the ronin have been replaced with the "samurai rebels", which now spawn near kyoto and have been changed to occasionally have cavalry

there's a new bandit spawn near where the ronin used to be, for the "monk rebels", which have as many gunners as ronin used to have archers

woku pirates also now have guns instead of bows

the game now spawns more parties of every category, though still only at the same individual sizes as before. it ranges from 60% more for most bandits to 200% more for deserters

i hope it's manageable and not a slaughter-fest

I have a 1TB SATA hard drive. but I'll looking one to go faster then this one can't remember the speed on it.

Normally SATA HD come in 7200rpm variant. While it might be good to buy one with a higher rpm, it's data transfer is usually bottlenecked by the transfer rate of the HDD, which is around 64mb/s read and ~20-30mb/s write in the best conditions when data is being accessed or written from an external source. This will translate to how no matter how much ram, processing power or graphical power you have, you always have load time or in some instances, lag.

And that is why I was thinking of getting a solid state drive for a while now, but am unwilling to part with the money just yet. A good rule of thumb when comparing HDD to SSD is that the HDD of that generation always have ten times the storage capacity of the SSD but the SSD of the same generation will have ten times the read/write rate of an HDD. If you have no storage issues with just 1TB of storage, I would recommend you spend a bit more money and get an SSD for you to store your perfomance intensive games and operation systems on. Only drawback is obviously how expensive SSD are and how little their capacity are.

The current pricing for SSD is about slightly more than $1/Gb, with the price dropping the lower the write rate is. But then again, if your only purpose for the SSD is running Windows and games, you have no need for a 500mb/s writing rate now do you?

Ram is fine at 1333mhz if you're just gaming with it. I'm doing some video work with mine as well, so I had to oc mine. Also as for putting more gb in, most game .exe only use about 2gb ram. IIRC games like skyrim and M&B have 3gb flags now and most console ports don't go over 1.2-1.6gb of ram. Having 32gb of ram is redundant unless you run servers or in my case, use your home computer to visualize proteins. I'll recommend 8gb to ensure you can game smoothly while still being able to keep computer related stuff open and running in the background (If it's still too slow for your liking, it's the HDD bottleneck. Get a solid state drive and feel the cold breeze against your naked skin). But having said that, I've recently changed mine to a dual channel kit for 16gb 2400mhz rams for my 2013 bday present to myself <3. Pretty sure I don't need an upgrade until at least PS5/6 comes out.

Also, consoles are sold at a loss. That's why they are so cheap. But consoles don't have steam sales .

Honestly guys, your screenshots make me want to play this mod so bad!
but i can't because of my damn script errors!

I don't know if this is part of your problem, but one thing I've diligently worked on for the past couple of weeks was optimize scripts -- especially startup scripts, to decrease load times and new game crashes. I think I've made significant headway into that. It doesn't take anywhere near as long as before for me to start a new game

well, i made enough sword parts and textures over the past week that i could mix and match to create 4,608 sword variations.

i'm only using 40 of the variations, however
