I am a bit disappointed because my nice little tactic does no work out:
Following situation:
I started a Hojo campain, starting 1530. I thought this might be a bit more difficult than overruning Japan during the Sengokujidai with the Shimazu, although this was a nice way of starting the game. :juggle2:
At the very beginning, everyone started making friends with everyone, one big ally, against the rebels, I guess. Problem is, that now I was sandwiched by my friends (started in Sagami, took Izu from rebels, then: neutral Takeda in Kai (north), allied Uesugi in Musashi (east) and allied Imagawa in Suruga (West).
I attacked Takeda next and needed 2 waves, because the Daimyo fought my whole army half a day (timer) alone without dying. :furious3:
Since my other ally Shimazu and Imagawa broke into war I could cancel my frindship with Imagawa and attacked him for the sake of Shimazu :laugh4:. Kicked him out of mid Japan btw.
Afterwards Takeda reemerged in Shimosa, but only made some trouble with Uesugi and rebels and moved his army to the west. Made it easy for me to take Shimosa as well.
Uesugi remained a very reliable ally in those fights, never daring to backstab me, although he would have had the chance. That's why I refuse attacking him. :no:
Still I would like to have the Musashi province. Thereby I would have a nice and easily defendable borderline for "later" and move to the west, first. So I tought of sending some Shinobis in there, cause a rebellion and take the province from victorious rebels.
Here comes the actual problem:
the province is revolting for at least 3 years now. Constantly! But the rebels never win, they dont even seem to actually kill one of the Uesugi guys. I thought it must be because of the bridge, but the Uesugi army temporarily was ranged only. Can't be that difficult to rush the birdge and kick some bowies, huh?
Are rebellions always that weak? Unfortunately I can't see what units they have, but they are constantly outnumbering him, and as I said, Uesugi has mainly archers.
Thanks for your opinions. :shame:
BTW1: I don't want to discuss about my moral flexibility of not attacking my ally directly. :sweatdrop:
BTW2: Is it possible to get a customized avatar here?
