"While the Japanese are fairly standard when it comes to resource gathering, unlike Immortal Pillars' Chinese, they introduce a unique Bushido mechanic. There's a tremendous emphasis on unit management, as military units like the samurai gain increased stats for every enemy defeated. All of your units also passively generate XP for your five-level Bushido gauge, while more specialized units like shinobi generate more experience in combat."
"It's a fascinatingly complex system that runs in the background; you can ignore it if you want, but there's a tremendous amount of depth if you really want to fine-tune your army. The Japanese units offer a lot of complexity as well, with several subtle touches that I absolutely love. Shrine maidens can be used as healers, but also gather favor for myth units and god powers."
Heavenly Spear introduces a Japanese pantheon and a 12-mission campaign as the second expansion for Retold, following Immortal Pillars. The Japanese rely on standard resource gathering but center on a five-level Bushido mechanic that passively accumulates XP from units and grants perks such as free soldier upgrades, reduced technology costs, and enhanced god blessings. Samurai and other military units gain increased stats per enemy defeated, while specialized units like shinobi generate extra combat experience. Shrine maidens both heal and gather favor for myth units and god powers. Onmyoji serve as healers and powerful building busters. The expansion emphasizes unit management and asymmetric faction depth.
