Takeda 3 is the latest in the Takeda series of games, based on the
life and times of famous 16th century Samurai Lord, Takeda Shingen.
In Takeda 3, you take command of the powerful Daimyo (feudal lord)
of one of 25 historical clans of feudal Japan; engaging in
diplomacy, managing your castles and territory, and commanding your
armies in combat.

Takeda 3 has two main modes. The first is the turn-based world
mode, where diplomatic and strategic operations happen. From world
mode, you can click on a castle to construct new facilities such as
barracks, markets, and farms. You can also create armies and send
them out to do battle. From the palace screen, you can propose and
break alliances with the other clans of Sengoku Japan. You can
also send your ninjas out on secret missions to disrupt or
assassinate your enemies.

You will also need to take good care of your characters—the
retainers who command your troops and run your castles. Each of
them will gain in ability with experience, and has his or her own
motivations and ambitions. You can reward them with medals,
titles, or special items to ensure their loyalty and happiness.

The second mode is the real-time battle mode. Whenever two armies
meet in world mode, you will have the option of playing out the
encounter on a real-time, 3D battlefield, complete with terrain and
weather effects, powerful army formations, and emotional effects
like the morale and fatigue of your soldiers and the chain of
command. Before going into the battle itself, you will use a
tactical screen to set up your army formation, choose the time of
attack, and set up detachments to make surprise attacks on your
enemy’s headquarters. When the battle begins, you can select your
divisions and send them into combat.

Be sure to use the advantages of each of the five soldier types:
spearmen are good at stopping cavalry, swordsmen are good at
defeating spearmen, and cavalry can trample swordsmen in brutal
charges. You also have archers, who are effective in castle sieges
and for supporting your other divisions, and teppo (riflemen), who
are extremely effective against cavalry as well as the other unit
types, but aren’t very good at close range.

With effective planning and tactics in world and battle mode, you
can defend your territory, defeat your enemies, and eventually rise
to the rank of Shogun—military protector of all Japan! Welcome to
Takeda 3!
