Ergo, they had the grounds to change historical facts while making references to it.
And isn't that what they did? They made a mock up of the whole war, without specifically dividing the lands in the way the lands during the Sengoku period was, gave each piece of land a lord, gave some lords (or actually, just one lord in this film) motivation to fight for - peace through unification and curbing social ills in Ieyasu's case -, actually have a war, actually unite the country/ curbing social ills. There, they did change historical facts, albeit not really historically, and made references, albeit also not directly. But what they did or did not do with regards to the actual Sengoku period doesn't matter; this wasn't supposed to be a historical documentary anyway..
Everyone was pretty miserable
The point of making the people seem miserable was to give the warlords, or rather, just Ieyasu, a motivation to fight.
we did not see much of the people outside of the armies.
Are you sure? Are you forgetting the part where Ranmaru made her speech to Kaito, and there were people praying for rain, food, etc.? THAT was a display of the people outside of the armies.
Especially considering all the bujin riders saying they want peace.
The Bujin riders did not want peace. The Bujin riders had NO personality in the film and therefore could not want peace, or have any other desires for that matter.
Plus, Wizard and Fourze's faction teamed up..... So..... WTF?
They formed an alliance, for each other's advantages, because they see benefits from working with someone who share the same ideologies. Why fight someone you can call a friend? Alliances work even in the modern day. So how is that a 'WTF' moment at all?
From what I can tell, you don't even know what you expect, or would like to see from the film. Everything you've stated you want to see, or do not understand the film, either has been explained to you, or is in the film. But... you probably turned a blind eye towards them. Heck, you might even be criticising this film not because you have a solid basis to, but rather simply because you want to. Yes, we noticed it when you said you have a poor opinion of the movie the first time you said it. You don't have to repeat it over and over again.
