Units in Japanese

The Japanese units are a nice combination of elegance, finesse, and brute strength. Their infantry are second to none, but they are somewhat expensive. Also, they lack in the reconnaissance department.

Melee Units

Ashigaru	The Ashigaru is Japan's standard melee soldier. Due to his glaive, he is able to outrange other equivalent units, this gives him the ability to stab and slice from a distance.
Swordsman	The Swordsman is the kind of man who's seen many wars and no longer minds getting his hands dirty when he needs to. He fights valiantly for his nation, often eviscerating his opponents with his trusty katana. Not many men can fight a veteran swordman and live to tell the tale.
Samurai	Hand trained by the Shogun himself, the Samurai are his most trusted soldiers. They are the elite of the elite, the cream of the crop, and so on and so forth. When you absolutely need everything to die, you call on the Samurai.

Ranged Units

Archer	The archer is Japan's standard range infantry. His longbow provides great power to his shots, creating a rather cost effective unit.
Arquebuser	he Japanese were rather smart, smart enough to know that gunpowder is far more powerful than puny arrows. But, to prevent such great power from entering into the hands of the enemy, gunpowder is only granted to leaders who have survived long enough to establish a nice foothold in enemy territory. This is the Arquebuser, a fearless man who wields a very powerful firearm. His bullets are better against infantry than buildings.
Shinobi	The Shinobi is the epitome of stealth and sabotage, able to sneak into the enemy's base and wreak absolute havoc. These mercenaries are able to kill silently with a dagger, or they can throw a knife at the cost of cover. Another weapon in their arsenal is a bomb that is good against buildings, but these bombs take a while to manufacture, so it will take time before they can use another. Lastly, Shinobi are highly knowledgable on the topic of stealth, so they are permantenly cloaked and can detect other stealth units.
