ETW Jidai

[PROMETHEUS ts]

Lol anyone interested eventually if ETW will be moddable for a shogun tw mod for ETW?

[Vagabond]

sound great but don't think i can live long enough ...

[John-117]

maybe...i think they may have an expansion going into japan and china though, so....itd be pointless til they announce expansion(s)

[Wundai]

Wow the original creator still lives.

Hey Prom, never met you on the forums I'm afraid, nice to meet you

Muskets and samurai........this means only one thing! "The Last Samurai" scenario!

[PROMETHEUS ts]

the 1700 tokugawa Japan is the Edo Period , pretty uninteresting , I think the most interesting is the 1500 - 1600 till sekigahara battle .... the classic Sengoku Jidai period ....

I think that a Japan era is more feasible than any other total conversion , for severall reasons :

1 uniquity of units , just change colors.
2 premade stuff from RNJ could be usefull
3 no need for land battles
4 there are already in the came some (pike)animations to replace the muschet ones etc... but of course some other made anims could converge here too .... its just about how moddable will be ETW....

There was a Shogun II start-up in the Mods section of ETW (before it got blown away by the Demo threads). Looking at what i contributed to that thread, it pales in comparison to your work (especially since it now makes the maps i haven't posted yet obsolete) (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=189625)

That said, everyone over in the ETW section seems to just want a global East Asia conflict (boring). I agree with you that a Shogun mod should really focus on 1500s Sengoku Jidai period Japan.

If you're looking for some help, I'd gladly sign up for some ground work, (I already have a collection of Family Crests for each prominent daimyo and some artistic profile pics of major and minor players in the time period) PM me or whatnot, I'd really like to see a mod focus on this time period.

I concur with you on the lack of uniqueness between factions facilitating the mod process, hopefully it will allow for the playability of all daimyo (unifying Japan under Kono Michinobu seems intriguing)

[Hayami Kagemusha]

hmmm 1700 Japan historically was a "boring" time period, but on the other hand if they do a general east asia scenario then it could be very interesting, seeing the now peaceful Japan challenged by imperial powers or resurgent neighbors

regardless, the samurai mod I'm looking forward to is right here. the attention to detail and historical accuracy is far higher here, I sincerely doubt the ETW team would have the same flair for Japanese history

wouldn't be better if they first finish this neverending mod?
and after that maybe we can wait 3 or 4 more years for the next one

your negativity doesn't help anything or contribute to the community

He makes a valid point Templar. poeple have been waiting this long a project that's release is still TBA, and here comes prom saying, "what do you think, edo era ETW?"

no.. rome plz... you have time still... will take at least 2-3 more patches before ETW is truly worth playing... but really, no one really expects this mod to be released.. just hanging around dreaming about what would have been awesome.

so are you calling the RNJ team liars? because Wundai said they are compiling the first beta right now, at least thats the last thing i heard.

[Wundai]

Templar mate... Please let it go, don't waste your energy

Let those who want to believe in a Beta coming believe in it, and those who do not, well.. not

[Preussen Gloria]

answering at templar night,you tell me about my negativity??
first of all i am talking about RAN NO JIDAI,now this mod started to delevop 4 years ago!!!
now they are still working on that "mod" this is a neverending story and you tell me to dont be negative?

With that kind of mentality, all the members would have stopped way before getting into the 4years of development, the mod would never have been more than just a project and all the work we have done would not exist. Making a mod isn't about being realistic, it's about hanging on to a dream and doing it despite its amateur aspect, its unnecessary aspect, its free aspect and its time-consuming-for-nothing aspect.

[Hayami Kagemusha]

no worries templar you aren't the only one frustrated by the clueless "neigh"sayers. to be honest after a while you just laugh when people who don't know what they're talking about say crap. It will be that much funnier when we're sitting down playing the mod and they still don't even know its released. Lmao, I can just imagine how many people would miss the mod completely if you were to put the download link in one of the on-going stickied threads.... its like if you don't have a flashing sign pointing to stuff people would never find it

[Zeppeli]

A mod not released after 4 years is a dead mod, also you speak about an ETW version... I suggest to convert all your work to M2 Kingdoms at least... I think a new installation of STW will be very soon on my pc...

Zeppeli I am gonig to say it ONE LAST TIME.

What makes you think anyone cares what your opinion on the status of the mod is? Hasn't anyone ever taught you that if you have nothing useful to say, don't say anything? If you want to ask something about the mod or their progress, that is fine. If you want to contribute something to the mod, that is fine. No one asked for an amateur coroner to pass sentence on it. Stop wasting the modders time.
