I've finally gotten around to playing the actual "conquests" part of Conquests and i'm wondering a few things about the Sengoku scenario.. What type of strategy did you all use while playing? And what Civ? I started one game as Useugi, pretty decent land and I expanded to own the top right of northren Japan. However I came into problems when warring.
Namely that the other clans seem prepared, even eager to break alliances and backstab me. I even had civs with rops bs me. My military wasn't the best i'll admit, but it was higher then the civs backstabbing me. In that game it ended with various civs overunning me. So I tried again, using the Useugi.
This time I made sure to stay on top military wise, expanding to grab a little bit more of land. Betrayal hasn't happened as much now, but its still ongong. I really can't trust anyone so i've been staying out of other peoples wars, only waging some of my own. So on that end, i'm ok. The problem i'm facing now lies in the sheer number of units i'm facing.
I've tried(and faield) to take the Hojo capital two times now. Once with near 20 units, the second time with near 30. The problem isn't the quality of the untis(mostly just warrior monks), but the number. For every one I kill, two more seem to step forward. I've been trying to decide wether to build up for an even larger assault, or to start massing fire cannons against it. Btw, i'm using Mounted Samurai as my main attacking unit, Samurai Aquebesquirs(sp?) are around now, but I prefer retreat, saves me units.
Anyway, thats just my experience thus far, how did you guys deal with the massive number of units being thrown around and the snievling, conniving, backstabbing AI?
