Overview
Provinces and allegiances in Rise of the Samurai This is my very first guide for any game. I am not mentioning this in order to brag about it, on the contrary, I did it, because I am open to any suggestion from anyone. Why would you even click on this guide? -This guide will show you which clan is occupying which province, and to which allegiance it pledges to. How will this help you through your campaign? – You will know which clan to vassalize and whicn not. And a lot more
Why bother clicking on this guide?
If you are a fan of the gempei war, then we have one thing in common. If you played RotS campaign then we have two things in common 🙂 The purpose of this guide is to make playing this campaign a little easier to anyone. And I hope that the people who are playing RotS on legendary difficulty will find this guide very useful.
How will this help you through the early stage of your campaign?
The answer is simple, you won’t have to lose turns, and movement points of your units and agents in order to explore your neighbours and discover other clans. This will save you valuable time. And believe me, good timing is one of the most important things in games like this one.
How will this help you through the late stage of the game?
When you conquer new provinces it gives you three options, to simply occupy it, to loot it & occupy it and the third one is to liberate it, and create a vassal clan of yours. I faced this problem, i created few vassals, and they were all from different allegiance. So i thought it would be much easier if I knew to whom which clan pledges allegiance. Other thing is building your unique Clan Palace, which spreads influence on neighbouring provinces. This means that you can vassalize clans that are not pledging to your allegiance, but you can influence the provinces, which is one of the main goals at the end of the campaign.
