I've personally been playing ninja vs samurai for almost 2 years now. Most ninjas at first do not understand how to play as a ninja and just try to go blow for blow with samurai's, losing most of their 10 lives immediately. Yet, eventually they catch on and when ninja's are played as they're intended, they win 9/10 times.
I also noticed 4 ninjas can win against 5 samurais much easier than 4 samurais against 5 ninjas.
So I improved samurai's as far as hunting ninjas and retrieving stolen talisman. As far as combat, that all depends on what spells you upgrade, how you use them, what items you have and how well your opponent is prepared.
Through testing phases, one test we conducted was to have samurai and ninja come face to face, both at level 1 with no spells or aura's chosen yet. We took fog of war off for the testing so both players have enough time to right-click one another. Samurai's won 6/10 times. When we chose auras (endurance aura and evasion for ninjas) ninja's won 6/10 times. Just something to consider.
Plus I was sick of people being forced to be samurais. Now more ppl want to be samurai.
i havn't tried the map but ninjas should be better if in this game the samurais are best because a ninja is a real killing machine and is more lethal than samurais samurais are great swords men but ninjas still rule
Here ya go. The most balanced version of Ninja Vs Samurai. Samurais were uncomparible to ninjas, so I've balanced them out to meet the competition. Threw in a 6th talisman for longer games. Much better items to buy (especially samurai), added ninja guards for samurai to kill and earn exp. Same models used from my last version. If ninja's hide the tali behind their base, samurais can destroy the tents in their base. (Or use the new blink item avail. for samurai to buy) This series of ninja vs samurai I've been working on has been tested and tweaked to perfection. This specific version has been tested in circulation for a good month. Thanks to Shin.Hayate and Chocobo for the original concept!
