But these are SHIMAZU katana samurai. They are ashigaru-destroying buttfucking murder machines.

I meant on release, although I am skeptical that we'll see Dogs of War. Then again, maybe they'll be the 16th "major" faction, and CA will forsake Hashut and the Dawi Zharr.

Honestly, Dogs of War could be really fun if they did something different with them. Like, we take over a merc company with a base(s) in the Border Principalities or Tilea or Estalia. The base is like a mix between a horde and a city - stationary, but separate from a city. You upgrade it with special buildings like a horde, but it isn't an army itself.

You can recruit armies from the base and go around raiding wherever you want, but what you mostly want to do is hire out your army to another faction at war. One of your armies teleports to their capital, and more can follow if they pay for it, and you fight in the war as their ally. If you lead a siege, you can decide to sack the city and/or hand it over to your employer.

Your only goals are to make money, and expand the fame of your company. Victory conditions involve upgrading your base to a certain level, and/or operating full bases all over the map. You do have to protect your bases, though, making sure no hostile faction takes the region you're based out of. You also want to help stop Chaos from destroying the world.

...and I just realized that you meant that we would get Dogs of War as merc units or some shit. NVM, that seems really likely. A shame, I'd love to play Total War as a merc faction.

Ogres were mercenaries before they became a faction on the table top and even then they still kept that part of their lore as well as being able to field those mercenary units in their own armies, it's why I don't think there's gonna be an eastern expansion and the ogres will just be a horde that runs around joining whichever side gives them the most/tastiest money/food.

that probably was not even half of my army, the 17k of polish-lithuanian troops are also not even a third of the enemy army, you can see all their stacks in the background, I was just very careful with positioning to insure that I bring more troops to the battle. Though the main purpose of the pic was to show friendly fire, both sides lost more than 2k soldiers to their own men

The word of our Blessed Lady Amaterasu, perfected by the Infinite Wisdom of Shakyamuni Buddha, can be spread by almost every faction in Shogun 2.

>>138717165
As Otomo you have access to gunpowder shit at the git go. You start in Kyushu next to all those sexy trade ports, and you have access to ridiculously overpowered Nanban ships, so money really won't be an issue.

The main issue though is the fact that being Christian makes everyone hate you. So Daimyou Honor and diplomacy bonuses are an absolute must to counteract that. Once you secure Kyushu for yourself you just gotta work on spreading that word of god around.

>>138717303
Chain shot is two iron balls connected by a chain
They will wreck sails. Slowing ships down (the white bar) really good if you want to take prizes or they're faster than you

Grape shot or canister is basically a shot gun, shit range but it will kill crew and affect moral but you need to get close to use it

Round shot is your standard shot, I think it goes the furthest. Punches holes in the hull more likely to sink them but also does damage to crew and cannons. what you'll use 90% of the time.

>>138717303
Round is normal ammo, good for punching holes in ships. Chain will destroy masts and cripple ship movement. Grape is like anti-personnel flak, won't hurt ships a whole lot but it'll fuck up the crew.

>>138717427
>>138717303
Some tactics with different shot types

Ships have a massive moral penalty if they have no mast, so chain shot does good moral damage. no one wants to be a sitting duck and most likely a ship without sails will surrender.

Getting behind a ship at close range and unloading a full broadside of grape in their ass will kill LOADs of crew and will also give a big moral shock.

>>138717303
Chain shot is for taking out their sails so they can't move

Round shot is for then punching poles in their ship

Grape shot is for shooting into those holes and killing everyone

>>138717270
Okay I will go gun mad and crush the nonbelievers. How do you get your unit cards looking like that
>>138717426
thanks for the info ill focus on kyushu and getting mad dosh and then spread the word of god farther on.

>>138717303
Chain to destroy sails, so they're dead in the water

Grape to kill crewmen

Round is basic shot

otomo can be really hard at the start. but once you pass a tipping point its all gravy from there.

>>138717689
okay well I'll give it a go tomorrow and see what happens

>>138717602
Early game is everything with Otomo, you will get bumfucked by like 3 clans at the start unless you are careful. Everybody else on Kyushu hates your Christ-worshiping guts and they will gang bang you for it if you don't preemptively remove one of them from the table and become too big for them to snuff out in a couple turns.

>>138717841

>>138717928
Just be very careful about setting up your mid and late game with building stuff. Remember about the papermill up in Buzen that will give improved accuracy to all ranged units, and also remember Satsuma has superior metalworking that can give you some nasty heavy infantry.

Honor is important, Your daimyo has shit Honor. but with matchlocks early it shouldn't be a problem.

You'll also get a quest early on that will give you improved matchlocks so it might be worth while to wait for that quest to proc before going heavy on matchlocks (i think the conditions are to recruit a matchlock unit so by the second turn you should have it active.)

It can also be worth while to move your nanban port to buzen once you're established.

Winning heroic victories with your Daimyo is a good way to build his honor, which is important so you can boost your diplomatic relations as much as possible until you can get more cultural research done. A basic guide for getting a heroic victory is to win a defensive siege while outnumbered heavily. Depending on the difficulty you're playing at you may have to resort to cheesing the AI to pull this off.

Other than that, basic battle stuff:

Yari ashigaru are the lynchpin to every army. Yari wall stops all enemy charges.
Bows are OP as fuck. Whoever has archer superiority dictates how the battle is fought.
Samurai are strong but they actually work better in tandem with yari ashigaru than in pure samurai armies. Yari are the anvil, samurai are the hammer.
Cavalry is mostly useless unless you're Takeda, it CAN be deployed effectively but you can get along fine without it.
Matchlocks are effective only when they have a clear line of fire and can't be immediately bumrushed. So defensive sieges and during ambushes or opening salvos in pitched battles. Even in both these situations you generally only have a limited window where they are effective.

Any legit Christian preacher would bring the bible with them to hand out as part of their mission. They've had the information there.

It doesn't make sense for them, not to know. It sounds like a legit story that came from somewhere its very specific regarding the bones being picked clean then gathered for burial even referring to Golgotha where Jesus died.

We know Jesus travelled with Joseph in his pre ministry years but Japan is way too far. It's believed he went to Britain as it was the chief Tin producer and Joseph was a Tin merchant and probably went across the Mediterranean and there's even a theory he went far east towards India and learn their teachings and brought them back to the Levant.

It's cool story though settling in a village as a fisherman,having a family and living to 106.

Shaving a dwarf beard is a grievous cultural insult. That being down to the messenger of the High King is a slap in the face of the High King himself and the entire dwarf race. The Elves knew this.

The dwarf lands and caravans were attacked by Elves. Their dignity and honour was violated by Elves. There was no resource but war.

Furthermore, the War of the Beard wasn't the downfall of dwarfs. It was the Slaan earthquakes,

Pepes

>>138726554
The Slaan wanted to adjust some geometric lines so they used their power to shift the tectonic plates of the world. This caused massive earthquakes that damaged and destroyed many dwarf holds.

After this happened, Skaven and Goblins/Orcs started appearing everywhere having been aroused by the earthquakes. The dwarfs having been sent reeling by the quakes were not prepared for the masses of violent critters that poured into their busted and damaged holds. Que many years of suffering for dwarfs.

>>138726919
Pepes probably though there's a lot more elves and they are much more reckless. Pepes learnt magic directly from the Old Ones who could terraform planets and use interdimensional travel whilst elves had to learn on their own.

I still think that, despite all the problems we had with sieges since fucking M1 (if you deploy your siege weapons they won't have the range to target the inner walls lol) one way to make them not a chore was limiting the number of units you could garrison. As it stands, most of the time having a half stack means you'll never lose a defensive siege.

>>138729186
M2's restrictive towns were awful.

I liked Shogun 2's sieges.
I haven't really liked any other siege.

Attila pisses me off with its magical towers.
It's either slow autism with onagers to snipe towers, or else you're losing one or two hundred more men to the towers in even backwater cities.
So I always auto-resolve them because they're not properly balanced.
Which is really annoying, makes trying to migrate through the WRE and sacking along the way really boring until they finally try to stop you with a stack.

>>138729480
It shouldn't matter when.
Might not be any more than a 20%, but it's important that they do put it on some sale; or they'll just be missing out on a lot of buyers.

How can I make an ally region to revolt?
Send a priest and an army to raid it?
I expect it to damage my relation with them, but will give a penalization as traitor to other factions?

I bet you She backs down by saying She meant the faction and not a unit.

>It's either slow autism with onagers to snipe towers
just hit the buildings nearby the fire will spread and wipe the tower out, also bring units with good capping skill like raiders, I really dont understand all the complaints about towers, they arent strong

Priests creating unrest.

Raiding.

You'll get penalties to that faction, but probably not to any others or if you do they'll be small. Just do it.

the AI will suck at using magic and there are factions like dwarves and vamps who lack a unit type which the AI will also be shit at playing as

>>138730583
AI has never been great to begin with. the only problem i have with the AI is when i play on high difficulty, then the AI seem to have endless legions of units.
four front zergswarm, thats when it gets tough, and i guess thats only because im shit at managing economics

Being the battle ai director of total war must be a really really unrewarding job

Even fucking empire had a more indepth system, in which you had to choose short tem growth vs long term with tye way taxes would affect pop growth and a high pop could give you a shit ton of money, but that meant putting up with low taxes for a time

Sigvald the Magnificent:

Beautiful from birth, Sigvald’s fondness for hedonistic excess saw him exiled from his tribe but also gained him a powerful patron: Slaanesh. Now, he heads an army devoted to himself. Slaying anything he deems ugly or unsavoury, he fights as much for his perverse ego as he does for Slaanesh.
