    Default Shogun 2 FOTS Sci fi mod?

    Well i essentially just wanted to see how everyone would feel about this:

    What about a sci fi mod for Shogun 2 FOTS?

    I think you could get closer to a good sci fi mod with Fall of the Samurai than you could with previous games, with things like Naval Bombardment (could represent air bombardment), the Railway system (which could represent alot of different things, bullet trains, air travel, even teleportation)....

    A really talented modder could even make it so that boats could travel on land (although i really dont know how) but then we could change the boats to aircraft such as planes or helicopters, battle map bombardments could become much more commonplace to represent how it is irl....

    The gatling gun could be modded to be a more advanced machine gun, and ideally the Tank models from the Great War mod for Napoleon TW could be ported to the Shogun 2 engine and then modded from there.....

    Best idea would be to start off with a custom battle only mod and then go from there. Let me know what you guys think

    I love the idea! But how VENNONETES said, is that all possible? I heard that shogun 2 is limited modding wise.

    I dont really know if its possible, wed need a crack mod team to pull this off since it would really be pushing the Shogun 2 engine to its limits.....I'd start out with a custom battles only mod, so all wed be working on is units to start off with....

    As for factions, ive been thinking, since its Japan we could have it set in say the year 2063 and the factions would be different companies/organizations fighting for control of Japan, one would have superior Exoskeleton units, one might be a Russian mafia backed faction, one might have superior infantry enhanced by cybernetics, one might have superior AI (better unmanned tanks and stuff like that), the list goes on....

    Anyways its basically a large test of the Shogun 2 engine, we'd push it as far as she can go and then stop there, although again the problem is if its too limited is it really even worth pursuing in the first place...

    I don't know how possible it is, and it would be REEEEEEEEAAAALLLLY stretching the engine to the limit, but....

    Yeah, this would be pretty cool.
