Please add fire by rank to matchlock monks (Ikko Ikki & Uesugi)

pls update my ninja thanks

please update

I know nothing about warfare at that time (I am willing to learn), but I think the most reasonable way to act would be using fire by rank against stationary troops and point-blank kneel fire against charging troops (specially cavalry). I would like if there's a way to reduce the range of kneel fire (if necessary) and make the AI prefer it over fire by rank against charging melee trops.
I also read somewhere in wikipedia that kneel fire where usually made in ranks of three (insteat of two), and the british at some period started to kneel fire in ranks of two so the first line soldier would'nt be required to knee (which does'nt seems to make any sense), but i think that would be better for another mod so players would be able to choose which ones they want.

I still think this mod Total War Fall of the Samurai is a must allong side IGdood's bayonets mod.

I want to add a change to my last comment:

The ashigaru in shogun 2 are so slow at reloading that they simply dont benefit from reloading their 2 first rows to fire.They dont make it in time! Also their accuracy contributes to that when their fisrt 2 rows finally get their guns reloaded, which as I stated before is a little bit 2 late, then the second volley doesn't go of completely. Tried it on the samurai and kneelfire was immediatly much more effective than fire by rank!

Fire by rank seems to be more accurate than kneelfire. I tried adding kneelfire to shogun 2 ashigaru and tried em out on katana samurai on max unit cap but the result was dissapointing. The fire by rank abbility seemed slighlty better. the fire by rank has much better accuracy than the rapid kneelfire ability and on my third volly i routed the samurai with fire by rank, however I lost 20 men before they rooted on kneelfire.

STATISTICS:
kneelfire: 160-108-54 lost 20 men and then samuria broke -> faster killing speed at start gives advatnage over missile troops

fire by rank: 160-118-73-34 lost no men and enemy broke -> better against charges

make a mod that adds modern foot units please for fots i like to cheat but no tanks tho.

can you help me find a way to get more player money for fots?10000 per turn would help.Im trying to make an democracy but its too hard as is.Iv already beat game so out for fun.

fire by rank can't beat kneel fire, tested in game

Btw the steam workshop version is a downgrade form the regular version you can find on the internet.

Darthmod is a mod that improves Ai, adds better, less cartoony textures to units, adds beautifil smoke affects to the guns, and you also have the option to increase the amount of men (or women) to the units.

Also,what's darthmod?

Does this work in multiplayer?

Thank you so much. Such an essential upgrade for Darthmod.

Play it through steam and it will bring up a mod window so you may decide what you would like to play with.

Sorry for my ignorance, but how do you apply this mod for Fall of the Samurai? I have downloaded it, but when I play the game, none of my units have Fire by Rank. Please help me!!

does not work in coop people boooooo:(

Fire by rank was used in the 1860s I dont think you understand 'Mr.soul'....

sound off ! 1 & 2, 1 & 2, 1 & 2, 1 & 2.......

yeah i agree with the free man, though kneel fire provides more fire rate the rank fire is more accurate however my guys are getting torn apart faster against an equal enemy force that is using kneel fire

Hey can you make one where any base unit, like levies, do not have the ability? They should all be lucky their guns worked and didn't blow up in their faces. Also any way it can be made into a resesarch or added on to one of the western agenda researches as it would make more sense and make it something you could use to your advantage in the course of the campaign. I always rushed fire by rank in empire and was a little pissed at how they handled it in shogun 2, its how I win india with 1 army.

Added the ability to White Tiger Force.

Great mod, but I wish the delay before shooting is just a bit shorter.

The White Tiger force doesn't seem to have it available but every other units I have tried has it.

absolutely amazing... can't believe this isn't already in the game. who the hell wants to cart around 3,000 troops when 2,000 of them just stand idle! what a joke, they really half-assed this expansion but this mod at least makes it playable. thank you so much

nice I was waiting for a mod to do this. Makes no sense why they dropped this tactic from a game which is historically 100 years after the game where the tactic is from haha Extremely useful at long range/in a match with two conventional armies

Happy you enjoy it.

Pretty cool mod. @ people who think Fire by Rank is usless.
Fire By Rank is Very Strong at long range, and Kneel fire is powerfull at Medium-Short range.
This mod is very usfull, because I can destroy enemys at Far with Fire by Rank, and then right before they clash into me, I use Kneel Fire with Suppressive Fire!

Well done Lord Unicorn!

Andrew has it right. I think some prefer rank fire to kneel fire aswell beacuse it looks better aesthetically.

To my knowledge, kneel fire does the first two ranks firing at a normal rate while rank fire allows three ranks to fire in a volley but with a lowered reload time. So the trade off is kneel fire is a constant stream of a lesser volume of fire while rank fire is a lower output, but those volleys pack quite a punch.

dont they originaly have a kneel fire whats the point for this ?
