As nice as their bonus is,they are not in a posistion to win.I'v played them on normal countless times,and theres no way to beat the Imagawa within two years.Why?Because no sooner then you capture that land,it revlots and makes a LARGE Imagawa sided army.Worse,You've committed everything you had to that,and Ronin are now invadeing your island from Shikoku because your garrison is eleswhere.
In my most revent battle,I had captured all the Imagawa land within two years,and,two of those lands revloted no sooner then I got them.I did everything I chould,but they still revolted because you just don't have enough men at this point in the game.Now I'v got to LARGE Imagawa armys.ALso,during the time I was invadeing Imagawan lands on the island,Ronin invaded bungo.No biggy,that province is worthless.But,Imagawa conquered them,and BUNGO REvolted against them with a HUGE Pheasant army.My military desperately tryed to fight off Imagawa,meanwhile the Ronin kept divideing their armys and conquering my land.I did manage to push the Imagawa off my island,but then TWO MORE Pheasant revolts caused me to bottle up in Hizen.This is where I cuss my computer out for the last time and turn the game off.
Don't tell me you can get rid of the imagawa early,phesant revolts and loyalist samurai revolts will pop up like crazy in response because you don't have enough men early on to garrison properly.
