With the upcomming Co-op campaign, I decided to play some campaigns. Now my usual style is slow and methodical with lots of shinobi running causing uprisings. After reading Maltz's Falcon men when he invades Imagawa from the get go, I decided to polish up my tactical skills and give it a try.

I'm slaughtered everytime. I can bring in HC, 2 SA, 3 YS, & a YA vs. 1 h2 SA & 3 YS. I've tried running my HC over and around the enemy, but eventualy he panics and runs. I've tried different types of assults. Everthing I can think of on a bridge, each time death comes with big pointie teeth. ARGGG

So is this how you play your Shimazu campaigns, or do you wait some time to gather your forces?

Hi VoodooChild:

That's the infamous rout bug!!! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/mad.gif

Each time a unit is asked to march away from the enemy, the soldiers suffer a morale penalty. This means your daimyo will get panic in one minute if you give him 5 orders per second.

What you can try is to predict where the enemy is coming to you, and assign only ONCE the destination which makes the HC will just pass by the enemy YS, whatever. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

Then after like 20 seconds you will need to issue the second order because the enemy is charging towards you. Again, try to predict their marching route so you can just pass through them again. But just issue one order. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

Oh yeah! The Coop SP Campaign Meeting has started! Don't be too late http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif

Please guys post in our Clan/Tournament Forum (http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=Clan+/+Clan+Recruitment+/+Tournaments&number=4) only news on the co-campaign.

Also I have to suggest to Maltz to open up a specific campaign forum on another messageboard system (ex. ezboard)

Thread moved to the clans forum.

My question "So is this how you play your Shimazu campaigns, or do you wait some time to gather your forces?
" was for General Discussion and applies to everyone, not just the co-op campaign.

"Sigh"
Use your Archers before crossing the bridge with you main troops.......send one unit(a Sacrifice for the Victory) over ,set hold formation when he gets over and then when they attack him Shoot them to peices with the archers...then when he(AI) retreats back go over with all units including Daimyo......

Tera, I believe there is a little misunderstadning here. Voodoochild is just playing a campaign on his own, and it is not related to our war stories. Just the subject looks confusing http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif

Also, I also have the feeling that the Coop SP campaign discussion is totally flooding the current clan forum now. Very sorry for this inconvenience for everyone in the community. However, I have little knowledge in setting up a new discussion forum. Would it be possible that Tera could kindly do this for us?

Personally I LOVE the .org forums (both visuals and atmosphere) so I am really reluctant to leave, though. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif The .com forum looks horrible! horrible! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/mad.gif

Oh! Our great EuroSan has just informed me that he is working on it! I cannot describe how cool the site looks. More news to be announced once our new foum is completed!
