Kensai????!

[Sengoku]

I heard that these will be a single unit but will be able to take on whole units themselves. I am interested to find out any more about the usage of this unit, if it does all it is rumoured to do, I will be using many of them but I don't really see how one unit will survive long enough to be worth using. If, presumably, the one-on-one battle calculations will still apply it means there is still a very slim chance of the Kensai being killed by an ashigaru or by an arrow. How will they be trained, also? I assume that the Kensai is already at a very high honour level and so it can neither gain nor lose honour. Btw, does anyone have any idea how much the Kensai, or any other new unit for that matter, is likely to cost. Surely the Kensai becomes skilled by practice and by killing many men which does not cost a huge amount of money to do.

Kensai... Just imagine Edward Scissorhands going on a mad rampage. Would you get in his path? Nope. You'd shove others into his path to attempt to flee.

Kensai were Swords Saints, warriors or ronins wit or without a goal!.. but they mastered lot of technics to beat several enemies with only a couple of hits of their swords.

The most Famous Kensai was Miyamoto Musashi, and his book "The Book of the 5 rings" is like a mixed form from The art of War and the Bushido (way of the warrior)

To other things:

The kensai at teh game (like EA told us), wil be a very expensive unit, but a deadly one!... the only weak point of this unit is that they are weak against Firepower! (Archers and Musks), and i think i heared that they have problems against CAV .. so maybe will be good if u send an escort unit to protect them against CAV and bullets.
