---------------->Be sure to run RunMe.bat before playing so that the game plays sounds correctly.<----------------


Synopsis: The year is 1530 and the place is Feudal Japan.  The frequent, violent battles conducted by clashing warlords give this period it's suiting name: Sengoku Jidai; The Age of the Country at War.

For game-specific information, make sure to read the on-line manual in the ReadMe directory.



Special Thanks: 
*Gareth Birch (fairline) for composing new units that blew me out of my seat!
*Samurai Warfare by Dr. Stephen Turnbull -- I stole his cover art for the new Title  :)
*Everybody involved in the PBEM of Sengoku Jidai -- it really helped give me some insight.
*Everybody involved in SDC #4, I enjoyed making this scenario on a subject I normally wouldn't handle.  I'm a WW2 kinda guy :)



Known Bugs:
* Disbanding Paradigm Yari Ashigaru or your Daimyo will yield 0 shields, as it takes 0 shields to build.  Additionally, disbanding it in a city it will cause the game to give you negative shield production boxes (this means that whatever unit is produced after the P Yari Ashigaru is disbanded will take a VERY long time to build).  If you have accidentally disbanded a P Yari Ashigaru in your city, simply build another p yari ashigaru and the shield box will go back to normal.  So basically, don't disband P Yari Ashigaru or Daimyo.

* The 'airlift' command does not appear in the orders menu, however pressing 'l' will still transport a unit from one city with a natural harbor to another.

* Oda tends to bribe A LOT when in singleplayer.  Still not sure what does this.  Probably has something to do with zero cost units.
