I managed to take two Hojo provinces (the rich one bordering the main Uesugi territory and another one), the Hojo currently hold very little territory but they do have a large stack near me, also, one of the other clans is trying to take my most inland province

BTW does the AI get better buildings ? The Hojo seem to have some nice advanced buildings in their main territory, whilst I just have tier 1 stuff (and lots of mines !).
Different clans have different campaign AI...I think hojo is set to train ashigaru for soldiers and make lots of buildings.
