Armored Unit Pack

Description
"It takes true samurai to charge into musket fire and prevail!"
-Date Bulletproof Samurai description.


As time went on and on, I increasingly questioned the universe,
"Oh universe, why is it that there is only one type of Bulletproof unit? Could there not be more?"

The universe didn't answer, so I answered in it's stead,
"Do it yourself, you scrub."

THUS! Without further ado, I present the Armored Unit Pack!

Containing the following units:
Armored Naginata Samurai
Well-armored and equipped with the naginata. Even the greatest of matchlocks cannot pierce the determination of these samurai!

Recruitable from any Lv2 Yari Dojo with an Armoury built in the same province. The Hattori clan has a Kisho-trained version.


Armored Bow Ashigaru
Armored Bow Ashigaru are capable of both harassing enemies with blade and bow, but should not be relied on to fight in a prolonged melee.

Recruitable from any Lv1 Castle with an Armoury built in the same province. The Chosokabe and Oda clans have superior Armored Bow Ashigaru, while the Ikko Ikki have greater numbers with lesser stats. The Hattori clan has a Kisho-trained version.


Armored Bow Samurai
True samurai fight with bow and blade, but the best samurai wear heavy armor while still being capable of combat.

Recruitable from any Lv1 Bow Dojo with an Armoury built in the same province. The Chosokabe clan have superior Armored Bow Samurai. The Hattori clan has a Kisho-trained version.


Armored Matchlock Ashigaru
These ashigaru are armed with matchlock arquebuses and heavy armor, allowing them to fire at their foes and take little damage in return.

Recruitable from any Lv1 Castle with an Armoury built in the same province and Gunpowder Mastery researched. The Otomo clan has a superior version that is recruitable from the lv2 Workshop, the Ikko Ikki have a version with superior numbers but lesser stats, the Oda have a superior version, and the Hattori, like always, has a Kisho-trained version.

Armored Matchlock Samurai
These matchlock-armed samurai wear armor of a higher quality than usual, allowing them to take less missile damage from their enemies.

Recruitable from any Lv3 Workshop with an Armoury built in the same province. The Otomo clan have a superior version while the Hattori have Kisho Training.


Armored Yari Ashigaru
Though already tough without armor, Armored Yari Ashigaru become near-impenetrable due to their tough armor.

Recruitable from any Lv1 Castle with an Armoury built in the same province. The Oda clan have a superior version, while the Ikko Ikki have superior numbers but lesser stats, and the Hattori still have Kisho Training.


Armored Yari Samurai
These spear-wielding samurai are capable of charging into musket fire and coming out unscathed.

Recruitable from any Lv1 Yari Dojo with an Armoury built in the same province. The Date clan have a superior version based off the Date Bulletproof Samurai with better stats, while the Hattori clan still have Kisho Training.


Armored Katana Ashigaru
Though ahistorical, these well-armored katana-wielding Ashigaru more than prove their worth in battle.

Recruitable from any Lv1 Castle with an Armoury built in the same province. The Oda and Shimazu clans have superior versions, while the Ikko Ikki have greater numbers with lesser stats, and the Hattori clan version can deploy anywhere thanks to, you guessed it, Kisho Training.
An regular version exists as well, avaliable for all clans with their respective bonuses. The unarmored version only requires a Lv1 Castle.


Armored Katana Samurai
The katana has already been noted as a fine weapon, combine that with fine armor turns these samurai into veterans with no equal.

Recruitable from any Lv1 Sword Dojo with an Armoury built in the same province. The Shimazu have a superior version, while the Hattori clan always will have Kisho Training.


Armored No-Dachi Samurai
To charge into battle without armor is brave, but foolish. Better yet to charge once with armor and live another day, so that one may charge again.

Recruitable from any Lv2 Sword Dojo with an Armoury built in the same province. The Date clan have a superior version, while the Hattori are shinobi weebs.


Important Notes
-All Armored Samurai use the base game's Bulletproof Samurai models.
-All Armored Ashigaru units, even Ikko Ikki Ashigaru, use a custom model. As you might have noticed, there are Ashigaru models with Samurai helmets. This is because the Armored Ashigaru models are using Laced helmets, which are historically cheaper than the Riveted helmets.
-All Armored ranged units have +10 to their accuracy and reloading skill compared to the vanilla version.
-All Armored units have +6 armor and +3 morale compared to the vanilla version.
-All other stats not mentioned here have recieved a +1 all across the board.
-All Armored units have the bulletproof modifier applied to them.
-In exchange, all Armored units are much more expensive, with higher upkeep and costs.
-Date Bulletproof Samurai has been disabled, having been made redundant by Armored Date Yari Samurai.
-UI pictures were made by me in paint.net, a free program that can be found online.
-Mod file will be called Armored_Bullets.pack
-Please post bug reports in the discussion board below.

As mentioned before, I have created custom Katana Ashigaru units in this mod. Other Katana Ashigaru unit mods can be used, but are not encouraged. If you want to use other Katana Ashigaru mods with this mod though, please proceed to the link below:
