 I laughed when I saw the mission. Here's to hoping that Japanese Granary Fire-proving hasn't improved.

shalcar posted:I suddenly regret everything. I join you in regret, as this is the first thing I've written in Japanese for 3 years now and is probably wrong as well as bad. I'll throw in English ones as well, about my favourite TW game. The laughter of Hannibal On War-Elephants Wood-Walled Cities, cherry blooms So easily plucked And carving a swathe through barbarous towns and lands like a blooming rose Unassailable My metal giants conquer The foe autumn leaves And I reach the prize As snow blankets the mountains and Rome will be taken (also i have shogun 2 anyhow)

Iamyourking posted:Unfortunately, no. It's explained as making a friendly Daimyo Shogun and ruling through him; which is still a bit odd considering that to the best of my knowledge they wanted to destroy the Samurai caste and overthrow both Shogun and Emperor.  I don't have my primary sources on hand here but there were several Samurai in the ranks of the different Ikki and several patriarchs hobnobbed with the Samurai. In addition to this they were allied with a couple of Samurai families or rather the Samurai courted the various Buddhist sects to use in their political machinations. They were sadly not as revolutionary as some people (myself included) had hoped; mostly they were just a continuation of the old problem of political power gathering in the hands of the temples, only with a slightly more evangelical bent than mainstream Mahayana Buddhism through their doctrine of the "Pure Land". If you are genuinely interested in the subject I highly recommend "War and Faith: Ikko Ikki in Late Muromachi Japan" , it's one of the better books on Japanese history I've read and probably the most thorough English language examination of the Ikko Ikki. As Shalcar asked there not be much 'sperging on topics not related to the game I ain't gonna go on more about it; I'd anyway mostly just be repeating what I read in that and the books it recommended.
