I'm wondering if there is a way to mix and match units from Mongol and Japanese forces.

I'm a Chinese military history buff and would like to construct armies in that style. Specifically...light cavalry, archers, guardsmen, crossbows, bombers, musketeers, etc.

Is there any way to build a completely custom army?

Thanks!

From my days in the Colombian rainforest as a KGB operative, I can tell you with some certainty...

There are two kinds of soldiers in the world: snipers and targets.

While granting this point for the moment, let me be more specific...

Within STW/MI, is there a way to mix units in preparation for a "Custom Battle?"

Thanks!

No. You can be Mongol or Jap. That is it.

As far as 'modding' to get some effects of this, like using muskets against mongols, you'd have to ask the wise men in the mods forum...

Play Mongol invasion campaign as Hojo or down load Japan Darkest Day (JDD, it is a mod campaign) and play as any Japan clan (prefer Hojo). Use emisaries to bribe Mongol army. That is the only way and it is fun.

Gah! The other way, is to do like myself and Tera have done.

Make a new SP custom campaign and make it Sengoku Jidai Era.

Then one clan has a large Mongol mercenary army.


Maybe someone should make a custom campaign where all the clans have one province each with 2 full armies. Then there is a ronin province in the middle with nothing/no-one in it.

Surrounding the clans provinces are all roning provinces, with full armies.

The clans will all try to take the middle province first turn and a massive battle will ensue, where each clan will in the end be able to control 32 units(routed units get replaced by reinforcements)

Gah! Maybe I will make this campaign. Would be very interesting to do.
