FOTS Ronin Units

Description
Uploading another one of the small mods I made for myself.

This mod adds two new units to the game: Ronin Riflemen and Ronin Swordsmen.
These men have lost their status as samurai and now travel japan in search of work, and there's plenty of work to be had in these troubled times.

These units are lightly armoured but very deadly, they can also deploy outside the regular deployment zones making them perfect for striking the enemy in the flanks.

They should be recruitable from any of the "criminal"-chain buildings they frequent (Gambling den, Mahjong parlor and Yakuza hideout). Higher level buildings will make them start with more experience. As they are an elite unit they are limited to one per unit (but you can always use pack file manager to edit the units_table and change the cap to whatever you like. Be warned though: The AI uses them aswell).


Known issues:

-voicelines are probably not correct, I'm running the japanese voices mod and they call themselves matchlock ashigaru and katana samurai. Oh well!

-Might not be well balanced, haven't been able to test them very much yet.

Enjoy, and let me know if you have any issues. They should work with most mods but might have even worse balance if you use them with mods that generally alters unit stats etc.

If you liked this mod you could always check out some of my other mods.

love the units but sadly not compatible with darth mod. Maybe you could do an addon.

@sam.pidgeon: I would recommend getting PFM (PackFile Manager) or RPMF (Rusted PackFile Manager) and edit the mod according to your tastes, unit cap is in "Units_tables" and ammunition is in "Unit_Stats_Tables" :)

Could ammunition be increased by small amount and maybe same for unit cap?

Could you make a mod where the AI ​​only recruits shogunal and imperial line infantry units, cavalry with carbines, cannons and Gatling guns, in the navy the AI ​​also recruits English, French and US battleships and adds historically accurate bayonets for all factions?
