Nobunaga’s Ambition: Sphere of Influence – Ascension is coming to PS4 and Steam on 28 October 2016! http://www.koeitecmoeurope.com/ascension

Nobunaga’s Ambition: Sphere of Influence – Ascension highlights some of the most epic battles and notable events of Sengoku Era Japan, when myriads of military officers and lords fought for domination over the land. Players will be able to experience all the events that led from the fracture of the country to the establishments of clans and the forming of alliances before the inevitable clash that led to the emergence of the first Shogunate. Allowing for deeper immersion and insight into these events as well as providing a closer look at the development of strongholds and armies, Ascension provides players with the extra option to begin the game from the position of an officer and ascend through the ranks to become an important warlord—perhaps even the overlord of Japan!

Nobunaga’s Ambition: Sphere of Influence – Ascension will also offer history aficionados the opportunity to experience that same era as a historically-accurate simulation game. Players will be able to take control of their favorite officers and lords, as Ascension boasts a massive array of over 2000 diverse characters to choose from. A number of well-known individuals will offer unique events and exclusive missions, with special attention given to Yukimura Sanada, the famous Japanese samurai whom many of his time heralded as the strongest warrior in Japan. Beginning his journey at the age of 16, players can follow the life of Yukimura and the challenges he faced during the Sengoku period until his eventual defeat at the Siege of Osaka.

Happy Birthday Nobunaga... or not...

For the longest time, people have accepted that Nobunaga was born in Nagoya Castle on the 12th day of the 5th month (June 23). While there are theories stating otherwise, this one is the most prominent.

Then some documents were discovered listing Nobunaga’s place of birth as Shobata Castle. The same document apparently also says that Nobunaga’s birthday is the 28th day of the 5th month (July 9).

The idea that Shobata Castle is Nobunaga’s birth place is beginning to become more widespread; museums and historical sites have gone ahead and edited some of the information on the displays. Still, people can’t seem to let go of the May 12/June 23 date just yet…

Kumamoto-jo

Kiyomasa passed on in 1611, and it is often speculated that Tokugawa Ieyasu arranged his death. Katô was a friend to Toyotomi Hideyori - Hideyoshi’s son - and this made him a potential stumbling block in Ieyasu’s plan to undermine this last threat to the Tokugawa shogunate. At the same time, a disease-the ‘Chinese pox’, as it was called-was making the rounds, and had already claimed a number of well-known lords (such as Honda Masanobu and Kuroda Kanbei). It is therefore difficult to even speculate on whether the disease provided the cause of Kiyomasa’s death or a cover-story for it. His son, Tadahiro (1597-1653) was later on accused of treason against the Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu and was banished-a possible clue to the fall of Katô Kiyomasa.

A ferocious fighter and often ruthless, Katô Kiyomasa was a warrior, nothing more, nothing less. He wrote to his followers later in his life that poetry and dancing were shameful pastimes for a samurai, and ordered anyone who found himself engaged in the latter to commit suicide. His cruelty and love of combat (for sport, he hunted tigers with a spear in Korea) earned him the nickname Kishokan, or, 'Devil General’.

Ii Naomasa's Armor

There was a replica of Ii Naomasa’s red armor at the Hamamatsu Castle.

The guide says that generals will make their armors bright and extravagant to make them easily noticeable. So when they did something great in battle, their lords can easily tell who it was and can present them with rewards (money, land, etc.)

This easily noticeable trait also let enemies tell them apart. For example, Naotora’s whole army wore red armor and were known to be strong. So when enemies spot them by their armors, the ones scared of them will back off.

A general’s full set of armor can weigh up to over 20 kg. A guide at the Sekigahara Exhibition at the Edo Tokyo Museum in Tokyo said that the soldiers of lower ranks usually have lighter armors. This is also used to show the determination and strength of the higher ranked generals.

[mitsunari]

Ii Naomasa’s premature death in 1602 has been widely blamed on the wound he received at Sekigahara. Naomasa was highly regarded by Tokugawa Ieyasu, so it is no surprise that his sons Naotsugu and Naotaka succeeded him in his service and title. However, Naotsugu managed to anger Tokugawa by refusing to take part in his campaign to reduce the Toyotomi clan stronghold at Osaka. Nonetheless, the Ii remained influential in Japanese politics throughout the Edo period.

Naomasa is often characterized as the opposite of Ieyasu’s other great general, Honda Tadakatsu. While both were fierce warriors of the Tokugawa, Tadakatsu survived countless battles without ever suffering an injury, while Naomasa is often depicted as enduring many battle wounds, but fighting through them.

Naomasa’s sets of armor are all preserved within Hikone Castle and are accessible for viewing. Hikone-jo was finished thanks to the stones from Sawayama Castle, Ishida Mitsunari’s stronghold that Naomasa ordered to be demolished.
