They did not, however, become hidebound: when their vassals in Tanegashima met a strange, shipwrecked people from the other side of the world, the Shimazu were quick to see that trade with these "nanban" Europeans might be worthwhile. Thanks to a well-organised army and administration, abundant local resources, and a certain distance between Kyushu and the Kamakura court, the Shimazu clan became rich and powerful. The young man took the name of Shimazu in Hyuga province, his seat of government, as his own. In 1187, Yoritomo appointed his son, Tadahisa, as military governor of southern Kyushu. The clan can trace its ancestry back to Minamoto Yoritomo, the founder and first shogun of the Kamakura shogunate. Shimazu katana samurai are cheaper to recruit and maintain in the field than those of other clans they can also recruit superior katana-armed samurai. To the Shimazu, loyalty is everything, and their generals are less likely to develop ambitions of their own. Their ability is the only thing that makes them useful,The Poke Wall,Gonna Impale them all,makes the ashigaru has tighter formation,Higher attack value(since 2 or more ashigaru is trying to attack the enemy),and giving them Small Morale Bonus,but at the cost of a small amount of Fatigue is made.The Shimazu are a proud clan, with a long history worthy of their pride. They have just 1 Trait that was common,they can hide in woods,but the Hattori Ashigaru can actually hide in Scrubs,if the 200 Peasants can fit in. The Cavalry bonus was nice,having 23-25 Attack against those My Little Ponies fans is great. Their armor was Munition Quality(Mass Produced) Made,not like those Anime Samurai Protagonist with their Plot Armor,but Plot armor is more effective at deflecting hits,and Arrows,so the ashigaru only has 2 Base armor. The Defense of this unit is Pathetic having 3 at standard(including Hattori),2 for the Ikko Ikki,and 4 for the Oda.ĭon't even ask about their Charge,it's only 1# The Attack is fairly Decent with 4 Base Attack for standard,and Hattori Ashigarus,5 Base Attack for Oda Ashigaru,and 3 Base Attack for Ikko Ikki Ashigaru.

The Morale of Ashigaru is mostly 5,but the Oda,Ikko Ikki,and the Hattori has 6 Morale. The Yari Ashigaru holds 200 Men of 99,5% Peasants,and 0,5% Ashigarugashira(Ashigaru Captain)or 240 Men of 99,58% Peasants,and 0,41% Ashigarugashira(Ashigaru Captain)for the Ikko Ikki. The Hattori Yari Ashigaru Cost the same,but more Upkeep at 100 Upkeep. The Oda Yari Ashigaru Cost less to 200 Koku and 50 Upkeep. The Yari Ashigaru Cost 250 Koku and 75 Upkeep. Now let's move on to the statistic of the Unit.
