Yojimbo

Yojimbos or bodyguards, can be upgraded from Hired Guard. They can be found throughout the land, guarding the caravans and inside the inn.

Overview
Yojimbos are dedicated swordsmen who have abandon their gun as a Hired Guard. They wore samurai clothings and are armed with better swords as compared to the Hired Guards. Yet, these upgrades are nothing as compared to other units.

Tactics
The Yojimbos are weak against most units despite the sword upgrade. Placing them next to your archers, gunners and weaker troops will keep them alive for a-little longer.

Training them to the next rank will take a little longer compared to the Hired Guard, but it should not be a problem if you have high training skills or you train them on the training field. A fully trained Yojimbo can be upgraded to a Hired Warrior or an Agent.
