Peasant Ashigaru

Description
Following on from my Peasant Levies mod for FotS, this mod does a similar thing for Shogun 2, replacing bow, matchlock and yari models with peasants. Although I suppose a daimyo could order his troops to fight without armour, I doubt that this mod is that historically accurate, so don't download it if such things offend you. Please report any bugs in the comments below.

Edit: Seemingly endless commentators have already told me that 'ashigaru' means 'peasant'. I have no need of any further reminder.

damn, I wish they made two types of ashigaru, these guys and then the vanilla armored. Or have visual upgrades when their armor upgrades up a tier like in m2tw. This is historically accurate. Japan doesn't have as many metals, peasants would loot a burning house looking for nails. Even in Europe where metal was abundant, it was still expensive to armor all every peasant levy.

Ashigaru actually means light foot, yes it can mean light foot, but it can also mean a soldier that isn't a Samurai.

When you're so poor that even your ashigaru have no armor

Do you mind if I use the models in my mod that I might upload? I only use them for Ikko Ikki ashigaru. Also just to let you know this doesn't work for the Ikko Ikki because the model files are named incorrectly. Also whoever is saying ashigaru means peasant is wrong. Ashigaru means light feet. Funny thing is ashigaru were actually medium infantry by 1545.

Could you do this exact same mod with no changes to the outfits for FOTs, but obviously this time for levy
