    Default Annoyed by the lack of unit diversity? Solution to lack of unit diversity without diverging to anime and is historical............I think.


    Are you tired of seeing the same units over and over again? Sick and longing just an inch of diversity, and not another japanese guy in a O-yoroi armor? After seeing complaints about unit diversity but never actually suggesting any units, might as well take the lead. Then fret no more, all you have to do is ask CA to include this units in a patch to solve that dilemma. Its quite a feat actually without calling in more ninja units so I am confident this will hold.

    I think CA should take a leaf out of "Genji: Days of the Blade's" book and include the GIANT ENEMY CRAB. It was after all based off Ancient Japanese history

    Add some Yurei. They will surely bring up some flavor, as well as giving you and AI some associated supernatural powers.

    And maybe a dilemna that asks: A foreigner named Rance has come into Oda lands, will you allow him to take over your clan for the good of Japan. Instant honor and diplomacy drop, but heightened military capabilities and Rance starts as a 10-star general, 1 in 9000 chance of activating.

    ... I am tempted to try a writeup for a Legend of the Five Rings mod...

    My personal favorite, who was so awesome he became the Fortune of persistence:

    Read his story about when he was young. Freaking awesome.

    I mean, look at him.
