i'm at round 90 with takeda on legendary difficulty, and i have just fought a battle against oda
i had an army consisting of half cavalary (takeda <3) and the rest other samurai (only 2 ashigaru units)
oda had much fewer troops, but they had a "Samurai O - Ronin Naginata| Han" (see the edit for newer information) with the nice little attribute "scares horses"... when my cavalry approached it, they immediatly started to run, although they were multiply troops and had a general right behind them
i don't have to underline how terrified i was, and that once they entered the main battle, everyone in my army was running away.... i have the feeling that the "scare" ability is MUCH OVERPOWERED.... just ...wtf^^ they were samurai horses from takeda goddammit!
EDIT: i've just done another batlle against that army and discovered that the samurai O weren't the problem, i managed to defeat them, the "Samurai - Ronin Tachi| Han" were the real suckers. they can scare every enemy and my infantry was on the run VERY quickly, and my cav too when i sent them in, so it seems to be a bug of the scare enemy attribute (I've never encountered another unit that could frighten enemys).
at the third battle i was defending my castle and defeated them, but even though they were routing those troops were still scaring my guys, so i couldn't pursue them... pretty dumb ^^
also i had the problem that i cannot build fortresses, and there was no hint ingame what to do, then i looked at all the arts and found an art that i had not researched that would to the trick... but it would have been nice to see a hint when i tried to build the fortress^^
