New Faction Announced





A look at the new faction
(read after watching the video)

Have a look at some of the units that you might or might not have seen in the trailer...

New Units

Chosu Infantry    Chosu line infantry are basic Japanese infantry.    Their officers wear the famous "Bear Wigs" made    out of bear hair.	Spoiler         [close]	White Bear Officer         [close]
Satsuma Infantry    The same as the troops from Chosu, except these    troops come from the loyal province of Satsuma.    Their officers wear the Black Bear Wig.	Spoiler         [close]	Black Bear Officer         [close]
Tosa Infantry    Infantry from Tosa. These troops wear the winter coat.    Their officers wear the Red Bear Wig.	Spoiler         [close]	Red Bear Officer         [close]
Tosa Sharpshooters    Skilled marksmen from the province of Tosa.    They are skirmishers, moving quickly across    the terrain, and using their accuracy to    pick apart enemy formations.	Spoiler         [close]
Imperial Guard    The Emperor's Guard. These tough troops have    a reputation to uphold. They may not be the    fastest, but are hardy and deadly with their    modern French bought rifles.	Spoiler         [close]	Officer         [close]
Imperial Lancer    Imperial counter cavalry, they ride light horses    and uses their lances to deadly effect.	Spoiler         [close]	Officer         [close]
Sabre Cavalry    Not as effective against cavalry as   the    Imperial Lancers, but highly effective    against infantry.	Spoiler         [close]	Officer         [close]
Imperial Artillery    The Imperial forces used American bought    Armstrong guns to great effect. There is    nothing better than an enemy dashed to    bits before he can even get to you.	Spoiler         [close]
Samurai/Ninja    The traditional side to war has not    been entirely lost to modernization.    These skilled warriors are deadly with    their blades in close combat and can    take more than one bullet before falling    to the dishonourable firearm wielders.    Choose between a katana, a yumi, or a    naginata for your weapons!	Spoiler         [close]	Ninja         [close]
Generals    Choose between a traditional general, armed    with a katana and the traditional armour that    can save your life; or a modern general equipped    with everything that the west has to offer in    weapons	Traditional General         [close]

These are not all the units in the Imperial Japan faction. There are more! We will show them to you in due time... or not... surprises are always nice

Now for some credits

Many thanks to Phlpp from the Gekokujo mod for Warband for his wonderful props, weapons, and other contributions to Imperial Japan. There will be lots of epic new maps that will come out of his efforts!

Thanks to SacredStoneHead, for his awesome Samurai Armour which we were able to customize. They defiantly add a lot to the traditional troops.

The OSP samurai pack (Lord of the Golden Fan), made by Bogmir, for his weapons and some other stuff.

Awesomeness, only thing I have to say is that the Satsuma hats look really odd if you know what I mean...

[SeanBeansShako]

Ten thousand years of awesome. I guess you guys can finally now haz Japan.

In advance, keep these comments to yourselves. Our modding scene really doesn't need any kind of negativity right now.

What he's saying is that when you express that kind of negativity, you really are damaging the mod and everything that the modders have been working on for months/years in some cases.

The reason mods go dead is because people say they're dead, often when they aren't (at least not at the time they say they are). Basically just if you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing at all, especially if you don't offer any constructive criticism, but just say that you didn't like it.

Simply awesome, cant believe I hadn't seen this until now **(Just noticed the time posted, thats why I hadn't noticed! xD), great work, both of you, cant wait to play!
Imperial Japan was an odd one, the amalgamation of West and East, a great choice for the mod, I cannot wait to see the other new factions.

One small nitpicky fussy pointer, Ninja never wore black because it was easier to see in the moonlight navy blue or maybe a little lighter would be more along the correct lines (Sorry to be a bitch about it).

I think they should have expanded on a different faction
and I didn't say the mod was dead...

[SeanBeansShako]

You could have been a lot less rude about it, Parrot has been working on this stuff for the last 3 months more or less. And keep in mind there is another faction reveal to go too.

Also, he forget to mention he redid the module so modding the established factions and their models is much easier than the previous build so for those not big fans of Imperial Japan or the coming mystery faction can work towards client side faction replacements.
