thanks.Ironically, grinding to get your units to be numerically better is the exact wrong way to play Sengoku, which is very counter-intuitive. AI scales based off your own unit numbers (for the most part), so it can actually pay to delete all of the soldiers in a poor combat unit and just have it do various non-battle tasks instead of fielding a bunch of 500 man, but poor stat, units. The better idea is to train the stats of good units (ie, by go into dungeons to get treasures, do the H scenes and various tasks that pop up in the provinces), and to get the combat books from the province tax events. You do want your big units to have large numbers (at the beginning of the game, Rance, Ranmaru, and Katsuie will do you fine), but having 500~ soldiers or so is more than good enough for the vast majority of early game battles. Anything more than that gets diminishing returns, imho.
Yeah, going in blind can be a little rough. Alicesoft games tend to be very guide-y, and Sengoku is still of an era where you need to be glued to one to really excel. It's nowhere near as bad as Big Bang Age, but it's still an old game. UI could definitely be better too, it hides a bunch of stuff behind events that are be missed. Leveling up units from dungeons is a Suzume event in the first or second dungeon you go into, though on the normal difficulty you don't need to min-max when you do dungeons. The Gourd countries are in the system info button, once a certain number of gourds are broken you enter into the endgame after a bit. Gourds are broken from conquering the associated country, it being defeated via event, or waiting a really long time.thanks.
And that s an other issue with the game. The UI feedback is horrible. You can't tell the level or stats of your units or the ennemy ones during battle, I don't know which countries are gourd ones, I didn't know you could get books from taxes (I thought it was just a deal to get more money at the cost of unrest to manage later on), etc...
It s just poor design overall.
Doesn't change that the game has many options to fiddle with from what I've read on the wiki, just that if you go in blind, it is a very poor experience, and even when you've read a bit, it is still an uneven slow drag. Especially once you get ennemies who can attack you multiple times per turn...
I'm fairly sure you just need to sit through it once, like a lot of games in the 2000s. When I boot up my copy, it takes like, 5 seconds to go through all the opening stuff with the dancing Alice mascot, and you can just skip those by clicking on it. Is it playing the game trailer or something?Is there any way to skip the opening sequence?
It is obnoxiously long and none of the buttons on my keyboard do anything and I definitely don't want to deal with this crap every time I launch the game.
I started writing this after waiting for like, a solid minute for the intro to finish and I finished this before the intro finished itself!
It plays the whole opening movie, which is like, 2 to 3 minutes long and nothing I click or press skips it.I'm fairly sure you just need to sit through it once, like a lot of games in the 2000s.

Just one character, and her scenes are both limited and optional.what is the futa content like? is it just a one off scene or anything more?
I believe there was a trick to the Takada blitz. I don't recall what it was, but I think if you attack at a certain point they kind of fall apart. It's about timing your attack. As you said, when they bliz don't waste your troops attacking them. There's a certain point to attack when they're vulnerable and it should be clear if you read the dialogue. I believe they're also more vulnerable early game than late game.Yeah, going in blind can be a little rough.

Luckily, you can increase the battle speeds and really zoom through the early game. I restarted twice on my first playthrough, I think? Since then I've beat the game on all difficulties but the last and unlocked basically everything/done every route. I'd advise to take it slow and do events and dungeons as they pop up, and recruit prisoners you find if they have decent stats/are unique. Doing character events can raise Rance's satisfaction, which I would make a priority.
In particular, you can get another action fan from Rance's satisfaction bonus once he's at 50 sat, which really makes things easier. Besides the foreign reinforcements, that's by far the best reason to focus down on getting Rance laid as much as possible.
Also, you don't lose a province until its last area is defeated, so if you're being attacked a lot, just let them take some land and just focus on taking them over instead. The Takada blitz is very hard to beat even if you're experienced in the game, so it's usually better to just weather the storm and not bother properly fighting it the first time.
However, at the end she/he chooses to become a guy or a girl. She's/he's not a futa anymore. She's/he's supposed to be a mutant. I always got the impression she is a girl with a penis. Her arms are small and she has feminine hips, buttocks, legs. Her face and haircut are also very feminine. The content isn't very much at all and I'm not certain you can access it in the first playthrough. I believe there is a scene where she has sex with her friends before turning into a girl or guy near the end. That's the only thing I recall, but it's been a while since I was able to see it.Just one character, and her scenes are both limited and optional.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.

they do tell you which ones have gourds its just not where you expect it to be.thanks.
I don't know which countries are gourd ones,
NG+ only for all of the ones except for Tourin. You need to do the eventi cant remember what you had to do to recruit the bird rider faction guys. is it newgame+ only or can i clear it on the first run?
All of the reinforcements are different in Dai Sengoku, that's why. You aren't doing anything weird, they are just different in this version of the game.Anyone who's played Dai Sengoku know why I can't get the normal wave of Leazas commanders?
