looks like we have finally got some answers from creative...

some we already knew - and some completely new info...nice to see that Kensai will be easily ridden over by Cavalry and the like but a BAD point from my point of view is that you CAN buy Kensai seems to degrade them in my eyes...
and nice that it is a simple - attack - get loot - get more men - attack - get loot - get more men................ way of doing things. (which is really the way you have to play in the campaign anyway) the really interesing thing is the stance of the Hojo...that is different to the way we play in STW at the moment, being permenantly on the defensive.
we all knew about the AI koku rejigging anyway but its good to know that the attacks will be spread out...
I would like to see a 'fun' setting for multiplayer games where you can play with ANY unit in the game from Teppu Ashigru to MHC just for the hell of it but it is on the other hand reassuring that they have kept it historical.
Interesting non-commital response on the ability of Mongul Cav Archers...i'd guess that they can fire while moving (kind of a heacy hint...but maybe not...)
"Mongols were among the best horse men in the world and this reflects in the skill of the mounted units. "

do anything...pick me to pieces with Cavalry Archers, ride me down with Heavy Cavalry, break my lines with No-Dachi, slaughter me on your Spears, hit me in the flank with Warrior Monks, ruin my attack with Naginata, finish the job with Yari Cavalry, shower me with arrows from your archers...but nama amida butsu...NO GUNS
