Portuguese Faction Mod

Portuguese Faction Mod

This mod makes Portugal playable in the main campaign (replacing the Uesugi), gives them a unique starting position, technology tree and unit roster.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Portuguese faction mechanics:

The Portuguese are designed to play differently to the Japanese clans. Excluding the new unit roster, here is a brief list of what makes them unique:

-They start on the island of Goto.
-The lowest (ashigaru) tier units can only be recruited from regions with a port.
-There are no low tier missile units available.
-Portuguese units are in general slower but more resilient than their Japanese counterparts.

Compatibility:

I'm grateful to moshedz for beta testing the compatibility of this mod.



Please be aware, however, that you should start with both a navy and army on Goto. If you do not, one of the mods you are using is changing the scripting.lua file used to spawn these armies. You will still be able to play the mod, but are making the campaign much harder on yourself.

DOWNLOAD:

To run download the file from google drive, extract it to your Total War SHOGUN 2\data folder and select 'portugal_mod' in the mod manager. The zip file also contains a copy of sinfonica semplice to fix any sound bugs; once you have extracted the contents of the zip file to your data folder, run sinfonica and select the mod pack it generates along with the portugal mod pack in the mod manager.

List of intended changes and known issues:

Here is a list of things I intend to change or fix, sorted as to whether I know exactly how to make the change. I would greatly appreciate any help I can get with these!

Know how to fix:

-Change voice lines to Portuguese (There is a Portuguese voice line mod on steam using the voice lines from Napoleon, presuming this is ok with CA, I will try to implement something similar)
-Add in culture specific ancillaries/missions
-Add in new Portuguese buildings/building chains
-Add in new technologies
-New icons for technologies
-Remove European Traders faction (I am worried this might cause a crash when the black ship is supposed to appear)
-Add Portuguese specific agents

Don't know how to fix:

-Fix the graphical bug for the new technology 'Terco Formation' - this may require creating an icon for square_formation
-Change naming convention so that campaign units have both Portuguese first and last name
-Get rid of the advisor on campaign start
-Change the diplomatic positives and negatives from 'past grievances/friendships'
-Add in custom formations (e.g. Caracole)

Hi could you tell me how did you change the past grievance? I tried to change the attribute for alliance to 1500 points by creating a mod. However, my new protectorates also have -1600 in past grievances which completely negated my mod. How do I change this? Thx
