Request to iGood for FotS

**Captain Arrrgh!** · March 18, 2012, 01:12 AM

lGdood's taction unit V2 is really nice and it's refreshing to see a different model in the game. So here is a request that probably a few people are already wondering about.

lGdood, when Fall of the Samurai comes out, do you think you could take a foreign officer's head and stick it onto a katana samurai's body, so we'd have a Nathan Algrin/Jules Brunet-type character leading some katana?

Okay people, commence flaming, but I for one, wouldn't mind living out my gaijin fantasies vicariously.

What do you think lGdood? Is it doable, or is putting a foreigner's head on a samurai body not practiceable?

It could be called 'naturalized foreign unit' or some such thing.

Thank you for the kind words.
I can most certainly try, but there are some limitations as to which model parts can go with what.

For example, I set the files to give the tactician's bodyguard units more "parts" from the katana samurai units but those didn't show up, leading me to believe that ashigaru helmets can only be used with monk robes and regular ashigaru armor.

If I can make a request, can you do a unit transfer (like Rots to SJ) with FOTS? I'm definately going to try it first but I really want to be able to have access to all new units on the new campaign map...

**IGdood** · March 21, 2012, 12:40 PM

I believe that's illegal, since both games are exclusive from each other...

At most it's only going to exist on my computer.

man, it seems anytime I make a suggestion... It's always illegal

**IGdood** · March 21, 2012, 04:23 PM

Because the illegal suggestions are the most fun.

I mean seriously, who wouldn't want to send a horde of Naginata Levy to their deaths at Gatling guns?

Those guys are so wussy.

Seeing your clear affection for the onna bushi,any chance of a joshigun unit for aizu?? Or would it require a female model actually in fots? Sorry to jack the thread

**Captain Arrrgh!** · March 22, 2012, 08:04 PM

IGdood, if it is doable, it looks like the... uh.... handsomest (

) character is the british agent model.
I mean... I don't play for the pink team or anything... But if I'm going to live vicariously through a game, it'd be nicer to see a suave looking gaijin in samurai armour, rather than a yank with a big honkin' American Choppers moustache.

I don't know about IGdood, but I have the internet speed of a third world nation, it's going to take me a few days before it even finishes downloading, not considering the modding...

I'll release any units I make as long as it's legal, seeing if I can just import the unit models to the new campaign is first on my list...

If I can get it work and it's not legal I'll just tell you how to do it rather than provide files... and if you were talking to IGdood instead of me then I'll just shut up...

Requires female model actually in FOTS, and I have an odd feeling it'll be a unit pack DLC.

We'll see. THe agent models are one-piece models though, so I can't separate head from body....I think.

Hmm you know i think you may be right on the joshigun showing up as dlc. There is no way ca is unaware of them as you cant read anything about the aizu war without seeing reference to them and the byakkotai.

**IGdood** · April 07, 2012, 02:13 PM

Ahh..hah....AHAHAHAHAHAHA WHAT THE

DID I MAKE

**Captain Arrrgh!** · April 08, 2012, 07:54 PM

LOLU DESU!
IGdood, you're brilliant!
It looks great but the Johnny Reb cap looks kinda...out of place

.
I don't know anything about modding, but maybe using the cap-less head of the foreign agent would be better? Like your nodachi leader using the level up'ed agent model? It'd be cooler to have the 'Tom Cruise' leader without a kabuto anyway. Aside from that armour and colour choice look great!
Oh, btw, thanks for putting your DL's all in one thread, I didn't realize you'd put in so many unique armour sets! +rep and will DL tonight.
Thanks to you IGdood, I'm actually going to return to Shogun 2 and for the first time since getting FotS, at least for custom battle so I can try all your units.
GREAT choice of armour sets for them too.

Thanks for the kind words, but unfortunately I can't use only the head part from the campaign agent models. Thse come in a whole set. I can only take apart the heads of the marines....

**Captain Arrrgh!** · April 08, 2012, 11:01 PM

Hey, I had an idea, what about the nanban pirates? They're wearing those red flop hats, but it might look more at home on the samurai armour?

Or...maybe a samurai helmet could be put on him so it covers the cap?

Damn, if only there were mod tools to give modders a break.
Anyway, if not possible please put up what you have, and we'll DL it anyway. Some kind of Zeek from Arkansas goes to Japan story.

Oh, question: Do all your additons work with latest patch and FotS?
Looking forward to after work tonight.

**Captain Arrrgh!** · April 08, 2012, 08:03 PM

Here's one of the foreign agents, over on the right:

This particular fellow's bald, but I think the British agent that starts in Satsuma is hatless, with a full head of hair.
This is great that you even accomplished the above, as I didn't know if it was possible or not.
