Here is where I got last night, sadly I didn't take the initiative to take Mino before another clan did. My major trouble is that I am allied with both Takeda and Mori.

I really hate attacking my allies so I suppose I will need to ally with an enemy of my ally or lure one to attack me. I don't know if the TW games fits my prefered playing style, ahwell. Perhaps I should focus on economy for a little while Any suggestions?
Bribing them might have been a very good idea. Now you have monks and no more rebels. bribing is expensive though.

Well the alliance problem is bad. you can concentrate on your own, but then the enemy will also grow stronger. later in the game you will have several enemies, and they should better not be so good. best thing to do is to prevent them from growing strong and attack them. personally I'd prepare an attack on mino. that secures owari, your hq. I don't know about mino's economy though. harima might be good too, but takeda has some big armies and facing three enemy's can be hard. regions like totomi and shinano are useful for their honour improvements, so are good to have too. attacking mori is easy, but attacking takeda is more useful, I think. only problem is that if they're in alliance the other might turn against you too. well if you have some money build up your dojo's in yamashiro as it deliveres extra honour. some imporved farmland in owari is great for your economy.

thanks a lot for this thread, p_nutter! fun to read, with some intresting aspects of the oda 1530 campaign. nice screens also congratulations on your victories.
