I'm just starting up one of my first games and I am just wondering if there is a Daimyo I can play without getting messed up immediately so I can learn the game. Any help is appreciated.

I started with the Shimazu in the south. You can pretty easily take over southern Japan then go challenge whoever wins the middle.
That's what I was feeling too.
The benefits I am seeing is there is no immediate outside threat, you're on an island where you are the strongest, not at war and all the land is contiguous.
Yep, that's pretty much it. Once you get the island, you can only attack/get attacked from one way. So you won't have to deal with the middle clan problems of getting attacked on multiple fronts.
Is oda nobunaga an option?
The game starts much before Oda Nubunaga was born so I doubt hes an option. :P
Ah you're right, though it's only 100 years :P
Turns out I am wrong, there is a second start date I didn't know about :D
If you scroll down on the starting suggestions Oda is in the 5th one. There are two start dates, 1467 and 1551.
Sengoku is different from other paradox games where each starting date has 1 set of suggested interesting characters/nations to play. There are 4 sets in 1467 and 10 sets in 1551. Oda Nobunaga is sort of hidden because the starting screen only shows the 4 sets from 1467 without scrolling down.
Okay cool thanks, I will check out the other start date too then.
Is there no Sengoku tag?
Well, it's not exactly the most popular Paradox game.
Still, there are flairs for completely outdated games.
If you're talking about Mount and Blade I'd try that sub reddit.
You'd get a better response.
This one is mostly about the grand strategy games.
No Sengoku, not Mount and Blade.
I've honestly never heard of that paradox game.
I assumed you were taking about the MnB mod by the same name.
