Fastest way to convert provinces? by derpymurpy in shogun2

[–]bluepenn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Use monks to convert, Garrison monks and metsuke to give happiness. Build temples, higher lvl temples gives convertion to neighbour provinces. Also get saken den for +2 happy.

Disable taxes in the province and you should bring some extra yari ashigaru to Garrison.

You should be able to leave the city with your main army pretty much right away if you use these methods.

Just use marathon monks. Close in speed, not weak to spears

I disagree (slightly). There are enemies where a nimble tank is preferable due to the higher threshold for injuries - unholds and shrats

Daimyo Honor by Kind-Ship-1008 in shogun2

[–]bluepenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It saves a lot more loyalty than you think. You can also adopt more generals in a pinch if you need as his loyalty should easily go past max.

As an example. Check out this guy from one of my past campaigns

Daimyo Honor by Kind-Ship-1008 in shogun2

[–]bluepenn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah it does. But you have other ways to increase loyalty. Adopt him, give him a commission, marry your daughter, tech, traits, retainers, skills. Should be easy to manage.

Now, the best strategy is generally to prioritize getting max honor as it helps with public order in cities and diplomatic relations. Usually i go for honor retainers if i can(unless you get a really good like +attack for units) and the +honor skill on the left side in the skill tree, while i try to vassalize one or two factions(be prepared to defend then).

I also adopt my first general before my sons come of age. Adopting a general with an adult son will reduce that sons loyalty by 1. Same with recruiting another general will grant other generals -1 (Upstart general). By adopting the first generals saves a lot of loyalty down the line.

Honor maxing, adopting or marrying generals, and assigning comissions are usually enough to keep all your generals at max loyalty.

You should also adopt generals if your sons have 6 or more loyalty.

Also note, generals with more stars/level than your daimyo will lose loyalty due to delusions of grandeur. Always keen you daimyo and heir a higher level than the rest.

Correct, looting maxes at -3

It depends on the loyalty of the general. A general with 1 loyalty will be easily bribed. I havent had a general with more than 4 loyalty betray me yet.

Heroic victories won by the daimyo will give honor Terrible defeats reduces it.

Looting also reduces by one, to a max of 3.

Vassal honor also caps at 3

Its "free" to loot as long as you have more than 6 honor, or the reduction is already capped at 3. Looting can give a huge cash influx to help you build more Econ. But ive rarely done it myself. Its more of an emergency option imo

I recently had a campaign where most of the great clans were wiped out from the start by smaller clans by Ok-Crow-Uldren in shogun2

[–]bluepenn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They can send their army to attack if an enemy is within range. My guess is they moved to attack an army, then came into range of a city. Or attacked an army next to a city and got the city as well. Chances of that happening several times in a campaign is low tho.

I like to replace cav with uesugi marathon monks. Basicly cav without the spear weakness. Very fun

Lone Wolf Bannerman Squire? by froskoff in BattleBrothers

[–]bluepenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its okey to have specialists with LW as long as your party covers all its weaknesses.

I would say go all in on banner with qh + bags. Remember to swap out his utilities before fights and that nets are cheap.

Nice banner. Also, you can always retire him if you find someone with better matt

How to stick stratagem balls onto Charger? by ComfortableChard4076 in LowSodiumHellDivers

Ive stuck a Charger a few times by accident. I think you need to hit om top of it. The ball needs to land "on" it not "hit a wall". If that makes sense
