The Oda Clan Takes Over The World

So many, many weeks ago I bought Total War: Shogun 2 off Steam during the annual Summer Sale or something for 75% off, which meant it was reduced from $50 to $12.50. Pretty good deal if you ask me. Being an Australian of course, and the prices being in US dollars, I had an extra thirty cent reduction, compared to the US dollar price.

Anyway, back then, I finished some of the tutorials, and basically left it on my hard drive until the start of these holidays, when I decided to try playing again.

The first thing I did was play as the Takeda clan. They have cheap cavalry, which is cool, but I absolutely sucked at it. I kept on running out of money and barely surviving against the strong factions around me. Making alliances was all I could do.

So I started up another campaign, this time as the Oda, in which I was surrounded by lots of hostile factions, along with a civil war occurring right as I begun.

Took out the rebellion, and promptly annihilated my enemies, before beginning my journey to take over the world.

I just need to somehow get around all my trade partners and allies to a faction that I am enemies with ...
