Samurai also used bows (yumi) also in battle.
My suggestion:
Cost: 3
Trained at : Dojo,archer barracks
Affected by bushido aura
Hp: 19
Att: 7
Rng: 6
Spd: 3
Armor: 0/0
Sight: 6
Bonuses:
50% Light foot melee
50% Medium foot melee
50% Flying

I might only be a newbie but I feel as though that bow looks too generic, like the regular Archer. Maybe giving it a different bow might make it look better?

might be useful

Three things:
1. Stats are too powerful.
2. Why samurai with bow has better defence than melee one? It should be the other way around.
3. Yumi was really big bow - to achieve draw strength of war bow (at least 100 pounds) they had to have 2 meters of length. Comparing it to average height of historical japanese man - it could have been 25-35% higher than him. And griped in 1/3 of height, unlike european bows.
Or recurved. They developed recurve bow around 13-14th century.

Ok I'll make the bow bigger and stats fix.

S.

I forgot about sight - he should have the same as all regular foot atchers - 5).
But with the image and stats - I'm adding him to the todo list (so it's accepted).

Yey

he could have an arrow of fireworks, so far as I know the Japanese used this to mainly scare horses and disorient enemy troops.

Maybe, some kind of firework shot ability dealing 6dmg and gives demoralize for 2turns in an area of 2-3tiles

Fireworks were more of chinese thing.
I don't remeber or never got to know if japanese forgot various explosives, didn't use it at all before europans came or just didn't have much materials to make them.
Besides - special, good ability for 3 turn unit as a bonus (additionally to main battle capability) - I don't think so.

I think it might just be an ability to shoot an arrow of fire, from what I researched, they were used in 6th centunry in military campaign in korea.

Besides - special, good ability for 3 turn unit as a bonus (additionally to main battle capability) - I don't think so.

That is actually most important point . Adding any abilities to quite strong unit is unbalanced.

Is be he units can swap weapon.
