Needless to say I quit the play through, the trouble needed to fix everything would take longer than a restart, regardless of renown.

Thank you Ichimonji, you were great in Ran.

Is there any reason why I can't stab from horseback anymore? I looked for a spear that could do it but it seems to be bugged this time around.

I'll consider bringing a nice short stabby stabby tanto, for the tight spots in castles? I presume thats where you find bum rushing the face hugging occurring?

However if I remember, Chinese swords are better than katana/tachi? Liuyedao and those things have better damage, more length, and speed (I didn't remember, but i think it is better in speed too)

They have roughly the same speed and damage as a katana but a longer reach. That is helpful some times but can be rather nasty when your opponent gets up in your face and you can't kill him properly.

In my school of martial arts, if your opponent is right in your face you have done something wrong

Thank you for your earnest replies.

I figure I'd play a merchant who carries a chinese sword, since they weren't allowed to carry the daisho,
as for the gentleman who said you can't dual weild, it's correct, but the daisho was a symbol of status, had nothing to do with practicality, yet Musashi was known to use his wakizashi as a throwing weapon when in need, or as a extra aid to hold someone hostage, yet musashi refrained from using it on 1 to 1 duels, unless it was necessary...

If you can find me a picture with someone mounted with a nodachi and the intent to use it, I'd be very grateful, as far as I'm concerned they didn't see battle very often, and soon after Tokugawa consolidated power he cut down all the Nodachis in Japan down to a size of a modern Katana, some survived in shrines though.

It's somewhat of a mythical weapon, from my understanding... the precursor to the anime sword. Seems like the Tachi is more likely to have been the cav sword.

Another small question, I want to usurp a Clan, Takeda shhh what's the best way to go about this?

Again, Thanks.

Ah, another thing before I shut up. I tried playing as a Trader during my first few play-throughs and I found the Guild Quests to be either broken, or incredibly far and lame, and possibly broken as well, has anyone succesfully been a merchant in Gekokujo, and can you give me a few tips? I usually start out in Edo, and the first Guild Quest is to rescue the girl, I think, and perhaps there's another to find a bandit lair that is broken...
Anyone else have similar experiences?

Another thing is that historically,

I believe Samurai would carry, Yari, Daisho, Yumi and Arrows to battle, but there aren't enough weapon slots for all of these in WB, so it's impossible to use them all and one has to focus on some gimp combination, like forgo the all important Yari or not use the companion sword, and use a Tachi... I suppose that's ok...

Just some observatons, but it probably only bothers me cause I'm OCD.

Wouldn't it make more sense to use the cRPG forums?

I'm looking for new members altogether, cRPG forums don't have representation as a mod in TW forums.
