Kami Katana cheat units for Chosokabe

TO USE CHEAT UNITS FOR ALL FACTIONS, CHECK THE DESCRIPTION OF THIS MOD:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=899225536


A powerful samurai unit for the Chosokabe faction in the vanilla version of Shogun 2. These samurais have the following stats:

*500 soldiers/unit
*50 morale
*55 melee
*55 melee defense
*20 armor
*65 range

Additionally, they have a recruitment cost of 1 gold for both campaign and custom battles, an upkeep cost of 1 gold and can be recruited at the start of the game. They also have the ability to scare enemies and horses. Being samurais, they are slightly weaker against ranged units. Their biggest weakness, however, has to deal with with the fact that each unit is 500 soldier strong, which makes them very unwieldly when you want them to climb over a wall during a siege.

As the title suggests, this mod only works with the Chosokabe faction. In turn, AI can create Kami Katanas if you don't play as Chosokabe on the campaign. However, you can easily modify the pack file so that you can use Kami Katanas with other factions. To do that,

1) Download and install Pack File Manager (I use version 4.1.2)
2) After starting up Pack File Manager, go to your data folder (by default, it is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Total War SHOGUN 2\data) and open up KamiKatanaChosokabe.pack
3) On the left-hand panel, click on the plus buttons by db and cdir_unit_qualities_tables, and then single click cdir_unit_qualities.
4) On the right-hand panel, you will see a table for cdir_unit_qualities. Under the config_key column, you will see the faction that the Kami Katana (named AA_Katana in the pack file) is aligned with. Change the config_key value to that of another faction. The other factions are date, iga_ninja (internal name for Hattori), hojo, ikko_ikki, mori, oda, otomo, shimazu, takeda, tokugawa and uesugi.
5) Back to the left-hand panel, now click on the plus buttons by units_to_exclusive_faction_permissions_tables and single click the entry for units_to_exclusive_faction_permissions.
6) In the right-hand panel, under the column faction, change the faction to the one you want to use.
7) Go to file -> save as and save your new mod
8) Go to mod manager and select your newly created mod. Make sure you don't have the other Kami Katana mods running unless you want to face off against Kami Katanas in the campaign.
