fucking hell

I forgot how fun this game was. Downloaded it this morning and played for 9 hours straight. My eyes hurt now

i had to use alice power for the first xavier fight
i feel like trash

How far did you get?

Fuck MG for bringing an already translated game. Pirate the hell out of it.

I really wanted to buy it, but after seeing the retarded """""""""translation""""""""" it got, I'm having second thoughts.

whats this about ninja attacks that's beneficial that i hear?

Shuriken cancel channeled attacked. Assassination can be good

no i meant the iga clan doing shit every turn

MUSTACHE
and then give him back his robot waifu ("gently" used)

what does mustache actually do? i just went with imprison

gives him a mustache, obviously

oh. They have a gourd but not really any good commanders so it's probably better to leave them alone for free prisoners/troops from beating back their attacks + getting more time before nobunigger arrives.

oh so you instigate war then leave them be?

elite protip strat for this guy: recruit him, and toss him some of the low tier stat books that raise shit up to 6 but no higher, then finish his snacktisfaction line, give him back his girl, and it boosts all of his stats by 2 up to an impressive 8 across the board.

robot also does a bonus 200 damage every attack, which sucks for army fights but can be very useful in commander battles, especially against a certain someone

What's better for winning battles, getting all the commanders to really low troops, or finishing a couple of them off?

killing commanders gives more points than getting multiple low

whats the best way to get books?

Use Urza and Natoris aoe attacks in tandem with Kenshin to always win. You effectively reduce the enemies actions by 2. Giving your more turns and overall reducing their power while you shuttle them down

dungeon loot, if you have fans to spare there's an action you can do on recently conquered territories that gets you money and a book, forget what the fuck it is though. raise taxes or something?

what's wrong with the translation?

It really depends.
Defeating a unit boosts your bar
But letting 6 units do 1 damage to you will end time faster

>6 int diviner this early

aww yeah

post them generics

I'm assuming saves carry over between the fan-translation and official version? Played the fuck out of this a couple months back, want to go down some of the routes I left untouched last time

There's a joke near the beginning of the game that doesn't translate well into english and it's thrown certain people into an autistic rage.

Revert to an earlier save and clear dungeons. Damage is very level differential dependent in this game.

Just savescum. Get used to it now so that by the time you do your first point run you won't feel overwhelmed by the stupid amount of RNG you'll have to deal with.

Tokugawa are impossible to deal with because of their leaders.
Taking Texas means that Uesegi hates me and it breaks up the mexican standoff on the right and Takeda taking a ton of territory.
Taking Takeda on directly means i have to deal with their calvalry units as well as their massive army.
Doing dungeons means they'll all only grow larger.

Declare on Tokugawa and capture the Tanuki.

these fucking Shizuma niggas reeeeee
3000 meat bags in each unit while I struggle to get 1000
how the fuck do I deal with this

So take them up until i'm right about to capture them and then just farm them until i POW their captains? i feel like that'll slow me down a lot

Honestly just getting the guard or Honda out of the way makes it a lot easier. Could also go for Texas. Uesugi should only declare war on you if you end the turn at peace. As long as you have another war going I don't think they do anything.

How do I stop savescumming? I'm addicted to it, I can't fucking play without doing it and get the best results!

W-what does the "Mustache!!!" button do?

Attached: ful.png (348x342, 63K)

since there's more than one ending and they take forever to get on first playthrough i'd say this is one of the few games where savescumming isn't that bad a crime

Any tips for someone new? I started today, took over the dude to the South and fucked his wife, but I feel a little lost - not really sure what I would be spending my actions on. Should I just keep going doing whatever?

It's something everyone falls for the first time around.

Rance giving him fake mustache and laughing at him, if I remember correctly.

Honda is also such a good unit that it's worth invading Tokugawa for him.
They're pretty good learning point in first game in that sometimes you just can't blaze through a country, but should take your time reducing their army.

Was there something I could have done?

no
on the second run you can kill the monkey but that is not canon

How long does it take for the tenshi sect to declare war on you?

Well she's a trooper and got over it so I feel a bit less bad. Still shitty though. Didn't realize that the game had made me care about her.

Anyways this is how my map looks first playthrough. I'm pretty much constantly making progress. The blue hair dude to the west was taken over so I guess I won't get to know his storyline, but so far I don't think I'm missing out on too much

No. Take solace in the fact when she turns 18 rance shows her the joy of his hyper weapon

Kenshin natori and Urza combo. Kenshin reduces their moves by 1. Urza special takes another of their moves and does aoe damage. Then natoris aoe special does % based damage. That should significantly weaken them. Then Kenshin and rance to batter them down, and whoever is your sixth, but honestly this combo is extremely powerful

she was actually only 14 when rance fucked her in X

You can't capture Ai. You'll get her as commander by first recruiting Kenshin in the Uesugi province, and then her. It's impossible to miss unless you don't have enough National Power.
...That is, if you didn't agree to proposal of Kenshin's uncle. If you did, you deserve everything that's coming to you.

>Takeda only captures Hojo/Uesugi on a clean first run
Great, now I'm curious what the scenes where they conquer Uesugi are like. Are Ai and Kenshin at least better units than Souun and his girlfriend?

I legit didn't know either and yet I managed to basically get all the content years back. Don't know if I'm just retarded or some kind of idiot savant for beating the game that hard without knowing this.

Attached: b55.gif (287x216, 2.23M)

It can't be postponed very long.

This is very frustrating. If I just sit here and grind levels in dungeons (hopefully somehow I'll figure out a strategy to have the commanders I want to gain be there at the end), will I be missing out on events?

The scene is like this A traitor opens the gate to Uesugi castle, the two cavalry commanders get in and duel Kenshin but she gets sniped by archers under Tourin's orders. The two cavalry commanders get a bit upset that they interrupted the duel and praise her.

Uesugi crew is definitely better. Souun is good, but his girlfriend is pretty useless, only good for being Action Permit holder.
Meanwhile Kenshin is one of the best units in the game, and Ai is very solid Tactician, probably best one you'll get in your first play barring Urza.

Does he have more presence in 03 than III? I barely remember some of the characters.

Okay bros, fresh new game is go. Feel like going for True Route this time. Is the Isoroku Route any fun? I never played that one.

Attached: Rance.jpg (800x600, 644K)

I don't know what events you'll miss, but suppose the answer is yes since it's impossible to see every event in one run.

03 expands on everything. I think somebody checked the script sizes, and found out that 03's is around 10X as large as III.
...That might seem like exagration, but back in early 90s Alicesoft games really weren't that large, so 10X of 200kb would put 03 at 2MB mark, which is pretty common for modern larger eroge.

Sounds like I made the right call. I believe conquering a nation of hot warrior girls instead of lame paper mages is something Rance would do.

Isoroku route has decent story, but as far as gameplay goes it's the worst of the bunch.

i dont know what im doing

Attached: file.png (800x600, 930K)

I really want to play the remakes now, I knew 01 added a lot compared to I but I didn't know 03 was that much larger since I thought III had pretty decent amount of characters, events, etc.

For some reason whorehime didn't appear again after her escape and trick other countries into attacking me
Also where's the black hair miko with unique portrait?
I didn' see her anywhere

True route it is then. Thanks.

which one is the true route again?

Yuki only turns other countries against you on second runs.

>Also where's the black hair miko with unique portrait?
Fuuka? You can recruit her in Owari after having talked to Kou once.

yeah her, i didn't see any option and it's turn 70 already

I guess there were the CGs of the women that the fucked up warden had tortured, but otherwise I still don't see what would set Rance 6 apart.

Is making forces 1 cheaper to replenish worth it or a waste of satisfaction points?

Depends how hard it's getting for you. I normally have a lot of ashigaru/foot soldiers who won't benefit from that choice.

Yeah, Omachi's is the best in the game.

Does the unit stats affect their dungeon capabilities or is it just when fighting with troops?

Is there like a general guide as to what you do first? Feels this game is pretty unforgiving if you screw up the early/mid game.

Given that most of the sex scenes are just one still frame you either see once per playthrough, or just get repeated endlessly every time you take a specific event, you won't be missing too much.

Where did I get the popularity staff from? It's one of the few items I've got but I can't even remember where I got it from.
Looks pretty damn useful.

From my experiences:
If a unit is under 1000 troops, then who wins depends a lot on the troop number. Sort of like Advance Wars. Once you get over 1000 troops in a unit, though, the character stats become the largest factor in determining who wins. Character stats are pretty much 100% the determining factor in dungeons, though. I don't think that the number of troops even applies in those.

Monks are great in dungeons (extra actions for other characters) and remember that you can swap characters out as much as you like there.

>Is there like a general guide as to what you do first?
There are a lot of little things you can do to help you out. I think you are probably going to be screwed with the first few playthroughs just because you won't know what's coming, and so won't prepare properly.

As for a few tips:

Don't kill Iga. Surround it and keep it alive. Breaking jars is was triggers the endgame, so delaying that gives you more time to build.
There are some other similar situations as well. The small country to the north, with the monk and blue hair princess, will trigger the nearby country attacking if you kill them, for example.
Don't go to war with too many countries, unless you have those tactician scrolls available.
Don't worry too much about YOU killing every country in the beginning. Some are amazingly strong, and will kick your ass even if you know what you're doing.
Extra actions trump nearly everything.
Rance Attack is amazing, so pick it up as soon as you can.
Some troop types are shit. Some troop types are shit in just some situations. Learn which are good, and why.
The five-man rushdown from the east (and the four from the final enemy camp) are annoying as fuck to deal with. Just try to avoid letting them take over your main camp. You can get back areas they grab if needed.

Dungeon drop
low-priority start-of-turn event which can only happen after turn 19 and the breaking of the first gourd. For the event to trigger the player must not have conquered any provinces (vassaling is fine) or entered Kill the Monkey route in 2nd game+

Don't you mean One-eye Masamune's wife?

No, she can join in your first game too but only if you dismiss Masamune I think

Oh, and capture as much stuff as you possibly can. This is how you recruit a lot of the best characters. Also, if you release 5(?) characters from jail at the same time, you get an item that will give you a free level. That's a great way to level up Rance very quickly, far better than trying to do so through dungeons.

Maria literally one shots fucking everything, just give her the popularity staff

>Character stats are pretty much 100% the determining factor in dungeons, though. I don't think that the number of troops even applies in those.
So the stats aren't exclusively for troop battles?
I wouldn't want to waste my power ups on my dungeon crawlers.

No, only level/class/items affect damage in commander battles.

How strong are they?

They're pretty strong, but it looks like you aren't dealing with Maori yet or the final army. As long as the guys to the east aren't raiding you every five turns, you should be okay. I will note that the endgame army doesn't take them over like they do every other opponent, though, so if you have priorities elsewhere, they are safe to leave alone until later in the run.

The other way, you need Masamune to recruit her. To character clear her however you must lose him from your roster.

>low-priority start-of-turn event which can only happen after turn 19 and the breaking of the first gourd.
Did you mean before? I loaded an old save and here I have it on turn 10. If it's a dungeon drop then I guess I must have gotten it from the Kachi-Kachi Cave because it's the only dungeon I've got available.
But are you saying it's random? So I was just lucky or something? It's not guaranteed loot from the Kachi-Kachi Cave?

Almost feel like playing again but I don't want to deal with the fucky dungeons and the forced demon crap from the west

What does K.I.A mean? Just that they're removed from the enemy's pool of commanders?

Yes, and no one gets to use them.

i think it's "killed in action"

Killed in Action
As in they're permanently dead

You cant get most shit in that route though if I remember it right

So why not just use "killed" and "captured" instead of KIA and POW?

>get 5 bonus points per playthrough
>need to beat everything remarkably fast to get more than that, along with fucking everything, but don't really have the time or actions to do so
>extra fans cost 10-20 bonus points in a playthrough
>command scrolls cost 10 points
>KTM costs 10 points and doesn't really let you finish faster, just see the content on your own timer
How many times did you fuckers play through the game to actually get enough points to actually use more than one or two things? It seems like it will take forever, or at least forever to unlock command scrolls/battle fans enough to dominate the game. And by that point, you're basically done and have the points you need anyways.

To 100% you need to beat him at least once as you did. In ng+ you'll have several other options for Iga.

Higher difficulties have hundreds more points and when you figure out the tricks then runs will get faster

When you have some extra points to start a playthrough more prepared, you start a 1-star Ran route and rush it so you can get a bulk of points. After that, when you can start with even more shit, it escalates.

>now i see why all the screens you upload dont have iga conquered
No, you don't.

The endgame is basically on a timer. The number of jars remaining determines when it happens. A new one gets randomly broken every 30 days or something similar. However, you can delay things the longest by not conquering territories which hold the jars, since you break them immediately when you take them over. Iga is one which holds a jar, so it is easier to just surround Iga and then let them occasionally attack, otherwise ignoring them. Once the endgame starts then just take it over then.

If you just want Inukai dead, then bring Rance and the ninja girl to that fight. He'll decide to stick around and fight to the death, which means you can kill him and permanently suppress Iga.

Inukai is a 400 IQ ninja
His doggo attack causes massive shift in the win ratio and causes up all his actions
So immediately upon battle start he swings the battle in his favor and after that he is an unattractive target since you should focus down the enemy commanders that do have actions left to deny them
This means he will have full unit strength in the battle again and just repeats the whole ordeal

They are military terms and you are playing a war game.

earlier designs from the manual

Maybe I just didn't play enough. I did three completed playthroughs of the game, or something similar, and past that it just became an absolute chore. There was little else to see at that point beyond perhaps conquering Houjou, and I couldn't bother myself with playing through another 100+ turns any more. It's not as if any of the playthroughs were any different anyways, once I figured out the better strategies, so it was mostly just trying out slightly different variants or seeing what I could get away with.

Do a 1 star playthrough of the kenshin route and take rances love as a bonus. That let’s you do affection bonuses for kenshin every 3 turns passively not counting fan actions to increase her level. Take the +2 level every time since the route is more focused on single fights over army battles. You’ll get enough points from that to take a shitload of house bonuses to sweep other game modes for more points

There are quite a few hidden interactions between commanders, events that only happen if you conquer in specific order and of course filling up all the ero scenes.
Also, to get high scores, you need to start wrapping up playthroughs much faster than 100 turns.
Then of course you also have challenge runs you may want to do.

If you are still doing 100 turn runs, you did not figure out the better strategies, I can assure you

It would be pretty cool if this could be localized.
Have Mangagamer ever said anything about it?

Though then again if it wasn't part of the physical copies already sold then it'll likely never be I guess.

>It's not as if any of the playthroughs were any different anyways, once I figured out the better strategies, so it was mostly just trying out slightly different variants or seeing what I could get away with.
That's kinda understandable with most of the routes being more or less the same as true with the exception of kenshin route. That being said, I personally had the most fun trying to do 5-star ktm runs and trying to 'win' the demon king route because they really push your strategies to the test and require you to be as resourceful as possible whereas regular playthroughs are just a matter of playing out the turns.

Someone asked them before if they had any plans on localizing merch and they said it's not impossible but don't count on it

Yeah, but how many playthroughs is that? Every bonus you can get costs 10pts, at least, except perhaps bonus routes. I could grab two starting fans and the command scrolls for 30pts, but that requires six boring playthroughs of the same game.

I did the Isoroku route and I think KTM once, but after that it just felt terribly repetitive. Maybe I'll try to get Kenshin if I replay.

>The strongest Yankee guy monster is a native american

I got 67 points in my second playthrough. If you use rance sat bonus for things like boosting affection to clear characters, give them +2 points ending bonus and rush the conclusion(plus a couple other bonuses like attedning the festival), you can get a high score early on.

I've done over 10 playthroughs on the fan patch, but the last time I did a fresh start I had over 70 points at the end of my 2nd game.

How the fuck do you rush through the five elite troops at the end? They're always there and are a pain in the ass to break through. Nevermind that half the final army units have a full-party nuke attack that just ignore Guard and the Diviner shields don't help much with.

The music in this is so fucking good

Does Aki only have that one scene from when you first conquer Hara, or can you do her again?
She was too fun to just be forgotten like that.

You can go back and fuck her again, for the same CG.

>why not use a longer nomenclature that won't fit in the tiny unit boxes
>when everyone minus one user knows the term KIA, and POW

Really? How?

How does the taxation events work?
Seems like the gold you get goes up with each turn you don't do the events. But if you do them, they never come back?

If you captured her and turned her into a sex slave, then go back to Ise and one of the actions you can take will be to fuck her again. I think it's once per turn and uses an action fan, so it's not a great use of your time. But you can waste your turns fucking the shit out of her if you have nothing else you want to do.

Temping to buy this and play it again because I spent so much time on it but I don't want to give up like one hundred something bonus points

Saves are compatible.

I see no such option in Ise.
Do I have to get closer to her husband or something?

yes

You can tax an area once for money and a statbook(not speed though). The money rises each turn, but once claimed, that is it. Getting early statbooks from the first few areas is usually more worth it (until you star getting commanders who have 6+ stats by default).

I think anons said you can copy the saves

what do

He sucks baseline, but if you feel like investing a ton you can turn him into a high stat monstrous unit. question is why bother though when warriors suck after mid-game on higher star runs?

Summon forces from a foreign nation.

You say it's racist, in my opinion the message is that all other yankees are low-tier trash, but enlightened native yankee can actually stand above the rest.
Wouldn't it be really shitty message if the native American yankees were the mobs, and the ones in "I LOVE NY" shirts were the strongest?

Reinforcements is the highest priority behind additional fans. So reinforcements, obviously.

Summon Forces. Either go to Zeth enough to get Urza, or go all in for Leazas.

Its better to wait actually, until you're maxing out asset tech and banking 2k a turn from it.

>until you're maxing out asset tech and banking 2k a turn from it.
?

what about the multi-talented old man/middle aged man?

They're good at building and other skill checks.

Is my run broken then or something? I don't have any such event.

Should I leave the dungeons until later or clear them now?

You most definitely want the reinforcements. The tactician alone is incredibly good.

I dunno what its called in the translation, jap one the skill was called "asset tech" and provided interest on banked gold but it maxed out at I believe 50k = 2k additional gold per turn. So aslong as you have 50k in the bank you got an extra 2k a turn.
Tips for new people
>You need a lot of foot soldiers, high stat ones are required to take but even low stats in the 4s are nessecary as chaff
>Warriors fall off mid game unless you turn them into 9 attack monsters, lots of warriors out there so don't take too many
>Rangers suck other than iso because of her assassinate shot and cheap recruits
>Good divininers are rare, but very useful because of their attack all
>Mikos usually suck but unique ones usually have op skills

Wait until you as close to your 30 man roster as possible, though some dungeons should be cleared early like the one in kyoto because it provides a ton of sat and a nice item for your archers/ninjas giving them bonus damage since they usually are pretty weak. When you clear a dungeon for the first time, all your active commanders in your roster gain 1 level.

What point are you at? Purely for ideal level gains it's best to do them when you have your ideal team assembled, but that's gonna leave it for end-game, and going through many in a row is kind of a slog. But they'll make for decent change of pace when you have to spend several turns fighting the final war.

Any gay doujins of rance?

>Yuki puts me against three countries at the same time because I didn't know about the event in new game+
FUCK YOU

Summon Forces from a Foreign Nation (Urza)

Is it just me or is Senhime incredibly overrated? She's just a very expensive footsoldier that you can get fairly early on and is stuck with that shitty all guard.

iirc correctly, it's not an event in Ise, it only happens sometimes at Rance's estate. If there is an actual event with her, it'll be her character clear which can only be done in second game.

Turn 19 so dont have many good commanders yet

So best to just do the first dungeon then leave the rest for much later then?

Is the tactician Lezeas or Zeth?

She is super hot and unwilling at first, I also have a thing for tank chicks in mmos and rpgs. Besides, she performs quite well.

Check the wiki so you dont get confused, I think you can get 5 out of 6 total units or some shit, it's been too long.

Strong stats on a foot soldier, best one you'll have for awhile and a good supplement to Katsuie (Who you can make into a d-god with sat bonuses but means you need to invest books early)

Huh. Dead franchise then. Can't even get enough fans that there's gay smutt drawn its basically DOA

She's good early because early footsoldiers suck ass, once you get past mid game/house bonuses she becomes redundant.

is it possible to do 5-star without taking any bonuses?

The Ashigakawasasdasd capital has a dungeon (pretty sure its Kyoto) that has a very valuable dungeon worth to rush if you don't have 3 initial fans from new game +

NEWFAGS USE THIS AND IGNORE THE WARNING

The old men have 8 in all non combat stats, so they are strictly utility.
Urza (2nd Zeth reinforcement) is flat out one of the best units in the game. Great stats, and she can pick up a busted skill that reduces all enemy action flags by one. The other reinforcement units are all decent to good, except for Kanami, who is useless, even for ninjas.
Make sure to pick up Rance attack too sometime.

It's from the generic satisfaction/sex event in Owari.

Newfags should just play the game at their own pace instead of save scumming for a guide. They're going to end up with a score of zero anyway, so they might as well as just enjoy the game their own way. Figuring things out on your own can be enjoyable.

All-Guard is pretty good though because it means you can have useful footsoldiers in the backrow without taking up the space for expensive and useful frontrow units.

Forehead girl looks pretty cool.

Who the fuck else would you use at that point in the game?

Got that backwards. Means you can have more useful backrow units with footguards in front to block for them.

Can you capture Kentarou while he is enlisted under Hara?

Eh. Not really. All guard increases at a reduced rate compared to other guards, and will be used more frequently too so it also decreases at an increased rate. It's honestly kinda mediocre since backline units usually do fine on their own.

No. He joins in an event later on.

No, you have to keep ending his employment for him to join

Wow, they really aged Agireda down.

All the forced sex scene is kinda annoying after awhile

Nah serious. I know this series is 10 years old and Japanese. Even niche series about rats have gay doujins. I knew it was niche but wew

There's only 1 good Archer in the game and it isn't Hara.

The hannies are having fun

No archers are good. Isoroku is acceptable because she has an assassinate skill, lets you recruit two decent early generics, and has a route dedicated to her. Every other one should just be turned in for the levelup items unless they have impressive social stats.

I'd play it if I knew how to set it up.

not good, but he has events and a clear for 100%ing

The hannies are fucking super cunts

>No archers are good.
Really? Is their damage simply too poor no matter how much you invest in them or something?
But isn't Volley good? Attacking everyone and with no required charge up.
>Every other one should just be turned in for the levelup items
?

Her yamatoto sweeping fire also ignores ally guard, so it can be useful for targeting weak units who would otherwise be protected.

He's alright. Nothing amazing but he's good enough for a first playthrough where you're strapped for even medicore commanders.

The damage they deal is just subpar and only becomes decent if you invest heavily into stat books, plus their biggest draw in having large numbers isn't that great because troop size gives diminishing damage returns. They're okay early when they start at decent sizes relative to everyone else but fall off super quick. Volley is a good skill on a bad class.

It's nice, but SR is just flat out a better game. Battles in K are entirely automated, so I greatly prefer SR.
Still, you can't impregnate your enslaved moonbitch and then have a threesome with the mother and daughter in SR.

>lets you recruit two decent early generics
Which ones?

Archers are mostly just weak because there aren't any with amazing stats, except for maybe if a generic spawns with exceptionally high stats. There is one thing archers are good for that's kind of niche, and that's getting the 30k troop bonus objective, since archers (along with footsoldiers) have the fastest growth rate in the game.
Archers end up mostly getting crowded out because tacticians and mikos do almost as much damage but have extra utility, and both classes have more quality unique commanders.

Their damage is too poor. Volley is pretty weak. Urza is a far better option, since her similar attack also eliminates AP from every enemy, and the Diviners are far better at hitting the entire enemy party with other utilities as well.

The starting archer with the recruit skill, and Isoroku, are pretty much the only archers you'll ever need in the game.

Those 2 archer girls.

Yeah, I basically play eratohok for screwing around and do some really dumb shit like playing as a hermaphrodite and impregnating myself but yes sengoku rance is definitely the better game gameplay wise.

>Rance chooses the 3 worst sengoku girls to impregnate

Now that this is on Steam, does it have achievements?

>steam

Go back to Ashikaga once its been conquered, and you can recruit the Kuge sisters. Kuge Kyouko (soldier) has Light Attack, which does low damage but increases the chance of recruiting. Kuge Kiyoko (guard) has Assist Tech which gives you 5% of your total saved money every turn. They get outdated as you progress in the game (especially the soldier) since they don't really do anything particularly special, but you can grab them really early and they're useful for recruiting enemies, building up cash, and just general guard stuff.

The only CG she has is one where Masamune is getting post-coitus cuddles from all his wives

There's a surprising amount of girls Rance never fucked. Canonically he never even fucks Ran even though it still happens in the true route, they retconned it because I guess they just felt bad for her.

How does the score at the end of the game work? I get points that I can use on upgrades for my next playthrough? Do these points disappear once I use them or are they permanent?

They are permanent and only increase if you beat your previous high score (except for completing different routes)

Which power up is good?

Attached: ALCG0000.png (800x600, 800K)

Your highest score you've ever gotten is the amount of points you're allotted to use on new game+ bonuses. It's not spent permanently, that's just your limit. Besides your high score, you also get +5 points for every route you've completed.

>How does the score at the end of the game work?
Your score at the end is amount set at beginning (60 on first game, but it can be raised on larger difficulties) minus the turn count, with additional bonuses coming from characters you've cleared, characters with End Game Points skill that you have in your party at the end, and various special conditions you've done like beating Masamune or Orochi.
>I get points that I can use on upgrades for my next playthrough?
Yes.
>Do these points disappear once I use them or are they permanent?
They're permanent. What you're aiming is for is the max score, which you can then use to buy various bonuses for following playthroughs.

You mean Netori.

Depends on what you're going for. Any of the special attacks are nice, with Light Attack being good against troublesome people you wanna catch.
Various special skills are... fine, but nothing game changing. You could pick Bonus Points if you're planning to keep her in until the end.

This game has some rng or to be more precise you can force good rng so if you think your units are up the part to kill it then just reload till you get it

which "obtain skill" is that

+100 can be achieved with money. +100 is only like 5000 gold anyway.
The other stuff, like the skills or Attack Up (stats under 6 can be achieved with items so don't), can only be achieved here.

I think that's the castle battle, not the commander fight.
In which case, he should let Tokugawa take one territory back, and try to capture Honda.

Rance always dies when his unit is destroyed.

wait till they attack you and then capture tadakatsu honda or their footsoldier. makes it a lot easier

Kenshin + Urza if you have them.
Foot Soldier with Guard to avoid killing Rance. A Diviner with a shield on your Foot Soldier makes it even more effective.
Spend a fight or two wearing them down, then go in and nuke the fuck out of Ieyasu when they all have low numbers.

You can capture the other raccoons in previous fights, so try to do that and give Ieyasu less good supporters.

You can go back on those options IIRC.

The one between Shuriken and and troops. Even if it's not there, you can go back to previous menu.

How do I get those relationship up items? Do I just have to stop being a lucklet?

Yes, but she just kind of disappeared after that because I didn't manage to get the route where she's actually relevant.

Give me some Japanese only games that are better. I love Rance X as well but it's still not quite there in my opinion. My Japanese friends agree that Sengoku is kamige

>haven't played it in 5 years after I finally beat it for the first time
It's time to start again bros. I maybe don't remember what triggers certain events, but I remember how to absolutely murder those cucklords.

So they released the decensored version just recently? are you able to find a pirated decensored version yet?

I think somebody worked out the math for this a while back. Basically, you're set to receive something after victorious battle every X turns, and it can be either affection item, or rarely stat book. The actual tier of the item is random, but type is always the same.
So if after battle you receive +1 affection item, if you reload and to the battle again you might get one of the better ones. You get +4 ones pretty often, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was 25% chance for each type, but don't quote me on that.

>unironically thinking SR is better than X

game isnt censored

I can honestly see it go either way, but pretending it's an easy pick is ridiculous.

>Money Management
>Gold increases by 4% each turn (20% Maximum)
So 4% with one unit with the skill, 8% with two units, etc, etc, 20% with 5 units with the skill?
How in the world do you get 5 units with the skill?

SR's characters and story alone make it worse

Relationship items are obtained on every fourth battle victory (with a few exceptions) and stat books come if the turn counter ends in the number 6 but can be obtained on the next battle if you missed the turn.

There are a few units guaranteed to have it, but to get 5 you just need to get lucky with rng.

I agree that those are far worse than X's, but the game is just far more replayable because it focuses less on the story and each playthrough is a lot shorter. It feels a lot more varied.
Granted, I've probably put more time into X overall though.

>lucky with rng
As in capturing with generics fortunate enough to have the skill?

>buy

you don't have to do it 5 at a time, if you got a lot of prisoners you can release them in sets of 5 instead
i.e. release 15 prisoners at once to gain 3 level up items after closing the prison screen

Yes.

I remember that feel. I remember how awful that was.

So put the screenshot on Dropbox and post it, retard

thx mate

I still think the gacha system on X makes it plenty replayable. Maybe not in the same sense but I really don't see much of a difference between say attacking Mouri first vs trying to one turn subjugate Zeth

don't encourage his phone-posting ways retard

Kuge Kiyoko mentioned has the skill, she might have a different name with the official translation though. Get Isoroku, beat Ashikaga, then Iso will say she knows where you can recruit two girls. Those are the two you can get. They're cute and both have glasses, so it's easy to recognize them from the generics.

It has to be multiples of 5, though. Releasing 2 in one prison visit and 3 next won't get you the item. So yeah, it's best to let amount of people in prison build up.

I think it's mostly just exhaustion, starting a new playthrough just seems kind of daunting when it's going to take as long as an X playthrough does. If you ask me at any moment in time which I'd rather start a playthrough of it's probably Sengoku, even though I loved my time with X to bits.
I just checked, 350 hours. Jesus christ.

ok so when the fuck do you get the foreign reinforcement
it's been a few turns now and nothing

I recruited her extremely early on, but it was before I even knew how to read what skills a commander had. I just saw that her stats were sub par and that she costed 3 nation power and I just hard noped out of it and reloaded my auto save.
Now I feel like such a fool especially since I realized that I could dismiss troops from her unit and have cost go down by one.

Upgrading Rance. I believe it's when he levels up, but it is related to Rance's advancement. It isn't something story-based and you don't get it just by waiting.

piercing or ashigaru?

You need some spare national power (like 5) and you also might need to do an event at Owari to receive them

I like the priestess girl he rails and holds onto her hair ornament

6 or 7 turns. I don't remember. It takes a while.
Which is also one of the reasons for why it's good to not slack off with it. It's slow but the pay off is rather great.

If you have enough national power and space in your roster, the event might have been eaten by another start of the turn one.
If that happened, there should be event in Owari for accepting the reinforcements.

Piercing Tempest! Piercing Tempest without a doubt.
It only consumes 2 actions so she can still acts afterwards. It's a quick skill so she can quickly act again after using the skill. Allowing her to either use the skill again, or use her remaining action points for regular attacks.
It's an amazing skill. Especially since it gives no fucks about troop sizes like the ninja assassination skills do.

Don't worry. The sisters will be waiting for you on your next playthrough.
Also, recruit those characters who have 7+ Construction. They can quickly build up cities and pay for their own nation power, plus make room for others.

Piercing. It's an attact not affected by guards, so you can easily snipe enemies in both front- and back-rows. For extra goodness, equip Isoroku with one of those damage boosting items, like the claw or seven-pronged sword.

Reminder to conquer Mouri house and give Chinu the D before it's too late

>one of two actually useful Mikos in the game
>explodes in a gory mess with the normal route and most routes
Thanks, just when I was thinking I could use the class for something.

I got the Samurai one of the kuge sisters, she's pretty cute and surprisingly good in battle
Her guard break attack makes her more effective than any other early game Samurai except Rance himself
I even benched Ranmaru for her
