Bandits

Bandits are found in all places, their life outdoors forces them to learn how to fight.

Bandits are thought to prey on the weak, but remember the only men to carry anything of much value in Japan are Samurai! Bandits can only be trained by the Hattori clan, and are quite cheap once you have access to them. These archers can hide anywhere they wish, and like Kisho Ninja they can walk whilst staying hidden. They are not very good archers or fighters, but life in the wilderness harassing passing travelers has tought them that staying hidden even while shooting can give them all the time they need to kill. These archers can shoot while staying hidden, and no enemy can counter a unit it cannot see!
