Quick notes
- Choose a position as well as a bonus. Clans share many units, but their starting geography changes the first campaign.
- Inspect the other clan options. The base Sengoku roster includes different economic, religious and political advantages.
- Use the bonus without distorting the army. A cavalry-focused Takeda army still needs infantry and ranged support.
- Keep campaign eras separate. Rise of the Samurai uses the earlier Gempei era, and Fall of the Samurai uses nineteenth-century forces.
Useful tip
Rise of the Samurai uses the earlier Gempei era, and Fall of the Samurai uses nineteenth-century forces. Their clans and gunpowder systems cannot be read directly from these Sengoku tables.
