The Horde

[Derfasciti]

Hmmm... Well in here: http://www.totalwar.org/hosted/maltz/01_Oda/index.htm he is playing an oda campaign and keeps mentioning a "horde" that's where I got the idea of a horde in other campaigns. Perhaps spawning randomly.

I do not know if it was a mongol horde or whatever. I do know of the hojo/mongol campaign though.

He refers to the Hojo horde. If you play an eastern clan, especially in the vanilla game, the west will eventually be conquered by the Hojo (or sometimes the Uesugi). At this point, they will have a large number of full stacks available to fight you. This phenomenon was known as the Hojo horde.

I looked at the link and that's not really horde and actually has less enemy AI stacks than an average endgame.

As Togakure said, it's a "feature". And they don't' spawn randomly. The AI trains units non-stop! I assume it happens in all the AI provinces, because the reinforcements comes in stacks too and the border provinces are literally flooded with unit-stacks who attack you every turn.

Ah ok. Thanks for clearing that up.

The Horde can happen to any faction, though it is most common that the Hojo takes up the mantle (apparently due to their lower building cost). This is due to the AI's ability of deficit spending. The units are not spontaneously generated. More like money lenders to the AI factions spontaneously generate. This was later removed (not sure if V1.12 does or only WE/MI does so).

I believe there is also a mod you can download (maybe by Barocca) in which you can play the Sengoku Jidai game and the mongol horde invades. Maybe that is in the downloads section here at the .ORG

I know what you mean. Barocca created a modification in which the Hojo had not conqueren Japan by the time the Mongols arrived. Another 'What if'-scenario. So as indivudial clan you need to keep off the mongols, but the other clans might be your enemies as well. I never played it sadly, but it seems like a nice campaign. I don't recall where I ever downloaded it, but it'll probably be available on the .org server as well.
