Takeda attacking my city with huge army
Hi There !
I became Shogun in Shogun 2 (lol ?) and I got Realm Divide event... now, Takeda sent me one big army already and I closely defeated it, but now it sends this shit:

My army is this:

Any tips on defeating them ? Is it even possible to defeat them ?
Re: Takeda attacking my city with huge army
Clearly, they're not unbeatable. Bring as many troops from Kyoto close to you without compromising the public security of Kyoto and make sure you bring in more reinforcements if possible.
Draw the Takeda into a forest or some sort of easily defensible area and simply defend your lines.
Re: Takeda attacking my city with huge army
To add to edyz advise, bring a good bit of yari samurai too. They will handle the cavalry.
Re: Takeda attacking my city with huge army
Indeed. As Gregoshi said, yari samurai are quite useful is more or less every encounter. Add some naginata with them or some swordsmen and you're good to go. Just keep your archers safe, make sure they do damage and you should be able to work it out.
Re: Takeda attacking my city with huge army
Just to emphasize edyz's point, your salvation does not lie with the army in the castle. I think it will get chewed up pretty bad by Takeda Shingen (of all people!). A properly composed relief army and the right terrain is your best hope.
Re: Takeda attacking my city with huge army
Thank you for all of your replies ! The only army I have in Kyoto is my next daimjo and his 6 or 7 archers, and I don't have any yari samurai
Re: Takeda attacking my city with huge army
Archers are really useful, so use them. :yes:

So, PikeSpam, what was the outcome of your situation?

Horrible, entire army of mine was crushed, and my clan Chosokabe didn't have any more income so I bancroted :( Starting a new campaign as Shimazu and it is X times better (:
Re: Takeda attacking my city with huge army
That is a bummer, but I'm sure you learned some lessons with that defeat. Good luck with Shimazu. They start from a very good position compared to many of the other clans.
Re: Takeda attacking my city with huge army
Archers are excellent, indeed. :)
Re: Takeda attacking my city with huge army
Speaking of campaigns... the Uesugi have an excellent position, easy to trade with, access to resources, relatively protected by the mountains and rivers. Give them a go.

One thing to remember: much of the game is preparing for the inevitable Realm Divide.
Good luck with Shimazu :2thumbsup:

A little tip - capture the European warship. It makes naval battles, especially when it comes to trade routes, so much easier.
