Japanese: Samurai

Information

After a successful battle each Samurai is capable of recruiting 20 population, of the killed enemy army, on their side. This is limited to 20% of the enemy population or 600 (800) population.

For Example:

You attacked an enemy and they lost only 1000 population in the battle. In this case you may recruit up to 200 population, as this is 20% of the population lost by the enemy.If the enemy has lost 10 000 population and you have enough Samurai, you can recruit up to 600 (800 with 3-rd upgrade). In this case you can recruit the maximum amount of population (of 600 or 800 with 3-rd upgrade) because it doesn't reach the limit for 20%, which in this case is 2000.

The units recruited are chosen on a random basis, depending on the units the enemy lost.Army can be recruited after each successful battle, regardless of whether you are the defender of attacker.The amount recruited is calculated after a successful battle, depending on the amount of Samurai that survived.The maximum population recruited is increased to 800 when the third upgrade of the unit is developed.
