the one your talking about were called Flintlocks those were the guns after the Matchlock (muskets)
Flintlock Rifles and such replaced the Matchlock Muskets though i dont think they had flintlocks during the sengoku era i believe they were still using matchlocks

I wasn't. Flintlocks use a flint to light the gunpowder, and I literally translated the word in Dutch into English for a matchlock. "Lontslot" Which literaly translated is "fuse-lock", hence my confusion. Those were fired by a lighted fuse being tilted onto the gunpowder by the trigger's movement. Unless I'm wrong with using correct words again...

But by THIS point, Wheellock guns would have been around for ages - both as pistols and muskets. The wheellock mechanism was comparatively easy to reload, and FAR more usable in windy and rainy conditions due to the spark being ignited by the friction of the wheel, and not a fuse or a match - and best of all, the mechanism allowed for early pistols.
I'm not sure when the Miquelet was invented - probably much later than this time period - and that's the only other common classical gun type I can remember being good for cavalry. But a wheellock carbine or pistol would be an insanely good weapon for a mounted samurai, and as far as my research has told me so far, the samurai absolutely LOVED guns and embraced them - so I imagine if the Dutch and Portuguese were selling them the technology, that they'd make full use of it.
Wasn't that because Japan had closed its borders by the time wheel-locks had been invented? So they had no way of getting access to it without inventing their own?11sparky11 said:Wheelock in Europe, yes, in Japan, not so much.

I have a a few suggestions for Gekokujo after playing through it for about a couple of weeks now. I'm liking it very much. I'm currently playing as Oda and I have majority of my 80-man army as Elite Gunners or Elite Samurai Gunners. I can't recall very well what are they called. Regardless...
Since people have complained about the lack of usage for the shield skill, how about adding parrying daggers or war fans in place of the shields?
You should make its shield coverage low enough for it to become near useless against ranged attacks, but of course, a few lucky blocks on ranged attacks would also be helpful.
And also... I don't know if others share my sentiment about the very small differences in the appearance of armor. The minor differences in appearance must be praised for its attention to detail. It's just that there's no other armor other than those of the Samurai. I know it might not sound realistic, but why not add armors based on:
-Ashigaru (aside from the current ones, how about the haci-gane protector or other chain mail armors in Japan?)
-Ninja armor or clothing
-Geisha or Kabuki? (for aesthetics only?)
-Japanese sandals?
Speaking of ninjas, you better make the kunai usable as a dagger as it was actually "designed" to be a melee weapon rather than a throwing weapon. Shurikens are the ones that are really throwing weapons. There's also a lot of types of shurikens so I guess that should add variety to the weapons.
I'm short on time right now so I'll add other suggestions next time.
Sorry also if I'm suggesting too much even though I don't know anything about modding. I know it's hard to make a game like this, so just treat these as suggestions rather than requests.
Best of luck to you on this project!
Hate to correct you but a lot of things are not from an OSP pack and he made himself thus it is possible would just take time the things from the OSP packs were lower in quality then what we currently have.OneRing2RuleThemALL said:Eiann said:Greetings!

Well most things - if not everything - comes from an OSP Pack, he does not possess the ability to do that unfortunately

Well most things - if not everything - comes from an OSP Pack, he does not possess the ability to do that unfortunately
besides saying "if not everything" sounds rude the towns the castles the siege were all made from scratch keep that in mind thats A LOT of work more than armour more than weapons
not only that next update the religion system as well as the court system will also be in place these are also from scratch (bare bones) so if i had to say only a small amount of things will be OSP packs once 3.0 is out there will also be new weapon variations as well which is also not from an OSP.
What i mean is in v1.0 near enough everything was from OSP
2.0 Marty replaced the OSP items with ones he made himself
3.0 Many more new items as well as new systems in place
Thus Marty DOES have the skill to do it but he will do it only if he wants to as for using kunai as a melee thats such a simple thing to do >_>

A shuriken would be useless against any armour starting from a leather cloak.
Using daggers as shields has been done before in M&B, but the problem lies within the shield skill itself. The higher your skill, the higher your coverage. Even with neglible coverage a dagger with 10 shield skill would block arrows in a pretty ridiculously wide radius. Thereby, it looks bad.
There are ashigaru armours already. Ashigaru basically used no armour to cheap and mass-produced versions of samurai armours. You are right about the rarer mail vests though. Currently there are no real mail suits or leather armours in-game.
The sandals in-game are Japanese sandals afaik. Unless you mean barefoot sandals, which were not used for travelling or fighting I would dare say.
I fully agree on geisha clothing, but I'm kind-of allergic to Hollywood ninja clothing and anything hollywood ninja-like. If they are incldued, I hope they are realistic, just like this mod is untill now. Stealthy spies and saboteurs. Perhaps even assassins, but no god-like olympic champions beating samurai on a battlefield while watching TV and cooking some sausages.
Yeah I feel like a dickhead now anyway. But what I didn't specify was the armour and how he probably wouldn't have the time to make and model them if he is still only making this by himself.unkowned said:Hate to correct you but a lot of things are not from an OSP pack and he made himself thus it is possible would just take time the things from the OSP packs were lower in quality then what we currently have.OneRing2RuleThemALL said:Eiann said:Greetings!
