It has more clans, original STW balance and skins (the Naginata unit in MI has a despicable skin that is an immitation of the Yari Sam. skin but the original one was as in the unit icon), and all the benefits of the MTW engine (princesses trade ships). MTW is very moddable and so you can take out the Kensai in that mod if so you wish.
Hello, I have been back to playing the original Shogun lately. I just beat the campaigns on expert and won with each clan. Ususally with my orginial starting Daimyo, in about 20 years average. I find the AI clans slow to build quailty armies of elite troops and not very agressive either, the AI just makes a bunch of stacks of samurai archers and yari ashigaru for me to annihilate.

Reading the campaign stories I see that the Shogun campaigns are moded with one starting province for each clan, altered building and unit cost, and other modifications that would make the game a lot more challenging.

I am interested in moding Shogun, but since I only have the original is this even possible?(I checked out some mods and most said they were for Shogun Warlords) Or am I better off moding my MTW/VI into Shougun Warlords , plus having the advantage of the MTW engine for better quailty battles?
Any opinions or advice on the best route to take for making more challenging campaigns for Shogun would be appreciated.
