Hey everyone. I'm a long time TW player ant TWH member, but it's been a while since I posted.
Now, I've joined the TWH S2TW (or TWS2, not sure how the nomenclature works anymore) clan, and I've tried to conquer territory, however, I'm only rank 3 (I just got there after my last battle). For most of my battles, I was rank 1 and 2.
Now, I tried doing the random matches from the MP battle map, but I kept getting assigned opponents who were significantly higher rank than me (I fought at least 1 rank 10, 2 rank 8s, and a rank 7, all while I was rank 1 and 2). I lost all of these battles, most were "close defeats" or "costly enemy victory" or whatever they're called this time around. Only 1 of my 9 or 10 losses was a decisive defeat.
In every battle, what seemed to happen was that my enemy would field some 9-experience veteran naginata hero or some absurdly overpowered veteran units, with no other troops (occasionally a yari cavalry - but no ashigaru), as well as the untrained fugu cook retainer. Now, I did just about everything right tactically in these battles - I surrounded or flanked my enemy's units, charged cavalry from the rear into them, attacked them while they were climbing uphill or crossing rivers, and sent counter units to attack his (ie, my swords at his spears, my spears at his cavalry, etc). The problem, it seems, is that my armies, with no veterans, cannot take theirs on. And as long as I keep getting matched up with opponents who are 5, 6, 7 or more ranks higher than me, I keep losing!
Now, does anyone have any advice on how to destroy these juggernauts, or am I doomed to lose almost every battle because I keep getting matched against outrageously higher-ranked opponents?
Thanks.
