Well, to me it looks like there is/was quite a lot of fighting between the AIs since this seems to be the most likely explanation of this patchwork of provinces to your west (unless the single provinces are conntected in the uncharted portion of the map).

If this is the case you have an interesting decision to make, strengthen your position while letting the AIs slug it out and attack the AI who is getting the upper hand or step in as soon as you have finished with the samurais while ignoring the unclaimed indie provinces.

BTW, what would be your guess (unless you know it from the score-graphs anyway) about the relativ power of the AIs left in the game ?

Pardon my lack of experience, Arryn, but what type of unit is "Rod" (the spear-holding, lion-like commander) in the screenshot you've given?

Thank you.

That's what I get for not reading for quite a while.

If you scroll backwards to just before the turn #27 post you'll find a link to Unwise's Flag mod.

NOTE: For anyone who plays with the Ashikaga mod, in v2.0 Potatoman included an icon I made (with an authentic japanese mon) that is compatible with the Unwise mod. The instructions on switching to it are in the descriptive text portion of the "samurai.dm" file.
