Ok, so its fully worked now, I guess...
Same attempt.
5) I've noticed that Evil Spirits captured ruins (only one location :( ) at swamps.
6) yesss, 4 Tsukumo dead, some Oni Escort
7) Somewhy one the east coast there's a point where 5-10 Wandering Oni's spawned regularly and just rinning around with task "patrolling". No camps, no captured ruins...
But there were Oni skeletons (1k hp at head slot, omg) and I've recruited one. Fuxia skeleton is awesome *_*

Now the only questions is if they capture other ruins or I should do import and repeat. I need 10 Tsukumo souls for blaskmith and crafting their weapons....
And death machine, yes, whatever it is.. :)

Oh, finally!:)
As asual,
1) import, resurrecting dead npc
2) kill Ao Oni, Aka Oni
3) wait for the night (? mandatory?)
4) camps of wandering oni spawning! :)

I've also met two hive-oni (worker and soldier) and recruited them. What a beauties! *_*

Looking for skeletons and machines...

Still no Tsukumos and no ruins capturing, but now at least some of Oni's got tsukumo armor and weapons.

Progress is progress...

And also raid to my base happened. But it was only one Oni lol.

Unfortunately no luck so far during 5 different import attempts.

1) two Oni's appears at Oni castle, I kill or capture them
2) I'm starting to get 5-10 messages about Wandering Oni camp cleared
(not by me, looks like they just spawn and despawn immediately, I haven't seen any even on map)
3) I'm returning to Oni castle and kill Aka & Ao Oni (Vengeful Spirit) and that's all.
No Wandering Oni, No Tsukumo, No captured ruins/libraries... damn it xD

@kzh-Lulu
Now I'm playing combo Reactive World + Universal Wasteland Expansion.
Before that I've tried Living world (only)
and then Reactive world (only)
+ all the necessary NVDM one's.
But somewhy in all cases I haven't seen any Tsukumo's or captured Labs.

In UWE few factions capture some ruins/labs/etc, but far from all of them, so Evil Spirits actually have an opportunity :) Also damn, they're quite strong and easily can defeat almost any NPC (:

Other my mods... no, they don't do anything with it (otherwise I'd notice overrides!:) )

Obvious solution is to try without UWE and RA, but I'll lost a lot of my progress, base, items.

So now I've placed NWDM Roes as low as I can in mod load order, this time I'm planning also add your mod and hope it will work :-)
Cheers ;)

@Dvatrij
The other thing I can think of is a conflict with another mod.

You may have installed a mod that overwrites the overraids in the armory or library, which may have overwritten them (or you may have installed them without realizing it).

You may be able to fix it by replacing NWDM Retaliation of evil spirits with a mod that loads it later (lower down in the mod order). (In this case, NPC import is required to initialize overraid.)

If this doesn't solve the problem, I'm a bit confused as to the cause. (At least it's not caused by this mod.)

Oni Escort - it is Wandering Oni or another ones?
Well I've never met any Tsukumo
I've done ~ 5 or more imports with resurrecting all dead NPCs, everytime the same scenario:
1) I kill/captute Ao Oni & Aka Oni at Oni Castle.
2) Wandering Oni and their camps start spawn. A LOT.
3) My base get raided by a pack of them.
4) ... And that's all.
5) Few ingame days later I can't meet any Oni (heh) anywhere.
They aren't capturing anything (Library, Ruin, etc) either.

Last time after I kill Ao Oni & Aka Oni and returned to their castle, I've met them again but now named like "Ao Oni (Vengeful Spirit) "
I killed them too. But still no Tsukumo anywhere in the world :(((

I've asked mod author about it but no answer so far.

I would appreciate any ideas or help...
Anyway I'm going to try with your mod. New enemies & weapons is fun anyway.

But. I. Want. Tsukumo!:))

＠Dvatrij
This mod only affects Oni Escort, not Tsukumo Oni.
The original NWDM Retaliation of evil spirits mod treats Tsukumo Oni as unique characters (there are about 60 Tsukumo Oni with the same status and different weapons), so if you import the game after killing them to some extent, the number of surviving Tsukumo Oni will decrease, The number of surviving Tsukumo Oni will be reduced, and the appearance rate will also decrease accordingly.
(It will be restored after importing NPCs.)

Does it affects Tsukumo and Oni spawns and labs / libraries overrides?
In my game original mod didn't work, I've never met any Tsukumo.
Only Wandering Oni (and Aka/Ao oni originals of course...) and their raid to my base.
Maybe this one helps.
Or anyway... more weapons to collect, yey!:)

Thank you. If you do, please notify me, as i really look forward to it.

@Javes
I'm not thinking about it at the moment, but I may do it when I feel like it.
今の所は考えていませんが、気が向いたやらやるかもしれません。

Is there a possibility to make shek oni spawn as female too? I only see male Oni, but i want to recruit female.

Thank you for clarifying, i look forward to the update.

このアドオンでは内部的に同じステータスで装備する武器違い鬼の数を増やしています。
（一キャラにつき武器を100種類以上設定できないため、出現人数を複数にして1体辺りの抽選数を100種類以下に抑えている、無闇に武器追加アドオンを作れないのはこの制約のため。）
恐らく該当アドオンでは1キャラ目の鬼のみ（元modのEvil Spiritsからいるキャラ）しか話せるように設定してないためそのような現象が起こっていると思われます。
該当アドオンにPlusの鬼を増やしたとしても（plusのみで2体）、武器追加アドオンによては鬼の数を増やしているので（最大10体）その場合はそれ用のアドオンを更に必要になります。

保証はできませんが、その辺りは次のバージョンで対応するかもしれません
宜しくおねがいします。

@Javes
To tell you what's inside, this add-on internally increases the number of different weapon oni to equip with the same status.
(Since you can't set more than 100 weapons per character, the number of appearances is set to multiple to keep the number of draws per character below 100.
This is the reason why we can't easily make add-ons that add weapons.)
This is probably because the addon is set to only allow the first Oni character (the one from the original Evil Spirits mod) to speak.
Even if you increase the number of Plus Oni in the relevant addon (2 in the Plus only), the number of Oni is increased by the addon that adds weapons (10 if you include FoxTown), so you will need more addons for that.

I can't guarantee this, but I may address this in the next version (e.g. by making solicitation the default setting).
Thank you.

Thank you, i am currently using that add-on and recruiting oni, however, maybe some other mods of mine might be interfering, as i only sometimes get the chance to talk to my captive oni. The chances are like 1 out of 5 that let me talk to them. Is this a mod conflict or are there conditions im not meeting? I take away their weapons and armor.

@Javes
We're sorry, but we have no plans to make Oni available from the beginning for now.
(If you feel like it, it may be implemented at the time of version upgrade etc.)
However, if you really want to use it, there is an add-on that you can put in a cage and then pay cat to make friends.

申し訳ありませんが今の所鬼を最初から使用できるようにする予定はありません。
（気が向いたらバージョンアップ等の時に実装するかもしれません。）
ただどうしても使いたいのなら檻の中に入れてからcatを払って仲間に出来るアドオンならあります。

宜しくおねがいします。

I would greatly appreciate if the player could play as the oni, with maybe a few oni starts, and the ability to modify appearance. Its ok for them to be strong and heal fast, i think balance should be something the player decides to have with mod selection, so dont worry about them being too strong.

@Explicitly Offensive Cuneiform
The enemy race added by this mod itself is set to be much stronger than the player race, so we are not thinking of adding it as-is for now.
However, if there are a lot of requests, we may consider it in some way.
As a side note, we are thinking of adding oni armor (Mercenary Plate, Crab Armor, etc.) other than samurai armor in the future. (It may not be possible).

Any chance to incorporate vampireteddyghram's oni race mod?

とりあえず自分がプレイしていた環境と同じくらい武器アドオンを出せたので暫く武器追加は無いと思う。

投稿しているアドオンは可能な限り作者に許可を貰い、又作者不在の場合は使用の連絡はしています。
不都合があれば削除等の対応はしますのでよろしくおねがいします。
（Whenever possible, I ask the author's permission to use an add-on, and if the author is not available, I will notify them of the use.
If there is any inconvenience, I will remove it.）
