Ronin Ramblings

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Then, I was just about to repel a Mori invasion by Mori himself which would have left him no place to flee to (he'd withdrawn from a mere punitive expedition I sent out).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

So have I. Shogun has always been unstable on my system but lately it's been running well. 7 years into my campaign and no crashes yet.

What about playing the Hojo against the Mongol invasion?

Man thats slaughter. The mongols are easy to play as but hojo.

I forsee slaughter.

The Mongols aren't that tough to beat if you play your cards right. Just have to build ports in the right places (to expediate troop deployment to key strategic choke points) and bottle them up on Kyushu. The hardest part is repelling the second wave from the mainland (Honshu). If you accomplish this and keep them limited to northern Kyushu, they eventually aren't able to expand, which means they don't get very many reinforcements. I think that's the key--limiting their expansion so they don't raise any revenue. Preventing them from winning battles also keeps their generals from gaining honor (you don't want any to reach 4 stars, and you don't want to lose your generals that have 4 or more ...). Once you get your production machine going it's all over for them (Yari Sams from Yamashiro, Yari Cav from Shinano, No Dachi from Satsuma if you can hold onto it, Archers from Totomi, etc.).
