Well, since it changes the variantmesh, above reskins. But it would be incompatiable with reskins.

Where in the load order should this go?

Still works nice no sword yari combat.

Sprites? No, they are skeleton meshes. It would conflict with reskins yes

really silly question, units in this game are all sprites right? so this will conflict with mods that change their clothes?

@AtomicGandhi saya and ebira does that

Or just give them a shit looking katana model that looks like it was mass produced.

@Jollyross, its not a terrible way to communicate that the Yari Wall has Broken, and the troops have resorted to their sidearms, but I agree, it looks dumb that they put them on their back,
If CA was clever, they would have given them a mix of Tantos, axes, etc, have them use the bannerman Sword+Flag animation, so they can hold their pike in their offhand to fight with their backup weapon if they get formation broken.

tried to activate this mod alone but for some reason its not removing the swords nor the fight animations for them

I know, I got triggered. But people thinking that yari units put their yaris on their back and thought with katanas against each other and then flaming this mod makes my blood boil. People who just think otherwise i'm not annoyed at but the obnoxious weebs who don't know what they're talking about. My virgin rage could fuel a thousand sons.

@Jollyross that was nasty.

Amy dickhead who thinks this is unhistorical because it removes katanas needs to be killed.

Historically accurate or not, the thought of having a 7 foot long spear on your back only to use a short sword in battle seems extremely counter intuitive.

I like this mod.

Maybe, animation plays a bigger role in the newer total war games. Here everyone is stuck in an animation anyway. I don't know how to balance that tbh.

do you know if this will effect melee ability? I feel like the chacter model might be pushed back to use the longer spear

so does it work for fots?

When I use this mod the swords disappear from the hands of idling, walking, and running sword infantry

Does somebody know about mod making "Yari Ashigaru fight with Yari" only (without any other unit changes)???

pardon?

re feacherito los yios con lanza ah y pon tambien otro

lol

This is proof that the "muh history" types dont know shit

@diztortion uh, good question. Test it

Do the yari ashigaru still work like normal in spear wall? Looking for a mod like this, but so far all of them seem to break the yari spear wall /no longer functions correctly. They stand in spear wall formation but don't continuously attack like vanilla game.

@SprayNPray I wouldn't know about Darthmod. I think darthmod edits files that are related to this mod. So they might not be compatible.

tried it. it worked the first time i started the game with the mod. but it only worked once.
i dont think it likes darthmod. or its just me who dont have a clue of what im doing. love the mod tho.

I will try this out

the ROTS variant of this mod has been removed and merged with this mod.

Alright guys, a fat update for people that has wished for certain changes. Read changelogs for more info.

From now on I will make an update to remove the "Genpei" version of this mod and merge the two into one mod. I will also look into removing the swords for the FOTS yari units.

Lol, you must've removed me then since I remember we were already friended.

@Debby Jade, Synth, LAPDPD No it does not because i use the same table to remove the Katanas. However, I could make a personal mod for you :) Add me on steam so I can give you my Discord if you have it :)

Also I definitely suggest making an "all in one" experience mod.

@Guvenoren
Well hory shet, that was unexpected! Would this new patch mean this mod works with mods that give yari samurai/regular yari ashigaru long yaris?

@Debby Jade, Synth, LAPDPD You're one lucky buddy mate. I hadn't updated this mod in years and you chose to message me on that day when I desided to return for a while :P

A long overdue patch. I fixed the Oda Long Yari so it works accordingly. The FOTS yari I have been thinking of aswell. I am debating if I should merge the other mod for ROTS together with this for a more "All In One" experience.

@Guvenoren
Any way of doing it myself for the Long Yari and FOTS Yari units since you're not doing Shogun 2 anymore?

"Sadly does not work with Oda LONG yari or any FOTS yari."

@AbatedFawn What fix?.. oh, forgot xD

Any update on the fix?

@AbatedFawn I see, One day I might fix it. Who knows :P

Sadly does not work with Oda LONG yari or any FOTS yari.

huh, I've never experienced that. unfortiunantely I dont game Shogun 2 right now so I cant really look into it.

I think there something wrong with client when I use it. The ashigaru would charge with spear then switch to invisible sword after two to four swing.

well, this is what it is. They use only the spear.

Can you make a Ashigaru use spear only mod? I'm really sick of having my Ashigaru charged into enemy then switch into their side arm sword instead.

Thanks for this, I'd rather the ashigaru use the spears at the expense of yari Samurai not having katanas.

?

It's soooo lame they don't use the katanas against fellow spearwielders!

No, it will not make them op since their stats are the same.
