Units who've won you over?

I've seen it. They are pretty good at murdering everyone during castle defense.

I also like the Naginata monks. They actually don't have a poor defense. Their melee defense is one of the highest in the game, but their armor sucks. That means they are actually really good at frontal melee, but you have to avoid them getting flanked or reared and most of all you have to avoid archer fire. In forest fights the monks kick serious ass because archery is crappy. If I have a monk heavy stack, I try to make my assaults in rainy weather also, any conditions that are bad for archery are great for naginata monks.

Takeda Yari Cavalry. Flank or attack from the rear and say goodbye to the defending unit.

Takeda Katana Cavalry. Throw them in and watch how they slash to pieces the enemy.

Katana Samurai. Excellent melee units.

Those are my three favourite units that are always in my battle lineup.

Yari Ashigaru. A useful peasant infantry?!

Horse archers. They're not killing machines like in Medieval 2 and Rome, but they're really good for peeling off a portion of the AI's main force.

Ashigaru, both yari and bow, are actually worth something! I love it.

Also, I'm really enjoying sea battles, even if they seem pretty simple right now: if you have a higher melee score for your ship, board! If not, run!
