Thread: Where the hell are the quivers?

    Default Where the hell are the quivers?

    I just noticed something after 350 hours of Shogun 2 - why don't any of the archer units have visible quivers? In other TW-games this was present and it seems like a pretty big oversight.

    Yep. Never noticed it either and I usually do. Maybe there are just too many anomolies to point all of them out. I mean in FOTS archers fire further than rifles and flaming arrows from nowhere. So I guess these are just wizard archers.

    Yea, I give up in CA world.

    I always wonder how the hell did they come up with the move of getting the arrows out of the ebira, by grasping the arrowhead end, and not like grasping over your shoulder and take the feathered-end........fletch was it like in other archery.

    I mean ebira is just a small box that just covers the arrow heads. Hmmm....

    Seriously. Click it. Its the only overhaul mod that's overhauling enough to bring out NEW clans

    By the gods....


    Why have I never noticed this before?

    I always thought the archers looked, like, skinny, compared to the other games. "They're not eating enough rice." I always thought to myself.


    Nope, just turns out they were giving physics the bird.

    I noticed, but that doesn't bother me all that much. The lack of scabbards didn't bother me half as much as I expected it to, either (it actually bothers me more that no one wears the swords in tachi-mount).

    Fire arrows don't bother me as much as I thought they would, either (fire arrows were never used in an anti-personell capacity), as they need to be researched (and as such do not appear early in the game), and it takes about 5 minutes before you can use that ability again, per unit. So thankfully I do not get to see fire arrows all that often.

    The main thing that bothers me in Shogun 2 is that visually, everyone wears the same armour. Naginata samurai and no-daichi samurai, at opposite ends of the armour scale, wear the same armour visually. Granted, the no-daichi units often wear no helmets or neck protection, but that aside they are just as heavily armoured judging by their appearance.

    Well...the rest of the players pointed this when the game came out...but in the End, just left saying to themself "We Couldnt Have It All"...couldn't we?
    Some Modders found a possible way to add Scabbards to the Game...But Then...

    This bugs me as well.
    Why on earth you can't customise your men like you can in mp is beyond me. A massive skirmish on legendary and it's impossible to tell what unit belongs to whom as everyone is dressed and coloured virtually the same.

    Yes, I hate it too. I would`ve loved being able to customise my Diamyo and particular unit looks. I am the boss, if I want to change how my army looks, then let me, as long as I can afford it. what`s more galling is they said we`d have it in napoleon, but we didn`t. I nearly bought the game on that false promise. To this day I haven`t because of it.

    I`ll take the cynic`s reasoning here and say they did it to attract the MP crowd.

    Lol, I never noticed that.

    Yep, ammunition storage is something needed here. From the wooden or leather quivers of RTW through the side-held metal bolt cases of Medieval II, to the powder racks and bullet bags of ETW-NTW, these things were present, always.

    Don't worry, these are Japanese. They are anime soldiers who can magically make an arrow or bullet appear in their hands.
