I did want to give You a Hand in developing the Mod, but I'm living in one of the Counties Gamefront does not support...

I gave Kubuso musketmen better melee stats. They're going to slaughter line infantry with their swords but they would be better off just shooting at samurai. I increased the unit sizes of the engineer units across the board to 160 to better represent their more static role than usual line infantry. Several units got bayonets for the slight anti-cav bonus that gives. I didn't really make any changes to expeditionary forces but that's mostly because I really can't think of anything. Better morale and movement maybe? They could have a bumped up unit size to 250 or 300. They're in a weird spot. I couldn't figure out how to get Marines and Landing Parties to not lose a turn when they disembark because that would give them a huge niche role no one else could fill. I increased the melee stats for Stormtroopers. They're now monsters at the close quarters combat scaling walls takes. Fast firing infantry should stay at 160. They're niche units you use to flank or use in reserve to break a charge or counter another line unit. Police in particular make for good melee troops too so they're not in a bad spot especially in siege defense (where police would be anyway).

[evilspleen1213]

-Good thinking with the melee boosts. I'll try out the stats you've been using if you'd like
-I like your thought process with the engineers...the only thing I'm iffy about is how huge the stake wall gets when you bump the unit size up. I'll ponder this
-I'll tweak Expeditionary a bit. And too bad about the disembarkment thing, I would definitely implement that.

Anyway guys, I've been away from this for a while, but I found some free time to update this to a Beta 2, in case anybody's interested.

There is now a bayonet version. Balance/pricing is hopefully now better/more interesting, and more in line with the other Darthmod units (but still not perfect obviously). Some units that were overlooked in the first release have been fixed, like No Dachi Kachi. Various (small) visual tweaks have been made, the file has been cleaned up a bit, etc. I can almost guarantee I messed SOMETHING up though, lol.

I also added two more units!

Updated files are in the Download section of the first post. Peace dudes

Hi man, have you ever thought to release a normal version of your mods with some of your units able to be used like a "base units add on" NOT ONLY in Darthmod but also combined with other mods (like Radious one for example)? it would be great. I've also really appreciated your unit icons: absolutely great!

[evilspleen1213]

Hey thanks! Making a version for the regular game or other mods is definitely something I've considered, the only thing is that it would be a pretty big undertaking. In fact the reason I still consider this a beta is that getting the balance right is so tough.

It would be nice though, so I haven't ruled it out!

[DramaBelli]

It would be great, also considering that yes, it should be other hard work taking time..but have you tried to consider this option just for a very selected elite of your best units? an example...take 6-8 units, the more realistic under historical profile and work on them, the units you best know and you think available in other mods without asking hard balancing work. Mine would be only a suggestion of course..(I don't know if there's a way similar to the one we have to use in changing units stats for napoleon and empire..if the way is similar, in shogun, we -the users- could easily adjust some parameters once realeased your sort of "universal pack"). I repeat, mine is an idea, would be more concrete saying you well, we could work together but I'm not a modder (otherwise I could test your units with radious mods once released). Anyway, for now, thanks for your reply man!

About the Republican Stormtroopers:
Shotguns haven't been invented yet during the Boshin War
I advise that you stick to historical accuracy and remove this unit

[Cathedralsquares]

Union and Confederate cavalry made extensive use of shotguns during the Civil war. Shotguns did exist at the same.

[NeonCrayon]

Actually nevermind, they were used around the time
Just not the pump-action shotguns that we're used to seeing now

[NeonCrayon]

Who are Republicans though?
Are they the new Rebels?

[Cathedralsquares]

Republicans are the independent option you can select before realm divide.

[NeonCrayon]

Could you make a version where all the modern units get bayonets from this mod?

[NeonCrayon]

And if it isn't too much of a hassle, ranked fire for all the gun units from this mod?

[evilspleen1213]

Came back to this mod and updated it a bit...pretty much overhauled it in some areas. Balance, visuals, prereqs, one of the units was totally redone, etc. Hopefully it works alright.

@NeonCrayon
Talk about a late reply lol sorry...bayonets are already included. Fire by Rank is cool, but I made this to blend in with regular Darthmod as it is, and I have so many versions of this floating around I already have a headache. Maybe I'll do it, but I encourage you (and anyone else) to dabble in Pack File Manager!
