Sengoku Jidai
Situation

Sengoku Jidai

sengoku

It is a time of upheaval. The central authority of the Japanese Shogunate Leader Title has waned, and his/her power to control the different clans diminished. Fueled by their own conflicts, the clans have increased their autonomy and independence, and have become masters of their own territory. Japan will be engulfed in war unless someone is powerful enough to grab the reins of government once again...

The Sengoku Jidai is a Situation that engulfs Japan in near constant war. Clans fight for supremacy while the Shōgun struggles to maintain control over the country.

Recommended Actions:
Wage war with the unique Sengoku Jidai Casus Belli to expand your Clan.
As Shōgun, use Revoke Land to weaken overgrown Clans and Limit Clan's Autonomy to turn them into a Building Based Country.
If you are a Building Based Country, you may proclaim independence and become a Land Based Country with Proclaim Clan Independence.

Extra Hints:
The balance of power shifts constantly. Look for opportunities to strike weakened Clans.
As Shōgun, consolidating control early will make unifying Japan much easier.
Small Clans can benefit by playing larger rivals against one another until the right moment to break free.
