#Famous Squads (有名分隊) — Section Index
Contents
#Identity
Equivalent to the wargame's "honor regiment (名譽連隊)." A collection of distinctive squads that can be hired and mobilized under specific conditions. Each squad possesses 1~2 unique aptitudes or tactics. They do not replace the core squad rules but reinforce them.
Example: the Akazonae (赤備え) follows the Veteran-grade squad numeric standard, while additionally holding the unique aptitude "Terror of the Enemy Line" (adjacent enemy squad Cohesion -1 — 00-05 §12) and the unique tactic "Enemy-Line Breakthrough" (1 time per session).
#Design Goals
- 45~60 famous squads in total.
- Distribution by cultural sphere:
- Sengoku-period Japan: 8~12 kinds
- Joseon: 5~8 kinds
- Ming/Qing: 5~8 kinds
- The West (Switzerland, Germany, England, Rome, Vikings): 8~10 kinds
- Nomadic (Mongol, Cossack): 3~5 kinds
- Fictional/media origin: 5~8 kinds (under altered names)
- Spirit Realm/other-world (1st-expansion compatible): 3~5 kinds
- Hire-condition design: 1~3 conditions among public recognition · renown value · house ties · a specific asset · cause alignment
- Balance: maintain the squad-grade (Mob/Minion/Veteran/Elite/Lord) numeric standard + add only unique effects. 1.5~3× the cost compared to ordinary squads.
- Loyalty system: specify disband/defection conditions upon dishonor or betrayal of the cause.
