Please read everything in the first post of the Bugs and Technical Help thread before posting a problem!

Installation

Please read the enclosed text file "Version Information and Installation.txt". It will give you all the instructions necessary to set up the campaign. In addition, f you did not tell Steam to install into a specific location, the file path should be:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\total war shogun 2\data
OR
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\total war shogun 2\data

Notes!

We have already had one unfortunate case of a destroyed avatar; if you value yours, don't use MP avatar with The Sekigahara Campaign. Multiplayer Campaigns are fine, though!

Check the Information and Guides Index on information regarding the campaign.

Using a save game generated by an older version with a more updated version of The Sekigahara Campaign is not recommended. Consider starting a new campaign or finishing the campaign with the older version of The Sekigahara Campaign.

There are only two supported localisations: English and Spanish. The Unit Pack Compatibility project adds Spanish language support to The Sekigahara Campaign. Post there if you have any issues.

Properly removing The Sekigahara Campaign

If you have any unit selected in an army setup (no matter how small) in custom battles, removing the mod and opening the custom battles menu will crash the game. Do the following if you want to use the vanilla game:
-Delete all files in these two folders below:
C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Shogun2\army_setups
C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Shogun2\battle_preferences

Note: I have launched this before completing all the things I wanted to do for it. For example, I have started inserting political diplomacy factors. This is due to CA's noting that they will apply a feature to the original Shogun 2, that may very well be using the startpos.esf. For me, this means completely re-creating it to have the campaign fully up to date, which is a terribly daunting task. At the very least, I don't want to complete the diplomacy factors, only to have to do them again in a fresh startpos.esf. At the very least, I give you an updated version of the campaign that will, along with FOTS, distract you while I sit in a corner, drink vodka, bludgeon myself to death, reemerge messiah-style and continue work.

V0.8 Updates:
Updated Honjo heraldry (mon change, same colour scheme)
Fixed Hyakunin Teppo Corps models not showing up
Added models for Sakakibara Yasumasa, Uesugi Kagekatsu, Shimazu Yoshihiro to campaign; first two added as generals
Removed Sanuki from Ukita's victory condition regions as it conflicts with the Toyotomi
Removed Kozuka from Shinano-Sanada's victory condition regions to afford the player the choice of war
Remove Sugihara-Kikkawa alliance, added Ukita-Kikkawa war, added Ukita-Sugihara alliance
Fixed Matchlock Ashigaru not being recruitable by Kuroda
Appropriate stats and unit sizes given to rebellion and garrison units
Fixed the incorrect recruitment requirements for the Komo Morutaru and Mobile Cannons
Added 'Silk Farm' test chain to Settsu (text residue still refers to region specialty slot as "Philosophical Tradition"; plz ignore)
Fixed the CTD issue arising during the Iyo-no-Kato's turn (This is theoretical; make a post in the bugs thread if you have any CTD's during an AI clan's turn)
Since Yoshiaki's general model is no longer used in the campaign, I added it to the officer slot of the Tachi Guard unit
Updated names of generals and family members present at the start of the game

The 0.75 beta features:
-Two new playable clans: The Kuroda and the Go-Bugyo (The Go-Bugyo campaign is freeplay; same scenario, no time limits of expectations).
-Further implementation of the 'Sekigahara' scenario
-Historical daimyo models for Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Kato Kiyomasa as well as new daimyo models for Kuroda Nagamasa, Kato Yoshiaki, Otani Yoshitsugu, Ikeda Terumasa, Hosokawa Tadaoki and Kobayakawa Hideaki.
-'Dairinin' (agents) make their debut.
-16 unique unit concepts on top of dozens of standard units and unit variants.
-Extensive polishing and bug-fixing (one major point being daimyo names).
...and much, much more that would take a fair bit of time to properly document.

-Significantly increased building costs
-Better distribution of units to each military chain
-Heraldry of the Historical Battle of Sekigahara has been fixed and changed
-The map at the top-right of the screen uses appropriate colours to represent the territory/territories a specific clan controls

There are also many other less notable changes in v0.6.

---

Updates between v0.5 and v0.55 (to enhance the playing pleasure of the preview):
-A detailed rebalancing of the units, doing well to remove the decisive paper-scissors-rock setup.
-Buildings now have appropriate turn/koku costs.
-All major clans use their yari ashigaru variants and matchlock ashigaru as their core starting armies (some also use more elite units).
-A range of fixes for the Toyotomi monk and his skill tree.
-Fixed the Mogami perceiving the Date as an enemy rather than an ally
-Katakura Kojuro is a Date general, classed as his brother
-New general type: teppo taisho; in the campaign, Masamune and Kojuro have this taisho as their unit base.
-Fixed Omi's -2 food supply issue, upgraded the farm to a "consolidated millet field" and the castle to a 2-tier.
-Fixes from the two mini-patches merged in the main pack.

---

The current v0.5 preview shows off the work put into the campaign to date (8th/9th of January, 2012):
-46 new (or in some cases revised) clans, three new rebel types and a new take on the Wako Pirates.
-a new set of playable factions, chosen with the factors of character popularity and a desire to have as few of the old playable clans as possible. (examples can be found below.)
-an overhaul of the campaign map, providing stunningly diverse and hyperbolic textures (examples can be found below.)
-a political alignment system: this introduces a new layer in campaign tactics as each province has their own preferred clan.
-new building chains: vanilla-influenced building chains have been rebuilt from scratch alongside brand new building concepts.
-a re-visioning of vanilla units, a custom unit pack and visual unit variety!
...and much, much more!
