The year is 1550. Spring.
Once, the clans of Japan cooperated, more or less peacefully, with the laws of the Emperor– and more importantly, with the laws of the Ashikaga Shogunate. In recent decades, however, the over-mighty clans have ceased to listen to the dictates and ramblings of the vestigal shogunate, and Japan's many warlords have given little more than lip service. Five years ago, the Ashikaga were driven from Kyoto entirely, reduced to exiled puppets… until now.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru has returned from exile, and his loyal supporters have bloodlessly taken back Kyoto. Yoshiteru wants the humble and gracious daimyo of Japan to know one thing above all– the Ashikaga hold the reins of power, and their word is law.
Some lords and samurai have fallen in line and obey the dictates of the Shogun. Others refuse to suspend their bids for power and prestige, continuing to war with their neighbors. And some, it is said, quietly and not in the Shogun's presence, want to take Kyoto for themselves, and seize control of Japan accordingly.
In the next fifty years, Japan's future will be decided. What part you play, how you will be remembered– that is up to you.

-DAIMYO NAME: Inaba Taro
-CLAN: Inaba, Not a Vassal
-BACKGROUND: Inaba Taro was born to the Inaba clan shortly after a fast decline brought on as a result of his grandfather's death at the hands of the Kasai clan's treachery. The Inaba are a clan largely based on honor and combat between clan heads, duels of honor. The previous clan leader, Taro's father, fell in one such battle during a time of rebuilding, leaving Taro as the leader in charge of returning the Inaba Clan to it's honor prior to his grandfather's death. Taro still believes in the Kasai's concepts of honorable combat and duels between clan heads, seeing them as one of few ways to earn redemption. Taro has little interest in uniting the provinces of Japan beyond expanding the influence of the Inaba should it be beneficial to the clan's honor.

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

DAIMYO NAME: Ryuo Takimasa
CLAN: off branch of the Takeda clan. Not a vassal.
BACKGROUND: Takimasa is called the unlikely by many of what's now his clan. Being the third son of a third son. He spent much of his childhood free of the duties associated with being an heir and was able to spend his life among the common soldiers instead of the stuffy court. From his time with the soldiers he learned primarily tactics, strategy, and fortification but most of all to appreciate them in a way few daimyo do leading to his philosophy of quality over quantity to protect as many lives as possible. Shortly after his sixteenth birthday he was called home to serve his father as heir when his two elder brothers were killed in a boating accident while on their way to trade with the Nanban. When he turned 19 his father passed away leaving the unlikely heir in charge of the province and the Ryuo ambitions of shogunate power and a peaceful Japan.

DAIMYO NAME: Yamato Katatake
CLAN: Tango, Vassal to Ashikaga
BACKGROUND: Yamato Ashikaga is the second son of the late Daimyo Yamato Toshimitsu. His older brother was Yamato Hicuckda, first in line to his father's fiefdom. Hicuckda was groomed to be a great leader of men, and could have been one of the greatest generals that Japan had ever seen, had he not choked to death on a riceball. Toshimitsu became increasingly reckless, and took part in the smallest of border clashes and other small conflicts, seeking an honorable death in battle. Unfortunately, he never found it. Instead, he bested his opponents, and ended up dying of pneumonia after giving a long speech in the rain. Katatake became Daimyo upon his father's death. Since his father's intention was to pass on his fiefdom to Hicuckda, Katatake was free to train in the arts. His passions laid mostly in poetry, and in Iaido: the art of the draw. Katatake loves the company of others, and delights in courtly life. However, he holds a few secrets, hidden behind his simple lifestyle. His most closely guarded secret is this: His brother did not choke on a riceball, and his father did not die of pneumonia.

DAIMYO NAME: Matsu Noritaka
CLAN: The Ashikaga Shogunate have returned to their place of power. Great splendor and power are theirs. Still the overmighty clans do not obey. The time has come once again for a new warlord to become Shogun, but who will be victorious. Matsu lands have always provided for our people, our enemies are many and envious, they threaten our borders and look for any weakness. The honor of a Matsu is never in question, unyielding in battle and out they stand firm as the mighty oak. Their skills in swordsmanship are unquestioned and few survive a duel with a Matsu samurai. Let other clans use paltry tricks and frivolous novelties, the Matsu shall forever embody the spirit of the sword. Bishamonten, the war god, Awakes once more, now is the time to defeat our enemies. All will bow to the Matsu clan, we wait no longer. Destiny Calls!
BACKGROUND: Matsu Noritaka was raised as every heir of the Matsu clan was raised, with sword in hand and training every day since he could speak. With the concept of honor and swordsmanship drilled into him from a young age he has grown into being an exemplary leader of the Matsu people. When he was 15 he fought and won an honor duel against his own brother who grew jealous of his status as heir and his betrothed. As with all duels of the Matsu clan it ended in the death of his brother. With the return of the Shogunate and the stirrings once more of war Noritaka has decided that he has had enough of the Matsu clan being forced to bow to the whim of the Ashikaga, the honorless dogs will bow to the Matsu, as will every clan.

You take a penalty to negotiating peace treaties, alliances and the like.

Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education. Kenshu traveled far and wide to the various schools of Japan, studying law, architecture, construction, and other practical skills. He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

BACKGROUND: Takimasa is called the unlikely by many of what's now his clan. Being the third son of a third son. He spent much of his childhood free of the duties associated with being an heir and was able to spend his life among the common soldiers instead of the stuffy court. From his time with the soldiers he learned primarily tactics, strategy, and fortification but most of all to appreciate them in a way few daimyo do leading to his philosophy of quality over quantity to protect as many lives as possible. Shortly after his sixteenth birthday he was called home to serve his father as heir when his two elder brothers were killed in a boating accident while on their way to trade with the Nanban. When he turned 19 his father passed away leaving the unlikely heir in charge of the province and the Ryuo ambitions of shogunate power and a peaceful Japan.

Honor: 4

Family: An infant son: Yamato Uchikata
Abilities: Poet, Iajutsu, Commander, Forced Marching
Agents: Doji Matayuma, Courtier
Traits: [Behind Paper Walls…] - You are a darling of the court, and are favored for your steadfast vassalage to the Ashikaga Shogunate. You gain a bonus to diplomatic and courtier actions, and the Ashikaga's favor gives you much leeway in your doings. However, if anyone happens to discover the well-buried truth of Katatake's deeds and ambitions, it would surely be ruinous. And, after all, it is not the best time to be an utterly loyal vassal to the Ashikaga…
Wow, I'm fucking out of it. Sorry, Jaundice.
1. Doji Matayuma will be a useful tool in the realization of my ambitions. I shall send him to Kyoto so that he can build a network of allies and supporters in the court of the Shogun. If I have enough supporters, I will have even more leeway in my actions. [Send Doji Matayuma to Kyoto to build up my influence there]
2. My army is not large, but it shall be the finest in all of Nippon. The Ashigaru and Cavalry will drill frequently, and at unexpected times, so that they can be ready to kill at a moment's notice. My Samurai will all be required to practice personal combat and tactical command skills for a good portion of their day, so that they can be ready for minor command positions. I may earn the temporary disdain of my men, but they will respect me after they crush my enemies under their boots. [Drill my army in standard tactical movements]
3. I, too, must train if I am to succeed in my quest for power and greatness. As I am already a competent swordsman, my training for the near future will consist of tactical and strategic training. Under my command, my armies will be able to outmaneuver the enemy at every turn, and surround them when my foes tire of marching. I will familiarize myself with the effects of terrain on troop maneuverability, and devise a plan which will allow us to use our strategic agility to great effect. [Train myself in the art of war]
As a new age dawns
I wage war for the Shogun
My goals remembered
How did I fuck up the dice so badly?

DAIMYO NAME: Matsu Noritaka
CLAN: The Ashikaga Shogunate have returned to their place of power. Great splendor and power are theirs. Still the overmighty clans do not obey. The time has come once again for a new warlord to become Shogun, but who will be victorious. Matsu lands have always provided for our people, our enemies are many and envious, they threaten our borders and look for any weakness. The honor of a Matsu is never in question, unyielding in battle and out they stand firm as the mighty oak. Their skills in swordsmanship are unquestioned and few survive a duel with a Matsu samurai. Let other clans use paltry tricks and frivolous novelties, the Matsu shall forever embody the spirit of the sword. Bishamonten, the war god, Awakes once more, now is the time to defeat our enemies. All will bow to the Matsu clan, we wait no longer. Destiny Calls!
BACKGROUND: Matsu Noritaka was raised as every heir of the Matsu clan was raised, with sword in hand and training every day since he could speak. With the concept of honor and swordsmanship drilled into him from a young age he has grown into being an exemplary leader of the Matsu people. When he was 15 he fought and won an honor duel against his own brother who grew jealous of his status as heir and his betrothed. As with all duels of the Matsu clan it ended in the death of his brother. With the return of the Shogunate and the stirrings once more of war Noritaka has decided that he has had enough of the Matsu clan being forced to bow to the whim of the Ashikaga, the honorless dogs will bow to the Matsu, as will every clan.

2. In addition to the rice fields we must also ensure out supply of fish is sufficient, invest in the ports and fishing villages in our province
3. A Matsu samurai is worth 10 of another clan's but it is the Ashigaru that win wars, train an additional force of Ashigaru spears that we may defeat our enemies.

-DAIMYO NAME: Inaba Taro
-CLAN: Inaba, Not a Vassal
-BACKGROUND: Inaba Taro was born to the Inaba clan shortly after a fast decline brought on as a result of his grandfather's death at the hands of the Kasai clan's treachery. The Inaba are a clan largely based on honor and combat between clan heads, duels of honor. The previous clan leader, Taro's father, fell in one such battle during a time of rebuilding, leaving Taro as the leader in charge of returning the Inaba Clan to it's honor prior to his grandfather's death. Taro still believes in the Kasai's concepts of honorable combat and duels between clan heads, seeing them as one of few ways to earn redemption. Taro has little interest in uniting the provinces of Japan beyond expanding the influence of the Inaba should it be beneficial to the clan's honor.

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

1. The Island of Sado, isolated, rich in arable land and much iron and other metals in the hills. Truly, this could be the next great home our of clan. First, we need a source or revenue, and that comes from the peasants. To get as much money from them as possible, they have to make money first. The simplest trade in Japan is farming, and so shall the peasants take up the ancient practice. It is the foundation of all modern economics, aside from the harvesting of raw resources. The whole not starving thing is a added bonus.
2/3. Speaking of Harvesting natural resources, I want men scouting the hills and forest to give me a full report on the mineral wealth of the island. We will need two things to restore our clan to greatness, iron, and gold.

When he turned 19 his father passed away leaving the unlikely heir in charge of the province and the Ryuo ambitions of shogunate power and a peaceful Japan.

Daimyo Name: Yamato Katatake
Clan: Yamato, Vassal to Ashikaga
Domains: Yamato, Level 2
Honor: 4
Forces: 1265 Total - General's Bodyguard, 20 Yari Cavalry, 100 Yari Samurai, 50 Bow Samurai, 200 Ashigaru Spears
Family: An infant son: Yamato Uchikata
Abilities: Poet, Iajutsu, Commander, Forced Marching
Agents: Doji Matayuma, Courtier
Traits: [Behind Paper Walls…] - You are a darling of the court, and are favored for your steadfast vassalage to the Ashikaga Shogunate. You gain a bonus to diplomatic and courtier actions, and the Ashikaga's favor gives you much leeway in your doings. However, if anyone happens to discover the well-buried truth of Katatake's deeds and ambitions, it would surely be ruinous. And, after all, it is not the best time to be an utterly loyal vassal to the Ashikaga…
1. Doji can be left to his own devices now. When he returns, all I need to know is who my new allies are, and what they expect from me. Now that I don't need to micromanage our diplomacy with Kyoto as much, I can dedicate my time to other endeavors. Most other clans have been improving their infrastructure, particularly their rice fields. I see no reason why the Yamato should not outstrip them in every way! We shall begin the improvements of the rice paddies. [Improve Rice Paddies]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8a3gjt_Ar0
2. I have devised a new method of offensive doctrine. It will require excellent morale and constant drilling, but it should put our clan far ahead of the others militarily.
Yari Ashigaru will make up a battle line, which will be dotted with half of the available Yari Samurai, to boost the morale of the men. On their flanks will ride the Yari Cavalry. Behind the line will be the remainder of the Yari Samurai, and all bowmen, in addition to my unit.
The Yari will form lines four men deep. The front row will present their spears forwards, while the rear two rows will raise their spears partially, prepared to replenish the line once the front row tires. After an allotted amount of time, perhaps ten minutes, the front row will shift to the back, and the other three rows will move to the front. This will ensure that troops in the front row are fresh. The front Yari will be held at shoulder level, parallel to the ground when confronting footmen, and be embedded in the ground when being charged by cavalry. The form of movement for the army will be a constant push forward at a sustainable pace, intimidating the enemy, not giving them time to think, and not tiring our men out excessively.
Meanwhile, Archers will advance, in units of ten, directly behind the Yari lines, and will fire at targets chosen by their unit commanders, or by myself, every seven paces, before they nock another arrow, and present themselves flush with the rear line of the Yari, repeating the process.
Cavalry will lag behind slightly, in two squares, proportional in size to the number of cavalry available. Their objective is to harass any force who threatens our flanks by splitting into two units, and attacking their flanks and weak points in their line, before retreating to a safe distance, and repeating.
The other half of the Yari Samurai will remain in the rear, with myself and my bodyguard, as a second to last line of defense of my glorious person. My last line of defense is my sword.
In this manner of steady advancement, we will drive the enemy from the field, and impale those who stay behind. [Continue to practice my Strategist ability]
3. For the above to work, I will need two things: More men of each sort, and the unwavering confidence in those under me in their martial acumen, and my tactical brilliance. I will sort out the latter soon, but for now, I want to focus on recruiting more Yari Ashigaru. [Recruit Yari Ashigaru]

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

DAIMYO NAME: Oinishi Kenshu
CLAN: Oinishi of Bungo, Sister branch of the Konishi Clan of Higo
BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education. Kenshu traveled far and wide to the various schools of Japan, studying law, architecture, construction, and other practical skills. He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

You take a penalty to negotiating peace treaties, alliances and the like.

A lord is the head of the body of his clan. If the arm rebels, does it make sense to cut it off? We shall go."
My soldiers will stand by to protect me, but I will go out and gather the peasants together to hear their plea's in person.
Yes, they want more rice to feed their families. I tell them they shall have more rice, but I cannot make rice from the air any more than they. We must work together to increase our rice fields so that they can get more rice.
It is not that far off from deal making to be honest. Perhaps my skills as a [Merchant Lord] or as a [Law Scholar] will gift me with the tongue to suade them.
I will do my best to speak sincerely to village leaders, and even plan with them on improvements to the rice fields. I have studied hard to be an [Architect] after all, and even the simplest of rice fields requires planning.

This makes it easier for you to recruit Matchlocks, do trade with foreign powers, and possibly even recruit foreign warriors to fight by your side. However, due to having utterly turned your back on the old ways, you are permanently capped at 1 honor and diplomacy with non-Christian clans is exceedingly difficult. The Nanban also expect compensation for their services…

3 In understanding some history outside of Japan I look at the Crusades and how in fighting for the Pope he forgave their sins or in local terms relieved them of bad karma. I will incorporate this idea into the state, to fight for your lord who fights for the Lord will open a path to redemption. This should improve recruitment, be an additional incentive to be Christian especially to intellectuals who recognize the potential of new ideas.

-DAIMYO NAME: Inaba Taro
-CLAN: Inaba, Not a Vassal
-BACKGROUND: Inaba Taro was born to the Inaba clan shortly after a fast decline brought on as a result of his grandfather's death at the hands of the Kasai clan's treachery. The Inaba are a clan largely based on honor and combat between clan heads, duels of honor. The previous clan leader, Taro's father, fell in one such battle during a time of rebuilding, leaving Taro as the leader in charge of returning the Inaba Clan to it's honor prior to his grandfather's death. Taro still believes in the Kasai's concepts of honorable combat and duels between clan heads, seeing them as one of few ways to earn redemption. Taro has little interest in uniting the provinces of Japan beyond expanding the influence of the Inaba should it be beneficial to the clan's honor.

DAIMYO NAME: Matsu Noritaka
CLAN: The Ashikaga Shogunate have returned to their place of power. Great splendor and power are theirs. Still the overmighty clans do not obey. The time has come once again for a new warlord to become Shogun, but who will be victorious. Matsu lands have always provided for our people, our enemies are many and envious, they threaten our borders and look for any weakness. The honor of a Matsu is never in question, unyielding in battle and out they stand firm as the mighty oak. Their skills in swordsmanship are unquestioned and few survive a duel with a Matsu samurai. Let other clans use paltry tricks and frivolous novelties, the Matsu shall forever embody the spirit of the sword. Bishamonten, the war god, Awakes once more, now is the time to defeat our enemies. All will bow to the Matsu clan, we wait no longer. Destiny Calls!
BACKGROUND: Matsu Noritaka was raised as every heir of the Matsu clan was raised, with sword in hand and training every day since he could speak. With the concept of honor and swordsmanship drilled into him from a young age he has grown into being an exemplary leader of the Matsu people. When he was 15 he fought and won an honor duel against his own brother who grew jealous of his status as heir and his betrothed. As with all duels of the Matsu clan it ended in the death of his brother. With the return of the Shogunate and the stirrings once more of war Noritaka has decided that he has had enough of the Matsu clan being forced to bow to the whim of the Ashikaga, the honorless dogs will bow to the Matsu, as will every clan.

DAIMYO NAME: Ryuo Takimasa
CLAN: off branch of the Takeda clan. Not a vassal.
BACKGROUND: Takimasa is called the unlikely by many of what's now his clan. Being the third son of a third son. He spent much of his childhood free of the duties associated with being an heir and was able to spend his life among the common soldiers instead of the stuffy court. From his time with the soldiers he learned primarily tactics, strategy, and fortification but most of all to appreciate them in a way few daimyo do leading to his philosophy of quality over quantity to protect as many lives as possible. Shortly after his sixteenth birthday he was called home to serve his father as heir when his two elder brothers were killed in a boating accident while on their way to trade with the Nanban. When he turned 19 his father passed away leaving the unlikely heir in charge of the province and the Ryuo ambitions of shogunate power and a peaceful Japan.

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education.

He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

-DAIMYO NAME: Inaba Taro
-CLAN: Inaba, Not a Vassal
-BACKGROUND: Inaba Taro was born to the Inaba clan shortly after a fast decline brought on as a result of his grandfather's death at the hands of the Kasai clan's treachery. The Inaba are a clan largely based on honor and combat between clan heads, duels of honor. The previous clan leader, Taro's father, fell in one such battle during a time of rebuilding, leaving Taro as the leader in charge of returning the Inaba Clan to it's honor prior to his grandfather's death. Taro still believes in the Kasai's concepts of honorable combat and duels between clan heads, seeing them as one of few ways to earn redemption. Taro has little interest in uniting the provinces of Japan beyond expanding the influence of the Inaba should it be beneficial to the clan's honor.

KASAI'S FORCES: 1675 TOTAL - General's Bodyguard, 30 Yari Cavalry, 600 Ashigaru Spears, 600 Ashigaru Bows. NUMERICAL ADVANTAGE, SURPRISE ADVANTAGE
EDO FORCES: 1915 TOTAL - General's Bodyguard, 30 Yari Cavalry, 100 Katana Samurai, 100 Yari Samurai, 300 Ashigaru Spears, 300 Ashigaru Bows. TAKEN BY SURPRISE, UNPREPARED FOR NIGHT COMBAT, FORCE ADVANTAGE: MINOR
85 vs -14
Kasai's warriors assault the city while it still slumbers, after having sent in their trusted ninja to sabotage the gates and kill the guardsmen.
The plan goes off without a hitch– while the Edo had known that Kasai's forces were in the province, they had absolutely not expected them to raid their capital so soon and so violently. The sentries and bowmen are barely able to get to the walls before said walls are swarmed– from behind– by a host of Ashigaru calling for blood. Sleepy and shocked, they are slaughtered in great numbers.
The main fighting force of the Edo troops, their Samurai, are slow to take the field, and it is the Ashigaru, trickling in piecemeal, that take the brunt of the first fighting, outnumbered and outmaneuvered in the city's tight streets and corridors. Barracks are torched with soldiers still in them, and Edo troops are boxed into alleyways and crushed underfoot if they are not skewered on pincer spearwalls first. Kasai's men rape and plunder as they go door to door, taking what they can carry and destroying much of what they can't.
Kasai leads his cavalry contingent up to the high terrace where the Tenshu is held, only to be met with a weak screen of arrows and a firmly closed door. The Edo samurai and the few surviving Ashigaru have made a fine little nest for themselves at the top of the castle, where, surely, the greatest of the plunder can be found…
KASAI: Lose 130 Ashigaru Spears. Lose 5 Yari Cavalry
EDO: Lose 270 Ashigaru Spears. Lose 281 Ashigaru Bows. Lose 20 Katana Samurai. Lose 43 Yari Samurai.
You can either press on with the attack, trying to take the Tenshu, or retreat with what loot you've gotten. While assaulting the Tenshu will net you more loot and crush the Edo army here, rest assured that they will fight to the death.

Kasai's warriors, eager for more blood, begin scaling the walls and trying to break down the gate, to little effects. Spears gouge out throats, pierce brains and take off hands on their way up, and not a single man makes it onto the Tenshu. Kasai finds that rallying the men to his side is exceedingly hard– with their first taste of plunder and blood, the men are more eager to pillage and plunder than to help bust down the gate. At a loss for options, Kasai brings his sword down, and his bowmen begin firing into the arrow-slits of the walls. When the spearmen retreat, the archers shift their fire to arc into the castle's courtyard. A few men are lost to the archers in the tenshu, who are remarkably difficult to hit.
This bloody stalemate lasts for almost half an hour before Kasai rallies enough men to begin busting down the gate in earnest, lighting it ablaze for good measure. But as the gate goes up, so, too, does the Tenshu, and the raiders swarm into the courtyard to see no one awaiting them but a mass of corpses, all having committed seppuku. The General's body is nowhere to be found… perhaps he died in the conflagration…

One of your samurai reaches for his sword, and Yamato swiftly rams the tip of his spear through the man's forehead.

Daimyo Name: Yamato Katatake
Clan: Yamato, Vassal to Ashikaga
Domains: Yamato, Level 2
Honor: 4
Forces: 1415 Total - General's Bodyguard, 20 Yari Cavalry, 85 Yari Samurai, 50 Bow Samurai, 100 Ashigaru Spears
Family: An infant son: Yamato Uchikata
Abilities: Poet, Iajutsu, Commander, Forced Marching, [Strategist 3/10]
Agents: Doji Matayuma, Courtier
Traits: [Behind Paper Walls…] - You are a darling of the court, and are favored for your steadfast vassalage to the Ashikaga Shogunate. You gain a bonus to diplomatic and courtier actions, and the Ashikaga's favor gives you much leeway in your doings. However, if anyone happens to discover the well-buried truth of Katatake's deeds and ambitions, it would surely be ruinous. And, after all, it is not the best time to be an utterly loyal vassal to the Ashikaga…
Infrastructure: Rice Paddies
How does that affect my force number? The one which was 1415?
1/2/3. Does Ichigo think that this will stand? That he will get away with this? I will crush his rebellion, and inflict such pain upon his person that he will beg for death. Every day, he will be taken apart and put back together. Every year that he is in my captivity, a member of his family will be brought before him, and will be tortured and slaughtered. He will be forced to eat the flesh of his own for this transgression!
Rally the men! I want them together before their assignments. "I suppose you know why I have called you here. There are men who have rebelled against myself and the Shogun in these lands. You may have called these men your brothers, your comrades, your friends. However, I tell you now what we have discovered in these past few hours. These are not your brethren! They are honorless and cowardly insects, who not only question the purpose of their orders, and who are not merely content with defying their instructions, but whose only desires are wanton destruction and rebellion. They bring dishonor to their clan and to their families, and for this kind of dishonor, there is only one cure: steel. Our objectives are as follows:
One: To capture or kill every person involved in this revolt. This number is not limited to combatants, but also includes those who supply, shelter, or aid them in any way.
Two: To take alive the rebel leader known as Ichigo, as well as all of his living relatives, namely, his living parents, grandparents, children, siblings, siblings-in law, cousins, aunts, and uncles.
Mighty warriors, this will not be easy. Those who you will be facing may have training equal in quality to your own, but under my leadership, you will be shown victory. Now follow me, and we will crush these rebels under our heel!"
The battle doctrine will need to be slightly tweaked for the upcoming engagements. We cannot destroy our own infrastructure, nor can we bring death to our own citizenry. We also lack a large number of spearmen. Our tactics will need to emphasize our ranged and cavalry superiority. The cavalry will deploy in a screening force, scouting out enemy positions and reporting back to me. While the cavalry observe, distract, and harass, the archers and remainder of our spears will advance in groups on the enemy position. Our superior maneuverability will allow us to flank our enemies. I will personally oversee the battle from a distance, protected by my bodyguard, and will use my Gunbai war fan to send orders to my commanders if I need to. We will obtain our information about the locations of the rebels from loyal villagers, and captured rebels. I hope to have this rebellion suppressed in a very brief amount of time.
[Forced Marching] [Commander]

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

DAIMYO NAME: Oinishi Kenshu
CLAN: Oinishi of Bungo, Sister branch of the Konishi Clan of Higo
BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education. Kenshu traveled far and wide to the various schools of Japan, studying law, architecture, construction, and other practical skills. He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

Shortly after his sixteenth birthday he was called home to serve his father as heir when his two elder brothers were killed in a boating accident while on their way to trade with the Nanban.

-CLAN: Inaba, Not a Vassal
-BACKGROUND: Inaba Taro was born to the Inaba clan shortly after a fast decline brought on as a result of his grandfather's death at the hands of the Kasai clan's treachery. The Inaba are a clan largely based on honor and combat between clan heads, duels of honor. The previous clan leader, Taro's father, fell in one such battle during a time of rebuilding, leaving Taro as the leader in charge of returning the Inaba Clan to it's honor prior to his grandfather's death. Taro still believes in the Kasai's concepts of honorable combat and duels between clan heads, seeing them as one of few ways to earn redemption. Taro has little interest in uniting the provinces of Japan beyond expanding the influence of the Inaba should it be beneficial to the clan's honor.

DAIMYO NAME: Matsu Noritaka

The time has come once again for a new warlord to become Shogun, but who will be victorious. Matsu lands have always provided for our people, our enemies are many and envious, they threaten our borders and look for any weakness. The honor of a Matsu is never in question, unyielding in battle and out they stand firm as the mighty oak. Their skills in swordsmanship are unquestioned and few survive a duel with a Matsu samurai. Let other clans use paltry tricks and frivolous novelties, the Matsu shall forever embody the spirit of the sword. Bishamonten, the war god, Awakes once more, now is the time to defeat our enemies. All will bow to the Matsu clan, we wait no longer. Destiny Calls!

With the concept of honor and swordsmanship drilled into him from a young age he has grown into being an exemplary leader of the Matsu people. When he was 15 he fought and won an honor duel against his own brother who grew jealous of his status as heir and his betrothed. As with all duels of the Matsu clan it ended in the death of his brother. With the return of the Shogunate and the stirrings once more of war Noritaka has decided that he has had enough of the Matsu clan being forced to bow to the whim of the Ashikaga, the honorless dogs will bow to the Matsu, as will every clan.

RYUO TAKIMASA VS IKKO IKKI REBELS, BATTLE OF ECHIZEN, 1551
TAKIMASA'S FORCES: TOTAL 1693 - General's Bodyguard, 50 Sword Cavalry, 20 Bow Cavalry, 20 Yari Cavalry, 50 Yari Samurai, 60 Bow Ashigaru. CAVALRY ADVANTAGE: OVERWHELMING, FORCE ADVANTAGE: MINOR, MISSILE ADVANTAGE: MINOR
IKKO-IKKI FORCES: 1400 TOTAL: 80 Naginata Sohei, 100 Bow Ashigaru, 100 Ashigaru Spears
98 vs 77
What the Ryuo lack in numbers, they make up for in cunning and maneuverability. At Takimasa's order, the bowmen dip their arrows, light them ablaze, and send them hurtling into the village from afar.
It doesn't take long until the place is completely set ablaze, and the Ikko Ikki, clearly expecting more of a stand-up fight from the samurai forces, are forced to make a hasty retreat out of the rear of the village, leading their shaken and burned spearmen behind them.
Before they can organize into proper ranks, cavalry smashes into their sides and cuts clean through, leaving the ashigaru disoriented and further demoralized. The light rain of arrows that follow, screening the scrambling ashigaru that haven't been trampled, cleaved or skewered, puts the peasants into full retreat.
The monks are less frightened– they and the most zealous core of ashigaru swiftly regroup and meet the next cavalry charge head-on, spears and polearms bared. They set off on an equine killing spree, but before they can do too much damage they are hammered in the rear, and in the back, and, swamped by cavalry, are cut down monk by monk. The Ikko-Ikki die to a man, while a small clutch of peasants throws down their arms and kowtows in surrender…
TAKIMASA: Lose 8 Sword Cavalry. Lose 3 Yari Cavalry. You have 30 Ashigaru captives.

1/2/3. The Rebels are stricken by how swiftly you mobilize. You scour your land for any sign of resistance, and you find it– the turncoats are hiding out in a small patch of woodland.
Outnumbering them, even now, you simply wash over them in a bloody tide, after screening them with arrows, swamping them down and butchering them to a man. It's not pretty, but it -is- necessary.
Of course, there had to be a snag. Ichigo's body was not found in the carnage… and the force was smaller than expected. Where could the turncoat have gone, of course? You'll find soon enough, as you begin interrogating and combing over every village in your domain, reminding those who may have… -forgotten-, about who rules these lands.
As you search for Ichigo and the last remaining rebels, Doji returns from court just as the winter winds abate and the snow starts to melt.

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

DAIMYO NAME: Oinishi Kenshu
CLAN: Oinishi of Bungo, Sister branch of the Konishi Clan of Higo
BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education. Kenshu traveled far and wide to the various schools of Japan, studying law, architecture, construction, and other practical skills. He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

-CLAN: Inaba, Not a Vassal
-BACKGROUND: Inaba Taro was born to the Inaba clan shortly after a fast decline brought on as a result of his grandfather's death at the hands of the Kasai clan's treachery. The Inaba are a clan largely based on honor and combat between clan heads, duels of honor. The previous clan leader, Taro's father, fell in one such battle during a time of rebuilding, leaving Taro as the leader in charge of returning the Inaba Clan to it's honor prior to his grandfather's death. Taro still believes in the Kasai's concepts of honorable combat and duels between clan heads, seeing them as one of few ways to earn redemption. Taro has little interest in uniting the provinces of Japan beyond expanding the influence of the Inaba should it be beneficial to the clan's honor.

From his time with the soldiers he learned primarily tactics, strategy, and fortification but most of all to appreciate them in a way few daimyo do leading to his philosophy of quality over quantity to protect as many lives as possible. Shortly after his sixteenth birthday he was called home to serve his father as heir when his two elder brothers were killed in a boating accident while on their way to trade with the Nanban. When he turned 19 his father passed away leaving the unlikely heir in charge of the province and the Ryuo ambitions of shogunate power and a peaceful Japan.

Summer replaces spring, and news circulates through the courts. With the end of Winter, the Otomo have taken Chikugo, the Mori have occupied Suo province, and the Date have conquered their Hatakeyama cousins and taken the province of Dewa. Meanwhile, a Takeda Army has utterly broken the back of the Kiso in Southern Shinano.
The Shogun is curiously quiet on the subject of these power grabs.

>DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
>CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
>BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

-DAIMYO NAME: Inaba Taro
-CLAN: Inaba, Not a Vassal
-BACKGROUND: Inaba Taro was born to the Inaba clan shortly after a fast decline brought on as a result of his grandfather's death at the hands of the Kasai clan's treachery. The Inaba are a clan largely based on honor and combat between clan heads, duels of honor. The previous clan leader, Taro's father, fell in one such battle during a time of rebuilding, leaving Taro as the leader in charge of returning the Inaba Clan to it's honor prior to his grandfather's death. Taro still believes in the Kasai's concepts of honorable combat and duels between clan heads, seeing them as one of few ways to earn redemption. Taro has little interest in uniting the provinces of Japan beyond expanding the influence of the Inaba should it be beneficial to the clan's honor.

3. The frontier is already set and their forces are likely spread thin thanks to the Amako's attack. I suppose the best tactic would be to send forth 50 Boy Samurai, 50 Yari Samurai, and 70 Katana Samurai to attack the Iwami province from a direction other than the Amako's. With any luck, we can press through before the Amako and I may press the head of the Iwami to have the dual of honor I previously requested. The Amako have simply gained the attention of the Iwami troops for us.

2. Perhaps my wroth is my weakness. If I continue to blunder around the provinces in a rage, then the rebel leader will have all of the time he needs to move himself. However, I can make my weakness his, simply by knowing myself. Ichigo is clearly quick to anger, or else he would not have taken such a suicidal action as open rebellion. What, then, would infuriate him? He has abandoned his family to my forces. Perhaps he thinks that I won't care about them. I've an idea. One of my men will be sent into the dungeons, to find a thief or some other petty criminal. The criminal will be offered a full pardon, but only if they allow us to take one of their fingers. After we have a finger, we can send a rider North to Ichigo's new hiding place, where he will deliver a package containing the finger and a note, telling him that the finger belongs to his father, or uncle, or brother, or son, or whatever. It will go on to instruct him to turn himself in to prevent further harm to his kin. He will either turn himself in, or sally south in wroth. Then, I can face him. [Goad Ichigo into attacking or surrendering by sending him a finger and then claiming it is from a family member]
3. My men and I will begin marching North. While we are on the move, our cavalry will constantly patrol for spotters and possible spies, and will prevent them from reporting our position to their master. By the time Ichigo attacks, we will already be in position to crush his headstrong assault. [Begin moving my army North] [Forced Marching]

In addition, I shall welcome Ichigo's family warmly, ensuring that they have everything they need to be comfortable during their stay. I think that my former idea to bring them harm was misguided, spur of the moment thinking. They will, of course, be under guard, and will not be allowed in areas of import to clan security. I shall make it known to them that their relative has brought shame on his clan, his family, and himself through his actions, and that rebellion against his liege lord is one of the most terrible crimes that he could commit. He will, however, be afforded a fair trial, over which I will preside. He will be able to make his case, and people can come to his defense. I will listen to his argument, and weigh it against the gravity of his transgression, before passing a sentence.
I will not tell them that his sentence will probably be a choice between honor-saving seppuku, and dishonorable execution.

Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed.

CLAN: off branch of the Takeda clan. Not a vassal.
BACKGROUND: Takimasa is called the unlikely by many of what's now his clan. Being the third son of a third son. He spent much of his childhood free of the duties associated with being an heir and was able to spend his life among the common soldiers instead of the stuffy court. From his time with the soldiers he learned primarily tactics, strategy, and fortification but most of all to appreciate them in a way few daimyo do leading to his philosophy of quality over quantity to protect as many lives as possible. Shortly after his sixteenth birthday he was called home to serve his father as heir when his two elder brothers were killed in a boating accident while on their way to trade with the Nanban. When he turned 19 his father passed away leaving the unlikely heir in charge of the province and the Ryuo ambitions of shogunate power and a peaceful Japan.

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

1/2/3. How did he do this so quickly? He was given so little time before we went after him. He's obviously rallied the village, and marched on the capital while my force was away. Ichigo probably has rescued his family (who will undoubtedly speak of my mercy in my dealings with them, and my plan for a fair trial.) and imprisoned Uchikata. The mystery is how they have passed us. I have a plan. He wants me to return home with all haste, and attempt to rescue my son and end his rebellion. Were I a rasher man, I would have done so. However, it is very possible that he has simply set up an ambush along the way, perhaps not attacking my fortress at all. The best trackers in the army will seek out his group's prints. We will advance deliberately and cautiously, watching the surrounding lands for an ambush. If the tracks lead straight home, then that is where we will go. If they do not, then we will send out stealthy scouts, who will report on their location. Once we know where they lie in wait for us, we will surround them, and attack, as swift as the wind.

HOTOKISA;S FORCES: Total 770 - Iwami Hotokisa, 50 Bow Samurai, 50 Katana Samurai, 200 Ashigaru Spears, 70 Ashigaru Bows. MISSILE ADVANTAGE: MINOR. NUMERICAL ADVANTAGE: HEAVY. TAKEN BY SURPRISE.
17 vs 63
Taro leads his men through the pass and charges the mountain village ahead at the first sign of enemy force. As his men rush in, it's quickly revealed that there were more men than anticipated: columns of ashigaru swarm around the core group of samurai, and when the two armies meet on the wind-swept pass, said ashigaru move to flank the invaders.
The battle is loose and messy, swords and spears glinting in the crisp autumn sun, leaves lazily drifting by as man slaughters man. Taro's forces are better disciplined and better prepared, to be sure, but the Iwami defenders swamp them, bringing down samurai after samurai with massed spearpoints and arrow volleys.
Gritting his teeth, Taro wipes his blade clean on his sleeve before sheathing his sword and wheeling his bodyguard about, out of the thick of combat, flanking past the now engaged Ashigaru to make a beeline for the Iwami general– who hangs at the back of his forces, watching contentedly.
When the fearsome duelist charges, the boy panics and wheels away, heading right into the thick of it as unit after unit of samurai break off to defend their lord.
Taro takes advantage of the slightly elevated terrain to hold his tessen high as he pulls back in kind, and a horn blows: retreat. His threat on the younger brother's life buys him the time he needs to pull his men back.

It is now Winter, and the courts could not have come at a better time: the Takeda and the Useugi are almost to blows in conflict over the greater Shinano region! News of Oda-Tokugawa tensions and the Shimazu occupation of Osumi both take a backseat to the speculation and rumors about which clan will strike first, the Uesugi or the Takeda, for both are mighty in their own right and they both appear to be ignoring the Shogun's call for peace!

BACKGROUND: Kasai Daiki was born in an insignificant village long destroyed in a past war which helped shape him into the man he is today. Destitute and starving would be the simple ways to describe his childhood as he struggled to stay alive at the bottom of society. Daiki was not content to live a life of a beggar and eventually joined a mercenary group fighting in the many petty conflicts that littered Japan. He eventually rose through a combination of force of personality and combat skill to become leader of the little company. He however had different ideas on the work they should do and in no time set himself up as a petty warlord in the Hitachi Province.

CLAN: off branch of the Takeda clan. Not a vassal.
BACKGROUND: Takimasa is called the unlikely by many of what's now his clan. Being the third son of a third son. He spent much of his childhood free of the duties associated with being an heir and was able to spend his life among the common soldiers instead of the stuffy court. From his time with the soldiers he learned primarily tactics, strategy, and fortification but most of all to appreciate them in a way few daimyo do leading to his philosophy of quality over quantity to protect as many lives as possible. Shortly after his sixteenth birthday he was called home to serve his father as heir when his two elder brothers were killed in a boating accident while on their way to trade with the Nanban.

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

Dunno how you are playing it jaundice but just a for the record thing.
Euro Gunsmiths were in no way shape or form in contact with japan for another hundred+ years. The trade was usually done by portugese merchants living in macau after trading with portugese living in south africa who traded with portugese merchants in portugal who bought the weapons from the merchant guild. Short of him sailing to portugal there isn't a hisorically accurate way to hire a euro gunsmith. Though he could take in a chinese exile I don't remember the exact details but it was around this time that some fight in china happened and a bunch of chinese gunsmiths fled to Japan (alot ended up being found and hired by nobunaga).
Also this is before 1557 so pre-macau colony meaning trade with europeans was essentially nil. Like a ship every couple years nil and even then it was 90% chinese textiles that the japs weren't usually allowed to trade for due the chinese emperor banning trade with the japs because wako pirates.

INABA TARO VERSUS IWAMI HOTOKISA, SECOND BATTLE OF THE IWAMI-AKI PASS, EARLY WINTER, 1551
TARO'S FORCES: Total 488 - Inaba Taro, 26 Bow Samurai, 20 Yari Samurai, 40 Katana Samurai. MORALE: STEADY. AMBUSH ADVANTAGE
HOTOKISA'S FORCES: Total 690 - Iwami Hotokisa, 47 Bow Samurai, 40 Katana Samurai, 190 Ashigaru Spears, 50 Ashigaru Bows. FORCE ADVANTAGE: MODERATE. MISSILE ADVANTAGE: MAJOR. NUMERICAL ADVANTAGE: MAJOR. MORALE: GOOD
81 versus 31
Dauntless, Inaba leads his men back through the mountain pass, just before the first snowfall of the season. Through bitter winds, rough terrain, and cramped woods they creep closer and closer down the pass and towards the Iwami rear-camp, where Hotokisa's men sit revelling in their victory over the invaders.
Inaba leads his men close– almost too close– and stops when he sees Hotokisa swagger out of his war tent, tossing bottles of sake to his men.
Now is the time to strike.
Inaba leads his forces forward, and announces his presence with a single, piercing blow of the horn. The Iwami defenders scramble to their feet as a solid block of samurai begin swarming through their camp, flaming arrows setting alight the tents and pavillions that were set up the hours before.
Inaba rides at the head of his host, carving through Hotokisa's bodyguards like the wind cuts through the mountains, driving his horse onward to leap over an ashigaru retainer and land squarely in the path of the retreating Hotokisa. Taro narrows his eyes– he knows that if he doesn't strike down their leadership, here and now, his significantly smaller force stands little chance once the element of surprise is lost. Hotokisa's retainers and samurai, curiously enough, just form a circle around the two men, giving their lord an expectant look.
Chin shaking, Hotokisa clasps his blade and settles into a shaky Iaijutsu stance, saying nothing– surely, he does not trust his mouth enough to open it, lest fearful bile spill out instead of words!

The two men stare each other down as the sounds of battle rage all around them. Burning linens and paper, screaming horses, the gruesome noise of steel-in-flesh. Hotokisa's hand shook as it rested, palm-up, on his blade– this was, clearly, his first real-steel duel.
And it would be his last.
Taro moved forward first, whipping his sword from its sheath in a blur of motion. Hotokisa did the same, but it was without any of Taro's honed skill or ice-cold precision. As the blade was halfway out of its scabbard, Taro's katana bit deep into Hotokisa's neck, carving through artery and windpipe and leaving a neat trail of blood through the air.
Iwami Hotokisa's rent neck gave a great spout of blood, staining the cold earth crimson, and one gurgling, foggy, bloody breath came from his lungs as he fell forward, on his way to his ancestors in due time.
Inaba settled his blade into a proper attacking stance as Hotokisa's retainers made to take up their arms and defend their lord, when his own bodyguard smashed into the backs of the spectators, hacking and stomping and stabbing. Taro turned to his own horse, dispatching a naginata-toting samurai with a single swing of his blade before climbing onto its back.
Taro led his bodyguard forward, trampling what remained of Hotokisa's bodyguard as they rode through the camp, bellowing. "YOUR LORD IS DEAD! YOUR LORD'S DEFENDERS ARE DEAD TOO! YOU WILL GO THE SAME!
Taken by surprise, with their leader dead and their captains slaughtered, the Iwami men turn tail and flee. The Inaba forces are loathe to pursue them, though, as even their brief assault has cost them more men…
INABA: Lose 10 Yari Samurai. Lose 10 Katana Samurai. Lose 5 Bow Samurai.

3. Infrastructure Increase 1/8. Normally infrastructure is increased for free when you've built up buildings in a province, but you can increase it directly. Note that doing this too often can be disastrous, since there are no pre-built institutions to keep up the level of infrastructure.

1/2/3. Your army moves swiftly, with purpose, and by the end of winter your men have Ichigo surrounded. His force is tiny, compared to yours– camped out in their forest, they are aware of your presence but do not flee.
The reason for their newfound courage is revealed by your scouts– the Inaba have an army oh-so-mysteriously posted next to the border… perhaps they are there to catch the outlaws. Perhaps they are just sightseeing? Regardless, if they seek to aid Ichigo, then the swiftness of your arrival and entrapment means that they will not be able to do so! If you move to wipe Ichigo out this turn you will get no interference– or aid– from the Inaba.
Doji returns as winter wanes, and he informs your retainers– for you are off at war– that he has secured another trade deal. Not as good, but still, the Ashikaga look favorably upon your clan!
Extend the Trade Deal for 1 turn.

It is Spring, 1552. There is news that the Date are on the warpath, having taken Shimotsuke in a swift and bloody mid-winter attack. The Chosokabe of Choshu have peacefully expanded northward, tightening their control of the island. The Hatakeyama have cheerier news– they are marrying their middle daughter to the Shogun's youngest son! The wedding will be in mid-Autumn.
News also makes the rounds that the Uesugi have occupied Musashi at the behest of their lord. This has further strained relations between the Uesugi and the Takeda, for the latter, it is whispered, wanted the province for themselves, and had already moved to take it from its owners, weakened by the pugnacious assaults of a Bandit lord as they were!
How long before Japan erupts into further bloodshed?

BACKGROUND: Takimasa is called the unlikely by many of what's now his clan. Being the third son of a third son. He spent much of his childhood free of the duties associated with being an heir and was able to spend his life among the common soldiers instead of the stuffy court. From his time with the soldiers he learned primarily tactics, strategy, and fortification but most of all to appreciate them in a way few daimyo do leading to his philosophy of quality over quantity to protect as many lives as possible. Shortly after his sixteenth birthday he was called home to serve his father as heir when his two elder brothers were killed in a boating accident while on their way to trade with the Nanban. When he turned 19 his father passed away leaving the unlikely heir in charge of the province and the Ryuo ambitions of shogunate power and a peaceful Japan.

DAIMYO NAME: Oinishi Kenshu
CLAN: Oinishi of Bungo, Sister branch of the Konishi Clan of Higo
BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education. Kenshu traveled far and wide to the various schools of Japan, studying law, architecture, construction, and other practical skills. He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

FAMILY: Brother Konishi Sebastian
ABILITIES:
[Law Scholar] - +2 to diplomatic relations. Recruiting inspectors is easier. Enemy inspector actions are of less severity.
[Nanban Knowledge] - It is possible for you to try and negotiate, even trade, with the Nanban barbarians. You must own a coastal province to have this ability
[Architect] - It is easier to build up and maintain infrastructure
[Siegesmith] - You can construct and recruit Siege Units– Mangonels, Firebomb Throwers, Cannons, Fire Rockets
AGENTS: Ichihisa, Inspector, [Manor Handmaidens]
TRAITS: [The Merchant Lord] - Moneymaking and trade comes easy to you, and accordingly, you gain a bonus to hashing out trade agreements, locating resources, and targeting enemy trade routes both militarily and by way of court and law. However, while they are willing to trade with you, the other clans are not willing to trust you due to your relations with your gaijin-loving sister branch. You take a penalty to negotiating peace treaties, alliances and the like.
Stuff:
[Plow Technology] Food output has increased!
1. Speak to other Lords, including my Brother, noted to be more open to Nanban guests and traders. Suggest we pool our collective interests by offering to host any Nanban visitors here, in my Manor. Both to centralize Nanban affairs, and to incentivize more visitations to Japan.
I'll even endeavor to ensure political and legal. . .smoothness. Such that the law won't be a bother to any sort of transaction they might be interested.
Perhaps there are already visitors out there right now who would be keen to better accomodations as well.
[Law Scholar] - +2 to diplomatic relations
[Nanban Knowledge]
2. Continue to contact the smugglers so that we have enough expamples from which we can devise a means to produce matchlocks.
In the least, hopefully these Chinese matchlocks are of superior quality than the stock Japanese. Just about any Lord can get their hands on one and many can make them, this is why I seek only the best my means can reach.
[Law Scholar] - +2 to diplomatic relations
[The Merchant Lord]
3. My advisors are right. It would be unwise to attempt to improve the infrastructure with no supporting buildings. We'll put that on a hold for now.
Instead, let's actually improve our settlement further with a superior Granary Storage, to house rice far longer and in greater quantity. This should improve our food situation during sieges, and in the long run neighboring provinces may even send their rice stocks to us as the best place to store their rice for long distance trade, centralizing the local rice business in our land.
It will syncrhonize with our improved rice out as well.

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

-DAIMYO NAME: Inaba Taro
-CLAN: Inaba, Not a Vassal
-BACKGROUND: Inaba Taro was born to the Inaba clan shortly after a fast decline brought on as a result of his grandfather's death at the hands of the Kasai clan's treachery. The Inaba are a clan largely based on honor and combat between clan heads, duels of honor. The previous clan leader, Taro's father, fell in one such battle during a time of rebuilding, leaving Taro as the leader in charge of returning the Inaba Clan to it's honor prior to his grandfather's death. Taro still believes in the Kasai's concepts of honorable combat and duels between clan heads, seeing them as one of few ways to earn redemption. Taro has little interest in uniting the provinces of Japan beyond expanding the influence of the Inaba should it be beneficial to the clan's honor.

This Nanban smuggler, uncouth as he may be, assures you that, for a price, he can get you a limited supply of chinese matchlocks and other illicit Chinese goods.
Of course, he expects full payment (enough to make your advisors grimace politely), shelter from the predations of sea-going Japanese ships, a permanent spot in that fancy manor you have, oh, and a bit of land, too…

1. Doji duitfully departs. This time, he is certain that he will return at the start of Winter. He knows the routes and layouts of Kyoto quite well!
2/3. You surround Ichigo's encampment. You do not spare him the luxury of words. You do not give him a chance to retreat. You wordlessly wave your war-fan and your forces move in, all bristling spears and whistling bows.
The battle is short, desperate and altogether messy. The trees are pocked with arrows and soaked in rebel blood, the tents overturned and ripped wide open. It can't be more than ten minutes before you find yourself cantering your horse into the center of Ichigo's camp to find the rebel leader kneeling in a dead firepit, with a broken spear through his gut and many gouges and cuts marring his mangled armor. He looks up at you with mingled hate and disbelief, shocked, clearly, that you arrived so swiftly and attacked so fiercely.
You have brought a swift and bloody halt to Ichigo's rebellion. You now have Ichigo wounded but alive in your "care."

However, when he sees that you've slain the Iwami Daimyo's brother, he laughs heartily, slapping his hand upon his knee.

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

DAIMYO NAME: Ryuo Takimasa
CLAN: off branch of the Takeda clan. Not a vassal.
BACKGROUND: Takimasa is called the unlikely by many of what's now his clan. Being the third son of a third son. He spent much of his childhood free of the duties associated with being an heir and was able to spend his life among the common soldiers instead of the stuffy court. From his time with the soldiers he learned primarily tactics, strategy, and fortification but most of all to appreciate them in a way few daimyo do leading to his philosophy of quality over quantity to protect as many lives as possible. Shortly after his sixteenth birthday he was called home to serve his father as heir when his two elder brothers were killed in a boating accident while on their way to trade with the Nanban. When he turned 19 his father passed away leaving the unlikely heir in charge of the province and the Ryuo ambitions of shogunate power and a peaceful Japan.

DAIMYO NAME: Oinishi Kenshu
CLAN: Oinishi of Bungo, Sister branch of the Konishi Clan of Higo
BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education. Kenshu traveled far and wide to the various schools of Japan, studying law, architecture, construction, and other practical skills. He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

-DAIMYO NAME: Inaba Taro
-CLAN: Inaba, Not a Vassal
-BACKGROUND: Inaba Taro was born to the Inaba clan shortly after a fast decline brought on as a result of his grandfather's death at the hands of the Kasai clan's treachery. The Inaba are a clan largely based on honor and combat between clan heads, duels of honor. The previous clan leader, Taro's father, fell in one such battle during a time of rebuilding, leaving Taro as the leader in charge of returning the Inaba Clan to it's honor prior to his grandfather's death. Taro still believes in the Kasai's concepts of honorable combat and duels between clan heads, seeing them as one of few ways to earn redemption. Taro has little interest in uniting the provinces of Japan beyond expanding the influence of the Inaba should it be beneficial to the clan's honor.

He spent much of his childhood free of the duties associated with being an heir and was able to spend his life among the common soldiers instead of the stuffy court. From his time with the soldiers he learned primarily tactics, strategy, and fortification but most of all to appreciate them in a way few daimyo do leading to his philosophy of quality over quantity to protect as many lives as possible. Shortly after his sixteenth birthday he was called home to serve his father as heir when his two elder brothers were killed in a boating accident while on their way to trade with the Nanban. When he turned 19 his father passed away leaving the unlikely heir in charge of the province and the Ryuo ambitions of shogunate power and a peaceful Japan.

1. We must finish the fishing Fleet. Winter approaches and without the fishing Fleet completed spring will be very difficult (harvesting is done in autumn, spring is generally the season where food shortages occur)
2. Send the monk North to our future friends fighting the ikko ikki. They will need assistance in rallying the faithful Buddhists against these heretical invaders. And so we shall offer them help. See what they will give us in return.
3. Offer of peace to hida.
Takimasa steps forth under the banner of peace meeting the Lord of hida.
His terms are clear and straightforward. Hida will become property of the Ryuo clan. The daimyo will commit seppuku for his poor management of hida leaving it in the weakened state it is in and any of the Anegakoji who wish to do so will join the Ryuo clan as a junior branch and they will do so by blood oath sealing them to our clan until a thousand generations have lived and died. Any who do not wish to do so may leave freely to become ronin. There are many positions open in the Ryuo clan and chances to rise to new heights not available in the former and rather weak Anegakoji. Failure to agree to these demands will result in needless bloodshed as the Ryuo will take hida by force if need be in which case every member of the Anegakoji bloodline will be hunted down and exterminated. Like yin and yang there are only two paths to choose from. However if you choose to accept we will give you face and marry your firstborn son or daughter into the main clan line.

DAIMYO NAME: Oinishi Kenshu
CLAN: Oinishi of Bungo, Sister branch of the Konishi Clan of Higo
BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education. Kenshu traveled far and wide to the various schools of Japan, studying law, architecture, construction, and other practical skills. He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

BACKGROUND: Kasai Daiki was born in an insignificant village long destroyed in a past war which helped shape him into the man he is today. Destitute and starving would be the simple ways to describe his childhood as he struggled to stay alive at the bottom of society. Daiki was not content to live a life of a beggar and eventually joined a mercenary group fighting in the many petty conflicts that littered Japan. He eventually rose through a combination of force of personality and combat skill to become leader of the little company. He however had different ideas on the work they should do and in no time set himself up as a petty warlord in the Hitachi Province.

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

I will pretend to mull over my decision for a while, before passing down my ultimate verdict. To restore his honor, Ichigo may choose to be cut once for each life that was lost in this war, or to die honorless, hanged like a common criminal. I am, however genuinely interested in how he pleads his case. [Hold trial for Ichigo, sentence him to death]
2. Archers are what we need next, and we need a lot of them. They serve as an important element of military theory. If one side has 100 archers, and the other side has 200 spearmen, the archers can remove any number of the spearmen from the battlefield, leaving fewer soldiers to attack them, and thus leading to fewer casualties among the archers, allowing them to fire more shots, etc. etc. [Train archers]
3. Perhaps now that I have time to myself, I can focus on teaching myself the ways of grand strategy. [Strategy 3/10]

-DAIMYO NAME: Inaba Taro
-CLAN: Inaba, Not a Vassal
-BACKGROUND: Inaba Taro was born to the Inaba clan shortly after a fast decline brought on as a result of his grandfather's death at the hands of the Kasai clan's treachery. The Inaba are a clan largely based on honor and combat between clan heads, duels of honor. The previous clan leader, Taro's father, fell in one such battle during a time of rebuilding, leaving Taro as the leader in charge of returning the Inaba Clan to it's honor prior to his grandfather's death. Taro still believes in the Kasai's concepts of honorable combat and duels between clan heads, seeing them as one of few ways to earn redemption. Taro has little interest in uniting the provinces of Japan beyond expanding the influence of the Inaba should it be beneficial to the clan's honor.

104 vs 57
The raiders let loose volley after volley of arrows at the oncoming tide, peppering the side of the small mountain with arrow after arrow after arrow. The monks and their ashigaru backers are cut down by the dozen, but covering fire from the mountaintop keeps Kasai's archers from really hammering them home.
At the bottom of the mountain, Kasai's soldiers return and push back against the oncoming monk tide, quickly swarming them through sheer numbers. To their credit, the holy men fight to the last: they make the raiders pay for every inch, lopping off heads and limbs with whirling naginata blades and crushing entire units through mob tactics and raw force.
By the time Kasai's men are marching up the mountain to plunder the temple, they're well bloodied and quite tired. The monks lie dead, broken and beaten through sheer numbers, their white headcloths soaked red with blood…
KASAI: Lose 250 Ashigaru Spears. Lose 100 Ashigaru Bows.

The lord of Hida, Anegakoji Yoshiyori, rides out with his honor guard to parley. In modest armor and not possessed of a faceguard, Yoshiyori is nonetheless completely inscrutable as Takimasa speaks. When he finishes, the Lord dips his head.
"We will not dishonor ourselves by willingly serving the Takeda's far-flung cousins. If you seek this land, then you take it by force, if you dare."
With that, the man rode back into his castle, and all across the plain one could hear the Anegakoji forces gearing up for war…

BATTLE OF MATSUKURA, MID-FALL, 1552
ANEGAKOJI YOSIYORI VS RYUO TAKIMASA
TAKIMASA: 2562.8 - General's Bodyguard, 50 Sword Cavalry, 45 Bow Cavalry, 45 Yari Cavalry, 72 Yari Samurai, 60 Bow Ashigaru. FORCE ADVANTAGE: MINOR. MOBILITY ADVANTAGE: ABSOLUTE. MORALE: EAGER
YOSIYORI: General's Bodyguard, 20 Sword Cavalry, 200 Katana Samurai, 300 Yari Ashigaru, 300 Bow Ashigaru. LAST STAND BONUS. MISSILE ADVANTAGE: MODERATE. SPEAR ADVANTAGE. NUMERICAL ADVANTAGE: MINOR. MORALE: EAGER
Takimasa's bow cavalry run wide around the city, though not before dipping their torches in pitch and, with the help of a carried torch, lighting said arrows ablaze. The gates are peppered with flames and soon catch, though the cavalry suffer losses from the Anegakoji's own archers.
When the gates collapse into embers, that is when Takimasa charges in. Entering the city at all angles, falling back and false charging the ensuing ashigaru spear-wall, Takimasa's forces weather the storm of arrows until one harassing group successfully pushes through, storming the walls and helping to further confuse the archers.
As spearmen break away to clear the inside, more cavalry leak through, and soon all sense of tactics and strategy are lost as the Ryuo forces pour in with fury and thunder, eager to pay their foes back for the deadly rain they were subjected to just before.
Amidst all of the horses and scuffling men, Yoshiyori stands tall, sword out, faceplate on, leading his contingent of samurai into battle against the Ryuo spears, cutting them down with ease before Takimasa and his mounted swords plow into their rear, pulling out and charging again for good measure. Somewhere in the bloody row there is a great cry of joy: Yoshiyori, felled by a spear through the breast.
The bloodbath goes on for half an hour before the invaders manage to storm and take the mostly undefended Tenshu, their thinned out archers picking off fleeing units of Anegakoji troops. The battle is won, but they'll need to be ran down before the province can truly be said to be theirs…
TAKIMASA: Lose 10 Sword Cavalry. Lose 10 Bow Cavalry. Lose 8 Yari Samurai. Lose 20 Bow Ashigaru.
ANEGAKJOI: Lose General's Bodyguard. Lose 145 Katana Samurai. Lose 20 Sword Cavalry. Lose 130 Ashigaru Spears. Lose 300 Ashigaru Bows.

DAIMYO NAME: Ryuo Takimasa
CLAN: off branch of the Takeda clan. Not a vassal.
BACKGROUND: Takimasa is called the unlikely by many of what's now his clan. Being the third son of a third son. He spent much of his childhood free of the duties associated with being an heir and was able to spend his life among the common soldiers instead of the stuffy court. From his time with the soldiers he learned primarily tactics, strategy, and fortification but most of all to appreciate them in a way few daimyo do leading to his philosophy of quality over quantity to protect as many lives as possible. Shortly after his sixteenth birthday he was called home to serve his father as heir when his two elder brothers were killed in a boating accident while on their way to trade with the Nanban. When he turned 19 his father passed away leaving the unlikely heir in charge of the province and the Ryuo ambitions of shogunate power and a peaceful Japan.

-DAIMYO NAME: Inaba Taro
-CLAN: Inaba, Not a Vassal
-BACKGROUND: Inaba Taro was born to the Inaba clan shortly after a fast decline brought on as a result of his grandfather's death at the hands of the Kasai clan's treachery. The Inaba are a clan largely based on honor and combat between clan heads, duels of honor. The previous clan leader, Taro's father, fell in one such battle during a time of rebuilding, leaving Taro as the leader in charge of returning the Inaba Clan to it's honor prior to his grandfather's death. Taro still believes in the Kasai's concepts of honorable combat and duels between clan heads, seeing them as one of few ways to earn redemption. Taro has little interest in uniting the provinces of Japan beyond expanding the influence of the Inaba should it be beneficial to the clan's honor.

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

DAIMYO NAME: Oinishi Kenshu
CLAN: Oinishi of Bungo, Sister branch of the Konishi Clan of Higo
BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education. Kenshu traveled far and wide to the various schools of Japan, studying law, architecture, construction, and other practical skills. He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

However, if anyone happens to discover the well-buried truth of Katatake's deeds and ambitions, it would surely be ruinous. And, after all, it is not the best time to be an utterly loyal vassal to the Ashikaga…
Infrastructure: Rice Paddies
1/2. The army is, numerically prepared. However, they need to be the hardest, most steadfast warriors in the world. The new drills will be done in a more involved manner. Specialized officials will be assigned to units, and they will evaluate the morale of each man, so that we can prevent another Ichigo from arising. They will issue weekly reports to their bureaucratic superiors, who will single out excellent soldiers, or worrying ones. These reports will come to me, and I will reward or punish troops as necessary. Hopefully, the bureaucrats between myself and the front lines will shield me from the more mundane cases. The drills themselves will be executed through rigorous training. Spearmen will be trained to stay in formation, and advance or hold their ground, even while dummy arrows are shot by their heads. This way, they will remain cool under fire. [Drill troops to improve their discipline and morale]
3. The strategy, which I have dubbed Kōshin, is nearly complete. I will spend a few more nights perfecting the details before issuing it to my generals, so that they can familiarize themselves with the new doctrine and create variants for different situations. This technique is unlike any other which exists in all Nippon, and will surprise all opponents with its inexorable advance. [Strategy 7/10]

Several miles into what is considered South Shinano, Kasai's forces halt as Winter gives one last push: a cold, wet snow sweeping across the province. At their front is a Takeda army, led by Shingen himself, bristling with hundreds of cavalrymen. At the raiders' back, Kenshin's army, warrior monks and samurai both enraged at the destruction of their temples.
Both are marching at breakneck speed towards Kasai, and the Takeda show absolutely no intention yet of moving to parley with the bandits. Kenshin's men, for their part, are all too eager to kill two birds with one stone…
Kasai has a choice. Try and fight through one army to safety, outmaneuver one (or both), or try for a bit of bloody misdirection…

BATTLE OF SHINANO, Early Spring 1553
TAKEDA SHINGEN VS KASAI DAIKI VS UESUGI KENSHIN
TAKEDA FORCES: 4,225 TOTAL - Takeda Shingen, 100 Sword Cavalry, 100 Spear Cavalry, 50 Bow Cavalry, 400 Ashigaru Spears. CAVALRY ADVANTAGE: OVERWHELMING. MORALE: EAGER
UESUGI FORCES: 4,175 TOTAL - Uesugi Kenshin, 150 Naginata Sohei, 150 Yumi Sohei, 100 Katana Samurai, 100 Bow Samurai. WEAKENED BY WINTER MARCHING. MORALE: ENRAGED

69 vs 62 vs 74
The raider forces stall momentarily at the oncoming Takeda tide, the men wavering and steeling themselves for the coming onslaught as the Uesugi begin charging at them from behind. Unsheathing his sword and waving it about, Kasai belts out an order.
Charge.
His raiders do just that, firing volley after volley into the oncoming Uesugi mass as the spearmen move to engage, leaving some behind to mitigate the Takeda charge. The two forces come to blows, and while the raiders take Kenshin's men by surprise the result is quickly bloody.
The Takeda charge through the pass between two clusters of forested trees, with most of his men surging around Kasai's lines to hammer into Kenshin's flanks. Takeda himself and his Fire Cavalry, however, punch a whole clean through the raider forces, trampling their spears and cutting a swath through their bowmen to break the battle lines and hammer into the heart of the fight, plowing men over and sinking spears into chests.
It is a messy, desperate affair for the raiding forces, many of whom try to disengage and put the Takeda between themselves and the Uesugi. The fighting quickly becomes chiefly Takeda vs Uesugi with Kasai's raiders trapped in the middle of a bloody frenzy of horses and monks and men. Lacking spear units, the Uesugi are forced to rapidly fall back to the forests, where Kasai's arrows and Takeda's horses cannot properly reach them.
Shingen himself prances over a field of corpses and gore, leaning down low to shatter the skull of a wounded monk with the edge of his gunbai. Amidst the howling of men and the screaming of horses, he and his entourage look to Kasai's bloodied and battered men, staring them down before wheeling around to continue orchestrating the impromptu offensive against the Uesugi.
The Raiders have a clean shot at escape.

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

Whatever worked best.

DAIMYO NAME: Ryuo Takimasa
CLAN: off branch of the Takeda clan. Not a vassal.
BACKGROUND: Takimasa is called the unlikely by many of what's now his clan. Being the third son of a third son. He spent much of his childhood free of the duties associated with being an heir and was able to spend his life among the common soldiers instead of the stuffy court. From his time with the soldiers he learned primarily tactics, strategy, and fortification but most of all to appreciate them in a way few daimyo do leading to his philosophy of quality over quantity to protect as many lives as possible. Shortly after his sixteenth birthday he was called home to serve his father as heir when his two elder brothers were killed in a boating accident while on their way to trade with the Nanban. When he turned 19 his father passed away leaving the unlikely heir in charge of the province and the Ryuo ambitions of shogunate power and a peaceful Japan.

DAIMYO NAME: Oinishi Kenshu
CLAN: Oinishi of Bungo, Sister branch of the Konishi Clan of Higo
BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education. Kenshu traveled far and wide to the various schools of Japan, studying law, architecture, construction, and other practical skills. He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

-DAIMYO NAME: Inaba Taro
-CLAN: Inaba, Not a Vassal
-BACKGROUND: Inaba Taro was born to the Inaba clan shortly after a fast decline brought on as a result of his grandfather's death at the hands of the Kasai clan's treachery. The Inaba are a clan largely based on honor and combat between clan heads, duels of honor. The previous clan leader, Taro's father, fell in one such battle during a time of rebuilding, leaving Taro as the leader in charge of returning the Inaba Clan to it's honor prior to his grandfather's death. Taro still believes in the Kasai's concepts of honorable combat and duels between clan heads, seeing them as one of few ways to earn redemption. Taro has little interest in uniting the provinces of Japan beyond expanding the influence of the Inaba should it be beneficial to the clan's honor.

Summer, 1553. News spreads widely of how the Takeda and Uesugi have clashed within Shinano, with Shingen's men beating back Kenshin's forces, who had been chasing a bandit army out of their lands. Surely, this is a humiliating blow for the Uesugi, who have taken control of Musashi regardless– on account of the fact that the lord of the Edo has been brazenly assassinated!
Less interesting is the news that the Otomo have taken the province of Chikuzen, the Chosokabe have tightened their grip on their island, and the Shogun has formally recognized the Fumetsu of Kaga as a proper clan…
Wise men and sky-watchers warn that they are seeing all the signs of a particularly strong typhoon on the way! All rolls are at a -5 due to the hurried preparations being made across all Japan to weather the storm.

DAIMYO NAME: Oinishi Kenshu
CLAN: Oinishi of Bungo, Sister branch of the Konishi Clan of Higo
BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education. Kenshu traveled far and wide to the various schools of Japan, studying law, architecture, construction, and other practical skills. He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

DAIMYO NAME: Ryuo Takimasa
CLAN: off branch of the Takeda clan. Not a vassal.
BACKGROUND: Takimasa is called the unlikely by many of what's now his clan. Being the third son of a third son. He spent much of his childhood free of the duties associated with being an heir and was able to spend his life among the common soldiers instead of the stuffy court. From his time with the soldiers he learned primarily tactics, strategy, and fortification but most of all to appreciate them in a way few daimyo do leading to his philosophy of quality over quantity to protect as many lives as possible. Shortly after his sixteenth birthday he was called home to serve his father as heir when his two elder brothers were killed in a boating accident while on their way to trade with the Nanban. When he turned 19 his father passed away leaving the unlikely heir in charge of the province and the Ryuo ambitions of shogunate power and a peaceful Japan.

At the same time I earn the gratitude not only of those raised here but of those who appreciate what I am doing here.

Higakamina Joshu is capable and can come in from time to time after it is built, but his purpose in its construction will be to gather support of the people of Higo if we can receive donations, find good deals with suppliers of rice or lumber and ore to build a home for the children without a home.

-DAIMYO NAME: Inaba Taro
-CLAN: Inaba, Not a Vassal
-BACKGROUND: Inaba Taro was born to the Inaba clan shortly after a fast decline brought on as a result of his grandfather's death at the hands of the Kasai clan's treachery. The Inaba are a clan largely based on honor and combat between clan heads, duels of honor. The previous clan leader, Taro's father, fell in one such battle during a time of rebuilding, leaving Taro as the leader in charge of returning the Inaba Clan to it's honor prior to his grandfather's death. Taro still believes in the Kasai's concepts of honorable combat and duels between clan heads, seeing them as one of few ways to earn redemption. Taro has little interest in uniting the provinces of Japan beyond expanding the influence of the Inaba should it be beneficial to the clan's honor.

3. The construction of roads is hampered by much superstition regarding the oncoming typhoon. Peasants, what can you do?
>>32261
1. Persistent trouble with the Ikko-Ikki monks has made gathering reports about the land impossible. You know the general village layout, and perhaps maybe some statistics regarding the population… but the Ikko Ikki make it difficult.
2. The most pressing matter, of course, happens to be the Ikko Ikki monks, who took down the last ruler of Kaga in the late 1400s and are none-too-quietly muttering for -you- to be deposed, too. The Ikko-Ikki want their sect of buddhism to be made the -only- sect practiced in Kaga, and want greater freedoms afforded to the peasants! Blasphemy!
3. Thus far, wealth is generated by taxes and farms. Expanded rice paddies would allow greater farming revenue, and, more importantly, there are rich veins of untapped iron in the hills!

1. You have now recruited, and set up, a group of Matchlock Makers. These Japanese gunsmiths can create Matchlocks for your men to use, but they are, sadly, not of the best quality, and are in limited supply. Still, though, much is to be said about the awesome power of a gun…

Fall, 1553. Most Typhoons either sweep across Japan's northernly parts or come up from the south, weakening rapidly as they strike Kyushu.
Not this one.

A full three days until it passes over Japan, and by the end of it, villages are destroyed, crops are ruined, and a very, very dire winter lies in wait for all…

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

DAIMYO NAME: Ryuo Takimasa
CLAN: off branch of the Takeda clan. Not a vassal.
BACKGROUND: Takimasa is called the unlikely by many of what's now his clan. Being the third son of a third son. He spent much of his childhood free of the duties associated with being an heir and was able to spend his life among the common soldiers instead of the stuffy court. From his time with the soldiers he learned primarily tactics, strategy, and fortification but most of all to appreciate them in a way few daimyo do leading to his philosophy of quality over quantity to protect as many lives as possible. Shortly after his sixteenth birthday he was called home to serve his father as heir when his two elder brothers were killed in a boating accident while on their way to trade with the Nanban. When he turned 19 his father passed away leaving the unlikely heir in charge of the province and the Ryuo ambitions of shogunate power and a peaceful Japan.

2. Our monk over in Kaga has tarried there for quite some time. If the ikko ikki are this entrenched I fear only a mass execution would do.

BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education.

He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

BATTLE OF BINGO, EARLY FALL 1553
IWAMI YOSHITAKA versus INABA TARO
IWAMI YOSHITAKA: 2000 TOTAL General's Bodyguard, 30 Yari Cavalry, 100 Katana Samurai, 100 Bow Samurai, 535 Ashigaru Spears. NUMBERS ADVANTAGE: MAJOR. FORCE ADVANTAGE: MAJOR. AMBUSH ADVANTAGE. BESET BY HURRICANE. MORALE: EAGER
INABA TARO: 1375 TOTAL - General's Bodyguard, 100 Bow Samurai, 100 Yari Samurai, 50 Katana Samurai. BESET BY HURRICANE. UNPREPARED FOR AMBUSH. MORALE: EAGER
39 vs 66
Crushing winds and torrential rains hammer down upon the Iwami attackers and the shocked Inaba soldiers. The ferocity of the storm makes orders almost impossible, and what follows is a hectic frenzy of steel and blood: waves of Ashigaru crash against Taro's lines of yari samurai while his archers wage a desperate fight to keep their arrows true in spite of the punishing winds. The force with which both sides charge quickly turns the road to a gruesome, wretched mud, bogging men down so that they are easily skewered or dispatched by their foes.
Taro cuts through the line of ashigaru, but meets head-on with the Iwami's own contingent of samurai, who both outnumber and outmaneuver their foes in short order. The master duelist frees his blade from its scabbard and sets to striking and smiting all he can reach, dropping no fewer than ten Iwami samurai into the mud, their blood scoured away by the blistering rains.
The sound of a horse rouses Taro from his battle-trance, and he watches as Yoshitaka himself leaps down from his steed and draws his blade, pointing vindictively at him. "YOU SLEW MY BROTHER!" he screams over the roar of the storm and the desperate fight. "NOW I PAY YOU IN KIND!"

A flash of steel. A peal of thunder. The two men were illuminated in a streak of lightning as they swung at one another amid the bloody roar, surging forward through the mud.
Yoshitaka's blade met Taro's shoulder guard as the younger man swung his blade horizontally, catching Yoshitaka in the gut and disembowling him in one stroke. Taro shrugged the sword from his shoulder and whipped his blade back around to deliver a deep, damning slice to his foe's arm, cutting through armor, flesh and bone to sever an artery. Dark blood and other, more gory things besides seeped out from Yoshitaka's stomach while bright red blood spurted from his arm, and he fell into the muck, mortally wounded.
Taro mounted his foe's horse and rode back through the Iwami lines to rally his men, pulling them back for reinforcement as the enemy army realizes that their leader has just been struck down with minimal effort.

-DAIMYO NAME: Inaba Taro
-CLAN: Inaba, Not a Vassal
-BACKGROUND: Inaba Taro was born to the Inaba clan shortly after a fast decline brought on as a result of his grandfather's death at the hands of the Kasai clan's treachery. The Inaba are a clan largely based on honor and combat between clan heads, duels of honor. The previous clan leader, Taro's father, fell in one such battle during a time of rebuilding, leaving Taro as the leader in charge of returning the Inaba Clan to it's honor prior to his grandfather's death. Taro still believes in the Kasai's concepts of honorable combat and duels between clan heads, seeing them as one of few ways to earn redemption. Taro has little interest in uniting the provinces of Japan beyond expanding the influence of the Inaba should it be beneficial to the clan's honor.

DAIMYO NAME: Awachi Katsuo
CLAN: The Awachi Clan, rightful lords of Awa province and independent.
BACKGROUND: Katsuo was the third son of Daimyo Awachi Hideaki, behind two brothers - Kiyoshi and Yuuma - and a single sister, Chou. He was the last of Hideaki's legitimate children, as his birth involved multiple complications that eventually killed his mother and left him terribly sickly, though the Daimyo would later recognize (without legitimizing) a younger brother for Katuso in Daichi and another sister in Izumi. Katsuo was born not only sickly, but also frail and small, unlike the healthy and strong Yuuma or the friendly and charismatic Kiyoshi. He was expected to not survive infancy and Hideaki, partially blaming the child for the death of his wife, refused Katsuo medical care, claiming any child of his would survive such an ordeal or be a worthless disgrace. By some miracle, Katsuo survived his first years of life, though his body would be forever wracked by disease and fragility. Growing up terribly thin, awkwardly lanky, and with an unpleasant, harsh demeanor, the only advantage Katsuo held came from his dangerously sharp mind.
Only offhandedly trained in courtship, the mannerisms of a Daimyo and Iaijutsu, Katsuo found himself with a surplus of free time, which he spent every moment of in feverish study. Unlike most third children with bright minds, Katsuo found no joy in poetry or philosophy, unable to bind himself to impractical concerns or postulations on the proper manner to show respect (of which he was capable of forcing little out of himself). Instead, the young boy filled entire scrolls with architectural designs and theoretical methods of swinging a katana and holding a formation. He much liked to watch the castle's soldiers train and staged mock battles every so often. The sergeants liked him; the soldiers did not. Yuuma grew to be a rowdy sort, intent on starting a fight with his newfound skills over slights both perceived and real. It was remarkable he held back from the disrespectful and reclusive Katsuo as long as he did, but eventually the heirling challenged his brother to a duel over his unwillingness to show the proper respect to his betters. Katsuo, reluctantly accepting, was left so terribly scarred that, after being released from the castle's hospital, he was forced to fashion a full-facial mask to cover his disgustingly scarred and ruined face. His first mask was handcrafted wood; the one he wears today is of fine red metal. Though he was never intended to hold the seat of Daimyo, he does today, as Yuuma met his death in a friendly duel with the heir of the declining Inaba, and Kiyoshi simply vanished one day after Yuuma's death, his belongings and person simply missing the next morning. Hideaki gave his final true son no words of comfort or forgiveness upon his deathbed as the masked figure stood by his side, joined only by his older sister. It was clear that he would have preferred Yuuma or Kiyoshi in Katsuo's place, but they were not there, and he was. Katsuo had wanted nothing more desperately than to feel as he watched his father die, but found himself unable to. His singular, burning desire left no room for pity or grief, and as he left Hideaki's corpse, the gears of his mind were already turning for new strategies, new plans, new methods of keeping men awake on the march and the roads strong under their feet. Now was not the time for reflection. Not when so much was on the line.
Katsuo was named Daimyo the next day. The day after, a peasant village took up arms in response to the news, furious at the court's refusal to wait for Kiyoshi's return. The rebellion was over by the end of the week.

He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

2. As we work on the new temple, the greenhouses are to be worked on as well. With Winter coming to the glorious home islands having food to make it through the colder months is crucial. And if we have a surplus, I'm sure some of the other clans would pay a pretty penny for the food as well.
3. But to even consider trading with other clans we shall need to finish the damned trading fleet. At all the trouble we've been having one might begin to think that they've been cursed, as if some malignant oni has taken residence in their hulls.

Destitute and starving would be the simple ways to describe his childhood as he struggled to stay alive at the bottom of society. Daiki was not content to live a life of a beggar and eventually joined a mercenary group fighting in the many petty conflicts that littered Japan. He eventually rose through a combination of force of personality and combat skill to become leader of the little company.

CLAN: off branch of the Takeda clan. Not a vassal.
BACKGROUND: Takimasa is called the unlikely by many of what's now his clan. Being the third son of a third son. He spent much of his childhood free of the duties associated with being an heir and was able to spend his life among the common soldiers instead of the stuffy court. From his time with the soldiers he learned primarily tactics, strategy, and fortification but most of all to appreciate them in a way few daimyo do leading to his philosophy of quality over quantity to protect as many lives as possible. Shortly after his sixteenth birthday he was called home to serve his father as heir when his two elder brothers were killed in a boating accident while on their way to trade with the Nanban. When he turned 19 his father passed away leaving the unlikely heir in charge of the province and the Ryuo ambitions of shogunate power and a peaceful Japan.

-DAIMYO NAME: Inaba Taro
-CLAN: Inaba, Not a Vassal
-BACKGROUND: Inaba Taro was born to the Inaba clan shortly after a fast decline brought on as a result of his grandfather's death at the hands of the Kasai clan's treachery. The Inaba are a clan largely based on honor and combat between clan heads, duels of honor. The previous clan leader, Taro's father, fell in one such battle during a time of rebuilding, leaving Taro as the leader in charge of returning the Inaba Clan to it's honor prior to his grandfather's death. Taro still believes in the Kasai's concepts of honorable combat and duels between clan heads, seeing them as one of few ways to earn redemption. Taro has little interest in uniting the provinces of Japan beyond expanding the influence of the Inaba should it be beneficial to the clan's honor.

3. What good are wagons when the fields are fallow? Production stalls as you struggle to feed your people through the winter.

1/2. You have now constructed a Matchlock District! These Japanese gunsmiths can create Matchlocks for your men to use, but they are, sadly, not of the best quality, and are in limited supply. Still, though, much is to be said about the awesome power of a gun…
3. Taking a deep breath, you lay out each and every one of your thoughts before stepping before the Shogun, bowing low and hard before him and his retinue.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru is a tall, fit man, and his beard bristles as he regards you. You tell him of your intentions, of your research, and he listens patiently even as some of his retainers and noble attendants chafe and politely obscure their faces behind fans. He arches a single, sparse brow in interest as you outline just how you will create a special zone for Nanban, and how this, of course, will stop them from meddling with the affairs of the rest of Japan!
As you take a breath to continue, the Shogun gently inclines his head. "I have heard enough, Lord Oinishi. I will admit, the continued influences of the Nanban perturb me, and rightfully so, lest they grow to poison and infest our noble home! But I am a practical man. And I know that trade will transpire, regulated or not. Your neighbors to the north… and the other branch of your family, are both testament to that.
"So, to the point. You seek a special place where the Nanban may go, may meet? Very well. I will send my metsuke to oversee its construction and administration, and perhaps I will need to make a visit in the years to come… we will see. For now, I grant your request: the Oinishi will have the exclusive right to host official Nanban visitors and dignitaries, should they arrive at our shores, and all efforts will be made to centralise trade through Bungo province. You may see my man, Yoshidamasu, for more details, Lord Oinishi."
Gain trait - [Nanban Negotiator] - The Shogun has granted you exclusive rights to host and treat with Nanban visitors and dignitaries; no other clan may attempt to engage in official foreign relations without express Shogunate approval. You gain a bonus to hosting and courting all types of Nanban.

2. As you continue drilling your men, you are politely interrupted by one of your couriers… he unfurls before you a scroll detailing the damages caused by pillaging and raiding on the Yamato-Inaba border. Who did it, it is impossible to say, but many of your peasant men were from this area of your province and are more than distressed, respectfully begging you to investigate and avenge these heinous attacks!
3. Chariots 5/8. These strange chariots are sure to confuse and confound the non-chariot-using cavalry forces of your contemporaries!
Doji returns, with joyous news: the Ashikaga support military action against the Inaba and are willing to support you– even sanction you– if you make any kind of reprisal! Such bonds can only be deepened by righteous warfare against those who would disturb Japan's peace.

Word reaches you that the wayward Iwami army has rallied ronin and bandits to their side, and though the Amako are dispatching a modest force to help you in upending them, you'll likely need to dislodge them of your own power.
You need to actually use an action to engage in combat. You don't get a "free" action to do so since you escaped alive and the Iwami disengaged last turn.

1. After much laboring, much building, and much toil, your men finally, -finally-, set to finishing your fleet. And they do build it quite well!
As you oversee the construction of the last ship, a contingent of monks walks onto the beach, carrying with them a wealth of timber and the pieces to a torii along with them. They humbly ask to build you a ship of their own, saying that the Kami have asked them to do so.
They build their ship in record time, almost before you can properly authorize the thing. When it's done, your workers stand in awe; a massive ship, that controls like no other and bears a torii mounted on the bow. Built of sacred wood, and blessed by the kami, you send it out to sail for the fleet's first fish-gathering run, and you bring in a haul that absolutely -dwarfs- those of any other province!
Gain [Fishing Fleet].
Gain [Suijin Maru], a blessed ship protected by the kami, or so they say…

Spring, 1554. News spreads of a record catch of fish from the Ryuo, a Takeda vassal clan near the center of Honshu.
The Chosokabe have lost Sanuki province to rebels, since most of their forces and efforts are being diverted to try and repair Tosa and Iyo in the aftermath of the typhoon.
The Date are beginning to show signs of another internal schism, just as rumors arise that they have started entering alliance talks with the Uesugi, who have declared WAR upon the Takeda. Both sides now muster their armies for battle over Shinano and, more importantly, Musashi.
Most interestingly, a lord from Kyushu has successfully acquired permission from the Shogun to host Nanban dignitaries within his lands! An unprecedented development that has angered some due to perceived favoritism of a lesser clan, others due to the Shogun's entertaining the idea of making treaties with the babbling barbarians. A minority– mostly those fiercely loyal to the Ashikaga– are in full support, while many just point out that it's so -unlikely- for there to be some great Nanban diplomatic mission anytime soon…

1. Spring. Perhaps an inappropriate time for such a gruesome tale as the fate of the Awachi as of late. Lord Hideaki is dead, with my brother Yuuma finding an early grave and Kiyoshi gone, likely with the Nanban to meet a similar death in some barbarous corner of the world. I am all that stands left of the legitimate Awachi, along with Chou; Izumi and Daichi may stay in this castle, but they are not my true kin. Not so long as they remain young and unproven. I, however, do not see this as such an inappropriate season to be crowned Daimyo in. Spring is the mark of a new time, a new dynasty. The Awa may have been content to rest in this stagnant castle during our age of upheaval, content in their protection with this modest army. I am now Awa, and I am not. Send emissaries and scouts to Sanuki province. I want specific measures of their military strength and drawings of their full terrain and fortifications by Summer - profiles of their dynasty matter less. This island has rested still, content to mediate with religious festival and tending to nature. No longer. Not while there are men under my banner to march.
+[Strategist]
2. The bodyguard of my father, Oshiro Tomokazu, is aging now, but he is still one of the most capable Samurai in all of Shikoku, if not Japan altogether. I trained little with him, as most of his effort was spent with that filthy brother of mine, Yuuma. I hold no ill will towards him for Yuuma's actions, however. It would not be suspected from his thin frame, but I know Tomokazu to be one of the most graceful and ferocious Samurai there is, and his tactics could hold great use if adapted to my common Samurai - or even, in a more distilled form, as part of the Ashigaru training. I will begin to study and adapt his methodology at once, now that his time is freed. (Studying [Aggressor])
+ [Scholar of War]
3. The first thing that Awa itself requires is an excess of food, both to feed the armies I have and will raise and to create a steady source of trade income by sale of the excess. One thing that Awa province is renowned for is its exceptionally fertile soil, along with its backward techniques. I am not content to even simply modernize our practice and design; I will improve it to the best in all of Japan. Using carefully-laid out plans and architectural redesigns, a complete restructuring of Awa's agricultural production will be commenced, aligned with a modernization of tools to produce a massive amount of rice from its paddies and fish from its coasts. The profits from sale should offset the costs of even the early modernization, provided my plans are correct.

He continues to nurture entrepreneurs of the province those who trade with foreigners and who trade locally and gives patronage to a priest of both Christ and of Buddha to not lost sight of the wisdom that led his father's father to succeed and bring the clan to this honorable position and have some entertaing and at times heated discussions.

TRAITS: [The Lord Forgives] - You have converted wholeheartedly to Christianity and western ideals. This makes it easier for you to recruit Matchlocks, do trade with foreign powers, and possibly even recruit foreign warriors to fight by your side. However, due to having utterly turned your back on the old ways, you are permanently capped at 1 honor and diplomacy with non-Christian clans is exceedingly difficult. The Nanban also expect compensation for their services…

BACKGROUND: Kasai Daiki was born in an insignificant village long destroyed in a past war which helped shape him into the man he is today. Destitute and starving would be the simple ways to describe his childhood as he struggled to stay alive at the bottom of society. Daiki was not content to live a life of a beggar and eventually joined a mercenary group fighting in the many petty conflicts that littered Japan. He eventually rose through a combination of force of personality and combat skill to become leader of the little company.

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

DAIMYO NAME: Oinishi Kenshu
CLAN: Oinishi of Bungo, Sister branch of the Konishi Clan of Higo
BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education. Kenshu traveled far and wide to the various schools of Japan, studying law, architecture, construction, and other practical skills. He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

However, while they are willing to trade with you, the other clans are not willing to trust you due to your relations with your gaijin-loving sister branch. You take a penalty to negotiating peace treaties, alliances and the like.

1-2. Those that are close to the Shogun, I should grow close to. Let me take stock of this Yoshidamasu and cooperate with him on the finer details of this new agreement. I will also proceed to make the necessary moves to grant my brother continued access to his Nanban dealings…through me. His contacts will find my Manor a most suitable place to stay while in Japan. Other lords both near and afar noted for currently having or having a history of nanban trade relations will also be notified so they might prepare to transfer Nanban dealings to a central location.
[Law Scholar] - +2 to diplomatic relations.
[Nanban Negotiator] - The Shogun has granted you exclusive rights to host and treat with Nanban visitors and dignitaries; no other clan may attempt to engage in official foreign relations without express Shogunate approval. You gain a bonus to hosting and courting all types of Nanban.
3. And while I am at court, now would be a good time to take stock of the other clan lords both near and afar and see what connections I can make. I'll avoid anyone with obvious anti-Gaijin sentiments, but there are bound to be more than me and my brother who seek prosperity and benefit from continued, and, now regulated and controlled trade. I should also learn of the afairs of Japan afar north as well.
[Law Scholar] - +2 to diplomatic relations.

I am writing to you my brother. Your work and motivation seems to have reaped great benefits, and perhaps enemies. It is a great honor, some will say won by support rather then merit-
-It changes into a language of Nanban here-
if that sack of shit thinks he can stop me from trading from my own home he has got another thing coming and fuck you for not consulting me and for trying to use authority to have control over the trade which will just end up with our people as stooges of the Shogunate as it enforces these powers without guaranteeing that it is our people that benefit from any conflicts we are drawn into.
-It then continues in native moonspeak-
Yet, I as your brother, understand you care to see continued prosperity for our clans and our friends so I forgive you and will protect my kin.

DAIMYO NAME: Ryuo Takimasa
CLAN: off branch of the Takeda clan. Not a vassal.
BACKGROUND: Takimasa is called the unlikely by many of what's now his clan. Being the third son of a third son. He spent much of his childhood free of the duties associated with being an heir and was able to spend his life among the common soldiers instead of the stuffy court. From his time with the soldiers he learned primarily tactics, strategy, and fortification but most of all to appreciate them in a way few daimyo do leading to his philosophy of quality over quantity to protect as many lives as possible. Shortly after his sixteenth birthday he was called home to serve his father as heir when his two elder brothers were killed in a boating accident while on their way to trade with the Nanban. When he turned 19 his father passed away leaving the unlikely heir in charge of the province and the Ryuo ambitions of shogunate power and a peaceful Japan.

1. Scouts and "merchants" are sent north to Sanuki, scouting the lay of the land and the state of their people in the midst of their rebellion against the weakened Chosokabe. They are poorly fortified and their army is… lacking, consisting mostly of peasant levies, but they are quickly building strength with support from other clans on Honshu.

2. Yon gets a hold of a shady black market dealer who offers to take the things off of your hands for a modest sum… but surely, you can find better. Right?
As a FREE ACTION you can sell the artifacts to this man or otherwise spend an action to try to find another buyer. The difficulty increases with every attempt.

3. You have stricken up dialogue with the Koreans, and, through trading savvy and your own knowledge of the Korean language, set terms for a modest trade, gems for cannons.
You can now recruit Korean Cannon units, men toting smaller cannons for use against infantry and ships rather than bringing down castles. Korean Cannons are worth 10 force, and can only be recruited in tiny numbers.

1/2. Yoshidamasu hammers out some of the finer points of the deal, and allows you to extend your treaty to your brother under your leave, of course, with the stipulation that it is all mediated by Shogunate personnel. He and the Shogun send letters that urge those lords with diplomatic relations to "consider" shifting their "burdens" onto you.
Nobody seems to do that, of course, but they will surely come around in due time.
3. The Date, Shimazu and Otomo all engage in some meaningful level of foreign trade, but, of course, the Shimazu absolutely do not trust you and the Date emissary simply invites you to a polite bit of tea and discussion of which comes nothing of substance.
Some of the less notable clans, the Hatakeyama and the Yamana, are open to your suggestions. If you built a port or something of the like, perhaps, they would be glad to trade with you and further strengthen relations.
Your quiet search for friends abroad seems to draw the ire of the Uesugi, the Mori and the Imagawa, however. Thankfully only the Mori seem to be in any position to do anything…

Dojo does not know these things, but what he does know is politics. He is to go to the Inaba, under the pretext of negotiating a trade deal. While he is there, he will feel out the general attitude in the Inaba court. When he finds someone willing to help us in return for wealth, power, or land, he will get them to tell us of potential Inaba weaknesses, and the path of least military resistance.

[Prodigial Architect] - You are a renowned castle-builder. You gain a +5 to building and maintaining infrastructure and get a +5 when fighting siege battles on either side. However, your clan's very recent emergence means you have little respect in the eyes of many other clans. You take a penalty to certain diplomatic actions.
1. Although it is dishonorable to strike out against the unwary, Einoishi has little choice but to safeguard his people. Einoishi cooperates with the Ryuo monk, and works together to devise the most effective strategy to swiftly uproot the Ikko Ikki. The first question is will the Ryuo provide military aid?

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

BACKGROUND: Kasai Daiki was born in an insignificant village long destroyed in a past war which helped shape him into the man he is today. Destitute and starving would be the simple ways to describe his childhood as he struggled to stay alive at the bottom of society. Daiki was not content to live a life of a beggar and eventually joined a mercenary group fighting in the many petty conflicts that littered Japan. He eventually rose through a combination of force of personality and combat skill to become leader of the little company.

BACKGROUND: Takimasa is called the unlikely by many of what's now his clan. Being the third son of a third son. He spent much of his childhood free of the duties associated with being an heir and was able to spend his life among the common soldiers instead of the stuffy court. From his time with the soldiers he learned primarily tactics, strategy, and fortification but most of all to appreciate them in a way few daimyo do leading to his philosophy of quality over quantity to protect as many lives as possible. Shortly after his sixteenth birthday he was called home to serve his father as heir when his two elder brothers were killed in a boating accident while on their way to trade with the Nanban. When he turned 19 his father passed away leaving the unlikely heir in charge of the province and the Ryuo ambitions of shogunate power and a peaceful Japan.

DAIMYO NAME: Oinishi Kenshu
CLAN: Oinishi of Bungo, Sister branch of the Konishi Clan of Higo
BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education. Kenshu traveled far and wide to the various schools of Japan, studying law, architecture, construction, and other practical skills. He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

1. Send a letter to my estate. I want a naval port to start being built at once, I will be returning soon.
2. I also want more water mills on rivers for cutting wood, stone, and grinding flour. Nothing new, certainly Nanban in origin, but having more of them is necessary as I intend to build up the infrastructure of my estate as well as ships, and an abundance of materials is needed. (water powered mills for wood and flour were already wide spread in Europe and Asia by the 11th century, although between 13th-15th only Europe would be using them for hammering steel)
—
I am hearing Rumors that an unnamed clan tried to establish a new form of Yari Ashigaru based warfare involving heavy drilling and new strategical knowledge on ranks of spears supported by ranged forces. This new way of fighting was not taken kindly by the peasants of their lands, inciting rebellion. But the idea is a sound one, in my opinion.
3. I'm not a strategist, but I would like to hire a strategist who could train and drill my men in such a fashion of massed ranks of spears supported by ranged fire. I'm told it is common in far off Nanban, and if one clan could develop it on their own, surely we can as well.
Let us see if Ichihisa, can find me one.

HARUKAGE - 3,575 TOTAL - General's Bodyguard (Zealous), 45 Yari Cavalry, 100 Naginata Sohei, 100 Yumi Sohei, 100 Katana Samurai, 300 Ashigaru Spears. POOR POSITIONING. MISSILE VULNERABILITY. MORALE: STEADY.
57 vs 71
The bandit forces surge downward from their elevated approach, blades and bows bared to their opposition. The Uesugi forces rally 'round their general, who raises a naginata high and brings his spears and sohei to the fore, presenting an intimidating wall of bristling blades and metal points to the oncoming bandit tide.
The two forces clash where the hill meets the encampment, and Daiki's forces, unfortunately, can't quite stop their ferocious momentum. They hammer into the prepared defenses of the Uesugi and scores of men find themselves forcefully impaled, pressed in by their comrades and the movement of their own two legs. The "frontline" quickly devolves into a bloody standoff, spear versus spear, with the warrior monks hacking at anyone who dares venture too far forward.
In an attempt to flank, Daiki leads his cavalry and his sword troops around the side as his men begin unleashing a deadly deluge of arrows on the Uesugi. While the bow warrior monks certainly have the bandits beat in fire rate and accuracy they can't keep up with the sheer volume. They at least keep the heat off of their own contingent of swords and cavalry, who meet Daiki's flanking force head on and proceed to handily beat them back towards the hill, leaving a bloody trail of horses and men.
Soon, the Uesugi general blows his horn and flicks his war-fan upwards, and as one, the bloodied force pulls back in a mob, with few bowmen left to cover them, towards a wooded area of the road!

81 vs 40
The Uesugi wait in their forest as the raiders surge forward, undaunted in their bloody quest to wipe their foes out. They push on through the trees under a blistering hail of arrows, the trunks and branches giving both sides ample cover. While sheltering the vulnerable Uesugi forces from ranged attack, the forest soon proves to be their undoing; their samurai and sohei cannot adequately swing their weapons in such close quarters.
Daiki's men, on the other hand, are easily able to stab and thrust, impaling monk after monk on the points of their spears. Righteous fury is laid low by raw opportunism, and the forest quickly becomes a horrid place of screaming men and bloodied corpses.
The Uesugi commander, watching the tide of raiders surge closer and closer through the arrow-marked trees, snarls and wheels his cavalry around, ordering them into a loose formation to bolt through the trees as Kasai's flanking force closes in. No one cannot say that the Uesugi retainers do not fight well: they put up a savage resistance and fight to the last, keeping Daiki from catching up with the enemy general.
The raider warlord is left with a forest full of bloodied weapons and punctured corpses.

1/2. You send Doji to the Inaba lands, as a simple "trader…" you should hear back from him before winter starts in earnest.
3. You have completed your strange chariot project and can now make [Chariot] units, which are quite effective on open ground but terrible for forested/hilly terrain. Your peers will likely not think… highly, of deploying such -chinese- objects in battle.
>>33133
1. The Ryuo will absolutely provide aid, the monk says, though, truthfully, he is no ambassador for the Ryuo.
He does state that simply breaking the Ikko Ikki in their own temples, and razing or– ideally– just converting them may work. He does admit, however, that getting the adherents of Ikko to capitulate at all is… an enormous task
Sadly, you'd be best suited just burning their temples to the ground and killing them.
2. Perhaps labeling it "propaganda" is not exactly a good strategy! Either way, it doesn't seem to take with most of the peasantry.
3. Mining Villages 5/6. Construction goes smoothly.
>>33134
1. You have built your [State Orphanage]! Now it will serve as a place to teach and nurture those children bereft of their parents through war or sickness. While uneasy about the Gaijin tint to the whole thing, your peers cannot deny your selflessness.
2. Quarry 2/8. You begin constructing a stone quarry.
3. Higo Fortifications 2/8.
>>33137
1. Progress on the trading fleet is, unfortunately, not forthcoming… there's a lack of wood for the time being.
2. The Noto people are incensed at your desire to build a quarry! To steal their lands and resources, are rice and soldiers not enough for you?
Relations with the Noto have deteriorated.
3. Military Port 1/10. You begin upgrading your coastal hamlet into a proper military wharf.
>>33142
You sell the artifacts to this… reputable fellow, for a meagre sum.
1. At no small cost to yourself, you break the Uesugi over your knee and drive them from your borders. Gain [Modest Loot].
2. Training Camp 3/8
3. Brothel 1/8
>>33171
1. The Saito spend much time deliberating and, you suspect, arguing amongst themselves. They say that they have no available women with which to offer in marriage, for the daimyo's sister and daughter are, ah, spoken for; and they will muster up an agent as soon as possible, but they have none to offer. If you are still willing, however, they will serve as your vassal if you promise to protect them from external threats!
2. Your attempts at wrangling a Drillmaster meet a snag when several of your more notable subjects raise a loud objection to your apparent disregard for honored Takeda-clan tradition. It's a nasty spat, and by the end of it several of your more competent Cavalrymen desert your service!
Lose 10 Bow Cavalry. Lose 10 Yari Cavalry. Drillmaster 3/10
3. Roads And Waystations 8/12
>>33173
1. Naval Port (specify Trade or Military) 3/8
2. Rice Mill 3/6. You pick out a reasonably fast river to base the mill on.
3. Strategist 3/10.
>>33176
1. Rice Paddies 4/6.
2. Aggressor 3/7. You pore over the finer points of attacking, counterattacking, and rapid movement tactics…

Fall, 1554. The Takeda and Uesugi have finally met on the field of battle, but by all accounts, it was a rather lukewarm engagement, for both men were exceedingly cautious. The Hojo have begun refusing to trade salt to many of their neighbors, citing "economic troubles" in the times ahead.
In other news, it seems that the Shogun has finally diverted supplies of rice and fish to Shikoku only after it was agreed that Chosokabe Kunichika's daughter would marry the Shogun's younger brother. A prestiguous union… but not a happy one, one can already tell.

AGENTS:
TRAITS: [The Lord Forgives] - You have converted wholeheartedly to Christianity and western ideals. This makes it easier for you to recruit Matchlocks, do trade with foreign powers, and possibly even recruit foreign warriors to fight by your side. However, due to having utterly turned your back on the old ways, you are permanently capped at 1 honor and diplomacy with non-Christian clans is exceedingly difficult. The Nanban also expect compensation for their services…

1. The lack of an agent is disappointing but such things happen. I will trust in your words and await the arrival of a good agent to join my service. I am sad that you have no females of acceptable birth to seal our alliance but will keep good faith with you even without that guarantee (the marrying of one of their women is actually a concession on my part. Traditionally it was something demanded by the soon to be vassal party to make sure the lord wouldn't trample over them once it became convenient to do so. Because doing that would result in your wife killing you in your sleep/turning your own children on you since that is their family just as much as you are). [Accept the vassalship of the Saito]

Isn't that right?
I didn't say it was a tercio, even if you did use the pictures, but for some reason people think it is when I'm literally doing the same thing that you are.
>>33245
Actually no you're retarded. In no where, not once, did I post anything along the likes of
>"Tercio"
>"Pike and Shot"
or anything remotely like that.
My exact words were
>"massed ranks of spears supported by ranged fire"
Which is just a shorter way of saying
>"The Yari will form lines four men deep. The front row will present their spears forwards, while the rear two rows will raise their spears partially, prepared to replenish the line once the front row tires."
>"Meanwhile, Archers will advance, in units of ten, directly behind the Yari lines, and will fire at targets chosen by their unit commanders"
So basically, if Dara can have a basic spear formation and I try to do a spear formation it's somehow different? Well, you can take that double standard and shove it up your ass.

So why the hype on a "new method to put us ahead of the others" if all you are doing was a "super basic formation"
But in short, I accuse and call out Tansen for being a hypocritical bitch who'd call out one player for doing X when another player also does X and doesn't bat an eye.

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

Einoishi reads a letter that apparently arrived late and is supposedly from the lord of Ryuo, Einoishi reads it personally and widens his eyes, for a letter such as this to arrive so late, immediately he sends his reply, Kaga would accept this offer. The lord of Ryuo need only to decide a time for them both to attack.
1. Einoishi is inspired by the Ryuo’s offer, proper roads the ran throughout his domain would do wonders for its infrastructure, the prodigal architect turned lord takes it upon himself to scour through the maps of Kaga as he personally plans and designs the roads, bridges and waystations that will soon cover his domain.

It would appear that the lord of Kaga would have to do some quality control later, but for now, he will have his new retainers work with him along with the Ryuo priest to prepare the propaganda.

DAIMYO NAME: Oinishi Kenshu
CLAN: Oinishi of Bungo, Sister branch of the Konishi Clan of Higo
BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education. Kenshu traveled far and wide to the various schools of Japan, studying law, architecture, construction, and other practical skills. He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

However, while they are willing to trade with you, the other clans are not willing to trust you due to your relations with your gaijin-loving sister branch.

N/A
TRAITS:
+ [Scholar Of War] - Your illness and frailty have given you much time to pore over theories and stratagems, and your own experience has given you a grip of iron. You gain a bonus to training martial-oriented abilities and a +5 to all battles; you also suffer lower chances of civil unrest due to your iron grip. However, your gruesome features and terrifying demeanor don't do you too many favors: you take a penalty to diplomatic actions, and your men are more easily bribed or coerced. Additionally, your frailty gives you a -20 to personal combat, and you have a lower chance of surviving battle wounds.
1. Finish off the advanced agricultural plans. [Rice Paddies 4/6]
2. Continue studying and adopting aggressive personal tactics on a more tactical scale from Tomokazu. [Aggressor 3/7]
3. The Ashigaru recruitment has gone excellently. I now only need to improve my core of elite Samurai before the men will be ready to march - though since winter is so near, I will have a few more months for recruitment after this. Cavalry will not be so useful against masses of spearmen, even when used to flank, but I need a large and more professional core of Samurai, in all three essential types. Draw some men with promise from the Ashigaru from training, and begin a recruitment campaign to make up the difference, advertising glory and fame in honorable conquest to some of the many currently aimless Samurai throughout Japan - fight for the Awachi, and fight for the most efficient, honorable army within it.

Doji returns, and he informs you that there are some repressed peasants and monk sects that may well support a change of regime. The Inaba cannot rally much peasant/monk support as a result, and, thus, they are forced to rely mostly on Samurai, leaving them at a disadvantage when it comes to raw numbers.
Otherwise, however, they are very militarily competent…

DAIMYO NAME: Oinishi Kenshu
CLAN: Oinishi of Bungo, Sister branch of the Konishi Clan of Higo
BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education. Kenshu traveled far and wide to the various schools of Japan, studying law, architecture, construction, and other practical skills. He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

2. The dutiful servants of Oinishi completed their mill for their lord, and several others just like it. Even in the dead of winter, the mills let them more efficiently de-husk and grind rice. The people of Bungo did not go hungry that winter: quite the contrary, they had more than enough.
In the absence of their lord, the Oinishi were, understandably, baffled when a Nanban man bearing a cross and a book with a similar symbol appeared at their borders. In very poor Japanese, he speaks of how the Otomo and the highest lord of this land have said many good things about the Oinishi, and how the Nanban man's own masters seek to establish relations of trade… and perhaps more.
The man says his land is called "Portugal."

Spring, 1555. Uesugi and Takeda continue their cautious, low-intensity conflict, even as bandit raids become more common in that part of Japan. The Amako, Iwami and Bingo-Inaba are similarly deadlocked.
Word reaches the courts of unrest across Japan, from Chosokabe tensions, to a further breakdown of Date relations over the Uesugi problem, to friction within the Otomo over the Shogun's recent decree. The Oda, as well, seem to be devolving into a state of war amongst the four-years-deceased Oda Nobuhide's sons. Much of the fighting is spearheaded by a lad named Nobunaga.

The smaller faction of the Date is inclined to let the Uesugi handle their own problems. The larger faction, it seems, wants to help the Uesugi against their Takeda enemies– if only to amass their own power and further weaken the Uesugi. The dissenters view this as a needlessly dangerous tactic, for, already, their grasp on their lands is tenuous. Better to let the Uesugi sink or swim by their own merits, and the Date can take what they can get in the aftermath of a war between the Tiger and the Dragon…

BACKGROUND: Kasai Daiki was born in an insignificant village long destroyed in a past war which helped shape him into the man he is today. Destitute and starving would be the simple ways to describe his childhood as he struggled to stay alive at the bottom of society. Daiki was not content to live a life of a beggar and eventually joined a mercenary group fighting in the many petty conflicts that littered Japan. He eventually rose through a combination of force of personality and combat skill to become leader of the little company.

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

DAIMYO NAME: Oinishi Kenshu
CLAN: Oinishi of Bungo, Sister branch of the Konishi Clan of Higo
BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education. Kenshu traveled far and wide to the various schools of Japan, studying law, architecture, construction, and other practical skills. He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

3. The man is of course, welcomed to stay in the luxury of our manor. I write a letter to my inspector. From what I know of the land of Portugal from my studies, they, like all nanban, tend to be interested in Japanese trade in so far as luxury items and novelties. Porcelain, silk, lacquerware, swords, and sake. They also trade in copper and silver, which seems to be more abundant in Japan than their land.
A good place to start then, since we now have a Rice Mill, is to ask the man if he'd be interested in trading Sake, our wine, back to Nanban. Then begin the construction of a Sake mill. The good thing is since we have an abundance of rice we should be able to meet both trade and provide some sake to our people as well.

1. Good. The next thing that will be needed in Awa province is a centralization of our ports in the capital, into one harbor capable of stationing Nanban ships and building seaworthy vessels for both combat and trade. Being able to trade excess food and resources should be a tremendous boon to Awa province's prosperity - and it will open up trade with the Nanban, as well.

3. Good. It is now time to march north, into the currently-lacking Sanuki. My army will be able to easily overwhelm their rebellion forces with a much larger, more elite army, directed by my skillful motions. Furthermore, their lack of any central fortification means there should be no need for any sort of siege troops; and I doubt any trouble will be had catching the peasant army unprepared. There is even the legitimate causus bellum in this war of restoring the order to a lost province, one the Chosokabe have been clearly unable to recover properly - and any negative response from them will give me a reason to war with the Chosokabe as well. We march immediately.

Doji's job is to gather support from the villagers and monks, so that when we attack, the Inaba forces will contend with reduced Ashigaru morale, higher attrition, and more thinly spread forces, as they will need to deal with peasant risings throughout the province. He should only attempt to recruit those villages which are almost certain to come to my banner in my fight against the Inaba.

Summer. 1555. The Date and Oda remain subsumed by civil unrest, while news is spreading of talks through gritted teeth between the Imagawa, Takeda and Hojo, who have, for now, refused to come to blows.
More interesting is the news of the marriage between Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Chosokabe Risuka. The ceremony went wonderfully, and many lords from the greater clans were in attendance. The Shogun has personally thanked the Hattori, their erstwhile allies and neighbors, for making sure it all went smoothly and without interruption.
Some mutter that getting the Hattori to bolt down the capital is improper, seeing as they only barely qualify as a greater clan. Others view it as a sign of weakness: why would they ask the -Hattori- to provide security, if not scared that an assassination was at hand…?

DAIMYO NAME: Oinishi Kenshu
CLAN: Oinishi of Bungo, Sister branch of the Konishi Clan of Higo
BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education. Kenshu traveled far and wide to the various schools of Japan, studying law, architecture, construction, and other practical skills. He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

They have amassed a great many monks to their side, and more than a few ronin and peasant rebels as well. This will be a crucial battle for the monks– if they succeed and beat the rightful lord back, then they may well go on to incite a full rebellion…

Einoishi leaves behind a token force to protect his capitol and with the rest, he marches with their Taka allies. Following their example, we shall rain our arrows down upon the wretched Ikko Ikki until they either meet us in the field, or their gates fall. The Firebomb throwers shall act sparsely, only making a move when it is certain that they can retreat behind allied lines after a toss, and that their bombs will not harm allies.
When the charge commences, the Yari Cavalry shall wait for opportunities, if they see an opening in the Ikko Ikki lines for a hit and run then they shall press it however, their main duty shall be to run down any Ikko Ikki that attempt to flee. Today shall see the end of the Ikko Ikki within Kaga.

The combined Ryuo/Einoishi force moves without hesitation. They rain down fire upon their foes, moving out of range ever so slightly so that they can benefit from superior organization and accuracy. Flaming arrows set the city-temple ablaze in short order, throwing the monks and peasants into disarray, and although the Ikko-Ikki have overwhelming firepower, they don't seem to be able to effectively manage it.
The Ikko swarm out of their holding to try and crush their foes underfoot, but they are met with a volley of firebombs, blowing apart armor and limbs and weapons. The line becomes a smoky mess, rife with the smell of burnt meat and the screams of dismembered men as the coalition bears down on the confused, shocked Ikko. The zeal of the monks and the massed fury of the peasants is little before the orderly butchery that the Einoishi men provide.
While the Ryuo cannot adequately charge into the massed throng, they, along with the Einoishi cavalry, sieze an opening when they see one– a gap in the ranks as Rennyo pulls away from the screaming mass of spears and blades and arrows that is the front. They charge forward, meeting with a host of ronin on their way to the Ikko leader. The wave-men put up a valiant defense but are crushed under hoof all the same, their poor quality arms and armor unable to help them last against the onslaught of raw equine force.
In short order the Ikko are scattered, and their leader falls back while harassed by Einoishi cavalry, surely to rally more to his side… the combined force is left with a half-burned town and a small number of bitter, bloodied Sohei captives, the most zealous survivors of the Ikko Ikki stand.
RYUO: Lose 5 Naginata Cavalry. Lose 20 Bow Cavalry. Lose 10 Spear Cavalry.
EINOISHI: Lose 60 Ashigaru Spears. Lose 5 Firebomb Throwers. Lose 30 Bow Samurai. Lose 8 Yari Samurai.

The rebels have no plans on going quietly into that good night. They fight with tooth and nail, possessed of surprising numbers of samurai for "rebels," likely defectors from the ailing Chosokabe. For all of Awachi's tactics and planning, they are almost undone by an overreliance on rigidity and an underestimation of just how hard the cornered rebels fight.
The multi-fronted slaughter takes place all the way up to the castle gate, where the defenders hold off the Awachi invaders with bristling spears and whirling blades, trading arrow for arrow. It is Awachi's cavalry that wins the day, sweeping in from the side and hammering straight into the vulnerable flank of the rebels. It drives them further back towards the city, and in their haste to get away from the stampeding horses and enraged invaders, they fail to close the gates.
Once Awachi's men are inside, they quickly outflank and outfight the now-shocked defenders, many of whom pull back to save their own hide, escaping into the woods where Awachi's cavalry cannot capitalize on their rout…
At the end of five bloody hours, most of which was comprised of house-to-house street brawling, Awachi's men stand bloodied but victorious.
AWACHI: Lose 400 Ashigaru Spears. Lose 300 Ashigaru Bows. Lose 80 Yari Samurai. Lose 30 Katana Samurai. Lose 15 Bow Cavalry.

Fall, 1555. The Takeda and the Uesugi are gathering for another bloody skirmish, it seems, though their forces are said to both be split! The Takeda also entertain talks of a three-way alliance with the Hojo and the Imagawa, and the Imagawa's vassals, the clan now calling themselves the Tokugawa.
On the southern tip of Honshu, Motonari has surprised all with an utterly crushing defeat of enemy general Sue Harakata at Miyajima. The Mori are quickly becoming a ferociously powerful clan… much to the envy of the beleaguered Chosokabe, or so they say…

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

1. Continue to build the Coastal Village. [4/6]
2. Hunt down the rest of those damnable rebels. I do not intend to suffer attacks from guerillas within MY province. The cavalry should be able to run down the last of them, and these men are, if nothing else, too honorable to hide amongst peasants now that they've taken up open arms. Either that, or too cowardly to continue fighting for a nebulous cause. Either way, these lands will become solidly mine.
3. While the fight took an unfortunate amount of manpower due to the unprecedented ferocity of the rebel force, harvest season and this new province, there should be no problems with replenishing the Ashigaru's numbers. Do so at once, with traditional tactics.

He eventually rose through a combination of force of personality and combat skill to become leader of the little company.

CLAN: Oinishi of Bungo, Sister branch of the Konishi Clan of Higo
BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education. Kenshu traveled far and wide to the various schools of Japan, studying law, architecture, construction, and other practical skills. He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

HONOR: 0
FORCES: 2865 Total - General's Bodyguard, 20 Yari Cavalry, 50 Bow Samurai, 40 Yari Samurai, 600 Ashigaru Spears, 1000 Ashigaru Matchlocks.
FAMILY: Daphne, Oinishi Kenshu
ABILITIES:
[Merchantility] - Increased income and benefits from trading and income.
[Nanban Knowledge] - It is possible for you to try and negotiate, even trade, with the Nanban barbarians. You must own a coastal province to have this ability.
[Strategist] - +10 to attempts to gain the advantage before and during combat.
[Second Wind] - Fatigue penalties are lessened for your army. Requires Strategist.
[Drillmaster] = All ashigaru are now worth 1.5 Force
[Golden Cross] This gives morale and minor force bonuses when used in combat as a battle standard, but inflicts major penalties if captured or destroyed
AGENTS:
TRAITS: [The Lord Forgives] - You have converted wholeheartedly to Christianity and western ideals. This makes it easier for you to recruit Matchlocks, do trade with foreign powers, and possibly even recruit foreign warriors to fight by your side. However, due to having utterly turned your back on the old ways, you are permanently capped at 1 honor and diplomacy with non-Christian clans is exceedingly difficult. The Nanban also expect compensation for their services…
DIPLOMACY: [Trade: Otomo]

[Matchlock Makers]. These Japanese gunsmiths can create Matchlocks for your men to use, but they are, sadly, not of the best quality, and are in limited supply. Still, though, much is to be said about the awesome power of a gun…
[Wagon Technology], increasing your food output and trading capacity with the strange nanban-style wagons.

The Uesugi forces storm the Hitachi border, marching through wicker barricades, wooden walls and encountering the Daiki forces entrenched in a large fort. With a force comprised mostly of warrior monks, they fall quick and easy on their approach to the massed arrow fire that Daiki's raiders put out– his spears only see light engagement as the sohei close ranks and begin the carnage, though with extreme losses from the massed missile forces they fail to do much, lacking the raw momentum needed to succeed in their swarming mob tactics.
Daiki's cavalry take rather heavy losses as they move in amidst the carefully constructed roads and defenses to try and hit the exposed Uesugi flanks– Harukage's mounted archers tear them apart in a lethal game of keepaway, leaving the dead and dying bodies of both horse and rider strewn along the periphiery of the battlefield.
In short time, Kasai orders his men into a counter-charge, and it is a bloody one, for, heavily weakened as they are, Harukage's core of monks gives way, only to reveal that Harukage and his archers– as well as many of his less bloodied ashigaru– have began retreating back out of the province with their mounted bows covering their flanks. They see a lost battle for what it is– cracking the shell of Daiki's defenses and his overwhelming missile superiority is not a task he is suited for.

Hirushin allows his displeasure to show upon his face. He levies a baleful glare upon Rennyo for a moment, but then he closes his eyes and imagines the face of his son, and with that he steels himself for his next decision. Looking straight into the Ikko Ikki leaders face Hirushin responds.
"My beloved son is my entire world. He has grown into a brilliant heir and I could never be more proud of him as a man. His future is illustrious and under him, the people of Kaga would have rejoiced at his devoted leadership."
Hirushin pauses for but a moment, as he hesitates to say the next part. He soon resolves himself and speaks, his voice full of stoic determination.
"However, Rennyo, Kaga and it's people are even more important to me. You and your cult are a plague that seeks to suck the life from my beloved Kaga and I will never permit you to practice within it. You holding my son is the only reason your head has not yet been presented before me. I will allow you to flee out of Kaga, and I will even pay you a ransom, but I will never allow you to corrupt Kaga and its people. Make your choice, Rennyo. Kill my son and I will ensure that history remembers the Ikko Ikki as a cult of dishonorable madmen, or accept the ransom, free my son and flee from Kaga. These are the only choices before you.”

Rennyo stares down the lord of Kaga for a long while, his expression inscrutable beneath his flowing white prayer-scarf. His chin lifts once Hirushin delivers his ultimatum, and for a moment, there is hesitation in his eyes.
And then, thrusting his arm up high, he holds up the red sign of the war fan to his army and wheels his horse around, running with all his might back towards the safety of his own camp– which begins to sound war horns and drums.

The Ryuo forces from both sides of the mountain attempt to rush the ikko ikki camp and break through to the captured son. The arrows attempt to slay any who steps close to the captured son while the other horses slaughter a path to the boy. The troops are aware of takimasas plan to marry his sister to the boy and so know they need to save him as if he is their own Lord. The monks have many Spears and the price will be high but it is a necessary price.

“So be it…”
The Lord of Kaga rallies his men and gives his orders. The Bow Samurai will focus their fire upon Rennyo and Sachiko seeking to swiftly crush the Ikko Ikki’s morale. The Yari Samurai shall advance together with but slightly behind the Ashigaru Spears. The Yari cavalry shall wait for the infantry to clash and then they shall charge behind the Ikko Ikki’s line and slaughter their archers. As an additional objective Hirushin states that the man who saves his son shall have the eternal gratitude of the Einoishi family.
Hirushin marches behind the army surrounded by his bodyguard, he puts every fiber of his being into commanding his troops. The previous battle has helped him to grasp the basics, turning his battle theory into practical application. Now, the lord of Kaga braces himself for his ultimate trial and grasps at the small hope of saving his beloved son.

As Rennyo rides hard for the camp, Einoishi and his Ryuo allies move as one, swift on his heels. Volley after volley of arrows fall upon the fleeing Rennyo, and upon the camp, and in the whistling, lethal rain, all parties see Rennyo, in his mad ride up the side of the mountain, fall to Fumetsu arrows.
This would hearten the attackers, but they are quickly disheartened as the upward trek is filled with volley after disorganized volley from the ranks of the bow ashigaru atop the hill. Rennyo's feebly stirring body is pulled into the Ikko-Ikki encampment, which braces spears and forces the charging Ryuo forces to give pause. They push on regardless, though, eager to save the son of their newfound ally– and they pay heavy prices, for while they manage to punch through the panicked and disorganized lines, they take incredible losses having done so.
Einoishi's forces, though utterly meagre, manage to cut through their side of the spearwall with the aid of Nabamasa's troops, and surge into the disorganized camp. The battle devolves into a confused bloodbath of flying arrows, screaming monks, roaring samurai and whinnying horses as all three forces mash together on the hilltop encampment.
Einoishi is led by his guard through the bloody, corpse-strewn main "thoroughfare" of the camp, and they draw open the door to what was ostensibly Rennyo's tent. There, lying in a pool of blood, is Hiruishi, barely alive and stabbed clean through the stomach. The men rush to his aid and begin to tend to his wounds… but it will be a miracle if he survives the night, let alone the winter.
Einoishi storms out of his tent as the Ikko forces retreat down the side of the hill that Takimasa's cavalry had punched through; having taken severe losses, they wisely choose not to follow. What is left is a blood-soaked hilltop covered in ruined bodies and tattered rags.
Rennyo is found on a small protrusion on the tallest part of the hill, slumped over, dead, the broken arrow shafts still embedded in his form. Of his loyal warrior nun lieutenant there is no sign.

Winter, 1555. Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin have clashed again at Kawanakajima, again with no clear winner. Word spreads that the Uesugi have been weakened due to constant skirmishes with bandits out of Hitachi. The Takeda have solidifed their alliance with the Imagawa and the Hojo.
The Mori have siezed the province of Aki, in other news, while the Chosokabe are filled with outrage over the Shogunate's preoccupation with northern issues: namely, the skirmshes of the Takeda and Uesugi and the recent small defiances that the Imagawa have perpetrated towards the Shogun. The Chosokabe demand support, for their island is being siezed by a lesser clan, but the Shogunate will not respond…

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

Clan Fumetsu is a clan of architects and siege masters, their collective dream is to construct the greatest castle that japan has ever seen. Although the Clan is new and small their expertise in architecture and the art of siege can be seen all across Japan.
BACKGROUND:
Einoishi Fumetsu is the founder of his clan, and he is an architect and siege master at heart. Einoishi took part in the construction of many castles both famous and mundane all across Japan. Einoishi has accumulated his wealth and fame and used it to begin his own clan, although small, he will make certain that it flourishes. His dream is to lay the final brick into the greatest castle ever constructed.

ABILITIES:
[Architect] It is easier to build up and maintain infrastructure.
[Siegemaster] +10 to fighting siege battles. [Siegemaster]
AGENTS:
TRAITS:
[Prodigial Architect] - You are a renowned castle-builder. You gain a +5 to building and maintaining infrastructure and get a +5 when fighting siege battles on either side. However, your clan's very recent emergence means you have little respect in the eyes of many other clans. You take a penalty to certain diplomatic actions.
1. Einoishi, his wife Sakura and daughter Asami all stay close by Hirushin during his recovery. Their doctors say that Einoshi’s beloved son will be a cripple for his entire life. The lord of Kaga can clearly see how this news affects his son, a certain melancholy has befallen his son and this cannot be permitted to continue.
One winters night, the lord of Kaga visits his son by himself with the intention of setting back upon the proper path, turning his son’s horrible tribulation into a chance to temper him. Einoishi speaks plainly to his son at first.
“My son, you are still my heir and the future lord of Kaga, this is not going to change. There is an old saying, of civilize the mind, yet make savage the body. You can no longer do the latter, so you need simply excel in the former.”
The Lord of Kaga presents his son with various scrolls that teach lessons and give instruction on not only architecture, but military strategy, tactics, and how to rule. All of the information, besides architecture, is at an introductory level. The Lord of Kaga had carefully selected exactly what to give his son. These scrolls were but morsels to wet his appetite and make him desire more.
“You are very dear to me, Hirushin. I will help to aid you in any way I can for I know. More than any other I know of the greatness within you. This trouble with those maniacs will, in the end, be but a footnote in the historic mark you will leave upon Japan. You have always held potential, Hirushin. You need only to channel it.”
[Einoishi inspires his son in an attempt to inspire him to not give up and to try to become a great ruler and innovator]
2. As his son recovers Einoishi himself aids Hirushin in the final stages of his project. Though it is difficult, Hirushin manages to lay the final brick himself, with some assistance. Einoishi reminds himself to appoint competent aids to his son. Roads and Waystations 5/6
3. And, as always Einoishi continues his work upon the Iron Mines, with his son safety secured he can more readily focus upon them. Iron Mines 4/8

AGENTS:
N/A
TRAITS:
+ [Scholar Of War] - Your illness and frailty have given you much time to pore over theories and stratagems, and your own experience has given you a grip of iron. You gain a bonus to training martial-oriented abilities and a +5 to all battles; you also suffer lower chances of civil unrest due to your iron grip. However, your gruesome features and terrifying demeanor don't do you too many favors: you take a penalty to diplomatic actions, and your men are more easily bribed or coerced. Additionally, your frailty gives you a -20 to personal combat, and you have a lower chance of surviving battle wounds.
1. Very good. Sanuki is firmly within my control, and the preparations for a trading port with the westerners come along nicely. As I wait for envoys to return and relations to be established (An action sent not too long ago), I will personally oversee the successful construction of a grand trade port within Awa.
+ [Architect]
2. Additionally, as it is winter, it is currently a poor time to march on the Chosokabe, and to recruit. For the moment, I will build the strength of my current holdings. Soon, all of Shikoku will belong to the Awachi. For now, however, I will focus on improving my own domain through the building of a proper Shirou within Awa. A seat of proper governance, far better than my father ever had, will legitimize me and my rule over these lands - and, perhaps more importantly, provide a fortified base where I can coordinate military operations and establish a household guard.
+ [Architect]
3. Finally, I must go back to my training. My Ashigaru are effective, but there are many mistakes in their formations. Their logistics are inefficient, with such a simple ranking system as they have, and they are prone to slaughter by better trained troops. It would be inefficient to train them all to the level of a Samurai - instead, I will craft and institute far better, more structured logistics, and coordinate their group assaults into smaller, focused teams. Through this, the bulk of my force ought to be much improved.

The time has come. My army will follow my banner into what will soon be my lands. We will advance at speed to Bingo. When we arrive, we will break their army, and imprison their leadership for crimes against the Shogun, and the law of Nippon. When the Ashikaga are imprisoned, the rest of their lands will be ours to take. A courier will inform the Ashikaga that the war has begun, once our army is near to their lands. Speed and ruthlessness are of the essence. If we can hit the enemy hard, and fast enough, they'll be too busy formulating a respond to what I've done to be able to counter what I'm doing. The Inaba will kneel before me.

DAIMYO NAME: Oinishi Kenshu
CLAN: Oinishi of Bungo, Sister branch of the Konishi Clan of Higo
BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education. Kenshu traveled far and wide to the various schools of Japan, studying law, architecture, construction, and other practical skills. He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

However, while they are willing to trade with you, the other clans are not willing to trust you due to your relations with your gaijin-loving sister branch. You take a penalty to negotiating peace treaties, alliances and the like.

Spring, 1556. News stretches far and wide, across the land, of a serious slight against the Ashikaga Shogunate: the Imagawa have outright refused to send a delegate to the yearly courts. All clans are expected– though, as of yet, not forced– to decry such an act! How dare the Imagawa dogs defy the Shogunate!
You may spend one action before the end of Winter on rallying your constituents and populace against the bold-faced, piggish actions of the Imagawa. Your neighbors, and the Shogun, will notice if you don't…. for good or ill.

He continues to nurture entrepreneurs of the province those who trade with foreigners and who trade locally and gives patronage to a priest of both Christ and of Buddha to not lost sight of the wisdom that led his father's father to succeed and bring the clan to this honorable position and have some entertaing and at times heated discussions. He owns a foreign set of plate armor his father purchased at not too great an expense. If God Will it I will bring Him to Japan.
DOMAINS: Higo Level 1, Pink [Rice Paddies]
HONOR: 0
FORCES: 2932 Total - General's Bodyguard, 20 Yari Cavalry, 50 Bow Samurai, 40 Yari Samurai, 600 Ashigaru Spears, 1045 Ashigaru Matchlocks.
FAMILY: Daphne, Oinishi Kenshu
ABILITIES:
[Merchantility] - Increased income and benefits from trading and income.
[Nanban Knowledge] - It is possible for you to try and negotiate, even trade, with the Nanban barbarians. You must own a coastal province to have this ability.
[Strategist] - +10 to attempts to gain the advantage before and during combat.
[Second Wind] - Fatigue penalties are lessened for your army. Requires Strategist.
[Drillmaster] = All ashigaru are now worth 1.5 Force
[Golden Cross] This gives morale and minor force bonuses when used in combat as a battle standard, but inflicts major penalties if captured or destroyed
AGENTS:
TRAITS: [The Lord Forgives] - You have converted wholeheartedly to Christianity and western ideals. This makes it easier for you to recruit Matchlocks, do trade with foreign powers, and possibly even recruit foreign warriors to fight by your side. However, due to having utterly turned your back on the old ways, you are permanently capped at 1 honor and diplomacy with non-Christian clans is exceedingly difficult. The Nanban also expect compensation for their services…

EARLY SPRING, 1556. BATTLE OF TANGO-INABA.
INABA CHIKAYOSHI vs YAMATO KATATAKE
YAMATO KATATAKE: 3,908.5 TOTAL General's Bodyguard - 15 F, 20 Yari Cavalry - 120 F, 84 Yari Samurai - 336 F, 130 Bow Samurai - 520 F, 955 Ashigaru Spears - 1432.5 F, 630 Ashigaru bows - 945 F, 80 katana samurai - 320 F, 28 chariots - 200 F, 2 Fire Projecting Mangonels - 20 F.

INABA CHIKAYOSHI: 3115 TOTAL General's Bodyguard, 100 Katana Cavalry, 100 Yari Cavalry, 200 Katana Samurai, 200 Bow Samurai, 300 Ashigaru Spears. CAVALRY ADVANTAGE: NEGATED BY SPEARS/POSITIONING. +10 COMMANDER. MORALE: EAGER.
99 + 10 + 2
111 TOTAL
111 VS 138
The Yamato light their fire arrows and begin to torch the Inaba encampment, seemingly forcing the sleeping soldiers there out into the open– however, your men note that there are not nearly as many soldiers as there should be for an encampment of this size, and though the spare tents mean that it will burn that much faster, where are the rest of their men?
This question is answered when a Cavalry charge comes hurtling down from the eastern hills, and they're backed by the other half of the Inaba infantry– both forces begin closing in under a blistering hail of arrows both hastily made and pre-constructed.
The Yamato, however, are ready; working in complete sync, thanks to months of drilling, the ashigaru ranks move into place and set up a spearwall just as the cavalry make their charge– the steepness of the hill meant that they could go nowhere else. The air is quickly filled with the screams of men and horses as the cavalry plows through the first few ranks before being bogged down and slaughtered. The Inaba force from the camp is broken and jumbled by charges from the strange chariots, though many of said charioteers find themselves simply cut down by Inaba arrows. The chariots wheel around for another go as the main bodies of the two forces meet, fighting on and around the skewered, disemboweled bodies of horses and their samurai riders.
It's a grim affair, but, before long, it is over: the Yamato siege engines, kept safe thanks to the spear-wall, land an almost direct hit on the Inaba general's bodyguard, wounding him. They have no choice but to sound the retreat, and they do so, leaving behind mountains of dead and a victorious Yamato force!
YAMATO: LOSE 8 CHARIOTS. LOSE 250 ASHIGARU SPEARS. LOSE 180 ASHIGARU BOWS. LOSE 20 BOW SAMURAI. LOSE 8 YARI SAMURAI.
YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY BEATEN BACK THE INABA ARMY, WHICH IS ON ITS WAY TO THE CAPITAL– AND CAN BE CAUGHT NEXT TURN IF YOU MARCH YOUR MEN RAGGED.

The same man you have been warring with is at the head of the army in the capital; one of Kenshin's sons is at the head of the other army. With a Takeda presence at the border, also moving south, it is unlikely that the Uesugi will be leaving the capital undefended anytime soon.

Summer, 1556. The Hattori, Yamato, Oinishi, Konishi, Chosokabe, Uesugi, Matsu, and Date clans have all issued scathing rebuttals of the Imagawa's behavior.
The Tokugawa, Takeda, Hojo, Saito, Hatakeyama and Mori all, with varying levels of tact and aggression, defend the Imagawa's brutish actions. This has led to war, in fact, only miles from Kyoto, as the Hattori sieze upon the chance to expand by attacking the Hatakeyama.
The Shimazu, for their part, have flat out refused to give a decision one way or another. The Otomo and Oda remain silent.
The Ashikaga themselves are reluctant to actually encourage war, however, for doing so risks offending the most powerful alliance of clans in Japan…

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

CLAN: Oinishi of Bungo, Sister branch of the Konishi Clan of Higo
BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education. Kenshu traveled far and wide to the various schools of Japan, studying law, architecture, construction, and other practical skills. He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

FAMILY: Daphne, Oinishi Kenshu
ABILITIES:
[Merchantility] - Increased income and benefits from trading and income.
[Nanban Knowledge] - It is possible for you to try and negotiate, even trade, with the Nanban barbarians. You must own a coastal province to have this ability.
[Strategist] - +10 to attempts to gain the advantage before and during combat.
[Second Wind] - Fatigue penalties are lessened for your army. Requires Strategist.
[Drillmaster] = All ashigaru are now worth 1.5 Force
[Golden Cross] This gives morale and minor force bonuses when used in combat as a battle standard, but inflicts major penalties if captured or destroyed
AGENTS:
TRAITS: [The Lord Forgives] - You have converted wholeheartedly to Christianity and western ideals. This makes it easier for you to recruit Matchlocks, do trade with foreign powers, and possibly even recruit foreign warriors to fight by your side. However, due to having utterly turned your back on the old ways, you are permanently capped at 1 honor and diplomacy with non-Christian clans is exceedingly difficult. The Nanban also expect compensation for their services…
DIPLOMACY: [Trade: Otomo]

[Matchlock Makers]. These Japanese gunsmiths can create Matchlocks for your men to use, but they are, sadly, not of the best quality, and are in limited supply. Still, though, much is to be said about the awesome power of a gun…
[Wagon Technology], increasing your food output and trading capacity with the strange nanban-style wagons.
[State Orphanage]! Now it will serve as a place to teach and nurture those children bereft of their parents through war or sickness. While uneasy about the Gaijin tint to the whole thing, your peers cannot deny your selflessness.

1/2. Quarry 6/8. As the year marches onward, the work on the Quarry expands further and further…
3. Hyuga is currently ruled by the Ito, who have grown weak and desperate after continuous warring and fighting with the powerful Satsuma to the south. They are united only in their disdain for the Shogunate and for their Nanban-loving northern neighbors, and ruled by Ito Yoshisuke, a warlike man possessed of a hearty heir by the name of Suketaka. Their fortifications are strong, but their armies and grain stores are exhausted from the unending tide of Shimazu assault. They refuse to deign with you and your men, but, apparantly, there is a not insubstantial number of Christians living in oppression within the province of Ito… and it is likely that they will be more than eager to see a change of hands, especially one that is more welcoming of the word of the Lord…
That all the Ito's strength is focused on holding the Shimazu back is beyond fortuitous, or so your man Joshu advises you.

1. You have finished your [Sake Brewery], and can now export large quantities of alcohol, as well as providing such libations dirt-cheap to your own people. Surely, they will be quite happy with this…
2. Pottery Maker 5/6. All that remains to be done is find more experienced workers for the complex and you can then make your wares.
3. Ichihisa lays before you a map: the Hatakeyama, firmly entrenched in the provinces bordering Kyoto, have a stranglehold on the export and import of silk. Musashi, which has been claimed by the Uesugi and is now the site of warring between themselves and the mighty Takeda, was the single biggest exporter of silk but has now had its trade output drastically reduced by multiple raids. The Chosokabe -had- a silk growing operation underway that was razed by the rebels out of Sanuki.
It is likely that you may be able to appeal to the Chosokabe– who have very much worn out their welcome in the courts and are still in need of aid– by offering them leverage or supplies. You would otherwise be able to marry into the good graces of the Hatakeyama, but the lack of daughters or sons you possess means that this is a nigh impossibility, and the Hatakeyama are in no position of political weakness. The Uesugi may be willing to cut you some measure of silkworms and some people who are skilled in sericulture for less than a marriage, for doing so would weaken the tight hold the Hatakeyama have, but Ichihisa has no idea what they may want in return. Then there is the Nanban trade to be had with the Goto islands in the Korea Strait– but the Otomo have an absolute monopoly on that, and it would take much ingratiating to get them to let you in on the trade, which, by the way, will only grant you the finished product.
Five options, then, lie in front of you. Try to squeeze the Chosokabe for what silkworm stocks they have left. Find a way to get in good graces with the Hatakeyama. Bargain with the Uesugi for some of their stores. Petition the Otomo to let you trade silks in the Goto Islands. Or, most daringly, try to directly petition the Shogun, who can easily force any of the above clans to relinquish some of their stocks so that you may start your own silk farms.

1. Trading Port 7/10. More moorings are built and the layout of the various warehouses and storage locations are finalized.
2. Shiro Awachi 10/12. Soon, your castle will tower above your domain, a sign of your absolute strength and power.
3. A grim day dawns as you awaken to a report of continued insurrection and unrest within Sanuki. Angered at the constant drilling and practicing, some of your Ashigaru have left with the equipment given to them and started causing trouble throughout the countryside. Squashing them should be a trivial matter, but if such piggish behavior is left to fester…

1. Your men get you an exotic pet, alright. You stride out of your tent to behold a bear cub, scarred and tied up with rope. They found this little guy being sold at a black market out of Hokkaido, and soon, given the proper diet, he will grow into a massive terror!
Gain Bear Cub. You can name him as you wish. It will take him a year to mature into a flesh-rending terror of a beast, but since he's so young, you can make sure he views you as… not food.
2. Yon and Bayushi leave. Yon returns several weeks later as your march is underway, and informs you that the Uesugi are planning a pincer move, and had expected you to hunt the reinforcements down. You ask for Bayushi and the status of their mission, but he merely smiles.
3. You march out to fight the reinforcements, and, soon, you come face-to-face with them. And you also come back-to-face with the Uesugi army out of the capital, which has come to crush you like the villainous insect you are. Fortunately for you, they are led by a highly inexperienced commander… for their general and his advisors have all been quietly assassinated days prior.
>>34700
1. Military Port 9/10. Alas! Only a single dock remains to be put on your port– but your men insist that, without it, the Kami may be offended by declaring the port "operational" ahead of schedule…
2. The summer goes by, and your peasants, unfortunately, are too busy mulling about in the muggy heat to do… -anything-.
3. Apparantly, Nobuyuki had erred in personally showing up to assist the Quarry's construction. The entirety of the peasant workforce busies themselves with making sure he and his retinue are refreshed, safe, and properly taken care of, and though some of the Ashigaru commit to assisting, the Samurai flatly refuse to stoop to such level, even risking the threat of ordered seppuku to do so!
In the end, work stalls on the Quarry…

1. Hiruishi seems to respond well to the visit from Einoishi's sensei, reinvigorated somewhat by his tutelage and inspirational words. For now, the boy remains somewhat gloomy, but, at last, focused on the task at hand: building up the clan's glory.
2. Gain 50 Firebomb Throwers. +250 Force.
3. The Fumetsu peasantry get to work on the mines, toiling away day after day. However, one blustery morning, their work is rudely interrupted by a great rumbling and trembling beneath the earth.
Suddenly, the half-finished tunnels of the mine cave in as an earthquake strikes, and many peasants are killed, if not by the cave-in then also by the accompanying landslides, fissures and urban devastation that comes with the earth's trembling.
When the dust settles, it seems that there is work to be done on the mines– they have suffered quite the setback.
But worse. Some of Kaga's peasants and lower class view the earthquake as a sign from the heavens– punishing them for straying from the Ikko faith. Your carefully laid propaganda seems to show cracks just as the earth does, and word reaches you of another resurgence of militant Ikko.

Fall, 1556. Devastation abound as an earthquake strikes central Honshu, devastating Kaga and causing quite the uproar throughout the region.
The Otomo have voiced their disapproval of the Imagawa, perhaps, some have theorized, just to irk the Mori. The Oda finally give their piece as well: they, too, condemn the Imagawa, drawing the direct ire of the clan in question and their directly neighboring vassals. The issue of Imagawa impudence has borne at least some bloody fruit: the lord of the Saito has been killed by his adopted son at Nagaragawa, and Saito Yoshitatsu declares his absolute disgust with the Imagawa and their policies.
In more pleasant news, blue kimonos are now hot fashion.

At the head of one army is Uesugi Kagename, unique among Kenshin's sons for being the only one that is not adopted, for both Kagetora and Kagekatsu are. This one is bristling with warrior monks hungry for bandit blood.
At the head of the other army is Tooyama Kisabuji, a middling samurai who has been forced into taking leadership. Nagao Harukage is dead– the ninja, Bayushi, appears before his master with the man's severed head. His other officers have also met the same fate, and, in response, this second army– primarily composed of samurai– is near mutinous.

>DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
>CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
>BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

DAIMYO NAME: Matsu Noritaka
CLAN: The Ashikaga Shogunate have returned to their place of power. Great splendor and power are theirs. Still the overmighty clans do not obey. The time has come once again for a new warlord to become Shogun, but who will be victorious. Matsu lands have always provided for our people, our enemies are many and envious, they threaten our borders and look for any weakness. The honor of a Matsu is never in question, unyielding in battle and out they stand firm as the mighty oak. Their skills in swordsmanship are unquestioned and few survive a duel with a Matsu samurai. Let other clans use paltry tricks and frivolous novelties, the Matsu shall forever embody the spirit of the sword. Bishamonten, the war god, Awakes once more, now is the time to defeat our enemies. All will bow to the Matsu clan, we wait no longer. Destiny Calls!
BACKGROUND: Matsu Noritaka was raised as every heir of the Matsu clan was raised, with sword in hand and training every day since he could speak. With the concept of honor and swordsmanship drilled into him from a young age he has grown into being an exemplary leader of the Matsu people. When he was 15 he fought and won an honor duel against his own brother who grew jealous of his status as heir and his betrothed. As with all duels of the Matsu clan it ended in the death of his brother. With the return of the Shogunate and the stirrings once more of war Noritaka has decided that he has had enough of the Matsu clan being forced to bow to the whim of the Ashikaga, the honorless dogs will bow to the Matsu, as will every clan.

DAIMYO NAME: Oinishi Kenshu
CLAN: Oinishi of Bungo, Sister branch of the Konishi Clan of Higo
BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education. Kenshu traveled far and wide to the various schools of Japan, studying law, architecture, construction, and other practical skills. He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

In their dire situation they may try to harry my supply line to stall me or to feed their own soldiers so I must envision the road's points where we could be ambushed and mark them on my map as regions of risk and inform my officers of the possibility so they can take preparations of their own.
The oppressed Christians and common folk will no doubt be feeling lean providing grain for their Warlord and enduring the Winter so we should trade with Oinishi for some Grain and Grain Seed that we can use to feed Hyuga for a season and win their hearts to God's cause. Guns for Grain. If we secure enough then we should also increase the portions of our soldier's rations during the campaign.
I expect this to come to a siege for a number of apparent reasons. I should starve them out and employ Joshu to spread some demoralizing text to encourage the Ito soldiers to desert the army.

Brother I write to you now that I have plans to fulfill my military ambitions in the coming Spring and hope you can aid my trade and preparations. Congratulations are in order as I hear your pottery has surpassed even the Chinese and Korean artisans I hope to get some pots for Christmas.
I wonder if by diplomacy if you could sow confusion in the Hyuga Ito court for they have man faults.
3 Research Supply Line Defense Strategy. With our nanban wagons I believe I can invest some bow samurai, guns and defensive equipment inside the wagons where they can have cover and sight of any attacks and still fit a sufficient amount of supplies.

"Brother, I can assure you you will be one of the first persons to recieve a gift of porcelain from myself.
More importantly, I intend to supply you with food and your men some Sake, that should raise their spirits before a battle. The gift of guns is most welcome.
>I accept this trade of additional Guns for some of my excess Rice
More than guns brother, I am interested in military assistance. Particularly, I wish to study your Nanban style Wagons myself that my own forces might use them. I hear the Nanban have learned how to even used them to strengthen the force of their Ashigaru.
Have you noticed something about the Nanban? I had been studying their history for some time now. There is a shift in the Nanban in a much heavier and intelligent use of Ashigaru among them.
In older times, the clans of the Nanban relied on their armored Samurai, "Knights" as they called them, who also fought with honor and bravery for their lords. There was a great battle in a land known as "Agincourt", 100 years ago, where the Nanban used well trained Bow and Spear Ashigaru to defeat a larger force of Samurai. Since that day, the Nanban no longer rely solely on their Samurai but on highly trained and disciplined Ashigaru, and develop new tactics and strategies based on their massed numbers.
Perhaps, Nippon is due for its own Agincourt. But when and where and by whom it will happen I cannot say. I can only say that, when that time comes, I hope I might rely on you as a capable commander for our combined, and that I might provide provisions and supplies for such a time."

THE BATTLE OF THE HENJO TRAIL, EARLY FALL, 1556, KASAI DAIKI VS UESUGI KAGENAME AND TOOYAMA KISABUJI
KISABUJI'S ARMY - 3,025 TOTAL General's Bodyguard, 200 Yari Samurai, 300 Katana Samurai, 200 Yumi Samurai, 100 Ashigaru Spears, 100 Ashigaru Bows. DISPOSITION: WAVERING
KAGENAME'S ARMY - 4,625 TOTAL General's Bodyguard, 50 Sword Cavalry, 300 Naginata Sohei, 300 Yumi Sohei, 500 Ashigaru Spears, 500 Ashigaru Bows. DISPOSITION: EAGER
UNITED UESUGI ARMY: OVERWHELMING FORCE ADVANTAGE, MINOR CAVALRY ADVANTAGE
KASAI'S ARMY - TOTAL 3,228 - General's Bodyguard, 8 Katana Calvary, 10 Yari Cavalry, 1,565 Ashigaru Spears, 600 Ashigaru Bows, 180 Katana Ronin, 130 Yumi Ronin. MINOR NUMBERS ADVANTAGE. DISPOSITION: EAGER
27 - 6 + 2 + 3 + 12
38 TOTAL
85 + 5 + 2 + 2
94 TOTAL
94 versus 38
The raider forces are certainly shocked to see Uesugi banners bearing down on them from both sides; however, they follow their warlord's commands dutifully for he has yet to lead them astray.
The ragtag force of cavalry and ronin move south and smash into the vanguard of Tooyama's men, while the overwhelming number of spears that Daiki possesses set up a mighty spearwall upon which Kagename's forces break. Though the monks are certainly more skilled than the peasantry, they are too many and their disorganized mob style of fighting does them few favors. Worse, the volume of Kasai's archery fire whittles their ranks and tears apart their own supporting archer volleys.
The battle, as per usual, quickly turns to a bloody slog, with Daiki striking in and out of Tooyama's flanks with his cohort of cavalry. The inexperienced man simply cannot keep up– many of his samurai begin retreating from the field before being swept up into the engagement with the ronin, and take their ashigaru with him. It isn't long before Tooyama charges Kasai himself, and stands little chance– the bandit raider neatly severs his head from his shoulders as he rides on past. The smaller Uesugi army crumbles.
With that, Daiki urges the full force of his men to push out against and enflank the now bloodied Uesugi sohei, who, to their credit, fight like lions, cutting down men with vicious sweeps of their naginata and precise close-range bow shots. It simply isn't enough, however, and to cut his losses, Kagename orders a retreat to better ground, sacrificing many of his bowmen to lay down covering fire for a bloody, hasty retreat…
KASAI DAIKI: lose 400 Ashigaru Spears. Lose 200 Ashigaru Bows. Lose 30 Katana Ronin. Lose 30 Yumi Ronin.
Gain [Excess Equipment].
As a free action this turn you may roll an extra 1d100 to attempt to sway some of the now-renegade Uesugi samurai from Tooyama's army to your side.

DAIMYO NAME:
Einoishi Fumetsu
CLAN:
Clan Fumetsu is a clan of architects and siege masters, their collective dream is to construct the greatest castle that japan has ever seen. Although the Clan is new and small their expertise in architecture and the art of siege can be seen all across Japan.
BACKGROUND:
Einoishi Fumetsu is the founder of his clan, and he is an architect and siege master at heart. Einoishi took part in the construction of many castles both famous and mundane all across Japan. Einoishi has accumulated his wealth and fame and used it to begin his own clan, although small, he will make certain that it flourishes. His dream is to lay the final brick into the greatest castle ever constructed.

ABILITIES:
[Architect] It is easier to build up and maintain infrastructure.
[Siegemaster] +10 to fighting siege battles. [Siegemaster]
AGENTS:
TRAITS:
[Prodigial Architect] - You are a renowned castle-builder. You gain a +5 to building and maintaining infrastructure and get a +5 when fighting siege battles on either side. However, your clan's very recent emergence means you have little respect in the eyes of many other clans. You take a penalty to certain diplomatic actions.
1.
Einoishi does not delay even a second, he and his retainers fly into action to block the Ikko Ikkis reemergence. It must bet their female hero, back again for vengeance. She should have fled when she had the chance.
Einoishi immediately gives an address to the peasantry, reinforcing his established propaganda of how the Ikko Ikki faith is inherently flawed and seeks to leech upon the vibrant life force of Kaga to sustain itself.
Einoishi affirms that should the heavens truly seek a form of divine retribution then they would deliver upon Einoishi himself, not the peasantry. They did not decided to remove the Ikko Ikki, the Fumetsu Clan has.
If the heavens had truly desired Kaga to be under Ikko Ikki control then the Ikko Ikki would have won the Battle of Nano, simple as that. The earthquake that has beset the mines is nothing more than another tragedy that seeks to challenge our beloved Kaga.
The Ikko Ikki believe that they can use this tragedy to strengthen themselves, now they we are weakened they seek once more to infest Kaga with their filth, to taint us with their lies. I beg you, my people, do not succumb to the Ikko Ikkis manipulation. Do not allow them to corrupt Kaga.
Einoishi has his statement and many like it dispensed to the peasantry all throughout Kaga. Calling upon his people to reject the Ikko Ikki and remain true to Kaga.
2. Meanwhile Einoishi buffs up his miltray once again, focusing this time upon his Bow Samurai.
3. Lastly, Einoishi works closely with his Sensei and his son upon the Iron Mines. Having learned his lesson, he will endeavor to keep them close. The guard for his wife and daughter have also been doubled.
Iron Mines 3/8

DAIMYO NAME: Kasai Daiki
CLAN: Kasai is no true clan but instead a band of rabble gathered by Kasai Daiki a ruthless bandit lord who holds claim Hitachi province. Known for their lightning fast raids and ruthless tactics they are a rising problem in the north of Japan.
BACKGROUND: Kasai Daiki was born in an insignificant village long destroyed in a past war which helped shape him into the man he is today. Destitute and starving would be the simple ways to describe his childhood as he struggled to stay alive at the bottom of society. Daiki was not content to live a life of a beggar and eventually joined a mercenary group fighting in the many petty conflicts that littered Japan. He eventually rose through a combination of force of personality and combat skill to become leader of the little company. He however had different ideas on the work they should do and in no time set himself up as a petty warlord in the Hitachi Province.

1/2. The beleaguered defenders of Musashi hold up behind their walls, ready to fight to the death… but their chances are pitiful, for they face the emboldened, enraged fury of the Kasai raiders…

1. Einoishi's rallying speeches and pleadings sway some of the peasants and turn the tide against the burgeoning fires of Ikko Ikki insurrection… but with winter settling in, word on the would-be insurrectionists trickles to a standstill, and Einoishi is, mostly, left in the dark. It is likely that the Ikko have lost a not insubstantial base of recruitment… but will that stop them?
2. Gain 190 Bow Samurai. +760 Force.
3. Iron Mines 7/8.Work on the mines speeds ahead, for the workers, inspired by Einoishi's speech, are dauntless and eager to undo the damage and help their province flourish.

1. As you finish the pottery maker, you receive word that the Nanban have sent a surprise visitor: a nobleman from afar who has heard many things about your Nipponese goods. Seeing a possible avenue of sale, you show him to your humble pottery-crafter, allowing him to see the care and caution put into each bowl, pot and bottle.
The nobleman is enraptured. Tears nearly spring to his eyes, for, so your translator says, he has never seen craftsmanship of such beauty and care. This glory must be spread to the rest of the world, to his people, to the far western land of Europe. He reaches to clasp your hands before remembering where he is, bowing deeply.
"Trade with I these pottery-things," he says, in shaky Japanese, "Ask any, any you want, or need, all me ask is that I can buy your goods."
Gain [Renowned Potterymakers].
You may accept his deal or not as a free action; accepting means you will have almost nothing to trade with the rest of Japan, but news of your goods– of Japan's craftsmanship– will spread throughout the world, far beyond the horizon…
2/3. The Chosokabe's own farms have yet to recover. Bitterly, their daimyo, Chosokabe Motochika, accepts your offer, for it is not as if they have the time to raise silkworms anyway. When you ask for trained personnel, you see his throat twitch as if he bites back a hearty laugh, and, with poise and dignity, he simply replies that supplying you with people is something he cannot do.
Gain [Silkworms]. You'll need to construct a Silk Farm to make any use of them, and your lack of sericulturalists will make this a lengthy process.
>>35158
1/2. Your scouts return with a detailed map of the best inroads and passes through the mountains and forests, which areas are likely to flood, which areas will almost undoubtedly stay dry. Joshu, though acquired and rescued, is unable to rally any disctontents. The Christian population of the province, too, is afraid to act out without any actual military presence…
The Ito, though, are becoming increasingly wary. They suspect something.
3. The fine art of protecting your supply lines is being mastered.
Anti-Sabotage Tactics 1/8
>>35112
1/2. Perhaps this was -not- the right time for the Matsu to try making a comeback. Angered by your inaction, many of your Samurai– and your would-be recruits– defect, and within mere weeks a rebellion, one not supported by the peasants, has formed in the more backwater areas of your province. Great shame is yours– but it can be cleansed if you slaughter these disloyal pigs!
Lose 70 Katana Samurai. Lose 30 Bow Samurai.
3. Your recruitment drive falls flat, for the "rebels" have unceremoniously razed the roads and paths. No men can be mustered to the training grounds…
>>35048
1/2/3. With vigor and fury the Yamato overtake the Inaba just a few miles away from their capitol. Though both sides are tired, the Yamato forces shake off some of their fatigue and prepare to deliver the killing stroke to their Inaba foes, just as the snows begin to fall and the nights begin to lengthen…

3. Katsuo musters his forces and, with characteristic brutality and swiftness, dismantles many of the "leaders" of this so-called "rebellion," razing villages and slaughtering traitorous individuals in their sleep. All that remains are ragtags, who have fled into Chosokabe lands…

Winter, 1556. War erupts across the country as the Saito hammer out a rebellion, the backwater Matsu erupt into revolt, Musashi is turned into a bandit-fueled bloodbath, and violence streaks Western Honshu. The Imagawa are not cowed by the constant and steady disapproval from the other clans, for their immediate neighbors- save the meagre Oda– are strong and approving. Such bravado, many say, is unbecoming… but, at least, the land has the length of Winter before the heaviest of fighting breaks out…

DAIMYO NAME: Matsu Noritaka
CLAN: The Ashikaga Shogunate have returned to their place of power. Great splendor and power are theirs. Still the overmighty clans do not obey. The time has come once again for a new warlord to become Shogun, but who will be victorious. Matsu lands have always provided for our people, our enemies are many and envious, they threaten our borders and look for any weakness. The honor of a Matsu is never in question, unyielding in battle and out they stand firm as the mighty oak. Their skills in swordsmanship are unquestioned and few survive a duel with a Matsu samurai. Let other clans use paltry tricks and frivolous novelties, the Matsu shall forever embody the spirit of the sword. Bishamonten, the war god, Awakes once more, now is the time to defeat our enemies. All will bow to the Matsu clan, we wait no longer. Destiny Calls!
BACKGROUND: Matsu Noritaka was raised as every heir of the Matsu clan was raised, with sword in hand and training every day since he could speak. With the concept of honor and swordsmanship drilled into him from a young age he has grown into being an exemplary leader of the Matsu people. When he was 15 he fought and won an honor duel against his own brother who grew jealous of his status as heir and his betrothed. As with all duels of the Matsu clan it ended in the death of his brother. With the return of the Shogunate and the stirrings once more of war Noritaka has decided that he has had enough of the Matsu clan being forced to bow to the whim of the Ashikaga, the honorless dogs will bow to the Matsu, as will every clan.

1. Lord Einoishi looks out over the cold landscape of Kaga, normally the beautiful sight of a snow laden Kaga would set him at ease and refresh his mind, however, with the Ikko Ikki cultists attempting to worm their way into his beloved land ocne again, Einoishi can know no rest.
The Lord of Kaga issues another speech ,carefully outlying the ill effects of the Ikko Ikki faith, and denouncing the religion as a spiritual parasite upon the fine people of Kaga, however, more importantly Einoishi begins posting bounties for information leading to the arrest of Ikko Ikki cultists. Lord Einoishi shall be certain to reward his heard working and loyal citizens. As an additional bonus, anyone who can bring Einoishi information that leads to the arrest of the Ikko Ikki’s female hero shall be made into a retainer of Kaga.
Lord Einoishi makes it a point to warn his men to take all tips with a grain of salt, for we never know when the vile Ikko Ikki may attempt an ambush. Each investigator must approach each tip with caution and keep records of who gives these tips. No investigator is allowed to attempt an arrest by themselves.
2. Although the lord of Kaga is tirelessly working to uproot the Ikko Ikki he has not forgotten about his recovering son, Einoishi makes a point to check in on his son as well as his former teacher. Lord Einoishi puts on a reassuring face, determined to not allow his stress and fatigue bleed over into his son’s recuperation. Einoishi asks his son if there are any study materials or anything else that he desires. Einoishi also speaks with his teacher to ask how his heir’s recuperation is going.
3. Lord Einoishi is most pleased with the progress being made upon the iron mines. Accompanied by his entourage of bodyguards and a small contingent of Samurai Einoishi visits the constructions site to assist its completion in any way he can, as well as to personally congratulate the workers.

3. Send a letter to the Chosokabe informing them that they harbor a rebel faction under their banner, and that we demand they utilize their military to hunt out what remains of the men within their lands. This presents them a particularly disastrous situation; either they waste a great deal of resources scouring and burning their own land to my satisfaction, or they refuse, granting me a valid Casus Bellum and bringing them grave dishonor upon the publication of their refusal - thereby allowing me to unite the Island and bringing a good deal of upstanding Samurai looking for a cause to my banner with it.
Of course, I'm going to take his lands soon enough either way, and I will look honorable doing so regardless. There is nothing these rebels could have done more to my benefit than flee into the arms of the Chosokabe.

[Merchantility] - Increased income and benefits from trading and income.

[Drillmaster] = All ashigaru are now worth 1.5 Force
[Golden Cross] This gives morale and minor force bonuses when used in combat as a battle standard, but inflicts major penalties if captured or destroyed
AGENTS:
TRAITS: [The Lord Forgives] - You have converted wholeheartedly to Christianity and western ideals. This makes it easier for you to recruit Matchlocks, do trade with foreign powers, and possibly even recruit foreign warriors to fight by your side. However, due to having utterly turned your back on the old ways, you are permanently capped at 1 honor and diplomacy with non-Christian clans is exceedingly difficult. The Nanban also expect compensation for their services…
DIPLOMACY: [Trade: Otomo]
Higakamina Joshu, Courtier
[Matchlock Makers]. These Japanese gunsmiths can create Matchlocks for your men to use, but they are, sadly, not of the best quality, and are in limited supply. Still, though, much is to be said about the awesome power of a gun…
[Wagon Technology], increasing your food output and trading capacity with the strange nanban-style wagons.
[State Orphanage]! Now it will serve as a place to teach and nurture those children bereft of their parents through war or sickness. While uneasy about the Gaijin tint to the whole thing, your peers cannot deny your selflessness.

DAIMYO NAME: Oinishi Kenshu
CLAN: Oinishi of Bungo, Sister branch of the Konishi Clan of Higo
BACKGROUND: Son of a wealthy merchant in Higo province, where as his eldest brother took up the family name and business of becoming a merchant, Kenshu realized he had to help his family in a separate way.
Every successful merchant family had this advantage, suucessful integration with law and politics and someone with a good education. Kenshu traveled far and wide to the various schools of Japan, studying law, architecture, construction, and other practical skills. He even studied abroad for a time at the behest of his brother, learning how to make foreign siege equipment and fortifications.
Gifted with knowledge from two worlds, he worked hard and loyally for the family of the Bungo province, building up the region, earning a reputation of being hardworking and knowledgeable. He earned the favor of the local Lord who had no brother or sons to his own, until he was named his heir on his deathbed. Now Lord of his own clan, Kenshu seeks to bring prosperity for the families of both himself and his brother, and plans to use his skills as a law scholar to good effect ensuring trade with the Nanban Barbarians goes unhindered.
Kenshu is known to have a love of infrastructure and reading, and it is said in his home he has a vast library of scrolls and even foreign books, as well as a small model of the Bungo Castle.

1-2. "My lord, I graciously provide you our goods. I would have but this humble request. I ask of thee not gold, nor jewels, but something more precious than them:
Knowledge
I would ask of thee to send here to japan a group of learned men of Nanban. Linguists and writers, historians and artists, craftsmen and men of talent. I seek to establish a better understanding of Nippon to Nanban, and for myself to better understand of Nanban. That in this world there exist learned men who speak Nanban and Nippon fluently, and have lived and understood both.
I already have a dwelling place prepared for them, you have seen it. I believe the exchange of knowledge between our peoples, to learn and be taught from one another, worth more than a mountain of gold."
Meanwhile, I myself send out letters to the Shogun and the learned men and scholars of Japan informing them of this noble cultural exchange of ideas. I invite as many of them who are knowledgeable seek to learn about the world beyond to come under my employ (and supervision) to join in this endeavor.
[The Merchant Lord]
[Law Scholar] - +2 to diplomatic relations

DAIMYO NAME: Akakawatani Nobuyuki
CLAN: The Akakawatani is one of the numerous clans of 16th century Japan, with a number of samurai and Ashigaru in their employ. The current head of the clan, Daimyo Nobuyuki, seeks to restore his clan to the glory it once held before its crushing defeat in the Ōnin War, where its lands were razed and seized as the then Daimyo sat in a siege in Aki. Now, finally able to marshal but a fraction of their old strength, they seek to rebuild, and to take vengeance on those who betrayed them.
BACKGROUND: Raised in a castle from the young age, and taught in the ways of politics and intrigue by his father, Akakawatani Nobu. He was sent to Edo at the age of 15, where he met a friend he would cherish for the rest of his life. This bear of a man, the same age as Nobuyuki , hailed from a far off land known as "Scotland" and when he talked, it sounded like a cannonade going off. There time in Edo was spent as guards for Nobuyuki's two sisters, in the city for a courting event with a southern clan, which promised to bring much wealth to the family, along with a few political ones as well. Unfortunately, a rival clan which desired the southern clan's male for their own daughter sought fit to kill the other women in the Heir's life. It was a daring attack in broad daylight as the young lady went to a supposed rendezvous with the young lordling, only to be beset on all sides by a group of ronin payed to end her life. In the end, the household guards were slaughtered to a man, with only Nobuyuki and the Scotsman still standing. The ronin laid dead in the streets, and due to the nature of the attack, Nobuyuki's father saw fit to recall his children from the city, he'd rather risk offending the southern clan then having no children to offer any clan. This was Nobuyuki's first taste of violence, but it would not be his last. Devils from the North, the Nanban barbarians, desired what little wealth the Akakawatani clan possessed, and for much of Nobuyuki's early 20's, he was fighting the savages side by side with his father, until the fateful day he died, not by the barbarians, but by the errant shot of a Clan Yabusame. Now we stand poised at the current date, Nobuyuki only taking the title of Daimyo a few months ago, and the country tetters on the brink of civil war. With his trusty friend known only as "The Scotsman" and his loyal followers by his side, he knows that his clan shall make it through these trying times, and who knows, maybe Nippon could benefit from a Akakawatani Shogunate.

THIRD BATTLE FOR EDO. EARLY WINTER, 1556 HARUNO ISAHIDE VS KASAI DAIKI.
Kasai Daiki: FORCES: TOTAL 3,573 - General's Bodyguard, 8 Katana Calvary, 10 Yari Cavalry, 2,065 Ashigaru Spears, 400 Ashigaru Bows, 150 Katana Ronin, 175 Yumi Ronin. FORCE ADVANTAGE: OVERWHELMING. NUMBERS ADVANTAGE: OVERWHELMING. MORALE: EAGER. -4 FATIGUE.
8+12-4+2+5 = +23
83 TOTAL
HARUNO ISAHIDE: 1,235 TOTAL: General's Bodyguard, 300 Ashigaru Spears, 400 Ashigaru Bows, 90 Katana Samurai, 40 Yari Samurai. MORALE: DISMAYED.
LAST STAND IS IN EFFECT.
15-2 = +13
52 TOTAL
83 VS 52
The Daiki raiders descend upon the city with weapons at the ready and warcries upon their lips. While the defenders lay down volley upon volley of arrow fire onto the oncoming tide of bandits, they are unable to make much of a dent in their numbers: they break clamber over the walls and break through the gates with relative ease, and it is then that the slaughter begins in earnest. True to what their leader commands, they do not burn, but they do rape and steal their way through the city, shaking off their fatigue from the long march to slaughter defenders by the dozen, thankful that the hot blood spilled warms their numb, freezing hands.
In short order, the raiders cut their way right to the tenshu, where Isahide makes his stand, blade ready, bodyguard standing by. He does not gain an honorable death: spearmen swarm him and his retinue and just stab them to death, with one scarred, bloodied ronin cleaving away his head and holding it triumphantly as the Daiki "flag" is brought up and the Uesugi flag is torched to cinders.
Musashi is yours.
Lose 400 Ashigaru Spears. Lose 200 Ashigaru Bows. Lose 20 Katana Ronin. Lose 20 Yumi Ronin.

DAIMYO NAME: Kasai Daiki
CLAN: Kasai is no true clan but instead a band of rabble gathered by Kasai Daiki a ruthless bandit lord who holds claim Hitachi province. Known for their lightning fast raids and ruthless tactics they are a rising problem in the north of Japan.
BACKGROUND: Kasai Daiki was born in an insignificant village long destroyed in a past war which helped shape him into the man he is today. Destitute and starving would be the simple ways to describe his childhood as he struggled to stay alive at the bottom of society. Daiki was not content to live a life of a beggar and eventually joined a mercenary group fighting in the many petty conflicts that littered Japan. He eventually rose through a combination of force of personality and combat skill to become leader of the little company. He however had different ideas on the work they should do and in no time set himself up as a petty warlord in the Hitachi Province.

DAIMYO NAME: Kinami Naoko
CLAN: Kinami, nominal vassals of the Ashikaga Shogunate
BACKGROUND: Naoko has only recently come into adulthood. Fourteen years old and still scarcely more than a boy, he owes his position of Daimyo to his aging uncle - a man who has protected the young heir nigh obsessively for eight long years ever since the young lord's father died under suspicious circumstances.
Largely sheltered inside his family's stronghold, Naoko has not yet learned how to be an especially effective leader of men - but having been present at court for more of his life than not, he is a darling to courtiers as far away as the Kyoto and Kyushu, having received and treated with all sorts of dignitaries passing through his family's territory as they make their way inland from the coast. His grip on the diplomatic rituals of the Japanese nobility may well be second to none, and some of the best tutors money can buy have found themselves endeared to the young Daimyo's wide-eyed willingness to learn what they have to impart, whether that be numeracy, accounting, agriculture, architecture or the fine arts of calligraphy and poetry.
As he grows older, however, he becomes increasingly aware that not all outside the castle walls is as peaceful as his doting uncle and blissfully ignorant courtiers would have him believe. Clashes between nobles threaten to consume the entire island nation in destructive bloodshed, and while Naoko hopes to uncover what happened to his father all those years ago, his court - and especially his uncle - hope just to weather the coming storm.
DOMAINS: Kii
HONOR:
FORCES:
FAMILY: Uncle (Kinami Masaru) - Though the older of two brothers, Masaru was passed over for Naoko's father due to a long-forgotten dishonour and a disinclination for rulership. He spent a long while wandering as a landless warrior, perfecting his combat skills - but returned to protect his nephew when he heard of his brother's death at the hands of ninja.
ABILITIES:
[Architect] - It is easier to build up and maintain infrastructure.
[Courtly Knowledge] - It is easier to recruit courtiers. Enemy courtier actions are of less severity. +2 to diplomatic relations.
[Mediator] - +10 to negotiating peace treaties, ceasefires and hostage exchanges.
[Poet] - +5 to diplomacy. Writing kickass haikus may give you bonuses to certain rolls.
AGENTS: Monks, inspectors, ninja and courtiers bound to your cause.
TRAITS: Unique bonuses and penalties determined by your background.
A young heir rises,
Silver tongue and courtly bow:
An easy target.

BATTLE OF INABA: EARLY WINTER, 1556. INABA CHIKAYOSHI VERSUS YAMATO KATATAKE
CHIKAYOSHI: 1,442 General's Bodyguard, 56 Katana Cavalry, 31 Yari cavalry, 92 Katana Samurai, 150 Bow Samurai, 169 Ashigaru Spears. CAVALRY ADVANTAGE: NEGATED. MORALE: CONCERNED

63+10-4+2+8+8+12 = 99
99 VS 21
It is a slaughter, quick and simple. The Yamato encircle the retreating Inaba and close in for a swift and savage strike. As the light dies, so do the Inaba defenders: culled by the score by arrows, crushed beneath hooves and chariot wheels, skewered by spears and laid low by blinding lashes of the sword. To their credit, they expect no quarter and fight to the last, even if such a last stand consists of flailing helplessly against a bristling wall of gore-slicked yari.
In perhaps ten minutes it is all over. The Inaba lay dead. And a clear road to their capital presents itself.
YAMATO: lose 60 ashigaru spears. Lose 2 Chariots. Lose 20 Ashigaru Bows.

1/2. You gorge your bear cub on the bodies of the fallen. A grotesque practice. But one that works. He has certainly developed quite the appetite for flesh…
3. Gain 780 Ashigaru Bows. Lose 1 Excess Equipment.
>>37843
HONOR: 3
FORCES: General's Bodyguard, Sword Hero (Kinami Masaru, Duelist), 20 Yari Cavalry, 150 Katana Samurai, 150 Bow Samurai, 400 Ashigaru Spears
DOMAINS: Kii, Level 2, Rice Paddies, Roads and Waystations
TRAITS: [Untempered] - Naoko is young– some may quietly argue that he is too young. While this means that his foes will grow fat on hubris and have much to lever against him, this also means that he has quite a bit of untapped potential. Researching all abilities is easier for you. However, you are somewhat reliant on the aid and experience of your Uncle to properly manage your domain, and you take a diplomatic penalty to certain actions or with certain lords on account of your age and the… questionable circumstances in how you came to power.
>>35920
1/2. You waste no time and crush the rebels underfoot. Though the damage is done, there is, certainly, very little threat of continued revolt or insurrection. Mounting the heads of the traitorous dogs on spikes across your road does that.
3. Of course, mounting their heads along the roads also hampers the progress of repairs and renovations. Such efforts stall, for the time being.
>>35984
1. Einoishi's speech hits a nerve with many of his constituents, and they, indubitably, spread such word to the people. The Ikko must not be allowed to continue spreading: they must be stopped before more tragedy rains down upon all.
2. The resurgence of the Ikko Ikki has given Hiruishi some measure of resolve: he has a goal to work towards and has, at least partially, put aside his own pain and grief. For now.
[You can do no more for your son. Further actions to cheer him up will be wasted.]
3. Einoishi's visit inspires the workers to greater toil, and the building is completed posthaste. Gain [Iron Mines], which, combined with a smithery, can give you superior arms and armor.
>>36029
1. Trading Port 7/10. As the cold winds roll in, it is harder and harder to properly work so close to the freezing sea…
2. However, perhaps the allure of a warm castle drives the men to greater fervor in their construction elsewhere. Shiro Awachi is finished, and the "coronation" is held on the winter solstice, overseen by many priests. Surely, this is a triumph that Awachi should be proud of!
Gain [Shiro Awachi], a proper fortress that will stall unrest and give you a large defensive bonus when fighting in Awa.
3. The Chosokabe return your missive with a very simple letter that states, in no uncertain terms, that Awachi Katuso certainly should not risk his already frail health by making threats he cannot properly enforce in such a cold winter. What's more, said biting cold stalls your training attempts.
The Chosokabe have spat in your face. They will not work with you. War, it seems, may be the only recourse, unless you seek to take this up with the Shogun.
>>36097
1/2/3. Anti-Sabotage Tactics 4/8.
>>36099
1/2. The man graciously accepts, and, within weeks, he and several other curious nanban are already milling about in your manor house, conversing with your retainers, sharing their knowledge and eagerly drinking up any that you offer them. And they snatch up your pottery almost as fast as you can churn it out: it's already caught on in their own colonies, let alone their actual homeland.
The Shogun approves, perhaps a bit cooly, of this arrangement, though few clans are willing to really give your offer of a swap-meet any serious thought.
You gain 2 ticks of progress on your next attempt to research an Ability.
3. Silk Farm 1/10
>>36101
1. Military Fleet 1/6
2. Gem Mine 3/8. The men are eager to plunder those glittering stones…
3. Noto Quarry 7.6/8. Work continues, certainly, but it's a bit of a chore given the ice, the wind, the snow…
