unless you want to completely abandon the existing shrine mechanics.

I’d be all for that. Shrines should be fewer in number, but also more powerful and distinct from houses.

@UpmostRook9474

The status of the daimyo would not allow him to build shrines too.

I agree, that’s why I suggested that be the role of a Kannushi healer unit instead.

@M00Z1LLA

Daimyos could be repurposed into the hero unit, and the role of healer and Shrine builder could be taken up by a Kannushi

Due to being deliberately weakened by the emperor, the nobles basically had no military power, and even if they had, it was often only in name. Even a simple Chinese General is a better term

Whether it’s an Iron Cap Prince or simply a General, either would be fine with me. The Prince title would just be more in line with the Ras or Daimyo and not so much conflicting with the American Generals.

Armed Caravan Leader which is full of Chinese flavours, at least they can maintain the mechanics of training guards/members like the current Disciples, rather than unnecessarily copy the rebirth mechanics of African heroes.

“Armed Caravan Leader” is just not a good name or a particularly good theme. Any of the options based on generals or nobility would also be fine training some kind of guard unit to bolster their strength. And I only suggested giving the Asians the respawn mechanic because it could be a good way to balance Daimyos as heroes. The other Asians wouldn’t necessarily need that but it would be more consistent. And Asians using the ransom mechanic is not “unnecessary copying”, especially when they already copy the respawn method of the European heroes.

Emir didn’t seem to be a commonly used title in Mughal India, at least the term is better known in other Muslim countries. In contrast, as a hero on an elephant’s back, Raja or Zamindar was well suited to the Indians as an autonomous ruler and military leader.

Emir just gives it a bit more continuity with other potential Muslim civs. Raja or Zamindar would also be fine as names for the hero. Raja might actually be better as it could also be used for other South Asian civs like Marathas, Mysoreans, Burmese, or Siamese.
