Ran No Jidai:(Mod for RTW) Screenshots

*drools*

just what i always wanted: Shogun Total War with RTW graphics.

if you need any help just ask. i'm inexperienced at modding though.
otherwise i know lots about ninjas/shinobis/ninbujin/rappa/whatever and i would gladly be here to inform you of any historical information about them, although i suspect they wont feature too heavily in the game.

although it looks great, the assassin unit i seen in the screenshots looks very hollywood. and if you're going for complete historical accuracy RTR style i suggest not using ninjas for assassin units.

keep up the good work!

RTR is not complete accuracy style I am afraid , so is not EB , compromises and guesses are very present ..... about the ninja figure I can tell u that is definetly historical , is the classic dark suit .... representative and effective...

attack is right...Ninjas more generally wore blue on stealth missions ;)

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.

The reason we dressed up the Ninja in the "classical" Ninja costum,was that its a strategy map unit.So its more like a symbol. If we had dressed it up to look like just basicly any other individual in the game like a Ninja would have been in reality mostly.I guess we would have got feedback saying whats that unit?~;)

makes sense

Hey Kagemuscha, (and others)

I dislike those green animations... what are they for? :dizzy2: If it's not too hard or too much work I would gently ask you to delete them... - of course, in case the team and the fans agree..:2thumbsup:

If it's the green arrows you're referring to then they come as standard in Rome Total War. They can be easily switched on or off in the preferences.txt file.

ok then it's all ok ~:)

Someday when the mod's finished simple instructions on how to edit such things out should be on the website ~;)

Today Tomte of Doom went to skinning frenzy and produced 19 new variations of Yumi Ashigaru in about 2 and half hours.:2thumbsup: So now we have all the necessary skins for that unit.Soon to follow more.Here are couple random skins.Sorry about the crappy graphics card:

OMG stop teasing and release this already!!!

Like me!
But first, what's about a Beta-release of one or more factions.
For example one or two historical battles like Sekigahara or Nagashino^^

And another thing I noticed: Do you have already unit-cards or banners?

So today Tomte of Doom played this test skirmish with teppõ ashigaru, and some screens were captured.

The whole thing opened up nicely with a generous exchange of lead from both sides. His Mõri ashigaru were looking particularly snassy in their new armour, and out of practicality they decided to leave their rations with the baggage train and only carry ammunition, powder and ramrods instead:

After a while he got bored with putting the AI to shame with their inferior lineup so Tomte decided to go up close and personal. However, the enemy general ruined his plans of fighting down a valiant last stand by making an embarrassing attempt to fall back, clearly too late as his own unit got caught in the thick, and the other two set routing:

By the time the general had gotten his fill of melee, his other two regiments had reconsidered their possition on running like schoolgirls and turned about to cover their reluctant leader's retreat. From the highgrounds they then went on with a desperate exchange of fire with Tomtes regrouping troops:

At this point the enemy, more specifically Mogami were hopelessly decimated and already stood no chance of winning. But rather than taking the golden oppertunity and make a timely withdrawal, their general sees a need to waste further lives to a lost cause, committing his own unit to a last attempt to turn the tide. However, his disorganized rabble stands no chance against Tomtes well oiled execution squads:

A few volleys later, the Mogami has secured themselves the kind of loss that only RTW AI can produce. Fleeing for their dear lives, Kenshin, who has acted as their commanding officer express silent displeasure over his unmotivated and underrepresented involvement in the past events:

Is that the dismounted Daimyo or a Samurai Officer with golden cloak??... I wish I could figure out by myself with a nice beta version... Impatience is rising!

:juggle2: ---:wall: ---:dizzy2:

It could be a "captain". RTW automatically adds a captain to one of your units when you don't have a proper general to lead the army.

Today i was fixing the custom battle locations,here are some screenshots.Thanks to Prome we now have these amazing grass textures! :thumbsup:

Here are couple custom battle locations:
