Strategy
So let’s talk Strategy. Strategy Cards that is. Strategy Cards allow you to affect the game in myriad ways to bring your Clan closer to victory. Each Clan has unique Strategy Cards that can be played at various times for varying effects. Strategy Cards cost koku to draw, so you do have to give up some potential military resources for the turn to gain them.
Here is an example of some Strategy Cards being played to full effect. Assume the following:
4 players - Lion, Crane, Unicorn, and Crab.
The Lion player won the Imperial Favor for the round, thus granting him Initiative.
The Lion has just attacked a Unicorn Province adjacent to a Crab Province.
When the battle begins, players have an opportunity to play Strategy Cards. First the Lion, who has initiative chooses to play Lion’s Charge, to give all his units in the battle First Strike in an attempt to wipe out Unicorn opposition before they can retaliate.
Next, the Crane player decides that the Crab player has forces just a little too close to his border, and responds with Proposal of Peace, targeting the Lion in the Unicorn Province! The Crane choose to move the Lion forces to the adjacent Crab Province, where they will now have First Strike against the Crab forces.
Of course, the Crab doesn’t like this at all, and responds with a little Crab Diplomacy, causing the Lion to stay right where they are.
That’s just a small sample of what can happen in an Art of War battle. Check again soon for updates on the various types military units, the Imperial Favor, hostage exchanges, and more!
Desde mi punto de vista a mi me parece una "nueva version" del Shogun de MB, es decir, risk+samurais, y el añadido de las cartas-tacticas muy acorde al juego del que proviene....
Tocara esperar y ver...esperemos que no sea un Samurai&Katana
Pd: Si alguien necesita algo de explicacion sobre la ambientacion, sobre la parte de "strategy" o lo que sea, que no dude en preguntar, soy un veterano rokugani
