Peasant Spearmen


Clan Archers
Clan Spearmen

Naginata Militia
Samurai

Mounted Clan Archers
Mounted Clan Spearmen

Mounted Naginata Miltia
Mounted Samurai

Ballista
Catapult

hi Druvatar

Short and sweet . imo you should ask yourself these questions:

Can you get this mod off the ground while also doing another mod at the same time? If yes then do it!
Is there another mod like this? If yes then I suggest you go join them.
Is this mod a good idea? Deep down you should know this yourself instead of asking us what we are interested into (unless you plan to gain some benfits from us playing your mod ). In otherwords your modding because you want to.

So in my opponion about the mod, Its a great idea! But I dont know of any other mods that have already the same theme, or any other mods planning to do the same things. But that dosnt matter so long as you want to do it. No one should care if everyone else is playing a different mod other then your own. It only matters that your having fun yourself.

This would probably be the most awesome mod out there! Something a lot of people out there have been waiting for years!

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

unlike
(AUH) ( major rep+ to Augustus` and Yelu) this mod will focus on Japan alone! yes Izob is right I have a project in process, which will come to glorious fruition! but that project is my initial project to validate my individual perspective on vanilla and prove my ability to create a mod within and for the mtw2 engine! once that is expeditated I inntend to bring ideas like this to "life"

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

Creating a World - Gig's Map Collection

might i suggest that you crop out everything except Japan?
that way you will not get bogged down with factions outside the scope of the original Shogun TW.

[DragonsWarrior]

looks perfect that asian map for your mod

[danova]

Hm i'm thinking on the joining... I'm almost ready with my mod (tLK).
Very good idea and area and chalenge...

these are the factions in the original Shogun
Hōjō (Purple)
Imagawa (Light Blue)
Mori (Red)
Oda (Gold)
Takeda (Black)
Shimazu (Green)
Uesugi (Dark Blue)

I`d like too add tokugawa
and the ming dynasty (for mainland China)
I will be uploading some screenshots soon as I have already Downloaded GiGantuses Japan map and have gotten started!

Depending on the start date, you can also easily add the Date and Chosokabe. If prior to Nobunaga's rise, then there could be a lot more factions in Japan.

[Horsa]

Perhaps adding the Jurchens and Mongols. I don't know much about them, but they seem good ideas for the north of the mainland, to keep the Ming dynasty at bay.

IMO you should use the same units and clans that the Ran no Jidai mod use, they're historically accurate:
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=329719

Also I would recommend using the Joseon and Ming units from Eras Total Conquest:

With one important exaction: the Ming dynasty did not use armored horses at all by the 16th century.

sorry not be critical but I happen to think it really is not constructive to tell a modder to use so and so`s units or what not! your like sending the message "why bother you cannot do anything better!" well thanks for vote of confidence!
too many mods r lame compilations of mods already done

[MemnonOfRhodes]

Awesome idea

Would help if i could
