Any China or Japan mods for M2TW?

[imnothere]

of course. that is why 10(?) years later, fans still long for the release of shogun. but i suspect it will still be a year or two - after Empire Total War.

i don't really see the problem with Kensai and Battlefield Ninja - provided that the other models (*cough* *cough* Yari) are modelled properly. just your most humble Yari Ashigari (well, many of them anyway) are armed with a 10 foot long spears. Kensai are mostly armoured in the typical leather armor and ninja has no armor at all. Even the heavily armoured Romans have problem with Phalanx, I don't even want to speculate what kind of kebba that a properly aligned spearmen will turn those two units into.

also, the potential of Great War in Korean Invasions 1 and 2 hasnt been exploited yet. i am expecting that if they do, they could offer something even better - especially with Korean warships and other units. Chinese Empire (Ming) might also be interesting.

EDIT: yes, a plus will be getting rid of those magical/fantasy unit - elephant artillery for a start. elephant with muskets i dont have problem with.
