(with a nod to my favorite western: Tombstone) Of course nobody left would trade or make peace, so i just said-screw it, it's Total War tell em', I'm a comin' and I'm bringin' hell with me. I took my time conquering Shikoku island and then marched on Kyoto. Of course my trade went to pot, but I had all the western trade nodes and had built up an economy to still support about 4 to 5k in koku per year.
TOTAL WAR SHOGUN 2 REALM DIVIDE FULL
I had 3 or 4 good size navies patrolling the coastlines and that is where I sunk at least four and maybe five invasion fleets carrying full stack armies. I had good size armies holding Bitchu and Izumo, which were the two only provinces at the narrowest part of the mainland, so any land attacker had to come through there. However, I had read quite a bit about this over at the Total war forum and was pretty much prepared for it. However, within 2 or 3 turns, they broke our alliance and declared war on me along with everybody else. I also made the 17th province I conquered a vassel and established trade with them. It doesn't matter if you proceed to make that province a vassal. The event itself fires when you next conquer a province. It doesn't unfill itself if you stop conquering for a while. The bar fills whenever you capture a province and becomes full when you have 13 provinces (in a 25-province game) or 22 provinces (in a 60 province game) you do something notable like capturing a province or win an offensive heroic victory. Your clan's reputation bar is filled OR you capture Kyoto. Vassals you create after the event has fired will not be affected. The less good news: any clans which emerge after the Realm Divide event will initially seem indifferent or even friendly, but will not accept any diplomatic overtures and will promptly declare war the next turn. The good news: the effect of "Realm Divide" is capped at -200, which means with a long-term trade agreement, an alliance, some chi arts, and a marriage, you can hold on to an ally or two. Provinces captured after Realm Divide will be more difficult to subdue (higher "resistance to invaders").

Any clans not at least "Indifferent" (anyone have a more exact number for this?) with you will declare war without further provocation you get a "Clan joins your enemies" message. It causes an immediate drop of -50 in relations with everyone due to "Realm Divide".
