[Count Flip]

do you guys have an approximate release date?? next month? before Christmas?

[Kagemusha]

do you guys have an approximate release date?? next month? before Christmas?

Hi flipnation21!
No,sorry but we cant confirm a release date at this point. The team is but a few people and there are multiple factors that can cause delay on the release.The main issue is battlemap buildings. We dont have an active building modeller at the moment so that is one area where we are falling back at this point. But we are doing what we can.:bow:

[Issei Kamaitachi]

please let me get a piece of this game! im a HUGE fan of Eastern warafare, especially that of Japan. ive been very interested in Samurai, and was extatic when Shogun: Total War was released, it completely blew my mind. so far nothing has ever compared to the style of that game. im very happy to see you and your team taking this seriously is really getting into the historical aspect of the game making. it only makes me more eager to play this mod. where are you in game development, and have you released a beta or alpha? i will keep on browsing this forum (im new here), so get back at me, and all the fans waiting for this game! keep up the good work guys.

[Hôjô Ujimara]

I haven't checked this is ages, and still it has exceeded my expectations. Awesome, simply awesome guys.

Also, the Hojo are looking awesome ^_^.

[ByzantineKnight]

Is this for RTW or BI?

Amazing mod guys!!

[Kagemusha]

Is this for RTW or BI?

Amazing mod guys!!

Thanks ByzantineKnight!:2thumbsup: The Mod is for Bi.

[ByzantineKnight]

Gah!!! I don't have BI yet and I can't get it for another year :furious3:

Is there anyway that it would work with 1.5, Blue Lotus is for BI and 1.5 would it possibly work?

:help:

[Kagemusha]

Im afraid not.:shame: I would think there would be tons of CTD´s for a mod that uses both 1.6 and 1.5. But since i really havent much tested i could be talking complete crap. So i promise to find our if this is even remotely possible.:bow:

[Ruhan Zarathustra Erudinzadeh]

Im afraid not.:shame: I would think there would be tons of CTD´s for a mod that uses both 1.6 and 1.5. But since i really havent much tested i could be talking complete crap. So i promise to find our if this is even remotely possible.:bow:

It would, as I recall, require manually disabling swimming and shieldwall from all units that have it and disabling horde for those factions that have it. I believe you can enable nightfighting, loyalty, and the other assorted BI things in RTW under the 1.5 patch, so those could stay.

I'm basing this off my experience with other mods: Candalerius's Extended Realism mod, which is a 1.6 mod, for RTR Platinum, which is a 1.5 mod, requires you to manually take away can_swim and shiedwall from its units, it also requires delating the packs folder for the mod... not sure what's in there. The Extended Greek Mod, a 1.5 mod, has enabled at least loyalty... I believe it has nightfighting, but I do know that RTRPE has enabled nightfighting.

Religion I'm unsure of, however, because any mod that I play that has religion is a mod under the BI(1.6) code, not the RTW(1.5) code.

Hope that helps some, Kagemusha, it would still require a bit of work and two almost equally sized downloads for the Ran no Jidai team to do it... however, it's quite possible that a text walkthrough of how to change the files could do the trick as long as anyone who wanted to play Ran no Jidai in 1.5 was willing to do the gruntwork of text file editing themselves.

Yah, there is a CTD almost every turn until the mid game, but I don't mind quicksaving every turn if I can play this mod!

When i first looked at the post it wasn't working. I went back to it today and it seems to have resolved itself. Oh and thanks for the vote of convidence.:beam:

[LennStar]

Well, it looks really good, but in pic 2 the spears seem to be very long. And the swords in the last. 2m long? Good to see at the lying soldier: The sword is longer then he.

[Seijitai]

Lol, right but historically accurate... :beam:

The long spears are "Yari", of different sizes... The ones on the screenshots were made to avoid cavalry charge... Check here for more info : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yari

The long swords are "Nodachi", two hands swords also used mainly against cavalry... They were rarely used on battlefield... Check here for more info :

Hi Hi

first off those screens all look excellent, if its going to be as good as it looks I can wait just that bit longer:beam: the thing that makes Shogun great for me is the detail and atmosphere, so i have a few questions:

1- Unit cards at the bottom of the screen during battle- will they be re done?
2- The annoying advisers in the top left corner in battle- new voice acting or removed?
3- Weather- I loved the snow and the rain and the believably clear sky, but ive since found MTW and RTW to be too murky. Will you be doing anything in that area?
4- Landscape and stuff- i cant held noticing that the trees on those screens look very european- any chence you'll be doing maples and stuff?

5- 'Noooblle Looord! Excellentah newsah! Hyou have a Son!' Will we still have those messages?

Cheers and once again- Great work

ps- If the trees sound unnecessary perhaps someone could explain how i could make them myself? ive never made a mod before though :laugh4:

[Seijitai]

Hi, thank you for your comments... Here's a few answers :

1- Yes, they are currently being re-done, in the RNJ style! :laugh4:
2- By now, he is removed...
3- Not planned right now...
4-Don't know if we will use new trees... Will ask :beam:
5-There'll be some surprises for the sound...

[Gaddis]

With regards to the weather question: Snow and rain are already in RTW/BI. Personally I found the chances of them happening were too low and so I rarely had battles in poor weather. I think the weather thing just requires some tweaking of what's already there.:yes:

Didn't the Dragon of Oshuu loose an eye in childhood?:inquisitive: Otherwise magnificant.

[Kagemusha]

Didn't the Dragon of Oshuu loose an eye in childhood?:inquisitive: Otherwise magnificant.

Yes.We would have done that,but becouse in the skins the other side of the face mirrors the other,if we would have placed an eye patch to Masamune,the model would have infact eyepatch on both of his eyes,so we decided that the Date Daimyo should atleast have some vision.:smash:

[Gaddis]

Aha. That makes sense then I guess but having said that the only thing more kick-ass than one eyepatch would be two eyepatches.:laugh4:

[Taneda Santôka]

And the next featured Daimyo is Oda Nobunaga! The face is fierce and a bit from the video game, a bit from Freddy Mercury.
(And I dont want any video or comment about the sword! ;))

argh,did shimazu takahisa really wear such an old armor?in the sengoku period?
or will the game include more periods than the sengoku?
and,for the unique daimyos,we need alexander:tw or?

whatever,really really nice work! :2thumbsup: :yes: :beam:

[Gaddis]

Generals have specific models in BI so I imagine that although these are made to represent Daimyos they will actually feature as the Generals regardless of whether they are Daimyo or not. Of course this is just speculation...:yes:

Many Daimyos wore more older Yoroi and other types of armor that were less practicle but elaborate. Gaddis these models that had been made from the most famous Daimyos of the clan will represent the family member "generals".We have less elaborate models to represent the hireable retainer "generals.

[Gaddis]

I didn't realise that was possible with the BI system. Well that's good news I guess.:2thumbsup:

Trust me.It is very much possible.:yes:

[Ossie The Great]

Wow , I love the unit cards, and aboustly everything about this mod

[SnakeTaxi]

This is looking pretty sound now. I know this has been asked before but is this mod compatible with the Gold edition?
Taneda, I'm liking your little image descriptions:
'Ieyasu is ready to take over any obstacle!'
Its like a catwalk or something (probably)

[Ossie The Great]

I have the gold and have had no troubles with any mod as long as it is bi 1.6 or rtw 1.5 it should be fine i think

[Seijitai]

OK guys, a few new screenshots ! :beam:

That's all... :beam: But there is something hidden in this post... Some kind of tribute... :tongue: The first one to find it will receive a special screenshot in his private mailbox... Have a good search ! :2thumbsup:

[Seijitai]

And we have a winner ! Gaddis found the correct answer... The tribute was not on the pics, but on their name...

The second pic, named "Bandits vs Samurai Squadron" is also the title of a well-known samurai movie from director Hideo Gosha :2thumbsup:
Gaddis received his price... :beam:

[SnakeTaxi]

So I have Alexander and barbarian invasion too.
which will be better for running the Mod when it comes out?

[Gaddis]

I don't know for certain but I'd say that since we're making it for BI that it would be a safe bet to assume it'll work best with BI.:yes:

[Eufarius]

hey, has anybody heard from Prom?

[Revolting Friendship]

WTH awesome I've totally missed those general models! Either I need to be on both TWC and .ORG or you guys need to coordinate your postings better!

And those posts are like, mega-old too. Great work Taneda. I feel like making more textures for you to play with! :yes:

[Yun Dog]

Not that this needs to be said as its been said before

but in light of some recent posts

In less than 24 hours, you'll see the battle of Mikata-Ga-Hara, one of the most famous battles of Takeda Shingen versus Tokugawa Ieyasu...

https://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa121/RNJ_album/Mikata/boum.jpg

Stay tuned ! :2thumbsup:

[Akeichi Mitsuhide]

Wow i really gonna love this mod. Why? Cuz i LOVE mods about Japan ! And this is the best one ive seen so far. Keep it Up !

[Seijitai]

Mikata ga Hara, 1573

Tokugawa Ieyasu, who usually was careful and scrupulous, for unfathomable reasons acted rashly this time. He openly challenged Takeda Shingen by moving to Hamamatsu, a small and shabby but strategic castle too near to Kai's borderline.

Takeda Shingen commanding his troops
https://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa121/RNJ_album/Mikata/shing.jpg

Takeda Shingen brought 28,000 soldiers on the Mikata plains to 'punish' Tokugawa Ieyasu's 11,000. Some Tokugawa retainers were cursing Oda Nobunaga for sending no more than 3,000 soldiers. But Ieyasu decided, not only against the two Oda Captains but also against his own clansmen's objections, to meet Takeda Shingen face to face in battlefield.

At around four in the afternoon, the arquebusiers opened fire. Ieyasu may have expected his superior weaponry to defeat Shingen's tactical attempts. Shingen then let loose his famous cavalry charge; his horsemen raced towards the gunners, and overran them; some of the Tokugawa men stood firm, but many withdrew or were killed...

For Tokugawa Ieyasu and his bodyguards, things are going bad...
https://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa121/RNJ_album/Mikata/tokug.jpg

Really Bad !

Tokugawa's Teppo Samurais are trying to leave the battlefield
https://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa121/RNJ_album/Mikata/RNJtroue.jpg

Tokugawa Ieyasu's decision costed the two Oda Captains nearly all their men. Then Shingen withdrew his front line troops, offering them an opportunity to rest; a fresh set of horsemen initiated a new charge, led by Takeda Katsuyori and Obata Masamori. They were soon joined by the main body of the Takeda army, which drove their adversaries into full retreat.

These young samurais, mounted on fast horses, are skilled both in the sword and the bow
https://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa121/RNJ_album/Mikata/tokuteppoflee.jpg

Ieyasu then sought to re-engage the Takeda army, to free some of his trapped generals, but was persuaded to retreat. When he returned to the Hamamatsu fortress, he was reportedly accompanied by only five of his retainers; the battle was lost.

Engaged in fierce fights with the Takeda Yari cavalry, Tokugawa Ieyasu try to save his life

And finally leave the battlefield with his last retainers...
https://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa121/RNJ_album/Mikata/Tokugawa2.jpg

Nevertheless, he commanded that the fortress gates remain open, and that braziers be lit to guide his retreating army back to safety. Sakai Tadatsugu beat a large war drum, seeking to add encouragement to the returning men of a noble, courageous retreat. When the Takeda vanguard, led by Baba Nobuharu and Yamagata Masakage heard the drums, and saw the braziers and open gates, they assumed that Tokugawa was planning a trap, and so they stopped and made camp for the night. Had they pushed though, it could be argued that they might have taken the fortress.

In the night, a small band of Tokugawa warriors attacked the Takeda camp, forcing them into a ravine, where they lay helpless. The Takeda withdrew the following morning... The End :bow:

I prefer battle posts like this one, because its like the original story but then with pics. Short term, i luv it. Great Job !

[Seijitai]

Thanks ! :2thumbsup:

[Akeichi Mitsuhide]

Dont mention it ;)

[Kazuma]

Nice screenshots. The terrain could perhaps use more hills, some mountains and buildings such as a shrine.



And thanks to Taneda's "bloody backgrounds", here is the first final unit cards ! :)

https://img73.imageshack.us/img73/6880/rnjcopierx3.jpg

I like it except the bloody background. It gives the impression that the units are hurt and looks messy.

[Seijitai]

Question of feelings I guess... Some peoples like them, some not... But as I'm close to finish them (around 750 cards), it's a bit too late to change them :laugh4:

[Seijitai]

Now it's clearly too late to change them... As I just finished them ! 979 units cards :2thumbsup: . Here's a small family portrait ! :laugh4:

Hello

Just thought that this was place to put this post rather the start a "this looks brilliant" thread.

Looks great, it was my favourite TW game, very much looking forward to it.

Thank you for your hard work.

[Seijitai]

Thank you very much ! :beam:

[Arioh]

:thrasher: indeed a fine and awesome job

[rvg]

Great job. Can't wait for this mod to be finished.

[aimlesswanderer]

The unit cards look nice, but if they are that small (and with the bright red background), it might be hard to recognise, unless of course I spend plenty of time 'studying' them while playing the mod.

Go get EB.

[paullus]

nice unit cards...i'd love to see this released!

and yeah, go play EB, at least until RNJ comes out!

[HKagemusha]

Whew lotsa stuff in this thread. Still so much to sift through, but I got bogged down in the whole which sword is better argument. I am not going to add fuel to that fire, but just remember that in Japan the sword was the most basic weapon of warfare, and in many cases a last resort weapon. Samurai were originally known for their skill in horsemenship, archery, and most especially horse back archery. Thus comparing japanese to european swords is almost pointless. Katanas were practically archer daggers in Japan whereas Claymore's and the like were the primary weapons of their wielders

[HKagemusha]

O wow this thread is completely blowing my mind... and


well i guess it would be stupid NOT to have a ninja as the assassination unit, and to have him dressed like that, but it was always my understanding that the "ninja suit" is a myth perpetrated by kabuki theatre, and that there is nothing to suggest they engaged in assassination missions.

although if they were successful no one would know.....

uesegi kenshin is rumoured to have been killed by an assassin's blade thrust up from beneath him as he was using the toilet.

Attack you are the first one, outside of my dojo, that I have ever heard say that and I thank you for that soo much. You are correct, ninja were not assassins. If they were every involved in assassination missions (unlikely but possible), the enemy would never die by their hands but rather by the hands of a contract killer employed by the ninja.

However, it is nearly impossible to dispell nearly two centuries of international hype, supported by thousands of movies, dramatizations, stories, and urban legends. So I don't mind RNJ using Ninja's as assassins. Although if you really, really wanted to earn awesome points with me, all you have to do is change the name of the unit to something non-ninjaish. Afterall, the real hired killers did appear and operate much like ninja's did, just with completely different goals

It's a stratmap unit, used to "represent" an assassin, so when you look at the map, you know what character is what, a captain, a general, a spy or an assassin ; I guess a ninja, even if cliché, is better then RTW's ugly dude with a club.... All will hopefully agree! :2thumbsup:


:whip: Good to see you around, but try the EDIT button, on the bottom right of your messages, instead of permanent double/triple posting. :2thumbsup:

[HKagemusha]

Actually, I don't have an edit button yet, which is why I've been forced to double/triple post =/ I'm not sure why they designed the forums this way but apparently I have to be promoted to edit, and the promotions don't come automatically as far as I can tell

Nah we're not quite done with music, but at this moment we already have a member on it.

Garve is making his own Japanese Themed music to help us with the music for our mod, that combined with ShogunTW tracks will be the music for our mod, so yes we already had the Shogun tracks. But thanks for the offer :)
