[[folder: Tropes in Gekokujo - Daimyo Edition]]
* UpToEleven: The mod refines what the original Gekokujo did and further emphasizes the historical accuracy of the mod.

* RandomlyGeneratedLoot: While field & siege battles tend to give you VendorTrash in the form of low-grade weapons and armor, storming a rebel hideout sometimes yield rare foods, trade goods, resources, or even higher-grade weapons and armor pieces.

** There is nothing to indicate that certain yaris are couchable (the ones that are all have a "yari pike" version that is not couchable) and little reason for players to assume that they are, as samurai are not nearly as famous for using couched lances as European knights were, and the tournament format being entirely on foot means you'll never be randomly placed into a battle with a couchable weapon to learn that it's possible.

* MoreDakka: As much as can be done with muzzleloaders, Oda (and by extension, all troops from the Owari region) love guns and uses them more than anyone else. Oda's Hatamoto samurai are cavalry and gunners, and they're based in one of the relatively few regions whose Ashigaru skirmishers are gunners ''and'' get elite skirmishers. Taken together, this means that an Oda army is bringing a lot of guns to the fight and has a lot of skilled gunners that, when taken together, can fill the air with a staggering amount of lead.

** Among the companions you can recruit are [[Franchise/{{Touhou}} Youmu, Hong Meiling, and Teruyo]][[note]]Teruyo is an alternate kanji reading of 'Kaguya', and this has been a semi-popular nickname for Kaguya Houraisan[[/note]].

* BowAndSwordInAccord: Archers carry swords as backup weapons, and Samurai archers tend to be quite proficient with them.

* DoNotRunWithAGun: While you can fire a gun while moving on foot or horseback, your accuracy will suffer greatly, and all firearms present are longarms that can only be reloaded while standing still on foot.

** Figuring out what the best places to recruit samurai for certain roles and ashigaru, especially as skirmishers, is entirely unclear from in-game information.

** Pretty much all the samurai warlords, although they represent more their clan (there's no distinction between, say, ''Shingen'' and ''Katsuyori'' Takeda, they're simply referred as Great Lord Takeda) than individuals.

* TheMusketeer: Like their archer counterparts, gunners carry swords as backup weapons and Samurai gunners tend to be quite skilled with their swords.

* TokenMinority: There are a few recruitable foreigner companions in the game, mainly Chinese.

*** Samurai from each region can reach the Hatamoto rank in two branches out of four (gunner, archer, cavalry, and infantry), and which these they can reach the Hatamoto rank in is not clear when they are recruited.

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: The Ikko-ikki are unique among the major factions in that they have their own entirely distinct troop tree - while they have Ashigaru and a small handful of Samurai (only available at Toyama Castle, as their other "castles" are instead referred to as Fortresses and produce monks instead), their Ashigaru have no elite promotion and the Samurai have no Hatamoto promotion - much of their forces are from a unique monk troop tree with similar branching options to Samurai, but a distinct lack of cavalry and a greater specialization in polearms.

Oda's Hatamoto samurai are cavalry and gunners, and they're one of the relatively few regions whose Ashigaru skirmishers are gunners ''and'' get elite skirmishers.

* HiddenElfVillage: There are six non-aligned 'forts' that you can liberate. Once liberated, you can either burn them or occupy them. If occupied, they generate resources or soldiers every seven days. These troops have lower maximum capabilities than faction troops, but they're plentiful, cheap, and don't have a parent faction, and as such can be used against anyone without fear of losing morale. Each village also has an associated companion who doesn't have any conflict with any other companions and whose right to rule missions don't anger anyone else.

* JidaiGeki: It has the overall feel of it.

* {{Pirate}}: Shih.

* RocketTagGameplay: Compared to Native ''Mount and Blade'', combat in ''Gekokujo'' is extremely lethal and decisive due to abundant firearms that give even low-level characters and units great offensive power, as well as a lack of shields.

* WarriorMonk: The Ikko-ikki sect is comprised of this.

* HiddenElfVillage: There are six non-aligned 'villages' that you can liberate. Once liberated, you can either burn them or occupy them. If occupied, they generate resources or soldiers every seven days.

* MasterSwordsman: Since this is Sengoku Jidai Japan, you can recruit many to your cause. There are even [[HistoricalDomainCharacter the familiar names]] of Kojiro and Musashi[[note]]Naturally, you can't recruit both in one team[[/note]].

* {{Ninja}}: Characters with a particularly high mastery level in Throwing and One-handed weapon skill is functionally this. Amongst the companions, Mari is the most like this.
** Agent-type troops is depicted as this but they can also function as sappers in a siege.

* RandomlyGeneratedLoot: While field & siege battles tend to give you VendorTrash in the form of low-grade weapons and armor, storming a rebel hideout sometimes yield rare foods, trade goods, resources, or even higher-grade weapons and armor pieces

* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Pretty much all the samurai warlords, although they represent more their clan (there's no distinction between, say, ''Shingen'' and ''Katsuyori'' Takeda, they're simply referred as Great Lord Takeda) than individuals.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Averted. There is no shields in this mod.
