Hi guys,
I lately got shogun 2 and am having a quite some fun.
If you don't care for the prelude just skip this paragraph ;)
So I started a Shimazu campaign on M/M did quite well tho I prefer to advance slowly which I did. the Otomo proved to be reliable trade partners and became chistian the same time as me, unfortunately they got conquerd by the shoni who together with the ... eh I forgot their name something with O and they had a flower mon became my mortal enemies. When I liberated the otomo home province I made them a vassal mainly because I needed the extra Honor and they seemed a good vassal to have. fun thing was that after I conquered kyushu and invaded honshu those little buggers conquered the next region via ship and after I had made the mori my vassals aswell(you know to keep the enemy navy at bay) and declared war on the guys with the tree mon:
The Otomo(my vassals) went berserk and conquered every province of the north/western coast until kyoto where I got the "the shogun hates you and so does everyone else!" message and declarations of war from all clans but the otomo and mori(thank god). Then they conquered every province around Kyoto and I had to hurry to get one or two in the area. As of now the Otomo(yes the Otomo) are the strongest clan but still my vassals :D
I'm preparing my march on Kyoto now while they fight the oda and the Ikko ikki.
What intrigues me is that normally in most videogames allied AIs are to dumb to change a lightbulb let alone to win battles against hostile AIs Is it just me or has Shogun 2 cast of this dogma?
