Another shogun 2 magic trick: Around 8:20 you exempted Mikawa from tax to help with unrest, but the thing is, in that turn Mikawa was unhappy even without tax. So, exemption basically does nothing. So what you can do for that turn is set tax to very high and you actually don't lose anything if you manage to bring public order to yellow or green in the next turn. TLDR: If a province is unhappy either way, you might as well just set taxes to very high (although in this specific example that would affect Owari as well).

Right, good point! I did that with Omi should’ve done it with all tbh! Thanks for mentioning this~

when you have 2 generals in an army, after a battle, the first one will get 10 exp and the secnd one 1 exp. but if you leave one general out, acting as reinforcing, one will get 10 and the other will get 3. this way you will get way more exp for the generals

That being said, I usually do Oda Short Campaign where I take Kyoto and 25 Provinces, but always go past the "victory scene" to subjugate all of Japan. Figure it would be fun to do this in Legendary due to the AI's being able to quickly recover their forces for more battles.

Based on my customized battles with the AI, Oda long yari units in wall formation are nearly unstoppable on both attack and defense. Only problem is you need Yari Drill Yard and Encampment to recruit long yari, can't recruit long yari on turn 1 which stinks.

@@TripleZHacker One of my major current problems is usually when I try to keep a cost efficient, small but effective force out of nowhere I'll come up against stacks that have x2 the exp than my own men and sometimes almost double my men. Another is just how big of a fleet should I keep for trade nodes? I either go too hard in the proverbial paint and hemorrhage money, or I get pushed off far easier than I would like.

[@TripleZHacker]

@@GloriousShiva42 Ah for sure what difficulty do you play on? As for trade fleets you want to have 10 trade ships on the node itself and then a battle fleet defending the trade ships. As for cost efficient armies ashigaru are great early on and then you want to slowly fill your ranks with samurai/monks. Light cav can be really cost efficient early on but it does depend on the clan to some degree too. If you struggle with income the best thing to do is focus on purely economic buildings in your provinces at the beginning (Farms/Markets/Sake Den/Specialized Province Resource Buildings). Make sure to focus on the Way of Chi arts too as there are some nice economic bonuses (Todofuken is great to have early on).

@@TripleZHacker How many combat ships and of what size bune? And as for difficulty I play on a mix of Easy and Normal, not ashamed of it either Shogun II being my first Total War game.

SHogun 2 ODA is overpowered, especially with the unit pack. Weirdly everyone wants to trade with Oda and will pay for that privilege too. You occupy a starting zone with essentially 3 corridors of access. Allowing you to lock things down fairly easily. There are 2 weaponsmith provinces nearby. (3 if you count that one on what i call the shogun mile (long section leading to kyushu) There are 4 libaries you can reach before realm divide. Temple mounts, and Ninja schools too. So you can cap libraries and race to lnd consolidation, build heap of farm, and exponentialy grow income off of surplus food. You can also produce legions of gold tier weapon long spear yari ashigaru, coupled with general infantry leader level 3 plus stand and fight and encampment weapos upgrade, your long spear ashigaru will literally tear through EVERYTHING. You can put them in spear wall, and they will kill literally 30-40% of a charging samurai unit within seconds. WHat's more, if you want to go overkill, you can put long spear in a double spear wall, with normal yari ash or other long spear yari ash. On top of all of this, oda ashigaru get other bonuses too. On top of all of this, ODa nobuhide and Oda Nobunaga get HUGE personal trait bonuses the more battles they are in, that give your troops more morale, and instill fear (lower morale) in enemy. Whilst it is harder to turtle with Oda, compared ot Date and Shiamzu, the Oda campaign has the best bonuses. Once you get gold tier long spear, odds are you have won the legendary campaign. May take another 60 turns, but yo have likel already won.

How are you supposed to make money in this game to allow yourself to build something more exciting than asjigaru? I played a short campaign yesterday in the Rise of Samurai dlc. Taxes is the only reliable income - since sacking a conquered city damages my daymjo honor - this creates civil unrest in the ALL cities and no level of oppression can keep it in check. Oppression methods like garnisons and fortification costs money and has upkeep. Also cool troops like samurai or warrior monks need advanced building tech tree that costs shit tonn of money + that city is usually in the heart of your empire, mening that even if you build some OP units it will take 5-6 turns to make it to the front to your general. 5-6 turns is too long. Oh, yes you can use ship transportation - just to risk to lose all army to constant harrasing fleet of the sea clan. So I had to rush Kyoto only with asjigaru stacks. I managed to hold of Kyoto and Yamato while keeping almost half of far east portion of Japan, and then came a general with a full stack of yari samurai and foot samurai. No tactical genius can beat that shit, I had to survive just 2 turns more while I were backstabbing my trusty ally to get the last goal city... I had no money all game cuz I can only peacefully occupy and I don't trust ratty vassals. Seeing enemy coming forth with 2 armies of pure samurai made me rage quit and delete game 😮😢😅 I also had trade agreements with 90% of Japan, and at all times had war only with 1 faction at a time. So trade + taxes was only good for 3 generals fill stacked with asjigaru. I gave birth eventually for 5 warrior archer monks, they never came in time cus they travelled all the game to the front line. Mad. Mad. 💢

[@TripleZHacker]

There’s a few options: you can raise taxes to the max every other turn for income, also once you get 9 total honor with your daimyo you can loot freely as you only get a -3 reduction of honor from looting so you’d never lose the 6. Also focus on upgrading units slowly, you will likely use ashigaru throughout the game yeah, playing on lower difficulties it’s easier for sure

In Speedruns they use them to finish a game faster. But if you want a real challenge you should play it on a mostly fair level. I trick the AI too here and there or reload a battle or agent activity if i think it was too unlucky (like two 80% fail) or i could do much better since i often take the „lazy“ fight first without thinking about an insane outplay tactic. But it’s never a complete abuse. You guys can play the game as you want to but i will not hesitate to criticize it or feel it’s totally boring because most of this cheese is. Not worth watching.

Hi. What resolution is this? I struggle with small text on 1440p 24". 1080p looks so shit - and the text is still barely readable. And yes i have large fonts pack mod, not helping. UI scale of your resolution tells me it gotta be 1080 or smaller...

[@TripleZHacker]

Ah it’s 1080, so it’s less scale sorry, I should use the large font pack mod more often, but this was when the new mod manager was just released so I didn’t have any mods active so sorry about the UI difficulties…

They just Buff the strongest unit in the game and have the chad version of it long ashigaru. No reason to get fancy samurai even late game cz ashingaru is still stronger because they benefit more from upgrades due to large unit size

[@TripleZHacker]

Yeah a few samurai are nice but definitely can just Zerg around as the Oda

[@florians9949]

Everyone playing Shogun 2: the Oda are the strongest clan. Meanwhile one my first campaign they died on turn 7.

Answer: Yari Ashigaru are completely overpowered and needed to be nerfed heavily

[@kubaGR8]

Because the AI has no idea how to play around Yari wall.

[@koldonn1111]

The answer: It's not

[@Gadoguz1991]

Rip Dogo 😢

[@bayupradanarto7704]

wow so quick

[@symon1033]

Now do it with Ikko-Ikki =0

[@TripleZHacker]

Right! Much closer to Kyoto, still only Hattori can pull that off as you don’t have to fight the other Ashikaga army outside of the settlement

i recently lose my dad and i can understand that emotional breaking in your voice. I dont believe in any religion but I wish some day we meet again with our loved ones and be able to hug them and kiss them again.

[@TripleZHacker]

I’m so sorry for your loss I feel the same way I’m sure we will all see them again :)

[@gurka2513]

Honestly, Oda clan is easiest one so far. Ive got 20k koku in first 10-15 turns in legendary for trade agreement with Chosukabe. Something tells me i have used some cheese strat.

[@TripleZHacker]

@@gurka2513 likely had warhorses so they wanted to build cav by trading with you as most of the AIs will give you lots of koku for it but yeah Oda is definitely a very easy campaign
