[ReluctantSamurai]

...(was it called Samurai Warlords?). That looks like it kept things alive for a little while longer but without dev support it was always doomed to die.

Yes, Samurai Warlords. When I get the urge to play Shogun again, it will be the SW version.

No #key groupings or anything? .....hoooow? You just literally point and clicked your way to cav skirmish dominance?!

Yep, pretty much... Dunno if that was normal or not, but point-and-draw was my modus opperandi. Had to occasionally hit the pause button on difficult terrain, but the longer I played, the less I needed to do that.

All true, and good tacticianship. Next time I play a Takeda campaign I'll be recording so I'll see if I can play it like an actual cavalry army next time.

That'll be fun to watch...

It sounds like your playstyle can be really fun to watch and I always am down for trying something new so I'll see if I can get better at my cav micro by the time I record my Takeda campaign.

Bear in mind that my style of play was high-risk, high-reward. When it worked, it was a source of great victories. When it failed....well....you get this:

In any case, I had A LOT of fun playing that way...

[edit]

Found a long lost friend! Going through old boxes of "stuff" and came across a disc with my Shogun .TGA's....woohoo Also has my .TGA's for a Hojo Mongol campaign. Now I can put screenies back into my Nobunaga's Ambition campaign (as soon as I get a new image host). Time to fire up my photo editor and get those TGA's converted to JPEG's.

Looking at end-of-battle screenshots, it was interesting to see kill/loss ratios, and just how much I really used Cavalry Archers. There were a couple of battles where their combined kills were higher than my Musket....
