About This Game The renowned historical simulation series returns with enhanced features in 'Nobunaga's Ambition: Sphere on Influence'. Take the role of the legendary Warring States Daimyō (Warlords) such as 'Nobunaga Oda' and 'Shingen Takeda' to work your way towards unification by making best use of domestic affairs, diplomacy and battles against the fierce Warlord neighbors. Marking the series' 35th anniversary, Nobunaga's Ambition: Taishi remains true to the long-running franchise's historical simulation gameplay, allowing players to relive some of the most epic battles and notable events of the Sengoku Era in Japan. Nobunaga's Ambition is the second in a long-running series of historical strategy games set against Japan's Warring States era. Its title refers to Nobunaga Oda, one of the most powerful warlords of the era, who was on a path to unifying Japan under his rule until his assassination in 1582.
Nobunaga's Ambition II is the sequel to Nobunaga's Ambition. The setting is 16th century feudal Japan, a period when ruthless daimyo (feudal lords) contended with each other for dominance. Ultimately, the winner in this struggle will become Shogun and hold actual power over the islands, while being nominally subject to the Emperor.
The game casts the player as one of the daimyo, allowing them freedom to decide the fate and future of feudal Japan, through diplomacy and ultimately war. The objective is to unify Japan under the player's rule. If the player fails through death on the battlefield, assassination at the hands of a ninja, or through natural causes, they can choose a successor and play on. Functionally, the first job is to let prosper the fief (province) under the player's control through agricultural development and town investment.
The Nobunaga's Ambition series has garnered several awards over the years. According to Koei's website, various releases in the series have won Log-In magazine's 'BHS Prize', the 'Minister of Post & Telecommunications Prize', Nikkei BP's 12th, 13th and 14th annual 'Best PC Software' awards, and CD-ROM Fan's 'Fan of the Year 2001 Grand Prize'. Now comes Nobunaga's Ambition II. Is the sequel new and exciting enough to make it worth trying? Koei's game designers have become quite comfortable with Nintendo, and everything now 'fits' and looks great to boot. And in terms of graphics, Nobunaga II is crisper, more vivid, and considerably richer in detail than the original Nobunaga.
Nobunaga's Ambition 2 is a brilliant strategy game placed in ancient Japan. Oda Nobunaga was a daymio with a single goal; to unite Japan under his rule. Something he almost managed to do as well, but now KOEI has given you the chance to do what one of the most powerful warlords throughout history never accomplished.
I think this is my favourite of all the old strategy games made by KOEI, there is just so much that you can do in this game. First of all you get to choose between 38 different daymio's, each one with a different starting position and power. Then you have the rich political aspect to the game, from recruiting more soldiers to bribe enemy generals. If you don't treat your loyal soldiers good, they might suddenly prove to be not so loyal anymore. Your enemies are constantly trying to buy your generals, and are also spreading negative propaganda about you, making it harder for you to hire new ones. Of course, you are allowed to do the same by sending spies into foreign regions and tear them down from within.
Then we have the actual fighting. The best way to fight is to use the numpad in combination with numeric commands, and to use large amounts of strategy, of course. When attacking a region, you will first try to break down the defences outside of a city, then move on to infiltrating the castle and kill or capture the enemy generals. Avery label template for mac. If you are so lucky to capture any generals, you have different things you can do to them. You may either behead them (to set an example to your enemies), employ them as generals under your command (easy and cheap labour), or you can let them go.
All in all Nobunaga's Ambition 2 is a well-balanced strategy game that is fairly easy to learn, and a game that can be played again and again. You haven't really completed the game before you have completed it with each of the 38 different daymio's, and that is a long time into the future. Xeoma 18 7 10. Truly recommended.
The game supports multiplayer up to 4 players.
This sequel to Nobunaga's Ambition is to its predecessor what Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2 is to RTK 1: better graphics and sound, but almost identical gameplay. The AI has been improve somewhat in this incarnation, as taking over cities and espionage acts are more difficult to achieve. The biggest improvement over the original is the tactical battle mode: there are now many more attack options and realistic factors, e.g. fire arrows are much less effective in rainy weather, and naval battles are now more important. Personal statistics of major personage have also been adjusted to less god-like levels, so winning as a custom character or lesser known warlords is not as impossible a task as in the first game. Overall, if you like the first game, you'll definitely love this sequel. Yet another solid strategy / war hybrid from KOEI. Highly recommended!

Nobunaga's Ambition is another solid Koei historical Simulation, but compared to the company's existing games it's by no means ambitious.
An Ode to Oda
Nobunaga's is based on the 100-year effort of various Japanese warlords, or 'Daimyos' (the most famous being Oda Nobunaga), to unite hundreds-of warring feudal states in ancient Japan. The game's four scenarios begin from 1467 to 1600.
ProTips:
- During battles, Ay to deploy your units to surround and 'double-team' individual enemy units.
- Build up your army as quickly as possible, especially during the volatile Scenario 1 Battle for the East.
- Train troops often. It costs only a turn, and builds battle stamina.
This game's great for brainiac number-crunchers, which makes it an acquired taste for everyone else. You pick a state and then 'build' a Daimyo by randomly generating five character values. You must enrich the economic base of your territory in order to build an army and conquer your neighbors. Of course, other, more powerful Daimyos' are after your assets, too.
Veteran Koei samurai know that you'd better have a head for numbers! The game tallies everything, including soldiers, gold, rice, loyalty and even productivity potential. As the digits rise and fall, so does your empire.
At least the swift computer blows the doors off other Koei games in terms of speed. However, Nobunaga's still requires a major time commitment. Games can span 40 years, and unlike other Koei games, you basically make one move per category per turn.
You use an efficient menu- driven, point-and-click interface to run your statefrom four main menus-4 Military, ,D9mestic, Diplomatic, and Control (which manages vassal states). The individual options are too numerous to list, but among your activities you can deploy Ninjas to trash enemy states, propose a strategic marriage, sell rice for profit, and even take out a loan.
When it's time for war, Nobunaga's becomes an entertaining game of strategy and tactics. Cone are the cartoony, hokey graphics. Instead, you get an excellent grid combat system, where you merely maneuver icons representing five military units. Since every state features different terrain, you must plan attacks and defenses according to-the geography.
Nobunaga No-Nos
The graphics and sounds are in the Koei tradition: sparse but sharp. However, Nobunaga's contains even less animation and fewer graphics than usual. The sounds are similarly lean, dominated by crystal clear but repetitive Asian- sounding music.
