Shougun 2 Total Realism
Introduction: Shogun 2 Total Realism is a massive overhaul of Shougun 2 Total War. The aim of this mod consists of making this game more plausible/realistic. It will continue the work of Shogun 2 Realism+ and Rise of the Samurai Realism+ which were created by DaVinci, a veteran realism modder.
Features:
Military
- More realistic unit stats for weapons, armours, projectiles (without trails) and different effects of training (Inspired by RealCombat 2.0) -> longer battles
- Fatigue was swapped with a "cohesion" system as the AI is not capable of handling fatigue
- JaM's marvelous morale system from Empire Realism
- Many new and historically correct units
- More types of Pirates and they now act as light ambush infantry
- Souhei wear no sashimonos
- Regional special troops like Sendai's Sendai-dou Samurai and Kai's Akazonae
- Adjusted uniforms, banners and faction colours
- Socket bayonets for several modern Boshin troops (with yari animations though)
- Japanese unit names.
Campaign
- Dynamic unit caps (The more provinces with barracks you have, the more troops can be recruited)
- Removed tech tree for Genpei and Sengoku campaigns as targeted research didn't exist at that time
- More interesting building effects
- Fewer, but improved building chains with new effects, so the lowly 6 building slots won't hurt as much
- 24 turns per year and Sengoku campaign starts in 1570
- Implementation of DaVinci's CAI changes
Downloads: Download the mod from NextCloud
Installation Instructions:
- Download the files and place them in your Shougun 2 "data" folder (the mod is self-activating)
- If you don't want to use it, simply remove it from the data folder and put it somewhere else.
- Go to User/YourName/AppData/Roaming/The Creative Assembly/Shogun 2/ and delete the all folders besides maps, advisor_history and scripts to prevent strange errors from happening
ATTENTION FOR MP!
If you want to play MP custom battles or campaigns, you have to be careful. Steam might reset your avatar if it detects mods. Even without mods, you should personally backup your avatar to be on the safe side:
- Simply backup your avatar data which can be found in Steam/userdata/RandomNumber/34330
- If your Avatar gets deleted, overwrite it with your backup
Only works with deactivated SteamCloud, so remporarily deactivate it to perform the backup.
