Nobunaga's Ambition 12 PK edition

[Dark Sheer]

Does anyone actually play this game? I am not sure if Koei will release an English version anytime sooner (The original Nobu12 was released in 2005) but the PK edition in Japanese was only released in July 2007 and for the first time I believe Koei has no intention to release a Chinese version.

I would like to discuss the game with anyone who is playing it. Maybe on the strategy as well? I have been playing for 3 months and still learning new things everyday. This game does, however, takeaway alot of my Civ time!

Is it another game that's like all the others they make?

I wouldn't call it another game like all the others.

First, its fully 3D (since Nobu11), battle are in realtime (since Nobu11 as well but now battle happens on the main map), now include tech research, new to PK version is the trading with foreigners to bring in new tech, last but not least Nobu12 introduced Naval battle with 3 type of ships.

For anyone who like the Nobu series or ROTK series, they will simply fell in love with this one!

Here is two screen shot for those who are wondering how the game looks like. This is the full Japanese version although the menu are almost 100% represented by Kanji.

Both screen shot show the starting city for Oda Nobunaga but at 2 different angle and zoom level (the map can be zoomed and rotated freely just by holding down the left mouse button / rolling the mouse wheel )
