So I just stumbled across this gem of a mod and I am thoroughly enjoying it. Without starting a new thread, I had some general questions about locational strengths, weaknesses, etc. that don't directly apply to what has been discussed above.
Some background: I started in the Hojo region, and have primarily done a cavalry based army based solely on Hojo troops. My kingdom (sp) started in the Satomi area so I never designated a culture and have allowed my various commanders to build whatever kind of army they wanted, culture-wise. Now the questions:
[list type=decimal]
[*]First, are there unique faction strengths in terms of specific unit types, weapons, armors, etc. and is there a place where these differences are posted? I've looked at the image linked earlier and I find it intuitive in terms of colors but confusing in terms of strengths. Color schemes are interesting but ultimately the realism stuff there isn't all that important to me. I'm just enjoying being able to play the game in this period and the modder(s) did a very nice job on this. Unit types aside, it seems as though the better specific weapon/armor types vary from town to town and I wasn't sure if this was random, market driven or clan based.
[*]Second, somewhat unrelated to the topic: if I designate a culture for the faction, will the cities from the old cultures start producing that specific culture's troop types?
