Yojimbo fact.

Not only, in my unbiased opinion, are yojimbo the best units in the game they're also the only unit in the game based on a film character.

Yojimbo should upgrade automatically to make them viable in post-imperial.

Landsknechts should upgrade automatically to make them viable in post-colonial. Perhaps they should get a horse or something.

Landsknechts should generate coin with every strike comparable to Keshiks in AoE2. Landsknecht regiments were historically known as plunderers and marodeurs because they were often paid rather bad.

The model and the picture are actually based off the main character of the film though

Maybe they couldn't get anything other than the film character when they were doing research (i.e. googling) for Yojimbo visual design.

Cultural question: the main character is both a Ronin and a Yojimbo, right? Like Ronin is an unaffiliated samurai and Yojimbo is the word for body guard, but very frequently though a Yojimbo is also a Ronin.

Maybe there should be a Spain IV card to convert pikemens into swiss piki (i.e. cultural exchange)... This would be a better card than the current piki->rod one imo.

The pikes into rods card is ridiculous... even if you send 24 pikes in industrial (lol) and then ship this card, you still only get 2x12 melee soldiers for 2 industrial cards.

In fortress it's even less worth it
