Check the mod Onin No Ran for cool japanese meshes, it is a complete mod like this, but a little buggy

 

[Yukimura_Sanada]

I am getting extremely excited, about this mod.  Can I be a play tester, can I, huh, huh, can I,  Oh please, please, please?

 

[shadowarcher]

[Yukimura_Sanada]

hehe.

i will make alpha players list.
alpha with map can take 2 weeks max.
alpha without map can be done in 3 days.
just tell me what you guys want.

 

[shadowarcher]

i say with map i can wait 2 weeks and besides with a map its more fun

 

[Kendoman]

I'd love to see what you've got even without the map.  I'm a sucker for Samurai, but I guess Kendoman gave that away.

Cheers,

 

[Yukimura_Sanada]

this mod is still alive and i have just added 2 new Factions.
edit this mod will also be for multiplayer.
for multiplayer the Uesugi clan and the Hojo clan are done.

 

[Nodscouter]

[Yukimura_Sanada]

today i will finished all the multiplayer factions. and try to do something with the Siege crossbow.

OH LAWDS, i've just watched The Last Samurai movie and i'm craving a samurai based mod. I know The Last Samurai is set during the final days of the samurai (late 19th century), but considering that their culture and warfare changed little throughout the centuries, perhaps these screens could come in handy when designing armour/weapons/items/buildings and so on.

If you didn't know already, that particular spear is known as a Yari.

Sweet Mary and Joseph, repeating crossbows? this is going to be the epitome of awesome.

 

[Nodscouter]

Repeating crossbows eh? When this mod is done, it's time for some ol' fashioned Age of Empires II Cho-ko-nu armies.

 

[diavel]

I definitely want to know how's it this mod doing good luck

 

[ShlurpleZePurple]

I'm sorry to revert back to The Last Samurai again  , but I noticed something that got me thinking.

Earlier in the week I saw this, Cartread's Deployable Pavise Shield thread.
http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,117391.0.html

Then, I saw this. It's the final battle scene in the movie and if you care to watch it all, you'll notice the archers behind
the large wooden/bamboo barricades.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgppJaKcmic

Now, I might be pushing the boat out a bit here, but if you can have deployable pavise shields, I don't see why you
can't have these babies popping up in front of the ranks of archers. Obviously you would have to get permission from
Cartread to use his idea and turn it into what i've suggested, and i'm not sure if it would be practical in-game having your archers carrying large wooden pallisade barricades on their backs until they decide to put them down (unless it's possible to make a command that can do it for you). Personally, i'm not a modder, and I don't have the foggiest how much work it would take to implement something like this into your mod, but like I said, i'm just putting the idea out there.

again, good luck, I can't wait for this.
