Any China or Japan mods for M2TW?

[King Maker]

Hi

I would like to know if there is any China or Japan mods for M2TW. A Shogun mod would be cool

[Patricius]

There is a team that has released a Zhanguo mod - everything from soldiers to buildings in a Chinese style - and another covering similar grounds. The releases are not quite the full version as of yet. Blue Lotus is another. Twcenter is down. It's has more details on its mods boards.

Plus, with any luck we will be getting asia total war next considering it was next on the polls to empire total war. If oyu want proof, head over to the total war forums. Who says CA dont listen to the commumity? Noone. thats who, noone.

not sure about China. but Samurai would be cool. Will be good if they have the actual Yari/spear that is 10-20 foot rather than the spears in Shogun.

Yep revisiting older releases on the newer engines would be pretty cool

Plenty of people have damned this idea, but I still maintain that Shogun should definitely be redone on M2TW engine. The idea of several, roughly equal warlods, of whom each has a unique advantage, but never crushing superiority (at the start at least) appeals to me a lot more than leading a whole country to war, and I reckon it suits the whole concept of TW a lot better too, especially given recruitment requirements, economy and army size. No one can convince me that France's entire armed forces in 1215 (my most recent campaign) are less than 10000 men, whereas it's more than acceptable on a smaller, feudal scale.

Also, one nation = similar armies and return to simple rock + paper + scissor balance that made shogun and MTW such a boon on tactical level. I am adamant that unit variety in Shogun (with possible exception of battlefield ninjas and kensai) was just rich enough to make for a serious tactical challenge on a battlefield.
