There are many who think that California is the last civilization to see in the west. That, after the shore lies an endless ocean. Yet, every now and again, a stranger washes up ashore. They look similar to those in the Duchy of Kern, or the southern tip of Baja. They tell of a God beyond the sea and the Great Black Ships.
Pre-Invasion[]
Visitors[]
On the west coast of America, it is possible for Edokko merchants to arrive or survivors of shipwrecks found. Unlike Ozlanders, Kinh, Singaporeans, or Hawaiians, someone else will follow them here.
Colonization[]
The Black Ships[]
Unlike the British or Brazilian Invasions, the Edokko give no warning before thousands of samurai are offloaded from four massive black ships. They will, however, only invade a single duchy at once, and become a Merchant Republic on success.
Also unlike invaders, the colonists come with relatively few troops: Only 3750 thousand, comprised of Infantry, Cavalry, Pikemen, Archers, and Horse Archers. (750 LI/450 HI/600 LC/450 HC/600 P/750 A/150 HA)
Japanese Victory[]
If the Japanese succeed over the Americans, they will get the targeted duchy (decided before war is declared), form an empire, gain 6000 tech points (2000 of each), and get 5000 gold for each patrician to set up their trade empire.
