Daimyo

A Daimyo is the head of a certain Japanese clan. In Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties, daimyos are powerful units and increase the morale of nearby troops. Daimyos can either be shipped from the Home City, or trained from the Shogunate. Different daimyos have different levels of power. These include Daimyo Mototada, Daimyo Kiyomasa, and Daimyo Regicide. Daimyos such as Daimyo Ishida are only encountered in the campaign.

The ultimate daimyo (although he is actually Shogun) is Tokugawa Ieyasu, who can be shipped from the Home City. Shogun Tokugawa is an extremely powerful cavalry unit and can train different types of units. He also boosts his units' morale.
