I suppose I would have to go with my normal make up. A mix of Yari Samurai, Katana Samurai, and Naginata Samurai as the bulk of the army with only a small amount of Archers and a small amount of whichever cavilry has the best charge. I'm an infantry focusesed person.

Matchlock guys are basically direct-fire bowmen that can and will kill everything they see until someone fights them in melee.

Gotta say I'm surprised about the amount of people wanting to go the Christian route.  Should be good for a bit of FUN though :)
Well, I haven't tried it yet, and want to see what can go wrong before I do. Also, everyone hates you = fun.

I think I'd like a buch of naginata, with archers and a little cavalry. Gunpowder FTW when it arrives, though. This should be good.

Hey, no claiming until the generals are available  8)

The poll ends at March 24, 2011, 06:01:44 am, so whoever claims first after that point (assuming there's a winning clan) gets dibs on the first general.

Fine by me. I want the Daimyo though. He's not a general so I call dibs on him.

Alright, Shimazu it is then.

Somebody claim the initial general and tell me a little about their personality and preferred units / tactics :)

I'll take a general:

He has a very aggressive personality and prefers attacking to defending. That is, he WOULD prefer attacking to anything else, but since he only ever attacks the concept of defense is quite foreign to him. His favorite things include Killing, bloodshed, heads on stakes, fire, and long walks in the park,
Preferred units: Yari anything, Katanna Samurai, and Bow anything in a roughly 2:1:1 ratio.

Oh yeah, just to warn you all in advance, my PC isn't exactly top of the range, so don't be expecting the prettiest of screenshots.  Does anyone know if S2 can take screenshots in the same way as M2?  I seem to recall M2 would save an image every time you pressed 'print screen'

Protip: Steam recently implemented their own screenshot feature, bound to F12 by default. Works in any Steam game! (Once you quit, you'll be automatically shown a list of screenshots you took that session, with the option to delete them, save them locally, or upload them to your alloted storage in the Steam Cloud.)

Oh, and posting to watch.  :)

I love you Thexor :)

Alright, I'm gonna get started now then.  Extra generals will be offered out as and when they become available for play.  If anyone wants to claim an Agent, let me know.

Turn 1 has ended pretty well, but I can't work out how to link Steam screenshots to a forum.  Is it possible, or do I have to dust off the old photobucket?
