Here's the thing, and i'm not trying to flame, but i simply do not understand why people are whining about MHC. For the same amount of koku (600, H2) you can get 2 units of H3 yari samurai, which is an effective and reliable counter almost every time. And all this is assuming that it's a fine day... in any adverse weather conditions, those MHC are at an even greater disadvantage.
Yes, one on one, MHC beats JHC. But a true general would exploit the enemy's weakness, which is to say that 2 units against 1 has more advantage besides the numbers. You get that other unit to flank and it's lights out. Even head on, the samurai still beat MHC hands down. It seems very simple to me; counter the MHC with spears, just as you would counter archers with cavalry.
Frankly, i have to state my opinion:
With games such as these, there's always whining when new units are introduced, simply because people aren't completely familiar with their strengths and weaknesses.
Any fresh thoughts on this?
