    most samurai did wear mask though.
    the only reason some didn't was they lost them mid battle or something.

    In what way is the samurai's swords not like a katana? Is it too short, too long, too thick, or too thin? It would be easier if you could provide a picture of a katana and explain how it differs from the Katana used in this mod.

    For reference purposes here is a screen shot of various Samurai units, the ones on the far left are samurai with Katanas.

    After doing some research I believe the katana is the about right length. Below is the samurai with the katana from this mod and a picture of someone with an actual katana.





    These videos also show how katana is used and does not seem to be longer than the one used in this mod.

    I also researched the nodachi, which is the samurai with the long sword, as you can see below. I feel this sword is also the correct length.






    Unless you have some evidence that the katana was longer during this period I do not plan to make the katana longer.
