Weierstrass Units for Vanilla [Part 1] Mod doesnt work with this. Texture messes up especially with Tokugawa's daimyo after you start a game on the campaign map he looks like a pokemon. @Tricosis

Messes up textures with any other unit mod

I'm currently making a mod for the Tercos and am trying to find where they are in the files. They do not appear to be in the unit_stats_land. Do you know where their data is?

what's with all the people not knowing that the tercio style was adopted by many european nations.

the spanish did invent it but their neighbors copied them well, including the portuguese.

I just readed a message from @Disquiet , fucking disgusting . The ships in 1800 were always the same kind , in 1500 you had some ships that look very similar too .There is no copy and paste .
And not the first ones to develop " a navy" . Many countries had ships you know?
Darkyteros Feb 9, 2022 @ 11:38am 
@Marshall Lannes , they are Portuguese not Spanish in the game .
Darkyteros Feb 9, 2022 @ 11:37am 
Not in the era the game starts , it happened 50 years later .

Tercios was spanish, Portugal form part of Spain

The tercio was a combined arms formation that included pikes, arquebusier, and swords.

Is it possible to extract these 3D models? If so how could i do that? They have a really good quality and i was thinking of using them for personal purposes. It would be perfect if they can be extracted in .fbx or .obj files, but i will manage to get that later.

Doesn't make sense to call them Tercios either, considering they were a formation af pike and shot, not just shot. If anything, they should be called arquebusieres or gunners, but CA calls the unit "Tercos", so the mod author is just following the developer's naming convention so people know what unit is being retextured
Marshal Lannes Jun 19, 2021 @ 7:07am 
Tercios? (Not tercos.)
Valmont Jan 4, 2021 @ 6:21pm 
On the original mod there was a bug with one of the Portuguese cannons, the most powerful one, wasn't able to move on the battle map, have you managed to fix that bug?
David Granptor May 5, 2020 @ 5:54pm 
no, they were in “real history”. What you are saying is that just because Spain had them Portugal can’t have. The Tericos were a Spanish force that were successful and so Portugal copied them. The same as happened throughout history

Thanks! Not going too overboard there. I want to keep the vanilla feel yet keep all the factions unique looking. Should hopefully come out soon now as I have gotten back from a long break of modding. Thanks for you support. :)
PolterJochen Mar 15, 2020 @ 2:30pm 
That's nice to hear! I don't really know what to expect since you haven't created other reskins but I'm very much looking forward to a complete reskin that has interesting variety and is semi-realistic, to the extent that this can be a thing in Shogun 2 lol
Tricosis  [author] Mar 15, 2020 @ 3:42am 
Oh boy is this a late response... The planned reskin mod is not abondoned, I just want to say that. It's difficult to pinpoint a release date. I have already finished the fundations quite some time ago, but tok a break from public modding as I got a little burnt out. If I put my focus on it, I could probably get it done within a week. Lack of motivation is what keeps that from happening tho. Luckily tho, I am getting back into things, so I assume I will very soon continoue the project. In that case, it might be a lot closer than you think. Sorry for the late response, I didn't really get notified and just realised now that you had commented. Hope this answers it. c:
PolterJochen Dec 7, 2019 @ 6:20am 
Much better than the plain clones in vanilla. So how is your big shogun 2 reskin mod progressing?Any estimated release date?
Tricosis  [author] Nov 9, 2019 @ 1:00pm 
This mod doesn't add new units but reskin an already existing one in order to create variety. The unit is called Portuguese Tercos and can only be recruited by Otomo.
Lopez Nov 9, 2019 @ 12:43pm 
hi having some trouble donot play this total war alot cannot fond the new units or any dlc units. btw i have all dlcs

Johntitor88, no, they were in “real history”. What you are saying is that just because Spain had them Portugal can’t have. The Tericos were a Spanish force that were successful and so Portugal copied them. The same as happened throughout history
Tricosis  [author] Aug 13, 2019 @ 6:12am 
Nice, thanks for the heads up! I will consider the alternatives and perhaps change it at a later date! Appreciate it!

You wrote a quote from a spanish conquistador.
Since the troops are portuguese it could have been

"The weapons and the barons marked, That of the western Lusitana beach, By seas never before sailed,"

or

"Hardened in perils and wars, more than human strength promised,
And among remote people they built a new kingdom"

~From the Lusiadas of Luis de Camões

I understand your point! I've actually already made a fixed version for myself, but I'm debating weather or not to upload it as it has a lot of copyright material. I really don't want to risk getting into trouble. I could do you a personal favor tho and send you a fixed version. Just add me and I'll help you out. :)
Matthew39 Aug 1, 2019 @ 7:59am 
I would like to upload the Bullgod's Daimyo mod, which gives Daimyos more historical look, but I'm new to the uploading stuff so maybe you could do it? The version included in the Darthmod lacks the new model for Otomo Sorin, and the versions uploaded on the workshop have some issues, for example Takeda Shingen with a mask or lacking Oda Nobunaga model. Could you upload it in future?
Károly Jun 16, 2019 @ 12:24pm 
Gonna act like im a conquistador now..
Tricosis  [author] Jun 3, 2019 @ 3:05am 
It's an unit exclusive to the Otomo clan. You'll need the Otomo DLC in order to use them. All they require is a Nanban Quarter. You can get them quite quickly since the Otomo starts out with a Nanban Trade Port, but it's generally more advicable to deconstruct and reconsturct the quarter over at Buzen in order to get an accuracy bonus. :)

how do you obtain these tactical mercenary columns?
sirnori Jun 1, 2019 @ 2:47am 
Thanks enormously old chap.
Or rather,
Muito obrigado velho.
Tricosis  [author] Jun 1, 2019 @ 2:28am 
Hey, sirnori! There is already a mod for that! Check it out: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=882574632&searchtext=portuguese+voice
sirnori May 31, 2019 @ 9:42pm 
Very nice. Would it be possible to make them use the Portuguese voice lines from ETW/NTW instead of English with a strong upper-class English accent?
johntitor88 May 30, 2019 @ 11:41am 
ok sorry in the game i dont know but in real history are spanish
Rem wake up May 29, 2019 @ 7:42pm 
Tercos were literally just the Portuguese version of Tercio's. Not to mention after 1580 Portuguese tercios were a thing because Spain gobbled up Portugal.

Good mod though
Disquiet May 29, 2019 @ 5:49pm 
Yes the Portuguese Tercos were based in the Spanish Tercios so what, was Spain the first foreign western country to arrive in Japan and influence their history ?

No it was Portugal along with the Portuguese Tercos and not the Spanish Tercios because Spain was not in Japan in the XVI century.

Portugal was the first country to develop a navy I guess the Spanish navy was also just a rip off version of the Portuguese Navy.
baba May 29, 2019 @ 6:57am 
MojoMiner01, manuto73.. Do the both of you even have the OTOMO DLC? They are called the Portuguese Tercos by the game developers.
You think CA actually gave a rats ass if Tercos were Spanish or Portuguese or if they all had the EXACT SAME FACE since they released this DLC nearly 10 years ago? Go sue them or something if it bothers you. Jesus.
Tricosis  [author] May 29, 2019 @ 5:12am 
Dude, this is just a reskin. This unit already exists in the game. Take it up with CA.
MojoMiner01 May 29, 2019 @ 4:40am 
exactly, they had a rip off version called Tercos
johntitor88 May 29, 2019 @ 4:24am 
the tercios were not Portuguese ... they were Spaniards. Everybody knows. Portugal had no tercios ..
Tricosis  [author] May 29, 2019 @ 1:46am 
What?
johntitor88 May 29, 2019 @ 1:40am 
THE TERCIOS ARE SPANISH....
Tricosis  [author] May 28, 2019 @ 7:24am 
Hey, aetius71! That depends if I get permission from the creator of the portugal mod. It's quite a simple task that I believe would be easy for him to do himself if so be, so I advice you to ask there first. If he don't want or don't have time for it, I might ask for permission and see what I can do. :)
Tricosis  [author] May 26, 2019 @ 10:55pm 
Haha, I know the size of the file is a problem. Most of it is unused textures. I am working on fixing that problem. :) Thanks for the kind words tough, really appreciate them!
baba May 26, 2019 @ 9:49pm 
Thank you for creating this, it is a rare thing to find when most have moved on from Shogun 2!
It took me a while to find bullgod's mod previously as well, but it was amazing and I'm glad I did.

I've tried yours and I believe you have done a great job in adding more variety to bullgod's work.
You re-textured every detail? As your file is 3 times the size of bullgod's. haha

I look forward to seeing more of your mods!
