Re: Sengoku Rance
He probably tried to expand to the west, instead of eastward. This is a big, BIG mistake, as there are a number of things working against you:
A) The Mori, to the west, will eventually declare war on you, because they are dicks like that.
B) The Takuga will then follow suit, because the Mori are dicks like that.
C) If you grow too large, the Takeda will declare war. If you expanded west, this almost certain, because the Takeda are dicks like that.
D) The Tokugawa will then follow suit, because hey, they're dicks too. Basically, the whole game is full of nations, the leaders of which are giant douchebags.
Since I've posted again, allow me to pose a question, if I may: What the fuck is up with the Takeda? I mean, seriously. Now, if I may, I would like to elaborate; those of you who do not wish to read a paragraph of bitching, you are free to leave.
So, I used the five points the game had decided to award me ("consolation prize" comes to mind) to grab the +3 Nation Power, as that is what caused me the most grief in my first run. First time through, I, too, expanded west, resulting in the situation I outlined at the beginning: four nations at war with me, because they are all cockbags (and fuck you for saying that's not a word, dictionary). So, restart, grab the +3 Power, and try again, this time expanding east. Took out Hara, Ashikaga, southern Tenshi province (I'll let them live, at least until Honnouji), Tokugawa, and Iwamaga (Imagawa?) all no problem. Declared war on the Takeda before they could wipe out the Hojo (they'd already taken that one province), and took their southern-most province.
Now, here is where I stopped, because I like my computer, and this is frustrating to the point where I want to break things (I'm easily frustrated). Trying to take their second province, got them down to the last territory, and oh, hey, who's that? Why, it's Something-kage (doesn't really matter) with 1100 cavalry. Who always goes first. And can one-shot any one of my units (though he seems to love crushing Nagahide's 1000 archers). Soooo...fuck. Fucking fuck. Fucking shitfucking fuck. That guy...I fucking hate him. At least, and this is the only good thing I can say about this goddamned fight, at the fucking least, the back row consists of three foot soldier units. Front row is that fucking asshat, and two other cavalry units, each ~350 strong, but at least those are the only three that can damage me. Course, that's all they need, but I'll take what I can get. Which, in this case, is assraped.
