RAN no Jidai

[Seijitai]

To microhenry :

Sorry no Kensai... This unit was too powerful and no accurate at all... But you'll have some others powerful units like the No Dachi and so...

Also, no cannons, but a few different units with arquebuses...

For the ninjas... Yes ! There is a limitation on the number of different videos to show, but they'll be ingame...

To Vlad:

Correct, 86 provinces so 86 castles/cities... About the forts, we are looking on it... But a part of the forts are harcoded limitations... If we can do more than the RTW forts system, there will be some surprises... It will all depend of the limitations Kagemusha encounter while coding...

This looks like an very well done mod. I have been yearning for an updated Shogun:TW for a while and this looks excellent.

Is it nearly ready apart from the buildings?

[Seijitai]

Just a few units 3D models to do, some coding, units cards (400 out of 900 done, arghhhh) and so... So, close, NO, but well progressing ? DEFINITELY YES

[eldariasis]

hi from an old fan, I won't ask you the "when will it be ready?" question, 1 year and half i'm witing, 2 months more won't kill me...
But i wondered what you have got left to do... I fought it could be cool if one of you just posted a list of what's left. Just to know, so as we won't go wondering if it will be alive one day but just look at the percentages growing...

Lol, keep up the great work, We trust in you guys!

[Intrepid Adventurer]

Wouldn't the fortress issues be solved if you made Ran No Jidai for MTW2? ;D

[Gaddis]

...but that would mean a whole lot more work for us to do and, given that this project has been going for two years or something, I think really we just want to focus on getting a playable version out on BI before we consider anything else.

If I had a first born I would sacrifice him to play this. I absolutely cannot wait.

[Akeichi Mitsuhide]

Ive been looking at Battles of Asia and they have a sort of roster which says how many percent is ready of that faction. Could you do that sometime perhaps?

[Seijitai]

Difficult as there is more parameters than in BoA (I'm talking about their first release project) We concentrate on both battles and campaign map... So there is parameters like the map, traits, ancillaries, history, diplomacy, trade,... that we have to look into... But the mod is definitely progressing really well right now...

[Hayabusa Tenshin]

Seijitai you forget sounds.

[Eufarius]

Seijitai you forget sounds.

yes true.

[Seijitai]

Seijitai you forget sounds.

Of course, huge job and really important part of the mod too ! I wanna hear the "hey hey oh" battlecry !

[Graphic]

Are you going to include original music, the Shogun Total War music, or "other" (movies or something) for Ran No Jidai?

[Eufarius]

im not in the team but ive read that yes they will use the YO HO HO YO HOOOO!!!!musice part

[Dermeister]

BAD MAN!! lol BAD BAD MAN :P!

[Seijitai]

Hayabusa just joined us to take care of the musics/sounds and SFX ... Shogun sounds and music will be included... For other musics and so, we have to watch over the copyrights for these musics... If we can find a free of rights traditional music, like the music of a No Theater or so, maybe will we put it in game...

Sweet.

Shogun music is fine, I just hope the voices for the units will be new. The old Shogun ones are too lo-fi.

[Kazuma]

I think all the music and sounds of the original Shogun was awesome. Effects sounds could be polished to increase overall quality though.

yeah. Also are the commands, you know in the battle map going to be in Japanese?

[Sysyphe]

Hi, just for you to know. Many people are reading these thread as I did and never post.
But I can assure you that I am following this thread for more than a year. I am very glad to see that you are developping Shogun 2 total war, my favorite ones in total war eras regarding the background. The work you've done is huge and looks great, I hope that this mod will be out after the rugby world cup, when my wife left for a month, , so I will be able to play all night long without any shame. Or just a little...

Keep on this amazing work and domo aligato gosai machita...

[Seijitai]

yeah. Also are the commands, you know in the battle map going to be in Japanese?

Most of them, yes... We are also planning to have the soldiers shout "ROMA VICTOR" but with a japanese tone . No, seriously, most of the sounds present in Shogun will be present in RNJ...

@ Sysyphe : thanks for your comments... We'll do our best for it...

[Eufarius]

Oda Nobunaga"ROMA VICTOR"


hahaha that'd would be funny and thanks for answering my posts.


@ Sysyphe : welcome to the forums mate!

[aimlesswanderer]

The only complaint, if it can be called that, is that the Maeda Clan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maeda_clan) aren't a playable faction. Other than that, everything sounds GOOD!

[Akeichi Mitsuhide]

Well, if you look at historical lists of Oda officers, they were filled with Maeda members like Toshiie.

[Dexter]

RAN no Jidai - Thousands of brave samurai (and ashigaru) fighting for there great lord ...

Since my new pc does not run Shogun properly i`m forced to play on the old pc ... well when this mod comes out there will be a lot`s of red fields in Japan again .. on the new pc ... can`t wait

by the way thanx for making this mod !

[aimlesswanderer]

Well, if you look at historical lists of Oda officers, they were filled with Maeda members like Toshiie.

Yeah, they did get their start as Oda vassals, but they are my favourite clan, and they were even the second largest by income during the shogunate, when most of the previous prominent clans got cut down drastically.

[raikage666]

When is this mod going to be released?

[Vlad The Impaler]

When is this mod going to be released?

I think absolutley everybody from here, including modders, are curious about that
