DarthMod: Shogun 2 v1.0
The popular mod series for the PC game "Total War: Shogun 2"
The DarthMod series of mods continues to improve the AI and gameplay of Total War games.
As always, the mod’s main scope is to destroy the “weak” arcade factors and replace them with realistic features.
Witness now Shogun 2: Total War as you have ever wanted.
The most important changes:
• Many tweaks in battle mechanics to create more lasting battles and better troop responses.
• Realistic speeds, accelerations, mass and physics for a more realistic battle experience. As a result more battle chaos and charge penetrations are generated.
• Removal of the “laser trails”. In combination with the reduced speeds there is a significant FPS increase.
• Improvements in fatigue levels (troops get tired and rest more dynamically).
• More morale resistance for more intense battles.
• Cavalry is more powerful, can last more in a melee, and can perform lethal charges.
• Reload rate of towers reduced slightly from 4 to 3.
• Projectiles less accurate and less effective against armour and generally are more realistic.
• More dynamic diplomacy attitudes settings.
• Improved auto calculation of battles.
• Removal of the most insane CAI handicaps and in compensation I made the CAI to use better the decision weight system so to develop more and coordinate better the attack/defense (needs testing).
• Trade is more lucrative.
• Tax rate from provinces is increased.
• Units gain experience more rapidly per battle.
• Character experience points per upgrade increased from 2 to 3.
• CAI will recruit less archers than before.
• Food shortages reduced by lowering the food consumption of certain buildings.
• Less tidy formations.
• General command radius increased.

Special Note:
The official game is very finely made, so not many mod changes are needed comparing with past Total War titles. But not all files are available for modding yet. As a result, there are a few special things that need urgent alteration but the files related to them are locked. These are the below:
• Removal of the balloon back packs (the ceremonial outfits were not widely used in battles, therefore they are not realistic and are plain silly). Just use your logic… could someone fight with this tumor on his back? Only the Quasimodo and with difficulty.
• The projectile trajectories must be made more realistic. They are too straight.
• Increase of unit sizes.
As more files get unlocked more improvements will be added.
Final statement:
Do not underestimate the small size of the file. You will notice big changes in the gameplay. Your feedback is valuable in order to make DarthMod: Shogun 2 even better. If you can, please post screenshots and videos to show me your queries or just to help me promote the mod around the world. In short you can call the mod “DMS” from now on.
