does this affect the AI as well?

Hi General Pants, This mod compliments hanzo's shadows in that other armies still have that unit, but the Ninja Hero replaces Hanzo's Shadows for both Tokugawa and Hattori.

Maybe add Kunoichi? I have a unit card... I thought I made it for you, but you are welcome to it. Scope's is part of my "MetaMod." It would be cool (space avaiable) if you could combine on Workshop as a third file. Confusing, but will undercut the 38-mod limit. PantsMetaMod will come close.

I have not gotten far into this mod yet (that would require me being a good player), but I have to give it high marks so far. One thing I haven't been able to figure out: does this mod completely replace Hanzo's Shadows, does it "fix" them to better integrate with the mod, or are they simply rendered obsolete by the new hero units? If no one knows, I'll report back if I can figure it out. In the mean time, I recommend folks try this mod, and thank you to the developer for a rich contribution to the game!

Naruto boii Kakashi where u at???

Hey Scopeh. Your mod is amazing. can I borrow your Ninja Officer textures in my own variation mod = The Shoguns' Elite Samurai. Hero Reskin. ?
I enjoy adding in lots of cool variation and such. I'd credit you as the maker naturally :)

If only there were a real solution to broken sounds issue

Is it still possible to get the encyclopedia entry somewhere? The donwload link seems to be broken.

I've always had OCD about wanting at least two of the same unit in an army, is there any way to raise the limit on the shinobi hero to 2?

What exactly this mod change about ninja units?

@Ṧℯℛ ₡øℛǥĩ - thanks for downloading and enjoying the mod :) I am afraid that I am semi-retired from modding Shogun 2 and haven't picked up my tools for 18 months now due to work and family commitments. What I will say is that you head over to TWCentre there are step by step modding tutorials - it really isn't as hard as it sounds. In fact I started modding Shogun 2 because someone suggested this mod a long time ago but nobody could be bothered making it... it just kind of went from there :)

Hey, thanks for the awesome mod, its good to see some ninja diversity lol
So uhh... do you take mod requests pls?

So you know the vanilla FoTS imperialistic general with the overcoat? Yeah, I was hoping you can make a guy look like that, and he has the normal european sword and pistol. I was hoping to go for a dueling vibe.
I wouldn't really want the unit stats to be TOO op, maybe just enough as a yari hero, and it would just be that one guy in the unit.

If you also have time, I was thinking could you make a foreign vet unit? Like there would be a foreign officer, with maybe like 5-6 other foreign infantrymen, as like a bodyguard. So you know, a French officer would have French marines, etc, etc...

yep they will

question if ive had the version of this from twc will the CUSTOM ENCYCLOPEDIA files still work with this version as i lost the download last night die to a harddrive crash

so uh does the mod just change the skins if so they are pretty cool

is it just me or does this not work in multiplayer

I can't use Hanzo's Shadows in custom battles, and I haven't built the last of the sake house building chain but the unit isn't showing up in the preview there either, is this a bug of some kind?

I was wondering how to fix the canon sound bug, it's only happening with the Hattori bandits, but it's really distracting and makes it hard to play the game without it being muted.
Should I take my question to the TWC?

Scopeh, I was wondering if you could make a reskin mod for Hattori bandits and make them look like kisho ninja only with bows? Just a reskin though.

I'm getting a problem where my arrow sounds are cannon sounds, I tried the Symphonia Semplice fix but that didn't work, any other suggestions?

@Masterkane33 true but like all ninjas, they're still weak to cav charge which i really hate

for the encyclopedia it says file not found

severely overpowered though idea is fresh, any chance of a power level meter with the mod... like a difficulty level?

i like it but you should make it as an unique unit, not a replacement for hanzo's shadows.

for some reason this replaces hanzos shadow's for me on both hattori and tokugawa dont know if tht the way it supposed to be but i wanted this as an extra shinobi hero unit to fight alongside the dlc unit.

Ill take a quick looksee scope.
I did download both your Ninja mods and am playing them both alongside select radious mods and DarthMod proper. So far so good

I did a small tweak to the Monomi Ninja as I either wasnt using them right or they simpily can't compete with an Ikko-Ikki rush of Loan Sword. At lv4 experience they are now a very valuable part of my army.

I also love that an army made exclusively of "paths less trodden" (or whatever its called) ninja can ambush on open plains, it has made that pre turn 30 Hattori survival more viable and open to creativity.

Where does this mod go after the monimi ninja? Have you ever thought about making perhaps a bow ninja unit that kind of acts like Hattori Bandits but with better melee capabilities and perhaps less accuracy. I simpily love the look of Squad leaders in Hattori armies and thought to myself "**** it, why not have a whole army of ninja that emcompass all forms of warfare"

@ Ediie Fonzarelli - I did a bit of packfile cleaning, the changes are now part of Extended Ninjas for Hattori and Tokugawa Mod. Check out my other published files to find it. @xy12323 - they should be able to climb? hmm I will take a look when I get time.

As the master of ninja, why this unit can not climb the wall !!??

Your mods used to work with DMS just fine.

Scope I just got this from TWCenter. It mentions on the site about Aesthetic upgrades to Hattori Katana Samurai leader (for example) available in 2 seperate .packs but they aren't part of your latest .zip.

@Libertard95 - are you using any campaign mods? I.e. TROM3 or DarthMod? This mod is currently untested with these mods (which can potentially edit the tables which define whic units are recruitable), and is intended for a vanilla campaign. If you are not using campaign mods you will need to build a level 3 stealth building (criminal syndicate), to recruit the Hattori or Tokugawa Ninja Hero. If the problem still persists disable all mods, and see if it works. If so slowly reintroduce your mods until it breaks to discover which mod is conflicting.

After installing this mod i cant recruit hanzos shadows and the hattori ninja hero in the campaign :/ any help?

@Davidwilkinsondw - - *comment removed due to trolling* - please ask the other 2700+ subscribers if this mod is fake before making outrageous claims.

@Hgreedy - You need to build a level 4 Legendary Samurai Dojo to recuit the Shinobi Hero unit. This requires the Trade Resource "Silk" to build, so it may be a little challenging if you are not trade partners with a silk exporting faction. The alternative is to conquer a region with the silk resource buildings yourself and tech up the tech tree to refine silk yourself.

Seems like a great mod :) But how exactly can i recruit the hero unit in FOTS campaing..?

cool

looks cool

COOL :3

Cant recrut the bow-bandit unit. why? can someone help me?

yes i run Sinfonia Semplice after i get any new mod (usually twice!) but i will try the deletion of the semplice pack and then running it again

Have you run the Symphonia Semplice .exe again since installing this mod? If the problem persists delete the symphonia semplice .pack in your ..shogun2/data folder and run it again. I still get the occasional problem sounds with all mods - usually bow kobaya's making musket sounds! it isn't perfect I am afraid :(

when i use bows they make the sound of cannons, even when i run the Sinfonia Semplice application and turn on the pack in the start up menu, any idea what i might ba able to do?

I'm going to verify it now ;) I'm sure everything is now fixed! thanks for your helpful presence Sir! and for reducing upkeep costs!

Small hotfix patch for mod - should redownload for subscribers on next lauch of Shogun 2 -

Minor Rebalance/Hotfix 19/06/2013-

Balance changes to following units -

- Shinobi Hero - increased ammunition to 4 (up from 1). Upkeep reduced to 120 (down from 180).

[*] Both Hattori and Tokugawa ninja heroes upkeep reduced to 150 each (down from 200 and 250 respectively).

[*] Fixed bugged graphical icon for Shinobi Hero, present on recruitment panel on Fall of the Samurai Campaign map.

Drama I couldn't replicate the bug you mentioned. All text entries were present in my build in battle and on the campaign map. I think I may have compressed an old build for the manual TWC download... oops. In any case this hotfix over steam should bring you up to date and working correctly. If your problem persists then let me know.

Drama I am just looking for the bug you described, I take your word for it that it is happening but I cant find it... where is this happening? Is it on the campaign map? I have checked out custom battles and the name and description is displaying.

easy way, just one click "....and justice for all" thanks good man!

@Dramabelli - you shouldn't have to delete anything (although I have never done it like this before). If you subscribe to the mod now, when you next launch shogun the launcher will ensure your version of this mod, and the version on steam are the same (they are for now). It will check this on every launch and automatically update the mod when I release an update on the workshop :)

really good suggestion man, thanks! should I erase packfiles manually installed from data folder before subscribe here? thanks

Your welcome, I will try and roll out a hotfix some time today if possible. It might take a bit longer to get a .zip file hosted for manual install - so If you subscribe to the mod from here on it will update the packfile when it is up and running (your encyclopedia files etc will still work correctly as you have already installed them with the manual install).

at now I've only verified it with the shinobi in FOTS campaign! no test with Sengoku and in custom battles! thank'u too man

@DramaBelli - Thanks for the heads up, I will look into this now. Does it only happen with the Shinobi Hero, Or is this happening with the Sengoku Campaign Ninja Heroes also?
