Below is a list of ancillaries in Total War: Shogun 2.
Ancillaries are followers or items given to generals and agents when they reach even-numbered levels (2, 4, 6). Upon reaching these levels, the player is given a choice between two retainers. Once the choice is made, it cannot be reversed.
Ancillaries are separate from traits, which are granted upon meeting certain campaign map or battle requirements.
General Ancillaries[]
Certain general ancillaries can only be gained winning land or sea battles; see notes.
