Northern Veteran Ji Infantry
"There are powers in the mountains – you are all that holds them back."Whatever exceptional training the ji infantry have – and it is exceptional – is honed to a sharpened point in these veterans. As part of the Han's northern army, they were trained to resist the savage, unorthodox warriors beyond the northern borders.
As the soldiers who have survived such onslaughts, their skills are beyond doubt, to say nothing of the additional armour they have earned along the way.

Simple nut husks, once trodden upon, cause extreme pain and slow movement. -
Hollowed Square

Spear Wall
The unit presents a wall of spear-points to the enemy - a strong formation that allows the unit to advance slowly but safely whilst defending against charges. -
Miasma
The dense and tough undergrowth that plagues the jungles of the South is a hindrance to all those who try to penetrate into the heartlands of the Nanman.
