Best Scenario / Faction for Newbie?

[Psiloi]

Mori was too my favourite clan, but have a lot of problems for a newbie:

1. Like all the southerness (or westerness) clans of STW, Mori will advance conquering the SW part and you can feel powerful, but is a false position, the North-Eastern clans like Hojo and Uesugi grow to a fantastic level and you always will be in vastly inferior numbers using all the richness of your half Japan.
2. Have a bad strategical position, not so bad like Oda but worst than most of the clans, in the middle of two emergents powers.
3. The agriculture of Chugoku, and in genereal the southwestern half, isn't specially profitable.
4. The warrior monks, wich are the native and elite troops of the Mori, are expensive and difficult of to develop, contrary to for example the No-Dachi of Shimazu.


Of course have a lot of advantages but i will say only following to Bonfire that there is a crucial advantage on the iron mines of Chugoku. Develop the commerce trade wich give a sure economical base (ports first and then agriculture, and the dutch better than portuguese of course) and a few but highly quality troops.

All in all as i say before, Mori is not for newbies, better is Shimazu and Hojo-Uesugi. Oda, Takeda and Imagawa are very very hard.



I know that anybody is reading this forum in these times, and that this is phantom thread, but i wanted remember all times.
