There should be a pass between Kai and Shinano. Not being able to move from one to the other would be a major historical inaccuracy.

My question is, where can I find the README file that boots after the patch is loaded (or what is it's exact name, so I can search for it)? I stupidly closed it out before I read it.

There is a ReadMe.txt in the main folder.

Really nice patch, and the games alot more fun now. A couple of issues though, firstly I keep being spammed by my kokujin and diamyo for me to grant them more titles, even diamyo with 5 kori's and several kokujin vassals keep demanding more. Thats despite keeping the number of vassals as low as possible (I'm one of those anal people who wants 1 diamyo per kuni, then transfering any kokujin in that kuni to the diamyo). It really needs to happen less often, as I'm getting 2 or 3 of these events a year despite having like 6 vassals. The second issue is transfering vassals. Why does it cost me so much honor? I just transfered a 5 kori kokujin to a daimyo and it cost my over 20 honour...

Six vassals is not that small. Content/ambitious traits also increase the rate, as will being at war (everyone want part of the spoils). Look at the honor breakdown when transferring, I think it can cost around 4 honor if you choose the right candidate. If the vassal dislikes you or is a pretender it will cost significantly more (this is to prevent you to exploit the system too much without fully blocking it).

 

[Captain Gars]

That was mentioned before I believe, though I don't recall which thread. The defensive version of attacking plot; if the big clan declares on one of the coalition members, all coalition members declare on the big clan automatically. But this pact's mechanics should be more like "exchange hostages" and less like "plots", because plot members leave when a plot isnt executed and a defensive plot wont be executed right away, if at all. The pact should be valid for some fix amount of time and expire after that, like exchange hostages.

So what would stop all small clans from immediately join together in a gigantic defense pacts? And this game isn't really about staying alive, but expanding. If a number of small clans could join together in defensive pact strong enough to deter the strong neighbour from attacking, they should just start an offensive plot and take down the neighbour instead.

 

[Captain Gars]

Of course, if the plot as it is currently scripted can be triggered if the target attack one of the plotters as an aggressor, I'll be happy.

If you by that mean to be able to start the plot even though you haven't gotten enough plot power, that won't happen. As I said in another thread, that the plot leader waits to start the plot until it's strong enough is the only guarantee a plot backer has against being dragged into foolish wars that can't be won.

 

[Captain Gars]

The plot to attack a neighbour just requires that the two of you are at war - it doesn't matter who declares on who. So if you have 0.8 plotpower and is attacked you can still recruit additional members and then take the decision (and now it doesn't cost you anything either since the aggressor just paid the whole cost of declaring the war which means that you will have a higher honor than if you'd been the attacker, and the target way less - which might make it easier to get some of his vassals to join you).
