Yari Samurai Spear Wall

Description
Gives Yari Samurai the Spear Wall ability, just like the Ashigaru.

Yes, I know: Historically the samurai did not fight in formation. However, I am their Daimyo and I will darn well order them to break tradition and form up if I want to.

Enjoy!

FIXED:
Corrected an issue causing Bow units to use the wrong sound effect. This is apparently a problem with the base game that comes up with most unit mods, but there is a workaround in my case so no harm done.

Such a simple change suddenly making these units hella viable instead of almost useless. And they still remain balanced since you have to consider hire\upkeep cost, unit size, investment into yari dojo instead of the others.

" No matter how skilled a warrior you are, you cant parry 15 spears at once." that sounds like a challenge

Everyone fought in formation, it's just that samurai were more akin to officers than common ashigaru, they led units around rather than being units themselves (with a few exceptions). But when they did fight as a unit (mostly as cavalry or armed with teppo) they most certainly did so in a formation.Fighting outside of formation is probably the quickest way to get yourself killed. No matter how skilled a warrior you are, you cant parry 15 spears at once.

supper cool, i never knew that until now! also it seems logical that troops would be smart enough to compact together to defend against cav, especially the more disciplined troops who would follow orders well, i might be wrong tho, still good mod tho!
