Eeeks.

Good luck, Asai is a tough start.

Also serves as a reminder to get my own Honda update posted...

Hello seireikhaan,
I had completely missed your Samurai Warlords campaign and checked it out this morning.
It's very nice to see people actually playing the campaign and having fun.

No, thank you for the work on a splendid mod. Easily a top mod for MTW.

The lands of Asai Hisamasa circa 1514 - The war with the Sanada

Several years pass and Nagamasa grows weary of his father, the Great Lord's, reluctance to make war. The Great Lord has been busy establishing trading links and has had a great many of the Ashigaru busy constructing ships. The Sanada attack Harima again hoping to regain their old lands. The resentful Nagamasa to whom it has fallen to defend this province, readies his troops for war... again.

Despite facing Lord Sanada himself with four units of his hatamoto and his heir, Nagamasa and his men win the day.

The Lord Asai sends orders that Nagamasa should strengthen his position and hold out until more money, troops and supplies arrive. Nagamasa is disgusted but reluctantly returns to the castle. His trusted retainers urge that he levy more Ashigaru and press on to Kawachi as their enemies grow stronger by the day, but Nagamasa has other ideas, "We await the old man's money and then we press on to Tamba. The Oda scum are our biggest threat. Lord Mori and Lord Sanada are fools."

Word arrives from Inaba the next day that two lower ranking Taisho's have been found dead. Lord Sanada is suspected, but Nagamasa suspects that their killers are closer to home. "The Great Lord seems troubled...?"

To summarise: Wow I've turtled this one. On turtling scale we're talking "hibernating turtle". In all honesty though it's been a struggle from the start. I have had to execute disloyal generals and my Heir Nagamasa has 0 loyalty, but is the best general I have! If my neighbours decide to attack en masse I'm pretty much done for as I've little money to support any more units. At the moment I'm concentrating on establishing trading links to try and get the money rolling in.
