FoTs campaign

[TotalWarfan2]

I just got FoTs dlc im wondering what the best faction for campaign would be I havent played shogun at all in the past btw.

Then I suggest you simply pick one and try out the game.

Try Satsuma or Tosa.

Saga and Sendai are both great factions for each allegiance. If you don't have these, probably Tosa or yes, Satsuma.

Sendai is probably the easiest shogun faction, nagaoka aint bad either btw (abuse uesugi-sado-cashblingbling tactic ). The rest is just hummm.... ^^ Jozai is a decent try if you can escape to hokkaido. Aizu makes for a "traiditional" styled campaign but is harder than the 3 aforementioned clans.

for imperials the easy ones is: Shimazu. Saga is fairly easy too if you rely on traditional units and take care of the 2 islands nearby first. after that i'd say Tosa aslong as you can overcome the initial difficulty.

You mean Shomatzu? Now you can correct my spelling as misstake. I have always had a real problem remembering names.

As for the eastern Island of Kyushu you can choose to isolate too and going east from the top also. There is no city on that Island that is of real interest. One decent troop center but then you get those extra for getting them off the Island. I don´t know but I just love to sink full stacked ships having control of the seas they never managed to land a ship on my soil. If they did I would be in some trouble though I never leave garrisons since the AI in Total war have yet to punish me for that like a human palyer could... A bit exploity I suppose. However having naval superiority is less important in FOTS then in previous campaigns since they got rid of the trade nodes.That said I was disappointed not getting a single raid for my trade nodes. Not a single one never had to protect them. they settled with raiding trade routes.

But Shomatzu yes if you secure Kyushu it´s impossible to loose. I played Shimazu in my first campaign and then I went for the east invasion. There is a gold mine there and some other pretty decent settlement. Om my Shomatzu campaign I went for the Island due to allying with Choshu and letting them handle that front. They grow to be by far the second strongest faction and expanded really funny. Took control over the entire Island as far east as you get. Hokkaido?

No love for Choshu eh? They are personally my favorite Emperor faction...Jozai for Shogun though Sendai is fun if you are traditional based army as is Aizu

choshu is interesting, i'd like to try a pillage type campaign as them using traditionalist army.
The problem is that they arent really that good for new/inexperienced FotS players, thats why i didnt mention/recommend em.
