Very entertaining episode. It had almost everything.

[@AbdulHannanAbdulMatheen]

👏🙂
Fire rockets were brutal

[@ktosmiy9701]

The third battle made me question usefulness of bow units in this game. Like seriously, if archers are better used as flanking unit, what's even the point of recruiting them? I feel like only Warrior Monks/Daikyu Samurai are even worth recruiting

[@dishonorable_daimyo1498]

The best answer i can give is flexibility, bow samurai are a good defensive unit and useful if you need to defend a recently captured province.
Also the inverse of your idea: why get katana samurai when i can get another samurai unit that can skirmish if needed? Especially since flanking attacks are morale based regardless of which units are being employed..

[@ktosmiy9701]

​@@dishonorable_daimyo1498You know, that's actually a good point. I forgot that Bow Samurai have better melee stats than even Bow Warrior Monks and with enough experience and upgrades like in this battle they are not utterly helpless.
I suppose when you get archery dojo built by AI, it wouldn't hurt to recruit a few of these guys.
