The Kazoku was a social status formed under the Peerage Act of 1884. It was awarded to those regarded as having performed exceptional service for the nation. The Kazoku was broken down into five ranks and the initial distribution of these ranks was dependent on rice revenue.

Attacking Strategies

• If used in large groups; Kazoku can be devastating and can destroy a base easily; if not in heavy fire.

• Mortars are devastating against Kazoku and can kill a group of them in a few hits if in the range of the impact. Spread your Kazoku around so the mortar would have to hit each Kazoku to kill it and that its impact would not affect other Kazoku as well or deploy a few heavy cavalry to destroy it.
• Use ranged infantry such as riflemen to support Kazoku.
• Kazoku can be used as a distraction for many defenses and can help protect ranged infantry such as riflemen from heavy fire from defenses.'

Trivia
