Ronin Ramblings

[tool Dude]

Im lookin foward to play as tha Rebels. Seems fun and challenging too...just wondering around what to do as tha campaign goes on.

[Drisos]

How do I play the rebels?

Do I have to change some setting or what?

Do I have to download something?

Sounds like fun, and it like you have to use very a very different strategy than I'm used to. I think I'll try this as soon as I'm done with my current campaign.

[Togakure]

To play the ronin faction, start a Sengoku Jidai period campaign (the other MI campaigns--1530, 1550, 1580, Mongols--won't work for this). Select any clan you want, as it won't matter. Once the campaign starts (when you get to the strategy map for your first turn), type .conan. (include both dots). You should hear a click, and then you will be in control of the ronin faction instead of the one you originally selected.

Thanks, I'll try it right away!

It's wild. In the first 3 years I crushed Oda by accidentally isolating him in Owari and losing a battle there... because I sent everyone in on his 11 Heavy Cavalry. I lost, but not after killing him... so I got all his lands.

Then, I was just about to repel a Mori invasion by Mori himself which would have left him no place to flee to (he'd withdrawn from a mere punitive expedition I sent out). And...

I crashed it. If you ALT+TAB out a lot, save early and save often!

Ahhh ... hate it when that happens. I've developed a reflex now so that I always hit CONTROL+S before I hit next turn. That way if it crashes I always have a quicksave which I can reload.
