Описание: Total War: SHOGUN 2 1vs1: 9-chevron Ikko Ikki Yari Ashigaru vs Shogitai (FOTS)
Clan: Ikko Ikki vs Aizu
Battle Difficulty: normal

*9-chevron* Ikko Ikki Yari Ashigaru: Yari Wall ON.
*Shogitai: Banzai ON.

Ikko Ikki Yari Ashigaru have 20% more men than the standard, -1 melee attack, -1 melee defense, and +1 morale. Ikko Ikki Yari Ashigaru are inferior in a head-on fight against standard Yari Ashigaru when both sides are inexperienced, but gradually become superior to their counterparts when they're more experienced thanks to their larger number of men benefiting from the experience. Ikko Ikki Yari Ashigaru also look different, with more varied armor and some ragged clothing, but this is purely cosmetic.

Shogitai are similar to katana kachi, but with better melee attack, charge bonus, defense, and morale. In exchange, they have poorer armor and are more expensive to train and maintain. In practice, they are superior to Katana Kachi in every meaningful way in combat: a vast majority of units in Fall of the Samaurai use guns, which ignore armor, or melee, against which armor has limited benefit, so the weak armor of the shogitai means little. In multiplayer, they are also limited to three regiments. Shogitai have far superior melee skill to all ranged infantry in Fall of the Samurai, and are certain to cause heavy casualties if they can close the gap without sustaining too many casualties first. They can achieve this by hiding behind hills or in dense forests, charging and exposing themselves to gunfire at the last moment. Shogitai are thus very beneficial for defending forts, where they often aren't exposed to much fire. Conversely, shogitai are highly vulnerable to ranged attacks. They are also vulnerable to being attacked by cavalry thanks to their lack of an anti-cavalry bonus. Shogitai are considered Shogunate units by the game, and so are instantly disbanded if the player controlling them chooses to declare themselves independent upon realm divide. Imperial factions can still bribe shogitai to their cause using Ishin Shishi: a valuable endeavor given their status as the best melee infantry in the game. As Shogunate units, shogitai benefit from the global discount provided by high level Shinsengumi. While shogitai can only be recruited in the mid-game at earliest thanks to their steep building requirements, the Obama and Sendai begin the campaign with one unit of Shogitai.
