Well HopAlong, The Mori have wiped out my navy. I spent all my resources taking the whole Island. As of my last play, the Mori landed after I finished off the invading Ouchi army. I had a "valiant defeat against them when they took my castle in the north, giving them three of my provinces, so they are severely weakened for my southern army that is marching north to take my provinces back. If I fail, I may go back in time to before I attacked the Ouchi army and wait in the castle to preserve more troops for the Mori invasion. As soon as the island is secure, all money will go to a new navy before any additional conquest.

The low level troop advantage is good to know, Faker. I have always used about half low level troops in other TW games even when I was prosperous.
