About Shibata Katsuie: Level her up fast and keep her garrisoned in your coin building. Pretty sure she's the best thing to have lots of money.
What level equipment do you have? Maybe you should up your weapon/research levels and make sure you're all Elite troops first. I swear, I got past 4-1 with legendary equips just fine... I had 2 level 55 SRs and a level 50 SR, so maybe that upped the equipment benefits and level 35 SSRs with Takenomata weapon and it's useless side benefit (since I wasn't using them for Kenshin). It was 4-5 and up I had a problem with... >.>
