Alright, I'm just dumb. This mod works, but you have to delete the Shogun 2 folder in the %APPDATA% folder. That, and keep it towards the top of your load order.

Unfortunately I can't get this mod to work, even when reverting to an older version of the game. It's a shame, I used to love it.

Can we still perform yari wall?
游生宗严 26 Dec, 2022 @ 5:45pm 
Can you make a mod using long yari? I think it is more in line with history and has a sense of substitution.Please.

Could you also replace the Yari Samurai's weapon plz?
naughtybynature 14 Dec, 2022 @ 3:02pm 
Awesome. Please make a short yari for Light Cavalry mod.

Thank you.

I figured it out! Thanks for the mod, dude.
The Courier 7 Nov, 2022 @ 4:23pm 
See, I did, but I still can't figure it out. I suppose I'm not tracking it well enough, because I thought I had changed the melee skeleton, animations, and weapon type, but it didn't do anything.

@The Courier To be honest, I do not remember as it has been years since I touched Shogun 2. I would just open the file and look at the edits I have done.
The Courier 6 Nov, 2022 @ 7:30pm 
How did you do this? I wanted to make some Portuguese units use pikes instead of their swords in close combat, and I can't figure out what animation tables to change
Merwanor  [author] 25 Oct, 2022 @ 12:45am 
@Cheapstall Mods should work for MP. You are both using the exact same mods?

I think the load order of mods have to be identical too, and the way that works in SHogun 2 is that the load order is decided by what order you activate the mods in the launcher.

So I would launch and deactivate all mods and have both of you activate the same mods in the same order. See if that helps.

I love this mod and have been using it for years. however, iv noticed when i try to use the mod for co op my friend and i cant connect. still works in single play though. do you know what this could be? Thanks again for this mod.
Merwanor  [author] 22 Aug, 2022 @ 9:50am 
Are you using any other mods? If so I would see if any of those mods are incompatible with this one. Try disabling them and see if that fixes the problem.
[YEET] Jey Uso! 22 Aug, 2022 @ 4:24am 
Why is not working , they still fking use katana to kill on the battel ? a Spear man using katana to combat is so shame !
vani 5 Feb, 2022 @ 12:45pm 
Love this mod
UwUSaizzoooUwU 12 Jul, 2021 @ 5:22am 
is this save game compatible?
Merwanor  [author] 9 Jul, 2021 @ 4:26am 
@2646319305 Try disabling other mods you are using and re-enable one at a time and you might find what conflicts with this one.
2646319305 9 Jul, 2021 @ 3:03am 
why it doesnt work ?
epitaph 9 May, 2021 @ 11:54am 
bruh the jumonji yari is what they used though...
Crius 9 Apr, 2021 @ 10:12pm 
affect FOTS?
Spica 19 Feb, 2021 @ 6:15pm

絕體、絕命 30 May, 2020 @ 6:49pm 
it is so good,can you add chinese,share it mod for more people:steammocking:
天使 3 May, 2020 @ 10:22pm 
I love this mod.
General Pants 25 Mar, 2020 @ 7:42pm 
Great mod. Changes nothing about the in-game behavior, just removes the pitchforks. Highly recommended. Great with the armored shogun packs.
diztortion 17 Feb, 2020 @ 6:46am 
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.
Rocket Witch 8 Jan, 2020 @ 12:21pm 
Alright. Thanks for the info.
Merwanor  [author] 8 Jan, 2020 @ 11:41am 
@Vassal of the Wan Clan

That is a good question, but it has been so long since I modded Shogun 2 that I don't really remember exactly how weapons where added to the units. Although I think it was done via a table entry so it may not be possible as I believe you can only edit one entry for each unit. It is possible with the newer games in the series but I just can't remember how it worked in Shogun 2.

Maybe if you delve into the flag bearer and captain units and how they work. Because they use different weapons but is part of the same unit.
Rocket Witch 8 Jan, 2020 @ 8:38am 
Is it possible to make a mod that gives each ashigaru soldier a random spear out of the sugu and jumonji types? IRL different clans and units had widely varying lengths and types, but I've never seen a mod for Shogun 2 that has weapon variations within a unit (except for the officer and standard bearer).
Merwanor  [author] 16 Sep, 2019 @ 1:24pm 
@Enkeli Kuoleman As far as I know there has not been any updates to the game so it should work. Do you use any other mods? If so they might be incompatible with this mod.
天使 15 Sep, 2019 @ 9:45pm 
Dont work more :c
Rustic Clover 16 Aug, 2018 @ 12:01am 
@merwanor
Hey, this is quite a long time after you've made the mod to ask, but could you make a standalone mod that has just the "Makes Yari/Oda Long Yari Ashigaru units fight with their spears instead of with their swords" with the addition of applying it to yari samurai?
Little Markus 23 Jun, 2017 @ 1:23am 
@merwanor, i fix it. ya some other mod rape your mod so it cannot work.
Merwanor  [author] 21 Jun, 2017 @ 9:22am 
@Geroge Dang, are you sure you are not using a new mod or something that might be incompatible? Have not heard of this game getting patched in years.
Little Markus 20 Jun, 2017 @ 11:02am 
i think this mod is broken due to some new update or st. now i can't see them using katana instead of spear
Little Markus 23 May, 2017 @ 5:49am 
this look more real ashigaru than using a katana
Merwanor  [author] 9 May, 2017 @ 9:23am 
@Cvlsoldier I am not familiar with that mod, but I would guess that there is a compatability issue with one of your mods. For instance, if you are using any mods that alters stats for the ashigaru units it will not be compatible as they edit the same table entries as this mod does.
Cvlsoldier 8 May, 2017 @ 4:36pm 
Nothing that changes weapons, though I am using Vastator's armor mod, would that cause it to not work?
Merwanor  [author] 8 May, 2017 @ 2:03pm 
@Cvlsoldier Are you using any other mods?
Cvlsoldier 7 May, 2017 @ 4:44pm 
It doesn't work for me. Ashigaru still have the trident yari and fight with their swords.
SphereWorld 12 Mar, 2017 @ 7:07am 
Even the unit card of Yari Ashigaru shows they wield a regular spear. Thanks for fixing this.
VELI 26 Jan, 2017 @ 8:21am 
Can someone please make Long Yari Ashigaru available for ODA from the begining ???It takes to long to upgrade the buildings in order to recruit their special unit :(
EngulfedObject 1 Nov, 2016 @ 12:22pm 
Thank you so much for this mod! Ashigaru units switching to katanas with their spears poking up in the air was the number one thing that bothered me about Shogun 2. Though it does seem to make them a bit weaker... but that suits me just fine. Thanks again!
Merwanor  [author] 11 Jul, 2016 @ 10:11am 
@Daafje.NL They have the same Yari as they always have, which is a very long version of the one I gave to the other Yari Ashigaru units. Only change is that they should be fighting with their spear instead of a sword.
Daafje 10 Jul, 2016 @ 11:05am 
hi, I have a question. What have you done with the Oda long yari ashigaru, do they have the same yari as the normal yari ashigaru?
Merwanor  [author] 14 Jun, 2016 @ 4:34am 
@PacifismAnthar Thank you :)
Mew Tea 13 Jun, 2016 @ 11:13pm 
You are talented, you got the shogun 2 spirit, and makes it even more "EPIC" in a historical way.
(by not adding some weird stuff), good job.
Merwanor  [author] 6 Jun, 2016 @ 4:00am 
@Kashou Minaduki Hmmm the odd movement is the same with or without the mod for me.
Ashina 5 Jun, 2016 @ 10:10pm 
Hey merwanor
I think there's a little animation problem with "Yari Wall" and Yari Ashigaru fighting with swords.
in vanilla game where ashigaru can switch to swords,when they move out with spear wall,they walk steady like men with pikes.
and when they got no swords,well they just like men trying to walk with only their left feet moving.
Sigmen 14 May, 2016 @ 7:40pm 
I don't know how to use packfile, but thank for all!
Merwanor  [author] 14 May, 2016 @ 6:41pm 
@Sigmen Ah yes I can see that now, personally I don't want to remove the flags as I like that look. But I will look into it if I have time after I finish the mods I am working on at the moment. Fairly new to modding TW games, so everything is a good learning experience for me.

So far I have only used packfilemanager when dealing with these kinds of mods that edit the tables. Seems to work fine so far.
