i do. but i left after a few turns dont remember why;u are very low on koku and i dont see any chance to deal with Hojo enough time to consolidate ur power;maybe i'm wrong i didnt play more than 4-5 turns lets say. but is challengin i think i ll try again http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

I haven't. But one reason I don't play Ronin is that: it could be very anti-climatic.

Vlad the Impaler: I think the easy way to solve your dilemma is try to kill Lord Hojo and his heirs (if any). Even if you lose the battles, you can still win the campaign. Because if a clan is heirless and without daimyo, it automatically turns ronin.

Killing Hojo is a no no in the Mongol Campaign. If he dies the Mongols win, end of story. If there are numerous Hojo provinces though, you can kill him in battle and another Hojo heir will pop up. Hojo heirs are limitless in the Mongol campaign as long as you don't trap him in the last of his provinces. I think I'll try to play Ronin in one of Barocca's Mongol mods. That ought to be fun.

Gothmog..the Hojo's wifes seems to be very fertile and in high number http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

I have tested yesterday.
It s nearly impossible.
You have 3 provincies :
Dewa and Mutsu (Uesugi provincies in Sengoku campaign) in the North, and Echizen in North coast.
In Echizen you have ONLY 1 unit of archers... Echizen WILL be defeated !
In Mutsu and Dewa, just 3 or 4 units (ashigaru Crossb. Samurai Archers, and ashigaru...)
The first 3 or 4 rounds were ok. I lost only Echizen but this is normal...
But after 4 or 5 battles WITHOUT new units or may be with 1 archer or 1 YS, ... no hope.
NOTE : my income was 163 koku.

I have read everywhere in this forum things like that : "boring....mmmmm..... no chalenge,.... too easy ..."

OK : try playing Ronins in the Mongol Campaign.

Opps, I stand corrected, won't assume anything anymore...

Sounds so interesting!

Limitless heirs!!

Has anyone figured out how to make it happen to other "regular" campaigns?
