They would b the perfect counter against spamming knights and Mongolian horses near the dojo. However I think most infantry should have bonus against them, even swordsman ( may b 50% bonus ) so that it will b useful to atk with infantry early on too

I forgot to add builder:
Dojo, castle ( since the shogunate were Japanese castles )

Image needs improvement

I was thinking the same thing, may b shield should b bigger, is patroid still active? The helmet can b changed after ur redesign on samurai is implemented

If it ever gets

Yes so for now it can keep the current samurai helmet

By the way, how much resistant is a full plate armour to arrows?

About 3 pierce armor

May b as resistant as the one uruks wore in lotr 2, only soft spot is the joint between shoulder plates and chest armour

Hmm 3 p.armour isn't that bad, its not like he will ever reach the archer with 3 speed anyway, but as the personal bodyguard of the shogun, I wanted him to b strong against any ranged weapon ( arrow, shuriken , kunai and any other weapon a ninja assassin would try to use to kill the shogun ) so that he could protect him during danger, but that might b thinking way too far

Yeah, also his armor is made out of iron, not uruk steel, which is wayyyy tougher

So should he just be a typical pikeman ( with slightly higher p.armour ) then?

There is already the yari with high normal armour ( which is kind of weird since he is just a farmer ) so not sure if it would make them anymore useful

I suggest raising his power and hp a bit

They r supposed to b weak against infantry ( too heavily armoured, carries big heavy pole-axe does being very slow to attack in melee combat ). But would get blacksmith tech bonus. New stats:
Cost: 3
HP: 23
Armour: 1/4
Atk: 8

Builder: dojo, castle

400% elephants ( 40 damage )

Instead of an axe, could you make this with a naginata for a more Japanese approach.

Lol I didn't draw this patroid did, u r all free to do whatever u want to improve the picture, I don't even have any app for pixel arts

Now samurais have different appearance so we need complete remake

GREAT!!!!!!
