Total Warfare:
A unique combination of strategic decisions and intense real-time action on the battlefield will take you deeper into this
savage historical period than you ever believed possible.
The Art of War:
Use the wisdom of Sun Tzu to master the strengths and weaknesses of your units as well as assess the tactical effects of formations,
moral, fatigue, terrain, weather, and fortifications.
Epic Battles Made Easy: Control massive armies with thousands of Samurai on full 3-D landscapes. Watch huge armies perform intricate battlefield
maneuvers with a simple click of the mouse.
In-Depth Strategy: Develop your economy from the ground up, forge trade relationships, and strategic alliances, conduct espionage and
order assassinations.
The Game:
The main game is divided into two main game sections. Turn-based strategy map: In addition to taking the role of commander-in-chief
of your armies, you must also manage the wealth of your lands, construct defences and dojos, train your men and balance alliances
with rival Daimyo while you wait for the right time to strike. Season by season, you must use Ninja, Shinobi and other strategic
units to gain every advantage and so take Japan region by region.
Real-Time Battles: When armies from different clans come to occupy the same region in the same season, you will experience war as it
occurred in the 16th century. It is bloody, but it is also glorious, with a strict code of honour that must be adhered to
if you are to overcome your enemies. With an intuitive yet richly diverse interface you can command thousands of men on the
battlefield. Warfare has never been experienced on a grander or more epic scale.
