Swordsman event

How do I get the swordsman event? I'm playing as Shimazu and they get better No-Dachi but I can't get them 'til the event.

Just fight a battle or two - one of your warriors will achieve this breakthrough and then off you go!

To be more specific, one of your Yari units must achieve a certain honour level (2 maybe?) for the first time. As Spongie said, it should only take 1-2 battles for that to happen.

Yup, you usually get it after the first good battle. And then start pumping out those No-Dachi's!

After one battle?

Must be my playing style, I usually took lots longer. I guess that's because I use almost only archers in the beginning phase..

I never knew that it was specifically a yari unit that had to achieve something, so thanks! I keep learning about this game.

It might not only be Yari. My memory is a little hazy but archer kills get only half the honour gain. Which means by the time you would have an honour 2 archer you would have an honour 3 yari. Half the time, would mean twice as many significant battles.

Try and see if getting your Hatamoto into battle increaes the speed of swordsmen event.

Hey Drisos! Good to see you again.

To be honest, Papewaio is probably correct (in that it doesn't need to be a Yari unit that reaches the honour threshold for the Swordsman event). I've long been under the impression that it has to be a YS/YA unit, but there's no real reason to assume that that's so. It's just far more likely for Yari units to get the honour increase than Archers is all, as they're obviously inolved in melee a lot more often.
