Faction Overview Strategic Overview History

The Japanese have the power of Bushido.

Japan is highly militarised, with very little in the way of culture save for its higher population cap and its cities, which are accustomed to overseas trade with China, Ryukyu and the Choson. Although Nihon has very fertile soil and the seas provide an excellent bounty for the people, land is still nevertheless scarce, and so competition between the clans is always prevalent. Nevertheless, this scarcity of resources means that Nihon is home to master craftsmen as well as warriors, and so the weapons, armour and training Japanese warriors receive tend to be of very good quality.
