Well, some of those mistakes make for interesting gameplay =p
I was playing a Very Hard coop campaign with a friend of mine, me playing as Mori, having gone Christian right at the beginning, to get the trade ships and just in general to have gunpowder units early on, because I kinda liked the idea.
My friend was playing as Chosokabe and decided to stay Buddhist and spam monks to surpress my religion that was coming in, whereever he bordered me, which eventually was all over the place.
In the beginning, we spent a long time securing our starting locations, before a war with Oda an Hojo saw us getting invaded and some pretty hectic province swapping took place. After we had secured pretty much the entire Western side of the map, with me controlling everything from North Kyusho (or w/e you spell that =p ) up to Kyoto and my friend controlling Shikoku (where Chosokabe starts) and Southern Kyusho, as well as a few provinces on the mainland, just North of Shikoku and we were in a longish war with Oda/Hojo alliance, which controlled most of the other side.
Our armies were pretty much all on the mainland, with some small units down South, on ships, landing somewhere, raiding a place and running aways again as well as an extensive sea blockade of all of Oda's Southern ports and some of Hojo's.
My friend decided to go Christian as well, for some of the fancy late game units. All of a sudden (we didn't have much of an idea at the time =p ) my friend's empire fell apart, with unrest and rebellions literally everywhere. A war broke out on Shikoku, between my friend and some Rebels, on Kyusho, Rebels were taking back half the island. As we hurried armies away from the front to deal with this, the front collapsed.
Within 5 turns, 4 clans had reemerged and the campaign map had switched from a relatively orderly and peacful West, vs a powerful alliance in the East and then some Date guy that never did much =p to an all out war on all fronts in the West (later, we scraped together some cash, to pay off the Date to attack the Oda and then there was no place that was not at war =p ).
Was pretty fun.
