had this conversation before.

is the hojo horde a cheat(in other words the hojo gets more koku than he is enitled to)
also does it manufacture troops in provinces with no troop building facilities?

or just good ashigaru management(after a while for about every 10 units he makes at least 8 are ashigaru)this makes up the majority of the horde with very few decent troops'but overwhelming numbers.he has at least 10 dojo's in 10 different provinces churning out 10 units per season or 40 per year.

or a combination of both.

if it's just number 2 then surely his horde could be countered by all players building similar ashigaru heavy armies'and also why is it just the hojo and not the others?
