Trade
Inexpensive spice, dyes, and raw silk from Kyushu (Otomo, Ryuzoji, Shimazu) and Chugoku (Mori, Ukita) are extremely profitable in the Kansai region; often selling for ~890, ~220, and ~1200 respectively. With Kyoto, Sakai, and Nara eager for these goods, this one-way trade is well rewarded. Establishing sake production in Sakai may bring a reasonable profit of ~300.

Units
Villager from Kinai - The Miyoshi can train Elite Spearmen.

Ji-Samurai from Kinai - The Miyoshi can train Hatamoto Guards and Hatamoto Gunners jd

General Starting tips and strategy
Their position angers many Clans ( Chosokabe, Oda, Ikko Ikki, Ukita ). Surrounded by enemies, even without the player's help they will be soon destroyed. The lone hope of the Myoshi Clan is the player that decides to stay with them .If this happens, the player should put all of his effort in the war against Chosokabe Clan, from the moment that the loss of Myoshi's territory in Shikoku is always the start of their downfall (and Chosokabe's rise). Battling with Chosokabe is difficult for two reasons : 1) Logistic : If you're on Shikoku, don't expect much help, as of most of the Lords will patrol Kansai leaving only the player to counter any Chosokabe offensive. 2) Tactis : Archers are effective against Gunners, and from the moment that you will be often outnumbered and Chosokabe's Lords often deploy a large line of élite archers, your guards will be soon prived from the gunners support while blocked by the enemy guards from killing Chosokabe's archers. The player should stay repaired behind an hill, because gunners are effective in short-medium range and archers won't be able to take out your line.
