Minikiller, if you join( i'm on da list!) i won't mind you taking uesugi( i almost always take him too, but that's a good opportunity try out another clan)

no kensai = no problem i think if there would be any kensai, they would be there only in the latest part of the game and wouldn't play a big role.

i maybe would find it even better to play it all AI. vs. AI.( i'm not that good (yet), of course that will improve soon!

you could also play the rebels full attacking, hahaha (they would problably win ) better to play as you said!
but, if you just play and build your army and don't attack, and your army would be huge after some time, at least if no one attacks you(that could happen, because attacking you would be a life of war with you, and you can't really destroy the rebels )

castle's are neccesary(i won't storm them much, but maybe once and that would be a problem)

we could start when 7 players available the 8th isn't neccesary and it would only slow up starting the campaign!

do we have more players already? i've got a friend that will maybe join!

in the MP campaign- how will you get to the campaign? ( a link on the site or just with EA-play?) -with battles we'll have to set times to play them(if battles won't be AI vs AI)aren't we? -should we set a topic in sword dojo for chatting about the campaign, or is there possibillity for that in the game interface?

elmarkofear, i really like you(and puzz3d + others) doing this, it must be a lot of work and Togakure Ojonin(another member as you problably knew) said it is very rare that someone organises a MP campaign, i'm lucky to join in yours!
