Request for Samurai mod

**Anar!on** · January 25, 2007, 03:27 PM

Hey guys,

I'd like to ask if anybody knows if there is any samurai mod for medieval 2 ?
I know about Ran no Jidai for Rome, but J can't see a release of this mod soon and i'd like to have samurais in this , J call it , "pre-industrial-area" around 1860 when they opened their borders to the world ! If anybody knows something about such a mod or even better , somebody who's working on, so please tell me ! I can't mod medieval myself , but i think the mongolian faction has some samurai-looking units , perhaps you could retexture them and give them new weapons and stuff like that !

Thanks in advance
Anar!on

ps: sry for mistakes , if there are any ^^
I'm a german ^^

I don't think it's possible to make new models for the game yet. They can be re-skinned but they'd look weird since none of the models look like samurais.

Once we can add new models maybe someone will make a Japanese mod.

I have a strange feeling that this era will be their expansion pack. Let us keep our fingers crossed.

I'd love it if the expansion were going to be about samurai, but I have a bad feeling they'll just redo Viking invasion, re-implementing sheild wall and beserkers. Maybe they'll do Shogun 2: Total War for the next one. No major work can start on a mod until(read:if) the model exporer is released. I'd like to work on one if it were started but I'm not really willing to bear the burden of being the leader of a mod team. If we could make new anims for the game there'd be opportunities for some amazing finisher/kill moves, based on real japanese martial arts/sword strokes.

I seriously doubt it as it would require completely new building models, campaign map models, campaign map, completely new unit models etc. Most likely they will go with something based on the Medieval time period for the expansion as it doesn't make sense to do basically a new game for the expansion.

But i am hoping for Asia/Shougn 2 TW for the next game.
