IT'S ON NOW!!!!
Unknown: Once upon a time, in the barren wasteland of Ohio.......There was a noble order of knights. They were called the Brotherhood of Ste-- AH FUCK IT.
Alright, you dick-sucks. I'm General Barnaby and you tribal bumpkins are new initiates in the Brotherhood of Steel.
Skitarii: Permission to speak sir?
Gen. Barnaby: Granted.
Skitarii: I'm not a tribal. I'm actually from the NCR, and Kefka's not a tribal, he's a gh*THWACK* AARGGH FUCK
Gen. Barnaby: I lost over 9000 troops in that lightning storm, and the world just fuckin' watched.
Integrity: SO, the fuck are we supposed to do?
Gen. Barnaby: AHEM. Your tribal brothers and sisters are under attack by raider fucks. Kill the raider leader, prove to their uncivilized minds that we are superior, and tell them to send us their children for further indoctrination to the Brotherhood. Oh yeah, don't kill the elder. Please don't mistake the the elder for a raider leader, you simpleton fucks.
Skitarii (weakly): I told you I'm not a *THWACK*. FUUUU!!!
Gen. Barnaby: Alright, off you go. Try not to die. (mutters) Let's see if this bunch follows the 90% attrition rate for standard recruits.
The group of 5 set out for Brahmin Wood, home to a tribe of Brahmin (2-headed cows) -worshipping peoples.
Skitarii: Ugh...that fat fuck. My side hurts like a bitch...and....let's take a look at the map. -taps a few buttons on the Pip Boy-
Strider: Ooooh pretty.
Skitarii: So uh.....somehow we had time to do reconnaissance on the area but they didn't send in the warriors to clear out the area. More for us then....
Ciaran: Can't we just rush in and slaughter them all?
Skitarii: I'd prefer a more methodical appro--
Strider: Ah fuck methods, the best approach is to run in and make it quick and clean!
Skitarii: Uh huh....hope you brought your stim packs (they're like health potions)
So, let's take a look at our party's stats, shall we?
Skitarii: For now, extremely shitty at combat. At best, will be mediocre due to average perception and that's stretching it with my low strength and endurance. The only saving grace I have is my high INT which should more-or-less make me pretty good with skills and my maxed out Luck which....would give me lucky criticals very often. I should use some short ranged SMG since I have fast shot and I don't need to aim with those. However, I seem to have the highest charisma out of everyone so that might make me the designated shopper.
Ciaran
Had to sacrifice 1 point of intelligence to give 1 point to strength since the bigger guns of the game require some strength to wield. No, he's not dim-witted, I think. Maxed out agility means that he'll be dodging bullets like a boss and dishing out the hurt with criticals, assuming he can hit with his fast shot trait and average perception. Will be very useful later on in detecting traps and driving stuff, assuming I level those skills up.
Strider
Another speedster. Great guy to have in melee with that maxed out agi (action points YEAAAAAH) but he won't be getting defense from his maxed out agi thanks to kamikaze. Assuming nobody is shooting at him, he will carve a path of blood later on. TO THE PAIN! However, with a perception of 7 he can also bring the pain in the form of short-ranged weapons. Perhaps he can take a shotgun or some grenades.
Kefka
I didn't realize Ghouls actually have a total of 42 in their SPECIAL allotment instead of the 40 that humans had. However, the game told me that they can't wield big guns and they have less HP (He's only got 24 HP!) Indeed, charisma means shit when the rest of your teammates can do the talking. With such high stats in lockpick and repair and small guns and perception Kefka will probably be our designated sniper.
Integrity
Integrity has a PhD in kicking your ass as well as saving it. Death or healing, he cares not which you seek. He also pities the fool who brings harm to him or his allies.
Okay, just joking. Being good-natured and level 1, his combat stats are utter shit and he'll probably be relegated to medic duty until his gun skills are leveled up. After that he can join the sniping team with Kefka thanks to that 8 perception.
Skitarii: Uh...say...how come none of you are armed....? I mean,all of you remembered to bring bullets and stimpacks but not the guns?
(heads shake and shoulders shrug)
[it was my fault actually, I modded your characters to have starting weapons but apparently the game only gave a baseball bat to Strider.]
Strider: (pulls out baseball bat) Well then...looks like we'll just have to shake it out of 'em......heheheheh
Anyways.....will be posting more soon!
-
This team is going to be very very interesting....
So far I've got 4 sign-ups + myself.
1. Skitarii (me)
2. Integrity
3. Strider
4. Kefka
5. Ciaran (Furetchen)
Anyways, I'll be starting in a day or two. While the game is old and runs really smoothly on my comp, I'm not sure if I want to do video recordings since I can't write funny stuff (this is more personal than total war, after all) and my house is noisy and any voiceovers will probably be ruined. No objections....right? Classic screenshot LP fine by you guys/gals?
-
Korean MMO meets Total War's grand scale RTS battles meets Dynasty Warrior's hack & slash gameplay meets Warhammer 40K's finishing move violence.
Is anybody as fired up for this game as I am? It sounds like the perfect combination of things. Granted, I haven't played the previous games of the series since I don't own XBOX.
The only gripe I have is the lack of armor on the elf's gigantic mammaries.... -
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
This thread is the most epic thread on SF ever since the last stand of the Order Knights in my ETW LP.
-
Priorities are your judgment. I already gave you a guy intending to specialize in both damage and healing and taking Good Natured to ...fuck up Big Fun. You can try to salvage it :p
And I'm a nice dude. Make me look like a nice dude.
Actually, make me black. That's my one request.
You badass motherfucker.
Need to nerf your skills to level 1 status since I based your character off a pre-existing one and saved it as a new character. But otherwise, this is more or less what you'll look like, although you'll be wearing leather armor instead of that steel plate in the beginning. :P
This thread needs Furetchen and that crazy guy who was Raymond in the Icewind Dale LP.
-
Awesome.
Do you care about skin color/hair color/clothing color?
As for portrait...you want someone evil/ugly/decent-looking?
How badly do you want me to prioritize things?
Yeah sorry if i asked too much x_x
-
Anyone care to join up? :D
Pick your 3 tagged skills, pick your 2 traits (or none), pick your race, leave a name, age, and gender.
It'll be fun!
-
AHAHA TACTICS!
I've tried so hard to get into this so many times over the years. I'll be watching!
Heheh, I'll try to make this funny.
ALRIGHT, I think I'm done with writing about character creation.
Okay, I believe I can mod in 5 characters for the first mission, while the rest will only be available after the first mission...I believe? Unless there are modding limitations. I'm looking around the forums for help.
I think I'll take in 8 volunteers. GO GO GO. PLEASE SIGN UP.
Oh yeah, you can write a small biography for your characters, which will be displayed in-game.
-
Hey guys, it's Skitarii here.
You might remember me from the Total War LPs.....and such. Thing is, I'm kind of bored of the Total War series, I guess it's fatigue, or that I have all these other games that demand me to finish them. My friends are playing Skyrim and I don't want to fall behind them, so I need more time to divert to Skyrim, Assassin's Creed 2, Fallout New Vegas.....all of which have shorter load times than Total War games. I guess I need a better computer...my current laptop can only do so much....
Anyways, I'm doing a new LP with the Fallout universe. What is Fallout? It's post-apocalyptic America of the nuclear kind. Mutated fauna are running rampant, and people strive to survive on the surface. However, there are Vaults, which are safe underground complexes made to withstand nuclear wars and keep the best and brightest of humanity alive. Usually surface dwellers will try to seek these vaults out in search of long-lost technology.
What is the story of Fallout Tactics?
It's about you and your squad. I (the main player) am part of the Brotherhood of Steel, a pseudo-knighthood order obsessed with finding and studying technology in order to bring order to the chaotic nuclear wasteland of America. We're part of the more open-minded group, which welcomes outsiders into its ranks.
Where do you come in? Aside from me, the squad can hold 5 more members as well as a limitless amount of recruits. The thing is that all these characters are pre-existing. HOWEVER, I believe I can learn enough modding know-how to create custom characters from scratch. One thing though, I am not sure if I can mod in more custom characters AFTER the game has begun, so I'm taking sign ups now until.....iunno, whenever I feel like playing.
CHARACTER CREATION
Name - Skitarii.
Age - 23. Not sure if this affects anything.
Sex - Male. Hurr durr.
Species - Affects some things, such as starting stats. HOWEVER, that's only relevant to the pre-existing characters in the game, which have starting stats relevant to their races. As I am creating custom characters, I can give stats contrary to their race. So, unless you want to roleplay around, i suppose you can ignore this section.....
Human - Most balanced of all the races.
Ghouls - Humans mutated beyond recognition by radiation. They look like zombies and are disliked by humans. Tend to be weaker, but more perceptive (more on these stats) and luckier.
Deathclaw - Mutated chameleons who are extremely strong (they're feared in the Fallout Universe). Can't use items, can only equip items pertaining to Unarmed combat (like brass knuckles). Generally very strong and durable, but are stupid.
Super Mutant - Humans mutated into hulking giants by a Forced Evolutionary Virus. Strong, stupid, and slow. Uses heavy weapons with ease, but are too clumsy to use one-handed weapons.
Dog - Agile and perceptive, but can't use items. Plus....dogs are easily shot to death....right? Gains perks (special traits that modify your skills and stats and other things) the quickest.
Robots - Immune to radiation and poison, but vulnerable to electrical attacks. No charisma, average luck, don't gain perks.
Stats - Determinants of stuff like damage and your starting skills. Will explain in more detail below.
Strength - Affects HP, Carrying Capacity, and melee damage.
Perception - Affects ranged combat, your ability to spot enemies, reaction time, dialogue options, and some skills that rely on being observant (healing, picking locks, spotting traps.)
Endurance - Affects HP, healing rate, resistances to poison and radiation.
Charisma - Affects prices and NPC reactions.
Intelligence - Affects the amount of skill points gained per level up, dialogue options..... High INT characters with low skills can surpass low INT characters with high skills int he long run.
Agility - Affects Action Points (the amount of actions you can do in some amount of time) and ability to not get hit.
Luck - Affects everything, but mainly critical chance.
While it may be fun to have characters with maxed out stats running around, that's not going to make for a fun LP. I'd rather prefer to keep a total of 40, like my character.
Skills - They are a measure of the actions you can perform in Fallout Tactics, and the higher they are the better you are at doing them. Skills that are tagged are higher in base compared to other skills. You may tag 3 skills.
Small Guns - Affects ability with guns that use regular bullets.
Big Guns - Affects ability with rocket launchers, heavy machine guns, etc.
Energy Weapons - Affects ability with laser and plasma weaponry.
Unarmed - Affects melee ability when using fists.
Melee Weapons - Affects melee ability when using knives, broken bottles, spears....
Throwing - Affects ability when using grenades and thrown weapons.
First Aid - Affects ability to use healing items.
Doctor - Affects ability to heal crippled limbs and using special healing packs.
Sneak - Affects ability to sneak (aka invisibility from enemies)
Lockpick - Affects ability to pick open locks without needing the keys.
Steal - Affects ability to steal things. Note: You must be sneaking (AND HIDDEN) to steal.
Traps - Affects ability to set traps and spot them.
Science - Affects ability to critical enemy robots, although I think there are some other effects.
Repair - Affects ability to repair robots and vehicles.
Pilot - Affects ability to drive.
Barter - Affects prices when trading.
Gambling - Affects ability to win stuff when gambling.
Outdoorsman - Affects chance of encountering bad (aka hard) random encounters and increases chance of special encounters.
Traits - Traits are starting special bonuses coupled with a penalty that your character has. You may pick 2.
Fast Metabolism - Faster healing rate, more vulnerable to poison and radiation. Not available to ghouls and robots.
Bruiser - +2, but -2 action points.
Small Frame - +1 Agi, but you carry less stuff.
One Hander - You get more accuracy with one-handed weapons, but you suck balls with two-handed weapons.
Finesse - Less damage, higher critical chance.
Kamikaze - Fuck defense. Your defense is only as good as your armor. Deal a shitload of damage instead.
Heavy Handed - +melee damage, less critical chance.
Fast Shot - Less action points to use firearms and throwing weapons, but you can't aim.
Bloody Mess - Enemies die in a spectacular fashion from mundane weapons. Aesthetics only.
Jinxed - You and everyone (enemies included) around you tends to be critical'd more frequently.
Good Natured - Decreased starting combat abilities, increased starting healing abilities.
Chemical Reliant - Side effects of chems wear off quicker, but you're twice as likely to get addicted.
Chemical Resistant - Chems only last half the time, but you're half as likely to get addicted.
Night Person - +1 Int and +1 Perception at night, but vice versa during the day.
Skilled - Slower perk rate, but get +5 more skill points on level up.
Gifted - All stats +1, but you have -10 all starting skills and -5 less skill points on level up.
Deathclaw Only Traits
Domesticated - +1 Int, but less unarmed damage. But you're a deathclaw, let the high-int characters do the int work.
Rabid - Getting crippled doesn't affect you as much and you get more action points per kill, but chems (healing items included) do NOT affect you.
Ghoul Only
Fear the Reaper - Gain perks faster, but every time you level up your HP will be reduced to critical levels.
Glowing One - You glow in the dark, making it easier to get spotted. You're more resistant to radiation, but the bad thing is that you're spreading it to everyone else.
Tech Wizard - Better base skills in lockpick, science, and repair. -1 Perception.
Robot Only
Beta Software - You get to tag a skill. But you get glitches and who knows what those do.
EMP Shielding - More resistance to EMP attacks, but -2 AGI
Targetting Computer - Better accuracy, but attacks cost more action points.
Tight Nuts - Tougher against all attacks except electrical ones, but twice as hard to fix.
Super Mutant Only
Ham Fisted - Unarmed skill is tagged, but less repair, doctor,first aid, and science skills.
Vat Skin - Better armor class, -1 Perception to everyone around you because you smell like solid waste excrement.
Okay I think that's all you need to know for character creation.
-
Hmm, I can't believe I forgot to distribute Shigehira's skill points. Guess I'll make him a good warrior then.
Moar accuracy is always good for the bow generics.
Taking over Iyo....at that tiny island down there.
Now that I don't have a diplomatic penalty over my decision to not execute Shigehira for disloyalty, I'm back to making vassals. Hopefully they'll do something about Clan Hata's crazy-powerful navies.
Well they like me enough to settle for a trade agreement, it seems....
Hm, finally one of these random event things pops up. I choose town growth!
Whoaaa holy shit, where did you come from?
Meanwhile....I'm going to attempt to decapitate the Yashima Taira.....Dear sister clan, you will pay for your betrayal. Love, Fukuhara Taira.
A Hata army encroaches on Bitchu. We will fight it off!
Walkin' in a winter wonderland~
Oh wait, it's only November.
Elites at the back...as usual.
Open fire! We've won plenty of field battles before, this should be no different.
Fuck, get your facing together people. The enemy is THAT way. Stop looking around like a bunch of numbskulls.
Cavalry, CHARGE! Pursue their general! Crush him!
Fast and easy.
Die. On your knees.
Meanwhile, just to piss the Hata off, I capture Bingo, loot it, and run back to Bitchu. Come at me.
How do I win this?
Let's see, all archers to the direction of the enemy. All melee units stay out of sight. We'll let the archers get shot at under the cover of the walls.
It didn't take very long for them to put arrows into my militia. C'mon, move up! Hold the walls!
It's do or die, gentlemen! For your lords, your families, and your farms!
They're climbing! Time to pull the archers back.
We will hold you back! THOU SHALT NOT PASS.
Things are heating up. Literally.
Finding yourself to be a bit claustrophobic?
Okay, we drove off the first few groups. Run back, run back!
Their general is dismounting!
We cannot lose this battle! If Omi is lost, Kyoto will be threatened!
BURY THEM WITH OUR BODIES MEN
Archers! USE SWORDS!
HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGH
Have you had enough!!!? HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH!?
We...survived. Against all odds.
Whew, now I don't need to wait so long in waiting for newly-conquered provinces to warm up to me.
Next up: Reducing the tax inefficiency even more. With a Police Office.
By the way I believe I have forgotten to put up a screenie of the Sumo Retainer info.
You know guys, I think I'm afflicted with Total War fatigue. I wish to take a break from this Total War LP and do something else. I've got Skyrim and other games that demand to be finished....and....shamefully, I am going to put this LP on hold.
Sorry guys....unless you're feeling fatigued watching this, haha!
-
I love when provinces rebel and spawn huge, elite armies out of nowhere. Oh so much. Especially when the spawned army is bigger than the population that was in it because you decided to loot/exterminate when you captured it...
Annoying as hell. -sigh- At least Empire Total War got it right by spawning shit armies in your revolutions...
Somewhere in Sagumi, the Minamoto show up with a big fucking elite army and wish to take it. No I say, I have levy with improved armor!
We are surrounded. All archers, stay on the upper levels. We'll send a few naginata down to the lower levels.
Sword Attendant spam on our behinds. Let's keep moving.
Loose arrows! That's a shitload of enemy foot samurai. Put 'em down!
Fall back, fall back!
The naginata levy will hold them off. All archers, to the western walls! Shoot the enemy samurai!
They're getting confident. They're actually climbing up.
Sir! What are your orders?! We're dying down here!
I DONT KNOW SHEESH
Good, we drove back those sword attendants.
FORWARD! Try to rout them!
Gaaah, we are being overpowered! Negative negative, we gotta fall back!
Gaaaah, keep shooting!
This armor will protect us! I think....
OMG Y U NO DIE?!
Crap, the sword attendants are back. With a vengeance.
Eventually, the Minamoto foot samurai seemed to have run out of arrows to shoot at my levy. They're gonna climb up now...
And I am forced to charge my valuable sword attendants at theirs. Guess the levy aren't stopping them very well.
Well, that took them out.
They're combing, keep shooting! Hey wait, I think one group of them are fleeing! Sweeet.
Now let's see if we can get a flank attack on them. GO!
Argh, , taking fire from their generals' bodyguards. We gotta capture our tower back so it can shoot at them!
KILL! KILL!
Ah, crap, now's not the time to give up! Fuck. Fall back to the inner walls!
Yup. All these screenies are depicting a retreat.
The shooting continues.
To the last man and the last arrow! SHOOOOOT. Where's 3-13 Archer when you need him?
Oh boy, let's see if we can win this final melee.
RUUUUUUUUUUUUUSH!
VICTORY! WE WIN!
That was...stressful. Now where am I going to get the money to retrain all those troops? I suppose I can loot some provinces....
Looks like those new rebels don't like me.
Tango north! Smoke 'im! Wait wait wait this isn't Call of Duty.
Morikage figures that Bizen has stabilized, and moves forward to Bitchu.
Autoresolve, then loot for cash.
Next tech to master: Sumo Retainers. Need to repress the population to ensure their loyalty.
Tango down, tango down, but was it worth it?
Yes, yes it was. Loot the place for money, destroy all buildings there, and move to the next poorly-defended settlement aka Tajima.
We'll keep this province.
-
Astram? Midia? Wendell? Jeorge? Who else am I missing? Uh yeah, I tried. I really did.
-
FML.
We must conquer! Need money!
Not sure what I was thinking; I made a vassal instead of just occupying the place. Yeah I was hoping it wouldn't backstab me....
The Hata are really leaving some provinces undefended....such as Nagato.
Fuck you, new vassal by the name of Seno. Fuck you.
Izu is lost, but its new owners will not find much there. The new owners are rebels anyways, and will not be doing much besides staying in their newly-acquired province.
Ceremony and Ritual mastered, woot woot.
Interesting dilemma. Young thief claims to be poor so he steals (Rickard, Julian, anyone?) I decide to let him go instead of yelling at my guards. Not sure what will happen from the result of my decisions...
A son is born, whoo. Taira Yasukiyo will be his name.
Meanwhile, Iwami rebels and spawns a huge-fucking army. Time to get the hell out of there. The iwami garrison joins Shigehira next door at Nagato.
I also cancel all construction at Iwami to recoup some money. That money will go into training troops at Nagato to pacify it.
-
Thought for the Day: Just when you thought you had it all, you start to lose it all.
After a few turns of stabilizing Taira Morikage marches on to Bitchu with a crack team of Attendants and Monks.
Meanwhile, Michiari has fun sabotaging armies, poisoning the water, performing arson, murder, and jaywalking.
For reaching max level he gets a badass mask. But he's old. And I don't have the cash for him to do his jobs. Wasted opportunity.
Placed points in Invisible, just so he can gtfo if he ever fails missions, or if enemy agents try to go after him.
And he gets another pretty sword to his collection of death-dealing instruments.
Shigehira continues his conquest up north. OCCUPY IWAMI!
I forgot if I ever showcased this unit. Mounted Naginata. The Genpei version of the Yari Cavalry, except better at staying alive.
For not executing Shigehira, my vassals think lowly of me and betray me, one by one. Cowards.
Morikage gets married....to a beautiful wife...wheeee..
Yeah, fuck you.
Gathering what little garrison forces I have, I roflstomp Wakasa into submission.
Whereas Morikage gives up his quest for Bitchu, and turns around to besiege Bizen instead. Gotta keep my provinces connected.
Movin' out, assuming leaving only a skeleton garrison in Harima won't encourage the dissidents to take up arms against me.
Meanwhile, Kaneaki (the general that's on a lonely island) levels up as he fights off a few small armies.
Feeling emboldened by the new star floating next to him, it's off to take Sanuki.
Never seen this retainer portrait before.
He can use the extra defense.
A small group of levies make it to the Minamoto province of Izu. I don't believe I can hold it if a rebellion occurs, so perhaps I'll conquer it, loot it, and then trash its buildings for some extra cash before getting the hell out of there. Scorched earth policy is in effect, as my treasury is hungry for moar money.
Everyone hates me anyways. Losing honor isn't going to hurt me more. I've got that peer contempt status effect right now anyways....for the next 4 turns.
Bizen's garrison salies! We will defeat them honorably (somewhat).
I don't like that tiny elevation. I'll move to the right.
Hm...seems like they have plenty of bow troops. Since I feel like having fun, I will have Morikage charge into their archers. Meheheheh.
CHAARGE
I think my bodyguards are dropping at an outrageous rate. WHO TOLD YOU TO DIE? KEEP FIGHTING.
Y U WAVER
Why they waver too?
After a minute or two they break, and we begin cutting shit down.
Wow, seems like everyone suffers from chronic backstabbing disorder in Rise of the Samurai. I guess the idea of Bushido hasn't taken hold yet.
Yeah...I lost Etchu after one of those valiant last-stand type defeats.
Izu garrison making their way back to Suruga, hopefully before rebels appear.
Bizen has fallen to us after our somewhat honorable triumph over its garrison.
Morikage levels up as a result.
Sumo retainer? lololol
I think I'll build Morikage as a leader, not a warrior. Or maybe I can mix both down the line...we shall see...
You don't stand a chance, garrison of Sanuki.
Argh...why can't people march further?
Yup, the whole of Japan hates us because we didn't execute Shigehira for being disloyal, yet for some reason that's enough of an excuse for vassals to DISHONORABLY to backstab me and generally be DISLOYAL sons of bitches.
Great.

RF3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>RF1 and RF2

Yes...it would lead to some interesting developments, and at least I can improve my chances at multiplayer, which I'm planning to get into. At least, in multiplayer we have CUSTOMIZABLE, NAMEABLE UNITS THAT WE ALL MISSED FROM EMPIRE TOTAL WAR >_>.
Maybe I should do a multiplayer LP just so all of SF can watch me get raped but at least you can name units, decide their uniform colors, decide their abilities, decide HOW THEY LEVEL UP. EVEN THE ASHIGARU.
Anyways, back to analyzing the previous battles. The Hata had two responses to my bow monk bait trick.
1. Don't do anything and wait for my monks' ability to wear off. At this point I'll either play it cheap, wait 5 minutes for the skill to be available again, and continue shooting them from afar and wiping out what's left 5 minutes before the time limit hits. Or, I'll grow impatient and because I want my screenshots to be filled with glory, just send my troops forward and do something stupid.
2. Send their whole archer line forward. At this point I'll be engaging in a full on archery duel. I'll move my melee line forward to get their archers, which they can counter using their own melee line. However, I had previously-hidden units in the forest who can run around their flank and hit their archers from behind. Still, there's still some room for uncertainty since they may have mele units in reserve if they're smart, but that's unlikely.
-
Missed me? Doubt it, but here goes.
So previously we were about to engage of the Hata clan's armies; they outnumbered us but we have the advantage in 1337-ness.
So here goes.
Does anyone notice a change in screenshot quality? How about graphical quality? i turned down the settings a bit so the gameplay is a bit smoother for myself.
Man this map's got more wood than Chuck Norris. I put my archer line to the side of the trees so their arrows won't get tangled up; I put my melee troops behind the bow levy and the monks while those who would've been backing up the foot samurai have been placed in the forest for hiding purposes....eheh.
The Hata stay put; preferring to let me come to them instead.
So I use the tried-and-true extended-range-monk-bait trick. They fall for it, and they react stupidly by sending their ranged units 2 at a time to engage my archers. It works out extremely in my favor, and I quickly take out their bow monks and bow levy.
Tani Tomofuki: IN THE NAME OF HONOR I DEMAND A RANGED DUEL GENPEI ST----
Shigehira: LOOSE ARROWS
Tomofuki: FUUUUUUUUU--HRRRNNGGGGGHH
This battle calls for massive firepower
Your giant shoulder pads will not protect you.
You know, when you skirmish with your foe, you send your whole fucking archer line forward. Not bits of it for me to focus fire on.
Hey look, another general. And yes I do see casualties on one of my foot samurai units.
Tamoe Gozen, might Onna Bushi Heroine, general-killer. SLAY THAT FUCK. Oh, and take some attendants with you.
Hey. SURPRISE.
Foot Samurai, go teach those levy how a real soldier fights.
Well that general is down. Now let's make a u-turn and charge back into the enemy!
Units from the forest dealing with a few of their units; my cavalry archers withdraw from their pursuers whilst archers pelt them.
Well, I send in some bow levy to stall those attendants. If there's one thing I did incorrectly in this battle it's that I put 1 too many melee units into the forest.
Now my cavalry archers can hit at them.
Moving out to take on another group of cavalry...
1:5 loss:kill ratio. Nice.
We must press forward. Take the Hata lands and make their women lament!
Still more forests than I would've liked. Let's just march forward for now.
The right side (from my perspective) of their army consists mainly of melee units. Their bow units are to my left. I move my mounted units to the right so they can harass the enemy without fear of reprisal.
Monks....get up there.
Yo dawg I heard you liked increased range in your arrow so I put some range in your range so you can arrow while you arrow. What?
They take the bait. Fools Into the killzone.
You don't stand a ghost of a chance.
Tamoe Gozen, go to their flank.
Nyah nyah nyah can't hit me
Well they're charging. With no missile units giving them covering fire, I 'd like to see how long they can last. Or how far they can get.
Yeah they didn't get very far.
Hm, didn't spot that group of Foot Samurai earlier on.
They didn't last too long either.
Got him in my make-up obscured sights. - Onna Bushi
The Hata get their collective asses together and decide to charge. I pulled back some of my other units but neglected this one...
Hey. Look the other way.
Now is the right time to charge.
And forward!
Pwnage occurs.
Another triumph against the Hata.
By the way, the smoother frame rate allows a much smoother video recording than before, which I kinda like. Where screenshots give the outline of what happened, the video shows my exact movements, so you can kinda learn from it....I guess?
-
Well, I have been...absent again.
Thing is....my modding was successful.
With some tears and sweaty hands, I have ported over the Genpei-era units to the main campaign.
However, I have not released this mod on the twcenter forums due to legal issues regarding the fact that this mod may (untested, and I don't know if it can be tested without violating rules) unlock DLC content for those who have not purchased the DLC.
Granted, the versions of the units imported to the grand campaign are modified (for balance purposes) versions of the original DLC units, but still, I am suspicious.
Here, have some screens as proof.
All the (well, almost all) heroes.
Genpei era and Sengoku Jidai era monks standing side by side. Note monk on the right glancing at the guy on the left.
Levy and ashigaru. Except levy suck more (but I let them compensate with increased numbers)
Onna Bushi Heroine cutting up ashigaru
Tetsubo Monks bash some heads in while Katana Hero slices them off
Well, enough eye candy. This is proof that they can be recruited in the grand campaign.
So, now I have to make a choice. Should I just abandon the Taira campaign (I kinda "beat it" already) and do another grand campaign with all the units together (including some special dlc units that are available to the grand campaign only like Mortar Troops and Mounted Gunners (aka dragoons))?

Hey guys, sorry for being so late on the update.
I decided to learn how to mod Shogun 2 Total War regarding units. My goal was to bring the Rise of the Samurai Genpei-era units into the Sengoku Jidai campaign. It failed. I'm not sure why, but it seems there's some hard-coding involved that restricts units to their respective campaigns for some reason. I'm looking for help from some of the more experienced modders; unfortunately the most veteran of them is in surgery and hasn't been seen for months. Pity.
Anyway, here we go. Last time we Fukuhara Taira (also known as Fuck-You-Harder Taira) completed our mission objectives in the nick of time, but it's not enough. Our sister clan is a utter bitch and needs to be wiped from the island in the south. The Fujiwara and the Hata are still at large, and the Minamoto are pissing me off.
Now our guys will hit slightly more often now! And our samurai will kick more ass than they usually do!
Now we move on to master a different way of thinking. Whatever, I must unlock the Naginata Warrior Monk Hero, Genpei Version. I like the tetsubo version though.
Firebomb Medium Ship - The ancestor of the Firebomb Kobaya, except with the ability to Bonzai.
The Armoury is the upgrade to the Encampment building that grants +1 armor to all units recruited in the province and -10% recruitment cost. In layman's terms, it makes your units cheaper and harder to be killed.
Though we are a dominant power, there will be no rest for Michiari. Continue killing pl0x.
Like a bau5.
If they can't be killed, we can brainwash them and tell them to fuck off.
Ohohoho wait what the fuck am I reading.
We're nice to the monks. I don't get what Enlisting Aid does. It didn't help in the beginning of the game.
Good thing I have healthy stacks in the area they landed. Had they landed somewhere not so heavily-defended......
Vassals pave the way. Moving to Izumo.
Wait wait wait what? Shigehira? my best general? No fucking way. I refuse to believe this. Treason? No, I will not order him to commit seppuku.
Oh fuck. Only 1 loyalty mark.
What buttfuckery is this. All my generals have either 1 loyalty point. That really is treason. I suppose no 30-40 year old veteran wants to listen to some 20-year old noob rant about his daily visits to 2chan Tea House and Co.
In a fast attempt to remedy things, I assign positions of rank to my 3 generals and adopt Shigehira into the family, boosting his loyalty from 1 to 5.
Taoist Thinking mastered. Made in China.
Rival daimyos throughout Japan consider us faggots for allowing disloyal generals to not die.
And it's a hefty diplomatic penalty. -50. That's akin to 1/4 of the war penalty. Shit.
We will continue to master Ceremony and Ritual. Then what the hell did we do in the temples prior to this?
Izumo is barely defended, and thus taken without many casualties.
Vassals vassals vassals.
Shigehira continues to level up.
Peer contempt truly is contemptuous. The Takeda are the first to backstab me; bloodthirsty fucks.
Adachi quickly follows suit.
Fuck you, traitor.
The Fujiwara army that landed who knows when has finally taken action.
Finally getting married?
My attempts to level up another new Sou have failed miserably.
Fujiwara, I'll show you the power of my military.
Dry weather. Good. It was raining from before.
I didn't like this starting position, so let's run here.
Yawn.
Psssh. Greenhorns. I bet they don't have Bushido mastered yet.
Wow, they're wavering already. Cowards.
Push forward, levy!
Their general is smalltime.
Meh. Give me something better to fight next time.
This might be challenging. Might be.

Sorry for the lack of updates.
I had 2 midterms today. Then my AVG Free Anti-virus decided that a boot file in the Windows directory was a virus and deleted it. Just installed Windows 7 and I need to reinstall my games so it'll be some time before I can fucking get back to the LP. I think the game saves are.....saved. I think. Will need to test.

Isn't it hailed as one of the most accurate medieval combat simulators?
Been a while since I've touched M&B.

Assassin Lord. I play too much Assassin's Creed.

Furetchen your writing style is made of win. I should emulate your example for my next LP sometime in the future (hint hint).
