RELEASE NOTES

Sixteenth century East Asia is in turmoil. In Japan, the ruling Shogun
family has lost its grip on the country. A civil war is brewing as
regional lords actively expand their influence. In Korea, the Joseon
dynasty is paralysed by factional struggle within the royal court. In
China, the might of the Ming dynasty is waning due to rebellions and
foreign incursions. These seemingly separate internal conflicts will
pave the way for an international war involving the three countries.

Sengoku Jidai: Shadow of the Shogun is a turn-based tactical and
strategic game set during this turbulent time; primarily focusing on
the Japanese Warring States period and Japanese Invasion of Korea.
Other armies from East Asia are also made available to simulate
different conflicts across the region.

Take command of diverse armies which employ varying tactical doctrines.
Lead your chosen army and their generals to victory in set-piece
historical battles or "what-if" skirmish situations against an AI or
human opponent. Become more ambitious and achieve regional domination
through the operational campaign layer where you have to deal with the
consequence of preceding battles.

To become the Japanese Shogun, to overthrow the Emperor of the Middle
Kingdom, or to establish a Pan-Asian Empire, one requires mastery of
the battlefield. In this time of turmoil, Asia is yours for the taking!

Features:

Accurate simulation of East Asian battle in the 16th and 17th
centuries, particularly the Sengoku Jidai (Japanese Warring States
period) and Imjin War (Japanese invasion of Korea and Chinese
intervention).

Unique graphic style influenced by Japanese paintings.

Historical scenarios covering key engagements of the period

Campaign mode allows you to rewrite history as you play through key
campaigns of the era. Terrain, manpower, supply, attrition, sieges and
economic damage all need to be taken into account. The decisions you
make on the strategic map will affect the forces available to you in
battle. The results of each battle will have long-term effects on the
strength, experience and elan of your units.

Classic Turn-based, tile based gameplay.

Easy to use interface, hard to master gameplay.

Battalion-sized units.

Named generals who can influence combat and morale of units under their
command as well as engage enemy generals in personal combat.

Single player and multiplayer battle modes.

Skirmish system allows unlimited  what-if  scenarios using historically
realistic armies from carefully researched army lists, on realistic
computer generated terrain maps. Armies covered include numerous
Japanese clans, Ikko Ikki, Wokou Pirates, Joseon Korean, Ming Chinese,
Chinese and Tribal rebels, Eastern and Western Mongols, Jurchen and
Imperial Manchu (Qing Chinese) armies. Each faction has multiple lists
covering the development of their armies through the 16th and 17th
centuries.

Skirmish scenarios are randomly generated and include open battle,
attack on a defensive position, defence of a defensive position,
awaiting reinforcements, enemy awaiting reinforcements, flank march.

In skirmishes players can pick their armies from the army list or allow
the computer to pick the army for them.

Effective AI makes sound tactical decisions. Historical battle AI
customised to the historical tactical situation.

6 difficulty levels allow the challenge to increase as you develop your
battlefield skills.

Numerous different unit organisations, combat capabilities and tactical
doctrines allow full representation of tactical differences and
developments through the period.

Mod friendly game system with built-in map editor.

Multiplayer mode allows historical scenarios and  what-if  scenarios to
be played by two players using Slitherine's easy to use PBEM server.

The Collector Edition includes:

Byeongja Horan Campaign: 1637, the Manchu have invaded Korea, and the
Joseon stand alone against the Qing. Will you play as the Joseon and
try to expel the invaders? Or will you side with the Qing and complete
the conquest of the peninsula?

Genko Campaign: 1282, with the conquest of China almost complete,
Kublai Khan turns his glance towards the land of the Rising Sun and
demands it bend the knee and pay tribute to his empire. The Japanese
refuse, and it leads to war. Historically, a great storm stopped the
invading fleet, the  Divine Wind . But what if there was no storm?
Fight the war for Japanese independence in this what-if campaign!

Genko Skirmishes: 4 new army lists are added to the Skirmish mode of
Sengoku Jidai, introducing a Yuan army list (Mongol Invasion) and 3
Japanese ones (Hojo and two generic clans called Aoi and Akai). This
skirmish module allows you to experience the very different tactics of
late 13th century Japanese warfare both against the Mongol invaders and
against other Japanese clans.
