Also could you maybe add a Komuso and some monk robes to the game? Maybe they could be a new troop type expanding off of the Jimon Monk

Hello! Few suggestions if thats okay. I would love to suggest 'more kabuto and armor variety, more weapon variety, more map variety' etc but I know it's likely that, while you would agree that those would be nice additions, you haven't the time for it. So, heres a slightly more realistic list of things that I would love to see as a longtime Gekokujo player!

1) Seeing the names of lords changed for clarity would be nice, but not detrimental. For example, instead of lord Ishida, lord Ishida Mitsunari. It isn't too critical of course, but I think it adds realism and aids immersion.

2) A way to disable injuries would be divine, or maybe less frequent injuries. I have suffered injuries that don't seem to heal in this mod and thus it causes me to retreat a battle the second I fall in fear of permanent stat loss. Then I sacrifice the renown and waste time!

3) More Jinbaori meshes/designs, notably giving some great lords the ones with the little fluff balls sewn on to the folded piece of cloth over the chest (sorry for my terminology)

4) I know I added map variety to the example of ambitious requests, but I can't help myself. I think the work you've done with custom scenes so far is incredible, but I have always believed Gekokujo to be lacking in its siege design and castle design. Simply a bit more clutter in castles and buildings/outlying villages in town sieges to make it feel more like an important siege would be very cool!

5) I would like to potentially see an extension of certain troop trees, specifically the troops you get at temples such as the Shingi Monk Gunners or Sato Returnee's. I would like to see, for example, a Sado Samurai that has a bit better stats, as I currently feel the temple troops are simply cannon fodder in bigger battles. However, this could easily destroy balance as these troops are free to hire and quite inexpensive to keep in your party, so I do not feel this is a must.

6) I think the skin texture used on men is... questionable. It looks like the skin suddenly became heavy as lead and left what I dare call striations - because they are no mere wrinkles - across the entire body. Again, not that important!

7) I would love to see more books in the game!

8) More colored armors would be great! I can only ever seem to find one white eboshi kabuto, which is a shame as I would love my companions to sport all white armor. Also, some simple robes being retextured and made into stronger armor to wear with no STR requirement would be great for my utility companions. I drag them with me as my strategists everywhere I go but they are all wearing the same black armor and Otani Yoshitsugu wrap+mempo (which by the way is one of the coolest armor pieces I have ever seen in M&B, so HUGE props to you/your team/whoever made it. Very good design and execution!!)

9) I am not sure if this is possible to do, so I do not ask that this be taken that seriously, but I think it would be cool if you could hire an assassin via your minister for, say, 10k mon and have them attempt to assassinate a lord inconspicuously. they would have a very low success rate, more often hurting/injuring the lord or causing commotion in the faction than killing him, but if the assassin were to fail, it would be an instant provocation to war and you would lose honor/relation with some honorable allies for your shady methods. And maybe you would have to send a companion with the assassins group, who could be captured and ransomed, and you could only do it every 3 months for balance! And it would be RNG based, not a unit on the map with 10 men that go and take on Honda Tadakatsu's 300-strong army and lose in seconds. Just a fantasy though, I imagine.

:)

I know you want to avoid fantasy (which I would say isnt as fun as fantasy as i've played hours of realistic gekokujo) but you should try porting some models from koei's samurai warriors game series

Is there any chance we have an update on the possibility of this?

Would love it if you were to add Kishin/Hannya/Noh Masks to the game.. with big hair and horns...

Disagree with your opinion on the running animation wholeheartedly.

I would love it if every factions troops had uniquely colored armor. I would like to take off troop banner emblem things but in a mod like Gekokujo its impossible as it becomes a flurry of brown samurai

I feel as though it is worth adding that, with all due respect to your teams work, I will download the module and very likely cross the meshes over to my game when you release this mod regardless of what happens now. This is essentially just me asking for 'early access' to these fantastic meshes that I know I won't be able to resist using. :)

Not a problem at all. Thank you infinitely for your respect towards my initial question. I know not many mod authors would even reply to my further question, so I appreciate this very much regardless of the outcome. Thank you!! Get back to me at whatever time is convenient to you, I am in no rush. :)

Not a problem! To be completely honest, I'm overjoyed to see this is still in production. I stumble across far too many mods with enormous promise and potential only to find out that they're dead. Hey, this is a huge longshot and if the answer to my question is no then I completely understand, but.. Is there any chance I could get a private download link to the armors used in this mod? I have a modded gekokujo module file that I use and play with and add meshes to just for fun and these armors (mainly the unique helmets) would fit in so well. I customize almost all lords in troop.txt and to have Takeda Shingen in that helmet would be lovely. If I swear and promise to use this only for myself, to never under any and all circumstances redistribute the files, and of course never claim I own the meshes or make profit on them, could I use them to play around with? I know I sound desperate I hate it but I love the meshes lol. Thanks!!! <3

Do you project the release date of this mod to be within a matter of weeks or months, as a brief estimation? Seeing these armor pieces such as the Tiger of Kai's headdress or the Demon Kings helmet excites me!

Thats only Skyrims lore. I assume you only ever played Skyrim? Theres so, so much more to the TES lore. Skyrims lore isn't even remotely interesting in comparison to other events in the TES universe.

Is the projected release date to be within a matter of weeks or a matter of months?
