Traditional (RotS) Samurai for Sengoku Campaign

This mod is included in Shogun 2 Enhanced - Units Module.

This mod adds Foot Samurai and Mounted Samurai units from Rise of the Shogun DLC to Sengoku Jidai (default) campaign. Both units are recruited through the Fort line, unit stats are balanced to fit better into Sengoku: Foot Samurai are worse archers than Bow Samurai and have less men, but sligtly better in melee, they will decimate Bow Ashigaru and also Yari Ashigaru in melee. Mounted Samurai are worse than Bow Cavalry and weak against Light Cavalry, but provide an early option without requiring stables. Both units have less ammo then their counterparts. The AI will also recruit this units.

While the aim is to diversify the early game, this is also more in line with how samurai fought in Sengoku period, where armies transitioned from samurai-based to ashigaru-based, the game has this in reverse. In this version of the mod, units are capped to one per province while each clan also has an innate +1 cap, i.e. a one province clan will be able to recruit 2 Foot Samurai and 2 Mounted Samurai, while a 2 province clan can recruit 3 of each. This is done to preserve the vanilla balance, it also fits in with my Dynamic Unit Caps mod which I'll upload soon.

-Update: Added units now use yari rather than swords for 1000% historical authenticity. Also helps to better differentiate them from Bow Samurai units.

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.
