Thanks for all the images IGdood. Can you post the Mongol roster when it's released.

No problem! I wonder if they're saving the Mongolian roster or the Joseon roster for last.... I too am interested in post-15th century Mongolian armies. I wonder if there was any major change? Did they even adopt firearms?

Today's faction roster preview is that of the Tokugawa Shogunate. There's plenty of familiar assets here.

Yes the Mongols did adopt firearms. By the 1700s their main weapon was the musket and they seem to have brought the bows to second place. But this was mostly in the mountainous areas and Xinjiang where they had cities and forts to shoot from. Truth is being dependent on muskets on the steppe is a dangerous.

The Mongols would use matchlocks (which they acquired through trade from India, the Ottomans and even Russia) and Chinese hand cannons and hand mortar type things from behind defensive positions. Without these defensive positions they would be easily overrun by massed horse archers in a war on the open steppe. Actually when Hongwu besieged Dadu (Beijing) the Mongols had tonnes of artillery pieces which were then captured by the Ming. Also lots of their powder factories and gun foundries.

Thank you very much Lord Nobunaga!

There was no new faction roster preview today but they put out a teaser which I uploaded to youtube.

I apologize in advance if it seems like I'm promoting their mod in the Morning Sun thread, but rest assured I will move all these posts to their own thread when they release later in October and I translate the vital parts into English.

Might want to edit that. This isn't 4chan.

I left you a rep notification saying why. Hope you saw it.

===============================================================================

Anyway, Mongol Roster has been posted.

Dismounted Mongolian Heavy Lancers

Tribal Spearmen

Mongolian Heavy Cavalry Archers

I'm actually not sure what 胡赤突 means. Google didn't yield anything, so it's possible it's a Chinese rendition of a Mongolian term.

Mongolian Steppe Swordsmen

Mongolian Steppe Lancers

Mongolian Archers

Mongolian Dismounted Heavy Archers

Mongolian Tribesmen

Mongolian Heavy Cavalry

Kheshigs (Mongolian Bodyguard), looks identical to the heavy cavalry unit above.

Mongols have their own settlements now too!

Their roster is pretty limited....

I really hope that's some sort of cultural misunderstanding, but you might have some explaining to do. Even as an ordinary sentence I can't tell what you mean.

Anyway IGdood, thanks for these previews. I have some questions about your views on the Ming roster, but I'll ask them tomorrow, I'm off to bed.

It's an in-joke back when I was on 4chan. I left some time ago.

No problem, I'm not that well-versed with history but feel free to ask questions.

If it's about the stats of the units, I don't think they're balanced yet.

Hello there.

My internet here is very slow but I've uploaded some videos.

Also the full release came out 2 days ago. When I have time from classes (which is almost never) I will try to translate unit entries and building names so English speakers can at least play the game. Most likely you will have to wait until December when I get a mere 3 weeks of vacation.

However, if you would like to play an untranslated version let me know. I'll try to upload a mega link or something...with againster's permission of course.

I will also be posting some more of the finalized rosters for each of the factions.

**IGdood** · October 27, 2014, 06:29 AM

The public beta is out, and unfortunately I've tried to upload it but my internet connection kept timing out. I'll keep trying.

If you're feeling adventurous you can just download from their website, but you need to make an account and obtain some of their in-forum currency to see certain posts. You can get in-forum currency by posting, logging in daily, or just paying $3 USD on Paypal.

Anyway here is the Joseon Roster. They have the best archers out of all the factions, but overall their faction's units have below average melee capabilities and heavy infantry.

I didn't have time to translate the unit descriptions, sorry.

This is outside the mod's timeframe but if the mod decides to taake things a step further you may include these guys.

They are the army of Li ZiCheng, the man who toppled the Ming during its weakest moment and became Emperor for almost less than a year as ruler of the Shun Dynasty. His army consisted of ex-Ming troops and a lot of peasant rebels and was known as the Chuang (Dashing, Bursting, Charging) Army.

Okay, last post.

These are just some miscellaneous units that weren't shown in the previews. Some of them are labeled as mercenary.

All icon graphics are dead links. Could you (or someone) reupload it? Or say where I can found it. I found only small sizes like this:

But I remember that here were bigger versions, for example:

**guardianknot** · September 07, 2016, 03:01 PM

Is there a chance that we see some updated translations of these chinese mods? they are really interesting.

**IGdood** · June 08, 2017, 04:16 PM

The links from DOMOD may be dead and the unit icons no longer exist but here's some screens that are related to what I've posted in this thread.
