Important notes
- The Naginata, Bow, and Matchlock Kishi Kachis are more than a match for their samurai and monk counterparts, in exchange for being immensely more expensive.
- Yari Kishi Kachis are weaker than regular Yari Samurai, but are also slightly cheaper. Their inclusion was to have a way for the players to recruit a unit from the Kishi Order Chapter buildings without any limits.
- The Kishi Order Master is effectively a Hero unit. Basically a cross between the Kiyomasa's Katana Cavalry and the Tokugawa Mounted Gunner with more armor, and abilities that basically debuff the enemy. Oh, and they have bullet-proof armor.
- Kirisuto Fanatics are only useful as meat shields. They will not defeat Yari Ashigaru 1 on 1, but will hold them in place for a long time due to high morale. Also, they're cheap with lots of mass.
- Kirisuto Kyo Clerics are not combat troops, despite their high offense stats. They instead have useful abilities that are meant to buff allied units. Despite this, they can still serve as useful shock troops due to their 10 attack. Their UI pictures are edited pictures of the Long Yari Ashigaru. If anyone would like to create a more professional picture, please contact me via private messaging.
- This mod is not entirely balanced. If you would like to suggest some balance changes, please post down below.
- Kishi means Rider, or Knight. So Kishi Order means Knight Order. Creative, no?
