If you successfully invade a province with

a castle garrisoning troops then the

defenders can hold out inside the

fortifications and prepare themselves for

a siege. The attacker and defender have a

number of options.

Siege: Don’t attack the castle. Each turn that the defenders stay besieged
in the castle they will lose a number of men to famine and disease.

Storm the castle: Attack the castle and fight on the Castle battlefield.
Move your units onto the castle to activate this function.

Siege: The defender can attempt to hold out against the attacking army.

Note: It is not possible to build or train while under siege and neither side gets
any income from the province while it is in turmoil.

Break Siege: The defender can choose to charge out of the castle and
attack the attackers in a field battle trying to drive them from the

province. Move your armies from your Castle onto the province to break

the siege.

Note: If a defender loses a castle battle they will suffer 100% casualties, as there
is no route of escape or retreat. However, the defender may bring in additional

troops from neighbouring provinces to help break the siege.

3. Once you have been notified of any events of note, you proceed to Battle

Mode to fight it out in real-time.

Taking your Daimyo into battle will inspire units to fight with more

intensity, but there is a risk that he can be killed. If your Daimyo is killed

and has no heirs, then your Clan will be without a leader and will break

down – the game is over.

Whilst it may seem sensible to speed the passage of time

to build up your treasury’s koku reserves, this is not the

path of a wise man. You should manage each of your

provinces and ensure that, each turn, you do all you can

to speed yourself along the path to total domination.

When you are finished with your decision-making, click the END TURN

icon.

Note: Once you have clicked END TURN, any orders you made cannot be
cancelled.

The Scenic tour enables you to view the troop movements in adjacent enemy

provinces in the previous turn. It is very useful for gauging the military climate

and intent as well as highlighting the course of other Daimyo’s respective

fortunes.
