Anyone find that i guess this isn't particular to DM but in general.
You are given more generals then you can fight with?
I find most of my generals actually become stale and sit at home, unless i campaign and ravage japan i cannot physically utilize all my generals to enitialy make then effective.
I'm playing my ikko ikki campaign and i have got 2 full stacks (can only afford within budget) with my faction leader and his son in command between them they are only 4 stars and 3 stars.
They have fought about 9 battles between them but they are very rare and very few im often looking to pick fights with factions.
Quite a lot of factors link into this i think biggest one is that to have a large enough army you must depend on trade and diplomacy, but at the same time for your generals to benifit you have to use them efficiently so you have to wage war on a faction but...There are very limited individual armies in and on the campaign as everyone can only field so many units dependable on your current diplomatict situation. so intially you end up waging war to expand, but 3 turns in you find yourself in debt and loosing money as you cannot sustain it without getting trade from the people your attacking
I've rejected 5 generals i've got 4 at the moment and for me i could use more, and more armies included but i feel restricted by clan income.
