    Yes, you could but it was not advisable against Monks! However, if you look at the stats, archers could take on yaris on even terms with only the slightest of edge. Samauri archers were brilliant in STW.

    The hills of Shinano bring back memories - there was really nice sort of raised pudding bowl area in Shinano. You could line the steep edges with archers backed by infantry and keep you cavalry hidden in the depression behind them. Is it just me or does the terrain look better in Shogun? Anyway, fond memories...
