Minamoto the Executioner, Part I:
Japan 1460 – The Muramachi period has ended and a land has entered a period of civil unrest. One of the most powerful daimyo’s in the land is the Yoshiro, led by a ruthless leader named Yoshiro Magasuki, his rule enforced by an army of 50 strong samurai.
Of these strong numbers the daimyo has its’ executioner, and a lord such as Yoshiro Magasuki has his, procuring the services of Minamoto Shikaku. Minamoto, a cunning and feared swordsman has indebted his services to the Yoshiro for over twenty years, and has maintained his lord’s power by killing all of his opponents and those loyal who dishonor him.
However, there is a dark cloud looming over the land of the Yoshiro, taking form of the Ikeda clan. The brothers Musashi and Nobunaga rule the Ikeda. Minamoto does not trust the Ikeda and their true plans with Yoshiro land and his master.
Minamoto the Executioner, Part II:
Japan 1468 – Minamoto Shikaku, the executioner has wondered the land for eight years, searching for those responsible for the deaths of his master, the Lord Yoshiro as well as the deaths of his wife and son.
Minamoto was framed for the death of his master’s murder by the Nobunaga brothers, who were eager to take over the Yoshiro daimyo using any means possible, including convincing Yoshiro’s army that Minamoto was power mad and would do anything to gain control of the Yoshiro daimyo, including murdering his own wife and son.
But when Minamoto wanted to name the true conspirators the Nobunaga had ordered Minamoto to be banished from the lands of the Nobunaga.
Now masterless and bitter, Minamoto had resorted to selling his skills as an assassin and mercenary to anybody with the gold to offer.
But when some village Nanushi, or town elders, recognized Minamoto’s true identity.
They told Minamoto that the loyalty within the Nobunaga daimyo wasn’t as strong as they were led to believe. They gave details of mass desertions within the ranks. They also gave stories of Lord Yoshiro’s killer’s whereabouts, having fled north with a band of Yoshiro ronin.
Minamoto decided to leave the next morning, wandering in no particular direction, needing to collect his thoughts and find his spiritual strength. This included a code of silence which he followed, as punishment for the shame felt he brought to his master for failing to protect him.
Seven long years passed and Minamoto began his search. Holding a cloth with the Yoshiro daimyo emblem on it, the elders in each village would shake their heads, not knowing what to think or say. Nobody knew a thing …
Until one day, Minamoto got a response and was told by an elder that there may be a village to the north with the answers he was looking for. But the bandits and ronin there were ruthless and would kill their own mothers for gold.
At hearing this, Minamoto felt no fear. He had dealt with much larger warriors in his time, and had lived to tell the tale …

This campaign is based of the Movie series Wolf and Little Cub.I really liked the campaign this has got to be your best work Brendragon,although you do overpower Minamoto a bit but that's why he's called the 'God of Death' in the Movie |

This is awesome! I loved the whole scenario. Triggers are put in well, and everything is 100% accurate. Well done. |

Nice campaign,
I found some bugs with locking/unlocking the gates, some opened when they were not alowed to, and others only opened when I rammed them.
The last scenario ends with the message: "to be continued", so I am looking forward to play part three. |

Excellent. But in the 2nd senario in the 2nd villiage Minamoto has to take the note to Nagasuki 'on the other side of the village'. I tried everyone, even the warrior kitabatake, but nothing happened. Trigger probs. Good try. |

Thanks for your kind comments. I admit there are some bugs that needed working on. I would love to have the time to be able to iron out these creases.
I am also not able to have the time that I used to when I did the first two Minamoto's to do a third - although I have had ideas how to have a third and final part. Unfortunately there is no time for me :( ....
I would love to be able to do it though, just to get closure on it. |

I have played this for the first time in 21 years and can honestly say I almost straight away picked up the bugs and faults with the design notwithstanding the map (which is the least unfavorable aspect).
In my defense it was one of the first campaigns/scenarios that I designed and was a novice with the triggers etc for designing the bones of the the project.
I spent over 20 years procrastinating whether to do a third installation but time got away from me. |
