GCT Studios: Weitere Bushido Previews

GCT Studios zeigen weitere Neuheiten für Bushido.

Up in the Ro-Kan Mountains, there is rarely a need for an organised militia as most villages are protected from bandits and outsiders by the monks of the Temple. This works well enough that most organised groups know not to target villages up in the mountains. Still, the villages need protection, and most have a group of their people to watch the village at night, stop any excessive conflict between families and keep back wild animals. They solve most of their problems by bringing shouting villagers and fire to scare off the upland bears and mountain gorillas. They lack real training, and unfortunately, layers of straw armour may protect them from snake bites and even simple knives and sticks, but they are no match for a katana.

Have you ever been playing your Bastions of the Mountain Warband and thought you didn’t have enough villagers for a peasant uprising? This is what you have been waiting for! With as low a Rice Cost as possible, these villagers will run away to find even more defenders, allowing you to play a true swarm of villagers, or will these extra bodies make your Warband able to fit a tricksy kitsune or sacred kami?

The Eddo Garrison rarely leaves Eddo, which allows them to wear the heavier armour they are known for. As a garrison, they also wield heavy naginata rather than the lighter yari. Since Hiro’s ascension to the Family seat, he has sent the Eddo ashigaru further afield. They are known for their intense personal loyalty to Hiro. These ashigaru have spent much time with the young samurai on patrols and in Eddo. They bear the burden of their heavy gear, marching far from home without complaint, and any would give their life for their daimyo.

Options for Armour (3), Brutal and Powerful Attack gives Claws of the Dragon a decent melee bruiser, not needing to rely on Push attack and Reach for Melee. Of course, you pay for this in Rice, so how will your list change?

Minimoto Koyama is a living legend to both those who are sent to and who serve at the Garrison of the Damned. She has served at the Garrison most of her adult life, and in an expedition into the underworld, suffered a shame no other Minimoto could bear: the loss of her armour. The only piece she brought back came to house the kami that has been named Aoi. Koyama feels an obligation to the ashigaru who stood by her when all she had was shame, and she finds herself coming into conflict with the Nanashi more often than not. Should a scout come to her for aid, she will lead the way, Aoi glowing in one hand, and an axe ready in the other.

Minimoto Koyama brings further variety to the Minimoto samurai and is the epitome of a samurai used to fighting back the bakemono horde. She brings useful abilities for finding camouflaged foes, and she can light up the area around her using Aoi, mitigating Darkness effects. Of course, being a Minimoto samurai, Koyama is no slouch in combat either, even if she wields an axe instead of a tetsubo.

Außerdem gab es weitere Previews auf Prereleases auf der UK Expo dieses Wochenende:
