The team at Koei Tecmo Games have shared a new trailer and batch of screenshots for their localisation of strategy / historical simulation game Nobunaga’s Ambition: Sphere of Influence. This new set of assets focus on Diplomacy, and how you can build yourself a strong nation.
Granted it can be a slow-burning process which couldn’t be considered as exhilaration as the heat of battle, diplomacy can not be ignored. One of the several applications of diplomacy involves forming relationships with nearby clans and tribes to prevent them from attacking you. On the other hand, a good relationship could also mean neighbouring tribes become allies in a time of crisis, or even assimilate into your clan – the latter increasing both your population and sphere of influence.
Additionally, diplomatic ties to the imperial court can lead to an increase in rank through the award of nobility titles. These titles can be acquired on behalf of the clan lord, or passed on by the lord to subordinate officer to increase their loyalty and have a multitude of benefits including increase of influence and decrease in cost for various diplomatic actions.
Developed for the PlayStation 4 (Retail / Digital), PlayStation 3 (Digital) and PlayStation Vita (Digital), Nobunaga’s Ambition: Sphere of Influence is set for release on September 4 2015.
