## Strategy Guide Summary

### Beginner Tips
1. Start with Oda Nobunaga or Tokugawa Ieyasu — straightforward skills
2. Always keep at least 1 Dodge card in hand
3. In 3+ player games, observe others' play patterns to deduce identities
4. Don't waste Peach cards early — save for near-death situations
5. Use equipment cards strategically to extend attack range or reduce damage

### Intermediate Strategies
1. **Identity Deduction**: Watch who attacks whom; Rebels target the Lord, Loyalists protect
2. **Hand Management**: Never discard below 3 cards; maintain defensive options
3. **Skill Timing**: Use warlord skills at critical moments, not just whenever available
4. **Target Priority**: Focus fire on the most dangerous opponent, not spread damage

### Advanced Tactics
1. **Faction Synergies**: Some warlords work better together (e.g., Toyotomi support chain)
2. **Bluffing**: As a Rebel, sometimes protect the Lord early to avoid suspicion
3. **Resource Denial**: Use strategy cards to force opponents to discard key cards
4. **Endgame Calculation**: Count remaining cards and HP to plan final turns

## About Sengoku Battle

Sengoku Battle (戰國野望 / 戦国野望) is a free browser-based strategy card game developed by Lantu World. It is set in feudal Japan's Sengoku period (15th–17th century) and features 50 historical warlords drawn from real historical records.

### Game Background

The game was conceived as a way to bring the depth of strategy card games like Sanguosha (三國殺) to the rich historical setting of Japan's Warring States era. Development began with a focus on accessibility: the game runs entirely in a web browser with no downloads, no installation, and no pay-to-win mechanics. All 50 warlords are available to free players.

### Design Philosophy

Sengoku Battle is built around three core principles: **historical authenticity** (each warlord's skills are inspired by their real historical traits and battle records), **strategic depth** (the 3v3 role-based system creates complex social deduction and tactical decisions), and **accessibility** (browser-first, mobile-responsive, free-to-play).

### Version History

- **v1.0** (2025-12): Initial launch with 22 warlords and AI skirmish mode
- **v1.1** (2026-01): Added 15 new warlords, faction system, and equipment cards
- **v1.2** (2026-02): Miyamoto Musashi added; guide system and hero compendium launched
- **v1.3** (2026-03): PVP multiplayer, ranked ladder, and Season 1 "Tenmon no Ran" launched

### Developer

Lantu World is an independent game development studio focused on creating historically-grounded strategy games for a global audience. Sengoku Battle is their flagship title.
