The Black Ship Rises
This is a cheat mod – You have been warned.
This mod allows The Black Ship to be recruited from the singleplayer campaign and from custom battles without having to go through all the shenanigans of capturing it before your enemies/allies do.
The stats of the unit have not been changed
This unit is recruited from ANY naval base. To change this, open the mod with PFM, go to buildings_units_allowed_tables and delete the entries you don’t want.
This unit does not need a specific religion.
This unit has an upkeep of about 1000.
There is a cap of only 1 ship.
This unit is recruitable by all vanilla Shogun 2 factions, not the Fall of the Samurai or Rise of the Samurai factions
This means that in a singleplayer campaign EVERY faction may have one of these ships sailing around causing havoc. With unanime5’s Expanded Japan (97 new regions, 101 new factions) mod this would mean there could be 163 Black Ships sailing around. To limit the Ship to just one faction, read the instructions below.
Glitches/Bugs.
The recruitment cost for this unit varies for some reason, it is 1000 in one save file but 7000 in another.
If you want to limit this ship to just your faction:
Download the Pack File Manager (PFM) from http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?618353-PFM-3-2-DB-schema-improvements
Open the mod with PFM (caligula_the_black_ship_rises)
Right click underneath the text in the white rectangle, click Add -> From Pack -> data.pack
Expand the following: data.pack -> db
Right click on units_to_exclusive_permissions_tables (do not expand). Click OK
Click the Postprocess button at the top, and click Rename -> Rename All. Add a prefix of your choosing and click OK. It does NOT matter what you type, so long as its something.
Open the units_to_exclusive_permissions_tables table.
Delete all of the entries except one (217 of them).
Change the key to Galleon_The_Black_Ship
Change the faction to whatever faction you want to grant the Black Ship to.
Make sure "allowed" is ticked.
Delete the units_to_groupings_military_permissions_table
Click File -> Save and enjoy.
This mod should be compatible with every single other mod unless they edit The Black Ship unit as well.
