Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Sengoku is a Real-Time Strategy 4X game created and published in 2011 by Paradox Interactive.The player assumes the role of a Japanese clan leader during the Sengoku Period, with the starting date being either right after the start of the Ōnin War of 1467, or Oda Nobunaga's rise to clan leadership at 1551. Similar to Crusader Kings, Sengoku focuses on individual characters rather than abstract governments, and finding wives for your sons, producing heirs and pleasing your lord or vassals is as important as conquering lands and constructing buildings. It is not uncommon to see a so-far successful clan tearing itself apart because of a succession crisis, and if your clan leader dies without a direct male heir, it's game over.In addition to the standard currency (which is used to construct certain buildings and hire soldiers for a leader's retinue), each character has a certain amount of honor. Honor can be gained by donating money to the emperor, granting titles to your vassals and through certain character traits. In turn, honor is spent by hatching plots, declaring wars and other “shameful” tasks. If a character's honor gets too low, his liege might order him to commit seppuku, so maintaining your honor is sometimes even more important than being rich or powerful.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })While the game shies away from historical Event flags, some historical events like the Ikkō-ikki rebellions or the Portuguese and Dutch landing in Japan are bound to happen in every game. Other then that, the game itself is basically a large sandbox with an overarching mission to control 50% of Japan, then convince the emperor to grant you the title of Shogun.Not to be confused with any of these games, or this manga. Can be seen as a Spiritual Licensee to Koei's Taikou Risshiden series.

Big, Screwed-Up Family: Be ruthless in your conquest, fruitful in the bedchamber and generous to your cousins and you'll most likely end up with half of your lands being ruled by uncles and other relatives. Of course, intermarriage and rebellions are usually soon to follow.

A Child Shall Lead Them: Possible if a clan leader dies before his heir turns sixteen. This is especially dangerous since vassals are less likely to follow an underage leader and he can lose control of the clan in favor of a pretender.

We Have Reserves
 Sengoku (Video Game) / int_61c683d2
comment
We Have Reserves: Since armies are mostly made out of levies, it is sometimes useful to send them to their death, disband whomever was left alive, wait a couple of weeks and raise them again at full strength. The base manpower for levies never decreases so you can never get to a point where levies stop regenerating, as would normally be the case in other Paradox strategy games. There is also no visible "manpower" number for standing armies (retinues), like in other Paradox strategy games, so in theory nobody can ever run out of professional soldiers as long as they have the gold to pay for recruiting and upkeep.

Video Game Geography
 Sengoku (Video Game) / int_6abc1994
comment
Video Game Geography: For some reason the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido is missing from the game. Japan also seems to float in the middle of the ocean as both Korea and China are not present on the game's map. This was done to keep the game focused on conquering Japan, not expanding elsewhere. Hokkaido in particular was omitted because Japan didn't begin colonizing it until late in the game's timeframe, so it seemed like an unnecessary mechanic for one area.

Cosmetically Different Sides: Gameplay is almost identical no matter which dynasty you choose to play. The only difference is whether you choose a clan leader (in which case you have to fight other clans) or a minor ruler (in which case you're usually more concerned about plotting to form your own clan).
