I happened to see the folder named Ming in Crisis in Campaign folder. However, we don't have this campaign currently. Will it be released in near future?

Skirmish mode "themes" in the set up screen come from campaign folders too.
But who knows?

Personally I don't care if we take the Sengoku Jidai Random campaign but allow Ming in Crisis armies to fight each other, on any type of map, even the reused one in Sengoku Jidai Random campaign. I just want to have a campaign core that I can build from raw to elite over a campaign, instead of one offs. Is this moddable?

Certainly it is. Currently I am somewhat the worse for wear, but all you would really need to do is make a clone of the Sengoku Jidai campaign, using the New Campaign button on starting the Editor. If you called the campaign MyCampaign, the clone would be found in /My Documents/My Games/SJIDAI/MyCampaign

Copy into this folder the ArmyList.txt, Squads.csv and Text1.txt files from the MingCrisis "campaign" which you will find in the main game installation in /Campaigns/6MingCrisis.

If alcohol has not addled me too much, you will then have a campaign on the Sengoku Jidai map using any of the armies from the Ming in Crisis set. You will also get some neutral states which may add some spice to the campaign.

Let us know how you get on. if it doesn't work I should be able to work out why.

This game is now complete.

I've managed to get it working, although it took manual creating a copy of the Sengoku Jidai Campaign in file explorer. Creating it in the game editor makes a new folder somewhere that I am not sure exactly. Pasting in the squads and armies then meant I could launch the campaign (still titled Sengoku Jidai, but oh well).

Oh man, this is great.

You can share your creation to the community if you want to.

Your edited / modded Campaing folders somewhere in My Documents (will update later).

Actually you should also copy in the Text1.txt file from the /6MingCrisis folder. (To get the correct army list and unit name strings)

Phew, much better. It was getting old seeing my arqubusiers being called "Honjin" etc. This is so great.
