Sekigahara Campaign have Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro isn't it? Well, Its not one-man unit like in the old Shogun, more of Hero + a dozen Disciples.

no i mean Kensai, one of the original units in the first shogun game. this is just an idea for any modders out there.

You mean that unit from the original Shogun that was just massive bloke with a No-Dachi model?

Kensai mean "sword saint" in both Shogun I and D&D. He is a one man army unit in Shogun I. Someone did try to make a mod but ashigaru swarm and kill him so fast that it's not worth it.

A unit consisting of 1 officer and 5-10 kensais with very high melee defense should do the trick.

okay please stop trying to correct me, that ♥♥♥♥ is anoying i know what kensai is. i just dont approve of any translation. nothing directly translates correctly in my opinion. its a japenese word and any direct translations will be subjective.

now back to the main point, what was the name of the mod id like to try it out.

It's not a translation, it was from the unit description. I did not try to correct you or anything, I only comment on one of your other comment about @Destin comment because he was right which I fail to quote properly.

FYI: Kensai does not meant 'sword saint' in Japanese so it is not a translation but rather a fictional word. Sai might be a shorten version of Seijin, but it most likely come from D&D..Of course you wouldn't know it if you are not a D&D fan.

back to the topic, It should be there some where in the workshop but I doubt the creator update it.

look man dont start nit picking to save face. The word "Kensai" or "Kensei" is based off of japenese swordsman legends. It can is used in a lot of ways. noun, adj... DnD did not create these legends(musashi?!). Obviously the use of kensei or kensai is works of fiction. I never said it was real. However it is japanese based legend. so gtfo and quit trying to troll me.
