Configured for fun and easy to start multiplayer campaigns, but it is essential to have similar load orders with your buddy to play in coop. Incorrect/mismatched load orders will cause an "incorrect version" prompt when trying to join a game.

Core Features of this Modpack:

-Ultimate Immersive Mod as a base with its expanded map and 12 turns per year
-Player only buffs to tax income, construction times, and research speed (1 turn research for fast campaign starts)
-Buffed buildings, now encampments give double effects, top tier buildings can be spammed, markets arent food hogs
-Buffed artillery and matchlocks, some gun technologies give extra benefits to both battle and income
-Reworked Skill tree, generals get a lot of skill points and a better tree to spend them in, agents get more points
-Agents have their recruitment caps reduced for less impact in campaigns and less headache managing them
-New unit cap system tied to buildings (This is from the "Dynamic Unit Cap" and severely limits how many units players and AI can make, might recommend turning this one off.)
-New naval matchlock units
-QOL addons




To make this mod pack work properly you need configure your load order as shown below. In Shogun 2, mods at the top of the load order overwrite those at the bottom, meaning smaller tweaks should load before overhauls.

You can adjust the mod load order with the Total War Launcher mod manager, this was newly added to Shogun 2.

Load Order:



OLDER GAME VERSIONS WITH OLD MOD MANAGER ONLY (If your game is up to date, script.text can mess up your files)
your load order is set by the order you enable mods in the built in mod manager, but you can also quickly set (and check) your load order by opening and editing the user.script text file. Just edit the line order of the mods in the text file, or simply copy paste the below load order.

You can find this file in:

*your local disk*\Users\*user folder*\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Shogun2\scripts\user.script.txt

(your *user folder* can be hidden, so turn on "show hidden items")

A common problem you may experience is newly downloaded mods not all being available in the mod manager UI, or your load order changing/resetting, so simply close and restart the game to refresh the mod manager, and keep a text file with your desired load order in the same folder for ease of access and reference.
