cost:5
HP:32

It sounds bit weird unit with 2m sword should have melee range 2 while pikemen and halberdiers with their 6m pikes and 2m halberds have range just 1. With the current game, melee combat with higher range than 1 is generally problematic (e.g. swinging swords across a river or through a wall?).

There may be place for some infantry unit that is good both against swordmen and pikemen. But the stats you suggested would make it good against all of swordmen, pikemen and cavalry and with pierce armor 4 also archers. Which would be too strong for a 5turn unit, I guess.

Agreed. I don't think that melee units should have a range greater than 1. However, I do like the concept of an anti-mounted unit that can hold its own against other infantry.
Thanks!

Then, in short, a Templar, minus healing ability, plus more bonuses, equals Landshkneight?

No.

A ornithopter without flying or healing or converting abilities, plus some more bonuses and less some move speed equals Landshkneight ;)
Thanks!

"Doppelsöldner"
Historically similar to Zweihander and Landskneicht.

I think there should be a limitation of how many such buffs can he take. Say, +1 attack comes with -3 max hp. Or it can just take 3 buffs. Or it loses one buff every 2 turns. Somehing like that.

Merged Landshknecht and Doppelsöldner to here since they are historically the same unit. Would be open to German and Swiss variations if there were two separate game units wanted.

Zweihander stats idea:
cost:4
HP:32
atk:15 area attack
range:1
movement:3
armor:3
p. armor:0
Bonus: buildings, anti cavalry
Can be paid by money courier to increase +1 power.
This unit can be paid by money courier as much as you want to increase their power, so you can end up having a zweihander with 25 power.

Twice no:
1. No powerupping via money couriers. I completely against it. In my game with puss i used at least 50 money couriers. This way he could get 70 or 200 attack... killing heavy war elephant in one blow. Just no.
2. For 15 damage, 32 hp AND power range 1 it must cost 5 turns.

I suugest next, more adequate stats:
Trainable at barracks only
Cost 3
Hp 21
Attack 11
Power range 1
Speed 3
Sight 5
Armor 0
P.Armor 0
Same bonuses as samurais or hatamoto.
Can get blacksmith infantry upgrades
This way they'll become an alternative to broad swordmen (tier 1 upgrade of basic swordman)

The second stats sounds ok. They will also get area attack.

Power range 1 means that enemies in range 1 will get 50% of primary damage.

Also added training scource.

Nice. I think the image should be edited a bit to fit in with the game a bit more, but otherwise I will accept it
