In the news is written that the game will be avaiable in digital shops at 13.th. Is this also for Germany? Cause on Amazon it is the 16.th and i can't see it on steam right now to purchase.

I guess the retail version will be available at 16th. Maybe we could the digital version earlier by Gamersgate or somewhat, while the steam version would come a bit later.

Retail normally stock their shelves on Fridays so if it says 16th that's most likely accurate.

Kind regards

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.

No, I started as perhaps the most powerful Daimyo in the 2nd or 3rd largest clan in Japan. Then I seized control of said clan and conquered 2 neighbours. This was not a difficult start point.

Yeah, I was confused about the apparent ease of which you suddenly got that powerful too at first, but then I realized that I had seen it the wrong way since - when you picked your clan - the screen drifted up to the left and I thought you picked the little island. @_@

(Yes, I later saw that they're a different Daimyo.)
 
i got scared when the narrator yelled, Attack!

4 Gamer.net in Japan introduced this video, though some pictures of that article are taken from older versions.

Some of the comments on this by Japanese gamers were interesting so I'll post a few:

  • "it's amazing that a game like this would be made outside Japan"
  • "I wonder if there'll be a Japanese version"
  • "It looks a lot more interesting than Nobunaga's Ambition"
  • "it's not character based like Nobunaga's Ambition so I don't think it'll be too well received in Japan, but I want it"
  • "I'm guessing that the save data can't be imported into EU or Vic"
  • "Usagi..." (the Japanese word for rabbit; he's commenting on the narrator's pronunciation of Uesugi)
  • "I'm interested in seeing the Western take on the Sengoku period"
  • "Uesugi Fusasada? That's so early!"
  • "Looks like it'll be a new take on the genre"

I'm a little surprised that the comments were so positive... Japanese gamers tend to be quite skeptical of Western games in my experience.

Very interesting, Sakura. If you have the time, please translate and post any additional comments here that might show up.
 
Does this game have HQ's like in HOI3 so they can micromanage your samurai or is it more like a HOI2 game where you control everything?

Units are controlled like in Europa Universalis, except your vassals' personal retinue troops which the vassals control themselves.

I second this, maybe with enough positive comments this might get a Japanese release down the road! :D

I think most if not all Paradox games have been localised in Japan, so I'd be rather surprised if Sengoku didn't come out there as well once the localisation was ready.
