Rise of Takeda

Four new units for Takeda.
All units are Takeda exclusive, so if mod is active you can see them in game either by playing as Takeda or meeting AI playing as Takeda.

Horse armor is part of locobilbo's Portuguese Faction Mod.

• Sons of Kai [UPDATE #2]
  Light sword infantry armed with bow as secondary weapon. Pretty cheep for their stats, not high upkeep. Worse accuracy than bow ashigaru but a bit higher missile damage. No special abilities.
  
  
  • Unit class: Sword infantry
    
  • Unit size: 160
    
  • Requirements: Sword Dojo
    
  • Additional: Bow, Guerilla deployment
  
  
• Tigresses of Kai [UPDATE #1]
  Elite lady cavalry. Faster compared to rest of the vanilla cavalry. Decent armour, good melee attack and defence. Can be deployed anywhere on map (Ninja style). To make it some kind of "elite unit" only 5 of them can be recruited.
  
  
  • Unit class: Sword cavalry
    
  • Unit size: 80
    
  • Requirements: Bajutsu Master Dojo, Sword Dojo
    
  • Abilities: Hold Firm, Warcry
    
  • Recruitment limit: 5 units
    
  • Additional: Guerilla deployment, Immune to attrition
  
  
• Cataphracts
  Heavy cavalry, well armoured. Sadly, there is no horse armour besides mask, so it's not visual, but horses are more resistant to arrow fire. Horses are slower than Yari Cavalry, but on pair with Katana Cavalry, Bow Cavalry and Great Guard.
  
  
  • Unit class: Spear cavalry
    
  • Unit size: 80
    
  • Requirements: Bajutsu Master Dojo, Yari Drill Yard, Iron resource
    
  • Abilities: Wedge formation
  
  
• Heavy Lancers
  Inspired by Mongols (if it's possible here), in terms of armour and lance/bow combo. Because of the way the game is created it's not possible to see bow and lance at the same time, well, it is but they overlap, so when weapon is used it's visible while other is not.
  
  
  • Unit class: Spear cavalry
    
  • Unit size: 80
    
  • Requirements: Warhorse Stables, Naginata Dojo, Horse resource
    
  • Abilities: Wedge formation, Swooping crane
    
  • Additional: Bow

NOTE: Wedge requires General's skill in campaign. In custom battles it works normally.

• Mod is save game compatible.
  
• Available for both, player and AI.
  
• Modpack name is takeda_rise.pack

Feedback concerning possible bugs/glitches or the mod itself would be appreciated.
Have fun and enjoy, cheers!
