[-In Progress-] Traditional Daimyo Armours - Samurai Clans

[Sakanade]

Right, where to begin.

I was hyped to start playing FotS, and was looking forward to play any clan that was near Iwate (I like to play with the Date clan)

So when I saw the Sendai clan pack, I got it during the summer sale (It was super discounted, so win-win).
But when I started playing, It was disappointing, the faction colors that were being used by Sendai made the Daimyo look like Coco the clown and his entourage.

(Seriously? A frigging bright yellow jacket combined with a skittles coloured jumpsuit?)
Needless to say, it was horrible, the Daimyo looked like he was going on a boat with a life-jacket, rather than fight in the Boshin war.

Now I play ultra traditionalist during my campaigns (that means, no modernization, halt in rank 1).
But the Banana Daimyo just didn't fit in with what I had in mind, so I looked on the forums for a way to modify this.

So this is what I came up with:

Now I have only done this for 1 clan, but seeing as many people request this kind of stuff, I just thought I could show them how.

Cool! If you could do this with the Aizu I would be very happy!

[Sakanade]

Ofcourse, I was already planning on doing the Aizu next, these will be my first mods though, so I have no idea how or where to upload them (of if doing this is even legal?)

Another question I have is how the hell do I edit my posts on this board? (I'm like, totally new)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also have an update as I have completed my Sendai faction overhaul.

So in short, the mod does this:

It allows you to play as a fully traditional Samurai Daimyo, complete with Sengoku-era armor.

The Daimyo's will have traditional clothing on the campaign maps (while moving around with army stacks)
But will have full O-Yoroi armor when in a battle (complete with crests and menpo masks).

As an example:

(Notice how at the bottom left he doesn't have armor on, but be honest, would you wear armor all the time? only into battle, no?)

You need to build up a certain amount of posts - either 25 or 50 - to edit your posts. Welcome to the forum .

It's really good to see people making use of the newer heads. Keep it up .

Thanks!
I posted my progress so far in the appropriate sub section of this forum.
So if a mod could delete this thread, or re-direct people to the appropriate one, would be appreciated!

YEEEEEES! finally! i searched several forums for months to find THIS!

why did it take soooo long to find a man like Sakanade respectively anyone took up this idea?!
they sell a damn game which has a traditional samurai vs a modern soldier on it but DOES NOT allow you to play as a traditional "leader"!!! i mean what does it feel like to lead an army of traditional samurai while wearing a goddamn suit? - THANX Sakanade!

when approximately will you release your first downloads? ... you cannot imagine how long i´m (and lots of others are!) waiting for this.

plus:
- would be great if you can modify the diplomacy window (swords instead of guns in background) and
- the "moving army stacks"? (somehow pretty important for immersion)

btw, will you provide traditional generals as well? or just the daimyo?
(hope deeply also the generals will have a traditional look!)

thanx man, you are our hero!
cheers.

Haha, thanks!

I was frustrated as well nobody did anything or even attempted to correct this idiotic mistake.

Well, tell all your friends and everybody you know, the mod exists.

Oh and to make your day even better, I already released it 2 days ago
