Geography & Advice

Clan Hojo starts in a relatively safe place in the East of Japan; the river province of of Musashi can be held with a small garrison, the Uesugi in the north are easily overrun.

The advantage of building Castles at a discount may seem uninteresting – it isn't. You'll need a simple castle to build almost everything, and ever better castles in order to get at the really interesting troops. Building a fortress for the sake of a gold or silver Mine Complex pays off for any faction, with cheap castles it's a bargain.

Clan Hojo lends itself like no other to a "builder" scheme: after a few early exploits, you can sit safely behind a few easy to defend provinces and develop your lands as you wish. When you eventually chose to join in the fray, you can do so with the best troops money can buy.
