Players who enjoy deep, epic, and historically-accurate PC strategy games know that Paradox Interactive can deliver the goods.

Could end at this. ;-)

Fears: The ability to only improve one village at a time can be a frustrating handicap for empire-building.

What is that all about?

 

[Romtos]

when your honor hits zero, you die. (Perhaps by seppuku?)

New to me. That can give rise to some dramatic gambling.

Sengoku is due out in September, and will likely have a budget price tag of $20-$30.

I suspected the price might be lower than 40 euro.

A misunderstanding. Basically he's right, but a province can be improved in several different ways, not only in it's village.
Also, this is a heavily feudalistic game you won't own that many provinces personally.

I wonder if it is possible to achieve control over entire Japan and keep it with such a system in the game.

I mean as far as I understood Crusader Kings the player was never meant to conquer everything.

Luckily this isn't Crusader Kings And you're supposed to conquer Japan with your clan - not personally hold every province.

That sounds like a challenge...mwahhaha

So war is really going to be a, well, maybe side issue is going too far, but it's really going to be secondary in this game? I'm glad if that's the case.

It can't be that secondary if we're expected to conquer 300+ provinces in a couple hundred years

I will use a no time limit mod and just conquer half of Japan but refuse the Shogunate, etc. Then I shall watch the chaos outside my borders!

PI really need a better way of explaining that there games aren't really RTS but some unique hybrid. (A turn based game with 150,000 tiny turns and an auto end turn time flow rather than 200 important ones) All these previews seem to be concerened that there isn't an RTS clickfest.

Seppuku at 0 honour, no way to become Ronin then

And is there a reason for this only upgrade 1 village at a time mechanic or is it just another type of limit on effective demense size?

The demesne size already has a limit so there's no need for another limit on it. The upgrades however depend on your advisers and they can only be in one place at a time.
