[Doom]

Defend against One Eye House once and Demon Army once. Turn 115 starts. We do the final Miki search since it's No Fun Allowed until we finish.















... :( Sill is permanently removed from the game, Rance loses his Healing passive in Army Battles and Sill won't duck in as a bonus Mage in Dungeon Battles. Also any scenes that required Sill such as Character Clears, fucking in the Hot Springs and some Dungeon Clears are impossible to do, though the Dungeon Clears will just be amended to be shorter. You get a few options to interact with Sill and try to unfreeze her, these are mostly to relief Rance's irritation that will begin to subtract his Satisfaction.

We have 3 Fans left, let's use them after we stop crying. The traveling carnival is back! We go with Kou.




Then we clear Road to Hades for the last time. Next time we'll start at the final floor! We Develop twice for two more National Power and that's Turn 115.

[Doom]

Defend against One Eye House once and then antics over at the Demon Army.



And since I've got Magic with me this time, more moe.




Hnnnggg. Turn 116 starts. He's been falling off lately and his cost is ridiculous so I dismiss Tengu Guy's troop down to 1/1 so I can keep him for the Character Clear bonus to my score. This gets me 17,000 Dosh and 8 National Power back. Hopy shit. We attack One Eye House to seize their final province, again! We get the same scenes... hmm. Masamune should join the following turn? Well, at least we definitely did the proper Omachi event. We impose a levy and get a nice +10 Score bonus for defeating the Great Youkai King. The final Youkai province has easy Treasure searches for Stat Textbook 2s. A nice reward. We grab an Action Textbook 2 and Develop the new province for +1 National Power and end Turn 116.

[Doom]

Defend once against Demon Army. A few cutscenes.




Noir has crept up to 2000 Stack so I give her the Uesugi Charge Unit(+1000 Stack) I've been saving for a female Warrior. Another 3000 strong Warrior unit!



Not much to do but win the game, eh? We attack.




Oh, it seems they're saving their actual units for Defense. Still an easy win, especially with the tight spread of Ai's Tactician buffs. And that useless Infected unit weaking the enemy Comp. 1/4 taken! And then... we finally clear Road to Hades!











.... :V Our reward is a Defense Textbook 2 from the shared semi-random set. Bogus. We talk to Uesugi for a generic scene and Affection bonus for +100 Max Troops and to Katsuie for the same and improve his Guard to Guard Plus(builds 150% Guard at a time.) Turn 117 ends.

Seriously?

Semi-random loot for a Super Boss?

Buhhhhhhhhh.

Defend against Demon Army twice. Their Comps are reaaaaaally weak. I may be Killing off their best units too fast for them to recover. Hahaha. A much nicer change of pace than earlier replay struggles.

[Doom]

Things get cosmetically dire between turns.




Turn 118 begins. I think Masamune's joining is a low priority random event and could take awhile but at least we have a ton of Demon Army land to plow through. I give Kentarou a +1 Affection Gift and chat with him, giving him Clear Bonus for extra Score.





I then attack the Demon Army once for 2/4. Once again they seem to be saving their real comps for Defense but I've done so well this game that I feel unstoppable.






I decide to hold off for now and search for the other two Stat Textbook 2s in the Youkai provinces. Turn 118 ends.

[Doom]

Demon Army attacks three times. It's really weird how their invading comps seem to be super weak. I think I'm just killing their guys way too hard and they can't Replenish fast enough so they can build more Stacks. I guess annihilating Shimazu units really does dramatically fleece their numbers.



Suddenly things get interesting!











OH NO NOT MY BUTT! You get several options to send against Gigai. If Rance himself goes Gigai will become too excited and burn him to ashes... but he'll always remember you. Sending any Commander but Demon Kentarou or Souun(if you have him) will get them executed as well, but this is necessary to develop a plan to defeat Gigai. Souun will actually kill him to avenge Ran and this is necessary to Character Clear Souun. So if you recruit an expendable loser from prison you can always brute force Gigai who should appear after a Defense. But if Kentarou has become Demonic, he can fight Gigai to a draw and will gain 3 levels for it. In fact, Kentarou can farm Gigai's duels to power-level. We use Kentarou to stall for now.

[Doom]

Yay Masamune joins at the start of Turn 119!





As the other Youkai Commanders he has awesome stats. He has a high Dungeon Level Cap and can even use his Eyedrops to restore his Action Flags and HP to full! He's really great if you want to go take on Orochi. He joins us Exhausted so we can't do anything with him yet... but we can chat with him. We also get an option to plan for Gigai's return if we sacrificed somebody or had Kentarou stall him at least once. We'll plan for Gigai's return... my ass is in danger, after all.






Rance falls asleep, not really caring. Chaos laments the danger my ass is in. Hopefully this unlocks an option the next time Gigai shows up. Let's talk to Masamune! Note that you cannot recruit Masamune if you have Character Cleared any of his wives before he joins and once he does join he won't let you Character Clear them. So we're going to Character Clear him as fast as we can first...



Masamune: Is that all?

Rance: Yeah, I'm not interested in men.

We talk to him again!




And that puts him at 2/7 Affection and clears his opening cutscenes. We'll have to give him Gifts when he isn't Exhausted. We hit a Develop 12 for +1 National Power and Turn 119 ends.

[Doom]

Demon Army attacks once. Defeat Agireda's unit for once but no capture. Sad face. Next turn starts with an automatic scene from Natori. Also Rance's Satisfaction drops to 204 due to irritation.



Hmm. I think this may be a thing that makes Road of Hades worth doing. But... effort. As Turn 120 starts I... dismiss Masamune's troops down to 1/1 Stack? He has a Cost of 8 so I want to get that down... among other sneaky things I have planned. We give Masamune +5 Affection in gifts and chat with him again.




Then we chat with him again!







More amazing 7/8 flat stats. What makes Omachi the best unit in the game is that she can spam instant AoEs with Lightning or use a Preparation Phase for Large Lightning. This is a unique Preparation and must be interrupted by Ninjas twice to actually be stopped. As I understand it, Large Lightning basically wins the match for you. It's brokenly strong!

Oh and then we dismiss Masamune so we can start wooing and fucking his wives. Gahahahahahaha! Then we recruit Miss Kojika with the last open Commander slot and I hit my perfect 30/30 Commanders, or at least as close as I can.

Wait I didn't recruit Mouri???????? Yeah sorry folks Mouri is a weird character. He's an excellent Warrior unit with Commander Charge and all but if you Character Clear: [spoiler]he dies but his ghost returns in Cursed form to help you out... this fixes his damage at 200 again and makes him good for Dungeon Battles and that's it. Booo.[/spoiler] Kojika's All Guard Shikigami alone is vastly better especially since we already have like 7 awesome Warrior units and Kentarou.

We give Noir a +3 Affection Gift and chat with her to shift her to Normal.




Then we talk to Omachi once.




Heyo Turn 120 ends.

[Doom]

Demon Army attacks twice. Gigai returns but I don't see any particularly special or new options... I have Kentarou stall him again and he levels to 53. Turn 121 starts and we give Noir +7 Affection in gifts and chat with her.




Then we give her +7 Affection in gifts and chat again!




Boom, Character Cleared. We give Nogiku a +3 gift and chat with her.




I can see why she's Romosome's waifu. And I used my 4th Fan to actually recruit Kojika so that's Turn 121.

[Doom]

Demon Army attacks, let's try Omachi out.



... :O 1200-1500 damage to each enemy unit. Welp. Turn 122 starts and we give Nogiku +7 Affection in gifts and chat with her again.




And then we do it again. Good thing I have so many gifts stockpiled, though the frequent attacks by the Demon Army certainly helped with regards to that!




Rance then gently makes love to Nogiku.

Another Character Clear! We give Orime +5 Affection in gifts and chat with her.





Character Clear'd! Orime starts at Normal and Clears at Trust instead of the Hate to Love progression of the others. I give Omachi gifts up to 5/7 Hated before I run out. Doh! I use my last Action Fan to chat Omachi to 6/7 Hated in a generic scene and end Turn 122.

[Doom]

Demon Army attacks. Omachi's regular, instant Lightning spell deals 500-700 to every unit... Damn! Gigai shows up and I let Kentarou stall again. Since Gigai always shows up after a Defense, this is Action Fan free grinding. Hmmm. Maybe I'll never kill him? Or wait until Kentarou hits Level 99... this is probably relevant to clearing the Orochi dungeon.

Turn 123 begins with Rance's Satisfaction dropping to 194. The carnival is here again so we go again with Kouhime for another +3 Score. We also seem to have an option to rape our prisoner Daidouji Komatsu, the Bushido Idol from Houjou. This'll lead to stripping her in front of her former troops and +5 Satisfaction, but she'll be brought into Rance's Harem and be unavailable for recruit. We'll pass on that option and visit Sill.



There are several options available including splashing her with boiling water, scraping the ice with Chaos or asking Magic for help. None of them do anything and eventually we get an option to try a wake-up kiss. :3c It doesn't do anything but Rance's irritation will go away for awhile. If you get a scene/option to ask Miki for help, don't do it. She'll accidentally shatter the ice and Sill... we chat with Omachi once for 7/7 Hate, then again.



We improve her Guard Shikigami to All Guard and call it a Turn 123! The only thing better than a broken unit is a more broken unit.

[Doom]

Demon Army attacks once and Omachi gains +1 Affection during the Defense. Turn 124 begins. I talk to Magic for a generic scene and teach her the Clear Bonus passive. Then I talk to Omachi three times in a row for Generics for 4/7 Normal Affection. Turn 124 ends! Demon Army attacks with a real comp with Agireda but again evades capture. They attack two more times! Turn 125 begins with a 3G moment.



We got a +2 Gift from those Defenses so we give it to Omachi, chat with her once for a generic to 7/7 and then chat with her again.






Then we chat with her twice more for two generics and +2 Affection and end Turn 125. Demon Army attacks twice and we get a +4 Gift! Excellent. Rance's Satisfacation drops to 184. Turn 126 begins and we give Omachi the gift and chat to her once for a generic to get her to 7/7 Trust, then chat with her again.





Character Clear'd! ... I guess we'll beat the game now. Pffft. We have two Fans left and the Demon Army's closest province is at 2/4. We bonk once and go to bonk again... Gigai shows up, we Kentarou him, let's take the first Demon Army province!

Sengoku Rance OST - Advance On (v2)










A Tactician is useful as the Demon Shoguns have Remove Buff and will favor using it over their Lightning attacks. Their Stack size is significant enough that this will buy you time to Alpha them before they hit you for 500-1000 each like they're Omachi or somethin'. Human Killer might have a special move, I forget, he's easy to kill before he uses it. Time Killer uses the "Waste 3 Turns" move we saw a long time ago. This battle is tough but fair, just punch through it with your A-Team.

[Doom]

Defeating the Demon Shoguns will get you Satisfaction +5 so wiping out Demon Army provinces is as rewarding as usual provinces! We end turn 126. A homo firebird shows up. I decide to risk sending Rance out this time which is the trigger after you develop the plan to face Gigai.











Pretty easy, we only let Gigai attack once before we kill him. That's three of Xavier's four Apostles dead!

[Doom]

Turn 127 begins. We impose a levy, send Kentarou on a Level Up adventure in Cairo and search for the province's treasure.



Pretty great for the End Game and all since we're fighting so many Demons! I decide to start clearing to the smaller Southern Demon Army Provinces which are 3 and 2 Territories respectively. The province to my west is 4 territories. Toshihisa shows up to defend but naturally stacking his army with Infected makes this a turkey shoot.





Farewell, Toshihisa. Turn 127 ends. Demon Army attacks twice. Turn 128 begins. Attack once for 2/3 and the last two Shimazu brothers show up in the defense. Fortunately they're not as dangerous with their reduced 2000 Stacks and the Tactician brother is the weakest anyway.




So long Bad Tactician. We go for the kill.




The same set-up as before. Use an overwhelmingly good offensive team to Alpha down as many enemies as you can and to at least claim a Morale victory before Time Killer's antics make that impossible. A single Tactician should occupy the Demon Shogun. It seems that Capsule Goo Sex is only unique so many times so this second victory only leads to +1 Satisfacation. We impose a levy and do an easy Treasure search for a +Attack Textbook 2 and Turn 128 ends. The Demon Army... doesn't attack for once! Rance's Satisfaction drops to 181.

We attack the Southernmost Demon Army province for 1/2 and this provokes Xavier.






This begins the End Game countdown! You need to seize the Westernmost province and choose an event to begin the Final Battle. So we better hurry and take that Southern province!




No Shogun but the same strong comp. Not stronger than Omachi.

[Doom]

Laughed way too hard at the last scenes. Madou is another Dungeon boss battle two-fer but unlike say Rengoku he's a total wuss. We don't let him cast anything in Human form and his attacks in Demon form are a joke. Goodbye, Big-Face! ... For some reason resealing the Soul Binder and removing the Infected curse from Japan throws us into chaos and forfeits the rest of our Action Fans so that's it for Turn 129.

[Doom]

Turn 130 comes without an attack from the Demon Army. I do get a warning about the Tenma Bridge. Also... I just noticed that Rance lost his Draft Paper'd Stack increase. I think that'd be a bug from him losing a turn due to Soul Binder curse. What a drag! He's still over 3000 troops, though! We'll begin the turn by chatting with Kurohime after imposing a levy on the new province.



Rance will punish Kurohime for +5 Satisfaction.



And then we better go win the game. We attack twice and take 2/4 of the last province. Lots of actual Monster Comps with strong Stack but nothing we can't handle. The hardest part is waiting for weakened Monster Mages to finish casting their Lightning spells for no damage. Turn 130 ends and the Demon Army attacks twice. Bonk Bonk. Turn 131 begins. We attack once more for 3/4 then move in for the finish!











The Demon Army is defeated and can no longer organize for Army battles! We still need to confront Xavier on the Tenma Bridge... we impose a levy and search for a "mysterious temple."



Oh, we found Jusenkyo. The Sex Change Temple will allow you to transform your boring Generic Males into Loveable Females for Affection Clears. It should probably show up earlier in the game due to the odds that you won't be using any Generics by the time you take half of the Demon Army's land... we end Turn 131.

[Doom]

Omake!





And that's a Game Over. Fem-Rance is cute but no shark teeth?

Some between turn cutscenes and preparation for the final battle. We'll be finishing the game on Turn 132.






My final army:



Not perfect, I could easily dump Yukihime and Dasan for say, two more Takeda Lords or recruiting Mouri and Komatsu or for farming Agireda from an in-battle capture. But I've madly steam-rolled everything since like Turn 70 so who can complain? I have a well-balanced force and a lot of extras or best-in-class such as the Youkai Girls, Teru, Sanada, Uruza, Kenshin and Ieyasu. Rizna has proven incredibly useful with A-Cutter ever since we began fighting Monster troops(extra damage to Demon Army foes.) The Ranmaru/Katsuie combo is fantastic if you're unsure of which Character Clear to choose between the two of them. Kazemaru really becomes an incredible Warrior if you take the time to Textbook him up to 5s in stats before you recruit Hibachi for him. This'll put everything he has at 7s and tossing the Emperor Ring on him has made him as strong as say, Masamune. I got him to mostly 4s before I did it but straight 7s is great too. We didn't use Ikkyu as often as we could have but he still got us that early Takeda win that denied the Blitz and he still has Witty Comeback charges left if we ever needed them for some reason.

Overall a fantastic army, I probably could have beaten the game at a higher difficulty easily enough. I've more than beaten all of the goals I set for myself. If I had 20 turns to spare I might kill Orochi in this LP but I'll probably have to backtrack to an earlier save. It's doable since Xavier won't summon Ishij until you take close to half of his original land in the former Shimazu region. I was able to uncurse Mouri and have a foursome with his daughters, defeat Masamune and seduce all of his wives and even get some extra Score boosters like "Have 30,000+ Troops" and "H 300+ Women."



Every time you conquer a province Rance will run around and screw a bunch of random generics off-screen. You also boost it with H scenes, of course. My total score is 68 which is going to be a metric fuck-ton of New Game+ bonuses next time I feel like playing Sengoku! Kill the Monkey is 10 points, items are 2-5 a piece, Bonus Characters are 10-30 for a set, etc. Feels good man. My Score is very high due to my Character Clears, the passives for Clear Bonus, getting so many optional Score boosters and because I visited the Carnival all 5 times(+15 total.)

We're going to slay Xavier this turn but if you wait another turn the last Shimazu brother will lead a suicide charge on Tenma Bridge and die. Farewell, Shimazu Bros! If you wait 2 turns after that... the Bridge collapses and Game Over.

[jsnlxndrlv]

I take it higher difficulties prevent you from using Suzume to postpone the Bridge collapse?

[Doom]

I dunno? I didn't see an option for it. I'm on the next difficulty up from Normal. The 5 turn limit is pretty generous for that stage of the game anyway as you'll already have nearly half of Xavier's land.

[jsnlxndrlv]

This may only appear in Morocco during the Final Day, now that I think about it. You can use it over and over again to postpone the end indefinitely, and the FAQ doesn't say anything about it being confined to Normal mode, so it might be worth investigating if you want to kill Orochi.

[Brentai]

Rance looking exactly like Nobunaga's dead wife makes the whole "drunkenly handing over the entire kingdom" thing a bit more sensical.
