Experience the moments that lead up to the fracture of Japan - from the establishment of clans to the emergence of the first Shogunate. 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. The Sengoku Era was a period where regional lords fiercely fought for supremacy, to claim dominance and unite the lands. Players will have to exploit a wide breadth of tactical options to create fresh strategies that allow new ways to gain an advantage over the opponent. Strategies do not only focus on the Military Campaigns, but also on managing the Production Facilities and Trade Routes to continuously expand territory and increase the strength of the army. These elements are further enhanced through the introduction of the Resolve System; where each officer has their own set of aspirations that will depict how they will act in a given situation and gameplay will change accordingly, with new tactics needed to accommodate opposing or similar viewpoints. With the Resolve System officers will be showcase a more human and personal feel, providing players a deeper insight into the historical simulation the series is renowned for. In Nobunaga's Ambition: Taishi, players are able to step in the shoes of their favourite officer or lord and increase their clan's influence in Japan. For players to successfully rule and conquer the land they will have to utilise a range of strategic options, including one of the newest features introduced to the series in Taishi: The Resolve System. Each move will have to be considered by the player, as the system introduces a set of aspirations - all of which decide how an officer will act in a given situation; Shingen Takeda, the head of the Takeda clan, has the resolve "Law of Kai" which focuses on the idea that everyone should be treated equally in every situation. Achieving an officer's ambitions will prove worthwhile as it will unlock bonuses, such as increased gold or attack damage, to assist in the campaign. To complement the addition of the Resolve System, the Council System has been augmented to allow each attending officer the option to approve new policies. This could create situations with an officer having their own set of aspirations, and this belief will influence their decision to agree or disagree with the mentioned policies. An abundance of battle tactics can be utilised in Nobunaga's Ambition: Taishi, allowing players to choose the best strategy to overthrow enemy units.
