did u get beaten by the rebels at turn one?
anyway I am still hooked

turn 40, 9 provinces, 3 trading posts,
ninja rank 4,
general rank 4 with an army of 1500: 4 x katana cavalry, 6 x bow samurai, 5 x katana samurai, I think 2 x pike samurai.
This is were things start to become interesting:
towns are undefended
need to lower taxes, exempt from tax some towns that are freshly conquered
army upkeep is eating what I make from trades. I am getting less money than when I had 5 provinces.
My plan is to strengthen economy
Allie with a strong bordering clan
attack weak enemies if any in the next five to 10 turns and than move to slowly to Kyoto in bursts(one burst being: destroy as many towns from a clan in a turn until I destroy the clan/strengthen economy)
God I am loving this game.
