==Game Type==
 
  
==Competitive==
 
 
==Cooperative==
 
 
==Faction Types==
 
===Major Clan===

===Clan===
 
You are not quite a major clan, but still prestigious and well armed. If there's ever a time to raise your position to among the first rank of powers, this has to be it.
 
 
===Major Shrine===
 
You are one of the most important Shinto Shrines in Amahara. You may even be part of those who decide the apostle, the lands nominal ruler. The Shogunate however has restricted your power for many generations, rendering the apostle a mere figurehead. Now in this time of disorder you have a chance to restore Amahara to the true path.
 
 
Bonuses to Shrine Maiden recruitment.
 
 
===Major Temple===
 
You are one of the largest Buddhist organizations in Amahara, with numerous monks and other adherents under your banner. You and your fellows are well placed to see the excesses and hardships dealt by the great clans and Samurai, but will you seek to reform or overthrow them?
 
 
Bonuses to Warrior Monk/Warrior Nun recruitment
 
 
===Pirate Clan===
 
The outer world offers many riches to those who know how to get them. Even more so in times of disorder at home like this. As a pirate clan, you intend to make those riches yours. If riches can be found at home also... well that's so much the better.
 
 
Bonuses to naval construction.
