Description:

This is a visual mod that changes the models of the ninja units in the campaign and battle map.

Since Ninja were professional spies, a Ninja was supposed to be able to disguise himself among other people, scout the territory and survive behind enemy’s line. Thus I gave them the appearance of an ordinary commoner.

A Ninja was also a highly trained commando especially when working inside an army; there were in fact famous warriors throughout Japanese history which worked as special troops well versed in the used of guerrilla tactics and asymmetric warfare, like Hattori Hanzou (服部半蔵), which often included the use of explosive devices.

A Samurai who is also a Ninja in the sengoku era would have likely worn regular armors on the battlefield.
