After having a group of 23+ Samurai wiped out to the Last man by 11 Pangea Revelers (cheap berserking satyrs) I also have decided that they were underpowered. At the moment I'm experimenting with raising their attack up to 13 and seeing how that works. So far the beef seems to be doing about what I want: heavy casualties on both sides when serious battles start. Bowman precision was also increased to 12, as a 15 resource archer with 10 precison would be pretty bad.

Ouch on your samurais. At least they died honorably. heh

I'm finding that the genin are by far more cost-effective than samurai in terms of what they accomplish in combat (due to poison, fast move, etc.) and their higher survival rate. Nevermind their ability to sneak around, or reduce a castle quickly. Simply awesome. Thus I've switched to churning genin out rather than samurai. Also, since it's easier to increase gold than resources, you can build more genin than samurai, which is a bonus feature.

I've built no archers, so I can't comment on them.
