About This Game

The Shogun's Throne is Vacant

The Shogun’s seat sits empty. The Emperor’s influence is fading. The lands of Hinomoto are fractured by endless war as every clan fights for power.

It is time for a new leader to rise. Crush your enemies and unite the realm under your banner.

Latest Update: 2 May 2026 (Ver. 1.24)

This massive update entirely shifts the landscape of the Sengoku period. We are introducing deep dynasty-building mechanics, completely overhauling the AI for major clans, and bringing much-needed balance to the battlefield. Prepare to forge your legacy!

Major Features: Bloodlines & Legends

• New Family & Dynasty Building System: You are no longer just commanding an army; you are building a lineage. Secure the future of your clan through generations.

• The Legends Arrive (Historical Roster): Play as and recruit highly detailed historical warlords with accurate base stats reflecting their real-world legends.

• Political Marriage Arrangements: Use your Gold (Dowry) and Action Points to secure powerful spouses from minor clans. Buy your legacy and breed the ultimate genetic lineage for your non-historical officers.

• Child Education System: Heirs are born as blank slates. Invest Action Points to manually train them, push their potentials to the absolute limit, and rewrite history before they come of age.

• New Battlefield Unit - "Seii Taishogun": Your commanding general is now physically represented on the tactical map! They project powerful, dynamic aura buffs to nearby troops based entirely on their personal stats (Charisma, Intel, Melee, etc.).

AI & Combat Balance

• Major Clan AI Revamp: The 7 playable Daimyo factions now utilize a completely unique, advanced AI logic. No more falling victim to random minor clans! The major warlords will now expand aggressively and provide a genuine, terrifying challenge for your conquest.

• Ranged Combat Nerf: We have addressed the "Overpowered Ranged Meta." Arrows, bullets, and shurikens no longer ignore enemy defense. Defense skill matter now. Ranged units will require actual strategy rather than just blind firing!

• Tactical Terrain Generation: The random terrain generator has been highly optimized. Expect more complex, challenging, and tactically interesting mountainous battlemaps. High ground has never been more vital.

Visuals & Optimizations

• Vector-Based Campaign Map: The strategic campaign map has been entirely rebuilt using vector graphics technology. Enjoy crystal clear, razor-sharp visuals no matter how far you zoom in, alongside a refined art style with less AI-generated reliance.

• Under-the-Hood Optimizations: Smoother performance across the board during massive late-game campaigns.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the Teleport Exploit: A very subtle (but entirely game-breaking) bug found by our brilliant testers allowed players to magically teleport an army across the map immediately after claiming an empty city in certain condition. The space-time continuum of the Sengoku era has been restored.

• Fixed army under re-training can join an army outside city.
