Failed the tutorial and the Japanese tutor said he had made a mistake by trying to teach me the basics of the game, then proceeded to kick me out to the main menu. No retry, no restart, back to the menu peasant!

It is not a bad game, I wish I could post a iffy thumb. It is all about snowballing. Once you get that, you are a force in the game. I grew up with Koei games in the SNES era and favor those over this. Just my opinion.

I love these types of games where I can just lose all concept of time when trying to build up a nation and take over the entire country! My favorite thing is to take the usually smaller factions and try to with them!

I really, really wish i could recommend this game. Because it's clear a lot of love went into making it and into historical authenticity and gameplay. Two things keep me from truly loving this game: 1. The combat 2.
