    i thought this game was great you dont have to go with the whole historical aspect of the game and the gameplay is deeply involving you have to take control of everyhting from diplomacy to technology to military hence the iron triangle. and when your attacking a castle when holding of 4 other clans it is really exciting the graphics arent the greatest but they focus more on strategy and i thought this game was great you dont have to go with the whole historical aspect of the game and the gameplay is deeply involving you have to take control of everyhting from diplomacy to technology to military hence the iron triangle. and when your attacking a castle when holding of 4 other clans it is really exciting the graphics arent the greatest but they focus more on strategy and control than a beautiful front also the unifacation alone could take a month to complete and it was fun and challenging the whole way through theres more than just building immense amount of troops and sending them to burn cities to the ground the ai is actually quite intelligent not seen in many rts games ive played if you get to big and have no allies they will all team against you and you had better be prepard they dont just mindlesly attack they find your weak spots and advance in enemy lines its great to play an actually challenging game of skill you woory about snow storms and floods and plagues and you hire officers for your armies and towns and have to treat them well as in pay raises or if you want to be a tyrant you can cut there heads off haha this game has so much to offer if you are looking for an actual strategy game not just building an army of thousands and sending them mindlessly to war then definetly pick this one up if you just want a beautiful action packed war game you might want to skip it but this game is definetly worht buying youll play it for months.

  1. Nobunaga's Ambition: Iron Triangle is for the hardcore gamer willing to take on all strategy games, not just mainstream hits.
  2. We were amazed at how much time the game swallowed, meaning time was flying, meaning, well, we all know what that means.

    Nothing revolutionary, no, and more than a little familiar to fans of the series, but still very, very good.
