Which Clan Will You Play First

[Monk]

I'll probably grab a clan that is at one or another end of Japan, and slowly work my way out. I like to have my back covered. Of course, if naval invasions are working, this will probably be a moot tactic.

They absolutely are in the demo. Playing with the Free Campaign mod (which does nothing but remove the scripting restrictions), the Miyoshi will drop half stacks on your back door if you're not guarding your coast line with a fleet.

What worries me a bit in this game is how the naval invasions will play out. Will a completely neutral faction from other end of the map drop faction leader, all heirs and a massive army to your shores without a single turns notice, or will there be massive stacks in single ship that you can easily sink thus ending/crippling clans.

It's way too early to gauge anything of that nature, unfortunately. Even with the amazing work of a number of modders unlocking the demo, it's still a much smaller scale than anything we'll see in the retail edition.

From what I've seen the CAI makes decisions that makes sense. It gathers its strengths and marches on you in a show of concentrated force. If you're defending a bridge, it'll seek alternatives instead of rushing into a very hard, difficult battle. It's also done odd things: like absolutely crushing my armies in the field, but then not finishing the job and refusing to take my last province. Still: worlds more challenging than ETW's AI ever was. So we'll have to see.

Takeda!

This good.

[Doug-Thompson]

Takeda, because I read somewhere it has the best cavalry.

[gollum]

Yeah, it will certainly have in the game as it historically did.

[Gregoshi]

Takeda has had an incredible surge in the later stages of the voting and dominates the poll...as it should be (I added that last bit for you Takeda fans )

[Furunculus]

is there a wikia that lists the starting position and advantages of each clan?

The in game encyclopaedia lists all playable clan bonuses and starting locations, you can also look at the map to find out nearby province specialities.

[Furunculus]

cheers.

We are working on it, help and contributions would be appreciated.

Date or Shimazu, leaning towards Date however - Charging out of the North of Honshu with a Van of NoDachi will be FUN.

The Uesugi are tempting, although their starting position looks only slightly pereferable to the southerners. Somethingt hat might be fun is to play Christian Shimazu... Swords and gunpowder?

They bloody need an advantage like that given their starting location...
