Nanban Trade post to Nanban Quarter

Hi guys

Got a bit of a quandary going with my game which is in advance stages (1586). I have had a Nanban Port for some while now but it's never upgraded to Nanban Quarter which I need for the Nanban Trade ships

I have managed to ratchet Christianity down from 80% to 33% by saturating the province with monks-has this stopped any further development of the Nanban?

Hello mambaman

You have to be a Christian in order to be allowed to transform a Nanban Trade Port into a Nanban Quarter.

In order to build that, you have to be christian, so go to your clan info window thing, go to the Senate and all that tab (or w/e it is called, where you assign offices to people) and click the 'Convert to Christianity' button).

After about 20 turns of having an extremely angry populace and your relations with every non Christian clan going down the drain, as well as Christians not really liking you either for some reason, you can upgrade your Nanban Trade Post and churn out an unstoppable navy of trade ships. Funny how there is a limit on cannon bunes, but not these things lol.

I used them in one campaign, played as Mori as well lol. They are broken, they break the naval AI even more than it already is and half the time, they don't work properly.

No matter what you do, you cannot lose a naval battle as long as you have one of these things with you. I managed to control all sea routes into the Western part of the campaign map with 4 of those ships.

The most dangerous enemy ship are actually bow kobayas with fire arrows, which the AI rarely builds as soon as they unlock heavy bunes and other fancy stuff that still routs after taking one broadside.

Before I found out myself I wished someone would write a true "step by step guide" how to get trade with the foreigners, the build chain, becoming Christian etc.
Most guides are too superficial for those who do not know it.
