Normal, but uesigi is a "hard" faction to start
honestly i thought i was fucking dead about 10 years in. I had 2 heroic victories while defending castles that i played which turned the tide, plus Hojo pissed off 7 people and got destroyed which saved my ass lol
now 20 years in, and I'm about to march ''east' (south)
next game i'll ramp to hard difficulty
i played medium because new game, didnt know all the whatevers
but ya
woo
fags
I almost died my last game since i thought I could make warrior monks just with a sweet fucking temple
but i needed the associated dojos to
:<
so i had no good units for a while
Also just pointing out - it's still 10$ off on Amazon direct download:
Amazon.com: Total War: Shogun 2 Limited Edition: PC: Video Games
It installs directly to Steam basically. You download it through Amazon's thing and Steam installs it.
