No shame in a defeat like this
Recruited not more than 31 units in the whole game, which mostly were used only to garrison the towns when converted religion a few times. Never held more than 8 provinces before I captured Kyoto in the end. Never lost a province, a battle, a unit or a ship.
In turn 500, at the lowest tax rate, only 6 provinces pay for an army and navy of 100k unkeep per turn.
PS: Also managed to be the first to master all the legendary achievements.
