First campaign finished.

[Xehh II]

I am really ashamed to say this but after 3 years of playing TW games, I only just finished my my first ever TW campaign today.
I finished a STW campaign as Imagawa and it was the most fun I've ever had in a TW game, so fun in fact that I'm going to start another STW campaign.

Outstanding, Xehh! I take it you and the Mori managed to successfully wipe out the Shimazu and Oda then?

And by the by: You needn't feel ashamed about not having completed a campaign before -- I have a feeling that's more common than you think. To be honest, I myself have probably never completed more than a dozen campaigns or so (and most of those were in Shogun, not MTW).

[Xehh II]

No, the Mori ended up forming an alliance with Oda and declaring war on me and when Hojo was destroyed Shimazu took over their provinces, giving Shimazu most of northern Japan. Mori turned christian and stormed me with guns, I lost most of my provinces before a Ninja killed Mori Masimoto(sp?), that Ninja ended up winning the game for me, I used him to kill all the Daimyos and their heirs and I just took over the rebel provinces,(I had the victory conditions on 40 out of 60 provinces).

[Martok]

Wow, that's pretty dramatic -- you've gotta love how the game can hinge on those types of events!

By the way, I hope that ninja was given full retirement benefits.

I actually also stop playing more often, than finish the campaigns. Usually some new mods come out, or even a new Total war game, and I have to try it, so I abandon the campaign...

[Xehh II]

Yeah, I useally give up campaigns as well but this one was so interesting, I just had to keep playing and finish it.
