Way-To-Go Jomni. That's actually an ancient Japanese term meaning, "Thank you Sir. For your hard work and dedication". Either that or, "Pass the Saki", I can't remember which. O0

Jomni,

Brilliant!  Thank you for your superb effort.

I don't know what you actually do for a living, but it should be this.

You've made my day.

Excellent, thank you.

I am a nut about Oda Nobunaga, and there are just so few sources about him that don't cost hundreds of dollars.

I never cease to be amazed by some of the uber-mods that people create!

Mod is updated.

Sengoku Jidai (Skirmish only) v0.4

(SP & MP)

When you have finished any outstanding MP games, you are advised to delete v0.3 and download v0.4.

You can delete SP v0.3 in game in the Historical Menu.

Because it has no scenarios, there is no in-game way to delete the MP version. You will find it in

My Documents/My Games/PIKEANDSHOT/Multiplayer.

This means that deleting it from the iPad may be a challenge!

The new version has the following changes:

1) Bows can shoot overhead.
2) Honjins will disperse rather than routing.

An excellent mod - I am playing it now as Hojo vs Imagawa. There are lots of unit choices. I love the terrain localisation changes. The one change I would make would be to the sound files to replace the charging sound to a rousing "Banzai!". This is not a criticism, as it is an excellent mod, just an idea.

Do you plan adding historical scenarios in time?

A BIG thank you for making this freely available to the community. O0

Banzai is a world war 2 thing.  And it's a cry for the Emperor.  These samurai don't respect the Emperor.
As for scenarios, please stay tuned for some news.

Banzai - fair enough. I hadn't realised.

Anyway, a great mod. Let us know if you get around to any scenarios. :)
