In the mid 1400’s war erupted over who would inherit the title of Shogun, the open conflict ravaged important areas of the country, and continued to do so until the combatants wore down each other to a hashed stalemate. Japan’s Diamyo were a ruling class of land owners who exerted military and taxation powers over those who lived and worked on their land – similar in nature to the Counts and Dukes of Feudal Europe. “…wonderfully inspired by the Japanese art of the time – it truly manages to penetrate every part of the game.” This period, Sengoku Jidai – Age of Hostile Country – would go on to become one of the most renowned civil wars of human history. The ruling lords, Diamyo, had grown stronger and began to question and challenge the leadership of the nation. With both the rank of Emperor and Shogun, formerly with unchallengeable power, declined in their influence and control, the power and control of the nation became highly contested. From the 15th until the early 17th century, Japan’s Shogunate was heavily contested by powerful lords from around the country.
