Fots Sword & Bow Levy units
For those who wished they had more traditional levy variations for the early game and or didn’t want to go bankrupt from recruiting expensive samurai units to defend their forts against waves of samurai spam armies.
Introducing Sword Levy and Bow levy!
It takes 1 turn to recruit any and you can recruit them from any tier of Traditional Dojo and from Tier 2+ forts.
Sword cost: 590 upkeep 80
Bow cost: 550 upkeep 90
(note that those are their cost and upkeep without the traditional unit cost reduction that you get early game)
Note: i am not the best at balance and it will probably be way stronger then i intended it to be mid game before transitioning to modern armies or when spammed.
The logic behind the unit and their purpose:
Sword Levy:
Designed to be a slightly worse then loan swords from Shogun 2, But more lethal and tad bit more braver version of spear levy, they are used to quickly inflict big melee casualties to the enemy at the cost of loosing a lot of their own men in the process, if damaged early by arrows or bullets, they will most likely loose to even the spear levy, but not before taking a huge chunk of the enemy front-line with them.
Bow Levy:
Designed to be slightly better but more expensive then Levy infantry, bow levy is a breath of fresh air to siege battles in FOTS. Filling the same role as bow samurai, they have worse stats and very fragile morale but are: accessible early, cheaper, and have more men. They are good against modern units but in melee or getting hit by one or two direct volleys will break them almost instantly. Bow levy also don’t have fire arrows.
If you notice/encounter a bug or something seems off then let me know. Would love to also hear your feedback and ideas, i might make a separate version with only bow levy of people really want it.
