The Forty-seven Bow Maidens – An Elite Unit Mod
https://youtu.be/UK90mcy3YKg?t=4275 – Bliss surrounds you as you enter the misty mountains of the Ako region.
… Grace and peace fills this place, said to be kept by the living embodiment of an ancient Spirit, carried in forty-seven mortal vessels, nurturing the land with hands of grace, tenderness and love, as well as the spilled blood of any foolish enough to disrespect old Fujin, the God of the winds that guide the arrows… of the legendary Bow Maidens of Ako.
Is your cause just? Has the lands of beautiful Japan been sullied and besmirched? Maybe you… can win the favour of the Maidens and Fujin himself should that be the case!
Beware the arrows guided by the God of unpredictable winds and storm!
… Beware… the rumored bodyguard’s of Queen Himiko’s Stormguard…
I introduce to you, The Forty-seven Bow Maidens!
————————————————————————————————————————————–
Hello everyone! Been a while but here’s another mod.
It’s perfectly standalone. Contains all it needs in itself and features 1 single elite unit of archery female warriors. 47 mounted archers with stats in between the Bow Hero and katana samurai.
The unit is neither stronger nor weaker statwise, but has a lot of fun abilities to play around with for tactical purposes.
Is the unit OP? Maybe. But it’s armor is lower than the other heroes so if you have them charge into spears, other heroes or just face arrow fire it will die.
There’s also a bug I cant fix where the ranged stats wont show. I apologise for this but hey. What can you do.
The units stats are 85 Accuracy, 75 reload and has 45 ammo over standard 30. The rest you can see, So it’s slightly more powerful than the normal bow hero, but has less armor and the same range so it’s by no means invincible.
Other than that the unit should work perfectly. I added some nice details like scabbard, wakizashi and quiver to it and other than that it’s just a fast moving, elegant cav hero unit.
We really didn’t have any of that except in Gempei so I figured this would be fun.
There is another unit coming tomorrow probably. A new archer hero unit but on foot and powerful but not broken.
Enjoy the mod everyone, and let me know if you run into issues.
As always take note: TROUBLESHOOTING !!!!!!!!!
Nr 1: Run this mod FIRST if you bump into issues.
How? = Disable all other mods, tick the box for this one, load game. Test. Then exit game, tick other boxes. Doone. No load-order issues.
Although there shouldn’t be any unless you bump into some mods that use same unit-index slots etc.
All in all, I hope you’ll all have fun.
I’d like to credit my good friend Sjana and her friend Hiji for help with some translation and naming ideas too.
Btw: The Dragon Warrior project got cancelled. Reason being I wasn’t satisfied with the design. It felt too sloppy, low quality and not unique enough to justify being a single unit in a mod. So I scrapped it and moved on to something else.
Just in case anyone was speculating about that.
Ill link a picture here that shows what it would’ve looked like but Shogun 2 just doesn’t have the tools available to properly create this with satisfactory model and texture creation: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/battlerealms/images/8/84/Dragon_Warrior.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20121025004314
Onwards to the next project: The Cherry Blossoms!
