Hojo Horde

Hojo Horde

To beat the Hojo horde you will need to employ these steps:

a) Train some geishas.

b) Assassinate the Hojo daimyo and heirs.

c) Hojo become ronin.

d) Conquer all the provinces around the province with the horde.

e) Eventually, only one province would remain- the horde province

f) Concentrate all your remaining forces on that province and attack it.

g) You are now Shogun.

There some points that I’d like to mention:

All clans may have a horde, not only Hojo. But they are the most common.
Challenge the horde at the last moment. Or else you’ll most probably end up eliminated.
It's essential to make the horde ronin, so that the other provinces don’t work in co-ordination with it.
The horde is a bug, but it offers a last true challenge to the player.
