[Harrier567]

playing satsuma on fall of the samurai and just became the vanguard imperial army in 1867. there is no other imperial factions despite me not attacking any and all other factions who are shogun supporting have declared on me and dont seem to want peace. any advice? first play through

I can't remember the specific trigger for FotS, but once you reach a certain amount of growth the remaining 'enemy' factions will start getting a substantial amount of negative influence towards you every turn. This essentially means that they'll all inevitably declare war on you and it will be impossible to prevent it. I know that taking Kyoto is the trigger in the base game, but I'm not certain what it is in FotS. I think it's just taking a certain amount of provinces.

As for suggestions, there really aren't any that will work for you. Once you reach that point you have no choice but to fight all of them. I guess my suggestion would be to wipe out the smaller factions first so you don't have to worry too much about getting teamed up on.

However, if you end up starting another game in the future it's possible to download a mod on the workshop that disables this feature. Personally, I would recommend that, since I find it obnoxious to have every single faction simultaneously turn on me.

That's how it works, you should keep Tosa, Saga or other minor imperial faction alive if your planning to support the emperor. After you trigger the realm divide those imperial faction are hardcoded to help you. How many province you need to conquer?

Your campaign could still be playable. I suggest have your port change to military port to prevent military sea invasion.

saga is alive but only has 1 province, all others were killed by ai. i have 24 provinces and finding it near impossible to defeat shogun navys. anyway to get peace

As I suggest change your port to military port then have a gunboat. Coastal guns will make Ai navy useless then train some iron plated ship w/ explosive shell to hunt them down.

Fall of Samurai is little bit harder than vanilla, you could just restart your campaign. What I did in my campaign I turtle up until I have enough economy, decent agent, change my port to military port and have doomstack.

i had this problem beforebut my campaign is abit different just gave up as i had no chance on taking on the whole country i had 16 odd regions and everyone was at war with me.

i declared independence from he shogun or emperor its not easy but im using unit packs and radious ai was far too strong kept losing battles and some regions but did win some most of my armies will have some artillery in them.

they are whats helped win the battles

You expanded wayyyy too fast. You need to go slow and give your ally ai's time to take territories so they can help you defend. I'm on 3 provinces, almost maxed out tech tree, 1 enemy clan, 3 allies and pulling in 10k income per turn.

No one likes you. You have no friends.
