Now, with the animation thing...

I've made another version of it, including kneeling general's bodyguards. It is here to download.

This verison includes modified part of unit_stats_land table, changing animation table of generals units, with vanilla stats. I'm thinking of making versions for most major mods in the future. Optionally (and preferably, because making all those options seem like a lot of unrewarding work ), you can remove unit_stas_land table from my mod, and change animation table entry for general's units in the mod you're using to the one you'll find in my mod.

I've decided to make this version first. Kneeling animation is good (metsuke from campaign map), but there is one problem > bodyguards can't use horos (and I actually like horos), because with this animation, horos start to spin and dance around samurai model like crazy. This mod includes variants files of gurds without horos for that reason.

I've tried another animation - that of kneeleng ninja from campaign map, and it works fine with horo, but there are other issues with it, like rising and lowering of groin part of samurai armour - quite hilarious effect for sure. I'll upload that version too, but little later.

Yea, looks great. Keep it up!

[BullGod]

Here's animation mod version with vanilla stats and bodyguards with horos (if you don't use some separate horo removal mod of course). Unfortunately they look like aroused pervert squad, but only if you watch them closely

Also, I found one issue with general animation - during pre battle speeches there is stool visible and it looks like if general is carrying it on his back. Not a big problem for me, since I rarely watch them anyway, but worth mentioning.

A shinobi put glue on the daimyo's stool to raise the morale of the enemy .

[Erwin Rommel]

No no no. Its just the Taisho being prudent.

"I cant have my hatamoto carrying my ultra deluxe Heiwa stool comforter 3000. Fine I'll just carry it on my back...its a good thing this stool boast shoulder straps ....."

-End of Commercial-

[Akaie]

I demand Goro Kishitani star in that commercial.

In any case, very good work, BullGod. I see myself playing another campaign with one of these guys soon. The only issue is: what one?!

[Gorhaax]

Absolutely stellar BullGod. Now I just need confirmation that it will work with the Sekigahara mod.

I assume you're talking about animation mod, because Seki uses mostly different set of Daimyos. Unfortunately, it's incompatible. It would require making a separate version specially for Sekigahara mod, keeping in mind that generals use yari instead of katana there.

I too find this mod very interesting, although I left it alone when CA introduced that famous sound bug, hoping to get back to it once that issue is resolved.

[ShimazuClan]

Beautiful work as always.

[Amaranth]

These are all awesome BullGod, excellent work! However the Shimazu one could be different maybe. I mean although it's historically accurate, I liked the ones with you made with Nobunaga's Ambition approach better. Check this Yoshihiro from Nobunaga's Ambition:

(with some touches here and there) could be nice for Yoshihiro. Looks fitting for Shimazu clan colors as well. Maybe you can add it as an alternative. Just a suggestion

Woah. That is so sexy, it would be awesome if BullGod could actually reedit him! Wanna try it BullGod? I love you long time?
Btw if you do, do it BullGod can you make Shimazu's face younger? Kinda like Nobunaga's face.

[Himster]

I love you long time?

Lol, that is so racist on so many levels.

About his face .. Nobunaga's Ambition have some Yoshihiro portraits, perhaps these might help:

And this one is Yoshihisa: ( as a close family member might also be useful for an additional reference.)

I wasn't planning on going back to Shimazu, although I've thought about making him wear a face mask (he is probably only one of daimyos that have illustration of him wearing one). But besides that I'm pretty happy with his looks. I prefer historical approach, and I've made Oda like that, because I remember him from Kagemusha movie depicted in that fashion too. It was just easier to get my hands on illustrations from Nobunaga's Ambition.

But... that being said, I have nothing against making some alternative versions of some daimyos.If I'll find time I'll get back to him. Now Takeda has priority, Kenshin is in works (I'm trying to make him look like Gackt, but effects are... disturbing and not quite satisfying). Also I think I should put my hands on Ikko-Ikki leader and find out where Shogun's variant file is, to "complete" the mod

[ShimazuClan]

Woohoo! I'm glad your going to do it and make a alternative version for the daimyos.

[Ranmaru~Mori]

Oh ... ... Oh wow. I absolutely adore this mod.

A small nitpick, though- most, if not all, of Kenshin's protraits with the man featuring facial hair were made after his death, while contemporary portraits had him hairless. He probably didn't have such a fine moustache. He still looks good though!

I'd rep but ah, I don't think I'm able to yet.

Thanks for at least considering it mate I can't wait for the future updates for Yoshihiro and other daimyos.
