Hello, I would like to present my first Total War mod, The GCM Unit Pack for Shogun 2 v.07
This mod adds new units to the Sengoku Jidai period (normal Shogun 2 not Fots or Rots)

I will be updating this mod and adding more units and also re-balancing units that players may find overpowered.

The mod works in multiplayer and i have been using the units in Coop Campaign and also custom battles, Also works with darthmod!.
you may experience glitchy sounds when using unit packs (bows sounding like cannons) if you encounter this problem then please see the post Here

To install simply place the pack into your Shogun 2 data folder and then tick the pack in the mod manager after launching Shogun 2

Now onto the current units!

Date No-Dachi Hero
The Date No-Dachi Hero is a powerful anti infantry unit that has very high damage and morale but is weak to cavalry, missile troops, and large groups of infantry.
You can only recruit the Hero if you are playing as the Date clan and have the legendary Sword School.



Matchlock Samurai Mercenaries
The Matchlock Samurai Mercenaries are an elite group of matchlock samurai who have high attack and defense, and good accuracy as well as reload speed, they are designed to fire a few volleys and then be able to hold in melee against basic infantry, they also have a higher amount of men then matchlock samurai, the reason for creating them was i felt that matchlock samurai were very weak getting crushed by almost any infantry, the way i see it these are still samurai and are highly trained dedicated warriors, that should not have difficulty dealing with a unit of ashigaru infantry when charged.

They can be recruited by any faction as long as you have a Gunsmith or above.


Long Yari Samurai
The Long Yari Samurai are an elite unit of Yari Samurai equiped with "Long Yari" Spears, designed as an anti cavalry unit these men share simular stats to Yari Samurai but with much higher bonus against cavalry and also pike wall and pike square abilitys.

Portuguese Galleon
The Portuguese Galleon is a ship similar to "The Black Ship" but is equipped with elite Portuguese Terco marines, Portuguese Sailors and Gun crew, and Portuguese Terco Sabres, the the entire ships crew has individual stats that have been balanced to reflect the Superior Portuguese Navy.
