Sakura, modification for Total War: Shogun 2

[Kagemusha]

Proudly presenting:



Sakura is a modification for Total War: Shogun 2 featured title from Sega and Creative assembly

The mod´s main aim is for historical accuracy and to create enhanced campaing and battle experience, while getting rid of fantasy elements.

Longer term goals include making as many factions playable as possible.

Possibly changes to the map

Incorporating more correct heraldry for each Clan.

Minor Tweaking here and there.

The modification is looking for possible modellers, skinners, coders and historians who can read Japanese as if we want to get really close to authenticy. English sources are already exhausted.

The aim is not for re making the game completely, but maximizing historical accuracy, while maintaining a geat totalwar experince.

If you want to join or support the project. Please do so here in this thread or private message yours truly.

Humbly,

Kagemusha

I'm on this, no doubt.
Looking forward to many heated history discussions and so forth ;)

Some changes I'd like to add to Shogun2:

-Give all spear-units longer spears.
-Fix all spear-units to always fight with spears.
-Remove all non-polearms melee units (with the possible exception of nodachi samurai, to be used as locked garrison units)
-Add special companies tied to clans/localities to supplement unit variety, rather than various fantasy-weapons.

-Make horse-models MUCH smaller.
-Make cavalry less decisive, only effective in flanking/charging home.
-Give cavalry the role as dragoons and scouts foremost, edit their stats to reflect this.
-Cross fingers and hope BAI is able to adopt.

-Reskin/model battlefield ninja, change their name.
-Give battlefield ninja different role, like snipers and such.

etc...
Well I guess we'll talk about all this stuff ;)

Are you considering increasing the amount of specialities in order to further diversify the provinces?

They have pure spear fighting animations from the Yari cav if you want to look at that.

I look forward to seeing, and perhaps, playing, what your artistic creativities produce! :)

How modifiable is S2TW? Do you know as of yet? Would it be as moddable as RTW and M2TW? If so I suppose the possibilites would be endless! I am kind of excited about this project you are working on!
