Why are the only matchlock naval units the Siege Tower Bune and the Matchlock Kobaya?
A question that has never been answered.... til now... Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you....
The Matchlock Navy
Sails out to meet demands for Shogun 2 players wishing for a Matchlock-themed Naval Unit Pack!
This pack contains the following units:
Medium Matchlock Bune
These ships are good all-rounders: dependable sailors, matchlock-armed marines, and strong enough to go into battle without sacrificing too much battle speed.
Recruitable from any Lv3 Port once a Lv2 Powder Maker is built in the same province,
and once Gunpowder Mastery is researched.
Unit Cap Limit of 8.
Heavy Matchlock Bune
Heavy Bunes are the mainstay of a fleet, however these Heavy Bunes have been equipped with matchlocks instead of bows, making them more deadly.
Recruitable from any Lv4 Port once a Lv3 Gunsmith is built in the same province,
and once Naval Expertise is researched.
Unit Cap Limit of 6.
O Ataka Matchlock Bune
These ships are one of the pinnacles of Sengoku naval technology. Few ships can go into combat against the O Ataka Matchlock Bune and claim victory.
Recruitable from any Lv4 Port once a Lv3 Gunsmith is built in the same province,
and once Mastery of the Waves is researched.
Unit Cap Limit of 4.
Important Notes
