Howdy Fellers, an interesting thing occured while i was playing as Mori.
I had cleaned out central and Southern Japan, when I finally ran into the Purple Horde. Well, I was like, "yes! Time to kick some Horde's pigu!"
So anyways, Lord Hojo send in his trusted generals and I proceeded to kill 'em all before he ran out of generals and forced to attack himself. Well, at Owari, Lord Hojo was the first to cross the bridge. I was impressed by the bravery shown by Lord Hojo, so I decided not to turn him into a Pincushion, and let him be before I squish him. Then, this happened... facing entire army of the Mori, Lord Hojo and his Hatamotos did a Kevin Costner impression, as in Dances with the Wolves. He sort of ran up and down the Mori line, not attacking, just wondering around.
I was deeply moved my his Bravery( or foolishness?) and held up Yaris from charging him. So proceeded to turn the Hordes into Porcupines while their Lord marched up and down the Mori Line. Eventually, most of the enemies ran away, and stupid Hojo refused to leave, so I send in my Yari Samurais to "gently" escort the Hojo away. I had no intention of killing him, so I did not flank him, but attacked him from the front. Well, despite all my efforts, he refused to retreat, and with his Hatamotos blocking his escape route, he got stabbed where the sun don't shine and breathed his last... and Hojo went Ronin. Sigh... looks like even if you try not to kill their taisho or Daimyo, they still find way to get themselves killed... :-(
