encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_hist_battles_anegawa In 1570, during Oda Nobunaga’s campaign to become shogun, he chose to besiege Odani Castle, home of his new enemy Asai Nagamasa. Asai had recently broken his alliance with Oda, presenting a danger to the flanks of the Oda forces stationed in the region. When Oda and his ally Tokugawa Ieyasu moved against the castle Asai and his allies sallied out to meet the attackers. What followed was a bloody struggle in the flowing waters of the River Anegawa. Although the Asai fought well and seemed on the verge of defeating Oda, the budding warlord managed to hold them in place (by excellent tactical use of his 500 matchlock ashigaru) until Tokugawa, having dispensed with Asai’s allies, could wheel around and attack the Asai right flank. At this point the Oda general Inaba Ittetsu, who had been hitherto held in reserve, brought his force to bear on the Asai left flank. Eventually realising that the day had gone against him, Asai retreated and withdrew back inside the castle, leaving Oda and his allies depleted and weary of battle. Oda didn’t attack Odani Castle again for three years, during which time the Asai managed to inflict a retaliatory defeat upon him which resulted in the death of Oda Nobuharu, Nobunaga’s younger brother. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_hist_battles_aizu The domain of Aizu provided constant resistance to the Imperialists during the Boshin war, so following the fall of Edo represented the keystone of the northern resistance. The Imperial forces resolved to break the back of this opposition, marching to war with Aizu in the Autumn of 1868. Through the Bonari Pass and into Aizu itself the invaders met with stout resistance but eventually forced the capitulation of Matsudaira Katamori, the daimyo of Aizu, in November of that year. The campaign is famous for the tenacious defence mounted by the citizens of Aizu, and in particular the White Tigers, the youngest of the enlisted Aizu soldiers. Mistakenly believing their home town lost, all but one committed seppuku on a hillside overlooking the castle. Following the battle, the traditional values espoused by their story resonated strongly through a Japan struggling to come to terms with its rapid modernisation. True

encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_hist_battles_hakodate In October 1868, towards the end of the Boshin War, the remaining forces of the Shogunate attempted to consolidate under the banner of the Ezo Republic. Around 3000 rebels retreated to the northern island of Hokkaido and occupied a massive star-fort known as Goryokaku. Built in the European style to counter potential threats from foreign aggressors, Goryokaku was thought to be virtually impregnable to assault. Even so, the rebels, and their French military advisors, lost no time in fortifying the surrounding countryside against the inevitable Imperial attack. Following the naval Battle of Miyako, Imperial forces landed on 9th April 1869. What followed was a period of intense fighting, as the Emperor’s men systematically defeated the entrenched rebel troops before besieging and capturing Goryokaku itself. Following the loss of around half its troop strength and the unexpected and hurried departure of its French military advisors, the Ezo Republic surrendered on 17th May 1869. True

encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_hist_battles_kawagoe By the late 16th century, the Hojo [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/002b_enc_glossary.html#enc_glossary_clan"]]clan[[/url]] had expanded into the Kanto region; territory previously ruled by their rivals the Uesugi. In 1545, seeking to reclaim the lost land, the two remaining branches of the Uesugi clan - the Yamanouchi and the Ogigayatsu – joined forces alongside Ashikaga Haruuji, a treacherous former Hojo ally. The Uesugi besieged Kawagoe castle with 85,000 men, capture of which would give them control of the valuable Hojo northern defences. Leading the garrison of 3,000 was Hojo Tsunanari, who managed to get word of the siege to his brother, Hojo Ujiyasu, in command of another 8,000 troops. Still massively outnumbered, the Hojo brothers’ only chance was a surprise night attack on the overconfident Uesugi. This daring assault resulted in disarray and utter defeat for the Uesugi and their allies. Ogigayatsu Tomosada was killed during the battle, bringing his line to an end. The Uesugi were also brought dangerously close to extinction. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_hist_battles_kawanakajima The rivalry began when Takeda Shingen’s conquests resulted in the expulsion of Uesugi allies Murakami Yoshiharu and Ogasawara Nagatoki from their fiefs and the Takeda began to threaten Uesugi Kenshin’s borders. Following a number of indecisive skirmishes, Kenshin decided to launch a massive assault to finally rid himself of Shingen. Kenshin’s army of 18,000 was positioned on the mountain of Saijoyama, looking down upon Shingen’s castle, and were unaware that they had caught him by surprise with only a small garrison present. Shingen, absent at the time, received word of Kenshin’s move and travelled to fortify the castle with 20,000 warriors, keeping the river between his force and Kenshin’s as protection. Once back inside the walls, Shingen attempted to trap Kenshin in a pincer movement, but the move was anticipated and Kenshin’s army broke through the Takeda defensive lines. Legend has it that Kenshin and Shingen personally met in battle and, caught off-guard in his command tent, Shingen fought defensively until a retainer could spear Kenshin’s horse and drive him away. Neither side was able to claim outright victory as, despite the eventual rout of the Uesugi army following a flanking action to their rear, the Takeda also lost many important generals in the battle. The 4th Battle of Kawanakajima resulted in the greatest number of casualties of any battle during the [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/002b_enc_glossary.html#enc_glossary_sengoku_jidai"]]Sengoku Jidai[[/url]].

encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_hist_battles_kizugawaguchi The Ikko-Ikki proved to be a great thorn in the side of Oda Nobunaga. They were fanatically dedicated, unafraid to die for their beliefs and had many powerful allies – who also happened to be enemies and rivals of Oda. Their main fortress was the Ishiyama Hongan-Ji, at the mouth of the Yodo River, and they were supported by the Mori, a [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/002b_enc_glossary.html#enc_glossary_clan"]]clan[[/url]] with formidable naval power. Oda Nobunaga had begun besieging the Hongan-Ji in 1576, but was met with great opposition. Seeking to weaken them, he set about isolating the monks from outside aid by breaking the Mori naval supply lines. Despite using Kuki Yoshitaka as his naval commander, who had served him so well at Nagashima, Oda’s fleet was outclassed by the superior Mori armada. For his second attempt, he discarded traditional fleet composition and instead replaced it with six giant, specially commissioned, iron-plated warships. These were called “o-adake bunes" and were larger than the adake bunes, which in themselves were massive vessels. However, the battle revealed a flaw in the ships: when one was boarded, the crew rushed to meet the threat and the sudden shift in weight capsized it! However, the o adake bunes still proved their worth, beating the Mori and cutting off the Ikko-Ikki’s supplies. With no aid or allies to help them, the Ikko-Ikki soon used up all their resources and were forced to capitulate in 1580, granting Oda Nobunaga his long sought victory. True

encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_hist_battles_miyako_bay On 6th May 1869, the Imperial Navy reached the northern island of Hokkaido and the rebel forces of the so-called “Ezo Republic”. However, the former Shogunate forces were ready for them, and launched several ships to head off the Imperial ships. Unfortunately, two of the Ezo ships had engine trouble. The Banryu got left behind and returned to port while the Takao couldn’t join the battle by the time Kaiten, the Ezo flagship, attacked and boarded its opposite number, the iron-clad Kotetsu. To make matters worse, the height difference between the Kaiten and the Kotetsu meant that the rebel samurai were unable to board en masse. Once the Kotetsu’s Gatling gun opened up the boarders were easily mown down. Somehow, the Kaiten managed to disengage and escape Miyako Bay, but the Takao, still crippled by engine failure, was beached and scuttled close by. The daring attempt to capture the Imperial flagship ended in failure, allowing the Imperial Army to land and proceed to Hakodate for the final battle of the war. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_hist_battles_nagashima Oda Nobunaga considered the rebellious Ikko-Ikki a very real threat, and one he would have to overcome if he was to rule Japan. The Ikko-Ikki was a religious fundamentalist sect made up of priests, peasants and farmers who fought for independent rule and rallied against the [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/002b_enc_glossary.html#enc_glossary_samurai"]]samurai[[/url]] warlords who were ravaging their land. In 1571, Nobunaga launched a campaign against them by attacking their Nagashima complex. However, his men were hindered by the poor, muddy terrain which left them vulnerable, forcing a retreat. A second attempt was made in 1573, but this time a heavy downpour drenched the Oda army’s matchlocks, and a swift counter-attack by the Ikko-Ikki once again forced him to withdraw. In 1574 Oda took a different approach, this time bolstering his land forces with a naval fleet commanded by Kuki Yoshitaka. Kuki’s ships bombarded the Ikko-Ikki defences with fire arrows, whilst also cutting them off from any supplies or reinforcements. Meanwhile, Oda’s land forces captured their forts until he had gained control of the west side of the island. Having established this foothold, the Ikko-Ikki back were forced back until they were cornered in a small area of the island. Cut off from supplies and any chance of relief, the Ikko-Ikki starved whilst a tall palisade was built around them. Oda set fire to the palisade, burning alive everyone inside. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_hist_battles_nagashino In 1575, a combined Oda and Tokugawa force of 38,000 was sent to alleviate Nagashino Castle, then besieged by Takeda Katsuyori. Though the Takeda army of 15,000 was vastly outnumbered, his cavalry was incredibly powerful and were dreaded by the allies, who had previously suffered defeat at their hands on the field at Mikatagahara. Oda Nobunaga himself possessed 3,000 matchlock troops, believing that a solid wall of arquebusiers could stop the Takeda cavalry charge in its tracks. The allied forces were positioned in front of the Rengogawa River and Oda Nobunaga built a wooden stockade to protect his men from the brunt of the enemy charge. Takeda Katsuyori sent his cavalry to attack, believing that the heavy rain would render most of the guns useless and that those that did work could not be reloaded quickly enough for a second barrage. However, Nobunaga’s matchlocks remained dry and unleashed their fire upon the Takeda cavalry as they slowed down to negotiate the steep banks of the river, resulting in the routing of the Takeda army and the lifting of the siege at Nagashino.

encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_hist_battles_okehazama In 1560, Imagawa Yoshimoto, a great warlord, marched an army of approximately 25,000 towards Kyoto. He had spread word that his army had far greater numbers in order to strike fear into the hearts of potential challengers, and his army had already taken the Oda [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/002b_enc_glossary.html#enc_glossary_clan"]]clan's[[/url]] border fortresses of Washizu and Marune. Oda Nobunaga was the ruler of the Oda province, but his rise to power had been controversial and he was still unproven. He sent out scouts, who reported back that the army was celebrating their recent victories with dance and drink at a forest gorge called Dengaku-hazama. Although his army was vastly outnumbered, Oda rightly suspected that the reports of Imagawa’s numbers had been greatly exaggerated and realised that, while they were camped at Dengaku-hazama, there was a chance they could be taken by surprise. Ignoring the pleas of his advisors to surrender, he set up a small army in front of the gorge that carried many banners to give the appearance that his main force had arrived. Then, Oda’s main force of 3000 sneaked through the forest to the rear of Imagawa’s camp. At this point a large storm erupted, enabling them to get close without detection. Once it cleared, Oda’s army rushed into the camp. The Imagawa army was indeed still celebrating, was caught by surprise and were so shocked that they fled in all directions - their discipline and training entirely forgotten. This left Imagawa Yoshimoto unprotected in his tent and still unaware that anything was wrong. He had been inspecting the heads he had collected as trophies from the last battle and, upon hearing the commotion, simply thought the drunken revelry had gotten out of control. As he left the tent, he mistook one of Nobunaga’s men as his own and ordered him back to his post. He realised his error in time to dodge the samurai’s spear, but was quickly beheaded by another. By the time the battle was over, only two of the Imagawa officers remained and, knowing they were beaten, they joined Oda Nobunaga’s force along with their surviving troops. One of these men was Tokugawa Ieyasu, who remained a lifelong ally of Oda Nobunaga as he began his own brilliant career trajectory. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_hist_battles_sekigahara Before his death, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, unifier of Japan, established the Council of Five Elders to rule as regents until his heir Hideyori, came of age. However, one of the elders, Tokugawa Ieyasu, was unable to accept Toyotomi Hideyori as [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/002b_enc_glossary.html#enc_glossary_shogun"]]shogun[[/url]], as the Toyotomi were originally of peasant stock. Wanting power for himself, Tokugawa pitted himself against the loyalist council members, including Ishida Mitsunari. Soon there were two camps; Ieyasu’s eastern side and Mitsunari’s western side. Both sides tried to enlist the aid of Kobayakawa Hideaki and other more moderate daimyos. At the Battle of Sekigahara, Ieyasu and Mitsunari’s armies clashed, each awaiting Hideaki to join their side in the battle. As his position overlooked them, Hideaki could either surround Ieyasu or bolster his army. Realising that his involvement was crucial to the outcome, Hideaki ignored Ishida Mistunari‘s signal to join him, but did not rush to help the Tokugawa either. To coax him into action, Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered his troops to fire upon Hideaki’s, a gamble which paid off when he promptly chose to join Ieyasu! The subsequent assault on eastern positions caused four generals to immediately switch sides, severely weakening the eastern forces, which soon fell apart. In the aftermath of the battle several eastern generals committed suicide, their leader Ishida Mitsunari was executed and many others lost control of their fiefdoms in favour of those who supported the Tokugawa.

encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_hist_battles_toba_fushimi Following the anti-Shogunate political intrigues set in motion by the Satsuma and Choshu domains, Tokugawa Yoshinobu, the Shogun, sent his army to report his suspicions to the Emperor. At least, that was the pretext. There had recently been much provocation of Shogunate forces in the capital city, Kyoto, and it is thought that Tokugawa intended to remove the radical elements from the Imperial Court. As his army approached Kyoto they found a Satsuma force blocking the route. Armed with new Western artillery, the Satsuma and their allies, the Choshu, had no intention of allowing the Shogun’s army into Kyoto. They raised the banner of the Emperor against the army of the Shogun. War became inevitable. After two bloody days of fighting the Shogun’s army were in retreat to his base at the mighty Osaka Castle. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_hist_battles_ueno Following his surrender of the capital and his resignation, Tokugawa Yoshinobu, the former Shogun, retired to his family’s Kan’ei-ji Temple at Ueno. However, the Shogitai, the forces loyal to his office, refused to give up the fight so easily. They continued to harass the Imperial army as it occupied Edo. Eventually, and despite a disparity of numbers, the Imperial forces, chiefly the Satsuma, attacked Kan’ei-ji. Despite heavy casualties, the Satsuma managed to pin down the entrenched Shogitai until the Choshu, the Satsuma’s allies, charged the defenders’ rear. Although outnumbered, the Imperial army’s use of the most modern available guns tipped the balance in their favour. Most of the Shogitai leaders escaped by sea, including the abbot of the temple, Prince Yoshihisa, who was actually a member of the Imperial family and a candidate for the Imperial throne if the Shogunate won.

encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_army_attack_ambush An army positioned in a forest can sometimes launch an ambush against a passing enemy. If you choose to attack, your forces can be split between each side of the road and the enemy force will be deployed in marching, rather than battle, order. The enemy army will not have the opportunity to move their units in any way until the battle starts, so deploy carefully to cause maximum confusion and disorder. If you decide not to launch an ambush, the army will pass without being alerted to your presence.

encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_army_attack_siege In order to gain control of a garrisoned and fortified castle town it is often necessary to lay siege. During a siege your troops surround the castle town and can either attempt to starve the defenders into capitulation or launch a direct assault. The besieged force may also choose to sally out to meet you on the battlefield, but be aware that defeating them will not automatically result in the surrender of the castle to you. Victory in a siege turns ownership of the province over to your clan. You then have the option to occupy peacefully or loot the castle town.

encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_burn All units automatically use this ability when walls and [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/054_enc_manual_battle_conflict_buildings.html"]]buildings[[/url]] on the battlefield are targeted; moving to and setting fire to them with flaming torches. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_crane "Swooping Crane" is a skirmishing tactic used by [[url="encyclopedia/units/cav_missile_bow_cavalry.html"]]horse archer units[[/url]] to harass their targets with a constant barrage of arrows; it is essentially the same as the "Cantabrian Circle" used in Europe and the middle east. If the attacking unit is positioned within range of more than one unit the ability will result in a firing arc of 360 degrees. Swooping Crane can be used in conjunction with [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/049_enc_manual_battle_conflict_controls.html#enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_modes_skirmish"]]skirmish mode[[/url]] to keep horse archers away from melee situations. The downside of this ability is a drain on their stamina due to the constant movement involved. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_fast_reload The ability to reload faster is useful for ships engaged in ranged combat and [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/057_enc_manual_battle_conflict_sieges.html#enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_towers"]]upgradable tower defences[[/url]] during a [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/057_enc_manual_battle_conflict_sieges.html"]]siege[[/url]] on land, but requires a period of cooling down to limit its exploitability. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_firing_speed This ability is used by [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/057_enc_manual_battle_conflict_sieges.html#enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_towers"]]upgradable tower defences[[/url]] to increase their rate of fire through faster turning of the crank handles by gun crews. Once activated, increased firing speed works for a short time only before burning out. The guns will then not work at all as the gunners recover from [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/053_enc_manual_battle_conflict_fatigue.html"]]fatigue[[/url]], thereby limiting exploitability of the feature. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_firm The ability to hold firm is used by [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/018e_enc_manual_actions_campaign_construction.html#enc_text_manual_actions_campaign_construction_legendary_heroes"]]heroes[[/url]] to freeze [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/052_enc_manual_battle_conflict_morale.html"]]morale[[/url]] and greatly increase defensive capabilities, not only for themselves but also the three units closest to them. Once activated, this ability works for a short time only before burning out. It is then unavailable for a fixed period, thereby limiting its exploitability. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_ganbatte Ganbatte, or “increased effort”, is the ability to increase the radius of the [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/027_enc_manual_army_moves.html"]]general’s[[/url]] influence, thereby improving the [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/052_enc_manual_battle_conflict_morale.html"]]morale[[/url]], melee capability, and missile accuracy/reload time of all units positioned within it. Ganbatte can be used whilst the general’s unit is moving, but has a cooling down time between activations to limit its exploitability. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_grenades Blinding grenades are used by [[url="encyclopedia/units/inf_special_kisho_ninjas.html"]]kisho ninja[[/url]] to cause disorientation that affects the enemy's movement speed, missile accuracy and ability to fight in melee. Once activated, there is only a short time available to strike before the ability burns out. It is then unavailable for a fixed period, thereby limiting its exploitability. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_inspire_land Generals can inspire a single unit to increase the violence of their melee attack, improve missile accuracy and ensure that the unit's [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/052_enc_manual_battle_conflict_morale.html"]]morale[[/url]] increases for the duration of the effect. Select your general and then right-click on a unit. If the unit is not standing within the radius of his influence, your general will move closer until it is. Once targeted, the unit will be inspired for a short time before the ability burns out. Inspire can only be used a few times before becoming unavailable for a fixed period, thereby limiting its exploitability. As a general gains experience in the field, the ability to inspire improves and the cooling down time required between activations is reduced. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_inspire_sea This ability can only be used by the [[url="encyclopedia/units/heavy_ship_o_ataka_bune.html"]]o ataka bune[[/url]] and the flagship named [[url="encyclopedia/units/heavy_ship_nihon_maru.html"]]“Nihon Maru"[[/url]]. These command ships can encourage the crews of friendly ships within a certain range to increase the violence of their melee attack and defence, improve their reload skill and accuracy. Once used, the ships will be encouraged for a short time before the ability burns out. It is then unavailable for a fixed period, thereby limiting exploitability. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_kill_zone The kill zone is used by [[url="encyclopedia/units/boshin_art_armstrong_guns.html"]]artillery units[[/url]] to concentrate their fire over a smaller area with greater accuracy. It is not possible to move the artillery piece in question whilst this ability is activated. After the kill zone expires there is a cooling down time before the next activation in order to limit its exploitability. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_kisho All [[url="encyclopedia/units/Inf_Special_Kisho_Ninjas.html"]]kisho ninja[[/url]] units have the ability to deploy outside their army's [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/046_enc_manual_battle_deployment.html#enc_text_manual_battle_deployment_zones"]]deployment zone[[/url]], in fact, almost anywhere on the battlefield except inside the enemy deployment zone or directly in front of the enemy general. Most units belonging to the Hattori clan have this attribute and can also hide their positions from the enemy - including when moving through forests and scrub - until they open fire, when they instantly become visible. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_kneel_fire Kneel fire is an ability whereby the front rank of a stationary [[url="encyclopedia/units/boshin_inf_line_infantry.html"]]infantry unit[[/url]] kneels and then the first two ranks fire simultaneously. It can be toggled on and off with the dedicated button on the [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/047_enc_manual_battle_conflict.html#enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_review"]]battle review panel[[/url]]. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_mines The primitive but effective naval mines used at this time consist of a bomb strapped to a wooden board. They will explode when a ship hits them. Mines can be positioned and primed during the [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/046_enc_manual_battle_deployment.html"]]deployment phase[[/url]] (remaining in place once the battle starts) or be dropped during the battle. They will only become visible to the enemy at close range when it may already be too late to do anything about them. Since it is not possible to adjust the position of mines after the [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/046_enc_manual_battle_deployment.html"]]deployment phase[[/url]], it is vital that care is taken in their placement - mines will destroy friendly ships too! True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_rally Generals can use their regroup position ability to place a flag on the battlefield for troops – except those who are completely shattered – to rally to following a rout. Once the ability is activated, the cursor can be placed anywhere within the radius of the selected general's influence by left-clicking on the terrain. Rallied units will then gather close to that position. Any reinforcements due to arrive will move to and assemble at the regrouping position. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_overheat_engine Your ships can boost their speed for a short period of time to escape [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/bosh_enc_ammo_types.html#enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_torpedoes"]]torpedo[[/url]] fire, but at the risk of overheating their engines. After this burst of speed the ship will only be able to move slowly for a time whilst its engines cool. Remember that there is a risk of blowing up your engines when powering them so hard - so the more this ability is used, the greater the danger to the ship in question. The cooling down period between activations limits the ability’s exploitability. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_rally Generals can use their regroup position ability to place a flag on the battlefield for troops - except those who are completely shattered - to rally to following a rout. Once the ability is activated, the cursor can be placed anywhere within the radius of the selected general's influence by left-clicking on the terrain. Rallied units will then gather close to that position. Any reinforcements due to arrive will move to and assemble at the regrouping position. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_ramming If manoeuvred carefully, [[url="encyclopedia/units/boshin_ironclad_hms_warrior.html"]]ironclad ships[[/url]] can ram enemy vessels during battle. In order to successfully ram, you must manually find the optimum angle before giving the order. At this point the ship’s speed will increase dramatically to achieve maximum impact. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_range Increased range is used by [[url="encyclopedia/units/inf_missile_matchlock_warrior_monks.html"]]matchlock warrior monks[[/url]], enabling them to increase the range and accuracy of their weapons for a limited time, after which the ability burns out. It is then unavailable for a fixed period, thereby limiting its exploitability. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_ranked Ranked fire is used by all units armed with guns. As the first row of gunners kneels to reload their weapons, the second row stands and fires, and vice versa. This ability can be toggled on and off in the same way as other abilities. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_rowing When faster rowing is used, the crews of [[url="encyclopedia/units/cannon_ship_cannon_bune.html"]]cannon bune[[/url]] are able to row faster in order to facilitate the hit and run tactics they employ. A dedicated button will appear when faster rowing is available. Once activated, there is only a short time to use it before the ability burns out. It is then unavailable for a fixed period, thereby limiting its exploitability. When faster rowing is activated the crew will row faster than [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/060d_enc_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_speed.html"]]battle speed[[/url]]. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_screens Screens are large wooden shields that, if you are the defender, are erected during the [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/046_enc_manual_battle_deployment.html"]]deployment phase[[/url]] and used to protect archers in between volleys. They cannot be traversed by units and will stop any missiles fired directly at them - although arrows will tend to arch over the top of them due to their angle of fire. It is not possible to string screens together into a continuous wall. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_shrapnel_shot Shrapnel shot is a type of shell that explodes mid-air, showering a targeted enemy unit with deadly metal fragments. It works as an ability and, once activated, is then unavailable for a fixed period, thereby limiting its exploitability. Shrapnel shot can be used by [[url="encyclopedia/units/boshin_art_armstrong_guns.html"]]Armstrong guns[[/url]] and [[url="encyclopedia/units/boshin_art_parrot_guns.html"]]Parrott guns[[/url]]. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_speed Battle speed is an ability that can be used by all ships to give them a burst of speed for a short time during a battle. It is not as powerful as [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/060h_enc_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_rowing.html"]]faster rowing[[/url]]. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_sprint The rapid advance ability is used by [[url="encyclopedia/units/inf_spear_yari_samurai.html"]]yari samurai[[/url]], enabling a burst of speed and increasing the violence of their charge, along with immunity to [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/053_enc_manual_battle_conflict_fatigue.html"]]fatigue[[/url]] whilst the effect lasts. Once activated, the unit will be able to advance rapidly for a short time only before the ability burns out. It is then unavailable for a fixed period, thereby limiting its exploitability. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_square The yari square is an ability used by yari [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/018e_enc_manual_actions_campaign_construction.html#enc_text_manual_actions_campaign_construction_legendary_heroes"]]heroes[[/url]] to deflect attacks by cavalry units. Once activated, the unit forms a tight, immobile square formation with their spears presented - like a human porcupine. Although the [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/052_enc_manual_battle_conflict_morale.html"]]morale[[/url]] of such a tightly-packed unit is very high, they are extremely vulnerable to missile attacks. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_stand This ability is available to experienced generals, giving them an increased radius of influence that improves the melee attack and rate of fire of any of his own units caught within it. Allied troops do not benefit from the effects. The general sets up a command post with his bodyguard clustered around him, indicating that he will not consider retreat or surrender. This takes a while to set up and take down again, so instant toggling on or off is not possible. The general cannot use any other abilities whilst stand & fight is activated. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_suppression_fire Suppression fire is a technique whereby an infantry unit lays down a curtain of fire as fast as they can, increasing the rate of fire but reducing accuracy. Enemy units caught by suppression fire have their movement speed reduced and [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/052_enc_manual_battle_conflict_morale.html"]]morale[[/url]] lowered. After the ability expires there is a cooling down time before the next activation in order to limit its exploitability. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_volley The rapid volley ability is used by [[url="encyclopedia/units/inf_missile_matchlock_samurai.html"]]matchlock-armed samurai[[/url]], enabling them to greatly increase their rate of missile fire against a single target. Once activated, there is only a short time available to strike before the ability burns out. It is then unavailable for a fixed period, thereby limiting its exploitability. Rapid volleys are not available at the very start of a battle. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_wall The yari wall is a technique employed by [[url="encyclopedia/units/inf_spear_yari_ashigaru.html"]]yari ashigaru[[/url]], enabling them to lock together and present their weapons in a single direction. Whilst the ability is active the unit moves and turns slower. Attacks made to the front of a yari wall are far less effective; cavalry charges made against them are practically useless. Attacks made to the rear or flanks of a unit are far more damaging whilst the yari wall is presented, so the ability is best used when several units are close together and protected by cavalry. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_warcry_land The war cry is used by all [[url="encyclopedia/units/inf_heavy_naginata_warrior_monks.html"]]warrior monk units[[/url]] and [[url="encyclopedia/units/inf_heavy_naginata_warrior_monk_hero.html"]]heroes[[/url]] to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies. When activated, the war cry greatly lowers the [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/052_enc_manual_battle_conflict_morale.html"]]morale[[/url]], movement speed and defensive capabilities of nearby enemy units - even [[url="encyclopedia/units/inf_special_kisho_ninjas.html"]]kisho ninja[[/url]], who may be hidden due to their use of the [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/060a_enc_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_assassination.html"]]stealth[[/url]] ability. The war cry ability works for a short time only before burning out, at which point it is unavailable for a fixed period to limit its exploitability. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_warcry_sea The crews of [[url="encyclopedia/units/medium_ship_medium_bune.html"]]medium[[/url]] and [[url="encyclopedia/units/heavy_ship_heavy_bune.html"]]heavy[[/url]] ships can utter a war cry to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies. When activated, the war cry lowers [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/052_enc_manual_battle_conflict_morale.html"]]morale[[/url]] and reduces both the attack and the defence ability of the ship they are about to board. The war cry ability works for a short time only before burning out, at which point it is unavailable for a fixed period to limit its exploitability. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_wind The second wind ability is used by [[url="encyclopedia/units/cav_spear_great_guard.html"]]great guard cavalry[[/url]] units, also affecting the three friendly units nearest to them. A second wind inspires them to put every last effort into the battle, restoring a degree of stamina when the unit is already very tired from combat. Once activated, the ability works for a limited time only before burning out. It is then unavailable for a fixed period, thereby limiting its exploitability. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_abilities_wind The second wind ability is used by [[url="encyclopedia/units/cav_spear_great_guard.html"]]great guard cavalry[[/url]], [[url="encyclopedia/units/genpei_inf_heavy_onna_bushi.html"]]onna bushi[[/url]], [[url="encyclopedia/units/genpei_cav_missile_samurai_hero.html"]]mounted samurai hero[[/url]], [[url="encyclopedia/units/inf_spear_yari_hero.html"]]yari hero[[/url]] and [[url="encyclopedia/units/up1_inf_heavy_marathon_monks_uesugi.html"]]marathon monk[[/url]] units, also affecting the three friendly units nearest to them.

Once activated, the ability works for a limited time only before burning out. It is then unavailable for a fixed period, thereby limiting its exploitability. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_attributes Attributes are the innate, "passive" abilities that units can use. As such, they do not generally have to be activated, although they may bestow an [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/060_enc_manual_battle_conflict_abilities.html"]]ability[[/url]] that can be activated: True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_attributes_attrition Units with this attribute will not suffer from [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/030_enc_manual_army_attrition.html"]]attrition[[/url]] on the campaign map.

encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_attributes_climb Units that have this attribute can use climbing claws to scale walls quickly. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_attributes_disciplined A disciplined unit has high [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/052_enc_manual_battle_conflict_morale.html"]]morale[[/url]] that cannot easily be shaken. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_attributes_dismount Some cavalry units can dismount and remount during battle. If their horses subsequently take casualties they will all run from the field. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_attributes_fatigue A unit that is resistant to [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/053_enc_manual_battle_conflict_fatigue.html"]]fatigue[[/url]] will take longer to tire battle. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_attributes_grass Some units can hide in long grass only. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_attributes_inspire Some units can boost the [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/052_enc_manual_battle_conflict_morale.html"]]morale[[/url]] of other units positioned close to them. True

encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_capture Following victory in a battle, and dependent on having an empty space for a unit in your army, there is a chance that the vanquished enemy's [[url="encyclopedia/units/art_fire_projecting_mangonels.html"]]siege weapons[[/url]] will be captured by your men. If this occurs they will appear on the [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/032_enc_manual_ui_battle.html#enc_text_manual_ui_battle_post"]]post-battle statistics panel[[/url]]. The crew will be replaced by your own men. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_controls_balance During a battle the balance of power bar tracks the relative strength of your force against the enemy's. Mouse over it to see the units remaining on each side. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_controls_compass The manoeuvre compass is used for fine-tuning orders on the battlefield. The three arrows within its top half can be used to direct a unit or group straight ahead, or turn left or right. The button in the centre of the lower half causes the selected unit to step backwards. Holding down this button will make them turn and walk backwards. Clicking and holding down the rank and file buttons on either side change the depth of a unit's formation by increasing or decreasing the number of rows the troops stand in. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_controls_radar The radar map allows an aerial view of the battle detailing the position of your units or ships and those enemies that are visible, and also topography to assist in planning an attack. Use the plus and minus buttons to zoom in or out and the button in the corner to minimise or maximise the map. Remember to keep checking the map for enemy reinforcements. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_controls_speed The game speed controls are used to adjust the speed of the battle. You can pause the game or put it into slow motion by clicking on buttons to the left or return it to normal by clicking on the central button again. The two positions further right are for double and quadruple speed respectively. Remember that you can use these controls instead of tiring your troops out by running to engage the enemy. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_controls_timer The battle timer shows how much time is left before a battle ends.

True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_crossings_attack When attacking across a river, try to soften up the enemy on the far bank by bombarding them with missiles first. Once they are weakened, your assault has a better chance of succeeding. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_crossings_bridges If there is a bridge or ford crossing a river on the campaign map, and an army is standing on it when they are attacked, the resulting battle will occur at the crossing, so the battlefield will feature the river and at least one bridge or ford. Remember if you are the defender that you may have to defend two crossings, or the second one could be used to your advantage. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_crossings_defence When defending a river crossing it may be best to stand back in order to stay out of range of enemy missile troops. When their main force starts to cross, rush a couple of units up to stop them. Also be wary of multiple crossings. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_fatigue As a battle progresses, the units involved gradually become exhausted due to the high level of physical effort required to run and fight for such a protracted length of time. Once a unit becomes exhausted, even moving slowly becomes a great effort, leaving them particularly vulnerable to cavalry charges. In order to combat fatigue, do not run everywhere and ensure that your troops are adequately reinforced before they become exhausted. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_forests Be careful when fighting in woods or forests, cavalry will be far less effective due to the restrictions on movement provided by tree cover. Similarly, [[url="encyclopedia/units/art_fire_projecting_mangonels.html"]]siege weapons[[/url]] can be fired when deployed in a wood or forest, but their effectiveness will be greatly reduced due to the proximity of the trees.

encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_modes_halt Pressing this button cancels orders and makes selected units or ships stop where they are. This is a quicker alternative to giving them a different order. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_modes_loose Although available to all units, loose formation is best used to increase the target area of missile units, make them more difficult for enemy missile troops to target (as they not standing closely packed together), and by cavalry to more easily ride down routers. Loose formation is not suitable for charges of any kind, as a closely-packed mass of men is crucial to the impact required to smash through a line. It can be toggled on and off by clicking on the loose formation button that appears in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen when a unit is selected. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_modes_melee Pressing the melee mode button locks the selected melee-capable units into melee mode, so all attack orders will result in a hand-to-hand attack until you click on the melee button again. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_modes_naval_fire_support In Fall of the Samurai if it is possible for your army to call in fire support from a nearby fleet, there will be a naval fire support button on the battle UI to issue a bombardment order. After clicking on it, simply left-click on the area of the battlefield you wish to attack. Once issued, the command to launch fire support can be rescinded by right-clicking anywhere on the land or sea away from the user interface.

encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_battle_conflict_port_battles In Fall of the Samurai, if a port is attacked whilst ships are docked there, a siege battle must be fought for control of it. To achieve victory when attacking you must completely destroy the defending fleet or pound the port until it is reduced to rubble. If there are coastal defences in place the defending force will be bolstered by fire from gun batteries, which will act as fixed artillery whilst the battle is occurring. They will automatically select targets when set to fire-at-will, but you can also select and target the guns yourself if you wish. True

High level buildings of the market chain also consume food. Food is produced by farms; the higher the level of farm, the larger the amount of food produced. It is essential to strike a balance between food production and consumption as food shortages at a castle town will quickly damage public order and lead to [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/020_enc_manual_public_order.html#enc_text_manual_public_order_rebellions"]]insurrection[[/url]].<p><p>When a clan’s food supply is short (indicated by a negative number in the bottom right-hand corner of the campaign map next to their income) the size of the food shortage is the deciding factor in the number of provinces affected by it (e.g. -1 = one province, -2 = two provinces, etc.) Each affected province will get a negative public order factor that increases by one during each subsequent turn.

encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_hud_diplomacy_mechanics Diplomacy is the art of negotiation used to maintain relations between rival [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/002b_enc_glossary.html#enc_glossary_clan"]]clans[[/url]] for as long as possible.

True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_hud_diplomacy_options_access Military access allows armies to pass through each other's territory without declaring war. If you are invited to join a war you will be automatically granted access to your ally's territory for the duration of that war. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_hud_diplomacy_options_alliance A military alliance between two [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/002b_enc_glossary.html#enc_glossary_clan"]]clans[[/url]] allows you to call on an ally to provide assistance when at war, and likewise. Note that a refusal to provide support when an ally is under attack will instantly cancel the alliance between you. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_hud_diplomacy_options_counteroffer If a clan’s initial offer or demand isn’t quite what you had in mind you can use the counter-offer option to enable further negotiation to take place, rather than simply rejecting it. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_hud_diplomacy_options_hostages If a [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/002b_enc_glossary.html#enc_glossary_clan"]]clan[[/url]] continually rejects your [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/018j_enc_manual_actions_diplomacy.html"]]diplomatic offers[[/url]] you can barter with the life of a hostage as the bargaining chip. A hostage is a randomly chosen member of that clan's [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/016_enc_manual_hud_management.html"]]family[[/url]], older than five years of age but never a general. Once taken as a hostage no action can be performed on or by the character until they are released. Hostage-taking has a time restriction on it of eight turns, and if the deal has been upheld up to that point the character is returned alive and the diplomatic agreement between your two clans continues. If the agreement is broken during that time the hostage is killed. A hostage can only be included as part of a deal, never as a deal in itself. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_hud_diplomacy_options_marriage Although marriages within your clan between daughters and retainers is possible, the female members of your family are also useful diplomatic tools when dealing with other [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/002b_enc_glossary.html#enc_glossary_clan"]]clans[[/url]]. The offering of an unmarried daughter by one clan to another in order to seal good relations between the two can greatly strengthen a [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/015_enc_manual_hud_diplomacy.html"]]diplomatic relationship[[/url]] and produce heirs to the leadership of the husband's clan. When a daughter is offered and accepted she is immediately removed from your [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/016_enc_manual_hud_management.html"]]family tree[[/url]]. Only clans with a neutral diplomatic relationship or better can inter-marry, and of course other clans may disapprove of the match, negatively affecting your relations with them. If marriage is offered to you when you have no suitable family members available, another clan member may be accepted as a suitor. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_hud_diplomacy_options_money It is possible to offer or demand money as part of a diplomatic deal. Unsolicited gifts of cash can help to improve diplomatic relations too, which is useful if you want to keep a rival [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/002b_enc_glossary.html#enc_glossary_clan"]]clan[[/url]] happy just long enough to prepare your stab in the back! True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_hud_diplomacy_options_peace Use this option to broker peace with a [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/002b_enc_glossary.html#enc_glossary_clan"]]clan[[/url]] you are at war with. Note that it will often be necessary to "sweeten" a peace treaty with other concessions such as a [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/015d_enc_manual_hud_diplomacy_options_money.html"]]payment[[/url]] or [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/015g_enc_manual_hud_diplomacy_options_hostages.html"]]hostage[[/url]], especially if your clan was the aggressor of the conflict. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_hud_diplomacy_options_threaten The threaten option is a diplomatic tool to help you get your own way in certain situations. The effectiveness of a threat greatly depends on the military strength of the [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/002b_enc_glossary.html#enc_glossary_clan"]]clan[[/url]] you are threatening relative to your own, so you must not use the option without fully considering what it means to do so - making threats you cannot or choose not to back up will result in them becoming less effective each time you use them. It must also be borne in mind when making threats that the threatened party will not look kindly upon those who like to throw their military weight around - your [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/015_enc_manual_hud_diplomacy.html"]]diplomatic relations[[/url]] will suffer drastically, eventually leading to war between you. If you are threatened by another clan, refusal to comply with their wishes may mean they instantly declare war on you, so you must be sure of your military strength before doing so. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_hud_diplomacy_options_trade_agreement A trade agreement is a deal between two [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/002b_enc_glossary.html#enc_glossary_clan"]]clans[[/url]] agreeing the type and price of commodities to be traded. The details of such an agreement are not visible to the player, you simply set it up - the rest of the negotiation is implied by the other party's acceptance. Once agreed, a trade route is opened between the territory of your clan and that of your trade partner, enabling goods to be traded straight away for mutual advantage and profit. A trade agreement can be both offered and demanded. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_hud_diplomacy_options_trade_embargo A trade embargo is an agreement between two or more [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/002b_enc_glossary.html#enc_glossary_clan"]]clans[[/url]] not to trade with a specified third clan. A trade embargo can be both offered and demanded. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_hud_diplomacy_options_vassals Vassals are [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/002b_enc_glossary.html#enc_glossary_clan"]]clans[[/url]] who agree to exchange 50% of their income and unlimited [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/015c1_enc_manual_hud_diplomacy_access.html"]]military access[[/url]] in return for the protection the military might of their overlord affords. The net result of this is that vassals may find themselves dragged into conflicts not of their own design, and unlike regular [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/015c_enc_manual_hud_diplomacy_options_alliance.html"]]allies[[/url]], cannot decline a request to fight for their overlord without automatically declaring war on them. Clans do not usually offer themselves as vassals, the situation is generally forced upon them as part of a diplomatic deal that is more of a thinly-veiled threat than a fair and balanced offer. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_hud_diplomacy_options_war_declare The declare war option is used to officially open armed hostilities with another [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/002b_enc_glossary.html#enc_glossary_clan"]]clan[[/url]], as opposed to simply marching into their territory to stake your claim. Never declare war without first considering the consequences, as an ill-prepared assault could have consequences resulting in your reduction to [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/015e_enc_manual_hud_diplomacy_options_vassals.html"]]vassal[[/url]] status or worse, the annihilation of your clan. Note that when making your declaration the check box asking [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/015c_enc_manual_hud_diplomacy_options_alliance.html"]]allies[[/url]] to join you is defaulted to yes. Your allies will assess the situation and may agree to declare war, but might just as easily break off your alliance, leaving you to fend for yourself. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_hud_diplomacy_options_war_join At any time during a conflict, the join war option can be used to request that an ally declares war on a [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/002b_enc_glossary.html#enc_glossary_clan"]]clan[[/url]] you are already fighting against. This means you can look for new [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/015c_enc_manual_hud_diplomacy_options_alliance.html"]]allies[[/url]] to help if the war is not necessarily going your way. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_hud_diplomacy_relations What one [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/002b_enc_glossary.html#enc_glossary_clan"]]clan[[/url]] thinks of another is characterised by diplomatic relations - friendly, indifferent, unfriendly, hostile.

True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_hud_events_dilemmas_religion Periodically, European traders - the nanban - will try to instigate trade with you. If you accept their overtures and construct a nanban trade port it will eventually be possible to change your clan’s official religion to Christianity. Conversion will give you access to cheaper matchlock ashigaru that will take less time to recruit, but may alienate you from own people and, to some extent, traditional Buddhist clans. However, it is possible to keep Buddhist buildings in your provinces to appease the more traditional elements of your population. Christianity will also enable you to construct a nanban quarter at your port, giving you access to European cannon and ships. Convert religion by going to the [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/016_enc_manual_hud_management.html#enc_text_manual_hud_management_family"]]family & council tab[[/url]] on the [[url="encyclopedia/how_to_play/016_enc_manual_hud_management.html"]]clan management panel[[/url]] and clicking on the dedicated button in the top left-hand corner. Remember that if you capture a province containing buildings of a different religion that their influence will still be felt, so it is best to demolish them and ensure an adequate garrison is in place to manage the shift to your own religion.

The “provinces within points of capture or loss” filter allows you to enter a value to display on the map all of the provinces that the selected clan is within that number of points of capturing. Conversely, the same filter allows you to display all of the provinces on the map that the selected clan is on the point of losing. True

encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_multiplayer_clan_map_province_capture To succeed in the clan competition your clan must acquire influence points from the provinces on the map.

encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_multiplayer_co_op_campaign A co-operative campaign allows two players to play a full campaign against AI opponents. It is largely similar to a standard multiplayer campaign, with the addition of a shared victory condition: both co-op partners must retain possession of their capital, but required provincial conquests are shared between them. Diplomatic states are also shared between partners, meaning that if one declares war against an AI clan, their partner will also be at war with that AI clan. Similarly, ceasefires and alliances will also be shared. Within a partnership, the field of view on the campaign map will be shared, including line of sight from units and buildings, and the unveiling of the hidden sections of the campaign map. True
encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_multiplayer_co_op_unit_sharing During a co-op campaign, it is possible for players to share troops during their battles. Simply select a unit on the battlefield in the usual way, then click the gift units button in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. Control of those units will be transferred to your co-op partner for the duration of that battle. This process works both ways so that partners can swap troops back and forth between them as often as they like during a battle. Even if one player has no troops involved, he can still enter the battle and be ready to receive shared units whenever his partner is ready. Once the battle is over, shared units return to the control of the partner who recruited them. True

encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_public_order_riots When unhappiness becomes too great the peasants will riot.

encyclopedia_blocks_content_enc_text_manual_ui_battle_3d_night A general can sometimes choose to fight at night.
