First campaign finished.

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).

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.

Xehh,

After 8 years of gaming, 4 major TW-titles and 5 expansions I´ve never completed a full campaign. One of this games greatest flaws is the lack of challenge once you´ve reached that point where really no one can compete with you. I´m not a conquer-all-kinda-guy. Here´s where I usually stop and restart.
With Shogun I always finished but on the other hand that game is more like an expansion as MI is. With MTW I usually quit when I´d reach my Glorious Achivements, same with VI. I´ve never finished Rome either, or BI but I did play Alexander to the end once then uninstalled it. M2 didn´t change anything. I have however finished all campaigns in Kingdoms with most of the factions.
Its kinda telling that the "game" that has intrigued me the most during the TW-era is actually not produced by CA - it´s EB. That mod enhanced my gameplay to some 4-500 turns instead of the usual 50-100. Can´t wait for EB2 to be released for M2.

IMHO there has only been 2 games in history that had me endure playing from the start to the end: CIV II and EU II & III.

[Xehh II]

Yeah, EB is awesome but I've never finished an EB campaign either, as Rome I hardly even made it to the Polybian reform.
