Shadows of Brimstone: Daimyo Hero Pack

A clan leader and military general who combines battlefield command with personal combat, this hero begins each adventure accompanied by up to three Armored Ashigaru foot-soldier allies. Play centers on positioning and tactical choices: the character uses leadership abilities and a skill tree to boost allies, issue orders, and coordinate attacks, while also engaging enemies directly as a trained samurai warrior. Components support campaign play and customization, with a hero sheet, upgrade rules, game cards, and miniatures for the daimyo (both male and female) plus three Ashigaru foot soldiers.

    - Expansion - New heroes are maybe the most game-changing expansions you can get. The game is fun anyway, but different heroes make games very distinct. The Daimyo gameplay is centered around allies, which makes them totally unique among the available Heroes. They can command an army of (up to) 3 Ashigaru allies and/or specialize in giving buffs to their team. This Hero is a KS exclusive from the Forbidden Fortress campaign, but it is different enough from "standard" Heroes to be interesting if you can find it (even at a higher price).
