yup

is this mod stillling working>?

Mods amazing but one question in the photo who are the ronin’s fighting?

This is a great mod but I am noticing the units are walking into battle with the sheathes as swords. Does anyone know what causes this? Thank you.

hey man love your mods! great work!! the only problems i am having are that this mod and the 47 bow maidens over wright each other (whichever is higher on the load order will be available) if you know any info, maybe im missing a sub mod. I know this is an older post too so hopefully you still get it

You're welcome !

good

Ive not had any issues myself. some people got issues but its not always easy to determine why. Most never report issues, nor has there been any updates. all should be good.

does mod work post 2022?

i dont know why but the mod does´t work anymore atleast on my game

Yes. Perfect :)
Enjoy the mod :)

Thanks anyways, I tested it just a little bit ago and it works, Immersive mainly edits everything in the startpos. So adding units doesn't damage it.

Im not sure. if immersive adds to the default ccampaign and nothing else, it should work.
But again, im unsure. Never tested or tried immersive.

Does this mod work with Immersive mod on Shogun 2?

Have a good one :)
You can still look into it, but I've not seen any custom built mods at all other than the anime ones, so I suspect if it was possible, much more experienced modders than me would've done it.
We did it with MTW2 and Rome 1 and such for instance. Idk why Shogun 2 was restricted.

damn thanks for the answer tho

Im afraid its not that simple. We never got proper creation tools for Shogun 2. Someone has used animators and 3D builder programs to design units like anime fantasy stuff but results were very raw, albeit I'm not critical of them.
CA never gave us proper tools. So to answer your question: yes you can do it, but I I do not remotely believe the models you'd create from scratch would be good. We're talking 1995 looking polygons.

quick question ... is it posibile to make like a yakuza unit with tattots and make them look simlar to this unit aswell i think it would we dope

Yeah I intended for them to be a slightly superior but more fun version of Katana Samurai / bodyguard defense. A shock-troop bunch of badasses. Master duelists without being in direct competition with the heroes.

Nonetheless, more fiction and japanese action movie logic went into this unit than thorough balancing :)
Same for all my units really, with slight exception to the Female ninja and dragon guard units. Those 2 required more work since their special abilities could easily be too ridiculous.

I think they are what was missing. In my game they only cost me 650, and kill way more than just katana samurai with lots of losses, but dealing a great blow. AI, seems not to invest too much in them so they are a slight imbalance for your ambitious lordly army. Using them wrongly gets everyone slaughtered, they are best if you surprise flak foes, or standing in your pike wall..

haha thank you.

Good for you, Ben!

Not making any changes.
Feel free to edit them yourself using Packfile manager.
The unit is just fun with lots of nice abilities. All fantasy without being too overpowered. The fact that 3 sword ashigaru kill them is a good thing because they arent elite. Just a slightly different version of Katana samurai with some fun buffs.

Once again. Feel free to rebalance them yourself.

This needs rebalance. Badly.

Unit on its own has good stats, abilities, but its useless because its price. Tried some experiments in custom battles.

They DO defeat Ronins/Samurais in 1 vs 1... But get literally obliterated if you use "equal resources" condition.

Your ronins cost 1300. For example, sword Ashigaru cost 400.
1 vs 1 ronins win... with 50% casualities!
If I send 3 sword ashigaru units (so I still spare 100 koku) agaist 1 ronins, theese dudes get OBLITERATED.

I think it would be more practical/accurate if Ronins were like this:
a) Cheaper than samurai (but more expensive than sword ashigaru)
b) High morale
c) Easy to kill (low defence)
d) Large units
e) Higher attack, charge bonus
f) Special abilities (like they have now) OR kisho training (not both so they are not overpowered)

I imagine them as a "substitude" to sword samurai+nodachi samurai (charge bonus) that are not available to Ikko Ikki. They would be "natural" next level of "sword ashigaru".

Just normal wako pirates that are modded by another mod. Think it was armored samurai or something. :)

What unit are the Ronin fighting?

Hey man. Feel free to do it yourself. There are some tutorial links in my major mods where I explain how you can open files using simple, free software.

I dont have time to make a new mod upload these days but you opening the mod yourself to edit an existing one is very easy.
My tutorials or googling the method takes but a few minutes.

happy holidays :)

Cus if a supergood Ronin unit is only 100 men, it still takes the place of another unit slot where the normal is 200 or 160 men. And that just makes it wierd. pLs make a mod where inf is fix sum of men like 300 and cav is fix at 60 men and musqueteers is 200 men. (ninja is not a battle unit). And where is army rangers, First to battle fieild is ALWAYS lookouts troops....

What was the standad formation for inf cav musqeteers? We need fixed like 300 60 and 200. or What ever was commen in Japan in that TIMEPERIOD.

oh pls pls make them to 200 men like all the other units....

I considered it but never figured out how so I just improvised :)
Feel free to make any edits. I consider them finalized projects from my perspective :)

also would be nice if you made shogun 2 like unit cards, it kidna doesnt fit (most of your unit mods)

Happy to share :) Enjoy and thanks for appreciation. I hope to make mods for Three Kingdoms soon enough.
So far the data entries in that game are so messy compared to shogun 2. Time shall tell :)

love your mods man

Thank you, man :)

Hey I think your mods are really cool, keep it up

Hey can you help me learn how to make custom units?

Thank you :) I have no date on it. Dual tasking a lot.
Time shall tell :)

Hey man. Im afraid not. I'm mostly a unit variation editor. I dont have much knowledge of shoguns files concerning adding specific traits and such to generals / factions.

Exactly... what I had in mind :) The simply clothed deadly ronin mercenary or duelist.

"My lord I dont think challenging this guy was a good idea"

*ronin inches closer and smirks*


""yes my servent lets get out out of here."

"Ha! he's just a filthy peasent"

*reveals katana*

"well shit."

Glad to hear, man.
How weird that it caused a glitch for you and not me knowing all is standalone = Independent of stuff which means that there should not be changes per rig.

Well. Good to hear its fixed lol :)

Afraid not, man. I can't get around that without removing incredible head variation because of how Shogun 2 is designed.
If I remove all clipping heads it results in very very few faces and I'd like for the non-helmet wearing samurai to look varied.

CA never gave us an option to specify which heads use specific helmets. So i'm afraid theres nothing I can do to fix that.

Any plans to remove the heads that have hair clipping through the hat? Otherwise great mod.

Update out: Removed Data entry regarding a banner that I had disabled. Hopefully it'll fix your issue. But I genuinely dont know if it will, sir. Because I see nothing since I disabled the flag from appearing :)

Lets see.

This is what I see. Took the image 20 seconds ago
Now, i dont know why you're getting a flag bug but I will try a fix although I have no clue if itll work because the mod is entirely stand-alone and any issue affecting you should technically affect me. Im removing a data entry and maybe itll work for you. Expect an update in a few minutes, sir.

Have you got any other mod saved as "movie type". They are automatically enabled by default.

98 % of issues I get reports of are typically results of mods interacting with eachother negatively.
load order problems :)

Try to remove them all ( disable) and run only Ronin. See if the issue persists.
