Total War: Shogun 2 Gameplay Information:
In the darkest age of Japan, endless war leaves a country divided. It is the middle of the 16th Century in Feudal Japan. The country, once ruled by a unified government, is now split into many warring clans. Ten legendary warlords strive for supremacy as conspiracies and conflicts wither the empire. Only one will rise above all to win the heart of a nation as the new shogun...The others will die by his sword.
Take on the role of one Daimyo, the clan leader, and use military engagements, economics and diplomacy to achieve the ultimate goal: re-unite Japan under his supreme command and become the new Shogun - the undisputed ruler of a pacified nation.
-----

*One thing I just realized I forgot to mention during the video, is that when inciting a revolt with an Ikko Ikki monk, the rebel army that spawns upon success will become yours along with the town if they manage to take it. You don't go to war with the clan they take it from either, Ikko Ikki monks are the only monks in the game to have this feature. Regular monk caused rebellions will spawn as either Buddhist or Christian rebels and when they take a town, it will become a rebel town.*

@TheManofthecross 7 лет назад

yea though when they do that you can't control those rebels anyway and only after they take the town is possible but also if you are sucessul at doing this multiple times but they keep getting crushed by other battle groups it will only make there groups stronger in terms of xp and vet troops and make your life pure hell so it is a risk to doing it that way and when I tried this very rarely had any one revolt spot been successful in taking a town. and they also spawn in proportion to the garason quality and quanity so it is a pain in the ass. the only way to get a good group there is to incite a revolt with a group at full card strength in the castle it'self and hope they don't get anilated and you can only have one rebel group at a time active in there.

@omegakaoz3658 7 лет назад

Hey you forgot to mention the Ikko Ikki temples' traits (which are in my opinion hands down the best in the game). Besides the fact that it gives you chi research reduction (-2/3% initally?) and access to recruit more monk agents and paired with dojos, different warrior monk units like your typical temple but you automatically have naginata Warrior Monk garrisons within your stronghold for free as long as you have the temple built which will spawn out with your samurai retainers, onna bushi (if you have a castle and/or citadel) and ashigaru. So you can essentially build a fortress/castle and pair that with Ikko temples and a small army in choke points like Settsu and Tajima to the west and you have a decent border guard. Depending on the tier of the temple, you can essentially get 2-3 warrior monk garrison per region. Other than that great video!

@Zazume_ 6 лет назад

I will always remember the Ikko Ikki. Not for playing them myself (didn't do that yet), but because they were a super loyal ally when I beat the Shogun 2 campaign for the second time (played as Chosokabe). Even after Realm Divide, they stayed an ally and actually kept some noisy enemies away from me (especially on sea) while conquering and holding Kyoto, before I marshed to Kyoto they actually slayed an Hatakeyama army that was camping near it. They eventually turned against me after the second turn holding Kyoto, they couldn't stop me from becoming Shogun at this point anymore. Thanks, Ikko Ikki :3

@primordialbias8711 6 лет назад

It's funny, because in my experience, at least with the Takeda, they always declare war on me the second their borders reach mine (Which doesn't take long). Same goes for the Uesugi and Oda.

@Zazume_ 6 лет назад

I think we became allies pretty early in the game, when our provinces weren't very near to each other, me being the Chosokabe, my home province is quite far away from Ikko Ikkis home province. At that point, we were allies for so long that they liked me enough to not declare war on me even on RD. Takeda's home province is much closer to them, so they start disliking you earlier.

@ph89787 5 лет назад

The Ikko Ikki are the Japanese version of the Faith Militant.

@pypy1986820 5 лет назад

Much better. They are more like Crusader Knights order such as Knights Templar. Warrior Monks and their fortress monastery are exempt from feudal tax and were individually wealthy and powerful due to religious donations and their single-mindedness training in martial arts and Buddhism (they are supposedly fanatical and fearless due to their Buddhist beliefs and the lack of family and other worldly attachments) since the vow of chastity and poverty practically took away any other worldly concerns for them. The biggest difference between them and GOT faith militant is Japanese warrior monks are professional elite soldiers with proper training, equipment, and monetary and logistic support just like Crusader Knights Orders. In fact, also similar to Crusader Knights, a good chunk of the warrior monks were ex-samurais who were defeated and choose to become a monk instead of committing seppuku. In GOT terms, warrior monks are very similar to Night's Watch with a lot of penitent ex-samurai joining the various fortress monasteries across the land when they become losers of political and military conflicts. Indeed, warrior monks sects accidentally becoming extra intimidating in Sengoku Jidai because of all the feudal wars created a lot of Ronin/masterless samurais and Samurai orphans to boost their ranks. So if you combine Night's Watch and Faith Militant, you probably gets equivalent of Warrior Monks sects for GOT.

Vassalising the Ikko Ikki as the Uesgi and watching them just tear Japan apart whilst I sat back and reaped the rewards was probably by best moment in Shogun 2.

@iterationfackshet1990 4 года назад

It’s funny how the Ikkō-Ikki suck with matchlock weapons in this game even though in history they were the most feared thing on the battlefield. At Ishiyami Hongan-ji 30,000 of Oda Nobunaga’s men were absolutely obliterated by 3,000 Ikkō-Ikki arquebusiers. This siege of Ishiyama Hongan-ji lasted so long that it was considered a campaign unto itself. Even the war against other Ikkō strongholds is named after the fortress of Ishiyama Hongan-ji.

@artymclabin8584 7 лет назад

You have underrated the matchlock ashigaru. I have just passed my Ikko Ikki campaign, with my primary mission building a matchlock army. these units are: 1) very. very. very powerful in castle protection 2) have ultra devastating damage as long as you keep an enemy near but busy (melee distraction) 3) along with accuracy improvements in your capital, they get pretty accurate, which make them useful in nearly every situation. i always win field battles with them, even outnumbered 4) hit n run tactics work uber-good. Have fun gunning.

@thepopulargirl1784 7 лет назад

Yeah there Castle defense is incredible. I had 4 gun monks just covering one side of my castle, and I thought, I'd probably have to send the spear ashigaru over eventually to reinforce, but nope. They just shot up every unit that tried to assault that side without letting them even get close enough to scale the wall.

Something really good that I found out is that loan sword ashigaru are amazing if you're able to bribe them as Oda. I got a couple of them alongside a couple bow ronin during an Oda Long Campaign, and even if the bow ronin were quite disappointing, the army I put them did amazingly well. By themselves, they fought off Date, Uesugi and Takeda, as well as the biggest pain the ass in the game in my opinion, aka the Honma Clan.

I played this clan a month ago and found them so bullshit lol. I used almost exclusively bow ashigaru once i found out how ridiculous the ikko ikki make them. I focused heavily on accuracy with them, and found their accuracy soon reaching between 60 and 70 for most once properly upgraded and trained. Which was insanity, because they turned all my enemies to paste before they reach me. I would watch enemies charge me and after a few volleys. They were routed before even clashing with my front lines. It became so crazy i checked my mods and found none of them affected my archers, and got bored after conquering all of middle japan and didn't even bother with Kyoto. Ikko ikki best faction 10/10 would block out the sun again lol

Also no matter what buildings you have your monks start off at level 1 even if you have buildings that would normally give them extra skill points. Omi is a good target because it is rich and will help you recruit higher level ninja which is important as the Ikko Ikki because otherwise you will have very low defense against other ninja (especially the nearby Hattori) assassinating your generals and monks and destroying your buildings. Even if you have to face the Oda and Hattori.

@pieterzwanenburg5450 Год назад

TIP : An interesting mechanic is that when you use the monks to incite revolts , the lower the percentage of ikko ikki inhabitants, the higher the chance of successful revolt. In addition, provinces without a lot of soldiers are less expensive to incite revolts in. Thus by first levelling up your monks, and then send them behind enemy lines to further away provinces with little soldiers ( often those not next to you, but one or two provinces away ) , you can incite revolts successfully for an acceptable price. In addition, when having trouble to maintain control of the newly acquired province, you can just use the acquired garrison to strengthen your own army or use them as a distraction by sending them to other provinces. Just let the newly acquired province rebel ! It doesn't matter , as it will wreak havoc on the enemy faction just the same! Also , the new owner will be rebels, rather than a powerful faction such as the Takeda or Date, so you can conquer these rebel provinces rather easily later on anyway !

@Tichrai2 5 лет назад

@Remitonov 28 дней назад

Probably my second favourite clan next to the Otomo. There's a certain catharsis in inciting entire armies of warrior monks in a rebellion and having them join your ranks, right next to overwhelming heathens with missionaries inciting God-fearing rebels. Normal monks just leave me tearing my hair out.

Whoa, matchlocks not good? Fire by rank broken? Man, you gotta attack with them in fire by rank not sit there, kind of odd but it works. I've tested fights of just yari and matchlock ashigaru vs all samurai armies and can wipe them out completely, and it being over half the cost means you can spread out as needed for realm divide. Give it a shot, pike and shot that is! ;)

@DesertCookie 11 месяцев назад

I just tried playing the Ikko Ikki for the first time. I've played "hard" clans before, but this medium clan absolutely challenged me. I would be at war with at least four other clans at all times, suing for peace whenever I could. Though peace would never last and at most two years later they'd attack again. The longest period I ever had to focus on my economy instead of recruiting was about two years in which I upgraded my castles wherever I could. Ultimately, I had stretched to five provinces total before being pushed back and losing everything within about, again, two years, after a total of nine clans had declared war on me within only half a year.

This clan is so hard. I have tried many times in hard and I just can't crack it. Maybe I just lack the patience to do every battle in a favorable way.

@flle6322 2 года назад

I didn’t have the option to start with the Ikko Ikki for a campagne. It ’s in a DLC?

@MrSmartDonkeyLP 2 года назад

Yup, it’s a DLC.

@Michael-lc4gr 5 лет назад

You mentioned the metsuke making you gold I believe? How is that? I thought you just used them to apprehend or suppress townsfolk.

Where does the info about fertile soil show? Or is that a hidden stat?

@MrSmartDonkeyLP 7 лет назад

When looking at the buildings in your town, you can see it by hovering over your farm building. You can only see it on your own towns though, not those of other clans.

@ecabernet 7 лет назад

Ok thanks for fast reply!

@pisk0r 7 лет назад

I'm waiting for Uesugi but that's not the most popular clan i guess, so they ll be prob at the end of this series

@MrSmartDonkeyLP 7 лет назад

I also have the least knowledge of them since I've never finished a campaign with them, so they probably will be somewhere towards the end indeed.

Has the Tokoguwa series been halted? I really enjoyed it :(

@MrSmartDonkeyLP 7 лет назад

No, the last episode went up just a few days ago. Next episode was supposed to go up today but because I accidentally uploaded the wrong Ikko Ikki Challenge episode yesterday I had to upload the right one today.

@isaiahalbright7072 7 лет назад

MrSmartDonkeyLP Great! That series is like virtual crack

@MrSmartDonkeyLP 7 лет назад

Glad to hear that :).

I can't find that the ikko ikki clan is it dlc or you unlock them somehow

@MrSmartDonkeyLP 6 лет назад

It's a DLC.

@LionbugLP 7 лет назад

no metsuke is SUCH a negative trait, legendary is impossible for Ikko xd

@justsomechapinatophat5517 3 года назад

*when you declare war on the Ikko Ikki thinking that they haven't done much and will be easy but then they steamroll you with countless stacks of Ronin from their countless provinces taken from the Takeda, Oda, and the Imagawa*

@newindika849 7 лет назад

Ikko Ikki are a very difficult clan to play with. First off your main problem during the campaign is your economy. Your income is very low and you don't have metsukes. Warrior monks are awesome, but expensive. The second difficult part is where you decide to expand. Forget about Omi, you can't defend it. So either north or south. Both are viable but going north is safer. You don't have access to nanban ships, so you can't defend the sea properly and the AI is very prone to do naval invasions. The only good thing about Ikko Ikki is that you start with an early realm divide. Everyone is going to declare war on you as soon as you border them. The key to survive this campaign is to spam ashigaru loan sword everywhere. Cheap & deadly. Temples are awesome. 2nd tier temples gives you two free warrior monks garrison. It's possible to win a legendary campaign with them but without doubt they are the most difficult clan to play with.

lol can relate this is my 5th attempt to play ikko ikki on hard mode before i watch mrsmart donkey video.

@cayden3410 4 года назад

Just to say it, every campaign IKKO IKKI kick my ass, so either I suck at the game, or they're dumb OP in AI's hands

@VvodeAn 7 лет назад

i have a question: should i rush the warrior monk skill tree all the way?

@MrSmartDonkeyLP 7 лет назад

Nah, they're pretty expensive so you won't be able to field too many for a while anyway, just get up to Essence of the Spirit and leave it there, although you don't have to rush for that either really, work on economy first and get that after.

@VvodeAn 7 лет назад

***** okay okay, build the economy first then essence of spirit... what should i do with the sakai? They are eager to attack in almost every playthrough of mine

@MrSmartDonkeyLP 7 лет назад

Like I said in the video, I tend to vassalize them and attempt to get an alliance with either the Oda or the Hattori and just focus on the east instead. You can easily use Echizen as a choke point, so even if people do decide to declare war on you in the west you can just shove a few units in there and you'll usually be fine.

@fireblast8972 7 лет назад

MrSmartDonkeyLP is it possible to convert metsukes from other armies as the ikko ikki?

@MrSmartDonkeyLP 7 лет назад

You can convert them in the same sense as every other faction can, it'll essentially kill them off. You can't convert them to your cause though, no clan can do that sadly.

@kuvy0jhm00b 7 лет назад

i might just be a straight noob, but i think the Ikko Ikki are one of the hardest unit to start off with. compared to the Date Clan where you start north you can easily sustain defensive fights and conquering from north to south, in my eyes way easier then having to fight and defend on two fronts. go east but then u have the west to worry about. ive win 1/10 games with the Ikko Ikki because even when taking Sado and some of the eastern side. it never fails in my game that once try to go for Echigo or the area with wood that you have early trade with from another clan with, forgot there name. by then you have somewhat of a choke point but even then u have to be precise about next move. Echigo is a gamble move because there like 3 ways you can enter from so defending that is just as painful. but like i said i might just be a noob.

@MrSmartDonkeyLP 7 лет назад

The Ikko Ikki are definitely one of the harder clans to play at the start, I think the Date have a more difficult starting position that it looks but they're still among the easier clans to start as. The Ikko Ikki early game units can easily carry a campaign though, recruit loads of Loan Sword Ashigaru and laugh at the enemies Yari Ashigaru as long as they're out of Yari Wall.

@andrewbergheim5238 7 лет назад

Could you do another FotS campaign at some point? There seems to be a real lack of content for that game out there, especially as Shogunate factions. An Aizu campaign could be interesting.

@MrSmartDonkeyLP 7 лет назад

More FotS is definitely on the table. No idea when though.
