This is just a custom mod made for _4xeno. It replaces the Statue with a rack of Japanese Katana Swords. Made with Micrographx Simply 3D 2, with the help of The_Nomad.
Screenshot:
To install: Double click on the file labeled "Katanas.akx and wait for MPS to install. If you do not have MPS 2.0 or MPS Lite installed already, you can get it here.
I like it, But i already have a mod replacing the Statue :(

I enjoyed this modpack very much.3.5 Seemed a bit low for me and a one sentence review doesn't in my eyes give fair credit. When I first loaded this modpack up I was still gazing at the Swords rack picture in the description.In game I used this in a japanese scenario.
I will mark it on the following~
Visual Appeal, Overall Appeal, Does it fit it's environment?3 sections.
Visual Appeal: I liked the overall katana sword's rack.I enjoy samurai and japan based scenarios so i placed a few buildings set it all around into a japanese environment.To me I found it fitted in nicely,I admit it's a nice mod and I can see myself using it in the future as well as others.It looked good and they're was nothing looking mysteriously out of place about the mod.So I was happy in this section.
Overall Appeal: This appealed to me as I enjoy japanese scenarios /campaigns. I know a lot of people make good samurai campaigns, and I could see this being used. Do I think it could benefit other scenario makers or modpack makers? sure I do.It's a good thing to include, And to be honest I don't really use the statue in many of my scenarios let alone japanese scenarios(It would look out of place)
Does It fit into it's environment convincingly?
I'd have to say it did pretty well.I wasn't thrown back in awww at it,but needless to say It didn't look like it was a bad modpack or didn't fit in.For this I'd have to say It never looked out of place to me.
Overall Comments about this modpack~
I found it a good thing to have and It was very handy if I wanted to use it in a japanese scenario. I think it was a nice addition to the scenario editor,hence i even permanently installed it.Good job IrishStag and The Nomad.Hope you can produce work as good as this in the future.

This very realistic piece of equipement can be put anywhere in any Asian scenario! It can be used for shops, armories or what ever! It just looks so real. The only drawback is that it replaces the commonly used statue; maybe it should replace something less common such as certain trees or plants, otherwise this is a great, realistic mod to play with. Nice job!
