There is a certain Royalty to the calm serene temple surrounds.
Some have said l have majesty...
The Ikko Ikki are the keepers of the true (royal) way of the warrior - we seek to become one with buddha through honourable death in battle.

Spies only count for one tenth of their CS for the purposes of grabbing land. You need 100 CS of Spies to take a Province. Therefore to pull off that trick you need a band of 10 Spies.
Originally posted by AThousandYoungI had heard rumours of trouble in Shikoku and decided to investigate matters personally, taking steps to ensure that I can intervene physically if need be. Is there anything I should be aware of?
Actually, as it turns out, there is something rather exciting in the south. My enemy seems to have sold his capitol.

Originally posted by Bosse de NageYes...Shikkoku belongs to me. I am however having some minor problems with rebellious peasants, but that should be quelled soon.

Are some of those peasants on horseback? A mighty lord such as yourself should have no trouble cutting them down to size.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungThere are standards for the transliteration. There are different systems, but none which would use double consonants instead of single consonants. It's not just a question of spelling; double consonants are pronounced differently, and "Shikkoku" would be an entirely different word.

Don't tell me I should have spelled it with one K. It's a transliteration, so there is no "correct" English spelling.
OMG PWNED
(Edit: If you want a different spelling, you could use "Sikoku".)

si vs shi, chu vs cyu, tsu vs tu etc etc ...
Originally posted by treetalkI have never used anything else than the Hepburn system (well, most of the time I simply have used kanji and kana 🙂). It's not the most logical one, though.

Originally posted by no1marauderYou're quite right! Heavy cavalry are particularly good with a murderous 4 hits at 50%. Wonderful back-up. Light cavalry are superb for breaking through into undefended provinces.
C'mon ATY; as the infantry gets killed, you just build it: it's cheaper and faster to replace. And sometimes you have to fight big battles and lose all the units in a force to wear down your opponent if you have overall superiority. And cavalry can attack in the second phase from two provinces away which makes it really useful when you have the central p ...[text shortened]... emies. Without a decent sized cavalry force, your army's movements are much more predictable.
