Re: Strategic Decision
Nice move = and now my piece of advice.
You got Owari and Mino - defend it well and on this stage don't attack Shinamo (everyone rush at you).
On west take Bitchu and Hoki and you can stop - force Mori/Takeda (I'm not sure who is there) to casefire (if they still exist). They will be fighting with Shimazu and you... find good place to sea attack - maybe at Wakasa.
Same time train Legendary Geisha :) With this lady you can kill daymio per daymio.

I'm not a big fan of using Geisha's; I'll just get one to protect Ieyasu.

Re: Strategic Decision
Lord Mori is dead! He finally mustered enough courage to attack, but was beaten by the more experienced Tokugawa general whose name escapes me at this moment.
His samurai became ronin and that should make my unification a lot simpler. Also, to add to the joy, the Dutch finally arrived at Nagasaki and we immediately began constructing trading ports all over our lands. In a few years, we should be able to mass produce musketeers to counter the Takeda cavalry.
Meanwhile, Uesugi and Takeda are battling for Shinano, constantly draining each other's reserves. Hojo, on the other hand, is building up, I think. I'll have to dispatch some spies.

Re: Strategic Decision
Latest map: we unified the whole west! The last Shimazu province is being subdued as we speak
Hojo did some raids near my borders, which is actually a good sign since it means there's no stable situation around Takeda, Uesugi and Hojo. If we choose the right targets, this could become very easy

Re: Strategic Decision
Outstanding, Wasp! It looks like Mori's demise has indeed made things much easier for you.

Re: Strategic Decision
Thank you!Outstanding, Wasp! It looks like Mori's demise has indeed made things much easier for you.
The Hojo are annoying me though. They've taken Owari from me, but I'm winning their siege battles so far. Since all my recently conquered lands now have Dutch trading posts, I can mass produce (literally!) musketeers for the numerical advantage. If I have enough money, I think I can make about twenty units per season.
So, I guess this campaign is as good as over. It's just a matter of time
I think I'll do a somewhat more in-depth journal topic for my next campaign, if you guys are interested.

Re: Strategic Decision
This is really cool - thanks for posting your ongoing war. I'd love to see more in future.
It's interesting that you chose to show the strategy map rather than the actual battles, but it does make it much easier to see 'the bigger picture' and what you're aiming to do.
I like the fact you chose Imagawa and aimed to reunite your lands. It added a motive to the strategy.
