Ashikaga Shogunate mod v1.01

Footnote: something about this command appears to be bugged. When I examine the units, the damage is still shown as '0' rather than '10' as the docs say it should. Unless the docs are wrong ...

There are two hooves, an "animal hoof" and a "mount hoof". You want #55, the mount hoof. Check the sticky equipment stat list, it's pretty good about such things.

But I think you just specify the number OR the name, not both, so be careful about that.

EDIT: Except it looks list the list is wrong; I'll change it. You do in fact want #56. Anyway, I think the problem is that you're double-specifying; just use 56, not 56 and "hoof".

The most common weapon of fuedal japan was without question the spear called the Yari. Samurai used it sometimes, but it was the weapon of the masses. Other weapons that might be considered would be naginata and its variations. I believe there was a variant of the naginata used by cavalry, essentially a short blade on spear, perhaps a halberd might be able to represent this?

The Sohei also used the naginata, im not sure what the best weapon to represent a naginata would be, it is obviously a reach weapon with tremendous damage potential.

A Brief History of the Naginata, shamelessly taken from a shogun totalwar forum.

The Naginata is a weapon with a rich history, utilized and refined from the Nara Period (710-784 A.D.) to today. Employed initially by the Bushi, it later found itself the specific weapon of the Sohei or Buddhist monks. It is the school of the spear and, as such, is a shafted weapon. The length of its oval shaft varied, from 5' to 8', depending on battle conditions and personal requests. The most striking feature, however, was the blade; it could be anywhere from 10 inches to more than 2 feet, and was sharpened on a single side, fashioned in the manner of either Sakizori or Uchizori. As with most shafted weapons, it was most devastating when utilizing sweeping, circular motions. However, thrusts with the blade and also the heavy ishizuki on the butt end were acceptable tactical alternatives.

That's precisely what was wrong (double-spec). Thanks!

A little remark also : encumbrance amongst the munted units in the mod is uneven, Daimyo has 1 and Horse Samurai 3.
Mod guidelines suggest a 5 for mounted troops : is this change a design decision ?

I doubt it was. He's already said that he'd overlooked the #mounted command, which changes the way enc is calculated. I expect that the 'proper' value of 5 is what you'll see in v2.00.

I mostly have problems with the cost of the 2 big mages and apprentice. They are too cheap by 15 to 20%, in my opinion.

The race is really cool looking, and have a nice background though.
