Some tips (based on Amiga 500 version!!) when playing with Yoshitzune:

1.) The Statusbars of your armies mean the following: LEFT (fightingpower), RIGHT (health). Avoid fighting at all costs if your health drops to around 3-4 bars. You risk losing an army.

2.) Don't bother with the castles too much. instead your target are enemy armies. hunt them down and kill them whenever opportunity presents itself. Once all or most enemy armies are down, taking castles is a joke. Villages are a complete waste of time. only take them if u need health badly.

3.) Better conquer the home-castels of Miura (the one to the right side of Edo..forgot the name) and Yoshinaka (Maebashi) before killing Yoritomo. Sometimes they will defect and become grey-red-ronin and their home-castels will follow them if you haven't conquered them previously.

4.) Don't bother with doing any of the fighting- (or any other) sequences yourself. They are unfortunately not well done / balanced and will usually end disadvantageous for you. If u let the AI handle it (sequences are played by the computer for you), you will most likely always be successful. Only exception: hunting down the enemy leader on horseback. If u master this, it will be incredibly useful in dispatching of enemy armies.

5.) Ronin (all the grey armies) can spawn additional armies if given enough time. The new armies will always spawn on the castle that is the most to the right side of the map. After about 10 armies (forgot how many) with different names, it will restart with the very first army called Shimazu. This brings me to point 6.

6.) Alliances with Ronin. My record so far is having 15 armies under my control (that's of course not really needed...as Yoshitzune you can easily win the game with only 3 armies). How is that possible? Well. Grey-Black-Ronin tend to ally more often with Yoritomo (Black). Grey-White-Ronin more often with Yoshitzune (White) and Grey-Red-Ronin with the Taira (Red). What I often try is to allow grey-white-ronin to conquer one castle deep in the hinterland of my territory. Then I wait until they start spawning armies and then I create as many encounters as possible. I keep them weak by defeating them often, but never kill them, until they finally ally with me. It will sometimes take a while, but sometimes it goes surprisingly fast.

I have a graphical issue with when i am being beseiged and i go into defend with my bow, going down to the bottom of the window (the 3rd wall they jump) the game glitches and freezes. Just today i had a glitch while on horse back going in the bottom left corner seemed to glitch the graphics then the game restarted after i was done....very frustrating....i loved this game when i played it back in the day.

[[MCS] Yoritomo]

Kon'nichiwa!

Some hints as playing with Yoritomo:

1.Kill Yositsune as fast as possible. Send Miura and Yoshinaka to the unowned castle and follow them as soon its captured. After Yotsitsune dies, Satake and Noriyori join your force and you get the desperatly needed Sword, Bow and Siegeskills for Yoritomo.

2.Never arrive an enemy castle with Yoritomo first, exept you like the frustrating siege sequence. (I guess the sequence would be more fun, if they would be controlled with wasd.)
As more armies you have there and your own army has full stamina bar, as more time you have in siege. To rescue the princess its nessesary to siege with Yoritomo by self find first the princess then kill the commander.

3.Always make sure the right bar of the army is about to be full. So you survife at least 4 hits from ninjas shuriken. As more Swordskill you have as faster a guard saves your life.
Hits to the high center are always deadly. Deflecting by hit left mouse lead to strike the shuriken back to ninja if he throws to center.

4.Ronin allys at chance, as more you encounter them as more likely they ally. But dont horseback pursuit them. As more Insignia you have from Emperor and as more swordskill you have and as lower the army and health they have, as higher the chances they ally. Red Ronin dont ally.

5.If your generals encounter there is a chance they secede. As more castles they captured as higher the chance to betray you. So better manage encounters by yourself especial if your generals encounter Ronin.


Happy 30th anniversary!!!!
