Lets Play Sengoku Jidai: Shadow of the Shogun

I recently picked up Sengoku Jidai: Shadow of the Samurai during a steam sale and I decided to do a write up on one of the campaigns.

The campaign I've selected is basically the end of the Sengoku Jidai period of Japan. The initial stages to unify Japan were under Oda Nobunaga, but he was killed before he could complete his goal. Longtime ally of Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, basically took over Nobunaga's empire after his death and completed the unification of Japan. After establishing himself as shogun, Hideyoshi carried out the disastrous invasion of Korea which ended in defeat thanks to the intervention of Ming China. This war greatly weakened the power of the Toyotomi clan and hurt Hideyoshi's reputation. His enemies began to make plans to move against him. Finally Hideyoshi got sick and died leaving an heir too young to rule, and so a council of elders took control of the government. Tokugawa Ieyasu, another long time ally of Nobunaga back when he was still alive, chose this moment to strike. At this point most of clans in Japan joined up with either the Toyotomi or the Tokugawa coalitions. And this campaign is the fight between these two sides. Historically, Tokugawa won and established the Tokugawa shogunate which lasted for a few centuries. However I will be fighting against history and take the Toyotomi side. I will put all the updates within spoilers so that people don't have to load a ton of images just from reading this thread.

Ooh, those last two wars/battles of the Sengoku era have always been particularly interesting to me.
The game is certainly off to a good start. AI is making some interesting decisions. Looking forward to following this!

I agree with Fake that the art work and style is really cool. It would have been cool if games like CK2 used this sort of system for battles...

Keep this up! :)

It would be cool if we had more of this sort of thing!

In this next update we have the biggest battle yet. In fact its so big I've decided to break it up into two parts, so this will be the beginning of the battle.

In this next battle we actually rush forward on the attack instead of sitting back on the defense.

In the previous update we inflicted a serious blow on the enemy in a defensive battle, and now its time to go on the attack again.

Since we have a long battle, I'm going to once again split a battle into two updates.

And now for the conclusion.

Spoiler: click to toggle


Now that the campaign is over, anyone who actually read this far can let me know if they want to see another campaign. I don't really want to do another campaign in sengoku era Japan because the units are going to be the same, but there are several other campaigns to choose from. The Japanese invasion of korea. The Japanese side will have the same units as this camapaign but korea will have very different units. The Mongol invasion of Japan. This campaign is something of a what if scenario and the mongol army is not shipwrecked by typhoons and actually posese a serious threat. Becuase its a few centuries earlier, the japanese side would have slightly different composition, and of course the mongol army would be very different. There's also the jurchen invasion of Korea. I belie there were a few campaigns involving the china but I don't remember them all off the top of my head. One was a Ming vs Qing campaign, and I think another was Qing vs rebels. If anyone actually finished reading this and is interested ins seeing one of those campaigns, leave a comment.

I've done the Japan vs Korea campaign before as the Japanese side, but I might do another one as a lets play as the Korean side. I'm somewhat familiar with the units, having fought against them, but it wills till be interesting to try and use them for myself. So I may start that campaign in the near future.
