Yee-Yee-Oh!: Mori (Legendary, Domination)

[Maltz]

Motonari: "Takakage, suppose we take over Shoni's provinces, we will be left with Sagara and Ito. Sagara is our enemy, and Ito is not very friendly, either. It will be ideal if we can somehow befriend Ito, so we can take some sweet time converting Shoni's population back to Shinto-Buddhism."
Takakage: "How about an alliance? There is no way they would refuse."
Motonari: "Alliance could be bad - what if we want to make a peace deal with Sagara? Then we would get a bad name as an unreliable ally."
Takakage: "That's true. How about marriage? I heard that the Ito daimyo has a single daughter. And one of my second cousins are still looking for a bride."
Motonari: "Cousin... Nobu... nobunoda? nobanodu? nabanudo? er..."
Takakage: "Yes, that's him. Anyway, let's see if we can get a marriage link with Ito."
Motonari: "Good!"



Takakage: "Father! Is 350 koku a fair price?"
Motonari: " Less than the price of a unit of Bow Ashigaru to buy a clan's friendship?"

[Maltz]

Takakage: "Father, as we expected, the Buddhist rebels are gaining ground. They have taken Tsukushi."
Motonari: "Hm, what took those in Hizen so long?"
Takakage: "Don't know. Maybe these rebels were hiding from the forests, so it takes them longer to reach the castle."



Messenger: "Mori daimyo! We are under attack from Buddhist rebels! And... our armies cannot move because our cargo wheels were all sabotaged! Must be the bastards of Sagara!"
Takakage: "Yes! Must be those Sagara rats!"
Motonari: "This is really unfortunate. In fact, our army has reached Tsukushi. We will deal with the rebels there."
Messenger: "Sigh... we knew we should not covert to nanban's religion before we can get the permit to build chapels! We wish you good luck - those Buddhist rebels are quite powerful."
Motonari: "We will be careful. Now please go and tell your daimyo that they can always count on us."
Messenger: "Thank you!"

Motonari: "Ah... this is probably going to be easy again. Now where is the my stunt double again? Let me take another nap. Northern Kyushu summer is so hot and humid. This makes me sleepy."

[Maltz]

Motonari: "What? We lost 400 men? Well... Let's hope Sagara gets tied down by Ito, so we can recover."
Takakage: "Sorry father. Without your precense, I did my best."
maltz: "No actually Mr. Kobayakawa took a nap as well." (auto-resolved)
Takakage: "Get this retainer out of here! Oh right, he brought the news that Imagawa wants a peace treaty with us if we pay 2700 koku... wahahaha!"



Motonari: "Buhahaha! That's really a good afternoon joke."
Takakage: "They seem to be serious, actually. And of course I have asked that crazy retainer to cut the emissaries' nose off before sending him back."
Motonari: "What a bunch of clowns!"
Takakage: "If they dare to come back, our real navy will be ready for them!"

[Maltz]

Takamoto: "The rebels are fleeing! Charge!"



Note: There is no more point of fleeing if we are confident that some rebels will be left fleeing off the field and back into the castle, and therefore keep the siege alive. This way, the Bessho stack is locked in their "attack Mimasaka" mission, and will never get the wrong idea to attack us. Just to play safe.

[Maltz]

Takakage: "Father, we have received a special prmotion on Ashigaru trainers. For 8 seasons we can train superior Ashigaru!"
Motonari: "Wow. That happened way too early - we do not even have encampments yet! Can we ask the Ashigaru trainers to delay this?"
Takakage: "How? They have posted the recruit ads..."
Motonari: "Hm... so unfortunate..."
maltz: "No problem. We only need to load the auto-save from the beginning of the turn..."



Takakge: "Father! We have received a promotion... Sushi buffet is 20% off this week!"
Motonari: "Nice! Let's go!"

Note: Actually I have no idea whether canceling the promotion event will actually delay it. Maybe the event will never return! We will have to wait and see.

[Maltz]

Motoharu: "To Bizen! This is too easy... we only have to wait and suddenly we have another city to take over. Hm, I suddenly feel sleepy... "
Yurinobu: "Exactly. Now we have access to the best blacksmith of Chukoku! Let's start the constructions! Yeah let's take a nap together." (auto-resolved)



Note: Forgot to split the generals! Corrected this in real-game.

[Maltz]

Motonari's stunt double: "That's Hizen! The last province of the late Shoni. Soldiers, start the assault! Is my voice acting good today?"
Takakage's stunt double: "Sh...! We only get paid if nobody recognize us! Let's just issue the orders!" (auto-resolved)

[Maltz]

Yorinobu: "General Motoharu, it seems that the little badges in front of my chest are a little different than the rest of yours..."
Motoharu: "Indeed. You are going to be our clan's very first Navy general! Congratlations!"



Yorinobu: "But my only retainer gives me +1 attack for land battle..."
Motoharu: "Er... too bad. That means you can look for chances to do landing attacks."
Yorinobu: "But... when is the last time you hear about a landing attack?"
Motoharu: "Actually, never. Ha!"

[Maltz]

Takakage: "Father, our ninja reported two full stacks of Sagara army in Higo. Our ninja only temporarily disabled one of their generals."
Motonari: "Hm... it looks like Sagara was not even hurt since the beginning of the war."
Takakage: "Should we attack them?"
Motonari: "Let Ito play with them if they can. The Christian population needs some time to convert. If they come to us, we will crush it and force a peace treaty."
Takakage: "Sure. But Sagara also converted..."
Motonari: "Ah... that Bungo province is a holy curse! Whoever takes it converts right away without thinking about consequences."

[Maltz]

Takakage: "Father, Ito threw a full stack of army onto Sagara and was promptly defeated."
Motonari: "Yep. Not everyone has night-vission goggles. Sigh... we have to rely on ourselves."
Takakage: "But Sagara is here. They are asking for peace!"
Motonari: "Oh? That's funny. If we can make Sagara focus on Ito, we can buy all the sweet time we want to convert the population. Then our monks will be freed up to cause some damage."



Takakage: "How about their daimyo's daughter. We can't run out of single second cousins..."
Motonari: "Yeah, Nobunoda or whoever he is! Deal!"

[Maltz]

Takamoto: "Ah... the two huge stacks awaiting outside Mimasaka have both disappeared. Finally I can take it."
Ninja: "Great! But... that would be end of our lucky streak."
Takamoto: "No worry - I have asked your associate to recite a rebellion in Yamana's province! That's where I will be headed next."
Ninja: "Have fun!"
Takamoto: "Yeah! Catch me if you can, rebels!"
