This mod makes my bow warrior monks sound like cannons. I know there's a fix and I will try it, I just don't understand what part of the mod causes that. My only other mods installed disables the Yari wall and changes research bonuses and they didn't cause it before I added this mod

I would like to ask if admin can make the sword scabbard and remove the flag behind the samurai's back, that would make it look more beautiful

hattori yari ashigaru does not benefit from blacksmith, bug or intended?

@jaromeaviles

The mod doesn’t need one, it’s perfectly fine in its current state.

@seashell

Dunno, I’m not the original author of the mod.

Please update

when will 1.8 come out

@wladqis

I should’ve also mentioned the compatibility side, lots of other mods implement their own versions of the fix (compared to something like the tariffs or monk XP/movement), so I don’t wanna mess up the compatibility and therefore I don’t see myself touching it in this mod.

@Matthew39 this is not “balance” touching because their original stats are there:

https://shogun2.heavengames.com/shogun2info/units/kisho-ninja/

And in game descriptions is mentioned that hattori/tokugawa ninjas/kishos ninjas are better agents and also warriors on the battlefield. In that way, change tariff, xp for ikko monks from holy sites etc. - are also “balance” changes.

@wladqis

As I mention in the description, I’m not touching balance in any way with this patch.

I’m well aware of the issue, and plan to eventually do my own separate fix for it, but until then, I recommend using this mod:

@Khazukan Kazakit-ha!

I’m not really in the mood to play Shogun again (having much more fun with working on Pharaoh Dynasties and playing other games) + there’s nothing broken that’s included in the mod that would require fixing.

@Ritter Ayla
@FulcrumHQ

Nope, I talked to the author specifically to do a version tailored to my preferences, and unless he states he has no plans to do an update anymore, I won’t touch it, sorry guys :/

It was not mentioned here before but also fix regular kisho ninja stats in Shogun 2. They are superior(with no reason) against Hattori/Tokugawa kisho ninjas. Some patch long time before broke their stats as regular kisho ninjas had 14/20/8/2 attack/charge/defence/ammo stats when the game was released vs hattori/tokugawa whos have 15/22/10/2 stats to this day. One faulty patch gived regular kisho ninja same stats as hattori/tokugawa except ammo - regular kishos have 11 now which made them hardly superior against special kishos ninja of hattori/tokugawa clans. And hattori/tokugawa clans were designed to had far better ninjas than others.

it's a shame...
such a good game.

seems like he doesn't update it anymore...

Hi could you take over the full patch mod? The other person doesn't seem to be doing it, so would be cool for you to pick up the torch and finish what they started

Heya, many thanks for this mod, is there any chance you can also make a version of the original patch mod thats simply updated for current shogun? Ik the author announced they were gonna update their but they said they were gonna have it done by 7-8 months ago, so it seems like they forgot, many thanks regardless.

@Sanosuke

It’s a trade off for making Monks on levels 4 and above not loose to freshly recruited Metsuke and I think it’s worth it.

Also it’s something that’s otherwise hardcoded and can’t be fixed more elegantly, so I’ll probably keep it for foreseeable future.

But anyone can modify the mod’s file as they see fit with RPFM and remove the fix themselves.

hope you remove the metsuke fix cuz it make the metsuke never level 1

@Gascam

Dunno if I can really fix it.

I could try to remove Metsuke lvl 2 straight away recruitment, then the map would be flooded with Metsuke killing high level monks again.

As someone who often plays with Expanded Japan mod(s), I see it as a worthy sacrifice to ensure Buddhist factions’ monk agents don’t suffer.

This seems to be it. If I'm reading it right, everyone recruits Metsuke at level 2 to avoid the Monks getting insta-killed by lvl1 but the building chain suffers for it.

@Gascam weird, might be tied to Metsuke fix but shouldn’t be:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3315916821

For some reason enabling this mod causes the School chain to give 1 less experience to Metsuke. School and Library give +0, Magistrate +1, rather than +1 and +2.

@xXMitzuhideXx

Should be, but honestly unsure if Darthmod incorporated any of the same fixes.

Might still have some outdated fix in it but can't tell exactly.

Worst case fixes from this mod will overwrite Darthmod's I suppose.

@Matthew39 Is this mod compatible with Darthmod? I'm currently using Darthmod with your Patch Lite but I'm not sure about the functionality.

@hitmon125

Nope, this one is standalone :)

Otherwise I would’ve put the original mod as a requirement if that was the case.

do i need to install original mod first ?

yeah, i have the newest version, but it's still there.

@Red Panda

I was thinking of doing that for Stronghold of the Samurai, but the author is still fairly active so it’s questionable if it will happen.

@The Big Lebelski

You’re definitely thinking of one of the many audio issues that plague this game.

I see you’ve commented under The Real Sound Fix ENG, but have you downloaded the newest version from the description of that mod?

I myself can’t really fix it because I don’t have any experience with audio modding.

can you fix this? or is there a mod out there for this problem?

in other words the carbine cavalry have the gunshot sound of the musket that the levy infantry or the line infantry use and the tosa rifleman have the gunshot sound that the spencer does.

carbine cavalry have a different gunshot sound than the tosa riflemen, but they have the same gun.

Maybe you can collect map mods in one as well, as suggestion.

Depends what you mean exactly :D

Do you still rocking ?

Damn it was hoping this would fix the end turn crashing problem i've been having.

Thanks for all your work

@wladqis

Well aware of that mod, and planned to include it initially, but then a friend pitched me an idea for another possible variant of it, so I plan to release my own version independently and if people like it, I'll incorporate it here.

Won't be right away though, as I don't even have Shogun 2 installed atm (I shift between Total War and games in general a lot).

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2443277481 for restoring original kisho ninja stats, it would be good to incorporate this to this unofficial patch. This mod revert back original stats for kisho ninjas instead of boosted stats with random values.

@Hosteglius

Not from me, but if he hasn't updated anything yet, it's very likely he's still busy in real life.

Any news on Tricosis updating the main patch?

@kozaknathan85

Other than potential tweaks mentioned previous comments, there aren’t any major plans currently.

I’m mostly focusing on WH3 and Pharaoh at the moment.

Plus I don’t know what else to fix that’s actually fixable.

Any update on this?

@Otho I finally understood why they removed the yari ashigaru +18 chats, it was to scrape the bottom of the barrel for money before daddy sega started liquidating them.

@Otho

Thanks for reporting!

While it's not something I'm sure I could fix (though picture editing seems to be pretty easy from what I've seen), I'll try to look into it more after I figure out how to best go about the next update.

Other than updating the movement reducement value of Suppresive Fire, I might include a fix for Swooping Crane ability not applying anywhere outside of Custom Battles, but I'm wondering if the changes won't affect balance too much.

Here is a Reddit post also asking about this potential issue:

https://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/143cksk/shogun_2_map_darker_than_usual/

Hi again, got another potential bug which I strangely haven't seen more people talk about. Ever since the last official update for Shogun 2 - the one where CA removed chat functionality - the mini map in battles appears to have a strange dark overlay over it. Here are some examples showing how the mini map appeared before the update:

@kozaknathan85

That’s the most common Shogun 2 modding issue.

I plan to integrate audio fix later down the line (when I learn how it actually works), until then, use Doge’s The Real Sound Fix:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2842013018

I'm not sure what is causing it, but Samurai Archers now sound like cannons.

I actually wasn't even aware of that issue, definitely worth looking into though. Wish I could do more to help, but I'm unfortunately not very knowledgeable of modding. Once again, best of luck to you with this mod and any future projects. Polishing up these older games is no easy feat, but the effort is certainly really appreciated!
