New game coming from Paradox based on Japan's Sengoku period.

This one looks interesting.

Yep, should offer a bit more rewarding strategy play than, say, Total War. :yep:

Then again, post M2TW stabbing yourself in the foot would offer a more rewarding strategy play then Total War. :O:

I'll probably end up getting it eventually (when it comes out) but I'm not that interested in Asian History so will probably end up sticking to Crusader Kings.

Not to say Total War is a bad thing, it just has the focus somewhere else. The highlight there are the 3D battles, while Paradox titles offer far more in-depth economy and diplomacy.

Curious to see more of it, I actually do have an interest in that setting.

Sengoku is, according to Paradox’s aptly-named strategy producer Chris King, somewhere between the most recent iterations of Europa Universalis (from which it derives much of its warfare system) and Crusader Kings 2, where its map and diplomacy gubbins find their origin. (It is much closer to Crusader King 2, of course.) The plan isn’t simply to collide these two big history games together and then paint the resulting entanglement in the colours of Japan, but to build on them with something resembling the way feudalism might have worked during the Sengoku period. So it’s a Japanese-styled game ecology layered lovingly across a Crusader Kings backbone, and includes things like having your children taken hostage by more powerful clans to force you to adhere to their plans for vassal-choking domination. Could be rather good!

Wot I Think: Sengoku
Not exactly overly positive, though it should be noted the reviewer doesn't have a particular interest in the setting.

I've played it a bit, its not bad, a bit war centric for my tastes though.

Ive only done it once myself but this is apparently THE paradox game for multiplayer since its rather fast paced.
