Chemix created this complete list and he had logical reasons for doing such. So post away and let him "unfold" his wisdom on how this will work.

Explaining Equivilents: The Tozama constroled large areas and had vast armies of weak disloyal ronin like samurai and opposed the Shogunate whereas the Fudai were their loyal servants and while controling smaller peices of land and smaller armies were far more strategic and well versed in warfare. The Shogun were a middleground gaining mercaneries from the various feifs throughout feudal Japan.

Tozama:
Maeda- Cheap mass units that are weak and a half decent econemy
Shimazu- Double the units for the price of one, strong econemy, mass medium units, slow to build and weak defense

Shogunate:
Roju- Weak armies on their own but excellent defense and hirable mercanaries
Wakadoshiyori- Medium armies, with good defense and hirable mercanaries

Fudai:
Li- Slow moving heavy infantry army with lots of armor and good defense
Doi- Fast moving heavy cavalry with less armor, but more health and damage and managable defense


All the Factions here actualy existed in Edo Period Japan, albeit their specific strengths and weakenesses are fictional.
