Don't bother. Just create a new folder and copy the entire contents of the RTW folder into it. Should work then.

**Meneldil** · 12-04-2004, 20:21

Well, they are the fearsome Basket Ronins.

I've been watching this mod since it began, and just want to add something, no mean to be a synical bastard but could you maybe change the shishi rider's face or atleast eyes to maybe not look so cartoony? Because everything in the game has this "real" look to it, and the shishi riders just kinda take it out of context.

Thanks,
THE MIGHT JUNKMONK LIVES ON

Beautiful job hoggy. Nice work.

**Ferocious_Imbecile** · 12-11-2004, 03:12

Hoggy, those horses you've redesigned for your heavy cavalry are superb. I'm in awe...

I'm bored with RTW right now, but I can't wait for your mod.

Actually, I can give you all of them:

Here they are in kango (Japanese for Chinese) :)

Evil: Yiao
Dead: Shi
Big: Da
Red: Hong
Blue: Lan
Jade: Yui
Yellow: Huang
Demon: Muo
Stormy: Bao
Ice: bing
white: bai

Hills: no real word for this
castle: chen
fort: diao bao
Meadows: no direct translation
pass: dao
tree: shu
town: Zhen
City: Chen (there were no castles, only walled cities, thus the two words are synomous)
Port: gang

Alright, I have to spill it... in my honest opinion, of the tree East Asian languages (Korean, Japanese. Chinese) Chinese is the worst suited for Romanization. In fact, it is impossible to do it with even a decent degree of accuracy. My suggestion is that for the Chinese place names, use English. The Japanese place names work well though. Using Roman letters to simulate Japanese prounciation works superbly well (using Japanese to simulate English works horribly).

Hope this helps!

Oh yeah, one request, can you make the samurai archer wear the same armor as the melee samurai cavalry? It's a bit more accurate that way if nothing else.

**Zanderpants** · 12-13-2004, 02:13

Alright Hoggy, sounds good, thanks. I'd find names, but it looks like I returned a bit late! If there's any other things you might need info on, feel free.

BAD NEWS!!!! HOGGY and his mod have been kidnapped by Creative Assembly and the Total War team! His mod is making them look bad and they want it for the next game in their series.

Just kidding! Although If I was in charge over there Hoggy would be working for me full time now.
Hoggy, every post you make just looks better and better, The dragon riders are just too cool, even if they were the weakest units in the game I would make a ton of them just so i could see them in action all the time. Even the standard army with those long swords look great. And the giant demons, awsome! I wish i could help out but i have no design or computer talent. Where can i donate to the feed Hoggy fund?
