Am I right in thinking if I have installed the mod as instructed and want to switch to "bloodthirsty" I can just extract and rewrite existing files only.

What exactly does the bloodthirsty version...

I really hope I'm missing something obvious and someone can put me out of my misery but shogun2 modding seems very hardcoded/limited

IIRC when I modded rome2 if table in your packfile had the...

Yeah flanking infantry is never as efficient/effective as flanking cavalry/missile units in TW games (except for s2 warrior monks). but I'm pretty sure huskarls can just frontal charge in ToB and...

PA is just a retard that uploads all those videos without understanding the basic mechanics.

There are worthy things to criticise about ToB, but having your army be your navy makes perfect sense...

edit:

Ok so I'm used to db editing with PFM but to do this I need something else to edit the startpos.esf file I suppose.

Best use is to disband them, they are objectively worse than a katana samurai.

but obviously don't because they can be fun to use, and its just a game. but seriously they are not good units at all...

Any faction in the middle of honshu is harder than the rest, especially mid to late game (except oda). I personally don't get why people think uesegi is hard let alone ottomo, the starts are hard...

Its funny that I used this thread as a source for this post on reddit, because I'm a bit tired of silly speculation. And yet you guys are still doing the same on this thread.

Every map for this mod I can find it outdated.

Does anyone have a up to date map?

Its pretty crucial in forming a strat to know where you can expand, and especially where the forts/towns are....

if you extract all contents of mediafire download link you get 7 different files:

I'm about to try the DEI again, I REALLY appreciate that you have updated your submod. It was quite horrible when I first tried DEI without it.

uesugi starting location is great compared to some, its tricky but not that hard to relocate to north region and once your there you've won.

For me its not fun to have all difficulty at start and...

Tokugawa is easily the hardest on legendary; I got pretty dam far in a "fair" attempt with it, but it already can be impossible if you get some terrible luck.

I think playing "fair" is hard but...

but for besieging castles the OP is right. mangonels and cannons disgracefully awful.

start point is everything in legendary. kyshu the southwest island is absolutely the best starting location, once you take island you boom eco then for realm divide you have 1 frontline all the way...

this sound like good idea, altho when enemy unit attacks spear square head on your matchlocks are going to friendly fire through your spear square I would think.

or you can just make entire armies of tercios, with a few yari cavalry for support. play it like a modern european army. thats what I did, worked fine.

I actually went for donderbuss cavalry,...

would be cool if there was a poll for good factions to play so many to choose from. playing durangia at the mo but was too easy.

I totally understand, I havent updated documentation of my own mod ;)

Thanks alot for the reply. I am quite hungover today so a typo seems probable.

I was just expecting something more glaringly obvious since I'm not very familiar with PFM, I wasnt expecting you to...

Hey magnar we talked a bit on official forums you commented how my mod was somehwat poorly made due to assembly kit.

basically yet again Ive spent hours trying to re-jig my mod with PFM for...

Rather than having to read all the change logs, I would like a post which has an up to date summary of all the changes to base campaign/combat mechanics. Partically "hidden" stuff like fatigue...

Ive noticed you lose acess to some units when you upgrade buildings not sure if intentional, just lost acess to archers on averni when built bronze workshop. also lost acess to greekchoppers on...

Hey just uploaded video to demo throwing axes I've added to rome 2 as part of my mod. And no, there was no throwing axes in native, AFAIK this is the first/only mod to have them.

...

ok its in the OP downloaded lastest schema link its 42

extract to folder where you installed PFM

I didn't see that either until now facepalm

so I'm having to uninstall and reinstall it in order to reset my raw data if I switch between working on different mods

I can rename tables in working data, before BOB'ing for compatibility, but...

You just highlight left most column of the row and press delete.

yeah I just downloaded lastest PFM from this thread and now all db tables are red unreadable. on older version I had it was just land_units thats why I updated it ;0

Ive been using assembly kit...

unit stats are all over the place in this mod. half the units in this mod have exact stats or worse stats than cheaper units available at the same time.

Battles were MUCH longer in history yes, but the way DeI tries to emulate this is not necessarily any more realistic. your men are exhausted after a 100 metre light jog, and then are 50% effective in...

Butan stop crutching on armour and pure STR

I downloaded update and im playing DeI right now and it seems fine

Well there is nothing on the ingame UI to say bows or slings have any AP. whereas javs still says it has AP. so by look better do you mean with PFM or something?

Ok I found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxiK7ia7Rho
might not have to use PFM either if I paste into my working data folder correctly

I cant see a guide anywhere on making custom unit cards. any help? Im using assembly kit

Interesting then why does the in game UI say they have 0 AP?
one of my main criticisms when I first tried this mod was that slings without AP were completely redundant.

I haven't play tested...

Can anyone tell me how you mod in unit caps per army like DeI has?

Thanks for update. I will have to set aside some time for a new campaign or two with it.

Sorry I just realised this is not the rome 2 section I got here from a search of unit cards. my noob.

Helpful post but not comprehensive

Is this possible with assembly kit instead of PFM? How would I insert into my mod pack

where is this magical UI folder? Cant see it in my raw_data folder. So...

Thanks for reply,

I decided to make a different sword unit for iceni instead and was expecting the same bug, but its fine. so still no idea on that front if anyone else gets it, sorry.
