>tfw you will never see roman legions and the Lion clan tear into each other as their spiritual ancestors wage war around them... >no, legelus doesn't count, he wasn't real yodotai at the time
Though to be fair, they wrote the Yodotai to be far too powerful for Rokugan, to the point that any REAL invasion would have crushed Rokugan short of serious bullshit.
Hell I remember them casually mentioning that a single full expansion army had half a million men. Entire clans can only deploy 20-30,000 samurai. A single army of Yodotai outnumber the entire Emerald Empire 2-1. Of course it was conquering for 1000 years so yeah...
Before the game was sold story team DID mention that only under the Onyx empire, the Spider ruled empire, would Rokugan grow strong enough to actually stand up to the Yodotai.
So unless the shadowlands won they couldn't do anything with Yodotai without basically dooming Rokugan, or forcing the most bullshit story arcs that would put the Destroyer War to shame.
So they hyped them up too much and now really cant do anything with them...

They had clean water, but the streets of Rome were literally full of shit. Well, in the poor areas at least. It's debatable to what extent they were good or bad, so whether you side with the not-Romans or not, you should never be able to tell if you're on the right side.

>so few Rome inspired civilizations anyway Are you crazy? There are shitton not-Rome shit in fiction. It's just as mainstream as not-vikings, or even more.

stop shilling your shit game no one plays

>Entire clans can only deploy 20-30,000 samurai Wrong. The smallest great clan army is the Mantis at 66,000 samurai, the next smallest is the Phoenix at 88,000. The rest have over 100,000, with the Lion and Crab having over 200,000.
That said, the Yodotai still vastly outnumber them, they have expedition forces larger than Great Clan armies.

Actually the shit was pretty much everywhere, we have a really clean and sterile view of Rome painted by the early Rome Rediscovery Historians but we're starting to realise that the capital was a plague ridden mess where people learned quickly no drink the water. Even in the good areas though there are historical sources complaining about stepping out onto streets full of shit. It tended to be private property that was clean(because you'd have Slaves to clean it) but literally outside the front door was no one's property and therefore people rarely took responsibility for it.

Crane and Unicorn have over 200,000 also.

Im still in the early stages of worldbuilding, so I will prolly post about it in the appropriate general.
But some other ideas I had floating around was that the the comet impacted in the pacific and ravaged china leading to a mass exudes from the region leading to conflict.
The remnants of the Aztecs gain access to magic and revolt against their Spanish conquerors. Now they plan to take revenge on the Europeans.
The comet also melted the icecaps and put London underwater, now the Irish use this as an opportunity to attack the British.
Ancient Djinn in the middle east and Arabia awoke from their ancient slumber and claimed to be angels scent by god. When in reality they are simply using the Muslims to live luxurious lives as despots.
I also want to do something cool in Africa but Im not sure as to what yet.

>I'm playing it right now :) I don't want you to buy it, actually. You'd be the cancerous type to cast Burden of Time as R'lyeh and then spam Imprint Souls. I'd rather you go fuck yourself somewhere else.
