I thought of that myself but didn’t want to impose. I suppose if you were to play as one of your character’s children you could round down from their stats with some sort of fairmath wizardry and then start stat building from there again. Choicescript is a fun medium isn’t it?
Setting it towards the end of the period might be the way to go but that means you’ll probably lose Nobunaga and Shingen and some other interesting characters which would be a real shame.
Still get the lustful monkey chancellor though I suppose and obviously Yukimura being awesome.
