I like the idea of implementing the Gusoku, I read some informations on internet. I think that it is the reuse of existing units scattered in the farms and other peasant activities (lumbering, stone working, fishing) on the Shikoku island. Those units are true samuraï that have lost a bit of their training but still have their equipments. Their number should be limited and their recruitment should be limited at the beginning of Chosokabe rise. I am working on some modifications and play test it.

shimazu zazen jin where a unit armed with matchlocks and spears with high morale that fought during the battle of sekigahara at sekigahara the shimazu army was attempting to withdrawal 300 zazen jin detach from the main army and fought the enemy by first shooting their guns then they charged at the enemy to stop their momentum only 80 of these samurai survive

takeda kiba gundan cavalry that uses a 8 foot long spear to charge in the front of yari ashigaru on the charge but uses a sword in melee during the battle of mikatagahara takeda shingen used this unit

ikko ikki might want these too

@Giant Rat: Thank you so much! I will do my bestest!

@General Pants Go for it dude. No problem!

Oh, by the way, they are too pricey because the stats don't line up with the ones I set up statistically, and because I feel Chosokabe should get a break on price. No criticism of your work implied.

Hi! I love these guys. I came up with a very similar idea, then realized they were really really similar to yours. I was trying to just set it up so my units were compatible with yours, but yours are too pricey, and I don't want the technology requirements. May I have permission to modify these and include them in the mod, perhaps expanding to a few additional units? I would naturally credit you, and I will actually have to credit you for the entire idea anyway, because yours is a) more strong historically, and b) at least a year older. No sweat if you'd rather not, I'll find some way around it, and still credit you.

bow?

should be

i am sorry if this already poster or not.

is it save compatible? thanks for the mod to, gonna use it in my Chosokabe run

@alemismun can combine with radious mod ?

Thank you!

@alemismun Superb choice of waifu btw

@alemismun Use as much as you need, don't even worry about it!

Hey Spiceeh, mind if I re-use some of your code?
Im trying to learn how to make mods but I had a hard time finding certain things (your mod appears to have them)
I will credit you of course, if I ever release anything.

@Robert_Bloodshadow, it does, I ensured it does.

Does this work in custom battle?

great mod !!!! =)

Thank you!!!

@Gestalt I love MoSS my guy, hell yeah, go for it.

@Hi Spiceeh,
Would you allow me to adapt this mod to Master of Strategy? I will give you the credits and a link to this mod in details, don't worry.

@Spiceeh Would be awesome to see some ashigaru units wearing Tatami Do, or the ninja of the Kumagakure-ryu tradition with their kama yari!
If you need other suggestions please message me here or on my Instagram Japan at War.
GREAT mod, keep it up.

i cant wait to try this mod out

@Hazori The Ichiryo Gusoku in real life, were actually precisely what they're described as when one says Samurai-Farmers. In the 16th century their class was basically destroyed, as they were told to either declare themselves as samurai, or farmers, saying that the two had to remain separate. I think it's only fair that their size, and stats, sit perfectly in-between the Farmers and Samurai. Which is why I settled on 180, not 160 like the Samurai units. They're strictly worse than the samurai, and strictly better than the farmers. Unless you Yari Wall. But then again Yari Ashigaru can win against Yari Samurai in Yari Wall as well, so.

very cool idea mate! but i think thats the units are to big ... wouldnt it be more realistic and even balanced if they were less then a ordinary units ?

Cool, I'm going to definitely try this out! The Chosokabe are one of my favorite factions in Shogun 2(Love me some archers!)

Hmm, you could make a bow unit that has higher accuracy but slower reload times than the bow samurai? i don't know... or maybe change its range a bit like 160 for example, better range than bow samurai but less than the warrior monks.

@-=] AoFA [=- Vindictive Brigand
I wanted to add a bow unit, since this is the Chosokabe we're talking about after all. But because of the 20 more man than the Bow Samurai, and with stats in-between them and the Ashigaru. And the fact that the damage bows deal is dependent on the projectile the unit uses, and not the stats. A bow unit with the same design philosophy, basically made Bow Samurai obsolete. Smaller cost, easier to obtain, less upkeep, and more DPS cause of the 20 more men.

@Gestalt
Man I'm glad you like it!

This is Japanes People's Army

Maybe add a bow unit? this one seems pretty nice imo.

I like the lore and unit (custom portrait also) :)
