Japanese

Japanese is a faction created by Hagekura. It is based on the Sengoku Period (Warring States Period) of Japan. It is the first of other factions that will be in an unnamed techtree by Hagekura.

History
Japanese was first announced on 25 October 2010. The latest version was released on 9 December 2011.

Public reception
The Japanese faction was well received by the Glest community, praised largely for its large techtree, uniqueness, and good quality models. Based on historical Japan, it was vividly popular and continues expansion with the recent release of a new techtree map. It has been considered being added into the Megapack, though no decisions were made and much work with balancing would be necessary before that could occur, in addition to the exclamation that the Megapack was too large as it was.

GAE version
Originally, there were plans for a GAE port, but those have since been shelved. An unofficial port was created by Kiko and can be downloaded here as a small secondary mod file.
