Good to see you back in the thread :)

Yes, but at least Shimazu AI seems to play better now.
In my last trials with 1.87 (chosokabe test H/H), Oda survived somehow in the former Kiso homeland (iirc. that was within the first 10 turns or so, then i stopped to playtest).
Oda has no matter what a damn hard position as he is at war with Imagawa who benefits from the initial war between Tokugawa and Oda, and thus has always the potencial to roll over the according regions, if Oda AI makes the smallest mistake.

I just loaded up v1.88, which might have a potencial to help Oda once more for a better maintainance (also for Shimazu and Mori), i actually hope there is finally an improvement for these specific majors (although the campaign AI is just stupid).

Preview-info:
- Addition of a mid-late Sengoku period capable Yari Ashigaru (en par with the Oda faction-specific one), which needs 1 turn, probably recruitable from on castle-fortress or castle-castle tier (not sure now), and will replace the former usual Yari Ashigaru.
- Addition of faction-specific Naginata Ashigaru (for certain factions, reserved for some major factions).
- Addition of faction-specific Sword Ashigaru (for certain factions, reserved for some major factions).

Version 1.89 uploaded. See changelog.

This version contains the late Yari Ashigaru unit addition, as above announced.
Info addition - this added unit is not available for: Oda, Ikko-Ikki (because they have a faction-specific and capable Yari Ashigaru from the start).
Edit: ... and not for Shimazu and Mori (see post below).

Just a few questions to S2R+ players: Theme pike-wall animation

Do you use the pike-wall animation for Yari Ashigaru if you defend?
Does it help them in comparison to non-pike-wall?
What do you feel about the pretty high fatigue effect of that animation?
Does the AI apply that animation well?
... shall i remove that animation from the Yari Ashigaru? Edit: Question pulled back, i forget just that it is unfortunately not possible to simply remove codes, and in this case it is probably also not an option to replace the according codes. ... bad, because i see this is a disadvantage for the AI which applies it in defence (and deployment changes) and suffers from the high fatigue effect.
