The Tsutsui are found to the east, and are an easy target for us. It is not very special, but has a port we so desperately need for the bountiful sea trade it may bring us. The Kitabatake Clan own a province to the north.
The lake means they never run out of water, and they have very fertile soil, prefect for growing rice, rice for our clan to consume and export should we control their land. The Asai Clan live to the west, by the Biwa Lake. You have no enemies at the at this time, and you have the advantage of chosing. It is not an experienced army, but they are ready to prove themselves. We have an army under the command of a loyal General, Momochi Taketoshi. In battle they can reveal themselves/ deploy very close to the enemy, leaving the poor foe with barely any time but to prepare for an honorable death.
The addition of Kisho training for our recruits costs more money, but it is worth the expenses.
Not only do our ninjas enjoy marked superiority over their neighboring counterparts, but our infantry are also specially trained in Kisho, the art of stealth operations.
