Government tribal.png A tribe is regarded as a society that hasn't developed a concrete definition of what a Westphalian nation-state is. Nomadic by nature, the power is held by either a chief or by a group of fellow tribesmen. They are usually Monarchies (using legitimacy, royal marriages, Aristocratic idea group.png Aristocratic idea group, etc.), except for steppe nomads (who use horde unity; see below).

Horde unity[edit | edit source]

See also: Steppe hordes

Steppe nomads, normally referred to as hordes or khanates, is a loosely organized form of government where power is held mostly by the tribes, but united under the khan. They are barred from taking most country-formation decisions. It differs from mainstream monarchies in the way that each time a khan dies, all clan leaders are summoned to vote on the next khan: the khan has an heir, but if the khan dies and the heir is young enough to require a regency council, the heir is killed and replaced with another ruler.

Steppe nomads use Horde unity horde unity instead of legitimacy. The effects of horde unity are proportional to its value. Listed below are the main milestones.

The ubiquity of conflicts and wars in Japan during the Sengoku Jidai gave rise to a new class of warriors, the ashigaru.

Armed with spears, bows and swords, their constant presence in battle made them into a class between the farmers and the samurai, being in some cases even considered as part of the lower strata of samurai. Hover, it was with the introduction of the tanegashima teppou, the Japanese adaption of the matchlock, that their presence truly shined. Its easier learning curve compared to the bow, combined with the superior numbers of the ashigaru compared to the samurai, made it so that ashigaru armed with matchlocks became the main part of any Japanese army.
