Conquest Mode

Am I the only one who feels like the conquest mode is very sluggish at the start?

Yeah that's understandable. I remember being pissed I can't clear barbarians in ew7 fast

nagao and uesegui are the always the one who take ages to conquer lol

Could have been a sub-50 run if I didn’t get absurdly bad luck with Nagao on diplomacy. That part is still something I need to improve on.

Also, I’d wager Takeda is doable in 35 or so turns in the future. I didn’t play well on the diplomacy part there and got 44.

In fact, it is possible you start a speed run competition one day! In EW7 it wasn't possible because p2w players have an absurd advantage in conquests. Now we have more or less equal starting conditions between f2p and p2w players. Days of EW6 and EW6 1914 are back

Moment the Shogun's clan will declare war on you / war is declared.

As mentioned earlier, conquering the Ashikaga leads to -10 relations with everyone per turn because you are treasonous or treacherous towards the Shogunate.




Before and after winning as my first 2*, with an S-rank clear: Rokkaku.

I calculated that the sum of 10k from Battle Pass, first 2* clear, and a Rokkaku S-rank clear is 30k. This meant that my Hegemony-only clear was worth 10k copper.
The Ban-kin achievements seemed to cover for 65 of 90 Ban-kin earned, so that meant that Hegemony was woth 25 Ban-kin.

This assumes that I was only rewarded for a Hegemony because I didn't fulfil the Basic Clear criteria. This feels bad, but if it is the sum of both, for the players' sake, the rewards look far worse.

Also, you cannot capture empty friendly cities even as a subordinate. The friendly power and your suzerain will declare war on you.

Also, I still dislike the varying costs. I know that the guardians of the clan's effects take place during and after one AI turn. I found the fee to build a lvl 1 college to be 90 copper from the "original" 100 copper, after skipping a turn. Next turn, I paid 100 copper again.

Moreover, when the Nagao clan was falling, the cost of paying for 80% chance of anything went up the more I conquered (even if most were conquests of Nagao lands). Blackmail and negotiation exists for those on the backfoot to make some gains, but even this doesn't make much sense.

Also, I'm not sure if it's because my game lagged, but I encountered the same glitch as stoic did.

Subordinates: Wakasa Takeda, Iga Ninja, and Nagano.

Allies: Isshiki, Miyoshi, Kitabatake, Hatakeyama, Nagao, Matsudaira, and Anekagoji.

I gave food to boost relations with Miyoshi, which seemed to have fallen below the Alliance marker (+150 relations). Perhaps it reached the +100 marker?

Anyways, my game froze, I exited without cutting it from my Background App activity and entered again. No change. Repeated it and I was in the main Conquest page. I had won without a victory screen.
Rewards and Battle Pass points were given.

I think credit recovers on its own eventually anyway. I broke a passage agreement in the Hatakeyama run and tanked a -10 credit hit, but it got back to 70 a few turns later without doing anything.
