ok, but does it only take 4 ashigaru tu maintain order in a populace angred by christianity and an unhourable daimyo? i think that is pretty weird. but yeah, with only 8 provinces, it could also be a low number of provinces (hmm, got to be quick now in expanding, cause its 1556 already, and it's a short campaign). thanks!

PS: oh great, i just saw the black ship in a region i only had 3 trade ships. but now it's coursing towards my 1 bow kobaya, while others weaken it by attacking with 9 ships at a time and lose. hope i can take him :p
