Most popular faction?

[Smokedice]

Just wondering you know how in previous entries like Medeival 2 or Empire the more popular factions were the English or the Prussians, what's the best faction in Shogun 2? Besides differently colored armor and some attributes like better swords or ships or archers, what would be like the best clan? For me it's probably Shimazu, Mori, or Chosokabe.

Ikko Ikki for me.

I've enjoyed just about all of them because each provides a bit of a different experience, always amazing how starting position on the map matters so much.

I do in particular really like Shimazu because thier starting position is pretty much perfect, off in a corner so no issues with multiple front war at the start and you can dominate the euro trade nodes. The Mori are in a similar sort of position once you solidify the southern end of their starting position.

But then if you want to mix it up immediately the middle of the island is fun too. So really it comes a bit down to what you are up for in the campaign.

Question: By "Popular" do you ask what We thought are preferred by many players; or what do we ourselves like?

For me, The Oda. Nonstop survival action since turn one. Teaching those snobbish Samurai the power of Peasantry-wielding Pike-and-Shot.

I guess what I'm really thinking of is like the most iconic one.

Still subjective so there's really no answer.

Takeda forever guys!!!

Taking that bad ass Takeda Shingen and fighting wars on all fronts using a fully mounted army is one of the most fun campaigns I have ever had.

Best part is that this did historically happen. Or at least for central Japan. The Takeda didn't see those matchlocks coming at Nagashino.

Takeda.

For me, the most fun would be Hattori and then declaring war on everyone. This becomes very exciting.

Date, Otomo, simadzu

[DarkZoro12]

Hattori and Ikko Ikki

[Stalovsky]

Otomo and Uesugi. Uesugi needs very careful management on VH, can't imagine how scary it would be on Legendary. Otomo get the caravels and the amazing tercos

I'm just playing Ikko Ikki for the first time and like it...

[Destin Faroda]

Oda.

[Loli]
