Mori guides, hints and tips

[Maltz]

Mori is the hardest of the three western clans, since there are more neighbors to begin with, and we will need to maintain armies on multiple fronts, unlike the two island clans. Bizen and Hoki is a good line to maintain, as they specialize in Blacksmith/Armorer and Crafts. Once we secure these two, we can get the third army to go for the richness of Northern Kyushu. Start the campaign by rushing 4 Bow Kobaya, so you can secure all four trade nodes in the west.

Mori also has an interesting early-mid game DLC unit "Wako Raiders". They are not really more powerful than their cousin Katana Samurai (having inferior armor and can't really make up for it with increased melee defence), but they can be mass produced. If you need the extra push to defeat an AI that has tons of Yari, go Wako (they are swords)!

Here is the ongoing story of my Mori campaign. You can find some naval tactics discussion as well.
