To Lil Ben, the Mist Academy is on the civic tree, not the tech tree. I had the unlocked tech changed to a civic when I made the mod. You can find it on the Mercenaries civic.

Hey, there seems to be an issue where you can't get the mist academy as it doesn't seem to be on the tech tree (the armory that it replaces is also missing). Do you think you will come back to fix this?

Hello Santi, that was definitely something I have thought of it back when I was making the mod, but considering that I approached this mod with the simple intent to make Naruto civs..... let's just say that's an idea best reserved for a potential Naruto mod for civ 7 ^^" (Yeah I'm likely coming back to just mod the same stuff in civ 7, plus more XD)

Anbu units are definitely coming under Tobirama btw

is there any thoughts on potentially having shinobi have a custom promotion tree? something that uses the titles of Genin, Chuunin, and Jounin. could be other likes an ANBU. anyway I would love to help if you decide to go this route.

Major update coming in 3 days!!! (8th) Added Sistine compatibility and will correct some stuff~

Hmmmm.... only the Armory (replaced by the Mist Academy) is likely to be affected, but other than that I can't see this mod causing any issues of such especially since I myself play with a few mods that also adjust buildings and districts, albeit to a minimal extent only. (I can't use JNR's building mods for example cause it causes too much changes, making my mods incompatible with it)

As for the others, well for the Hidden Leaf, only the University will prob be affected. The Hidden Sand prob can't make extra science out of extra Campus buildings other than the classic three you know already, tho I haven't tried this. New districts not part of the vanilla game will prob not get Hashirama's production bonus. Other than these, if none of these will be a problem for you, you should be fine.

How compatible is this mod and the other ones like it with mods that adjust districts and buildings? If I install this mod, will this civ lack the modded buildings and districts that other civs get?

Reminder that there's an update coming tomorrow to fix the mistake i made last time.

Apologies to the Chinese players who use this mod, I made a mistake that involved forgetting to press an important button right before the update.

The recent update was supposed to upload the complete Chinese translation, but I accidentally forgot to press something important so.... concerning city names, expect a possible compatibility error especially with the Hidden Sand and Hidden Cloud mods. (Although now that i think abt it, they don't have chinese translation yet so.... it should not be too bad.)

I will fix this update next week. (April 9)

Minor update coming in 3 days, just some stuff related to city names. Recent events from Boruto revealing new places in the Land of Water, along with developments from the Naruto City-State mod has prompted this.

Normally, I'd release this two days from now (I have a rule not to do modding work on Sundays), but the Hidden Sand, Cloud, and Stone (which i have not prepared to make yet) are also due for updates, so for convenience reasons I will release it on the 2nd of April instead.

SECOND NOTICE: I’m moving the release date of this update to Nov 6

By the way, concerning the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, I've noticed that the Hidden Mist AI NEVER shows up with them, not even once.... while the AI has a reputation for making stupid decisions, I found the other reason: It's a flaw on my own part, i completely forgot to code in how the AI should use the Seven Ninja Swordsmen... this should hopefully be fixed now, but it is completely untested

To everyone reading this comment, if you're playing with this mod after the update in 3 days, please give your feedback, especially on if an AI Mizukage uses one of the Seven in your games. Any problem spotted, please let know, this would be much appreciated as I'm not in a position to test this mod right at all now until after my planned update on the Hidden Stone mod

Greetings, major mod update coming to the Hidden Mist on November 4!!! Apart from the usual flavor and small balance changes that happened to the previous three, i've also made some major tweaks to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen (BUH, they were the most complicated to create last year x-x) to make them more useful now!!!

No worries, and thank you! I hope I can complete it as soon as I can so we can all enjoy it :>

Ohh, thanks a lot! Now I feel dumb haha.


Good luck with your next mod!

Hi Nimble, to answer your question it's on the civic tree, not the tech tree :)

Civilopedia can actually answer those questions easily, but to answer you myself I believe you need Guilds to unlock it (Hence the need for emphasizing culture development.... Mei's ability and the Mist shinobi paired with Great Generals or the Seven helps with this thankfully)

Thanks for the response! There's just one thing I don't understand: how do I unlock the Mist Academy? I don't see it anywhere on the tech tree.

Hi Nimble, glad to hear you are enjoying the mod! Yes this took weeks, actually several months :> (Testing the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to make sure it worked properly was the most tedious part xD)

To answer your question, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen is just like Gran Colombia’s Comandante General (which doesn’t appear in the Great People screen either); it cannot be obtained via normal means, you have to build at least one Mist Academy, and then you will receive one when the next era begins, and then another in the next era, and so on :)

Also, as of now I don’t have any plans for an official Hidden Rain civ (currently it’s coming as a city-state which I am working on a Naruto city-states mod), but it is by far THE most requested village outside the five, so I’ll give it some consideration when I finish the planned naruto content I made and still want to make more (tho tbh i dont mind another modder making a hidden rain mod as well xD)

Hello! FIrst of all, I want to thank you for the countless hours of work (I presume) that lead to this mod. It's truly been a very enjoyable time. Secondly, I had a few questions, 2 to be exact.

How can I aquire the mod's unique Great Person? Nothing seems to generate points towards it (in fact, I can't even see it in the Great Person tab).

Also, could you please consider making an Amegakure (Hidden Rain Village) civ? It's my favourite of the ones explored in canon and I think Hanzo and Pain/Konan could make for very interesting leaders.

Minor update coming tomorrow, found a way to potentially get around a compatibility issue caused by the shinobi's cs bonus from promotions

UPDATE: I will be releasing the update early, as in an hour or a few hours from the posting of this comment. I've noticed since yesterday, that my laptop where I made this mod has been hit with.... something that slows its entire performance down, that I have not been able to solve with conventional methods, so I will need to reformat it, hence why I will be releasing the updates before doing so.

I also believe it will be better for more people that I release the updates first so that they can enjoy it, and so that the issues with my laptop will not delay its scheduled release tomorrow. It should be great news for those who love playing this mod too, as they'll essentially be getting new features a day early.

As always, feedback is appreciated, although if I were to change something in the near future (hopefully I don't, but if needed then I hope it'll be a minor tweak), it'll have to wait till my laptop is back running properly in good condition.

Major update coming this coming Monday! Needed to make some rebalances, so I made tweaks to the Shinobi (once again. hopefully this will be the last major one tho cause i have another mod unrelated to naruto that i need to attend to that i agreed to help with a while back)

the idea is awesome
I find hidden mist is lacking early game in combat
maybe just grand the a swordsmen each era automaticly?

Not sure what you mean but if you’re asking why they aren’t appearing, you need at least one Mist Academy in your empire, best to build them asap cause to be specific, they appear when you’re transitioning into a new era (starting from classical to medieval of course, and if you miss out on having a mist academy, then they won’t appear till the next era after you build your first one.)

If they still don’t appear, feel free to lemme know, that could be a technical error of some sort I need to look into (assuming the error isn’t being caused by any other unrelated mod you have of course)

When are the seven ninja swords men joining the battle?

Minor update coming tomorrow! Just some corrections on some text concerning the Chinese translation for this mod

I have leader-specific shinobi units coming that'll replace the Skirmisher when the alternate leaders are released, hence why I didn't bother getting the shinobi to replace the skirmisher

Besides, testing the naruto civs several times.... there's the fact that after countless tests, the Man-At-Arms consistently ends up being very underutilized even when the Shinobi was a standalone unique unit (Just due to the shinobi being so much better in every way), and in my personal case i end up never having to create them.... tho to be fair, this underutility is also the same case with skirmishers, in my tests i only get them because of upgraded scouts.

But hmm, if you find this a questionable creative decision, I'd be happy, even fascinatingly curious to know why you feel uncomfortable with it (and a helpful solution that may end up being better than what we have now would also be worth it if you have one!)

see the naruto civs dont have man-at-arms unit at all then?
but do they have skirmisher AND shinobi???

Recon unit that replaces a melee unit (it's kinda like alexander's hetairoi being a heavy cavalry replacing the horseman, a light cavalry unit)

quote: "Hidden Mist unique Medieval era recon unit that replaces the Man-At-Arms"
is the shinobi a recon or melee replacement?

I just finished uploading the update to this mod, so let me inform everyone here:

While working on the giant update that was the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, it turns out I was able to find a decent (possibly op in domination) leader ability for Gengetsu, the Second Mizukage after all! So, he'll be added with the other Mizukage in a matter of time~

(Btw, IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE: Only five of the seven ninja swordsmen will be accessible for those who only have the expansions, you will need the New Frontier Pass to have all seven, specifically the Maya and Gran Colombia Pack, and the Byzantium and Gaul Pack. But otherwise, the entire mod should work fine without those two, just that you will only be able to have 5 of the 7 without them)

Giant update coming in three days! (The 24th)
Changes will include tweaks on the shinobi units, some tweaks on the Mist Academy, and most exciting and significant of all, I've finally managed to find a way to make the Seven Ninja Swordsmen playable as special great people! Expect it to function in a similar way to Gran Colombia's Comandante General, but with also some unique (and hopefully practical) functions! It took so much painstaking effort to finally add them xD

(Special thanks to Jim Lahey in the comments for sparking the idea in me several months agp)

Minor update coming tomorrow! As I work on the Third Tsuchikage's sprite, I decided to do over a slight remake to the leader icon of the Mizukage, so some adjustments coming to the look his portrait tomorrow! (It's super minor and completely irrelevant in terms of gameplay, so you can ignore this unless I decide later to add something at the last minute before the update)

Looking forward to this update!!
很期待这次更新！！
很期待這次更新！！

BIG NEWS! Chinese translation coming tomorrow! (Much thanks to Clear8Sky, I'm super grateful for your help, and am really excited about the release!)

I will be updating the mod tomorrow for that, and a typo error spotted in Mei's behavior similar to the one I found in Gaara's AI code that I need to fix!

Guys I found a mistake that prevents the Mist's Civilopedia from displaying properly so I'm releasing an update tomorrow to fix that

guten tag
nani！？
wwwwwwwww

Minor update coming tomorrow! Saw a thing I needed to correct, regarding the configuration code of citizen names

also to the ppl asking, good news: chinese translation is already underway!
I'll post another comment here explaining the details once it's ready :>

chinese，too

Also:
1. I'm already looking into it since you posted your comment... however idk Chinese unfortunately, and I'm not sure how popular Naruto is in China, cause I've asked several modder friends who know the language & they aren't confident in providing a good translation since none of them know Naruto.... unless u can help translate? I'm open to it if you are :>
Still, I'll try to see if one can be made, but don't rely on it too much.

2. I think the Great Generals bonus already fill that role, cause Mist Shinobi accumulate more GGP than the others (+10 compared to +7), along with the Culture bonus per kill that's exclusive to them
Still, I'll admit it's somewhat stale tbh, but I can't think of anything better... hmm except maybe, I could make them a unique great person like with Simon Bolivar? (Got the idea literally just now while writing xD, but I need to consider whether it is worth changing the current bonuses and how it must be done if so.... very carefully.)

Updating this mod tomorrow! I adjusted DLC/mod requirements to give this mod more compatibility.

I feel like this faction needs a different unique unit to the shinobi. One of the 7 swordsman of the mist.

Germany: "Guten tag"
Hidden Villages: "Nani!?"

I need chinese

I just got word that there was a place in the Land of Water that showed up in a very recent Boruto episode (read the wiki, I don't watch the anime) so I'm updating this mod again tomorrow.... I've already released too many updates over petty things while releasing this and I'm already tired so I'll just stick to the rule and do it tomorrow 😓

In the meantime, enjoy the new mod 😊
