Thank you very much for this mod! I have stumbled on it while looking for a mod to replace modded unit cards in a large overhaul (Steam version of Darthmod lacks the launcher to disable them) with vanilla-style ones, and your mod does that in spades. And on top of that, your unit cards look slightly sharper, cleaner, somehow easier on eyes than vanilla - in a word, beautiful.

Hi Orendiz, mod is great. However the unit cards are very bright when selecting them. Anyway to fix this issue? Thank you.

i know some people are being sticklers for appearance matching models, but this mod is actually insanely helpful. I've been getting more and more into playing Ikko Ikki lately on my more recent campaigns, and this makes organizing my armies where I have ashigaru of my own mixed with foreign ashigaru much much easier to sort out. All your updates to the cards are very faithful to the original art style while still improving their visual quality and accuracy. Great mod thank you .

btw, can we also change cards in info folder? Since I see it didn't get change in rpfm. Also, another idea is perhaps we can make garrison units having icons to marking them? I saw other mod done this and I think it's a good idea

@Ardir I think it's just you didn't get a better idea of making them "unique". I love what author did with it, because I also using unit remodel mod with editing them myself, and actually makes ikko ikki's ashigaru into bunch of farmer and Sohei wearing armor poorly, and it looks absolutely good for gameplay or historical accuracy whatever else. You know, if you really can't accept it doesn't look like the same as your game does. Either having some unit remodel mods like me or simply just don't use this mod.

Ps:Ps not every ashigaru gets the sohei. Not the commander nor the bannercarrier. It means it's still unit comprised of peasants that by the way are fanatic. They don't get to wear monks' robbes nor shoes and there's still a samurai that leeds 'em. But yeah, they get a sohei.

The argument that you 'wont' is the thing that you've beaten when creating this mod. Sir, you're the very reason we are now sending emojis and virtual hugs in this comment section. All of this would not exist if u were that day to follow the phrase "But I wont".

In short, I disagree, and without diving into the technicalities, you are, were and will be free to exceede the expectations and since that's the case it is up to you as well ⳰⛨⳱

Ps: the ikko ikki also get a little Sohei hood thingy not just a recolor :)

The ikko ikki clan is the only clan to get separate ashigaru units both visually and somewhat functionally from the rest. Since this is the case, they are the only ones i can give a new unit card that looks differently from the rest that reflects their clan's identity. As in: peasant uprising/ikko ikki rebel faction. Without diving into the technicalities, i can with a lot of work make a unique ashigaru card set for each faction with their faction color. But i wont 🙃, It also fits better in my opinion since ashigaru don't differ from faction to faction and the idea remains the same through all factions "peasant conscripts" which would imply in a way some sort of uniformity as apposed to the rebel peasants which would stand out.


In short, i disagree, and due to some technicalities i can only do it for the ikko ikki and i think it's better that way. If you don't like it you are free to not play with my mod.

"regular ashigaru have greyish-green clothes"? On the cards only... unless spawned as ikko-rebels, then not only on cards. Well, I see how unfortunate it is that the only clan that in minimum at least reflects units - depicted in cards - is the Ikko-ikki. Nonetheless, it's not well-thought to ignore this fact and simply repaint clothing on cards to orange. It doesn't fulfil the intention behind the mod Sir

It's meant to reflect their clan mon/crest/icon color, the regular ashigaru already have the greyish-green clothes for their clothes.

fellas, but ikko-ikki uses greyish-green for their ashigaru's clothing. That's why this orange-ish card does the opposite of the intended

yep, that's what i thought. Only Oda clan has the original katana ashigaru card though, really weird!

ultimate immersive mod uses the ikko ikki loan sword ashigaru for the katana ashigaru instead of the mp katana ashigaru, that's why it displays the ikko unit card.

since I am using the ultimate immersive mod, in which all factions have the katana ashigaru, all of them show this unit with the turban as if they were ikko ikki :/ sucks

all except Oda...for whatever reason lol it's the only faction that shows the the old unit card

love this mod very unique keep it up! brings a fresh breath of air to the vanilla game

I wish you can make a ver which yari ashigaru units differently, the spear shouldn't be jumon-ji (neither in my game, I change it with other mods), they basically have the same as yari samurai, or longer one like oda's. It just so bothering me that every peasants have jumon-ji spear while it wasn't make for them, it would be samurai and monk warrior to use it since it's not for group battle

Hmm i see, that could enable custom oda ashigaru cards, shimazu sam, indeed. Nice

Thanks

Yep, I was right. If you change the 'filename for a unit' in the 'uniforms_table', you can give it a different unit card by naming the respective unit card images:

Ah, I've been looking a bit into it myself, and I see the difficulty. I assume they way it works is that the game assigns unit cards to units based on the uniforms table. I might look into that a bit more later.

i was looking at other mod's on how they do it and i somewhat understand it better but i'm not motivated enough to add much to the mod atm.

It means when i change the samurai unit card it also changes the shimazu samurai unit card i think.

What do you mean exactly that they are linked to the same unit? As far as I can see, clan specific units could easily use custom variants and unit cards

I love this so much. Essential for Ikko Ikki playthroughs!

Thanks for the reply dev codek.
Hmm was only familiar with Rome 2 onwards modding. Ah they have separate unit entries, but share unit card allocation?

It does seem that Shogun 2 has limitations where you can't replace existing text and tables very easily, unlike the new TW games.

I would even make unique cards for oda and otomo but they are all linked to the exact same unit card so i cant make individual changes.

@Moon Hoplite

Ty, yeah i though about that but unfortunately there isn't separate unit cards for them like Shimazu_katana_samurai unit card like how the ikko ikki have.

This is great
@dev codek, There are faction variants of standard units which share the same unit cards and battle models but only differ in slight stats. For example, Shimazu Katana Samurai, Oda Ashigaru, Mori ships etc. Unique unit cards for those would help add a lot of variety/diversity to aesthetics.

I'm currently more interested in working on other projects. Tbh i'm also just not sure what other unit cards i can change to improve the game. if you have any suggestions ill keep it in mind when i finish the other project.

Is this mod still being worked on?
Its a pretty amazing work honestly

Ill be separating the ikko ikki unit cards into an addon split into 2 parts due to an upcoming mod that i want to make compatible and also add some preference options since this clan has unique cards. There will be the standard green ikko ikki and the original orange ikko ikki.

The new update should be out now!
Note: I'm trying to see if i can make a separate monk cards for the Ikko ikki, so far it looks only half possible and while the ikko ikki monk card is different, the different level up/rank cards apply to all monks. ill probably revert the changes later when i get some sleep.

Not really a mod I'm really looking for, but I've noticed the vanilla unit cards aren't accurate with the details, like yari ashigaru having the same spear and yari samurai on the card in vanilla. Looks nice, good luck!

New update coming tomorrow!

Arigato Gozaimasu!

woa.. this is great

I changed my Ikko Ikki Ashigaru in my HD mod to match your UI mod... Because I find it quite... Interesting...

Yeah i figured, but Ancient Colors is also a re-skin mod and it does not seem to change anything stat wise or with unit cards yet it breaks my mod. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

because Shogun 2 HD pack does not affect gameplay or even change the Unit's UI...

♥

I really like the little tweaks you have done. This is now added to essential mods for me! Thank you again.

Hello again. In my collection, your mod does not conflict with anything and everything is displayed correctly

Ok after my tests it seems that Unit cards+ will either overwrite other unit cards mods or just wont work at all. Let me know if i'm wrong though with other unit card mods. Also bizarrely when i used the mod Ancient Colors | Emblem Of War EDITION (2020) 1-2 the unit cards worked everywhere except when in battle. i don't know if that's the case for most unit recolor/re texture because shogun 2 HD units pack works does not cause any issues.

also i only own the ikko ikki and Sengoku Jidai Unit Pack dlc. so although i can still change the icons of other dlc units i cant test to see if they work as intended. as for conflict with other unit cards mods, i'm still in the middle of testing but it seems yes it will.

Thank you very much, this mod is very valuable for my build, I will wait for every update. On my part, of course, the like and the reward: 3

9S
i'm planning on updating as many cards as i can which includes dlc cards hero cards and cav units . however not every single unit will be fully updated or updated at all. i might add some things like face masks on dlc hero units and update some armor parts but no promises.

great mod! Thank you so much!! Please do for the Hero Units as well ^^

Thank you, looking forward to the next few updates.

Hello, will the unique unit and hero cards from the DLC be replaced, and will the original heroes from the regular game be replaced? And will this mod conflict with other unit card mods?
