You need to check you pm box more often... :? The samurais I was talking about? We need to finish that tree. Like a Samurai general or something. Can you think of a better name?

And Kafka, here's the cfg files for the far east faction...

Ah yes appleide I think I've got a good packet of informations for ninjas. Maybe it can be usefull like putting different ninjas. Ehm Kafka?... What do you think if we add different type of ninjas?
For example:
lv.0: battler thief
->Genin(initiate)

lv.1: Genin
->Chuunin(medium)
->Anbu(Secret ninjas)

lv.2: Chuunin
->Jounin(Leader)
->Tabi-nin(solitaire)

lv.2: Anbu
->Great assassin
->Unfiled-nin

lv.3: Jounin
->Saikyou-jounin.

lv.3: Unfiled-nin
->Ninja of darkness.

Japanese armies didn't use ninjas army, did they? I think it'd be better if there were only 1 ninja lvl1, 1 ninja lvl2, 1 ninja lvl3.


Hey, Seiryu, have you finished the samurai general guy?

Armies did use ninjas but not as armies they did two things spy or assasinate the claw dancer lines kinda do both the dancer can spy while the true ninja off of it can spy and kill. Hmmm the only thing I'm pondering on adding with Kafka is the mystery unit which was a lv 5 past empereor. That was the unit which was to introduce eastern dragons most likely by making it become one. Yes the exp requirements to get it were planned to be ridiculous 300+ The reasoning behind this is it can be cited in asian lore in a few spots of some high noble or or emperoer wishing he be the guardian dragon for the land when he died. But this is still an iffy unit and was not submitted ad it wasn't discussed much. Other unit possibilities are making one maybe two special campaign only units like loyalists have generals etc. Note Me and Kafka rarely talked about a campaign only unit but if you guys which to make some go right ahead.
May the drakes bloody kill you all.

The dragons several korean and japanese mangas which actualy site their sources for such things in sidebars telling how they took from real folktales . The one that stands out most in my mind is Dragon Hunters" as it was pretty much all about dragons and went into eastern and western dragon myths in sidebars.

Disregard the banner and use brigther colors. IIRC, commanders carried a cane or staff with them, and wearing bright colors was a sign of importance. So maybe giving him a red amour and a staff could suffice.

you've been watching too much naruto - I strongly suggest you check the etymology of this term. (Hint: It's an acronym that the show's creators made up, and ANBU are only found in konoha, not in the real world).

Normal because the anbu's (or ninjas) aren't here anymore.

Hem... I've already said that it was similar. And if you want I'll try to make his armour to red. And I've already changed the helmet if you can see!! 8)
