Since the game just launched and we have no strategy guides etc.. anyone who has had some success already mind listing the first few steps they took?
Is it really the first wife you choose, or does it change ? I know that during the demo spouse did change.
-Choose your first wife carefull, he will give you half her stats as bonuses, and get 4 wives as soon as possible, they will increase the chance of having a heir
-Don't start a war when you have vassals who hate you, they will backstab you at the worst moment
-Don't start a war against someone who is as strong as you, witouth an inside plot to help you have at least 2x the troops.
-If you start a war witouth having hostages from your other neighbours first they WILL stab you in the back the moment the war goes bad for you
-If you wan't to plot with a vassal of your enemy, send your MoG to sow dissent, send him gifts and try to get a marrige with him or his sons/daugthers
-Don't forget, to join a plot the AI needs to have enough honor to do so
-Don't give out so much land to a vassal that he will be stronger then you
-don't attack an enemy army in a mountain province or across rivers
Thats all I can think of right now, I'll post more if I can.
and this all results in:
- if you want to win the game start as Yamana, Hosokawa, Ouchi, Toki or Uesugi.. any other clan got no chance at all to unify japan.

I like how everyone was saying how the game must be too easy based on the AAR that King released and the video on youtube. Now everyone is saying its too hard. Onc I get plots to work this may well be a damn good game! Much appreciated.

Currently it is bugged and uses your most recent wife. Next patch it will use the best stat of any wife.
