NOTE: This mod cannot be integrated into any other mods without permission from The Hedge Knight himself. So please do not ask me for permission anymore.
New Update:
Version 2b is a quick fix to Hattori's Kisho Ninja icon issue.
It was a typo, now fixed.
This is a mod to extend The Hedge Knight's Unit Variety Mod.
This mod is unofficial, and all the original credits should belong to The Hedge Knight.
Original Unit Variety Mod v2.05 has missing hands and weird horse texture bug.
So the purpose of this mod is to extend his Unit Variety Mod v1 (which do not have the missing hand and horse bug) to include new unit varieties.
With Ftmch's permission, this mod also implemented a modified version of his Less Gloss Mod, so be sure to remove the original version of Less Gloss Mod or there will be conflict.
Note this only applys before version 2.
NOTE:
Version 2 and above are fully compatible with Patch 5.
This mod works online as MP units were not modified.
Version 2 and above removed old modified Less Gloss Mod but work with the new Less Gloss Mod, which is HERE.
Version 1 have missing hand bug for Warrior Monks in campaign and historical battle. Version 1.05 fixed the bug but reduced varieties of Warrior Monks' arm.
This mod conflicts with other variety mods that edited atlas files.
Version 1.06 and before conflicts with original Less Gloss Mod, because a modified version is already included.
This mod works with most clan color mods, and are recommended for best unit looks.
This mod should work with overhaul mods that did not edit atlas or variety files.
This mod may reduce frame rate due to loading more models.
This mod works best with unit details in Ultra.
Unit details on High will have less varieties while medium and low will have no variety. This is set by vanilla, and can not be change by this mod.

Installation:
1. Remove older version or other variety mods (and less gloss mod for v1.06 and before only).
2. Unzip and put the pack file to your data folder (usualy C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\total war shogun 2\data).
There is no need to edit your user.script.
I found out that unit variety is currently very hard to mod. So I will not update this mod any further other than fixing bugs. For new version of official Unit Variety Mod, please wait for The Hedge Knight to return.
No more update except for bug fix. So no suggestions please.
