In Rise of the Samurai the monomi acts as an assassin, spy, saboteur and scout, and is recruited from province speciality buildings. In addition to their subterfuge skills, monomi also increase the movement and line of sight of our armies when placed inside them. They can also establish spy networks within our castle towns, which increase the chances of discovering any rival agents and armies that may be hiding within a province. Monomi are invisible to the enemy until detected. They are vulnerable to detection by junsatsushi and exceptionally dangerous to sou.
