[VENNONETES]

Good luck! and +rep!

[Himster]

Hurray. This will be the best mod ever. Everyone involved in the mod should get a pat on the back.

[Ygge]

Thanks for your support guys!

Including you, for your great encyclopedia brain.

Including you, for your great encyclopedia brain.

Oh please........ do go on.

But seriously I am something of an amateur at this history business, to go further we really do need to find someone with a more in-depth knowledge.

[Ygge]

Your "amateur" knowledge is very good. If we need someone then it would be someone that could 3D modelling or someone with great drawing skills.

[Himster]

What needs to be drawn?

[Ygge]

Building icons mostly but other stuff like new technology images would be awesome too.

Give me one to draw and we'll see what I can do.

[SODK]

This mod will be wicked

[Ygge]

Especially with your remake of Daimyos!

[GERMANICUS]

Just wanted to add my thanks for all your work in improving the ROTS campaign.
I enjoyed the vanilla campaign. But knew I would only play ot once...until the rise of YGGE!
You have added much value to the game.

Bravo!

[Fra70]

great idea ..something i wanted to do at the beginning . If i can suggest one thing that i think is very important for a Genpei mod is : the beauty of armors decorations !!! That totally lack in the original ROTS dlc
Armors of the time ( Yoroi ) were very precious and BEAUTIFULLY decorated with strong chinese influences ...having someone that retexture them will give an instant flavor to the game and will make the armies less monotonous and beautiful

Also Samurai should really be uber units and the only ones with a decent armors ( its said that the minamoto had only 8 great complete armors ) ...in ROTS are attendants that rule the field .

just my opinion of course

[Ygge]

Thank you guys!

Looks like we have the same opinions:

I have made so that every almost samurai unit have unique textures.

[Ygge]

All units are now done for version 1. Now there is only balancing and buildings left. Then I will release a Beta.

[Cellfish]

Hey, im just an average fellow who`s only using one mod... (Thx Fra!) and i will use this mod too because i know this is going to be really really awesome!! You could exchange information with Fra70 he has a really awesome mod outthere and it would be nice if this mod would reach the same awesomness level like his mod. But it looks already pretty cool so dont let me discourage you It IS going to be very good!

[Ygge]

Thank you! I am lurking around in the True Samurai thread sometimes and I must say that he and me have alot in common regarding balancing and stuff. So, this mod will be quite similar to his. Thanks to Fra for explaining how to implent custom rebels, I will surely use that in the mod!

[Hayabusa Sushi]

This looks really promising. There need to be more overhauls for Rise of the Samurai like this and Taiheiki!

[Cellfish]

Hows it going ?

[Ygge]

I only have some minor stuff left and a little testing. Beta should be up next week! I am looking into the possibilities of new playable factions, custom rebels and an area of recruitment system for the next version. However I have alot in school the next 3 weeks and won't be doing much modding then.
