Decisions...

Apart from it being a river province and having a good farm income, how would Kawachi benefit me?

It ll get you (miles) closer to bottlenecking in Yamashiro and Wakasa, solving your multiprovince frontier, while increasing your income and potential (plus one honor in Yamashiro). Also a good missile based force in Kawachi will punish attackers severely no matter which direction they are coming from.

Well he knows a little, but the Lord Buddha might have something to say about that.

Not to mention his followers.

I've decided to avoid gunpowder at least until the Dutch arrive and maybe altogether. I know that with the Portuguese you can effectively double cross them and build the trading posts without converting your Daimyo to Christianity, but this time around I want to keep the Mori purely Buddhist and concentrate on having Monks as my main elite unit. I will not be training as much cavalry either.

Dear me - this sounds more theocentric than the Kamakura Shogunate.

!it burnsus!
