This is an complete and very extensive overhaul of the campaign, almost nothing remains vanilla. It is intended for experienced players who want to play the campaigns again, with new possibilities, new challenges and a completely new experience. It is not
Main features
A complete revision of the economy system, including easier access to resources.
A very comprehensive overhaul of the campaign AI as well as the diplomacy.
Extensive changes to building effects and some changes to technology effects.
Extensive changes to units stats, unit sizes, garrisons, recruitment and upkeep costs.
Extensive changes to the battle mechanics.
Longer campaign, 12 turns per year and Kyoto must be held for two years to become shogun.
The pace of the campaign is slowed down considerably in the beginning - giving both you and the AI a chance to build up your forces and cities - instead of the mass region-swapping that was present in vanilla.
Careful consideration and long term planning will be rewarded, just as doing well on the battlefield will be a must to stay alive and have the power to push back.
It is carefully balanced, as a stand-alone mod. I strongly recommend you use this mod with only visual and/or audio mods running at the same time. Litterally hundreds of hours of testing and balancing has been put into giving a challenging experience, and to make sure the AI acts realistic.
Installation
Just unzip the file and place it in C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommontotal war shogun 2data
Uninstallation
Delete vragos_campaign.pack from C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommontotal war shogun 2data
Compatibility
For the time being, it is more or less intended as a stand-alone. All graphic and sound mods should work, but any unit or AI mods will conflict and ruin the balance of the campaign.
Before you start
It is not savegame compatible! You will have to start a new campaign.
It is not multiplayer compatible! If you want to play multiplayer and not risk your avatar, move the vragos_campaign.pack to a backup folder before launching the game.
Do not trust the encyclopedia. I have not updated it to reflect my changes. Read the tooltips - almost nothing is as it was in vanilla.
It is tested and balanced at hard difficulty.
Approach the campaign as if you never played it before.
