Ultimate Expanded Field Command V1.5

Description
MULTIPLAYER IS PLAGUED WITH DESYNCS.

REQUIRES FOTS DLC

LOAD ORDER SAME AS THE ORDER IN THE UEFC COLLECTION

ONLY LENNY MODS AND UNOFFICIAL PATCH 1.7 ARE 100% SUPPORTED.


UEFC combines the battle mechanics of Field Command Sengoku with the Expanded Japan map, Ashina's Buildings/Units, and a Portuguese faction including new units and artillery. The whole system has been fit together better, with better balance and cohesion of design.

UEFC is for people who enjoy content maxxing, and playing all the battles. Very Hard is "balanced" and Legendary is a true challenge! (doomstacks)

This wouldnt exist without Uanime5 and the thousands of hours he has put into Morning Sun. It also contains the work of Chewie, Fuwuvi, Ashina, Fourstrider, The_Yogi, JasonXIA and more. Big thanks to Who_ci, who gifted me the Ikko DLC.

See below for the list of all mods included and unique features of UEFC.

Features:

-Expanded Japan map with 142 factions

-12 Turns per Year, diplomacy is rebalanced to work with 12 turns per year, thinking of it in terms of YEARS and not TURNS.

-Removed Realm Divide, since the AI has plenty of reasons stab you in the back already!

-Full Portugal faction with Arquebusiers, Pikemen, armored Knights, and even ships crew armed with sabres and pistols.

-Portugal can have up to 25 missionaries from churches. Optional Ultimate Jesuits submod gives koku for every Church.

-Period-correct artillery pieces for Portugal. Japanese factions get access to European artillery through the Dutch Factorij port.

-Forests give a larger cover bonus against range

-General units using Bows and Teppo are available to recruit!

-Changes basic Samurai as skilled archers in addition to melee combatants. Bow Samurai become "Kachi Samurai," a unit with limited ammo and better melee. The AI uses these troops as a second line that softens up your defenses as the first wave of melee units attack, then charges into the fray.

-Likewise, sword-wielding Cavalry has been removed. Instead it's Bow and Sword cavalry. This reflects a more historical order of battle during Sengoku warfare.

-Additional recruitment buildings and units, such as garrison buildings and professional Ashigaru troops distinct from the standard "Kumi" groups of armed peasants. The names reflect a more historical distinction between professional and levied peasants.

-Additional Trade buildings by Ashina, which give different assortments of imported goods. Finally, a way to get that stone for your castles.

-Castle towers now ALL shoot guns, and all factions can recruit Teppo units from the castle chain. Both of these changes reflect how the Teppo was prevalent at sieges and how Daimyo would have kept their Teppo units close.

-All factions get some number of Long Yari Kumi, not just Oda.

-Raised perceived AI trade value of imports/exports that are not Warhorses, so they are more likely to enter trade agreements with you and each other.

-Additional ships, such as Teppo (gun) versions of Sengoku Bune, O Ataka Bune and Nihon Maru, and Red Seal Ships with 10 cannons. Japanese can recruit "Captured Galleon" with 24 cannons if the province has both a Dutch VOC Factorij and a Pirate Fortress.

-Improved sailing: The optimal angle of tacking across the wind now matches the value for real galleons and caravels. Sailing directly into the wind is much slower and the only time the boats reef their sails. Maintain momentum when turning across the wind. For some reason, the AI sends Red Seal Ships charging straight at you, but I like that because they get in close and unleash their cannons, it's an interesting tactic.

-Improved ship combat from Lenny's More Fun Boats. Archers and Gunners now RUN to their stations, and archers loose arrows much faster.



HOW TO START PORTUGAL:

WARNING: DO NOT DISBAND UNITS AT THE START WHILE GENERAL DE SOUZA IS IN THE ARMY. IT WILL CRASH. MOVE HIM OUT OF THE SETTLEMENT IF YOU WANT TO DISBAND.

One way is to use your starting army to begin instant conquest, so that you can pay for the army, taking a coastal settlement on the first turn should be trivial. This is your basic "paint the map" style, and good luck to ye!

Or delete some or all of your starting army and focus on grabbing as many trade nodes as you can early on. However, it will take 5 turns to make your first trade ship, so grab one node with your Galleon, and race the AI to the others as fast as you can build the merchant caravels. This is a good strategy if you want to play Portugal historically and influence Japan with your money. Trading or not trading with the AI can make or break them in a war with other AI.

FAQ:

-Names of Portuguese Generals and Merchants use a Japanese name. IF ANYBODY KNOWS HOW TO FIX THAT, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
-Pistols are still the FOTS revolver. There is a file name conflict with the Crossbow. Anybody who knows how to change the address and key for a weapon, contact me!
-Amako has a few units of 10 men to start. They get 3 regions and the game crashes if I delete units from starpos. Simple nerf!

-HELP MY GAME CRASHES: It's the same answer every time: Use only my mods, Reinstall everything, delete user cache.

Recommended additional mods:

-Lenny's Battletech 1 Turn Per Technology: get to the good stuff faster, but still have an option early game to specialize in something a little faster than your neighbors. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3304970603

-Lenny's Ship Campaign Realistic Movement: Completely changes how players and AI interact with ships and shipping. Sailing ships can move about 1/3 of the length of Japan, and rowing ships 1/4. As in reality, you cant know where the AI ships will be or where they are going. The way to control the waves is to station blockades at choke points and dont forget to defend your trading ports, and the trading ports of your allies, for them! https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3304964710

-1.5X Unit Size for UEFC. Does what it says on the tin.

-JasonXia's Ultimate Colorful Historical Flags Submod: Does what it says on the tin.

@Hoonting Richard no change needed, they have the stats of basic Naginata Samurai. They use Naginatas and they arent Hero units, just flavor.

Could you check Onna Bushi stats? I fought an early defensive fight and noticed, hovering on their card, that their defense is very low. Shouldn't they be among "defensive" units like others yari/naginata units? I think it's a mistake of Chewie because they aren't recruitable, maybe he forgot to add that "defensive edit" to them.

@VAZZ look at the collection attached to this mod its the load order intended (may have to check which ones you want to use/ if they're compatible such as with campaign movment and sandbox)

@bobskywalker deleteyour appdata/thecreativeassembly/launcher file.
you may also want to delete anything else in appdata for safety. If it doesnt work reinstall total war (delete files manually to be safe)

v1.56
----------------------

-Added Inspire Unit, Warcry, and Banzai to a mix of the hatamoto units.

-Removed secondary building requirements from matchlock ships. This is in an effort to get the AI using more diversified fleets.

-Added Portuguese units to more of the ancillary effects (I THINK). Let me know if you find any other bonus effects not working for Portugal.
