Version Notes| +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ 1.00: June 2008 - My initial release. All daimyo and starting samurai are included. Have only notated a handful of post-startup ronin and samurai. 1.01: July 2008 - Tiny update of the website permissions. +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ |III. Game Introduction| +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ “In Nobunaga’s Ambition II, you embark on an epic quest to unify Japan. As a Daimyo (warlord) vying for power and territory, you’ll command vast armies of Samurai (warriors); defend yourself against ninja assassins; lay siege against mighty fortresses; negotiate alliances; and confront your enemies in deadly combat. But in order to conquer Japan, you must be vigilant with internal affairs as well as in war. To keep your vassals content, and thus avoid being overthrown, you’ll reclaim farmland, build water works, expand towns and attract merchants. And when emergencies such as typhoons, epidemics or famine arise, you’ll have to react quickly to rescue your people, or lace their rebellion!” {1} A note about names: being an historically-based strategy game, the names of daimyo and samurai are in the traditional Japanese format of family name then given name. Instead of John Doe, which is in the western format of first (given) name then last (family) name, the name is Doe John. This format is why you will see many names that “begin” the same – many daimyos have family members (sons, brothers, uncles, etc.) under their command. +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ |IV. Basic Game Controls| +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ A Button - Select an option or unit B Button - Cancels a selection or goes back one menu (not all choices can be backed out of, so save often and choose wisely), from the main fief menu it will pull up the map Select - No effect in menu Start - No effect in menu D-Pad - Select some options (Y/N); move through menus and around the map +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ |V. Statistics 101| +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ Age: Starting ages are based on historical fact, and natural lifespans will be similar – meaning if a daimyo died of illness or “old” age at 47, he is likely to do the same in the game. Conversely, daimyo and samurai who died young in battle historically may live to a ripe old age in your game. Increases automatically every March. Maximum of 99. Political Influence: Skill with internal affairs and diplomatic missions. Can be increased through training. Maximum of 100. War Ability: Skill with combat and strategy. Can be increased through training. Maximum of 100. Charisma: The ability to charm and influence others. Aids in recruiting samurai and diplomacy. Maximum of 100. Ambition: Desire for expansion. A daimyo with a high ambition will be more likely to attack others, while a samurai with a high ambition will be more likely to start a civil war. Every fief won will increase Ambition, every fief lost will cause it to drop. Maximum of 100. Loyalty: The loyalty of a samurai to his daimyo. Daimyo lack a number for obvious reasons. Samurai with little loyalty to their lord will be more likely to join another lord if asked, rise up against you in civil war, or swap to the enemy’s side in battle. This can be increased through rewards. Maximum of 100. Number of Men: Soldiers under a samurai’s command. They can be hired and reassigned. Maximum of 100. Soldiers’ Skill Level: The training level of the soldiers – well-trained men are more effective in combat. As new men are hired, the training level will decrease, and reassigning men from another samurai will raise or lower the training level depending on the skill of the men being merged. Maximum of 100. Soldiers’ Arms Level: How well armed your soldiers are – well-armed men are more effective in combat. Arms are bought from traveling merchants. Freshly hired men will decrease the arms level, as more men will be sharing fewer weapons. Maximum of 100. Unit Type: Cavalry, Infantry, or Rifle. This is pre-determined by history. +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ |VI. Samurai Statistics - Warlord Ambition| +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ Some samurai are introduced to the game after the start of gameplay; I am notating when they came of age, or which daimyo they approached as ronin and when, as I find them. I include the wording “may approach”, as not all ronin moves are set in stone at the beginning of the game. Some of ronin I indicate as asking to join one daimyo may ask to join another, and at another time, under different game circumstances. Events that I have confirmed as constant through more than one playthrough are stated as “will approach”. Samurai coming of age are fixed events, and are stated as such. Starting loyalty for ronin will vary from game to game, so I have indicated such in their statistics. Ages listed for ronin and future samurai are for the start of the game, not their age when they join their daimyo’s forces.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ |VII. Samurai Statistics - Nobunaga's Ambition| +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ Some samurai are introduced to the game after the start of gameplay; I am notating when they came of age, or which daimyo they approached as ronin and when, as I find them. I include the wording “may approach”, as not all ronin moves are set in stone at the beginning of the game. Some of ronin I indicate as asking to join one daimyo may ask to join another, and at another time, under different game circumstances. Events that I have confirmed as constant through more than one playthrough are stated as “will approach”. Samurai coming of age are fixed events, and are stated as such. Starting loyalty for ronin will vary from game to game, so I have indicated such in their statistics. Ages listed for ronin and future samurai are for the start of the game, not their age when they join their daimyo’s forces.

Credits| +~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ {1} – Source: Koei, quoted without modification from the manual for the DOS version of Nobunaga’s Ambition II. While the gameplay and interface may be somewhat different (from what I can see in the manual), the general purpose of both versions of the game is identical, and who better to explain the purpose of a game than its creators? I couldn’t summarize it much better than they have. Thanks to GameFAQs for hosting this guide, providing a place to read/write/talk about video games, and providing some of the trademark and copyright notice language. +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ |IX. Contact Information| +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ A few comments for anyone considering emailing me: - I haven’t played the PC version of this game (yet), so if you’re looking for help with something that is different from the information featured here, I may not be able to help you. I DO intend on playing the PC version of Nobunaga’s Ambition II, and will update or submit a modified version of this guide appropriate for PC gamers when I can. I’m going to be a college student soon, so “when I can” should be interpreted loosely and generously. - I will welcome CONSTRUCTIVE feedback. If you just want to insult me, you’ll be blocked as spam. - I’m a bit of a stickler for spelling and grammar, but spellchecking hundreds of Japanese names made even my eyes glaze over. If you find an error, please let me know. Now, if you: - have a question about the game (at least until I complete my guide), - have found an error and would like to let me know, - have found information that I haven't, or haven't gotten to, and would like me to include it in my next update (giving you full and prominent acknowledgement, of course!), OR - would like to use some of my material in a guide of your own/on your website (assuming you meet the criteria included in the Copyright Notice) then just email me with Nobunaga's Ambition II in the subject line. I'll try to respond in a timely fashion, but don't expect an immediate response, or get impatient and send the same question over and over until you get a response. Nagging is liable to result in your emails being handled as spam. email: otakuluna(at)gmail.com Copyright 2008 Candice B. "otaku_luna"
