Description:

Bakumatsu: Modernization Period is a mod that seeks to overhaul the gameplay of Fall of the Samurai by creating a bigger highlight on the usage of new gunpowder weapons and the phase out of most melee.

To do this, the mod increases the massive capabilities of the new weapons, and increase their melee, making melee units mostly obsolete

– Most unit sizes have been increased
– Walkspeed decreased but run speed increased

+ INCREASED RELOAD RATE FOR ALL GUN UNITS
+ Bayonets implemented (Thanks to Lordrodjx11’s mod)
+ Increased melee stats for lines with higher charge bonuses making them much better in melee combat
+ Tighter Formation for Line Infantry
+ Price and upkeep changes for most line units
+ New Modern Units to replace your levy and line infantry after getting modern rifles
+ Range increased to 150, 200 for sharpshooters

+ Spear Levy now use long yaris and are given the spear wall ability
– Relatively unchanged but the new Gunpowder buffs should make them entirely obsolete, especially with line infantry having higher melee stats now

+ Massive increase to charge bonus
+ Massive stat increase to sabre cav
– Mostly smaller unit counts, making them very weak to gunpowder units

+ Modern Lines get breechloaders while modern levies get the rifle of regular line infantry
+ Meant to be a cheaper and easier alternative to SIR infantry.
– Mostly Identical to their counterparts with added reload skill and accuracy
– Higher Upkeep than regular

+ Sharpshooters with the new breech-loading rifles, with higher accuracy and reload skill
– Higher Upkeep

Rifle sounds may be buggy by not having any sounds while shooting. I do not know how to fix this unfortunately and haven’t tested any soundfix mods, so you may have to try those out yourself
