As mentioned on Patreon, this is not a huge update rules-wise, but layout-wise a lot has changed compared to the older versions released in the past 10 months! Points costs are now next to the statline, base sizes are included on each unit's page, the options and weapon profiles are clearer laid out, and the PDF has proper headings for each individual unit which will make it a lot easier to find what you are looking for. This will be the new layout for all books going forward. As for Nippon itself; I have not done too many changes. The biggest is probably the removal of Lore of the Kami, but f ..read more

As mentioned on my Patreon, this not that large an update, mainly meant to do a few balance tweaks and include more Magic Items in the new format. Note that the reference sheet is not included, this is because I am planning on redoing them for future books to contain the stats of the units instead of base size/LoS/Unit Strength.

Camels for characters are cheaper. Hashishin may take regular magic items. Removed ..read more

Been a bit over a month since the beta was posted, and hoo boy was there a lot of things on the request list to go through! I've taken a lot of things into consideration, with a lot of things pending on future feedback. In general I've tried to keep most powers and items to have rules fitting their original rules and lore as much as possible, which is why I am hesitant to change a lot of them as is, unless I can think off a better solution. The list overall has some issues with bloat as a result of including so many "bloodline" units, but the main reason for this is to better allow people to p ..read more

As mentioned on Patreon, this is a smaller update compared to the previous recent ones, mainly attempting to address some balance issues and adding in more magic items from Total War. Some items have been moved around to the special characters as well. I've also removed Ghorth and Hothgar that lacked both official models and rules and did not add much to the army list overall. I might consider adding them back eventually if I can figure out what to do with them, but in the meantime I doubt they will be particularly missed. Ideally I would like to add even more magic items to the book; so I ho ..read more
