Movement Speed Reduction - NEW v2.0

[Yarkis de Bodemloze]

Movement Speed Reduction Mod v2.0

A mod for people that like a slower battle gameplay (like me ). It's the first step toward a more comprehensive battle gameplay mod in the tradition of TROM2 which I plan to do after somebody succeeds in making proper mod tools. I personally prefer the 30% speed reduction version, but I added several additional variants.

CONTENT

- This mod reduces the movement speed for all units by the indicated amount on the files:

mod_movement_reduction_all20.pack....................20% movement speed reduction for all units
mod_movement_reduction_all30.pack....................30% movement speed reduction for all units
mod_movement_reduction_inf20_cav10.pack.........infantry 20% and cavalry 10% speed reduction
mod_movement_reduction_inf30_cav15.pack.........infantry 30% and cavalry 15% speed reduction

- All units have a minimum speed for very difficult terrain to avoid excessive slowdowns (especially for the 30% reduction mod).
- Made Naginata units slightly quicker (there are still the slowest infantry unit)

NOTE: This mod makes ranged weapon units more effective since melee units need a longer time to get into contact.

INSTALLATION

Just drop ONE of the attached packs into your ...\Steam\SteamApps\common\total war shogun 2\data directory. The packs are movie files and don't need to be enabled. To deinstall just delete the pack file.

Many thanks to Taw for releasing his file converter for Shogun!

[THE HIGHLANDER]

well done and thanks +rep

perfect!! just what was needed. 30% seems to be the one that stops units from looking like they're sliding on the ground...

[Dynamo11]

Yep works like a dream at 20%, now my men don't fly about like they're on a caffeine-only diet

[SonOfOdin]

Awesome!!!!!!!! +rep

Super job !! This was much needed. I’m using the 30% one and it’s about the right speed now. Thanks +Rep

Nice mod, really appreciate it.
The game is tad bit too fast paced vs earlier TW's but that can be fixed eventually.. Maybe..

Anyone know how to tweak with the unit attributes / stats? Last time I did similar editing was back in M2TW and RTW. Didn't try it in ETW / NTW.
Thought to ask that in a existing thread that relates to the subject instead of making a new one and making myself look like a complete newbie.

Not possible for SH2, because the relevant files are not decoded yet. I hope that somebody is able to update the Pack File Manager, so Shogun 2 will be at least as modable as ETW/NTW.

this works great, although any units crossing water seem like they are going through molasses not water lol. it has a really bad effect on units crossing rivers.

Great! I was looking for that. Keep ready m8 when the game will be released

I should be able to finetune that. How much reduction do you use?

[T-Duke]

Yarkis do you plan getting involved in Shogun 2 modding as for Empire and NTW? I'm great fan of Trom II (best NTW single player mod imho) and do appreciate your work and ideas

[Hunor]

This mod reduces all moving actions? i mean battle animations too, or only the walk/run speed?

[Alkarin]

I don't think cavalry needed that nerf. Just infantry.

[Noif de Bodemloze]

This is excellent mod! God thanks this light-speed infantry era is end now!

[pajomife]

You used the pack file manager?

No plans yet. I have first to play the game.

Only movement speeds. Battle animations should be unaffected.

No, taws file converter. There is no PFM for SH2 yet.

Will this work with custom battle mods?
