Here, in front of the Strategy map, you can view the entire Japanese nation and

plan your conquest at your leisure. It is central to Full Campaign mode and is

where you issue orders, commission the construction of buildings, order the

training of your warriors and direct your units to mobilise for battle or

missions.

This is your war room and your meeting room, where you must manage your

economy and organise your dealings with rival Daimyo through diplomacy, or

espionage and assassination. To understand the nature of your undertaking,

you must first familiarise yourself with the resources at your disposal as well as

the concepts of creating a mighty clan.

The onscreen prompts alert you to any important events that must take

place in your Throne Room – see View the Throne Room section on p.26

for further information.

The standard unit of

currency in 16th

Century Japan. Literally,

the amount of rice

needed to feed one man

for one year. It is the

measure of the value of

all commodities and is the single most important resource in Feudal Japan. Each

province provides an income (paid each Winter) to the Daimyo controlling it.

Clearly then, areas with a high koku yield are more desirable territories than

those with a low koku yield.

Without an income of koku, a Daimyo is powerless to train men, construct

buildings or maintain his clan forces so the need to control land and the bounty

it brings forth is immediately apparent.
