For any Iga/Koga regional troops..

Most realistic portrayal of a soldier we'd call a "ninja" I've seen, illustrates how Japanese light infantry would've fought, it's not at all outside of historical boundaries to assume some of these mercenaries (specialising in night time siege shenanigans or just harrassing/Viet Cong type tactics) would have covered their faces, especially at times when it would be extremely politically incorrect to be associated with the "Men of Iga" or "Men of Koga."



He'd make a pretty badass light infantry type unit for Iga/Koga.

As you can see, he's basically armoured as a classic ashigaru type, but his role is different.

Jesus Christ, you can post in this topic you know.

Sorry, mate, for not answering to your topic.

I like your idea and the unit looks cool.

Whilst I like the concept, I think the unit falls after our time period. There weren't even ashigaru type infantry in the classical sense in the 12th century. Also, Japan only makes up a little proportion of the AUH world, therefore it is limited in terms of its provinces. I'm afraid as you can see from the screenshots neither Iga or Koga province feature. But as I said I like the concept, perhaps a AOR or merc unit, or perhaps the basis for some new strat map assassins.

Not assassins, they were hardly ever such.

More like gueriila warriors, and while I agree that guy does look a bit Sengoku, making a Gempei era version wouldn't be difficult.
