Your favourite unit from STW and what new units would you like to see in S2TW?

[Swoosh So]

Yari cav and their gameplay mechanics all the way for me!

[hoom]

Nagnata Cavalry.
They gloriously sweep across the field leaving piles of bodies here and there.

I voted for Heavy Cavalry. Very expensive, but very powerful - I remember always using an HC as my general in MP battles. It beat everything except Yari Samurai, and even when outnumbered the unit held solid for a relatively long time.

The No-Dachi swordsmen were certainly a unit with low defense. But I had a few battles where they came out pretty good. (And having inflicted a lot of losses.) But their were times where they wouldn't fare to well for sure. I used them a lot to fight in forests or lay in ambush. For that role they were superb.

Missiles were certainly a hazard for no-dachi swordsmen. I recall one time I defeated a unit of them with one of my gun units. I commanded the high ground, they got pretty close but my last volley took care of the no-dachi swordsmen. (Anybody remember the massive hill that the Uesugi had? That would be a no-dachi guy's worst nightmare.)

That being said, they were a highly favored unit of mine and I always kept some in my armies.

Isn't it obvious?

Warrior Monks of course!

Yumi Cav (Cavalry Archers) in SP; what should have been Yari Cavalry but ended up being Naginata Cavalry in 1.02 MP (fast medium cav with good morale). Once a player learns how to manage these well in real time they are so fun. Nothing like sowing confusion with fast units and then ramming from flank/behind when the enemy is all mixed up.

Since I can only choose one for the poll, I'll go with CA.

[Kas]

I like a nice balanced army...infantry core with cav on the flanks.

....and get bashed by all with more imagination

In the words of Ali: "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." The Cavalry Archer. That PITA that keeps coming back, and coming back, and coming back.....
