This is a simple mod that adds in some custom battleconfigs / animation tables in order to add what I named the Katri animations. Basically, a cav unit using these animations will charge with their yari, and then switch over to katana when in close quarters vs infantry. When cavalry with these animations fight other cavalry, they sometimes use their katanas, and sometimes use their yaris. Foot units / dismounted cavalry units using these animations will behave the same way, with a variety of animations to choose from to dispatch a foe, using both their yari or their katana!
Changes from previous versions (when it used to be horse only!)
It is my understanding that samurai on guard duty were required to keep yaris. As such, Katana_Dojo, and Samurai retainers are equipped with yaris and will use both their yari and katana in dealing with foes. It is also my understanding that using a yari while mounted wasn't very practical when fighting foot soldiers, as such the Yari Cavalry unit will also use the animations (I've read that in various tactic manuals from the time period, cavalry would usually dismount after the initial charge, as fighting on horseback could be a disadvantage). No stat changes included, except I made it so Samurai Retainers have more guys than before, and katana_dojo (the katana samurai that defend a castle if you have a building that adds them) have a slight boost in melee defense.

Known Issues
Officers don't sync with their horses, because they don't use the animations. I need to figure out how to make them use them. FIXED!
Sometimes during a charge, the unit will not have his spear out unless the charge results in a matched sync kill.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE SAINTS AND HEROES PACK, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO CHANGE THE WARSCAPE_EQUIP OF THE INCLUDED UNITS! I made them use the new sh_yari, and I have no idea if you can use them without the DLC!

To use this on any other unit, make sure their warscape includes a spear weapon (naginatas work), and katana as the side arm. Change the animations to shogun_man_katri AND the horse_3 category to shogun_mount_horse_katri. Change the officer to officer_katri (you may change the equipment the officer uses in the battle_personalities db). Do NOT forget the horse_3 column, or the horse and rider WILL be desynced and it will look weird, same for the officer part! Also make sure the .pack is named something to keep it below the other sekigahara .packs. If you notice any bugs, let me know.
Note to modders. If you want to use these custom animations do so. Just credit me if you feel like it (hopefully you feel like it), because it took me awhile to figure out how to get the horse and riders to sync up instead of acting weird as hell (as in rider floating 5 meters away while the horse disappears, etc.). Also if you guys want to know how to make proper battleconfigs for cavalry, let me know and maybe I'll make a tutorial. Also if anything like this has come out before, I wasn't aware of it so my bad.
