Ok, before epic offically came out, I worked on developing my own set. What I was going for with the mercs, was Japanese based. Between the changes in epic, and the fact I doubt AEG will allow samuri to come play in WL, I will post that faction here. My development team and I would still like the chance to do a set or 3(have the basic design for a three part series of sets atm) but cant do so for free, so I doubt it will happen.





























and a couple of samurai that were developed for other factions:





Ok, so thats them. Please tell me what your thoughs are. They never went through screening, so I know some are over or under powered, and spelling and gramatical errors may have occured.

Do you want corrections? Just general impressions?

both are welcome

Why are the Samurai mercs? Wouldn't they be Ronin?

I made them mercs cause there is no room for a new faction. since they serve no current faction as a whole, they were made mercs

I like the whole theme and the artwork is nice. There are a few templating ideas that I will point out when I have a little more time. Most of them seem pretty balanced with a couple exceptions.

The cards look cool and the art is great, except i think alot of them need toned down and some wording issues pop their little head out at me. Nice though

my favorite is the Ninja Ambush Team

i agree with the post way up there, theoretically, samurai would have to be loyal to one "king". otherwise, they're ronin. cool idea tho.

Also you probably mean Samurai Cavalry, unless you are referring to where Jesus was crucified.

Majokie Satsuke is broken. You need to add the clause "may not start in play" to her, or everyone will be shooting the hell out of people's ranks first turn.

Really good idea in principle though.

With the stealth rules in EE you don't need the "Doing whatever is a steath action" thing.

rember these were made pre-epic, so at the time they still did. Also have a monk there...

Okay, I have gone through and corrected typos and changed some of the wording to make it match current standards. If I left something off, it is because it did not need corrections.
