    Default The Dutch

    I have a bit of a ridiculous question

    Can you trade with the Dutch in Shogun 2? Or are the Dutch not present in Shogun 2?

    Cheers

    Nope, not present. Only the portuguese in S2, and only the french, british and american in Fots

    The Dutch arrived in scale only after the Sengoku-jidai, and while Rangaku was in full swing by the Boshin period they were never a military influence. Plus they're not fashionable enough to cause people in major markets to buy CA's video game.

    I was asking this because I was planning to get firearms without converting my clan

    Another possibility for early acces is to accept foreign trade and build a nanban trade port and import matchlocks. This will starting spreading christian influence though but this effect can be canceled out by building a monastery in the province + a monk (or just 2 monks or so). Ofcourse you could go for the tech but as you wait this is an (expensive) option

    I always do this because I just WANT matchlocks early!

    You could also play Otomo clan, who start out Christian (so don't have to convert) and have early/easier/cheaper access to firearms
