Conor Hutton: "Months of meticulous planning. Developing the five bases my clan started with. Pumping money into developing the bases conscripts would increase the size of my army which would be essential in the upcoming battles. Alas I can’t have an army if I can’t feed them, so I also had to develop my bases agricultural sectors, more food and work also meant my population would increase which would provide more people for the army. However, you’re at nothing if you don’t have gold, gold is essential for developing your bases conscript and agricultural sectors so without it your clan will crumble. This means you also have to put gold into developing your bases craft sectors which will in turn increase your gold income. Early on in the game finding a balance between developing your conscript, agricultural and craft sectors is necessary to fuelling the armies you need to unify Japan and the gold will certainly come in handy for diplomacy."
After the decade-long Ōnin War (1467-1477) ended without a clear victory, Japan fell into a state of constant war and conflict. With the power of the shogunate in tatters and the emperor relegated to a purely ceremonial role, local warlords known as daimyos fought over land and influence, hoping to reunify the nation under their power. It’s a romantic age, an era of change and turmoil in which a newly found meritocracy subverted a social order previously seen as untouchable. Amidst the might of tradition, the chaos of treachery and the smell of gunpowder, laid the opportunity to forever define a country and set its future for centuries to come.

Pure PlayStation: Koei Tecmo’s entry for longest title of 2016, Nobunaga’s Ambition: Sphere of Influence – Ascension (hereafter referred to as NA: SOIA), released at the end of October on PS4. Our reviewer has spent the past few weeks delving deep into the campaigns of this historical grand-strategy title to bring you our review. Tortured metaphor incoming in 3, 2, 1… has Nobunaga’s ambition united the warring states of our opinion or does it overreach and fall dead on the march? We’re not sure what that means either, best join us below so we can explain.
This game is getting good reviews so far, some day I'll have to check it out.
