Isn't Oda the hardest of the playable clans on legendary? A lot of people seem to think so, and from their position on the map I'd agree. At least the other very difficult clan, the Tokugawa, have their overlords to shelter behind if they play the diplomacy game correctly.
Hojo look like they would be an interesting one to try on legendary IMO. The combination of their position in busy central Japan, and their castle related bonus, should combine nicely. Once the guide is done and my current Date campaign concluded, I may give it a go. I'm not sure how I will get on though; I hate having a restricted camera on the battlefield and always used to turn it off in the earlier games. I used to have lots of problems with running my 'face' smack into an invisible wall right where I needed to give a move order.
I wonder if anyone has tried the Ikko-Ikki on legendary?
