Description: 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.

Strategically, Takeda 3 combines some basic resource management with a substantial number of historically specific concerns that need addressing. Each of the 25 clans in the game owns one or more castles, which represent not only the fortifications proper, but the surrounding farmlands and towns. The lands owned by your clan produce rice, which acts as both army supplies and the basic building blocks for most structures; gold, which can be used to purchase special items, hire ninjas and bribe the emperor; and sometimes teppo, which are Portuguese muskets. Your castles also produce various kinds of troops, based on the structures you have built. Managing these things is not too difficult, though as time progresses, your need for teppo will begin to outstrip your ability to acquire them. The historical aspects of the game include various real clans and people. It also involves historically accurate setups for each of its three scenarios, not unlike Europa Universalis 3: In Nomine, meaning that the difficulty of the game is as much influenced by the settings as it is by which clan you choose to play.
