We are top of tier 2 and on course for promotion back in to tier 1. We are in a strong position with complete automony and control of the Western Island. We have 2 choices, we can expand and spread in an aggresive manner or consolidate our positoin and gain automatic promotion back where we belong in tier 1.

I suggest we consolidate our position and rack up points on any of the Islands provinces that we control, even take a few sea lanes that surround us and take it easy for the rest of the season. Or perhaps prestige up and gain the10 extra veteran slots so we have more battlefield options. In our strong position we can experiment with other builds and learn new strategies and tactics maximising the potential that Shoguns vatious builds have to offer.

Your opinions please, and most of all have fun and play with honour.

although we are in tier 2 again for a second week for the first time ever....

my hat goes off to our clan mates past and present. this season our clan will attain a milestone!! 11,000 ranked land wins!!! thats something to be proud of guys!

as a clan we have had our ups and downs, at our peak we finished second place in tier 1 TWICE. again hats off.

to all our new members: this aint no fly by night clan, we are here to stay.

great job.

We currently have no full allies. But we have non-aggression pacts with the following clans:

-Total War Alliance [ they ask south shinano to be our border, we accepted.]
-Huntsman
-AvantGuard
-7samurai
-Hawks
-Total war Ukraine
-Dwarven Doom Legion

Please honor these non-aggression pacts. any attack by our members will result in war. We want to show our honor in this game and otherwise by living up to our end of these treaties. Thank you warriors. Keep up the great work!!
