Mori Campaign Parts 10-20

1. After securing Shikoku, you can now continue your expansion by invading Kyushu. While larger than Shikoku, Kyushu should still be separated into at least 3 clans and therefore easy pickings for your mighty Mori fleets and armies.
2. It depends on how the game has been going, but it’s likely you’ll be facing the Ito in greatest numbers on Kyushu. There may also be a large force of Shimazu on the southern side of the island.
3. Before beginning your invasion, take some time to upgrade the buildings in your main territories and research a few economic techs. You’ll be needing much larger forces of men and ships to invade Honshu later on.
4. Build trade links to other clans and locate a few allies to assist you in your war on the mainland.
5. Once you’ve captured a territory or two, other clans will notice your aggressions and declare war on you. Be ready to fight on multiple fronts if necessary to keep your territories on the mainland safe.
6. Economically, keep upgrading your cities, occasionally building economic structures like markets. Also remember to keep your roads, farms and ports upgraded.
7. When you’re fully prepared, declare war on the weakest Kyushu clan (preferably one that has no allies nearby). Capture the clan’s capital and use it as a base from which to invade the rest of the island.
8. Neighboring clans may take notice of your aggression and declare war on you, but it’s likely that they will ...

Shogun 2 Walkthrough Parts 31-34

1. It’s time for the final battle. As the Chosokabe, you’ve overrun Shikoku and Kyushu as well as a fair portion of the Honshu mainland.
2. You’ve hopefully reached a position of dominance over the other clans, and have either gained the fear or the trust of the Shogun. You must now march to Kyoto and claim the shogunate for your own!
3. Standing between you and this goal are the armies of the Shogun, which while small are disciplined, experienced and lead by some excellent generals.
4. Since you’re so close to the end of the game, you don’t really need to worry about steady diplomacy. If going to war with the Shogun means war with the rest of the clans, so be it; you can afford it at this point.
5. The goal is to take Kyoto and hold it for one year. To do this you’ll need to position all your armies around the capital, since you’ll be attacked by all the remaining clans not already at war with the Shogun.
6. Kyoto lies at the center of Honshu, but from your position you should be able to reach it within a season or two.
7. It’s a good idea to capture a city near your own frontier that you can use as a base to attack Kyoto from. If your first attack fails, you’ll need a territory to fall back on.
8. If you have any allies left, have them attack the other hostile factions ...

Takeda Campaign Parts 31-32

1. The goal is to take Kyoto and hold it for one year. To do this you’ll need to position all your armies around the capital, since you’ll be attacked by all the remaining clans not already at war with the Shogun.
2. Kyoto lies at the center of Honshu, but from your position you should be able to reach it within a season or two.
3. It’s a good idea to capture a city near your own frontier that you can use as a base to attack Kyoto from. If your first attack fails, you’ll need a territory to fall back on.
4. If you have any allies left, have them attack the other hostile factions for you. This will act as a distraction for them as you march against Kyoto.
5. After capturing Kyoto, you must hold it for a single year. During that time, you will be attacked by the armies of the other clans.
6. Organize your armies around Kyoto, either at a distance or close in, to ensure that you can counter every attack that comes against you.
7. At sea, keep your trade fleets protected in case the other factions try to take them out. If your attempt to seize Kyoto fails, you’ll need to keep your economy running in order to finance another campaign.
8. After the year, if you’ve held 25 territories plus Kyoto for a single year, you will have won the short campaign. Well done!

Takeda Campaign Parts 21-30

1. After pushing into western Honshu, you’re in an excellent position to make a move at the shogunate.
2. Depending on how well you’ve served him in the past, the Shogun may begin to call on your clan to protect him against other clans. You can do as he asks if it means capturing more territory, or you can ignore him and watch your enemies all grow steadily weaker.
3. However, by now your fame has grown to such a point that the Shogun fears you (and with good reason). It’s likely he’ll begin asking other clans to attack you to bring you down a peg or two. This will mean that as soon as you advance on Kyoto, you’ll be at war with all the other clans.
4. With so much territory now at your command, revolts and uprisings will become more and more of a problem. You can garrison cities with troops to deter violence, but overtime this will become increasingly expensive.
5. Instead, try to improve citizen loyalty by constructing religious buildings and saki dens. They help citizens relax and accept your overlordship, while also allowing you to build special units like monks and ninjas.
6. Monks are used to spread your religion and your influence to other territories. Ninjas are useful at spying, sabotage and assassination.
7. You’re nearly there! As the Takeda you’ve conquered most of Honshu, subjugating the most powerful clans in Japan along the way. You must overcome the Shogun himself, along with ...

Odaiba

The islands of were originally constructed in 1853 to hold a series of forts (Daiba literally means "fort") to protect the city of Tokyo and the Tokugawa shogunate against attack by sea, primarily the Black Ships of Commodore Matthew Perry and the Americans interested in opening Japan to trade.

In the late 1980s, a futuristic redevelopment was planned for Odaiba. The new residential and commercial showcase of futuristic living was to be known as Tokyo Teleport Town and timed to be finished before the planned "International Urban Exposition" in 1996. But development of the project was drastically decreased after the burst of the "bubble economy" in the early 1990s and development was halted completely in 1995 (by which point over 1 trillion yen had already been spent)

The area remained Odaiba largely underpopulated and full of vacant lots until the late 90s when tourism and leasure began to pick up steam. Today, Odaiba is one of the most popular tourist areas of Tokyo as well as the headquarters of several businesses including Fuji Television.http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3008.htmlhttp://www.tokyoessentials.com/odaiba.htmlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odaiba
