Chapter 05. Good things happen

Welcome back, wise Daimyos.

Notice: It seems that our chapters are getting long, that even the first page of thie war story stretches from the front gate to the out house. Many of you could experience slow load time. Therefore, we are going to have one picture per entry until we get to the next page.



It is the year of Nanban's Lord, autumn 1548. A great harvest arrived, and we decided to stockpile the food so we could have 4 seasons of 5 food surplus. This would translate to +20 growth in the castle town's commerce. At 20-30% of tax and 5 provinces, this means 25 extra koku per season to the end of the campaign. Not so much, but good to have in mind.

Note: Events like these (great harvest, Nanban trade port, etc.) are random. But if this season's auto-save file is loaded, the event is forever lost as if it never happened. The closest solution is to initiate some kind of battle in the turn in order to have a new save that perserves the good event. On the bright side, if we get bad news, it can be easily fixed, too.

We the Chosokabe clan gained controlled of all Shigoku. But in order to compete with other clans of Nihon (Japan), we still have a lot to do.
