Favorite Soldier and Favorite Line Up

[Goku]

This question goes for everybody. Who's your favorite soldier (Ninja, Shinobi, Emissary, etc. not included) what's your favorite team line up (Ninja, Shinobi, Emissary, etc. not included.) A team line up example would be: Heavy Cavalary-4, Naginata-4, Musketeer-4, Samurai Archer-4 if ya didn't get it.

If I'm attacking, 4 archers, 4 warrior monks, 2 no daichi, 2 yari cavalry, 2 heavy cavalry, and 2 naningata.

To defend, 8 archers, 4 muskets, 2 naningata and 2 warrior monks.

rich men's armies maybe, especially the attacking one

[ShadowKill]

if im attacking 8 monks some ND and 2 yari

[Doragon_Ajidrik]

2wm 2nd 3 mu 1 sa and 8 ys for defending and attacking in online multi play. Shadowkill 8 WM? isnt that a bit too much?

[BanzaiZAP]

4 Yari Samurai
2 Ashigaru
3 Warrior Monks
3 Yari Cavalry
1 Muskets
3 Samurai Archers

Fast and flexible.

I'm pretty new to the game, I haven't played online yet. For defending I just pick a hill and bunker down like crazy.
And when I'm attacking I still haven't learned how to use my muskets well. They don't get lines of sight very easily.

[solypsist]

So far (and I'm not going any further than this post on the subject) I really like the SwordMaster. So for me it's :

1 swordmaster (special)
2 yari spear (honor 2)
2 musket (honor 0)
1 archer (honor 0)
2 warrior monk (honor 1/0)
1 no-dachi (honor 3)
all for about 2k

Doragon_Ajidrik don't you know who i am

The Taisho is one of the Yari Samurai units, though has increased honour.

Sounds like a poker game . . ok I will see your 8 warrior monks and raise ya 5 cav archers!! LOL

[ElmarkOFear]

Either that or the Shogun version of "The 12 days of Christmas!"
"5 warrior monks,
4 naginata,
3 archer sams,
2 yari cav,
and a no-dachi in a pear tree!!" (or would that be a cherry blossom tree?) LOL

I have a h-EAR-t frush King high ! Beat that!

[ElmarkOFear]

Darn, I thought this was the chat room . . . sorry Shadow! LOL

[Tachikaze]

Attacking:
4 YS (one with taisho)
2 ND
2 WM
2 or 3 SA
1 Ms
1 CA
1 YC or HC

Defending:
5 YS
2 ND
2 WM
1 Ng (with taisho)
3 SA
2 Ms
1 CA or YC

Something like that.

[Goku]

I thought everybody liked Heavy C. but no ones picking them. I guess they suck eh?

------------------

[Rob]

I personally don't like them; they're expensive (twice the cost of No-Dachi) and suffer against Yari units. When used properly they can be devastating, but proper use is difficult.

Some people pick them for sentimental reasons, especially as the Taisho unit - they believe a general should sit on a horse. Personally, I smile when I see an enemy with a Heavy Cav Taisho.

yep I don't like them they are not the unit that i would pick in a line up but i do throw some in for battle fodder from time to time

[Tenchimuyo]

I rather prefer:
4 YS
2 WM
2 NG
4 SA
4 MU

[Naughty_Plumber]

My favorite unit is YC just because of their flanking ability and they can kill pesky cav archers.
1. 3 WM
2. 2 ND (only if attacking)
3. 2 YC
4. 1 CA
5. 3 HC (if enough koku)
6. 2 SA
7. 1 musket (only if feeling lucky that it wont rain)

Well i'm not about to tell all my best army but if you really want to know ask O4B and magy because they spy on people to see what their armys are nice one i remember you as once having some honour O4 it's very disappointing to say the least mate and as for the (Me vs San) topic on my Forum you have got to be joking me.

[Magyar Khan]

u can handle this O4B or do u need me in here?

[Shimazu2]

I don't exactly have a favorite...i mainly like the Yari Samurai. But a monk is a very good thing to use. Archers are my favorite range weapon. And if anyone has battled me in a low koku fight you will find archers and yari...oh yeah i love the graphics goku..

HHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!
Happy hunting
