V3.0 - 07/06/2013

• Addition of Fall of the Samurai Campaign Ninja Hero unit - The Shinobi Hero.
  
  ・ Balanced for play against other FOTS factions Primarily. This unit is superior to Kisho Ninjas in almost every way. Deadly in melee, this unit is perfect for Ambushes due to its ability to blend into its surroundings much more effectively than other ninja. It's superior mastery of the Shinobi-arts also allows it to throw firebombs further than other Ninja (75 yards in oppose to the default of 50 for standard Kisho Ninja), and can also do this whilst hidden without betraying its position! The unit also has the ability to use stealth on the campaign map - much like the Ninja Agent, and is also immune to attrition due to survival training. Available to all clans who have built a Legendary Samurai Dojo in FOTS Campaign. Also Available in custom battles. Unit has randomised soldiers, and custom artwork for unit leader based on FOTS Ninja Model.
  
  
  
• Rebalancing of Hattori and Tokugawa Ninja Heroes to work as a clan specific hero to be used alongside or or as an alternative to "Hanzo's Shadows" DLC unit -
  
  ・ Disabled recruitment of "Hanzo's Shadows" (DLC ninja hero unit) for Tokugawa and Hattori clans ONLY, as the Ninja Hero Mod gives these factions a stronger and more unique Ninja unit. All other Shogun 2 factions may recruit "Hanzo's Shadows" as normal (This affects "Saints and Heroes" DLC owners only).
  
  ・ Hattori and Tokugawa Ninja Heroes can now use firebombs, with an increased firing range of 75 yards (increased from 50), but with a limited supply of ammo. Can fire whilst hidden without breaking stealth - making surprise firebomb attacks possible.
  
  ・Decreased detection range of Tokugawa and Hattori Ninja Heroes from 50 to 20 whilst in Long Grass, Scrub and Forests - making them harder to detect.
  
  ・ Tokugawa Ninja Hero Stats Changes - Melee Attack stat increased to 25 (up from 20), bringing it more in line with Hanzo's Shadows. Also Increased Charge to 30. Additional abilities - Now has Paths Seldom Trod, Campaign Map Stealth, Inspire aura and Immunity to Campaign map Attrition, while retaining "Hold Firm" ability and Unique Garrisoning Police Bonus.
  
  ・ Hattori Ninja Hero Stats Changes - Melee Attack stat increased to 28 (up from 25), making it stronger in melee than the other Ninja Hero units. Charge increased to 30 (bringing it in line with other Tokugawa and Hanzo's Shadows units). Additional abilities - Unit now has Paths Seldom Trod, Campaign Map Stealth, Inspire aura and Immunity to Campaign Map Attrition, While retaining "Warcry" Ability.
  
  
• Addition of new Art assets and unit randomisations for Hattori and Tokugawa Ninja Heroes -
  
  ・ Addition of Three possible unit randomisation skins for soldiers in ninja hero unit, one of which has team colourable lacing and trim. (Red for Hattori, Orange for Tokugawa based on default clan colouring.)
  
  ・ Addition of Leather Curaiss, and Leather Shoulder Pauldrons as Unit randomisation option.
  
  ・ Ninja Hero Unit Leaders now correctly have Haidate style Thigh Guards.
  
  
• Further Optimisation and merging of packfile structure -
  
  ・ Consolidation of Hattori, Tokugawa and Shinobi Hero units into one packfile.
  
  ・ Hattori Clan Aesthetic Upgrade Removed from main packfile and placed into an independent and wholly optional packfile. Merged with "Scope's Extended Ninja Units for Hattori & Tokugawa" Available on steam -
