hello darth love your work ever scince empire total war

been playing fots
i was playing the 3.8 i think i uninstalled it and just went to 3.4 for a while as the gun boat spam and arty inaccurcy was driving me crazy lol

i have scicne installed the 3.9 patch with hotfix and its great i havent seen the ai make a single gun boat the arty accurcy is good as well, now when seiging a castle using snipers to take out the defenders is very rewarding i think you have the gun accurcy and deadlyness perfect now, melee is still top of food chain but thats how it should be after all this isnt empire its shogun with crazy armoured samurai running at ya, of course if they get in close infantry dosent stand a chance lol,all in all great fixes from 3.8 everyhting people had problems with you fixed and quickly

im sure a million peeps will come on with much more detailed info then i but i just had to tell ya as im enjoying this darth mod the best so far out of all you work, thanks for fixing shogun 2

loving 3.9 patch with hotfix

So apparantly the supression fire ability gives the unit hit a bonus to movement speed. This is a vanilla issue, not a DMS caused problem.

By default it gives:
-penalty to users accuracy
-bonus to users reload
-penalty to targets morale
-bonus to targets movement speed

Radious confirms this, and he also has made the change himself to his own mod to correct the issue. Could you add this fix to the next patch please Darth?

Hi, I'm just asking, I'm guessing full effects for the original (shogun 2) campaign are not yet implemented? I don't have Fall of the Samurai. I can give some feedback to that original campaign, because some effects are missing (such as generals only gain 2 points when they level up, not 3). Other effect work ok, like the CAI isn't a horrible cheater, morale lasts longer, unit sizes larger, and the unit portraits are different. However I know this campaign is known not to be working right once FotS comes out, so I won't give more detailed feedback if it isn't needed yet.

Darth, I still getting firearms sounds when using archers.

General issue at the moment, not a Darth issue. PFM needs to be updated, only no one can figure the problem out quite yet.

[Alan.rio]

Ok, thanks for the info.

[rob-a-dogg]

No problem

[DARTH VADER]

I am very eager to read your reports about this new update because I think I addressed all your serious complains.

You still get gun sounds for archers because you use another mod which adds units. AUM, Radius, other do not know.

I'm really really excited to start again a sengoku campaign with DM
But I don't really understand if all 100% features of darthmod before the the latest CA patch are still working for this campaign? (I don't believe ) If not, it's may be better to wait 4.0?

I will test a little bit the actual version tomorrow

[DARTH VADER]

Unfortunately the unit_tables cannot get in yet. They still cause problems (minor sound issues).

Thanks for noticing me this. Will have it in mind for the next update.

The only mod I use is yours, but perhaps the previous version didn't uninstall cleanly. I've had problems with the uninstaller before. I'll try it again, verify the game files, and re-install, hopefully that will fix it.

[DARTH VADER]

And this you say is another possible cause. Another user had the same problems and he had forgotten AUM installed in his game folder. So check for this also.

Ok, I will test a little bit the 3.9hotfix but wait the 4.0 for a serious campaign

Encountered some odd (broken) BAI behavior and bugged unit hiding.
Started a fresh FTS campaign as Nagoka, playing on hard.
My home province Echigo got attacked by Matsushiro early on, they preformed a good attack but lost horribly to my defenders, so far so good.

I then counter attacked, besieging their home town North Shinano, they then attacked to break my siege and they, being the attackers, did not move a single unit through the entire battle (that I fast forwarded realizing something was wrong) towards my line, who had taken defensive positions up on hills.
So the "battle" ended with a victory for me without a single shot fired.
Also, all units (spear leavys, line infantery, horse units) initially was hidden, as if they was in woods without a single three being nearby.
All my units as well as Matsushiro's expect the general of course.
Randomly about half their units and half of my stopped hiding about five minutes fast forwarding into the battle.
Yet units right next to them kept being hidden through the entire battle.

Yet units right next to them kept being hidden through the entire battle.

I saw similar problem in 3.6, but only if I was against Hattori @ Sengoku campaign. Sometimes half of their archers and katana units were quite literally stacked in a single spot in forests, and they did not move at all until you were poking them in the face.

[Brips]

In launcher, there is atmospheric sounds option. Ok. But what exactly?
Because there are:
-Twosock v6 formation sounds + traditional music mod (this music doesn't work with latest patch).
-Atmospheric sounds mod which contains formation sounds from Twosock + pain sounds + atmospheric sounds.

My question is, which ones are in the DM??
Because I only see pain sounds.pack without script line and pack name like with original atmospheric sounds which contains formation sounds.
