This Game is based off of your play style, if your a nub try the Shimazu or Chosokabe if not and your Good Oda or Tokugawa, Remember each Clan has it advantages and disadvantages and there own Traits

I started with the Oda, but they are not easy. They have a lot of enemies and other clans that build up to be powerful near them. An easiesr clan is the Chosokabe. Take your time and build a good army and secure the island the Chosokabe province is on and then from that secure position you can decide what path to follow.

do read clan difficult level, game has not sort it like that, oda is set to hard and so are some others, but as blue unity says it is playstyle, read clan abilitys and try stick to that with so many clans you can sometimes forget that , and do what you do as your way, and then all clan will be same more or less,

other brief guide nail it ...as basic try inforce that in the game and get more diversity in the clans

but if oda is hard how come that spear tactic is the best and was so easy for me while i struggle alot more with other clans, and a little luck do count depend on the level you start on.

stay with the easy choise clan, spear , bow, sword, ability clans then that is done then you are ready for the longterm research clan ... i did oda way to late according to the hard level...

you will soon notice that reseach skill tree is the key and its not that easy to get it if others declare war on you, so you will need a little of both in bushido or chi before you can focus on clan very core abilitys...if you want to stick to clans ability or try to

The Oda is the most OP clan in Shogun 2. The game rates the Oda's Initial Challenge as hard because they do start out in a two front war against three other clans. Once you manage to beat back the initial assault and capture Mino you are no longer in a two-front war but you still have cheep but superior troops and can just steam roll the rest of Japan.

Yeah Oda's ashigaru all have lower upkeep (although I think Ikko Ikki might be lower), but higher combat capability. If you have the DLC, you can recruit Oda Long Yari Ashigaru.

It's possible to have multiple stacks of experienced Oda ashigaru trouncing smaller numbers of enemy samruai.

Also, although Oda's postion is initially vulnerable, once you secure the moutain pass into Kiso, and the Tokkaido road, you are very safe. Both of these areas can be blocked with a good fortress and a relatively small army. This allows Oda to go into the Omi area right away and start consolidating around Kyoto, whereas many other clans have to fight through tons of provinces to get there.

Best clan in campaign? Oda is easily the best cuz of their op and yet cheap ashigaru can put up a good fight against samurai armies. Ikko Ikki is pretty much as like Oda except only loansword is op.

[Makenshi]

Oda will give you a really solid mid game because of the clan bonus and nor a bad choice for legendary because pretty much the only way to counter ai spam other than agents is through aghigaru spam

The Otomo clan is definitely the strongest, Ikko ikki is the worse (weakest) and people should not buy it. The reason for Otomo is because they can access the portuguese terco, with this unit your castle is impregnable. I use it to hold kyoto and enemy stood no chance since the terco are also heavily armour

I like Ikko Ikki.

They are vulnerable at the start, but can become unstoppable if you mange them well.

I don't know about the unstoppable bit because they really suck, Katana ronin have fewers numbers than katana samurai, bow monk have no armour at all, only one monk hero compare to 10 in other factions, cannot recruit nun which is dumb, one choice of cavalry which need superior horses. The only, ONLY good thing is that theur matchlock monk is nearly on par with portugueses terco in terms of shooting.
I give myself unlimited koky and find my self corner to 3 province by Oda

I dont know why you saying Ikko Ikki really sucks, loan sword ashigaru spam is just as scary as Oda ashigaru spam even til late game. Ikko Ikki loan sword ashigaru is just unstoppable

So even with that cheat and ya cant win? Seriously, you have numbers dude, get castles and just start creating armies.... i mean its not even an excuse in Legendary. And another strong part of the Otomo is their navy (Naban Trade Ship). Basicly its a trade ship thats destroys an entire navy.
