I do not know whether you can marry the claimants, but there is at least one female claimant, possibly more. In addition to companions, those settlements provide goods and cheap, relatively poor troops.Īnother big difference is that fortifications do not have tall stone walls, so sieges do not involve ladders, but mostly battles over gates.

Before you can control them, you have to take them over. You can control one of these settlements for free, and then one for each two points of leadership. There is also a brand new type of companions, which are recruited from a brand new type of settlement.

The companions in that mod are very numerous and some are extremely powerful. The exception is the Ikko Ikki, who cannot promote any of the above units to top tier, but have another troop tree, made of monks, who can become the most deadly infantry, but without helmets, or pretty good at everything else - slightly worse than top tier samurai, slightly better than the next to last tier. Takeda has the most skilled riders and the best horses, Hojo's archers are better equipped than most, etc. The differences are subtle, both in skill and equipment, but they're there. Same tier units from different clans are almost, but not quite as good as each other. The other three lines only reach the next to last tier. ranged peasants (a mix of archers and gunners)Įvery clan can promote one peasant line and two samurai lines to max tier.
