Jasper's Unit Pack 1

Description
This mod adds five new Infantry units for the Shogun 2 Campaign, with unique stats, usage, and custom made unit cards!

REQUIRES VUS 1.3 MOD: DOWNLOAD HERE
No, you don't have to run Shogun 2 with it, just have the mod pack in your data folder.

While playing Shogun 2, I felt that some roles were not really met by the current game units. There was a lack of fast, light infantry units, filling the roles of flanking masses of enemy units. There was a lack of skrimish type units, with the bow and the matchlock. There was a lack of an infantry unit in which it keeps public order, assisting filling that niche role where it keeps a settlement-province from rebelling. This mod fills in these particular roles, adding more to gameplay in battles and in the campaign. The Kachi units in particular are faster and less armoured, compared to their regular Samurai ranks. However, this makes them weak against arrow fire. The Metsuke police force are used to keep public order, cracking down on upstart of rebellions. If forced into battle, with their Banzai charge they effectively killing their enemy who dares challenge the authority of their lord.

I think so it's been a long time since I played this game.

Compatable with darthmod?

I was mistaken lol yours works perfectly and I am sorry about that, I seem to be having trouble figuring it out.
The Dark Ranger 19 Sep, 2017 @ 9:03pm 
I am sending you a friend request so we can go over my mod list and so on together, plus I know a thing or two about Japanese history and at the very least we could have a nice conversation.

I actually realized that I'm illiterate, and that you need the VUS mod for this, I probably should have deleted that comment. Thank you for the response though!

@The Dark Ranger

I remember that issue. I had that several times when modding or adding more units in. Usually is something you installed along side with this mod, most certainly unit mods.

Did you install any other unit mods instead of mine?

@ChefGuevara

Sadly no. I haven't modded for Shogun 2 for the longest time. I opt'd out of Shogun 2 for a long while now, no clue if I still have my modding tools to edit units and such.

I have a bug where when I hover over the unit card (maybe the unit too I havent tried) my screen goes dark until I move the mouse as well as the fact that there is no information on the unit cards.

Would you consider Making an upgraded version of the Police Force for Tokugawa?

nea. is this for vanilla shogun? or all expansions? also be so cool if you make samurai units for fall of the samurai. seems there isnt any there but kachi and hero (one horse man )
