Like its processor, the new game picks up in 16th century Japan during the aftermath of the Onin War. The battles between rival Shoguns have devastated the country and left the capital of Kyoto in ruins. Competing warlords in control of small pockets of power are each striving to obtain the blessing of the central emperor and legitimize their rule of the entire land. The player takes on the role of one of eight of these warlords, each with a unique starting position and different political and military strengths. Some may be located on remote islands that are rich in resources but far from opportunities. Others might be in the thick of the action immediately and able to use unique samurai units to carve out a more secure portion.

Teaser here
This pleases the Macbeth.

Returning to mostly melee focused combat will be good. I loved Rome, love Medieval 2, but didn't really like Empire much at all.

I never played Empire (apart from the demo at a friends house) and went straight to Napoleon... Napoleon was by far my least favourite. Did you play that?
