About Sengoku
A strategy game with a difference, the focus of Sengoku is on the rich cast of characters. Take control of a clan leader, or subordinate, and rise to prominence in your attempt to become an all-powerful Shogun. Fight to unite the land of the Rising Sun under your iron fist through a combination of deal making, deploying samurai and unleashing shadowy Ninja.

Who does the narration?

That would be Gordon, one of the producers in the publishing team.

Good walkthrough, but the narrator might need a quick course on Japanese pronunciation...

Well he hasn't been involved with the making of the game, but was picked so you wouldn't have to suffer the internal team's Swenglish.
 
It took him just 9 years to go from a moderately powerful diamyo to the largest clan in Japan? I'm really hoping that its not this easy for other diamyos/clans... In most Paradox games you can usually make the game more challenging by picking much weaker nations to play, but Sengoku doesn't seem to have many that are that much weaker than everyone else, and if all plots are as easy to make successful as the one in the video it probably won't be that hard for them either.

What I'm hoping for is that keepin a large clan together will be hard. Just as it was easiy to destroy the Uesugi clan from within the video, I'm hoping the player will face similar revolts if he is not carefull with his vassals.

Starting as a small clan, especially as one in the middle that is already involved in the Onin War is not easy. Surviving as one of the two Ashikaga brothers in the center is a very tough start for instance. And just when you think everything is going your way and you've become the big clan of the neighborhood, three of you peaceful neighbours spring a plot on you...

Yes you need to make sure that your vassals are happy, otherwise you risk an internal plot. And since plots look at your relative strength, one setback is usually followed by another. Losing too much in a war and an internal plotter might decide its time to break lose.

There is another name for that era and it is Gekokujō. It means "the underling conquers the overlord." That was exactly what happened in that video. I guess that there will be peasant and monk revolts as well if you are able to upset peasants and/or monks.

wait? what 30 USD? (thats 21 euro!)

I paid 23 euro after the discount :eek:hmy:

Sounds about right. 30 usd = 30 euro in paradox land, remember. :)
 
Actually, I'm pretty sure the $=€ thing comes strictly from laws that make it more expensive in Europe, not because of price-hikes in the European areas. There are added taxes to games in European trade that more or less equal the difference. Was a pretty big deal to people thinking the same thing with Steam, too.

There will be, both religious rebels as well as Ikko-ikkis who have their own special mechanics. Maybe a good subject for a developer diary for this week?
