I encountered the same problem when I played my first and only campaign, heh! I got my butt knocked all the way to the only land I had left, but just as death was near, and hojo moved all around me, my geisha house was built, I held strong skirmish after skirmish with few thousand troop, then my geisha killed his daimyo and , the end ok ok its underhanded but I am leo hahah! Not really I built the geisha house early allied with hojo, and then killed hojos daimyo to gain all his land, it worked, then allied some more and made some more assination till all was left was the guy in red, and those tiny ronin!
