Does this mod still work in 2022?
The_Yogi  [author] Mar 27, 2019 @ 7:07am 
no. they're hero units

Thanks a lot man. And I agree. Thats why my mod only touches upon Heroes. Normal units are left default :)
That way the best units stand out too. Thanks a lot, man. Great work :)

Sure, go ahead, as long you give credits
Let me tell you however, I'm not a fan of "Elitizing" everything reskins (every units get armour that looks heavier even though its not period or role appropriate) - but well, each to their own - Its the spirit of modding that anyone can do whatever they want. I mean, I am doing what I want.
Khârn the Betrayer Nov 20, 2018 @ 4:52pm 
Hey man. I'm the creator of the Elite Samurai Reskin mod. I'd love to add your head models here into my mod for Onna Bushi + heroines.
Can I get your permission to use your texture models? I love how you removed make up and isolated cinematic faces + Dancer ones. Very very well done :)

Is there a way to edit the .pack file to make them avaialale in campaign for another faction, like the Jozai? I saw the obvious category in the mod and added an additional 4 lines to allow the 2 new units to Jozai, but still can't unlock them as a recruitment option in campaign. Please advice?

@RobertDeHales
Gratulation for your history knowledge. Yes.

Is this a FotS mod?

Love this mod because it adds more female units. I just wish there were more female unit mods for fall of the samurai, for other regions.
Cyber Jesus Feb 12, 2016 @ 1:03am 
for some reason these units are not showing up to recruit I have the right buildings (legendary dojo the upgraded samurai master dojo, star fort the upgraded citadel, and the firing range) and am playing the right faction (Aizu) might I have to restart my campaign? or am I missing something? they do show up in custom battles

... Sigh.. "clan" I meant caste. :^)
YutaniKaede Feb 2, 2016 @ 4:06pm 
Just found this, thought this a decent place to share it :) About "Onna Bugeisha" Onna of the Bushi clan. :P Am I getting it wrong?

ty for your quick response, thought so with the rifle Joshigun
The_Yogi  [author] Jan 19, 2016 @ 10:09am 
Yes
Skakk Jan 19, 2016 @ 9:09am 
Is this for FOTS only?
YutaniKaede Jul 13, 2015 @ 12:11pm 
Thanks alot Yogi ^^ I've played to end-modernization part of the game, and I've only found the melee hero ^^ Going to make the ranged one now :D Thanks again, great mod giving a little flavor to the game ^^

Naginata Joshigun: Samurai Master Dojo

YutaniKaede Jul 13, 2015 @ 7:26am 
I'm surely just missing it due to myself failing. But can someone tell me what buildings enable these units? I don't see them in the tech window, so is it through the dojo? what tier?
Dr.Funkenstein Feb 3, 2015 @ 6:41am 
This is just pretty awesome...
Yeazzal Jan 21, 2015 @ 3:09pm 
i'm sick of turning down Greedy Wifes and such
Yeazzal Jan 21, 2015 @ 3:08pm 
It would be interesting to have recruitable wifes
Sully The Sailor Dec 12, 2014 @ 11:22pm 
I'd like to see a whole pack of fighting women! That'd be interesting and different.
rougamaru Nov 27, 2014 @ 2:44pm 
Honestly, someone should expand on this idea and create an all female samurai clan,
Historical accuracy be damned! Ya'll know there's plenty O' folks who'd play that.
LilithAkemi Oct 21, 2014 @ 11:23pm 
It is also not unheard of to bring women out to meet the enemy in the field when times are desparate, such as during...total war, when every man woman and child in the society has to put thier all into a single conflict. It is sort of ironic that the series, depsite the title has never actaully given you the chance to truly wage total war
The_Yogi  [author] Oct 21, 2014 @ 4:12am 
No.

But I might do Garrison Unit version of them for another clans - In real life, Aizu Women fought; however it is not an impossiblility that Women from another fiefdoms would too if they were involved in a siege of their homeland.
LilithAkemi Oct 18, 2014 @ 4:40pm 
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Let me spam these awsome chicks, I beg of you to release a no restrictions version of this mod so I can build a aizu fem rifle army
LilithAkemi Oct 18, 2014 @ 4:39pm 
This looks amazing!
How can I get more female units for me FOTS army, there dont seem to be many around in the workshop
MangyMinotaur Oct 18, 2014 @ 3:54am 
Those faces are just top quality! Awesome work, Installing shogun 2 all over again just for this!
Mervis Oct 16, 2014 @ 11:07pm 
Glad to have more diversity in my army!
Nosferatu.666 Oct 16, 2014 @ 3:59pm 
AWSOME , i just finished the jdrama yae no sakura (life of Yaeko Yamamoto) , thx for this mod !
WalrusJones Oct 13, 2014 @ 7:51pm 
@Flack I did a little bit of both, with their formation limiting their melee effectiveness, and their matchlocks limiting their ranged effectiveness. However, they are genuinely skilled fighters both close and far.
The_Yogi  [author] Oct 13, 2014 @ 7:48pm 
About Number in a Unit, 72 is already a generous number for Hero units - most only have 40.

Yes, They are skirmishers and not meant to fight in line.
Royeaux Oct 13, 2014 @ 5:26pm 
@MagicalSmallrusWalrusJones I'd reccomdend making the matchlock kachi in FotS to be a hybrid range-melee unit. That way they can let loose a barrage before impact of battle, and still do well in close-quarters.

The problem with skirmishers in Total War games is that the AI rarely only sends a spoiling force to attack you, or hold a strong position. Most of the time, the AI attacks with the entire army at the same time making skirmishing pointless.
WalrusJones Oct 13, 2014 @ 12:53pm 
Flack, I am assuming that the rifles are skirmishers: Their naturally loose formation allows them to have all ranks fire.

A style of unit that is almost entirely lacking in FOTS. (I am considering rewriting matchlock kachi to be skirmishers just so they have a purpose.)
Royeaux Oct 12, 2014 @ 7:01pm 
I do wish the Yamamoto Yaeko Rifle unit had soldiers assigned to it, a 72 unit regiement in an ultra battle makes then hopelessly outnumbered against even miltia. I also sort of wish they could allowed to form a line. One of my strategies is to mix my battle line with rifles to reduce the ability for the enemy to skirmish them, which gets annoying if the Onna Bushi unit wont form line, and make a vunurable point for cavalry to charge.
dagezou Oct 11, 2014 @ 9:42pm 
You can see the women of Aizu in the TV movie Byakkotai as well. In it they train some of the Byakkotai in firearms. It was funny because Aizu men back then weren't allowed to talk to women they weren't related to in public so they had to not speak at all while learning. You can also see them fighting with naginata in the fall of Aizu.

I say sir, an amazing Mod, you have!
Kami Oct 11, 2014 @ 1:06am 
Dammit moon moon, I really hate that legs. You can see it looks a little weird when they kneel.
I would prefer the normal samurai legs than the hakama.
