Alright, I'm just dumb. This mod works, but you have to delete the Shogun 2 folder in the %APPDATA% folder. That, and keep it towards the top of your load order.

Unfortunately I can't get this mod to work, even when reverting to an older version of the game. It's a shame, I used to love it.

Can we still perform yari wall?

Can you make a mod using long yari? I think it is more in line with history and has a sense of substitution.Please.

Could you also replace the Yari Samurai's weapon plz?

Awesome. Please make a short yari for Light Cavalry mod.

Thank you.

I figured it out! Thanks for the mod, dude.

See, I did, but I still can't figure it out. I suppose I'm not tracking it well enough, because I thought I had changed the melee skeleton, animations, and weapon type, but it didn't do anything.

@The Courier To be honest, I do not remember as it has been years since I touched Shogun 2. I would just open the file and look at the edits I have done.

How did you do this? I wanted to make some Portuguese units use pikes instead of their swords in close combat, and I can't figure out what animation tables to change

@Cheapstall Mods should work for MP. You are both using the exact same mods?

I think the load order of mods have to be identical too, and the way that works in SHogun 2 is that the load order is decided by what order you activate the mods in the launcher.

So I would launch and deactivate all mods and have both of you activate the same mods in the same order. See if that helps.

I love this mod and have been using it for years. however, iv noticed when i try to use the mod for co op my friend and i cant connect. still works in single play though. do you know what this could be? Thanks again for this mod.

Are you using any other mods? If so I would see if any of those mods are incompatible with this one. Try disabling them and see if that fixes the problem.

Why is not working , they still fking use katana to kill on the battel ? a Spear man using katana to combat is so shame !

Love this mod

is this save game compatible?

@2646319305 Try disabling other mods you are using and re-enable one at a time and you might find what conflicts with this one.

why it doesnt work ?

bruh the jumonji yari is what they used though...

affect FOTS?

is possible to get normal yari but original length

it is so good,can you add chinese,share it mod for more people

I love this mod.

Great mod. Changes nothing about the in-game behavior, just removes the pitchforks. Highly recommended. Great with the armored shogun packs.

Do the yari ashigaru still work like normal in spear wall? Looking for a mod like this, but so far all of them seem to break the yari spear wall /no longer functions correctly. They stand in spear wall formation but don't continuously attack like vanilla game.

Alright. Thanks for the info.

@Vassal of the Wan Clan

That is a good question, but it has been so long since I modded Shogun 2 that I don't really remember exactly how weapons where added to the units. Although I think it was done via a table entry so it may not be possible as I believe you can only edit one entry for each unit. It is possible with the newer games in the series but I just can't remember how it worked in Shogun 2.

Maybe if you delve into the flag bearer and captain units and how they work. Because they use different weapons but is part of the same unit.

Is it possible to make a mod that gives each ashigaru soldier a random spear out of the sugu and jumonji types? IRL different clans and units had widely varying lengths and types, but I've never seen a mod for Shogun 2 that has weapon variations within a unit (except for the officer and standard bearer).

@Enkeli Kuoleman As far as I know there has not been any updates to the game so it should work. Do you use any other mods? If so they might be incompatible with this mod.

Dont work more :c

@merwanor
Hey, this is quite a long time after you've made the mod to ask, but could you make a standalone mod that has just the "Makes Yari/Oda Long Yari Ashigaru units fight with their spears instead of with their swords" with the addition of applying it to yari samurai?

@merwanor, i fix it. ya some other mod rape your mod so it cannot work.

@Geroge Dang, are you sure you are not using a new mod or something that might be incompatible? Have not heard of this game getting patched in years.

i think this mod is broken due to some new update or st. now i can't see them using katana instead of spear

this look more real ashigaru than using a katana

@Cvlsoldier I am not familiar with that mod, but I would guess that there is a compatability issue with one of your mods. For instance, if you are using any mods that alters stats for the ashigaru units it will not be compatible as they edit the same table entries as this mod does.

Nothing that changes weapons, though I am using Vastator's armor mod, would that cause it to not work?

@Cvlsoldier Are you using any other mods?

It doesn't work for me. Ashigaru still have the trident yari and fight with their swords.

Even the unit card of Yari Ashigaru shows they wield a regular spear. Thanks for fixing this.

Can someone please make Long Yari Ashigaru available for ODA from the begining ???It takes to long to upgrade the buildings in order to recruit their special unit :(

Thank you so much for this mod! Ashigaru units switching to katanas with their spears poking up in the air was the number one thing that bothered me about Shogun 2. Though it does seem to make them a bit weaker... but that suits me just fine. Thanks again!

@Daafje.NL They have the same Yari as they always have, which is a very long version of the one I gave to the other Yari Ashigaru units. Only change is that they should be fighting with their spear instead of a sword.

hi, I have a question. What have you done with the Oda long yari ashigaru, do they have the same yari as the normal yari ashigaru?

@PacifismAnthar Thank you :)

You are talented, you got the shogun 2 spirit, and makes it even more "EPIC" in a historical way.
(by not adding some weird stuff), good job.

@Kashou Minaduki Hmmm the odd movement is the same with or without the mod for me.

Hey merwanor
I think there's a little animation problem with "Yari Wall" and Yari Ashigaru fighting with swords.
in vanilla game where ashigaru can switch to swords,when they move out with spear wall,they walk steady like men with pikes.
and when they got no swords,well they just like men trying to walk with only their left feet moving.

I don't know how to use packfile, but thank for all!

@Sigmen Ah yes I can see that now, personally I don't want to remove the flags as I like that look. But I will look into it if I have time after I finish the mods I am working on at the moment. Fairly new to modding TW games, so everything is a good learning experience for me.

So far I have only used packfilemanager when dealing with these kinds of mods that edit the tables. Seems to work fine so far.
