You can select units from the Review Panel when either a castle or army is

selected.

•

Click on the unit/s in the Review Panel. Then drag the selected unit/s
directly into the province or onto another army or castle in the same

province. 

•

Dragging units into a castle garrisons the castle.

Note: To de-select a unit from the group, click the unit again.

Create a large army from two or more smaller armies.

•

Drag one army piece and drop it on another army piece and the two

units are merged.

•

The maximum number of units your can merge together is 16 units.

Note: The units must have occupied the same province for one turn before
they can merge.

If two or more units have suffered great losses, you can merge the units

together. However, they won't merge, if they exceed the maximum unit size (See

Performance Options on p.71).

•

To merge units, click the unit on the Review Panel and drag it onto the

unit you are merging it with.

Once you feel that the time is right for an attack on an enemy Daimyo’s

territory, you should do the following.

1. Click and drag your troops into the province you wish to conquer. An

event pop-up appears, allowing you to confirm whether you wish to wage

war against this Daimyo.

Note: No pop-up is shown if you are already at war.

2. Then, if you have completed all your actions this season, click the END

TURN icon.

The Throne Room is where you automatically go each time an

emissary or other visitor is granted an audience by you.

•

To cut short a visitor’s speech and go straight to making a decision, press
SPACEBAR.

When the time is right, you should begin your campaign of Total Warfare.

Mobilising your armies takes the battle to other Daimyo’s territory and could

leave your own provinces relatively peaceful – for now, at least.

Crucial to your aim of becoming Shogun is the organisation and mobilisation of

your trained units. Promoting a general allows the honoured individual to head

up a mobile unit of your trusted soldiers. This is the only way units can leave a

garrison in the province where they were trained to assist you in the conquest

of all Japan.

Tip: Split up large armies into smaller armies to expand into empty territory
more rapidly.

When you create an army, the general is contained within the first

unit chosen to create that army. To find which unit he is in, click the

army piece. Now, look at the Review Panel. The unit with a star is

the unit containing your general.
