Sengoku Jidai Korea and China Factions preview!

Posted: 6 MAY 2016

Ming Chinese armies were formed around the Wei-suo tradition where military service was an inherited profession. This ensured the availability of a standing army accessible by the Empire at all times, but as Chinese society embraced Confucian values that shunned wars, soldiers were seen as second class citizens. Training camps and military campaigns were run by civilian bureaucrats (scholars) instead of experienced generals. This led to mismanagement of military resources and low morale. Despite all this, the Ming army was still a viable fighting force and was active in quelling rebellions, protecting the borders and fighting pirates with varying degrees of success.

Sengoku Jidai: Shadow of the Shogun Teaser revealed & release date announced!

Posted: 8 APR 2016

Japan, in the second half of the 16th century.  

For two hundred years the central power of the Ashikaga Shogunate has been progressively eroded by rebellious local daimyo. Decades of struggles among the warlords have divided the country and now they verge upon open war.

With the succession to the shogunate in doubt and a nation in economic distress, it is a time of reckoning for the noble families and their retainers, the Samurai.

This is the time of great and ambitious lords, a time of honour and betrayal. This is the time of the nation at war.

This is the Sengoku Jidai!
