Originally posted by no1marauderWell you see, No1, when l attack No1, it will be once - there will be no counter.
Running away is usually a "successful" tactic to avoid a battle. Considering the overwhelming advantage in production you and the Uesugi have, your extreme aversion to battle is hard to understand.
Originally posted by no1marauderBut did l build any ships elsewhere? If yes, then where?
Despite the loud talk of the Monk's proclamation, the "Yellow Fleet" retired from an approximately equal Kyushu Alliance naval force. And you didn't even bother to build any ships in the harbor you extorted from the Amako!

The Kyushu Alliance has spies everywhere; we will not be the ones who are suprised as your vassal-ally-lackey the Amako was. Why did you steal Kotto from the Amako if you didn't intend to build any ships there?
btw l am yet to "steal" anything, l have traded for or fought for all of my gains.
Originally posted by nook7The Amako gained nothing from you for ceding you their territory. Your "protection" doesn't seem worth much.

Well, I'm nonplussed--I expected a hard fight at Uwa, but it was a walkover--the Otomo forces vanished into thin air, it seems...
A small Ito flotilla was sunk in the Harima Sea. Again, I had prepared for a much mightier slaughter.
Originally posted by Bosse de NageIt would have been folly to fight a battle outnumbered about 2:1 in both CS and HPs. The small force of archers left behind fought well and took out 4 heavy infantry units of the Hokosawa.

Originally posted by no1marauderI thought you might have set a trap, with a ton of reinforcements sitting offshore. What about a sea fight? The odds are in your favour.

(If ronin spearmen are heavy infantry, what does that make Horo guards?)

I'd consider 2.8 HP's "heavy" infantry, though most of the infantry in this game has more hit points than in MD for example. It's a quibble anyway; we lost a bit more in Gold value but I didn't want to give up the position without a fight.
