DarthMod: Shogun II v5.0
If it was not your valuable feedback and your continuous support, this version would have never been available. This last mod proudly represents my final work for the Total War series. All DarthMods will be finalised and will not be updated anymore unless it is needed.
Darth Vader of TWCenter.Net
Special New in v5.0 (Finale Edition)
- 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- Removed outdated submods: (Superghostboy mod, Ftmch Retexture mod, Unit Variety, Toon's Bows).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=

A preview of the added mods
Many of you asked to add the following mods to DarthMod: Shogun II and now finally you have them!
Alternative Clan Colours by Demokritos
A must have mod for every player of Total War: Shogun 2. After the thorough research of Demokritos, the author, all units of Sengoku period have realistic uniform and banners colors.
Just pay attention to these images. Do you see the difference? Soldiers have much more variety in appearance thanks to the magnificent touch of =Vastator=. All Sengoku period of every DLC have this careful design.

You aren't going to mod Rome 2? I will probably love Rome 2 but I was really excited to see what you did with it too. Either way you made some really great content, all of these modders did.
So thank you for producing these I will always have fond memories of beating my friends to a pulp while using your mods.
Small launcher hotfix available.

"...final work for the Total War series" So no DarthMod: Rome II? that's sad to hear, in any case thanks a lot for your work.
this is irritating,i can't play your mod,it automatically CTD while initially loading at startup......same happens to Darthmod Napoleon where it crashed at startup loading screen,no one will help or post a fix? and please don't tell me the very unhelpful things like update your windows or your sound drivers because that is common sense.
YMMV but I had the same problem with Darthmod in Empire and after trying everything, I reduced my settings to High and it's been working fine ever since...
After purchasing all the shogun 2 DLC during the summer sales I decided to give the game another shot.
Fresh shogun 2 install
Darthmod V 5.0 Full install
No matter which mod configuration I choose with the darthmod, the game crashes on loading. Tips on how to get the mod running would be highly appreciated.
I have the exact same issue. :(
Fully delete the game from your computer, then reinstall it it worked for me.
Uahoo :)
Darth, thanks so much for all you have done for the Total War series players..
The vanilla games can not compete against your work, seriously, your mods were the only reason I kept playing Total War games.
Thanks for this "Last" update, and thanks for all the work you have put into this.

I, as everyone here, repect your choice, but keep in mind that you will be missed, you, and your work :(
I wish you the best for your future projects, whatever they will be.
Farewell Darth, your name will live forever in the true Total War players. :')
