Takeda Campaign

**Drisos** · 05-05-2005, 10:23

spring 1532
90 Koku left
------------

The rebel armies in Iwami, Suo and Bingo aren't very big, once I complete the dojo in Aki I'll conquer the regions soon. Aki has a good army, so I will easily obtain that region til the dojo is finished. Back to the east:

I don't have money left again.
In Izu are now 120 ashi's, in Kai I have a pretty good army.
Hojo has:
archer dojo
spear dojo
Golden palace(!)
tranquil garden

His army is about: 240 ashi's, 120 sam archers, A daimyo and about 180 units of yari sam.
^^^^^
I'm not exactly sure, but it was almost this, not too strong, but not so weak either.

I believe it is called a tranquil garden

BTW, I forgot to say it's good to see your technical problems are solved.

Nice reports of your campaign too.

Thank you!

Most people stopped reporting after a few years, but after a few years, it all gets more complicated and difficult, and more intresting, so I intend to go on for a while.

Thanks for the translation too, those words are not in a dictionary.

Summer 1532
still 90 Koku
--------------

The Yari's dojo in Aki is finished, so I can get expanding in the west.
Izu's loyalty has improved, but my Koku didn't: taxes to 110%.
There is still no war between two clans, everybody is just trying to steal regioins from the rebels.
I send my emissary to Suruga to check Imagawa's army, but conquering suruga wouldn't be of a to great use. (Suruga's income < 200 koku.)
Sagami would be great to conquer, Hojo is even building improved lands there.

Autumn 1532
90 koku
---------------

The shimazu sent an emissary, I now have 4 allies.
I checked the map, Shimazu and I are still the only ones that have conquered a R&R region, but all the armies are rapidly growing.
My emissary is now in Suruga, next turn, I can check out his army.

I still don't know who to attack in the east, I hope hojo is so foolish to attack me or uesugi.

Winter 1533
Had a good season: 1596 Koku
------------------------------

The big castle in Kai is ready, but I'm not gonna' spend money on a new building yet again.
I train 60 ashi's in Aki, I want to attack the rebels there next turn.
Imagawa's army is 50% archers, a good prey for yari cav. but his daimyo is 4star and all his men have high honour, so his army is pretty good.

I start building a mine in Kai.
I train 60 sam. archers in Kai.
My emissary now goes to shinano, to check again what the rebels have, I might want to attack Shinano.

Forgot something again, my heirs:

Takeda Shingen(!!!!!!) 11 years
takeda nobushige 4 years.

Spring 1533
696 Koku left
-------------

I'm gonna' attack the rebels in the west, but don't have much units to maintain loyalty: taxes back to 100%

I train 60 ashi's again in Aki.

I attack Suo from Aki:

Takeda vs. R&R
88 vs. 4
My general is ***, 28 cav. archers, 60 ashi's.

My emissary is in Shinano, but I send it on to Sagami. I could easily beat Shinano's army, but I'm afraid that all the rebel regions next to Shinano would attack me back right away, they would probably outnumber me, so I concentrate on Hojo again.

I train 60 yari cav. in Kai.
I get 60 ashi's from Izu back to Kai, because I'm going to attack soon, I think.
