    Icon2 Master Of Strategy Sengoku (MoSS) (2019/20/03)


    Welcome to the Master Of Strategy Sengoku (MoSS)

    Moss Overhaul for the Shogun 2 Total War Sengoku Jidai campaign is a mod that heavily focus on variety. Do not you feel the game lacks of options and just a few of them are worthy? Do you feel the campaign is to short?. Then you will love this mod!
    New Clans


    Features

    Sorry Shot You Map Japan Based: This gives a great base for a long campaigns.
    Buildings, lots of them: This new build is based on towns, this unique building for Sengoku works as the FOTS one. So castles are no longer the limit to how many free slots you have.

    Units, and a lot: How much units? Well I have no idea to be honest, Just check this pic to get and idea. This are not all of them!

    Seassons: Did not the game has this? Yeah, but now you have specific effects for them! And they are really important!

    Reworked AI:
    Well the AI is not only trying to kill you now, they build more and you can even have them as ally which is nice.

    Totally rebalanced economy:
    The new building system with a ridicullous amount of them is not just for fun, they actually give more options, all of them important. Synergies are very very important now. Also not all provinces can become a metropolis, decitions are hard, very hard. Be aware of the tax effects, food, adminsitration costs and growth!!

    Totally rebalanced battle stats:
    Oh yeah a battle!!!!! 10 minutes loading... 1 minute and it's over .. Yey???.. Well say no more, tha battle stats make battle longer, and not even that! Unit balance is less rock papper sissors. All you can carry into battle is usefull on its own way and you will have to use them!! Go full ashigaru? Well you will have no tactical units .. Go full samurai? You will be overrun by ashigarus!! No arty? Good luck waiting 8 turns for a siege surrender!. All is important! ALL.

    New unrest system: People used to become christian or ikko.. Now they also can become angry if your province goes into crime and inequality. Be aware of the taxes and buildings!!

    New resources: Yeah, if it was hard for you to get all of them now add some more to the list.

    New tech tree: New buildings, new units, this was necessary.
    Tech

    Historical Locations!!!! One of the coolest things of this mod is the amount of historical locations this include!!!

    Historical Castles!!!! Did you think that they were just pictures??? No!! This include Nagashima Castle, Osaka Castle, Himeji Castle,Edo Castle and More (I made this with half of the origical size, otherwise it would use the whole battle map! Even though you need a NASA computer to run it, so a light version is also included).
    Edo


    FAQ
    Why i can only build a building once?
    Level one of every chain can be present once clan-wide. Upgrade the building right away to make it available again.

    I see a resource in the diplomacy panel and in the trade routes. Yet i do not have it. Why?
    The game is hardcoded and I cannot change what it displays. I'm sorry for that.

The old one (indicated by *) will die at some point and wont be able to be recruited.
    WHAT I REALLY NEED!! is you to report any bug as i mass edited this in a rush so i might have forgot somthing.


    Changes V44

    I reduced the resources required for some buildings and also improved AI.
    -Rebuilt regions borders. Now you get influence and trade only for true neighbours. This will make easier to understand were you get extra unrest. Also this fix issues with trade routes.

    Overall those are the changes.

    It is possible and quite easy to implement. Here's an example:
    1. Effects: create a new effect called unit_cap_teppo_samurai, choose an appropriate icon and set the priority to anything above 0.
    2. Effect_bonus_value_unit_record_junction: add unit_cap_teppo_samurai, set bonus_value_id to "unit_cap" and choose the teppo samurai as "unit_record_key".
    3. Building_factionwide_effects: now you can use your dynamic unit cap as building effect. Note that units with synamic unit caps need an absolute unit cap of 1 in units_table.

    Possible feature: Dynamic cap. Not yet tested but i think that it's possible to set recruiment to cap to each new building you make
    So what you want is using different building as dynamic unit cap limiter.Check my RGM mod to compare, what you seek its already done, you can also use shogun 2 realism made by Destin since he also implement dynamic unit cap in building, i know what your goal is, so if you build 3 dojo samurai lvl 1 you get 3 katana samurai, if you upgarde it to level 2 dojo you get 3 heavy samurai, so if we build 1 archer dojo,lvl 3 naginata dojo, lvl 2 samurai dojo, we can get different maximum and quality army you can field.

    Just for you know, since we already cut the ability of ai to spam, that mean ai will react differently since you already cut his wing, blindly use other people CAI will resulting strange behaviour for ai (since when they make it, dynamic unit cap its still not exist only artifical made by limiting it into 10 or 20 numbers, you cant blame them too, so you also need to fix its so ai will proper expand.

    Hey the art work is quite good especialy ninja using teppo

    Ah, once upon a time I planned to do something like this..but then I got lazy, just like the usual. I did made a Building Pack for FoTS though.

    My Suggestions:
    -Clan Control: Give some small bonus for ashigarus, tax, repression and allow metsuke
    This is Clan Internals, so how about Inter-Clan Branch, in the form of Audience Chambers or Legendary Chanoyu Tea Rooms. A Clan can only build one. It can provide Diplomacy and Daimyo Honor Bonuses.

    -Construction Chain: This is Sekigahara Campaign Rip-off actually; Provides Construction Time and Cost Reductions.

    Dont forget the more depth and harder some unit to get recruit for human, its 3x harder for Ai to recruit it, for example i set yari monk only enable by building temple + barrack, i do notice most ai dont even build barack,even they build barrack the city slot is full or even they did make temple + barrack its only 1-3 clan did manage it eventualy.Since ai is not human, ai will continue to upgrade, not waiting till they reseach certain technology, for simple is, the ai actualy dont have plan what province will be focused building, they just used from CAI building priorities,and what enable for them, while there is remedy for this, by removing all building required technology.Still if someone want the vanilla style that need technology to unlock building,then the best option is resimple the recruitment unit method,so the ai actualy can recruit it.

    Yeah i'm aware about that .. I'll try to make simple path, if not it will be almost imposible for the ai to make them .. maybe using the dinamic cap (one building give the cap and other the recruitment)

  13. #13

    Default Re: Total Strategy Mod

    Katana ashigaru tier one .. some kind of ''obligated conscription'' soldier .. anyways those are the less interesting units. Samurais are done, but monks, heroes and special not. Also the units have no balance yet and buldings even less

    Well Weierstrass, have you see the mettle blade concept who used province,as region requirement ? combined with dynamic units caps, its will make very very evolved dynamic recruitment , shogun 2 mods ever know, the problem is it will require quite massive editing, for example if there is 137 province, then for just 1 units yari ashigaru you will need make 137 new uits stats,unit table,and dynamic caps, back there i try to make it, but surrender since i use to many unit, if there is 50 unit then , 50 x 137=6850, just for one table, not to mention cdir,unit quality, etc etc. This job is require a lot energy to finish it. But if you can put it into your mods, then i must say salute for your effort Sir, No one able to do this not because they dont know but because they dont think have the guts to see it done (including me)

    hmm, but why would i use the 2 systems? I mean, which would be the benefit? If i have the building in any province and that province i'll be able to recruit that unit. If i have the building or the province not... but in dinamic cap if you have the building it's okay. So you may think that it's different, but if values are correctly managed would be the same with a lot of less work

    less work is just use building, more work is just to make some realism, so if the troop create from Owari province, for example Owari Bow Ashigaru, the difference only its name, well if you want to tweak the stats also to make some difference, well its just my suggestion, dont take it to seriously, since the amount of work editing db is HUGE
