Looking for ideas (Chosokabe Legendary): how to make Sogo and Miyoshi fight?

Thanks for the input.

The problem with Shigoku provinces is that they are too small.
The rebel of Awa (Miyoshi's closer province) gets stuck when revolted, doing nothing, if there is an superior army in the castle. So I have to move that army out of the castle first. (I guess you can call that a map bug.)

Just a question. What is their temperament? When I was playing as Takeda, I controlled all of Japan, except for Honma, the little island. They were peaceful, but hostile. And they were at war with me, but didn't do anything.

They are both the "nice guy" types.

You already have it: Discharge the Honourable: Chosokabe.

I've usually ended up allying with one and attacking the other and then packing off my early army to take the three rich provinces in the NW of Kyushu which I find absolutely crucial for winning with Chokosabe (and probably the other western clans if I get round to playing them) - in my current legendary Chokosabe campaign Sogo stayed loyal right up until Realm Divide and so gave me the benefit of trade and their stone resource without the need to occupy and defend it.

As regards them fighting each other that does seem purely up to chance - at least at legendary the AI seems much less prone to attack other AI clans of roughly equal size and military power and particularly after RD their alliances and trade agreements never seem to change.

I really do miss the greater diplomatic options from earlier TW games - particularly the option to give away and buy provinces.
