Hi. The enemy daimyo is powerful and protected by elite bodyguards (hatamoto?)

You need a Naginata to block an enemy daimyo. You can shoot it with arrows too, which is easier. What's great about STW is that it is balanced so long as you don't use elite troops or attack early without possible access whatsoever.
