All factions playable for Sengoku campaign in Shogun 2 + improved faction selection menu, click read more to see more information.
Ohayo!
I want to show continuation of my previous All factions playable mod. I have decided to extend the fraction selection menu to make better management of space for users of wide screens. Now here's not only more space for factions buttons, but also for factions descriptions and descriptions of effects.
As previously, I did this menu for my main project: Last Alliance: Total War, but I did also version for vanilla campaign.
Like previously, minor factions don't have own traits, etc. The main part of the work was to expand and improve the UI. Because I'm mostly focused on my main project then I don't have plans to much expand this mod. However, I hope that for others this mod will be usesful, or to improve Sengoku campaign, or to make own overhaul mod.
Usage:
- Feel free to use this menu in your own projects. Just give me credits ^^ Moreover, here I published this menu in xml format so you can freely edit this (add different factions, etc.) ^^
Comtability:
- Mod isn't compatible with mods which edit startpos. So mods for more provinces, more turn per year, changed start date etc. In case of these mods are necessary to create another mod which would merge these mods into one.
Installation:
- Unpack (recommended use 7zip) and put in data folder of Shogun 2
- Run game and select all file in mod manager (if you don't have mod manager - subscribe any mod on workshop, mod manager should be downloaded automatically)
Notes:
- Because I had to change faction keys for Urakami, Yamanouchi and Ogigayatsu then if you use other language than English game will not show you names of this factions (You need create compatibility fix for your language version)
- If you want play as Ikko-ikki, Hattori or Otomo you need DLCs
- If you have problems to run mod then check Last Alliance Installation Guide - this is guide for my another, no-workshop mod, but you can find here solution for many problems

What about FotS and RotS?
Because in this campaigns is more minor factions than in vanilla = more work with edition of UI + in FotS case (and I hope that not in RotS case) is nessesary to change every of minor faction key, so I don't have time for it.
But you can try do own mod for RotS and FotS, check tutorials below ;)
I did tutorials how to make any faction playable and how to add more slots for factions (in these tutorials I use old ver of ui converter so are a bit outdated, but still should be useful - if I will find free time then I will update this):
TWCenter: Twcenter.net and Twcenter.net
TotalRTSmods: Totalrtsmods.com and Totalrtsmods.com
can you play as the wako pirates on this one?
Wako isn't fully functional faction. They even don't have any settlement on playable area of map. Adding them would means much additional work.
This mod is mostly resource for other projects. I did this expanded menu for my main mod, and I published this to give other modders more options to edit this game.
So, don't ask me to add here something else.
