[Lemur]

Mori Motonari then Takeda.

And not to be a horrible grammar nazi, but "makes" demands no apostrophe. It's not possessive or nuthin'.

Yeah I remember that thing. I think I got Kenshin.

PS. I guess Ran no Jidai is redundant now :(

[Kagemusha]

Well there is time for everything. There are though still people working on it, while i havent for some time and they have my complete respect. Hopefully they can cook up little something as a appetizer, before this one will be out.:yes:

[Monsieur Alphonse]

1. Toyotomi Hideyoshi
2. Hojo Soun

But I have no idea who they are. So I have to buy S2 to learn about them.

[Kagemusha]

I added information to the first post about each option for those who would like to know more who they are.:thumbsup:

[Tera]

[Nelson]

Takeda Shingen

[AnthoniusII]

My #6 is: Takeda Shingen
My #7 is: Asai Nagamasa
My #8 is: Date Masamune

I take it this is good, since Oda Nobunaga is #10 :tongue:

[General Malaise]

I got:
1.) Uesigi Kenshin
2.) Takeda Shingen
...although Takeda's % was only very slightly lower whereas all the others were far off. Kind of funny they were so close in my top two given they were such rivals.

On a completely unrelated note, I love the new shogun-skinned forum design. :-)


EDIT: I hope getting Uesigi doesn't mean I'm likely to be finding any ninjas hiding in my toilets, lol...

1. Asai Nagamasa
2. Mori Motonari (wait, who'se this :huh:)
3. Toyotomi Hideyoshi

I only know of Ieyasu, Hideyoshi and Nobunaga. (AoK helps...:laugh4:)

Now I have to find out who the rest are...

[aimlesswanderer]

Takeda Shingen was first by a long shot, though I randomly guessed Uesugi Kenshin.

[Galvanized Iron]

Apperently I am Oda Nobunaga by a large margin, but that doesn't tell me anything...

Toyotomi Hideyoshi as second but he was only 50% while Oda was 100%.

[Galvanized Iron]

Was Oda good or evil?

[aimlesswanderer]

Mixed I'd say, but in popular culture he is often portrayed as the 7th demon lord or some such.

[cpdwane]

Hojo Soun, whoever he is...

[Gregoshi]

Hojo Soun, whoever he is...
The first post has links to each of the warlords so you can read up on what they did.

[Martok]

Interesting. I actually tied between Asai Nagamasa and Takeda Shingen, with Uesugi Kenshin coming in a strong second. None of the other warlords registered more than a blip. :inquisitive:

[Togakure]

Was Oda good or evil?
Oda Nobunaga had a reputation for being etremely ruthless, fearless, and was quite the opportunist. There is a famous saying about the three "unifiers:" I paraphrase:

Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu observed a bird that wouldn't sing.

Oda Nobunaga said, "if it won't sing, I will kill it!"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi said, "if it won't sing, I will convince it."
Tokugawa Ieyasu, "if it won't sing, I will wait ...."

Ah good, sounds like a rational man not ruled by superstition and hollow ideals, I like. Will definately play Oda in S2TW now :)

Toyotomi Hideyoshi seems like a total fool...

[Togakure]

Hideyoshi also led the Oda clan, after Nobunaga was assassinated by a resentful vassal (Akechi Mitsuhide). Of common birth, Hideyoshi began his military career as Nobunaga's "sandal bearer," and rapidly rose to power in record time, thanks to his formidable intelligence, charisma, and industriousness, and incredible accomplishments.

If anyone wants to get an idea of what this era was like but finds history books a bit dry, there is an excellent historical novel writtem by Eiji Yoshikawa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eiji_Yoshikawa), the author of Musashi, which I--and I'm sure, others here--would highly recommend. It's entitled Taiko, and details the life of Hideyoshi from a young boy to his supreme command of Japan as Kampaku (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kampaku). Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu figure prominently in the book, as do many other Sengoku Jidai Daimyo, and it is based solidly in historical events despite being a ficton novel.
