PS: I know I am nitpicking, since the mod looks to be on the path of greatness for those looking for a samurai mod, with the samurai getting buffs for following the bushido code. My point is that during this timeperiod, while japan had some of the groundwork of what is now known as bushido, there was nothing even close to it until japan was forced out of its isolation by the US and they need a way to indoctrinate children in preparation for the army since japan's leaders wanted to also get into the colonization/imperial great power game. And of course since they had nothing better to do, they went with what was generally said about their ancestors and then applied it to themselves but since they didn't remember all the negative traits their ancestors had, only the good traits, they were 100x harder on themselves as a result.

Funnily enough, all that bushido code was a result of japan being unified in 1603 after the collapse of the japanese empire in 1467, so all the samurais which became warlords during the collapse, had to be put into another industry, namely bureaucracy, which made them think of 'the good old days' and how 'honorable' their ancestors were as they could prove 'their virtue' in battle. So the below is irrelevant if you want to have samurai japan, even if it would be inaccurate: Wow this is so weird, I have been recently hearing Dan Carlin's Hardcore History's latest episode, and it began on an a huge exposition on how the bushido thing came into being etc. So you had to splurge constantly and only carry enough to get you between tournaments. So capture the occasional duke's son and you've got a fat purse on hand-and no place but your person to store it.

Though if you ran a good tourney circuit with some skill and managed to avoid being executed as a bandit, life was pretty good as a hedge knight in the high middle ages since knightly tourneys still followed battlefield rules-if you captured someone in a tourney they had to pay a full ransom to you. And sometimes they were-legitimate hedge knights basically could only feed themselves by winning tournaments or serving as mercenaries. Generally even if being good guys they would be accused of being bandits or such since no one of importance really had their back, except occasionally the church. Again, the european version was a hedge knight, who were landless lordless knights with little but their training and armor to their name. But most of the time ronin were more likely to be fighting for the little guy out of honor than a legit samurai. They also could occasionally be found as bandit groups which were bandit groups.

Often they would be mercenaries for people, even peasants, and provide security when the lords were unavailable or even the threats posed.

They had no loyalty but to their own morals and code-so while if your lord ordered you to execute every priest in the city as a samurai, the only propper response was 'At once!' a ronin was free to ya know, not randomly execute people, or even go and defend them in defiance of the lord. While samurai were expected to do whatever their lords needed-and often could be arrogant assholes about it, ronin possessed the skills and training of samuria but were free men. And hope you have a way to demand seppuku from particularly low honor/prestige individuals.ДЄlso notes on ronin: Generally ronin were the 'good guys' if you were a peasant. However, just in case anyone is confused or upset about that I'll leave it there.

The actual code we know was part of the post-sengoku reforms to society, which prevented peasants from becoming samurai and sought to give samurai other purposes besides brutal murder since the guy who became shogun looked at the history books and believed to prevent another series of wars(Japan had them regularly even before sengoku) the key was to curtail the samurai-limit their numbers and change what they are so they no longer were bred as tools for conflict. If that included commiting genocide-well most epitomes of chivalry technically put an entire settlement or two to the sword during their day. The codes are both pretty versatile in that they were whatever the lord needed from his retainers. I'll just assume based on your intro your well aware that bushido like chivalry was a much later romanticization of a code that said 'Be a good murderer for the nobility your serving'.
