missions_localised_description_bos_intro_1_mission_clan_level Although it saddens me to see our culture diluted by the barbarian ways of the westerners, there are many advantages to embracing their technology. To conduct advanced research we must first increase our capacity for development by building up our civic and industrial infrastructure. True
missions_localised_description_bos_intro_2a_mission_expand_shogun Imperialist forces seek to move against the Shogunate; we must claim their territory for ourselves if we are to prevent them from overthrowing the Shogunate! True
missions_localised_description_bos_intro_2b_mission_expand_imperial Shogunate loyalists will stop at nothing to prevent the Emperor's return to power; we must claim their territory for ourselves if we are to be prepared for all-out conflict! True
missions_localised_description_gem_fujiwara_hiraizumi_intro_mission If we are to reclaim our rightful place as regents to the imperial house, we will need an effective fighting force. Dispatch junsatsushi to spread our influence amongst those provinces most loyal to our cause. Once support for the Fujiwara amongst our neighbours is strong we should request their allegiance, thereby strengthening our position. True
missions_localised_description_gem_fujiwara_kubota_intro_mission If we are to reclaim our rightful place as regents to the imperial house, we will need an effective fighting force. Dispatch junsatsushi to spread our influence amongst those provinces most loyal to our cause. Once support for the Fujiwara amongst our neighbours is strong we should request their allegiance, thereby strengthening our position. True
missions_localised_description_gem_minamoto_kamakura_intro_mission If we are to exact vengeance upon our enemies, we will need an effective fighting force. Dispatch junsatsushi to spread our influence amongst those provinces most loyal to our cause. Once support for the Minamoto amongst our neighbours is strong we should request their allegiance, thereby strengthening our position. True
missions_localised_description_gem_minamoto_kiso_intro_mission If we are to exact vengeance upon our enemies, we will need an effective fighting force. Dispatch junsatsushi to spread our influence amongst those provinces most loyal to our cause. Once support for the Minamoto amongst our neighbours is strong we should request their allegiance, thereby strengthening our position. True
missions_localised_description_gem_taira_fukuhara_intro_mission If we are to subjugate those who seek to overthrow us, we will need an effective fighting force. Dispatch junsatsushi to spread our influence amongst those provinces most loyal to our cause. Once support for the Taira amongst our neighbours is strong we should request their allegiance, thereby strengthening our position. True
missions_localised_description_gem_taira_yashima_intro_mission If we are to subjugate those who seek to overthrow us, we will need an effective fighting force. Dispatch junsatsushi to spread our influence amongst those provinces most loyal to our cause. Once support for the Taira amongst our neighbours is strong we should request their allegiance, thereby strengthening our position. True
missions_localised_description_jap_chosokabe_intro_mission_one The Ichijo clan are all but ousted from our home province of Tosa. Nevertheless, some resistance remains to the northwest; we must crush what remains of the Ichijo and rid ourselves of our former rulers once and for all. True
missions_localised_description_jap_chosokabe_intro_mission_three Tosa is securely under our control; so begins our conquest of Shikoku. We will unite all the provinces under the Chosokabe banner! The Kono of Iyo are already moving against us; subjugating them first will avoid a war on two fronts. However, Awa province is a more strategically important target, being a source of superior warhorses. The choice is yours, my lord. True
missions_localised_description_jap_chosokabe_intro_mission_two How better to defeat one's enemies than by whittling them away beneath a hail of arrows before they can even engage? Our archers are already unmatched in their resilience; by developing their kyujutsu skills we will make them unbeatable! True
missions_localised_description_jap_date_intro_mission_one Our clan has been gripped by civil strife since the disagreements with Tanemune over the fate of your brother. Having gathered much support for your cause, you are now in a position to put an end to your father's rule. Defeat Tanemune's forces and the Date will be united once again! True
missions_localised_description_jap_date_intro_mission_three With Tanemune defeated, we must turn our attention to dangers from without. The Mogami, previously kept in check by our might, have capitalised upon our strife to strengthen their position and threaten the clan. They will pay for their audacity; the conquest of their lands will weaken them and enable us to reassert our position in the north! True
missions_localised_description_jap_date_intro_mission_two Fearlessness in battle breeds fear in one's enemies, and with that fear comes the certainty of defeat. There is nary a weapon so fearful in the hands of a warrior as the great sword. Mastering their use will enable us to better break all who would dare oppose us! True
missions_localised_description_jap_hattori_intro_mission_one Our clan has long maintained its independence from feudal warlords, but the rise of ambitious daimyo has placed our independence in jeopardy. We must be prepared for the coming storm; to this end, I propose we send a ninja into a neighbouring province to undermine our potential rivals and appropriate supplies. True
missions_localised_description_jap_hattori_intro_mission_three As warfare escalates across Japan, it is imperative that we extend our rule to neighbouring provinces, strengthening us and ensuring the safety of our people. While it pains me to take up arms against those with whom we have no quarrel, we must strike at any province except for Yamashiro; to challenge the shogun now would surely be suicide? True
missions_localised_description_jap_hattori_intro_mission_two War is an old game, yet few are prepared for unusual forms of attack. Our ninja warriors employ their mastery of ninjutsu to move stealthily about the battlefield, ambushing the enemy before melting back into the shadows. By refining our training methods we will further improve their potential. True
missions_localised_description_jap_hojo_intro_mission_one The Ogigayatsu and Yamanouchi clans - once bitter rivals - have put aside their differences and allied against our growing influence. Now, an Ogigayatsu army is approaching from the east, intent on pushing us out of Sagami province. Crush the army and their province of Musashi will be ripe for the taking! True
missions_localised_description_jap_hojo_intro_mission_three Having dealt with the Ogigayatsu, it is time to strike at their heart and vanquish them once and for all. By taking their province of Musashi for ourselves, not only will we remove the Ogigayatsu threat, but place ourselves in an ideal position to conquer the whole of Kanto. True
missions_localised_description_jap_hojo_intro_mission_two Hojo engineers are masters of their craft; we must use this skill to our advantage on the battlefield. Understanding of the strategy of attack will enable the establishment of workshops to craft siege engines and other advanced weaponry, thus rendering us invincible! True
missions_localised_description_jap_ikko_intro_mission_one The Jodo Shinshu temple was important in Omi. Our following among the people is now much reduced, but the faith is not forgotten. Rekindle the faith in Omi and, by doing so, make our return in strength more likely. True
missions_localised_description_jap_ikko_intro_mission_three The spirits of the downtrodden in Omi have been given hope. Now it is time to free their bodies as well as their souls. Raise an army of Ikko Ikki and take back Omi. Crush all who oppose the re-establishment of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism! True
missions_localised_description_jap_ikko_intro_mission_two The teachings of our spiritual forefathers hold true in the hearts of many. These teachings must now spread across all Japan, so that the people can be freed from their spiritual shackles. By mastering the spirit, our temples will have deeper roots, and our monks will become stronger champions of truth. True
missions_localised_description_jap_mori_intro_mission_one Frustrated in our attempts to invade the Amako heartland with our Ouchi allies, we have been compelled to return to our home province to consolidate our forces. The Amako have been quick to avail themselves of the situation and are now invading our territory from the north. They must be repelled at once! True
missions_localised_description_jap_mori_intro_mission_three For many years our great clan has been at war with the Amako; they must be shown that it is the Mori who are the true masters of Chugoku! Having dealt with their retaliatory attack, I can think of no better time to mount an offensive. True
missions_localised_description_jap_mori_intro_mission_two Our shipwrights are unmatched in their craft, our seafarers unmatched in their skill. We can use this superiority to our advantage, striking at our enemies' trade. Further improvement of our seafaring knowledge will ensure that we maintain this advantage! True
missions_localised_description_jap_oda_intro_mission_one As if it were not enough to contend with the rivals that surround us, our home province of Owari has long been gripped by internal strife. An army of rebels is marching from the southeast; they must be defeated if the clan is to be united. True
missions_localised_description_jap_oda_intro_mission_three As order has been achieved once more, we must strengthen our position in the area. Securing Mikawa province to the east will rid us of the Tokugawa menace and bring us closer to their Imagawa masters. Also, the Saito to the north are scheming against us and may prove less troublesome to overcome. However we proceed, the safety of our people in Owari must be ensured. True
missions_localised_description_jap_oda_intro_mission_two In recent years, we have perfected a training regime that enables us to field ashigaru of the finest calibre. Their chief weapon is the spear; cheap to manufacture, simple to learn and effective against both infantry and cavalry. Improving our mastery of spear-fighting techniques will maximise their combat potential. True
missions_localised_description_jap_otomo_intro_mission_one We have welcomed the nanban, their religion and their knowledge, and profited as a result. We must honour our agreements with them whilst taking care not to offend our subjects and their beliefs. Building a chapel will not only help economic growth and mastery of the arts, but will spread an understanding of Christianity across our domain. True
missions_localised_description_jap_otomo_intro_mission_three The chapel has been completed. We should now establish a nanban quarter at a foreign trade port, opening the way for greater military and trade opportunities. We can have Nanban ships for both commerce and conquest, armed with cannon to smash our enemies! True
missions_localised_description_jap_otomo_intro_mission_two Relations with the foreigners have many advantages, the greatest being gunpowder and gunmaking. It does not take years of practice to load and fire a matchlock, and I feel we have much to gain from being first among the clans to field many matchlock-armed ashigaru. True
missions_localised_description_jap_shimazu_intro_mission_one As Satsuma is firmly under Shimazu rule, we can now afford to extend our domain further. Osumi province to the east is an apt target; it is poorly defended and belongs to our old enemies - the Ito. Capturing it will bring them to heel and help secure our position in southern Kyushu! True
missions_localised_description_jap_shimazu_intro_mission_three As our clan grows, so do we require additional means to support our military and cultural endeavours. Trade with foreign powers will lead us to commodities and riches that cannot be sought in Japan. By establishing a trade port now we can construct ships with which to conduct foreign trade. True
missions_localised_description_jap_shimazu_intro_mission_two The sword; symbol of honour, symbol of strength. Peerless in kenjutsu, our samurai have katana skills that are matched only by their innate sense of honour and duty. We must further our understanding of kenjutsu, so that our men may continue to maintain their advantage in battle! True
missions_localised_description_jap_takeda_intro_mission_one While once we may have considered the Murakami allies, our prosperity and might has led to conflict between us. The Shinano warlords now invade from the north; engage their army so that they may bear witness to the might of the Takeda! True
missions_localised_description_jap_takeda_intro_mission_three The Murakami invasion has been halted and we must now put an end to their machinations once and for all. To this end, we must march forth into North Shinano and wrest control of the capital from our old rivals. Our position thus-strengthened, we will be better poised for further expansion into Honshu. True
missions_localised_description_jap_takeda_intro_mission_two All samurai are trained in horsemanship and mounted combat and, although vulnerable to enemy spears, the speed and power of cavalry can be instrumental in turning the tide of battle. Our samurai cavalry is unrivalled, my lord; furthering our understanding of form will allow us to maintain this advantage. True
missions_localised_description_jap_tokugawa_intro_mission_one The warmongering of the Oda and Imagawa clans has compelled us to choose sides and accept the protection of the Imagawa. Now we must stop the Oda invasion force that marches from the west before they take our homelands from us. True
missions_localised_description_jap_tokugawa_intro_mission_three The time for our inevitable expansion approaches. Attacking the Oda is the clearest course of action, but their homelands may prove difficult to assail. The Kiso present an easier target, but their neutrality makes them a potential ally. Were we stronger, we should rise against our Imagawa overlords, but we can ill-afford a war on two fronts. The choice is yours, my lord. True
missions_localised_description_jap_tokugawa_intro_mission_two Metsuke: using all the cunning at their disposal they entrap enemy agents and corrupt their troops; empowered by our daimyo's authority, they also weed out sedition in our midst. None are as capable as our own, and we must ensure that they can continue to mete out justice and manipulate the corruptible. True
missions_localised_description_jap_uesugi_intro_mission_one A coalition of loyal Uesugi retainers, distraught at Harukage's mismanagement of the clan, have urged you to take arms against their daimyo and assume control of the clan in his stead. His army of followers must be defeated before civil turmoil destroys our clan from within! True
missions_localised_description_jap_uesugi_intro_mission_three We can ill afford to sit idle whilst rival clans grow stronger about us. Kozuke province is held by our Yamanouchi vassals, but there are many other nearby provinces ripe for conquest. Of particular note are Etchu to the west, held by our Jinbo enemies, and the island of Sado, which holds riches invaluable to our expansion. The choice is yours, my lord. True
missions_localised_description_jap_uesugi_intro_mission_two Long have we prospered under the spiritual guidance of the kami and of Buddha. Such guidance helps men find strength both on and off the battlefield; mastering matters of the spirit enables our monks to better inspire the people whilst drawing fervent warrior monks to our cause. True
missions_localised_description_m_acts_sabotage Their ability to penetrate deep behind enemy lines without being detected enables ninja to put their sabotage skills to pertinent use. Damaged buildings cannot operate until such a time that they have been repaired; a skilled ninja should have little trouble in infiltrating a rival clan and undermining their production capabilities and infrastructure. I believe we could employ such a strategy to our advantage, my lord. True
missions_localised_description_m_advocate_of_enlightenment My lord, I notice that we are not currently fielding monks, despite having the ability to do so. Monks can inspire our troops or demoralise the enemy's, in addition to providing excellent protection against enemy metsuke. True
missions_localised_description_m_agrarian_matters Agriculture is the life blood upon which the clan subsists, yet we have farmland that is currently undeveloped. For the benefit of the clan we should ensure that we exploit our natural resources to the fullest. True
missions_localised_description_m_balance_of_strength_artillery Diversity on the battlefield is key to victory; every weapon has its purpose and every unit has its match. It has come to my attention that our forces are unbalanced, my lord; we are currently deploying comparatively few pieces of siege weaponry.\n\nSiege weapons are key to breaching even the most impenetrable of enemy strongholds, to say nothing of the damage such weapons inflict upon the individual. I strongly recommend that we construct more siege weapons at the first available opportunity. True
missions_localised_description_m_balance_of_strength_ashigaru Diversity on the battlefield is key to victory; every weapon has its purpose and every unit has its match. It has come to my attention that our forces are unbalanced, my lord; we are currently deploying comparatively few ashigaru.\n\nWhilst certainly no match for samurai in terms of martial prowess, they make up for their shortcomings through low upkeep costs and sheer strength of numbers. I strongly recommend that we bolster our existing ashigaru at the first available opportunity. True
missions_localised_description_m_balance_of_strength_cavalry Diversity on the battlefield is key to victory; every weapon has its purpose and every unit has its match. It has come to my attention that our forces are unbalanced, my lord; we are currently deploying comparatively few units of cavalry.\n\nAlthough vulnerable to spear points, the speed and power of cavalry makes them invaluable for flanking manoeuvres and in charging down ill-prepared enemies and archers. They also provide excellent means of deploying archers to vital support positions. I strongly recommend that we recruit more cavalry at the first available opportunity. True
missions_localised_description_m_balance_of_strength_heavy_naval My lord, it has come to my attention that our fleets are somewhat lacking in diversity; such diversity ensures readiness for any engagements in which our ships play part.\n\nWe are currently deploying comparatively few heavy ships; although slow and somewhat difficult to manoeuvre, these ships are effectively fortresses, resistant to attack and capable of holding many crewmembers. I recommend that we construct a heavy ship at the first available opportunity. True
missions_localised_description_m_balance_of_strength_infantry_melee Diversity on the battlefield is key to victory; every weapon has its purpose and every unit has its match. It has come to my attention that our forces are unbalanced, my lord; we are currently deploying comparatively few units of infantry.\n\nSoldiers specialised in close-quarters combat are the backbone of any army; to strike our enemies down or have them trampled beneath our hooves means nothing if our forces are no match for them once the battle descends into melee. I strongly recommend that we train additional melee troops at the first opportunity. True
missions_localised_description_m_balance_of_strength_infantry_ranged Diversity on the battlefield is key to victory; every weapon has its purpose and every unit has its match. It has come to my attention that our forces are unbalanced, my lord; we are currently deploying comparatively few foot archers.\n\nThe role that these troops play in softening the enemy before they can be dealt with in close combat is a vital one indeed. How better to thin the numbers and break the spirits of an incoming fighting force than with a volley of deadly arrow fire? I strongly recommend that we train more archers at the first available opportunity. True
missions_localised_description_m_balance_of_strength_light_naval My lord, it has come to my attention that our fleets are somewhat lacking in diversity; such diversity ensures readiness for any engagements in which our ships play part.\n\nWe are currently deploying comparatively few light ships; while incapable of holding more than a handful of crewmen and being open to all manners of attack, their size and speed means they can easily out-manoeuvre larger enemy ships while peppering them with arrows. I recommend that we construct a light ship at the first available opportunity. True
missions_localised_description_m_balance_of_strength_medium_naval My lord, it has come to my attention that our fleets are somewhat lacking in diversity; such diversity ensures readiness for any engagements in which our ships play part.\n\nWe are currently deploying comparatively few medium ships; good all-round vessels, they are of sufficient speed and manoeuvrability to evade heavy vessels and projectile attacks from lighter ships, while carrying sufficient crewmen to fight boarding actions. I recommend that we construct a medium ship at the first available opportunity. True
missions_localised_description_m_balance_of_strength_samurai Diversity on the battlefield is key to victory; every weapon has its purpose and every unit has its match. It has come to my attention that our forces are unbalanced, my lord; we are currently deploying comparatively few samurai.\n\nWhilst being somewhat costly to train and maintain, samurai are unmatched in strength of body and mind and are expert fighters across numerous martial disciplines. I strongly recommend that we bolster our samurai numbers at the first available opportunity. True
missions_localised_description_m_benefits_trade My lord, I cannot help but notice that we are not currently conducting trade with other clans. Aside from providing us with additional revenue, trade can give us access to resources and commodities that we lack whilst strengthening diplomatic relations with our trade partners. I strongly recommend that we establish a trade agreement with another clan as soon as possible. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_construct_financial Warfare is taking its toll upon our coffers, my lord. I recommend improving our commercial infrastructure so it may better support our military. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_imperial_attack_shogun This clan has openly rejected the Emperor's divine authority. His enemies must be destroyed! True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_imperial_bribe_enemy_army An enemy force draws near, my lord. By sending ishin shishi we may yet persuade them to abandon the Shogun and join the army of the one, rightful Emperor! True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_imperial_capture_edo The Shogunate's grip on Edo must be broken at all costs; the city must be seized for the Emperor! True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_imperial_capture_kyoto The Shogunate's grip on Kyoto must be broken at all costs; the city must be seized for the Emperor! True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_imperial_capture_region War rages on, and the Emperor's enemies are everywhere. This adjacent province is controlled by Shogunate loyalists and should be captured immediately! True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_imperial_convert_other_region As we expand our domain, we must ensure support for the Emperor's return to power. By converting provinces to our cause before conquest, we make it easier to maintain control. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_imperial_convert_own_region Troubling news, my lord! One of our provinces has been coerced into support of the Shogunate. If we are to maintain control, they must show loyalty to the one true Emperor! True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_imperial_crush_rebellion My lord! Pro-Shogunate dissidents have mounted a rebellion in this province! Crush them to show the people that the days of the Shogunate are over. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_imperial_incite_revolt Support for the Shogunate persists across the country, but here the cause of the Emperor is strong. Incite a revolt here so the province joins us! True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_imperial_kill_character This rival clan will do everything in their power to prevent the Emperor's ascent to power. By assassinating their generals and agents we will impede their treacherous endeavours! True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_imperial_kill_daimyo_in_battle This daimyo is a staunch defender of the Shogunate. Kill him in battle and we break the spirits of his followers and allies alike! True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_kill_general_in_battle Without a great warrior to lead them in battle, an army's strength is diminished. To see their leader fall before their eyes is to break their spirits utterly. When in battle, we should always aim to kill their general. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_naval_power My lord! Have we learned nothing from the unfair agreements foisted upon us by the western powers? Our naval superiority is paramount and I fear we are not exploiting the many advances in naval technology. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_old_ways Must we be so quick to forget our military heritage, my lord? We have all but abandoned the use of traditional methods; our samurai are despondent, their armour and weapons left to rust. The old ways can still make short work of the more modern, unarmoured soldier. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_recruit_geisha It has come to my attention that we are not fielding geisha, despite having the ability to recruit them. I recommend that we recruit one at the first opportunity. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_recruit_imperial_ishin_shishi It has come to my attention that we are not fielding ishin shishi, despite having the ability to recruit them. I recommend that we recruit one at the first opportunity. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_recruit_shinobi It has come to my attention that we are not fielding any shinobi, despite having the ability to recruit them. I recommend that we recruit one at the first opportunity. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_recruit_shogun_shinsengumi It has come to my attention that we are not fielding any shinsengumi, despite having the ability to recruit them. I recommend that we recruit one at the first opportunity. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_recruit_veteran It has come to my attention that we are not fielding any foreign veterans, despite having the ability to recruit them. I recommend that we recruit one at the first opportunity. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_reinforce_region_capital My lord! The enemy are almost upon our home province, yet there are barely any troops defending the capital! I beseech you to recruit troops there at once! True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_reinforce_region_unrest Public order in this province is low, my lord; it will take little further unrest before the population revolts. I recommend recruiting a garrison here at the first opportunity. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_research_civil These are times of great change, my lord, and we cannot hope to survive through military might alone. I am concerned that there is too great a focus on military matters at the expense of civil ones. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_research_military This is a time of strife, my lord, and I am concerned that there is too great a focus on civil development. I recommend that we improve our military technology to give us the edge in battle. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_sabotage_force My lord! The enemy encroaches upon our land! We can hinder their progress with agents to sabotage, harass and distract their forces. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_seduce_character Rare is the man who can resist the charms of a beautiful and talented lady. Should our geisha win the hearts of rival generals or agents, they will abandon their masters and join our clan. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_shogun_attack_imperial This clan has openly condemned the Shogunate and its wise management of our country. The enemies of the Shogun must be destroyed! True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_shogun_bribe_enemy_army An Imperial force draws near, my lord. By sending shinsengumi to coerce them to co-operate, they may yet abandon their futile crusade and join our ranks. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_shogun_capture_edo Imperial loyalists have seized Edo! For the good of the Shogunate, it must be recaptured! True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_shogun_capture_kyoto Imperial loyalists have seized Kyoto! For the good of the Shogunate, it must be recaptured! True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_shogun_capture_region War rages on, and the Shogun's enemies are everywhere. This province is under Imperial control; it should be captured immediately. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_shogun_convert_other_region As we expand our domain we must ensure that our people fully support the Shogunate. By converting enemy provinces to our cause prior to conquest, we make it easier to maintain control later. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_shogun_convert_own_region Troubling news, my lord! One of our provinces has been coerced into support of the Emperor! If we are to regain control, the populace must be brought back around to the Shogun's way of thinking. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_shogun_crush_rebellion My lord! Imperialist dissidents have mounted a rebellion in this province! Crush them to show the people that the Emperor's lackeys will never take control. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_shogun_incite_revolt The Imperialist cause has swayed many, but support for the Shogun is strong in this province. Incite a revolt here so they might have his protection. True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_shogun_kill_character This clan has sworn to overthrow the Shogunate. By assassinating their generals and agents we will impede their treachery! True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_shogun_kill_daimyo_in_battle This daimyo is a staunch supporter of the Emperor. Kill him in battle and we may yet break the spirits of his traitorous followers! True
missions_localised_description_m_bos_shogun_military_expedition Insurgents from this clan have spread violent unrest throughout the lands, moving the Shogun to issue a call to arms: the traitors must be defeated with haste! True
missions_localised_description_m_breaking_the_blockade Our ignoble enemies have deigned to blockade one of our ports, interrupting all services and trade that flow through it. We must break the blockade as soon as possible so normal operations can resume. True
missions_localised_description_m_business_of_peace It distresses us, lord, to see two of our most valued trade partners here in Japan wage bloody war against one another. We may reap financial benefits from furnishing both clans with our prized firearms, but our mercantile efforts would be compromised should one of you succumb to the machinations of the other.\n\nWere you to make peace and resolve to use our weaponry against lesser clans, I'm sure we could arrange a discount for our services. True
missions_localised_description_m_cold_blood The agents of our rivals are everywhere, my lord. We should begin a programme of assassination to assert the superiority of our clan. If successful, we will not only rid ourselves of potential threats to our plans, but will appear blameless in the act. True
missions_localised_description_m_common_cause Our reports indicate that there is a clan with whom we share a common enemy. I recommend that we take this opportunity to seek an alliance with them; united in arms we will stand a greater chance of crushing our mutual enemies once and for all! True
missions_localised_description_m_constant_foe This general has been a thorn in our side for too long - meeting our forces in battle time and again and always surviving to fight another day. It is imperative that he be eliminated, lest he continue to wreak havoc with our grand strategy! True
missions_localised_description_m_counterattack My lord! An enemy clan has sent an attack force into our domain. Defeat of the invaders in battle will both weaken and prove that they are no match for our military might! True
missions_localised_description_m_crippling_trade In order to undermine the military endeavours of the enemy we must attack their sources of revenue. I recommend we sabotage one of the ports that contribute to their income. True
missions_localised_description_m_cultural_development We cannot hope to survive through sheer military might alone, my lord. I am therefore curious as to why so few resources have been devoted to the betterment of clan administration and infrastructure of late; surely, by investing in our clan's civil development we can better support our military endeavours? True
missions_localised_description_m_daimyo_assassin This daimyo presumes to wage war against our clan, yet rumours abound that he remains within the safety of his homelands like a craven coward. I propose that we end his life as he chooses to live it. There is no honour or glory in cowardice and indolence; assassination is a just reward for such dishonourable behaviour. True
missions_localised_description_m_delusions_grandeur This clan's recent rise to power concerns the shogun greatly. Convinced that their daimyo covets power over Japan and all her provinces for himself, the Shogun insists that steps be taken to bring the clan to heel. We have therefore been granted the authority to take military action against them. True
missions_localised_description_m_demoralising_enemies_buddhist Forces belonging to a rival clan are posing a threat to our security. By sending a monk to weaken their army's resolve we will gain a distinct advantage should we choose to meet them in battle. True
missions_localised_description_m_demoralising_enemies_christian Forces belonging to a rival clan are posing a threat to our security. By sending a missionary to weaken their army's resolve we will gain a distinct advantage should we choose to meet them in battle. True
missions_localised_description_m_demoralising_enemies_ikko Forces belonging to a rival clan are posing a threat to our security. By sending an Ikko monk to weaken their army's resolve we will gain a distinct advantage should we choose to meet them in battle. True
missions_localised_description_m_enemies_progress We come to Japan with nothing but the best interests of both our peoples at heart, yet this clan does nothing but shun our requests for trade and cultural exchange. This persistent denial will surely prove detrimental to Euro-Japanese relations; measures must be undertaken to bring them to heel. True
missions_localised_description_m_enemy_tradition The daimyo of this clan has seen fit to fully abandon the Japanese way and cast his lot with the nanban and their false religion. Their narrow-minded cultural views and intolerance of our spirituality are an affront upon the kami, our ancestors and the people of Nippon. It is the shogun's wish that measures be taken to subjugating this man and his clan. True
missions_localised_description_m_eye_for_eye The audacity of our enemies knows no bounds, my lord. They have seized our home province from us, striking at the very heart of the clan. We must reclaim our territory and stage a massive retaliation against their own powerbase. This insolence will not stand! True
missions_localised_description_m_false_justice An enemy metsuke is operating dangerously close to our lands. It may be that he intends to dispense false justice to our agents or corrupt the minds of our faithful clansmen and turn them against us. Either way this man should be eliminated at once. True
missions_localised_description_m_firebrand_missionary This missionary has been wandering our lands, openly condemning the teachings of Buddha, preaching the non-existence of the kami and of our ancestral spirits and all the while evangelising his own monotheistic ideals. The dissent caused cannot be disregarded, nor can his affront upon our spiritual heritage. He must be eliminated at once. True
missions_localised_description_m_firebrand_monk This monk has been wandering our lands, spreading his Buddhist falsehoods amongst our good, God-fearing people whilst poisoning their minds with old superstitions. He must be eliminated before his false teachings lead any more of our flock unto perdition, an example to all those who would presume to abandon the Lord. True
missions_localised_description_m_fortification Castles are both the martial and cultural heart of our provinces. To leave a castle undeveloped is to leave a province weak, its full potential squandered. This is especially true in frontier provinces during periods of warfare, where defensive capability and optimisation of production are vital. This frontier castle remains undeveloped, my lord; now may be the time for fortification. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_acts_sabotage Their ability to penetrate deep behind enemy lines without being detected enables monomi to put their sabotage skills to pertinent use. Damaged buildings cannot operate until such a time that they have been repaired. I believe we could employ such a strategy to our advantage, my lord. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_advocate_of_enlightenment My lord, I notice that we are not currently fielding sou, despite having the ability to do so. Sou can inspire our troops or demoralise the enemy's, in addition to providing excellent protection against enemy junsatsushi. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_all_assassinate_general A formidable enemy force is threatening our lands and armies; they must be stopped. By assassinating their general before joining battle we greatly diminish their potential. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_convert_province_own My lord! Our influence is dangerously low in this province! Unless measures are taken, the province will be open to the political machinations of our foes! True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_delusions_grandeur The imperial house fears that this family has grown too strong of late. As such, a call to arms has been issued against them. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_demoralising_enemies Forces belonging to a rival clan are posing a threat to our security. By sending a sou to weaken their army's resolve we will gain a distinct advantage should we choose to meet them in battle. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_fuj_capture_kyoto As we continue taking control of provinces we draw nearer to Kyoto and our former seat of power. For the glory of our family, we must recapture the old capital! True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_fuj_capture_yamato Yamato province; home to the Kofukuji temple, which has served the spiritual needs of the Fujiwara for centuries. Our military exploits bring us ever-closer to Yamato, my lord. For the greater good of our people, the province must be reclaimed. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_fuj_construct_propaganda Until now, we have gained support with propaganda and military repute. But words and deeds are fast forgotten; we deserve a more permanent testament to our glory. Construct a Fujiwara palace for all to behold and be inspired by! True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_fuj_convert_province_neighbour As we fight to crush our enemies the battle to win the hearts and minds of the people rages across Japan. This neighbouring province has little love for the Fujiwara; we must gather support there before it is conquered. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_incite_revolt This province may be under enemy control, but the local populace has little love for their so-called masters. Send forth a sou to sow dissent amongst the people. Our enemy's lack of foresight will be his downfall! True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_instrument_of_justice My lord, I notice that we are not currently fielding junsatsushi despite having the ability to do so. Their authority is absolute, abating feelings of disloyalty by their presence and directing clan funds to the bribery of enemy armies and possessions. They also rally support for our clan amongst the populace and can seek allegiance from provinces in which our influence is strong. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_intellectual_matters Rare is the clan that excels in every field of research, but that should not preclude one from aspiring to do so. By establishing a place of learning we will be able to increase our rate of technological and philosophical progress. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_irresistible_charm My lord, I notice that we are not currently fielding shirabyoshi, despite having the ability to do so. By exploiting their feminine wiles, shirabyoshi keep our subjects loyal and can seduce enemies into  joining our cause. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_master_of_artifice My lord, I notice that we are not currently fielding monomi despite having the ability to do so. A master of subterfuge, a monomi's skills enable him to spy on enemies, sabotage their possessions and their armies whilst remaining undetected. Monomi are also expert assassins, striking from the shadows to kill enemy generals and agents before they have a chance to react. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_min_capture_kyoto Kyoto is within our grasp, my lord. The former capital is a symbol of the old days, a reminder of the corruption and self-importance that has caused much turmoil in recent years. We must seize the city and see to it that the mistakes of the past are not repeated. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_min_construct_propaganda Until now, we have gained support with propaganda and military repute. But words and deeds are fast forgotten; we deserve a more permanent testament to our glory. Construct a Minamoto palace for all to behold and be inspired by! True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_min_convert_province_neighbour As we fight to crush our enemies the battle to win the hearts and minds of the people rages across Japan. This neighbouring province has little love for the Minamoto; we must gather support there before it is conquered. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_preventive_measures My lord, our domain has been assailed by an enemy clan! We must deploy monomi to sabotage their supplies, giving us time to prepare defences and muster retaliatory forces. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_request_allegiance My lord! Our sources inform us that support for our clan is strong in this province. While we could take the castle by force, I recommend sending a junsatsushi to seek their allegiance first. It may prove costly, but we may avoid unnecessary losses later. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_seduce_character Loyalty and conviction mean nothing when faced with the power of a woman's charm. By using our shirabyoshi to seduce rival subjects we can compel them to break their ties and throw their lots in with us. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_subversive_strategies As our influence spreads throughout the provinces we may encounter situations where our strategy is put at risk by enemy forces moving to intercept us or reinforce their allies. By sabotaging armies as they sit encamped our monomi will be able to halt their progress, leaving them open to attack or preventing them from doing so themselves. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_tai_capture_kyoto While we may have moved our seat of power from the old capital to Fukuhara, Kyoto remains a symbol of tradition and power. If we are to maintain our authority, we must ensure that Kyoto remains under Taira control. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_tai_construct_propaganda Until now, we have gained support with propaganda and military repute. But words and deeds are fast forgotten; we deserve a more permanent testament to our glory. Construct a Taira palace for all to behold and be inspired by! True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_tai_convert_province_neighbour As we fight to crush our enemies, the battle to win the hearts and minds of the people rages across Japan. This neighbouring province has little love for the Minamoto; we must gather support there before it is conquered. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_turned_against_them We are at war, my lord, and our enemies have invaded our domain. An attack force is now within our borders, posing a threat to both your power and our people. We must deploy a junsatsushi to bribe them into joining us; we can turn our enemy's own warriors against him! True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_unscrupulous Using our junsatsushi we can bribe enemy armies into joining our ranks. Bribery can be a costly process, especially when such armies are led by a general - but even the most loyal of men has his price, and the advantage gained by instantly swelling our ranks is a substantial one. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_war_words Strength of body and superior training are key to an army's success, but there are means of weakening one's opponents when military superiority is not assured. The enemy's morale can be compromised by sending sou to break an army's spirit with words of dread and desperation before the first blow has been struck. True
missions_localised_description_m_gem_worthy_adversary Our scouts have spied a rival lord conducting manoeuvres in a neighbouring province. This presents us with the perfect opportunity to strike a devastating blow to our enemies and the chance to prove our mettle against a worthy foe. True
missions_localised_description_m_good_fight We are proud of your endeavours to uphold Christianity in spite of opposition from those who cling hopelessly to false hope and hollow superstitions. If more of your countrymen are to be saved from eternal damnation, however, more must be done to spread the good word of our Lord. True
missions_localised_description_m_hard_times Our financial situation is unfortunate, my lord, and unless measures are taken to increase the clan's income we may succumb to bankruptcy. While we could develop our economic infrastructure or even disband part of our military forces, establishing a trade agreement with another clan may present an immediate and effective solution to our financial woes. True
missions_localised_description_m_home_guard My lord! We are at war, yet our home province lies barely garrisoned! For the good of the clan I must insist that we reinforce our home province lest it fall prey to our enemies. True
missions_localised_description_m_indomitable Intelligence indicates that this man, a servant of our foes, has achieved unprecedented success upon the fields of battle. So indomitable a warrior poses a great threat to our clan's security both in terms of his martial prowess and of the confidence with which he undoubtedly instils his men. To defeat such a man in battle would be a crushing blow to his clan! True
missions_localised_description_m_instrument_of_justice My lord, I notice that we are not currently fielding metsuke despite having the ability to do so. Metsuke are experts at apprehending and bringing to justice enemy ninja. Their authority is absolute, abating feelings of disloyalty by their presence and directing clan funds to the bribery of enemy armies and possessions. True
missions_localised_description_m_instruments_of_war In this dark period of warfare it is vital that our warriors receive not only the best training but the finest arms and armour as well. As such, I wholeheartedly recommend that we capture this province, reputed for its fine smithing tradition. True
missions_localised_description_m_insurgency The collapse of public order in this province has resulted in a local uprising! If we do not move to crush it as soon as possible, the rebels will seize it for themselves. We cannot allow this to happen! True
missions_localised_description_m_intellectual_matters Rare is the clan that excels in every field of research, but that should not preclude one from aspiring to do so. By establishing a place of learning we will be able to increase our rate of technological and philosophical progress. True
missions_localised_description_m_into_fold_buddhist This province is in turmoil; the predominantly Buddhist populace living in fear of their repressive Christian daimyo. For their sake, let us send a force to capture the province at once to free the people from religious oppression. True
missions_localised_description_m_into_fold_christian We have word from our missionaries that the predominantly God-fearing people of this province yearn to be freed from their oppressive heathen masters. For their sake, we beseech you as a just Christian leader to capture this province and bring its people into the clan. True
missions_localised_description_m_into_fold_ikko Many of the people in this province have chosen to follow the Jodo Shinshu way, yet they live in fear of bigoted masters who would see them suffer for their beliefs. We must send an army of Ikko Ikki at once to free the people from their spiritual shackles. True
missions_localised_description_m_keeping_peace Public order in this province is low, my lord, and unless something is done soon we may be faced with an uprising. I recommend that we reinforce the local garrison to help keep the population in check. True
missions_localised_description_m_march_kyoto My lord! The shogunate, backed by the majority of clans that have so far persisted in aggression, are waging war against us for fear of your power and of our military might. The time has come to fulfil our glorious destiny; march on Kyoto and assume control of the shogunate. Japan will be united under your rule! True
missions_localised_description_m_master_of_artifice My lord, I notice that we are not currently fielding ninja despite having the ability to do so. A master of subterfuge, a ninja's skills enable him to spy on enemies or sabotage their armies and possessions whilst remaining undetected. Ninja are also expert assassins, striking from the shadows to kill enemy generals and agents before they have a chance to react. True
missions_localised_description_m_naval_dominance The sea gives sustenance and presents opportunities for trade, but is vast and impossible to control. If we are to prevent our enemies from interfering with our sea trade or attempting to land an invasion force on our soil, we must endeavour to maintain martial superiority at sea. By defeating an enemy navy, we will weaken their naval potential whilst strengthening our own crews' resolve. True
missions_localised_description_m_naval_obstruction One of the enemy's ports that has been developed to a high level. Left unchecked, it will increase their trade potential whilst enabling the production of high-quality naval vessels. I recommend that we blockade the port immediately. True
missions_localised_description_m_need_for_allies My lord, we wage war alone and against all odds. I do not question your ability to lead our clan to glory, but if we are to continue making enemies of those who would oppose us then I implore you to consider making allies amongst the daimyo with whom we share ideals and aspirations. True
missions_localised_description_m_offensive Sharing borders with one's enemies is a mixed blessing. Although proximity to such a clan puts our forces and lands at considerable risk, the opposite is also true. We must be the first to take decisive action. As such, I strongly recommend that we undermine their confidence and prestige by inflicting a crushing defeat upon them. True
missions_localised_description_m_otomo_persecution Troubling news, my lord. The daimyo of this province has outlawed Christianity, declaring that any Japanese converts will be sentenced to death. Under their rule, our brethren in Christ now fear for their lives. Can such persecution go unchallenged? True
missions_localised_description_m_path_of_liberation Christianity is spreading like a plague throughout Japan, posing a great threat to our cultural heritage. This province has erred too far from tradition and the teachings of Buddha; they must be made to renounce the lies before their influence is allowed to spread any further! True
missions_localised_description_m_pressing_attack We are at war, my lord. Supremacy over our enemies must be maintained; by pressing the attack against our neighbouring foes and securing their territory for ourselves we can strengthen our clan's potential whilst weakening theirs.\n True
missions_localised_description_m_preventive_measures My lord, our domain has been assailed by an enemy clan! We must deploy ninja to infiltrate their armies and sabotage their supplies, giving us time to prepare defences and muster retaliatory forces. True
missions_localised_description_m_preying_weak My lord, our agents inform us that this enemy province lies barely defended, a target ripe for the taking! I recommend that we move to conquer it for ourselves before our rivals get the chance to reinforce its garrison. True
missions_localised_description_m_proof_might A competent leader inspires unyielding resolve in his men whilst employing all his skills and experience to help gain the upper hand; deprive an army of its commander in the heat of battle and this advantage is lost. When doing battle with enemy forces we must take every opportunity to kill their generals. True
missions_localised_description_m_protecting_our_interests Our trade partner has had their port blockaded by their enemies. Their economic wellbeing must be ensured if our relationship is to endure; I strongly advise that we move to break the blockade at once. True
missions_localised_description_m_resource_management_goods The clan grows strong, my lord, yet we still lack our own source of craft goods. While we might obtain such goods through diplomatic means, the only way that we can ensure a stable supply is by controlling a province renowned for its crafting and production. Our strategists have identified such a province; I recommend that we capture it forthwith. True
missions_localised_description_m_resource_management_iron The clan grows strong, my lord, yet we still lack our own source of superior iron. While we might obtain iron through diplomatic means, the only way that we can ensure a stable supply is by controlling a province rich in this metal. Our strategists have identified such a province; I recommend that we capture it forthwith. True
missions_localised_description_m_resource_management_stone The clan grows strong, my lord, yet we still lack our own source of superior stone. While we might obtain stone through diplomatic means, the only way in which we can ensure a stable supply is by controlling a province distinguished by its durable rock. Our strategists have identified such a province; I recommend that we capture it forthwith. True
missions_localised_description_m_resource_management_warhorses The clan grows strong, my lord, yet we still lack our own source of superior warhorses. While we might obtain horses through diplomatic means, the only way in which we can ensure a regular supply is by controlling a province distinguished by an abundance of the finest breeds. Our strategists have identified such a province; I recommend that we capture it forthwith. True
missions_localised_description_m_resource_management_wood The clan grows strong, my lord, yet we still lack our own source of superior timber. While we might obtain timber through diplomatic means, the only way in which we can ensure a stable supply is by controlling a province with an abundance of fine trees. Our strategists have identified such a province; I recommend that we capture it forthwith. True
missions_localised_description_m_schism While once we might have considered this clan a worthy ally, the recent decline in diplomatic relations between us leads us to believe that they will eventually become a liability to our cause. For the sake of clan security, I recommend that we move to subjugate them at once. True
missions_localised_description_m_servant_of_heaven My lord, I notice that we are not currently fielding monks, despite having the ability to do so. Monks can inspire our troops or demoralise the enemy's, in addition to providing excellent protection against enemy metsuke - being particularly effective at converting them to a life of peace and self-reflection. True
missions_localised_description_m_spiritual_unity_buddhist My lord! A lack of support for Buddhism in this province has led to tensions amongst the populace. We must re-establish Shinto-Buddhism as the dominant religion in the area if we are to avoid a religious uprising. True
missions_localised_description_m_spiritual_unity_christian My lord! A lack of support for Christianity in this province has led to tensions amongst the populace. We must re-establish Christianity as the dominant religion in the area if we are to avoid a religious uprising. True
missions_localised_description_m_spiritual_unity_ikko My lord! A lack of support for the Ikko Ikki in this province has led to tensions amongst the populace. We must re-establish the Ikko faith as the dominant religion in the area if we are to avoid a religious uprising. True
missions_localised_description_m_strengthen_borders Sharing borders with our enemies invites invasion attempts as well as providing a base from which to launch our incursions into their lands. This province borders the enemy yet is unprepared against possible attack; I recommend that we reinforce the garrison here in anticipation of such an event. True
missions_localised_description_m_stuff_of_legend_archery The pursuit of excellence is a worthy pursuit indeed, my lord. We are now in a position to construct a legendary testament to our outstanding achievements in kyujutsu for all of Japan to behold.\n\nWe must endeavour to construct a legendary kyudo school before a less worthy clan does so in our stead! True
missions_localised_description_m_stuff_of_legend_cathedral The pursuit of excellence is a worthy pursuit indeed, my lord. We are now in a position to construct a legendary testament to our great Christian deeds for all of Japan to behold.\n\nWe must endeavour to construct a great cathedral before a less worthy clan does so in our stead! True
missions_localised_description_m_stuff_of_legend_crafts The pursuit of excellence is a worthy pursuit indeed, my lord. We are now in a position to construct a legendary testament to our great accomplishments in matters of trade and craftsmanship for all of Japan to behold.\n\nWe must endeavour to establish a kabunakama before a less worthy clan does so in our stead! True
missions_localised_description_m_stuff_of_legend_horse The pursuit of excellence is a worthy pursuit indeed, my lord. We are now in a position to construct a legendary testament to our outstanding achievements in horsemanship for all of Japan to behold.\n\nWe must endeavour to construct a legendary bajutsu school before a less worthy clan does so in our stead! True
missions_localised_description_m_stuff_of_legend_siege The pursuit of excellence is a worthy pursuit indeed, my lord. We are now in a position to construct a legendary testament to our outstanding achievements in spearmanship for all of Japan to behold.\n\nWe must endeavour to construct a legendary sojutsu school before a less worthy clan does so in our stead! True
missions_localised_description_m_stuff_of_legend_stealth The pursuit of excellence is a worthy pursuit indeed, my lord. We are now in a position to construct a legendary testament to our mastery of ninjutsu and for all of Japan to behold.\n\nWe must endeavour to construct an infamous mizu shobai district before a less worthy does so in our stead! True
missions_localised_description_m_stuff_of_legend_sword The pursuit of excellence is a worthy pursuit indeed, my lord. We are now in a position to construct a legendary testament to our outstanding achievements in swordsmanship for all of Japan to behold.\n\nWe must endeavour to construct a legendary kenjutsu school before a less worthy clan does so in our stead! True
missions_localised_description_m_stuff_of_legend_temple The pursuit of excellence is a worthy pursuit indeed, my lord. We are now in a position to construct a legendary testament to our great Buddhist deeds for all of Japan to behold.\n\nWe must endeavour to construct a great Buddhist temple before a less worthy clan does so in our stead! True
missions_localised_description_m_stuff_of_legend_yari The pursuit of excellence is a worthy pursuit indeed, my lord. We are now in a position to construct a legendary testament to our outstanding achievements in spearmanship for all of Japan to behold.\n\nWe must endeavour to construct a legendary sojutsu school before a less worthy clan does so in our stead! True
missions_localised_description_m_subversive_strategies As our influence spreads throughout the provinces we may encounter situations where our strategy is put at risk by enemy forces moving to intercept us or reinforce their allies. By sabotaging an army's supplies as they sit encamped our ninja will be able to halt their progress, leaving them open to attack or preventing them from doing so themselves. True
missions_localised_description_m_supporting_endeavours Warfare is a costly endeavour, my lord, and a lack of funds can severely hamper recruitment and development initiatives. By securing provinces rich in precious metals we can ensure a constant source of income. We have identified one such province; I recommend that we conquer it at the first opportunity. True
missions_localised_description_m_territorial_expansion_early May I respectfully insist that we expand our borders at the first opportunity? I understand that it has not been long since we began to unify the people of Japan, but I feel that progress has been slow during this crucial period of consolidation. True
missions_localised_description_m_territorial_expansion_late As the clan grows greater in strength and size, rival daimyo throughout Nippon continue to seize land from the weak and defenceless. Their increasing power poses a significant threat to our supremacy; we must continue to extend our domain if we hope to contend with them. True
missions_localised_description_m_territorial_expansion_middle Long have we been waging war to elevate our clan's power and status within Japan, laying waste to all those who would stand in our way. If we hope to support our cause and our people, it is imperative that we expand our borders further to match the mounting threat from our ever more powerful enemies. True
missions_localised_description_m_thirst_for_battle Our men grow restless, my lord! We are at war; our enemies make no attempt to invade our territory, yet we make no move to strike at their provinces ourselves. As our forces stand idle, our foes are free to build up their strength. We must press the attack before they muster an army with which to strike! True
missions_localised_description_m_thwarting_nanban The shogun is concerned about the considerable amount of influence the nanban have had upon our culture. He has ordained that this nanban trade port be blockaded at once so that their baleful influence may be kept in check. True
missions_localised_description_m_trade_disruption Without a burgeoning economy to support it, a clan has little hope of supporting the military strength required to attain prominence. Trade by sea provides an easy means of acquiring funds and resources from clans and countries there would otherwise be no contact with. Attacking trade routes is a sure means of hampering our enemies' long-term plans. True
missions_localised_description_m_turned_against_them We are at war, my lord, and our enemies have invaded our domain. An attack force is now within our borders, posing a threat to both your power and our people. We must deploy a metsuke to bribe them into joining us; we can turn our enemy's own warriors against him! True
missions_localised_description_m_undermining_economy When attempting to undermine the military endeavours of one's enemies, one must consider cutting off their sources of revenue. This rival clan is drawing considerable sums into their economy from commerce through their markets. I strongly recommend sending a ninja to sabotage those buildings, thereby weakening their financial stability. True
missions_localised_description_m_unification_of_japan The shogun is concerned that two of his daimyo should be investing so much time destroying one another when, now more than ever, unity of purpose is paramount for the greater good of Japan and its people. He has therefore commanded that hostilities cease between us forthwith. True
missions_localised_description_m_united_we_stand Our ally is currently at war, my lord. While we do not share their enmity, by joining their struggle we may reinforce their loyalty and strengthen our own position by preying on the same foe. True
missions_localised_description_m_unscrupulous Using our metsuke we can bribe enemy armies into joining our ranks to bolster our armies in the field. Bribery can be a costly process, especially when such armies are led by a taisho - but even the most loyal of men has his price, and the advantage gained by instantly swelling our ranks is a substantial one. True
missions_localised_description_m_war_weariness Our people grow weary of our perennial state of conflict, my lord. With so many enemies, we risk stretching our resources to breaking point by trying to defeat them all. I strongly recommend that we make peace with at least one rival clan - for the time being, at least - so that we might concentrate on dispensing with the rest. True
missions_localised_description_m_war_words_buddhist Strength of body and superior training are key to an army's success in the field, but there are other means of weakening one's opponents when military superiority is not assured. The enemy's morale can be compromised by sending monks to break an army's spirit with words of dread and desperation before the first blow has been struck. True
missions_localised_description_m_war_words_christian Strength of body and superior training are key to an army's success in the field, but there are other means of weakening one's opponents when military superiority is not assured. The enemy's morale can be compromised by sending missionaries to break an army's spirit with words of dread and desperation before the first blow has been struck. True
missions_localised_description_m_war_words_ikko Strength of body and superior training are key to an army's success in the field, but there are other means of weakening one's opponents. Our Ikko monks can compromise our enemies' morale with words of dread and desperation before the first blow has been struck. True
missions_localised_description_m_way_of_the_warrior This is a time of great conflict, my lord, and we are a warrior people. It concerns me to see that we are investing so little time in the development of our martial knowledge and techniques, and I must insist that we set our sights upon military advancements at once. True
missions_localised_description_m_worthy_adversary Our scouts have spied the forces of a rival daimyo conducting manoeuvres in a neighbouring province.
