this mod is peak btw

Can confirm, can't recruit the sword bois from upgraded towns

Is there a way I can download this, so I can use it without the internet?

There is a bug where these can't be recruited with an upgraded town.

these guys are so op

i can just make an army of just loan ashigaru and wipe out any army in my path with minimum casualties!

Love your mod, but Sinfonia Semplice doesn't fix the sound glitches, any tips?

This is great! I love the comprehensive detail. I may try to adjust my copy so that you have to have a second level castle, and maybe drop the unit size to compare to others. Thank you for this!

my lord, your mods Not working with "Battle Formation mod" sir, they still have more "space" between unit like vanilla, not tighten as they mods should working

ay I can't see the sword ashigaru units in the custom battles page. Is this supposed to happen?

I don't want to create an account on TW page in order to view the description download page. Can you add the description mod some where here?

I really appreciate that you went through all the trouble of creating four unique variants. This is a great mod.

If you can't recruit these units in Campaign it's likely you have another mod that is conflicting.

Many thanks to Roland for this mod. Does anyone have any idea how to fix the gunshot problem. i did download the Sinfonia Semplice which did generate a pack in my data folder. but unfortunately it's not working. And i tried changing it into moive format. Still not working. So sad i can't use this mod because of this problem

Hello, for me the mod work perfectly but i'm playing in a french version so i lack the names + in darkens the screen when i'm selecting theim on custom battles, i'd like to know if u got any idea on how to fix it?

I cant use it for most clans and those I could (everyone but oda and ikko) I am not able to recruit them anymore, could you please help me?! I want to go back to my hattori game but I need those loan swords to help me take provinces.

just doesn't work for me anymore lol I tried everything

intresting though does this stack with the mods for increased manpower? if not then they will be overwelmed by numbers alone.

The units are only showing up in custom battle, any idea why? anyone?

It appears that this mod is not compatible with "Double Economy" mod. After adding this mod to my campaign my double exonomy effects dissapeared on my curretn save game.

Would anybody know if this mod is compatible with Darthmod?

Yes the AI can use them too if memory serves

Any idea why it wont let me train these? I used to be able to have them and when loading an old campaign I have the ones already recruited but no ability to recruit any more. Any idea what might have gone wrong? (just started playing after a long break)

can the AI buy this units too?

Thank you for this mod, finally armies built at the very beginning of the campaign are actually capable of attacking something. Loan Swords give a very cheap 'shock' capability, yet is balanced well enough that samurais will still eat those dirty unwashed commoners for breakfast.

Has anyone found any incompatablilities yet?

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not. But Apparently my Oda sword ashigaru are much slower on the campaign map than other units. If I want to use a general with a bow or spear ashigaru I can go much further than with the same general including a sword ashigaru.

is this mod works in custom battle ?

Hi
It seems to me that all factions have same amount of ashigaru, but ikko ikki are supposed to have more? Makes early game hard when playing as ikko ikki since you no longer have numerical advantage

Is this for the normal game or a dlc?

Hi Roland! Thanks for this awesome mod I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am wondering how you are able to link the in game item to the encyclopedia? I am currently researching on ways to link in game item to customised encyclopedia for another mod. Wonder if u are willing to share that :)

That gun sounds really kind of kills it :(

where do i start downl ?
i pressed subscribe, but nothing happend

I won't go into detail explaining it (since you can easily look it up), but you can use Pack File Manager to turn Sinfonia Semplice into a movie file, which should fix the problem.

ya the gun sound doesnt go away when i downloaded the fix

I'm getting the sound glitch mentioned in the description, but when I downloaded and ran the file to fix it nothing changed, is there another way to fix the issue?

@Hazori, the mod author mentioned that might happen. There's a link under "Are you having sound glitches" which will take you to a download for a mod/program to fix sound glitches. Adding in new units tends to result in these kinds of glitches.

hey thank you for the nice mod ! but there is a small bug ... the archers (oda) sounds like gunners. it was awesome if you will fix it ! but i really like ur mod

It's fine, don't worry about it. You're welcome. :)

ok i sorry thank you for mod

@Metha: Yes, sorry for that trouble. Unfortunately Shogun 2 is constructed in such a way that adding units to it causes some sound errors that fortunately can be fixed.

I've included directions in the description of the mod; please check them and see if they are able to help you. For those who run into troubles with sinfonia semplice the folks over at TWC are much more able to help you than I am. For those who are wondering what TWC is: that is also in the description.

Thanks,
Roland

Oda Archers Sound Gunner ???

Okay, having finally got Shogun 2 to work (Curse you McAfee!) I can say that this is one of my favorite mods. I play a lot as the Hattori and I've always thought that, since they aren't exactly a samurai clan either, it would make sense that they could get Loan Sword Ashiguru. Thanks for uploading this.

Actually, scratch. Apparently Shogun 2 itself is just crashing. *sigh*

Hmmmm, I've been looking for something like this for a while. But running this mod causes the game to Crash on Launch, even with all other mods disabled.

Neat Unit Pack, Might add them to my campaigns soon. The Descriptions for each unit were amazing. HONORBRU DISPRAY.

@Rogano: Thank you

@ Shadowwolf: Thanks! That is nice to know. That would mean that my mod is historically inaccurate, lol. I still find the gameplay enjoyable though.

@Manbearpig: That is happening because you have added a unit to the game. If you run sinfonia semplice then that will stop happening. You can find it at http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?544459-Sinfonia-Semplice-(Sound-Fixing-Tool)

Great mode well done

Great mod, gameplay wise. As to why Creative Assembly left those out: Because of history. In feudal Japan only warriors (namely bushi, widely known as samurai) were allowed to wield swords, since ashigaru are common folk the common clans would not have allowed them to carry the symbol of warriors. The Ikkō Ikki on the other hand were rebelling against the feudal system anyway, as they thought everybody should be thought of as equal, thus I can imagine ashigaru wielding swords when fighting alongside the monks who founded the movement. The reduced upkeep probably results from something along the lines. They mostly fought for ideals, not for money. But that's just speculation.
Anyway, hope this satisfies your curiosity.^^

Why do my Bowmen Shoot out arrows that sound like guns

Thanks for the mod. Rather nice work you've done here.
