Samurai only armies
So it's been a LONG time since I played this started a Takeda campaign. But after only like 3 years into the game, almost all armies I meet are samuri only, a few ashigaru bows, but mostly yari samurai, bow samurai, I havn't seen yari ashiagru since my first battle.

This is not how I rememberd it. Has this happend after a patch? was this a random thing, I thought sevral diffrent clans. I use no mods.

Are you playing rise of the Samurai?

This is definitely not RoTS.

So, is your problem the fact that The AI is too powerful by recruiting Samurai Armies, or AI unrealistically recruiting Full Samurai Army, or The AI not smart enough to utilize Ashigaru-Heavy Army?

Unrealistric armies, 17 samurai units and 3 ashigaru archer units.

The problem is simple: samurai are better. Without unit caps, the AI can and will hire as much as it can. Who wouldn't?
You need to introduce dynamic unit caps if you want to fix this problem. Dynamic unit caps introduce hard caps that are increased with every province you own. More provinces = higher unit caps.
Someone from the Sekigahara mod has written a tutorial on TWCenter.net on how to add this feature to the game. It is not that difficult, but you need basic modding skills.

Then Destin have to shamelessly flaunt his unfinished mod... Again. Well, there is also Weierstrass' Masters of Strategy Mod

I'm sure all of the mods introducing dynamic unit caps also contain lots of other changes you might not desire.
You would have to make a dynamic unit cap mod for vanilla Shougun II, RotS and/or FotS.
It's not that difficult and I would be willed to lend you a hand.
