It was 1558. Thanks to my geishas, all the other clans had been reduced to ronin, with I the only Daimyo left. I only had three or four provinces left to conquer.
Then suddenly, in the course of TWO turns, all but 3 of my home provinces revolted -- and those only because I had freshly-produced troops stationed in the castles.
I'm trying to figur out why this happened.
No, I didn't accept any alliance with the Dutch or Portuguese or accept Christianity. And taxes throughout the realm had been on "very low" since the beginning of the game. I can't remember if there was a recent bad harvest.
I can't figure it out! No, I didn't have troops garrisoned in the revolting provinces.
Difficulty was "hard."
It couldn't have been the work of enemy shinobis, since not only were there no other clans left, but I had the .matteosartori. cheat on and could see that the provinces were otherwise empty.
I have three theories as to why this happened:
1. The AI sensed that you had killed the other clans (the kingdom-wide revolt was, I think, on the turn right after the last Daimyo -- Hojo -- was assasinated) and decided you needed something to retain interest in the game.
2. The previous turn I had conquered a province with a Dutch or Portuguese trading post, and taking over this province means that I now have that alliance; i.e. that I am now Christian. But when I saved the game after the revolt, it still said I was "atheist." And I had been building several buddhist temples!
3. I had been practicing "slash and burn" across Japan (i.e. destroying all buildings in the provinces taken from me, so that I can get some cash in addition to making things harder for anybody who re-took the province from me. Naturally this Gen. Sherman approach would have pissed off a REAL human population, but I doubt it pisses off the AI population of Shogun.
I'm playing Warlord Ed. v1.02.
Somebody please explain!
