It will be easier to improve as a nation if vassals are diplomatically annexed much like Hosokawa was. Taking a province like Suruga from Imagawa makes it more difficult to improve our administrative levels because we have to use valuable administrative points to core the province.
Uesugi is the next obvious target for annexation. They have four provinces, potentially five when their wars with Takeda and Date end. For now, it is about building relations diplomatically so that we may advance the cause of uniting Japan under one banner.
However, the one problem with annexing multiple Daimyos too quickly is that relations will quickly deteriorate and could lead to some of the Lords trying to declare independence from our rule. It will be a delicate balance.
