Ancient Colors | Improved Matchlocks

Description
Dear TW fans,

WARNING : You need PART 1 & 2 to fully enjoy this submod !

PART 1 is here ==> https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1741404578
PART 2 is here ==> https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2163845893

Matchlocks units will now fire with all ranks at a slightly longer range than their bow counterparts ! To balance this i lowered the base accuracy of those units.

The idea of this mod is to get closer to the real importance of firearms on the battlefield during this period. The bows still have the advantage in terms of rate of fire, accuracy and tactical versatility (parabolic shooting over units and walls during sieges in particular).

However, from now on you will have a real reward by gaining access to gun technology.
To maximize the effect I recommend you to use checkered style formations like ==>

-----Y----Y----Y----Y---Y----Y----Y------
--------M---M---M---M---M---M--------
C---A---A----A---G----A---A----A----C

Just keep enough space between your Yari units to give a propoer field of fire for the Matchlocks (but not too wide either for obvious reasons). Please share your feedbacks !

Have fun and conquer Japan in style!

Can this work with Unique factions?

I was able to make the cannon noises go away but now the samurai use 19th century trumpets /horns when they move.

FYI the sound issue is super easy to fix and has been an issue with unit mods since modding was first added. Search the workshop for "sound fix" and behold the options of fixes.

fix this and only include the affected units. It's making other unit mods incompatible without need

Matty get the cannon sound fix mod

I, too, have the sound bug. Sinfonia Semplice fixes it for bow ashigaru, but all bow samurai seem to still have musket sounds. Any other ideas on fixes?

i tried the sinfonia mod and most of the units are ok but it seems like some select samurai bow units (chosokabe and others) still have the issue lol its not a HUGE deal i get weird stuff happens and it could just be something on my end
