Retainers
- Infantry officer: retainer’s effect is +2 instead of +1
- Yari master: Reduce spear defence from 3 to 2
- Unabalanced spears: reduced effect from -3 to -2 (the counter to yari master)
- Stricken unholy forge: tweaked to affect all monk units
- World weary: morale penalty removed
- European gun smith: Tweaked to affect reload
- Way of the Ikko-Ikki: +10% now affects monks and ashigaru, with +2 melee defence rather than +3
- Rennyo’s teachings: Morale boost now +1 rather than +2 and +3 melee defence rather than +4

Unit categories
- Spear and naginata units are now distinct so that spear retainers do not benefit naginata units. This affects a number of overpowered army/retainer combinations to reduce their effectiveness.

Units
- Samurai Archers reduced in cost by 50 koku
- Great Guard cap raised to 2
- Matchlocks reduced in cost as they are now less effective with previous friendly fire fixes
- Naginata Warrior Monk Cavalry capped to 3 max to reduce potency
