*****REMOVED*****
Unzip and put darthmod_shogun.pack in the shogun game folder. For example in the destination:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\total war shogun 2\data
To test:
-Do not use any extra gameplay settings (To be sure just use MP Light settings in the launcher)
Special new in v2,85:
- All units adapted to the newest DLC "Rise of the Samurai" and several repairs made that were needed (units_stats_file corrupted, double index entries making buildings not buildable, new projectiles, many new entries in many files added etc.). Also some old settings were removed:
-Spot distances preserved as they are in vanilla.
-Yari Ashigaru animation made again vanilla because the previous change (to use only yari) caused lag and spear wall not to work correctly.- Several changes in the battle gameplay make battles more intense and difficult for the human player. Watch the melees to be as chaotic and heroic as ever. The new realistic melee system of DarthMod creates extreme charge penetrations, instant unit interactions and 1vs1 confrontation in which the better man prevails. You will not be able to control a unit easily once it is engaged, as it was in real life. The troops are ferociously entering the fray of the battle at every corner and do not hesitate.... in a few words the battles now are cinematic, violent and spectacular to watch but not easy at all to win.
- Ashigaru and Levy troops have increased size to compensate correctly their lack of fighting ability against samurai and elite troops.
- Unit untidyness made more realistic and not as razor straight as in vanilla (Improved the previous version).
- More dynamic morale changes during battles (projectiles and artillery fire affect more, winning or losing a battle make morale to get high or low etc.). The battle can now turn very quickly with decisive tactical manoeuvres and momentums.
- Daimyo fighting abilities now vary per character (in vanilla all are the same).
- Ancillaries reworked from scratch. Now they are more useful.
- Skill points increased from 2 to 3 for Genpei units.
- Skills for characters have been improved.
- Changes for the Launcher:
- Ashigaru Boost option removed (It is on by default now)
- Realm Divide Mild option removed (It is on by default now)
- Demokritos mod option removed (I was not able to collaborate with the creator: he asked me to frequently request permission everytime he created his ABCD1234 version of his mod.....)
- Gallus Domesticus Oda-Tokugawa alliance mod updated by me (he is absent a lot of time so I had to do this alone, but full credits go to him for his very good mod)
- Every other setting is updated as necessary.
