    Ouch!

    Out-numbered and out-gunned :(

    That would have been a tough battle against the AI let alone a MP pro.

    I am curious though...did the Chosomonky remember to turn "Skirimish" on? It's default is Off. (not that it really works anyhow :p) Light cavalry tends to make a mess of archers unless you are very quick seeing the charge and reacting.

    Has the makings of a good opera so far! Act1: Lands regained and sweet revenge; Act2: The Quixotic rush to new lands and flush of Victory!; Act3: Tragedy!!!...Act4: We're not dead yet!?

    Good story so far :) and the seats are comfy

    I had skirmish turned off on purpose, but I don't remember why now...

    In our brief test game I stopped your small horde of archers from firing several volleys by chasing them back with cavalry.

    I hope that isn't in reference to me. I'm pretty hopeless in MP. Way back I think I played a couple MTW1 and RTW games with a friend against the AI. And when I say a couple that's meant literally.

    By the way Zim and I are going to add pics to each other's battles (because we are both snapping away) - but we can't do it in here, only in the Throne Room thread where we have mod access. So we'll post here to let you know we did it and you can check them there.

    And now for further adventures of the mighty Zimazu.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    When we left off Daimyo Takahisa had very wisely decided not to pursue the assault on Ito's last province. After meeting with some reinforcements heturned toward the city again only to find the cowardly dogs had dared to recruit more defenders from outlying village the brief time he was away. This could not go unpunished. The city was laid siege again, this time with the intent to let the Ito sweat it out a few months before attacking.

    Surprisingly, the Ito decide to attack him next season.



    Undaunted, the Shimazu forces array for battle.



    During the upcoming battle Hyuga looms in the distance, reminding both sides of what was at stake.



    Ito troops on the march, including the elite Samurai retainers of their daimyo.





    The Shimazu prepare to face the Ito horde.



    Unsurprisingly, the Ito break quickly after a few volleys of arrows and charges by the junior general's cavalry. The remainder of the Ito flee back to Hyuga.





    Naturally the Daimyo decides to strike at Hyuga while the defenders are weak from the battle.



    Brave man that he is, Takahisa decides to dismount and join the assault.





    Ugh, legendary Daimyo he may be, but he's not as young as he used to be.



    Of course, while Takahisa may be brave he isn't stupid. arhcers had whittled down the few defenders before he made his glorious escalade.



    With the defeat of the last of the enemy bodyguard Hyuga was now a Shimazu possession.

    Update 2, Mark 2.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    Takahisa was quite perturbed to discover his ally Sagara had ringed him in by conquering all the provinces his lands now neighbored. Left with nothing to do he turned to that most unwarlike and therefore dull task, catching up on his nations economic, cultural, and diplomatic progress.

    Hmmm, ally Sagara has accepted some strange foreign religion. Why couldn't they stick with the much more Japanese Buddhism? My advisors say that religion came from China, but still it was an old imported tradition. Completely different from this new one. Having been in Japan so long made it respectable.



    A son comes of age. Surely he will be a great warrior like his father.



    A trade deal with the "Chosokabe"? What clan is this? They sound barbaric. Well, no doubt they will bow in time to the Shimazu, might as well take their money by their consent for now until we can take it by force.



    Way of the Sword? Maybe research is more valuable than I first thought.



    V&V RIP Helmut Becker, Duke of Bavaria.

    Still waiting for the AI to start kicking butt and taking numbers. BTW who initiated the trade agreement between the Zimazu and Chosomonkey?

    Lol, I think it was me. We both needed the cash! and it was in our truce phase so what the heck, right?

    I will have another update up later today or tomorrow. We've started fighting now but there's still a bunch more to update you on before we get to that...
