The ultimate goal of this mod is to renew the Shogun 2 Total War experience while taking care to keep its original flavor. With this mod one tries to vary the different possible avenues for the characters (generals, ninja, metsuke, monk, etc.) and the clan (skill trees, technological tree, chain of buildings, etc) without complicating the game. Veterans and new players will be able to play this mod without the danger of facing an impossible learning curve. In addition aesthetic elements have been added for immersion improvement, as the name of all units have been changed to represent as closely as possible the terms used during the Sengoku Jidai and also new daimyo models have been introduced. So if you are interested in diving into this game that has aged very well and still manages to compete with the most recent Total War games, and if you are already bored with Three Kingdoms and you wish to play a real good game, Ultimate Immersive Mod is for YOU!
Huge map that expand the lifespan of the game and adds much to immersion, enriching the player's experience by 106 more regions and 103 more clans. The adventure will be slower, but so much more satisfying.
Many factions have their own specific units, for example most of Chosokabe gochi units have a bow they can fire before engaging in melee combat, the Shimazu have stronger and more disciplined gochi warriors, the Otomo are very westernize and can field a large amount of matchlock units (and Europeans units as well), the Hattori's ninjas are unmatched in all of Japan as well as the Takeda can field the biggest and strongest cavalry armies there ever was. As of the Ikko Ikki, it is said that wherever they go, cities and town are build at each of their stopovers. They ultimatly command the masses and pose the most incredible threat on the long run.
Diplomacy has been tweaked to make the player's experience more enjoyable while also not removing the excitement of a challenge. Realm divide will still occur, but this time your allies and long-time partners should not betray you if you do not give them reason. Here's a pro tip: take your damn time, do not rush! Or... well... die and don't whine.
- Alternate General Skills Tree
The generals' skill tree has been completely reinvented. It is now separated into 6 branches of expertise : diplomatic, nautical, military, martial, investment and sectarian (limited to Uesugi, Ikko Ikki and Otomo). Take your time to discover them, they could all be useful to you at some point and depending of your play style. Tips on how to play the sectarian tree will be added in a discussion thread eventually.
