As a player of Gekokujo, you will start from nothing and attempt to gain control of the entire country, making the title even more fitting.
The name is a term often translated as 'the low-ranked taking over from the high' and was chosen because it was a running theme during that era: from the illustrious Ouchi clan-a belligerent party in the Onin war-being displaced by the Mori (their vassals) to the rise of Toyotomi Hideyoshi (who began his career as a cook and sandal bearer) to the beginning of the Tokugawa shogunate itself (Ieyasu was an upstart who probably fabricated a claim of descent from the Minamoto clan-the only ones allowed to be granted the title of Shogun in the first place). The project isset in the Sengoku period of Japan. Gekokujo is a mod for Mount & Blade: Warband created by team lead by marty4286.
