So my efforts are not pointless after all.

I feel this reply to your comment Darth is worthy of it's own post.

For what it's worth, I shelved Shogun 2 almost instantly after playing vanilla and didn't pick it back up until a few DMS revisions had been released (so like a couple months I think). Your mod essentially took a game I wouldn't have touched anymore (and barely played to begin with, waste of money) and allowed me to get countless hours of enjoyment out of it. I wouldn't call that a pointless effort on your point. Thanks again for the work.

Seconded. I'd never touch Shogun 2 again without DarthMod. HUGE respect and appreciation for all the hard work that's gone into this wonderful mod

**mailor** · September 04, 2011, 03:20 AM

Exactly my point of view. Darth mod makes the game much more enjoyable. I wouldn't play the game no longer as well, if it weren't for this great mod!

**johnboy1998** · September 04, 2011, 07:12 AM

Yes I agree with all these points, however at least Shogun 2 was playable on release instead of the monstrous Empire Total war!

Yes but without some darthmod the games wear off quick!

Same here, I played one battle in vanilla then came straight here.

Just bought the game, after reading the forum i don't even intend to play vanilla.

I highly reccomend playing vanilla first, this will give you a true appreciation of how much better the modders here at TWC make the game

I watched few LP while waiting for my copy of the game to arrive so I have a good grip on what the vanilla campaign is like. The great thing about Darth mod for is that it seems to enhance the experience of vanilla instead of creating an overly complicated super-uber-realistic mod that is just not fun to play.

The copy just arrived and is being installed.

Same Here.

Same here, i'm a veteran of Rome and Medieval 1/2, and struggled on my first playthrough as the Shimazu. This mod fixed my main gripes with vanilla, mainly low income and blatant A.I cheating. I control 4 trade nodes with 10 ships each, strip all my garrisons to the bone and i barely rake in 10k a turn while enemies with 2 provinces toss full stacks at me? No thanks.

And thanks to this mod, just had a battle of 3000 men vs 22000 men. Epic

never played vanilla, no intention to

**The Juggernaut** · September 06, 2011, 06:15 AM

Darth should just start his own company, and rule the gaming galaxy!

**TeutonicKnight** · September 06, 2011, 01:01 PM

I have not even bothered playing anything else. A few weeks of vanilla at the start, then I jumped onto the Darth Mod Imperial Shuttle and haven't looked back since.

If it weren't for Darth Vader, I'm not sure I'd still be playing this. I'd probably have gone back to Medieval/Stainless Steel.

**Spinescens** · September 06, 2011, 05:26 PM

Keep up the good work Darth. The forums may go quiet sometimes but make no mistake, everyones still playing shogun 2 with Darthmod! Until more things are unlocked and new tools created, you have just about made this mod into perfection. This is pretty much expected of you now, because we all know how dedicated you are and this is why we all follow you from game to game
