Favourite faction?

[edyzmedieval]

Hey guys,

Which is your favourite faction?!
Takeda all the way.

I'm going back to STW a bit, cuz it's Christmas is approaching, and the music always makes me sentimental.

Hi Edyz,

Good to see you in Sword Dojo and to hear you'll play a bit Shogun again!

I'm more an Uesugi Person myself...

I love to see arrows fly and I love to see my enemies die...

[edyzmedieval]

Good archers.

Maybe a mod for STW will be good, with many new provinces and units.
I wonder how good will the STW mod for RTW will be.....

[Drisos]

I'm kinda waiting for that mod too...

From what I've heard Stw itself is hard to mod... Ca should just make TW4 an STW2

[Kagemusha]

Hello guys! My favourite faction in STW is Mori. Altough my favourite clan on Sengoku Jidai period is Hosokawa.

[edyzmedieval]

Hehe, Hosokawa.

From the clans, I prefer the Masamune clan.

[AggonyBetou]

Mori it is 4 me:D

[Drisos]

Hi Betou!! Any news on your connection?

[Uesugi Kenshin]

Uesugi in game and out for me.

I hate having multiple borders, I prefer to roll down from the north and maintain an even front. It can be a bit of a pain because you either need to sacrifice provinces early on or quickly wipe out the Hojo to give you that nice east-west line, but it is worth it. It is really great when you get Kenshin because he generally shows up either when I'm having a bit of trouble with the Hojo or trying to reclaim the provinces that I abandoned early on.

[NodachiSam]

It is tough to say. I'm fond of Uesugi, Mori, and Shimazu and in that order. I prefer having a one front to worry about. I also like the Uesugi starting lands since they are easier to defend and I've done a lot of ambushing with them.

[Ludens]

Uesugi. I am an archer fan and the Uesugi lands are very rich, though keeping on to all of them is difficult. Abandoning Hida is the best thing to do. Retreating from Shinano as well may seem cowardly, but Takeda and Imagawa always will try to take it, so you can let them squable about it and deal with them once you have overan the Hojo and built up an infrastructure. Once you are that point, victory is almost certain.

Another disadvantage of Uesugi is late access to guns, but when you are rich guns are not that attractive.

[AggonyBetou]

yes man! Gonna order it this week:)

[Drisos]

!!!!!!!!!!!! Good news!

the return of AggonyBetou... sounds good Anyways I played a bit with an new member of your clan called 'AggonyLion'. And Katsuchiyo is trying to fix his comp so he can play stw again

anyways when you get your connection... check Sos forum on aggony forumz... there's the info on the server

I like the Takeda best followed by the Oda. I like all the clans for the first couple turns but after the first 8 provinces or so they slow down. With the takeda and oda starting positions you have a large border for longer which is what makes the game interesting. As soon as I get an even front I lose interest in the game.

[ThijsP]

I just started playing STW but I already have a favorite: Shimazu. Mainly because I like the south more, there isnt much money to make. Only problem is that in the center I keep meeting the Hojo or Uesugi hordes.

[arcade81]

As soon as I get an even front I lose interest in the game.

I agree, for this reason Mori and Oda are my favourite Strategy-wise.

But the Imagawa clan is great for a Ninja fix.
