At any time during this phase, the player can also recruit from the dungeon or open the troop recruitment and item distribution menus with no fan cost.These can be used to trigger character events, attack enemy countries or for some other territory/character development options. The player has a certain number of actions represented by Action Fans at the top left of the screen.

Some important events, such as recruiting key characters, can be low priority. These events have priorities that are usually based on plot importance. Units that did not participate in battles in the previous turn will also recover some of their units.Īt the beginning of your turn, an event will play. See the requirements to do so in Satisfaction Bonuses.Ī typical turn in Sengoku Rance includes the following phases:īefore your actual turn begins, you will have several notes scrolling along the bottom of the screen, such as your income for this turn. One of the main objectives of the early game is to increase your Action Fans. Action Fans will be replenished whenever you start a turn You can end your turn at any time, but you will only want to do so after using all your Action Fans. See more on Gourdes and routes.Īlmost all actions, with exception a few (recruiting prisoners, using funds to heals troops, etc.), require the use of 1 'Action Fan', and other actions will use up all Action Fans (for example, finding Kouhime when she goes missing). After breaking 5 gourds, you will be forced to enter a route and in First Games, this will always be the True route. Gourds are one of the key elements to the story progression. You can also focus on character events and upgrades or on increasing your national power and income, but you can find yourself without the characters you need to defeat the game if you wait around too long without conquering other factions. The speed of your conquest doesn't matter so much. Story events can also cause enemy countries declare war on you. To attack another house, you will need to declare war on another house before attacking. There are events designed to force you into war with other houses if you remain at peace for far too long. The game encourages you to be in a permanent state of war.However, fighting and defeating enemy factions is almost always the way to progress the main plot. Sengoku Rance is plot based, so you are not required to conquer all other factions to win the game. 3.1.1 Command requires too many points (item searches, declaring war, prison recruitment).2.1 Commanders refresh at the start of their faction's turn.
