Tarik gets Lt2 in Ramuh, so that makes three. And then for Tactical Awareness, you've got it in Dashat and Morats.
Myth Busted. Also the Command and Control faction idea is great. Hope to see some more tactical skills like NCO+Lt2, which is really helping and flavorful. Even a midget Zhanshi can be helped with TA or so, and it will open up free tokens or orders for declaring SF mode on crucial places!
What Aleph unit has LT2? I'm looking in Army and doing a Skill/Equipment search for it, only seeing regular Lieutenant.
Make Yu Jing great again! Vanilla: Zhanshis down to 10 pts, well in line with Fusi, Algua and Kazak. Make Guijia worth his points again. Add a bike (maybe with albedo) :-) ISS: Rework for Pheasant (more PH (or HyperDynamics L1), he does training for MA or not?), remove Hacker/non-CoC profile or add NCO on them. Bao needs a rework badly. High burst weapon, Specialst, flexible link-options, pts adjustment. Make a X-Agent a must pick for the Wu Ming link, thats more fluffy. IA: Rework Shang Ji - no one will take them, like they are now - or retire them completly, give access to eclipse if they should get no normal smoke rework Krit - he was a mistake, now make him great and valuable. Bring us White Banner! Suggestion: Operation Frostbyte: Yu Jing (White Banner starter) vs. Pan O (Svarlaheima Starter)
This. So much this. I wish all our S5 were Ghost: Remote Presence, whether Transformation or no Transformation
I'd love to see something like "Engineer Plus" become part of YJ's theme in N4. YJ's manufacturing/tech base was one of the interesting parts of their RPG info.
A have a wish list for two new profiles. One of them is a "Dragon" Avatar. This will represent a pure combat form of the emporer. No nonse dispatching order just justice in the form of death. It a step up from the Hsien. It could be a TAG or S2. Im not sure if there is an S5 Avatar in the game. If there isnt that would be cool. It as well would be a transformer. Each profile would represent an aspect of duality like the jade throne. I have yet to think of some load outs. I just think it would be thematically bad ass.
The emperor is a political puppet. There's nothing combatty about a politician who know their power is almost entirely ceremonial. This setting takes a slightly more realistic approach to who makes a good soldier and who would only qualify as HVT. Emperor falls squarely in the latter category.
Yeah, Infinity does a good job of making its commanding badasses badasses at commanding, instead of just turning them into indiscriminate beatsticks like other games often tend to do. And the Emperor is not really a badass in either regard. I wouldn't mind seeing more historical recreations though. On the subject of bikes, I've always liked the idea of a Lu Bu irregular HI biker.
He'd certainly have a strong desire to kick things whenever the Party blocks his policies though. I can definitely see the Emperor responsible for the Uprising response jumping into a custom Su-Jian and burning down opium dens with a flamethrower whenever he gets bored. My wish for a new Yu Jing unit would be a Veteran Invincible unit. Actual Veteran L1, SSL1, combi-flamethrower and high-BTS power armour. The guys you can trust to lead the charge into prepared close-in defenses and ambushes and actually come out the other side intact.
