@Rhya - I'm going to be honest, I haven't touched this in over 10 years. But I was late to playing Shogun 2. In Theory it should don't think any more factions were added to FotS after this.

Does this still work?

@Cpt -British bayonet mod is all

@CervicalSpear - Yea been a hell of a lot of other total wars since this one, still imo one of the better historical ones by far.
CptBritish  [author] 21 Oct, 2022 @ 8:45am 
@Snevgull - Thats strange the only thing that could really "break" it is any "big" mods that also change the spreadsheet I did. Any of the big rebalance mods will do that as they both overrule each other and both won't boot at best or crash at worse. What other mods did you use?
Snevgull 21 Oct, 2022 @ 3:57am 
@Cpt -British We made sure that we both had the exact same mods but it still said that we had incorrect versions

@Cpt -British Im not sure why but i keep thinking they still update the game, in turn making me not feel as old lol
CptBritish  [author] 20 Oct, 2022 @ 3:47pm 
@CervicalSpear the only "big" update that was done after I did this was the Otomo I believe (Don't quote me on that its been a few years...) so as far as i'm aware onto the Otomo's faction units shouldn't be in this mod.

Does this mod still work? looking to get back into shogun
CptBritish  [author] 18 May, 2022 @ 11:00am 
@ Snevriden You both need the mod for it to work, basically have the exact same mods active to make sure.
Snevgull 18 May, 2022 @ 9:55am 
This mod doesn't seem to work in MP?
CptBritish  [author] 12 Dec, 2020 @ 11:46am 
@ Bulkensy There can be conflicts if the two mods effect the same attribute. Anything that effects prices or upkeep will probably clash with this mod.
Bułkensy 12 Dec, 2020 @ 9:31am 
Is it possible to download the mod, manually? Asking 'cause mods that i subscribed to, don't seem to work.
CptBritish  [author] 17 Dec, 2019 @ 10:35am 
@trieticus - No. The changes are made on a spreadsheet, so without the custom entries on the spreadsheet they wouldn't work.

Best case scenario - My mod would work with the custom units but it would only apply to the base game units.

Worst case scenario - The custom units mod would cause conflict with my mod and vice versa.
nomadx 16 Dec, 2019 @ 4:25pm 
Would this work with custom unit packs?
CptBritish  [author] 16 Dec, 2019 @ 9:03am 
@bt9453 - Yes it affects the AI too.

It favours the player in the early game but makes the middle a little harder while balancing out again at the end.
bt9453 15 Dec, 2019 @ 3:07pm 
Does this affect AI?
Secuter 11 Mar, 2019 @ 1:45pm 
It would be awesome if you could split this into two mods - one for buildings and one for soldiers.
-Mess Maker- 5 Oct, 2018 @ 11:03am 
@Cpt-British Yes I started several new campains to test with and without other mods
CptBritish  [author] 5 Oct, 2018 @ 10:12am 
@-Mess Maker- Have you started a new campaign?
-Mess Maker- 4 Oct, 2018 @ 5:28pm 
Hi I cant seem to get the mod working no matter what I do in fots, other mods work and even the shogun 2 version of this mod works in that campain but I cant seem to get this one working.

I have also tried turning off all other mods with no luck.

Is there anything that needs to be done to activate this mod other then subscribing and enabling it via the mod manager launcher?
CenturionsofRome 23 Sep, 2018 @ 8:44pm 
Nope. Like I said, nothing that affects any units except for your mods.
CptBritish  [author] 23 Sep, 2018 @ 3:50pm 
That's weird usually it's all or nothing do you have any big overhaul mods in?
CenturionsofRome 23 Sep, 2018 @ 1:09pm 
I'm getting the building discounts, but not the unit or unit upkeep ones, and have no mods affecting any units.
CptBritish  [author] 14 Apr, 2018 @ 4:54am 
@BenDocB - Yes but I found it seems to benefit the player more as the AI can pop out stacks regardless of size and accurate wealth.

In the early game you should notice it more, mid game it balances out.
BenDocB 14 Apr, 2018 @ 3:06am 
does it affact ai?
BigDEnergy 29 Dec, 2017 @ 2:34pm 
its really good bro makes it much more balanced now but would you be able to make a mod on fall of teh samurai without upkeep and etc just for fun to screw around on it?
Phoenix Dragon 4 Jul, 2017 @ 10:11am 
@XIAOLIN have you "Enabeld" the mod?
Balkan 4 Jul, 2017 @ 7:07am 
No. It was the first mod I tried for this game
CptBritish  [author] 3 Jul, 2017 @ 9:33am 
@Xiaolin Are you using any other mods as well as this? anything that uses the same "Spreadsheet" as this one will cause it not to work.
Balkan 3 Jul, 2017 @ 8:36am 
not working man...
Phoenix Dragon 23 Aug, 2016 @ 7:55am 
@Cubictulip try playing on hard or legendary
Cubictulip 23 Aug, 2016 @ 6:28am 
no I am starting a new game as the tosa and I am nowhere near the money per turn that I was when this mod was working.
CptBritish  [author] 22 Aug, 2016 @ 2:05pm 
@Cubictulip You trying to us it with a save game?
Cubictulip 22 Aug, 2016 @ 12:57pm 
This is not working for me? I dont have any other mods installed so maybe a bug?
Phoenix Dragon 27 Jul, 2016 @ 6:45am 
☻/ This is Bob. Copy and paste him

Sagara Sousuke 6 May, 2016 @ 11:28pm 
Thank you, this fixes one of the biggest problems with Shogun 2
CptBritish  [author] 24 Nov, 2015 @ 12:31am 
@Kinglegbiter - I didn't want it to be too overpowered for the player :) After the games i've played I've found it pretty balanced this way.
ibeatmymeathapplyindastreet 23 Nov, 2015 @ 9:48pm 
if u do not want the ai to be afected u should make it for a single faction then it should work. this is a suggustion for anyone make mods hope it helps!
RoboticDiscoPuma 13 Jul, 2015 @ 2:28pm 
@Calico Jack Rackham - I do have a mod on that reduces the unit cost/upkeep. They usually work together for the most part but sudden change in income seems to be spontaneous. The fully upgraded farms being the only correlation.
CptBritish  [author] 13 Jul, 2015 @ 9:53am 
@RoboticDiscoPuma - Do you have any other mods running? The thing is I didn't change any profit margins. The only things I changed were Price and Upkeep.
RoboticDiscoPuma 12 Jul, 2015 @ 6:56pm 
I found that when I build fully upgraded farms that the income for the turn adds a "-", so I go from making 2000 koku to -2000 koku. Or 4000 koku down to -1000 koku. Actual income rate varying based on standing army size.
CptBritish  [author] 14 Apr, 2015 @ 2:09pm 
@hunglyong9x - Only thing I can think of is another mod is affecting the upkeep even if its one or two units it might be enough to stop it :)

(I'm pretty noobish with problem solving xD)
hungluong9x 14 Apr, 2015 @ 1:26pm 
the building price does go down but the unit upkeep stays the same for me. Do you know the reason why?

Anw, thank you for a great mod ;)
CptBritish  [author] 6 Apr, 2015 @ 2:14pm 
@Faroosh - Yes it does affect the AI BUT the AI get get much larger armies than they should be able to anyway. It evens the balance in the early game.
glubbaboo 6 Apr, 2015 @ 1:11pm 
Faroosh, It most likely does since Mods like "1 Turn Research Times" and "Everything Costs 1 Gold" do affect the AI.
Grocklemop 4 Apr, 2015 @ 3:20pm 
does ths affect ai?
CptBritish  [author] 2 Apr, 2015 @ 10:15am 
Thanks all can't believe people are still using it all this time xD
Gullives 2 Apr, 2015 @ 6:34am 
it's really great
