The bonuses of all clans
By Mikufer
It seems it is almost impossible to find a complete guide of what the clan bonuses are anywhere. Thus i created this simple guide, that can be accessed while in the game.

Being Shogun - you must capture and hold Kyoto for four seasons to become so - Grants:
+1 morale for all units
+2% bonus to clan-wide tax rate
+1 daimyo's honour
Enables recruitment of the Great Guard
Enables recruitment of the Nihon Maru

Gosh, I forget how old this game is this had to be specified in a guide and not in-game. I am so happy it changed in-game. I wish something like this existed for Empire: Total War.
For example, explaining differences between the factions military statistics or research progress.

The advantage of being shogun is that you don't have to worry about diplomacy anymore.

Genocide them before they genocide you.

Okay I'm going to be a nice guy here.

Some years in the past someone made a website (which is currently offline) But I basically spent some time before that to localize the stuff to make it work with the local encyclopedia.

Download this and drag it into your encyclopedia file. Will overwrite the standard region file with a lovely upgrade.

Why do Kubota Fujiwara get a debuff on levy cost like that?

The real question people should be asking is why is Fukuhara Taira censored? :lunar2019deadpanpig:
