The game takes place on a large or huge map. You are a simple samauri with a small following of villagers, a few buildings, and a few men-at-arms. You are then presented with a variety of choices: you may choose to ally with and serve Daimyo A (a peace-loving internationalist) or maybe Daimyo B (a militant patriot) or perhaps go on by yourself and form your own ties with other small samauri (who begin in a similiar state It'll take a lot of time and may end up being far better with the X-pac, so I'm not sure if it'll be worth it to try to make it now... What do you think? Thanks
