Highly intresting. I never expierenced any of this, only tried Playing the rebels in other 'starting periods'. I never pay close attention to my money anyway () it's usually more then enough.

I noticed some other stuff though.. at least, I think so.

Shinobi's seem more effective. It seemed very easy to cause revolt. Not very sure about it though, could be that I never used them well enough with normal factions.

Samurai Archers seem more effective...!! A lot! I was attacking the oda in owari I believe, and my archers shot up one unit after another. To the last man, I shot their entire army. I've done this before in normal campaign mode but that was with loads of archers against a few ashigaru's... but this battle was fair in numbers.. I was suprised of how every volley of 1 unit seemed to kill 10 enemies or so. Weird.
