Version 1.01 of my Japanese themed Dominions II mod, the Ashikaga Shogunate, is now complete and ready for download! It replaces the basic nation of Tien'Chi with a feudal shogunate of warriors based on the Ashikaga, or Warring States, era of Japanese history. Version 1.01 of the mod includes 14 completely new units with hand crafted .tga sprites, full (though somewhat rough, in places) unit and nation descriptions and appropriate flags and banners.
Version 2.00, which will be released very quickly after Illwinter makes the improved mod tools availible, will feature national heroes, the ability for ninja to preform assassinations, thematic custom armor and weapons, more realistic leadership values on national commanders (poor Taisho Daimyo, only can lead 25 men!), balance tweaks, unique commander names, and national startic spells & related summon units (Oni).
If you have any suggestions on things you'd like to see in v2.00 or balance improvements that would make things more fun, feel free to post them here in this thread.
v1.01 of this mod uses unit numbers 2400-2414.
It can be downloaded from my website
here.
Enjoy.
