Place mod first within your load order to get the mod to work. Will not affect unique Otomo units.

Not working as of 2023

not work bruh

Incompatible game version occurs because of mod load order in the user.script.txt file found in the following directory. Whoever is hosting should copy their file data (it's not very large at all) and send it to anyone who is joining. It may take a restart or two of the game to lock in the load order but it does resolve the issue.

%appdata%\The Creative Assembly\Shogun2\scripts

@wroter - Are you using any other mods?

Been running into an issue, when trying to host a campaign for coop my buddy gets an error message saying incompatible game version. We are running the same mods (this and the expanded pack). I was just wondering if it's something on my end or not. Besides that, I'm having a great time with this mod (I really like having a ton of armies roaming around).

@ Azza_asa - it should do, the only faction that wasn't covered was the Otomo Units and any unique buildings they have.

Does it still work?

cheese nibba

Damn unfortunately it does not work with Master of Strategy...

@Xhilusius - Yea I did this mod before Otomo were actually available on the database they "Should" be the only unique units that aren't affected though and all Otomo's usual units should be fine. Sadly when i've tried to update the file since then it would crash my Shogun. No doubt inexperience on my part but still. Sorry for the inconvenience.

@Fantomaser - Do you have any other mods that will affect the upkeep and price stat? Big rework mods usually do this so it might be clashing, this mod is made for people like me who want the base game experience with "better" - depending on your viewpoint - pricing.

@topmag - Don't want to tell you how to play the game but unless you are playing on Legendary then you should be outnumbering the AI in the early game while using this mod, with the the game balancing out in the mid to late game. If you aren't well, I don't know your Total War experience but that isn't what i've found with any of the factions I played with this mod.

Imported Matchlock arent being reduced sadly(Otomo)

not working

Sorry, but this mod makes the game unplayable. I started out as Takeda, and before I managed to get a 20 unit army (and I played the best way possibly without engaing in fighting, etc), Hojo was marching at my doorstep with 2 full (20 units) armies and a 3rd army of 10 units. Can't endorse this.

So we need the soundbug fix right?

well we had the expanded mod and that worked so we looked for some more but then we couldnt continu online but that was probably because we didnt start a new game now that i think of it.

@Olifantvis - If both of you have it I don't see why it shouldn't?

does it work on multiplayer campaign?

@LatinvianJoint - There is a seperate mod for FOTS and it should work with mods that don't affect the Units at all like prices etc.

So this works for FOTS also right? If, so, is it also mod compaitable?

@Ioneepj - Not a problem, glad you like it :)

@autor --- actually nevermind - i find it bit more challenging and more fun as it is for me, 50% less for army upkeep is great boost for my economy so i dont care about building prices anymore ... so thanx a lot for this - my favourite mod so far ;)

@Ioneepj hmm weird as hell the turn time "might" be affecting it :( no idea though, that as far as i'm aware is on a different spreadsheet.

@autor ... weird, now i have only units cost reduced, buldings remain the same as in vanilla ... list of mods im using: 12 turns per year, 3skill points per level - general/agents, camera zoom, diplomacy tweeks, tech-reduce mod (i dont have feeling this working - maybe here is the conflict? - gonna try with/without, increasead farm food - did try with/without - no change ...

@Ioneepj - Np m8 hope it works out for you :)

@autor ... thanx mate for quick response :)

@ioneepj - Yea the recruiting turn and prices are on the same part of the spreadsheet so that will be affecting it. Try it without the recruit time mod and see if it works.

@Cpt-British ... im trying to use this mod for shogun2 main campaign ... would like to play as Shimazu, but i dont see any change in prices ... lets say first upgrade for roads are still the same (950) etc ... im not using any other cost reduction mods ... only few reducing recruting turns or 12 turns per year and so on ... more abilitty points per upgrade generals and agents ... so no idea whats wrong :/ ... thx in advice

@author yea it turns out it was this mod called "make ships sinkable again" where instead of naval battles ending up with a bunch of battered ships it would actually sink em if you won and vice versa if you lost, if you autobattled. i talked too the guy who made it and said it must be conflicting with another mod and it turns out it was this one...:( yours was cooler tho

@HaVoC - My mod doesn't actually remove or add anything so I'm at a loss myself! Sorry :(

ive subcribed and now i have no ships.....i also did a fw others but im trying too find out which made no ships for anyone the whole game

@Warhog that is an "Old" as hell problem I've had it once but it was before I modded myself. A quick Google search is the best idea. I can't help sorry! :(

@Cpt-British Right, well it worked for me and did alter the values from what is set on DarthMod, BUT... I get the archers sounding like canons problem.

@Infinity State - Although it may seem like an easy thing to do, its pretty hard to do, Except for the Ikko Ikki as they have a lot of "unique" units.

This mod for instance will make Ashiguru Spearmen cheaper plus it'll do it for everyone. For the theoretical seperate mod you would need to make "Shimazu Ashiguru Spearmen" entries remove the default Ashiguru for Shimazu then change the price/upkeep for the new one, rinse and repeat for all units and factions.

The only way to really get round it would be to make the "unique" units cheaper. I once made a "Nuclear Oda" mod that didn't make it to the workshop due to how balls to the wall daft it was. Basically Ashiguru Archers were firing at the range of Artillery and at the speed of FoTS Rifles, where as their Spearmen would hold off nearly anything. While fun for 5 minutes it wasn't exactly a thrilling campaign lol.

TL;DR Way too much effort for a game that I don't play anymore, sorry :)

Player only version please! <3

@WarHog - Oh great stuff :D loads of comments on here have mentioned it not working with DarthMod... Have fun look forward to hearing back :)

@Cpt-British I just tried it, it works for me in my save-game with Darth mod activated.

Will do further testing.

@WarHog - I've heard it isn't. I think the Darth Mod affects the saem numbers that me does so it will probably cause crashes.

Is this save game compatible and compatible with Darth mod?

OK. Thank you for your attention.

Yea works unless another mod affects Unit Price or Unit Upkeep... Then you could have issues.

I just want to know. To ensure

It should be? you having issues?

Its working?

I really appreciate mods like these. Thanks!

@Sagara In that case i've no idea sorry, you'd be best off asking Grand Master Google for the info :)

Yes we do, otherwise he wouldn't be able to join my game

@Sagara Yea you need to make sure you have the exact same mods activated as your friend (You don't need to actually do anything else, other than make sure you only have the same activated subscribed mods)

Setup? we just subscribed and activated this one.

@Sagara does your friend have the exact same mod setup, i've heard this can cause issues...
