why is it that whenever i do siege battles, i start with 4 times as much troops as the enemy, and 30 good days of food, but once i'm destroying the keep (after 12 days) all my food is magically GONE?!?!! i lost 4 long drawn out battles because of this!!!!!

Dude the only thing that comes to mind is do you use the Rally Tactic?

[bugg333]

why yes. all the time. does THAT take food?! 

[Mitsurugi]

due then that would be it i found out when i was using that tactic for when my soldiers or units were losing moral, i would use that tactic and i would see my food go down next time use it and look at your food.

[lonewolf1218]

yes rally is ur problem either take even more officers n send some home or dont use rally also try not to use a bunch of officers with charge or a lot of horses thex tire faster and lose moral faster

[Mitsurugi]

I did not know about the horses tiring faster and losing morale.

[lonewolf1218]

yep horse units especially if they under fire from muskets lose moral fast. Another factor is weather. Rain or snow also effect moral. The following skills do as well rampage confuse taunt. Sometimes not winning is useful. Your officers as long as they took a fortress tower made first contact gain deeds. Also you can attack over n over using different officers or the same 1s n make a ton of high ranking 1s fast. This is great against castles that have a lot of towers. Hope i helped

[Mitsurugi]

Thank you, you helped a lot for i really did not know all of that had an effect. Thanks  

[lonewolf1218]

most welcome. I found out about the horse thing by watching the moral bar. Officers with charge both real or created tire/lose moral faster even if they have spears guns whatever than officers that dont have charge. The only way i got around this is i create 3 or 4 officers in each game with volley an charge to be dragoon guys. Add block or if you want a real monster, rampage. Rally uses 1000 units of food each time you use it according to the guide book. Personally i hate rally for that reason

[lonewolf1218]

forgot to add musket fire can kill moral especially if you have the fame to be usin rifles

[Mitsurugi]

Dude thanks if i have any questions i will let you know. 

[lonewolf1218]

again welcome wish more folks were still playin or at least talkin bout the game. We had some real (spirited)debates goin on last year well 2 yrs ago almost now. Who do you like playin btw?

i'm having a problem getting rid of the otomo alliance.. i'm playing as oda took a good bunch of castles/fiefs and otomo organized a resistance and he became the lord over several other clans INCLUDING THE UESUGI!!!

i have mori and takeda on my side, but they're both useless in aiding me. well takeda helped once or twice, and it's normally me helping them fend of the uesugi.

i like to play mori, oda, otomo (played them twice and loved it) ouchi (the struggle is epic!! but i can't seem to get the clan leader to die and appoint that yoshinaga otomo as the ouchi leader. the AI seems to pull it off like magic, but i can't for some reason :/ ) i played the shogun once, the miyoshi once as well and ashina as well.

at one point, i was playing ashina and my created sibling rebelled and took off half my lands :/ it's kinda of amazing. i mean the rebellions and all. but the sad thing is, it costed me 2 of my good generals.

is there a way to make sure some generals would never ever betray you?

[lonewolf1218]

yes and no. Created officers yes mostly. Give them high virtue like 85 or higher and give them an affinity for whoever is going to be diamyo. For say the asahina 1st senario morikiyo dies moriuji takes over. Give the officer affinity for moriuji.   Now real officers are tricky. If you become the dominant power and show a habit of treating ur people well ie give titles ranks items and do a lot of hunts tea ceromonys ect ur officers won't likely betray. Also these things make it possible to get even officers of high virtue to betray to ur side. How high? Try tsunashige hojo virtue 89. He agreed after 3 turns of gettin talked to by my oda guys. His loyalty had droped a bit when i had imagawa take odawara from the hojo. Before u ask, im playin most of the diamyo each turn 1st senario. The oda are my main focus. I wanted things built better, officers developed better ect. I will face a ton of castle battles and expect to have at least 1 officer gain a skill level volley charge or counter with each fief i take.

[lonewolf1218]

oh addin this you were gasso'ed by the game. To end that silliness, i assume oda has the highest fame. Save at the end of ur turn. Now choose quit then load ur game now hold down the start button while choosing autoplay. This allows you to play another diamyo in the same turn. Diamyo order is based on fame. You can have 1 or all the diamyo that became vassels of the otomo send a messenger and tell him to stuff the alliance.  Hope this helps
