This is Master of Strategy mod for FoTS. For the ones who played the Sengoku version this is going to be much faster with less grinding (I think). Also it has been made in a way that reduce buggs and crashing a lot, being much more stable.

The mod itself it's based around spliting every region in:
Main settlement: Here you have an upgradable castle and your main recruitment position
Farms: A good income and population control aura
Ports: Great for trading as always plus industries bonuses

The whole buildings chains have changed to increase diversity.
Some historical buildings has been implemented.

The battle balance gives longer battles for a more tactical experience.
As expected new units were made for this mod.

Lots of new resources

The current version is nº49

Future development
Balancing: This never ends in no mod
Descriptions: Especially units descriptions are missing

///////Recent changes///////

Update (v48)
Completed unit descriptions
Naval range calibration is now proportional to the efective range (benefit bigger ships)
Police Ki and Sasumata Police now have better battle abilities
Ninja attack increased

Update (v49)
Exchanged positions of late tier castles, now you get startfort battlemap with cannons in corners.
Towers works
Flaming arrows replaced with Arch Volley
Added wedge formation to hatamoto and diamond formation to bodyguard

Note I had to use the original towers buildings, which was not what I wanted. As they were attached to the original tech tree I had to reintroduce two techs (the only trouble is the last one that feels weird as it has two bonuses). Also the mod now starts from matchlock towers.

Note: This mod is not trying to be a historical representation. Both Total FoTS and North&South II have wide more historical suport for their mods, and i recomend to test the large work that they are developing in Twcenter.
