Description
Better Cloud Ninjas is a revamp and upgrade of the Black Desert Ninjas (a.k.a Cloud Ninjas) to turn them into a full-fledged faction.

There are now multiple ranks based on the Black Dragon Ninjas (Genin, Chunin, Archer (chunin with a crossbow), and Jounin. I've given them a larger patrol area and the ability to spawn camps in their core territories. Jounin also have a small chance to spawn with a modest bounty.

I've also given them a base of operations in the Black Desert, the Tower of Shadows. There you will find the leader, Kuno Ichi. She has bounties with all three major factions for 50k cats. She also wields a Meitou Katana! If Kuno Ichi is killed or imprisoned it will break her faction. The camps will cease to spawn, the tower is abandoned, and roaming squads will be much weaker.

This mod also incorporates the changes in my mod Cloud Ninja Survival, which updates their gear to allow them to actually survive the harsh conditions of their home territory.

Two game starts are included; Footpads: 4 noobs with threadbare equipment sent off to prove their worth to the Cloud Ninjas, and The Shadow: a veteran Cloud Jonin tired of training the new kids has decided to strike out for adventure.

Sort of north central, if I remember correctly.

You could always have a backup save just in case things get wild and remove the mod if they pull a Dorothy and drop their house on you.

Where in the black desert? I have a robot base out there and would prefer not to have their base load it on top of mine...

Haven't played Kenshi in quite some time, so I can't tell you off the top of my head what might be the issue, but I'll try to remember to look into it.

My intuition tells me it's very bad luck, but I might be able to turn down how frequently the camps spawn.

Hi! Find this mod not so long time ago and really love you work. But i have, well, not trouble but strange thing happened. I love Grey Desert waystation tower and as usial repair it and make my hub in there. And with mod WS just happened to be surrounded by ninja camps. 4 or 5 always. And it just massacre. I try import and it always the same. Guards overwhelmed and WS is empty.
I know, i just could be unlucky, but this is looks more than bad luck for me.
Anyway tnx again! And sorry for bad spelling.

Good! I'm glad you enjoy it :)

Thanks for the clarification. That being the case, I still think this mod is great and well worth a coffee.

You are mistaken, most of those mods are not made by me, but ones I use myself and put into a collection.

All of my mods are here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/id/xirsoi/myworkshopfiles/?appid=233860

The next day she was back in the tower with her bodyguards. The rare wandering behavior might indeed be the reason. Thanks for the tipp, now I feel dumb for not testing this first. Also, I'm happy to hear you are planning to expand upon this already great mod.

After checking your other mods, I realized how many of your mods I use in my personalized loadorder: Hives Expanded, Better Cloud Ninjas, Wooden dexterity dummies, added missing and new bounties, copper ore drills, Cubic Foodcubes ... They are some of the mods I enjoy the most. Thank you!

AI Packages are weird. In my testing she never wandered far from the tower, basically walking around it then going back inside. It's possible there's a rare behavior in the AI Package that I chose that would have her wander farther, but she'd be with her bodyguards as well.

I'd like to expand on this mod at some point, adding dialogues and perhaps even some basic missions, so I'll consider adding a way to join the faction with an existing save.

Does Kuno Ichi wander from the tower of shadows? She was nowhere to be found. But the Tower and the faction was still intact. This was about 20 days after a new import.

Wiith the same loadorder and mods enabled I made another import, to test the spawn. She does spawn alright. Her wandering around seems to be the only logical explanation.

Another thing: Would it be possible to add an option to join the cloud ninjas with an already existing squad?
