Re: Sengoku Rance
strange, the war with Ashikage(fish guy) is triggered when you first attacking another clan - you should have conversation of Choushin and Ikkyu about extracting money from you.On the next turn of Oda there should be already messenger from them, if you don't have higher priority events(usually, all conversations involving Nobunaga and Koihime have highest priority).Don't waste your actions on declaring war, which could be provoked by in-game events. I mean, they build the whole lot of script triggers just to keep player busy fighting at least one faction.
Also, save and reload is best answer, 8 out of 10 times enemy attacks have 2+ patterns in army contingent.Hara is hard to get to attack Oda territories, but you usually can give them one victory.Just search walkthrough to the point where you conquer them, and appraise if you will have enough forces or some free action to finish them in one turn by then.
Basically, if you repeatedly fail in some action, you could do some other action benefiting you immediatly(like purple event and level up at the same time, or imposing a full levy, or swap with action from the walkthrough few turns ahead), just note it somewhere and do it later. When you get third fan, managing actions is pretty easy(I even got the 4th fan a few turns before walkthrough, thus had a little more free actions)
Oh, and about managing that supply count - some captains are worthless in battles because of their low stats. So no matter how many troops you get, they'l just die very quickly. Each class has a specific stat, by which you should sort them (def for foot soldiers, attack for warriors,archers and ninja, int for mages,mikos and diviners).Speed is good for all classes(except foot soldiers.Having a footsoldier spamming guard when you could be attacking with mage instead is a bad thing),because having a high initiative-army allows you to make much more turns then your opponent(just kill off speedy ones first). Low stat guys should be either scouts, negotiators or dungeon heroes(high level and level cap) with less then 500 troops(499,hehe).
