    Default [FOTS] The Northern Alliance Campaign

    The Northern Alliance Campaign

    This mod is rather simple: overwrite the Nagaoka campaign with factions who were part of the Ouetsu Reppan Domei (Northern Alliance) and make a large faction from the beginning. The Northern Alliance is represented as one faction, and, if you choose to play as them, you'll have a pretty big empire from the start.

    There are a few bits that lack polish, as I can't access the startpos.esf, the good parts of the database are largely inaccessible and I only edited the factions.loc text file.

    If it garners enough support, I'll expand on the idea .


    Here are some screenshots:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 






    As usual, just extract the .pack from the .rar file and drop it in Shogun 2's data folder.

    Here's the default file path for the data folder:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\total war shogun 2\data
    OR
    C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\total war shogun 2\data

    Enjoy !

    Wow.

    How fast... did you planned this all along, hmm?...

    I can see, that you still haven't be able to mod some elements yet...But since PFM couldnt open the newest patches...Really, i wondered what else do you able to mod at this time with limited tools...

    I whipped this up in a bit less than 30 minutes, in order to deal with my issue of not having much to interact with early in the game. Since we can make scripting.lua changes and swap out visuals, I combined two such changes and made the alliance.

    There's a few tables you can edit without issue, like with the rank fire ability Radious confirmed. Still, we can't access all the good ones like unit_stats_land .

    In any case, the mod does the trick, methinks .

    I await your Sendai Campaign mod.

    (preferably with the Daimyo of the Sendai Domain, still wearing the kabuto of Date Masamune.)

    (Its clickable by the way....An S2 overhaul mod.)

    Seriously. Click it. Its the only overhaul mod that's overhauling enough to bring out NEW clans

    Guess it did not pan out, numbers divisible by 3 must have been considered a lucky omen.

    That'd be nice, although everything is in the game for it to be a DLC and there's also some sort of entry here. They'd be foolish not to sell it as DLC, although I don't care for the concept of selling DLC for what is effectively DLC.

    Great job Anton. Fantastic work.
    As a side note, I want the Obama faction DLC as soon as possible. They are by far, IMO, the best Shogunate faction around.

    I'd love to play this later when it's been more improved, rep+

    If there's something I have a remark about it's the name, in my opinion Ouetsu Reppan Domei would be better name in-game.

    EDIT: IT seems that the Northern Alliance had control of these parts of Japan:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echigo_Province

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutsu_Province_(1868)

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewa_Province

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokkaid%C5%8D

    and that the capital was Sendai domain, so it's a great job so far without an esf. editor

    Daimyo seems to have been someone named Date Yoshikuni.

    Do you think you'll be able to do a minors pack for FOTS like u did for Shogun2? Cause I would love to pick the guys in the top right corner

    7 clans is so little to choose from

    I firmly believe it is an upcoming faction DLC for Fall of the Samurai. It was the one clan where CA created the different files and scripting necessary for a major clan but did not make them available upon release.

    Many thanks . This time I can mod it right from the start. Surely that means only good things .

    Thanks. I agree it needs some updating. I'm hesitant about adding more regions to the alliance, as they are already on the bring of realm divide. I don't want to draw emphasis on the Sendai and Date as I believe, as mentioned above, they will be a DLC . Unfortunately, the capital is defined in the startpos.esf .

    Ouetsu Reppan Domei definitely sounds better. I was worried the UI would consider it to be too big, but to hell with the UI .

    My minor clans playable method is DLC-safe (i.e. anyone that doesn't have the DLC won't be able to access it through my mods) so expect a "Boshin: Total Domains" as soon as we get a solid ESFEditor update.

    Wow, I really liked your minor clans packs, can't wait to try out the FotS version.

    I'll also try out this campaign as soon as I finish my current Jozei one.

    taw seems to have done the necessary work detailed here, so once he or someone else gets back to me on how that 'lzma' thing works I'll test everything out with a start to my aforementioned 'Boshin: Total Domains' .
