Total War: Shogun 2 Windows game

• Units should no longer get stuck in fort doors (a bug that you have reported many times). 
• Crew in some ships should not get stuck and now should man all the cannons.
• Several fine tunes in melee mechanics and synchronizations. 
• Charges more effective and penetrating. 
• Formation fixes. 
• Morale more dynamic, cavalry charges more decisive.
• Overall an even more realistic and challenging battle experience with correct balance of melee lethality. 
• Better AI line firing positioning.
• Diplomacy more active affecting positively the trade agreements between clans.
• CAI even more effective and active overall. 
• Land and Naval Autocalc improvements. 
• CAI should now build more Ashigaru.
• CAI should build now less Bow Kobaya and more Heavy ships. 
• Ships going to border of the maps (dreaded bug) should be much less frequent or non existent.
• Square and mass fire removed because they created unbalance and AI never used them right.
• Launcher version changes:
  • Removed outdated submods: (Superghostboy mod, Ftmch Retexture mod, Unit Variety, Toon's Bows).
  • Added new popular mods after much popular request with the kind permission of their authors. They are the following:
    • "Vastator Unit Style 1.3". A more unit variety type mod by =Vastator=
    • Alternative Clan Colours by Demokritos
    • NOIF's Boshin War Mod (NoBWN) - HISTORICAL FLAGS, BANNERS & UNIFORMS by ♔Noif de Bodemloze♔
    • NOIF's Modern Japan Army Mod by ♔Noif de Bodemloze♔
    • Noif's Bows by ♔Noif de Bodemloze♔
    • Bullgod's Daimyos and Generals mod by BullGod
    • BullGod Tercio by BullGod
      

    As mentioned before Shogun 2 & Fall of the Samurai Retexture & Performance Project by Superghostboy is no longer available as an option because it was not possible to prevent potential problems to users. However it is a highly recommended mod which you should try by manually installing.

• SteamWork version changes:
  • From the above mentioned new mods they are included the following:
    • "Vastator Unit Style 1.3". A more unit variety type mod by =Vastator=
    • Alternative Clan Colours by Demokritos
    • Uniform part of NOIF's Boshin War Mod (NoBWN) - HISTORICAL FLAGS, BANNERS & UNIFORMS by ♔Noif de Bodemloze♔
    • Noif's Bows by ♔Noif de Bodemloze♔
    • BullGod Tercio by BullGod

    It was not possible to add more due to upload limitations of Steam Workshop version.
