The Takeda have one unique unit, the Takeda Fire Cavalry, which are among the best cavalry in Total War: Shogun 2. The Takeda Clan's military traits are formidable: their cavalry are cheaper to train and maintain, and also considerably stronger. The Takeda have good expansion opportunities: the Imagawa and Hojo both have valuable provinces worth declaring war over. Both the Imagawa and Hojo are initially friendly to the Takeda clan (the Imagawa are initially allied to the Takeda), but the Murakami begin the campaign at war with the Takeda. The Takeda have four neighbors: the Imagawa Clan to the south-west, the Hojo Clan to the south, the Ogigayatsu Clan to the south-east, and the Murakami Clan to the north. Kai also starts with stables, giving the Takeda immediate access to light cavalry. Kai has average soil but also warhorses, a very valuable resource for making trade agreements. The Takeda clan begins the campaign with the province of Kai.

The Takeda clan, then, have enemies, worthwhile prizes to aim for, and worthy allies. To the south the Imagawa clan have recently been reliable allies. Sagami must be considered a tempting target for an ambitious warlord, thanks to the skilled smiths who live there. To the east, in Musashi, the Ogigayatsu clan are also peaceful, as are the Hojo of Sagami and Izu provinces. Shinano itself, if its current owners are destroyed, has valuable stone resources for the taking. A Murakami army is about to invade Kai from northern Shinano the Kiso clan from beyond the mountains in Shinano, is at peace with the Takeda. Now, under their daimyo, Takeda Shingen, the clan have opportunities and threats on all sides. They have, however, mastered diplomacy as well as horses, and have achieved peace on occasions.
TOTAL WAR SHOGUN 2 CAMPAIGN SERIES
Clan infighting, a long series of struggles against repeated invasions from the neighbouring Shinano province, and wars against the Hojo and Imagawa clans, saw to that. Takeda warlords have ruled Kai, their home province, since the 12th Century, but they have known little peace. It may be those horsemen who carry the Takeda daimyo to the shogunate! As a result, the Takeda clan recruit and train cavalry much more efficiently than other clans. They have fought off repeated invasions from the neighboring Shinano province, and battled against the Hojo and Imagawa clans.

Under their daimyo, Takeda Shingen, the clan have opportunities and threats on all sides. Takeda men are almost born in the saddle, and they are rightly respected for their mastery of horses and cavalry warfare.
