There's a much better unit than the black samurais. And that's the Great Heroes. I think it's in one of forest towns on a island. Does more damage and has more health than the black samurais.
And get rid of the lives thing and just make an extra long life bar. The hyper move and losing a life is just far too slow. I'm not going to still there waiting.

Oh and TIcey, to sell items you have to get this town scroll thing (forgot what the name was) and use it. You'll be transported to the shop. But you can't have the score modifier attrition activated.
It was ok at first but now... Get rid of the lives thing and stop making us keep on starting over when we almost have the angle right!!!! And make the obstacles turnable. How are we supposed to make into the right position when we can't even control it? Before these things change it's rated a firm 1/5.
