Yeah but the more I play the better I should get. That is how things get with me the more I do it the better I get. I am deciding on what clan to do next for shogun. I have a english campaign and I am doing really well on it.

Good - i would try the Hojo if i were you - they are a good clan for beginners imo.

Takeda may be a bit premature, as they are split as you know. Hojo on the other hand have to turtle early on to consolidate their rich lands and then take on the uesugi (usually). In other words a perfect set up for a newer player.
That is of course not to say that you shouldn't go for it if you feel like it!

I will probably go for Hojo. I like how they can make castles cheaper.
Re Clans to play:
The Prima Strategy Guide lists the following difficultly levels for the Clans:
Mori ( Red ) : Medium
Shimazu ( Green ) : Easy
Imagawa ( Mid Blue ) : Medium
Oda ( Gold ) : Hard
Takeda ( Black ) : Medium
Hojo ( Purple ) : Medium
Uesugi ( Dark Blue ) : Hard
I have played and won ( @ Difficulty = Normal ) with : Mori, Imagawa, Takeda, Hojo & Uesugi.
I found Mori & Hojo the easier of the medium ones ( and Uesugi to be easier than Takeda ! ).
In my opinion, you should be happy with your playing standard before moving onto trying the "split" clans of Imagawa & Takeda.
Enjoy.
I'm afraid the Prima guide is perhaps somewhat 'misguided'. I would definitely rate Uesugi as easier than Hojo and Imagawa are definitely harder than both. Personally I also find Mori quite easy.
It would be interesting to see players rate the factions in terms of difficulty.
