What a surprise. That's a tidy sum of profit we're making.
We've taken control of a nearby mine in Namioka. That nearly doubled our income.
Alkeides, head over to Namioka Palace and oversee things.
As you wish. I shall ease the suffering of the people in these troubled times.
Hiranuma's Military District is ready for an upgrade, what shall we add to it?
More troops would be nice. Construct the Drilling grounds. How goes the battle in the west?
Jarl Frank is captured but refused to join us.
That fool. He's been playing hero long enough. End his fantasies with the cold steel of reality.
It shall be done.
Tell Yuri to settle down in Namioka, refresh and resupply. Leave my daughters there to help with the repairs while continuing the siege on Ishikawa. LundB should return and resupply at his home base as well.
Is it not risky to attempt such a siege?
It'll be fine, the Nanbu's are near death. What about the tribals? Anyone we can bribe for support?
There are two new tribes to assimilate.
Start with the closest one to Namioka.
Tanabu Castle has nearly reached its maximum Crops and Conscript development.
Meanwhile Ishikawa Castle burns...
Free BBQ m8s. Shabu shabu the fuck out of them! Tear everything down! We'll feed ourselves full on their farms. Loot every shop, burn every building. Tonight, it's Japanese Buffet!
While Namioka Castle gets a new Fishery to capitalize on newly discovered seafood.
It nearly doubles our maximum Crops development capacity.
A captive from Nanbu converts to our side.
A lesser stubborn one was set free.
That's okay, cause he's just terrible.
The next month, Namioka Castle gains a Blacksmith to improve commerce and giving our siege an extra edge.
Omega, tell LundB to move out as well to Ishikawa, we'll link up with Yuri and storm the gates together.
'We'?
Yeah, it looks like I gotta lead an army for the first time.
An all out offensive was called. News of more enemy reinforcements rallied the people of Ishikawa into action. They pull out pitchforks, gathered all flammable materials...and burn their own lord's Castle.
A rather...unexpected behavior, don't you think?
One must understand human nature, Omega. "I've always thought that humanity was animal-like. The Confucian theory was man could be improved, but I'm not sure he can be. He can be trained, he can be disciplined." You've just seen what happens when a bond between a lord and his vassals shatter under duress.
That's deep lah. Who said that?
Lee Kuan Yew. We're here! Get in formation and prepare to storm the castle gates!
Pops! Let's get to work with the rams and ladders! Set these up nao!
August 1539, the defenders finally have had enough and stormed out of the castle gates.
They number 800 with an additional 1,300 coming coming from the south. A tribe of 1,500 ninjas join the fray at the last second to grant them a slight advantage.
My first battle. TO VICTORY! Nanbu's dominance ends today!
Five years of clan feud leading up to this point. Charge!
Kamisama, I am blessed.
Milord, all Nanbu clan forces have scattered.
Pops, I'm here. Sup?
Whatever, Sakae, let's go. 
do they have tentacles on their head?
