freelancerX's Better Ambush Deployment (FotS & RotS compatible)

Description
This mod is included in Shogun 2 Enhanced.

Allows closer deployment on ambushes, so that the defender cannot easily regroup as it was in the vanilla. This mod was made by freelancerX on TWC forums, but the link was dead so I re-uploaded it, after by isolating the files in DarthMod and TROM3, hence all credit goes out to freelancerX.

If you enjoy this mod, rate it! Rating brings more subscribers and (hopefully) more feedback, which'll lead to better mods. Check my workshop for similar mods that enhance the vanilla game.


KNOWN ISSUES:
Units with guerrilla deployment (mostly Hattori ashigaru and samurai, see the list below) will not benefit from this mod and they'll be deployed as in Vanilla (sometime with even less room for maneuver). A fix is here:

Compression done, hopefully this will be the final update

So I finally got FotS, and it seems this mod didn't affect it as Boshin maps weren't included in my original source (Darth). Thankfully I was able to source those from TROM3, so the mod now supports FotS. It's really neat, you can start firing as soon as you start the battle, like an actual ambush.

The mod file got significantly larger though, I'm guessing the files from TROM weren't compressed or sth like that. I'll look into it when I have the time, it doesn't affect functionality.

Alright, the fix is up https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2215475119

@Kapal Kalyo Yeah it does.
@aetiues71 I'll be another mod today which'll fix Hattori deployment, but there's a compromise.

Is this still working?
nobubblegums  [author] Nov 19, 2017 @ 8:24pm 
Ah, I remember reading about that. Will add that to description. I guess there is no workaround though, aside from giving Hattori a new trait. Let me know if you have any ideas.

Moreover, Hattori clan originally has an advantage that can deploy closer to enemies than other clans; however, this mod gives Hattori a penalty rather than more advantages.

It does not work in Hottori clan that has an own unique deployment
