Preface
Preface
Sengoku Dynasty is a game that will take you on your way from
a simple castaway to the head of a village and leader of an im-
pressive dynasty.
While we‘re still in the Early Access phase of the game at the
moment, we have no doubt that the developers at Superkami
will only make the game better and more extensive.
We were able to accompany Sengoku Dynasty through its cre-
ation and development process and be there when a few good
ideas turned into a well-rounded and coherent game. With its
mix of RPG, survival and simulation, the game offers quite a lot
of material, which may awaken the desire for a reference book
in some people. And that‘s where we come in.
Moreover, this book aims to be a companion on your journey
through the game. It is a compendium of knowledge, a trusted
counselor, and a retrospective mirror reflecting the game‘s con-
tinuous evolution. We urge you to revisit these pages after each
major update, as the content will grow and adapt alongside
the game. Our hope is that you‘ll find the experience of playing
3
engoku Dynasty enriched by this book, making your journey
S
even more enjoyable and rewarding.
As you know, the game will be continuously updated during
Early Access to fix any bugs and improve the gameplay experi-
ence. As a result, slight discrepancies between the information
gathered here and future game versions may appear from time
to time (for example, if prices at merchants are adjusted in an
update to improve game balance). Like the game itself, this
book will get some updates in the future.
Some areas or explanations we have deliberately not included
in the book yet, because it is foreseeable that the correspond-
ing parts of the game will still change significantly - or they do
not exist yet. So it‘s best to check back from time to time :)
We last updated this book on 05/09/2023, incorporating most
of the changes from game versions 0.1.2 and 0.1.3. We are plan-
ning the next major update to the guide as soon as the Farming
Update is released.
And now have fun reading and browsing!

The Peasant Kingdom
The Peasant Kingdom

Welcome survivor! You have experienced the horrors of war
in your home province. The Sengoku period (ca. 1470 – 1600
AD) was one of the most warlike periods in Japan. Feudal lords
as well as samurai fought bloodily for power and influence.
Sufferers, as always, were the common people, like you (your
character).
You lost everything; nothing was keeping you in your old place.
You heard stories about a province where the peasants and
monks drove out the old lords and which is now called the
„Peasant Kingdom“. You take the dangerous journey, a long walk
and finally travel by fishing boat on the sea along the coast. A
storm, waves, capsizing boats and finally you reach the shore
with the last of your strength — are you at your destination?
12
The Game
1.1 The Game

In Sengoku Dynasty you can build a new existence in the fic-
tional Nata Valley. You build one or more villages, bring refu-
gees who, like you, have lost everything into your villages as
residents, set up work and production, and thus provide food,
shelter and protection for you and your people.
In addition to gathering food and resources, building houses
and workshops, and managing production, food, and the needs
of your villagers, you will also have to complete tasks (quests)
for the inhabitants of the Nata Valley in order to advance your-
self and your goals.
This is important to understand for the enjoyment of the

game: You and your fellow players are free to do anything
that you want to do. There is no „right“ way to play. You can
jump into building first, or you can explore the world first, or
you can work through the quests right away. Do what you
enjoy — there are no conditions required to do anything
at any particular time. You are only required to complete
certain tasks (especially quests) in order to unlock cooking
recipes and buildings.
What about creating a family?

After all, the Dynasty series thrives on creating
your own dynasty: find someone to spend your
life with, have children, watch them grow up,
and possibly even continue playing as a
descendant. This is also planned for Sen-
goku Dynasty, but it will only become
possible during the course of the EA.
How and to what extent — let yourself
be surprised!
13
The Peasant Kingdom
And what about combat and battles?

The Sengoku period was brutal and battle-heavy -
you may ask, can I fight in the game? The Dynas-
ty series doesn’t focus on combat, but defend-
ing your village will still
play a role. For now,
bows, spears, and the
like will only be used for
hunting. In the EA game you
will also be able to use a kata-
na (long sword) or an ashigaru armor
(ashigaru = lightly armed warrior from the
lower ranks - not a samurai, more like a war
servant). Later in the EA, bandits will make life
difficult for you and your villages, and you will
probably have to take up the sword as well.
And maybe there will be an even bigger threat.
Will there be agriculture?

There is no farming or livestock in the game
yet! Is that still to come? Yes, this is a big goal
during the EA phase! The other resource-gathering
areas will also be fleshed out.
14
Experience and Dynasty Legend
1.2 Experience and Dynasty Legend

As in many other RPG and survival games, in Sengoku Dynasty
you earn experience through your actions, which you can use
to unlock more items in the game. There are two different types
of experience:
Dynasty Legend
You can find your Dynasty Legend value in the game‘s Dynasty
screen. Specific values are required for certain unlocks:
» Dynasty Legend increases your maximum total population

(maximum population = dynasty legend plus 1).
» If you reach certain values, you will receive a bell from the
abbot of the monastery to be able to found another village
(currently a maximum of four villages).
» At certain values, new quests are unlocked.
» At certain values, your population has additional needs
(food, drinks and heating).
» At certain values, new building possibilities are unlocked.
Your dynasty legend increases by:
» successful completion of quests

» building and finishing special construction projects
The maximum usable value for Dynasty Legend is 20 at the be-
ginning of Early Access, but this value will surely increase. This
could then also partially shift the unlocks.

Experience and Dynasty Legend
Your own legend

In addition to dynasty legend, you gain experience in four
paths. In the Legend screen, you will find the four paths listed.
Through taking part in various activities, you gain experience
from each of them. Once you have gained enough experience,
you will receive an additional point in the respective path, which
you can use to unlock skills (Perks).
The four paths and the activities associated with each are:
» Way of the Leader:

solving quests and increasing your population
» Way of the Craftsman:
crafting items and constructing buildings
» Way of the Warrior:
using weapons (spears, katana and bows) and defeating
enemies
» Way of the Monk:
finding shrines of the kami and making offerings to them
17
The Peasant Kingdom
Once you have obtained an unlock point, you can use it to ac-
quire a skill in the respective path. For higher skills, some or all
of the lower skills must be unlocked first.
In the Way of the Monk, you do not get any unlock points, in-
stead you have to find every shrine of a kami if possible and
leave a suitable offering there. The more shrines you have given
offerings at, the longer the respective buffs of the shrines will
last.
1.3 Game Sections

Sengoku Dynasty can be roughly divided into three periods,
each with different aspects of the game:
Early Game
» Arriving on the beach and finding your way in the world.
» Scouting the area around the burned village of Sosogi.
» Gathering food and mining resources by yourself.
» Build the first village and complete the first quests for the
inhabitants around Sosogi.
» Unlock and learn basic buildings and items.
» This section ends around the time of finding the „Demon
Woman“.
Middle Game
This section begins once you get permission from the abbot
of the monastery to recruit more people for your villages and
receive your second bell. Up until this point, you have not been
able to recruit any villagers other than Ako and Sayuri.
» Find wanderers in the world and invite them to your villages.

» Assign the new inhabitants to dwellings and workplaces that
you have previously built.
18
Game Sections
» Manage your villages, expand them and make sure they pro-
duce the items you need.
» You must now meet the needs of your inhabitants (food,
drinks and firewood for heating) by having these items avail-
able in sufficient quantities in the dynasty warehouses. You
can have your inhabitants produce the resources or produce
them yourself or buy them and then store them.
» Find the three other villages in the Nata Valley, talk to their
inhabitants, complete quests for them and get new con-
struction plans:
Segi: a village of woodcutters and hunters south of Sosogi.
Iwasaki: a village of miners and metalworkers east of Sosogi.
Aratani: a village of farmers and agriculture southeast of Segi. (The vil-
lage of Aratani and farms and agriculture are not yet available at the be-
ginning of the EA!)
» Explore the whole map, find all the shrines and places of
power, find caves and mines, and do special construction
projects.
This is where the game takes you in Early Access, and it will
start to grow even more at this point (so farming and agricul-
ture should be an urgent item on the EA list for Superkami‘s
developers).
Late Game
Not yet available in the EA!
» You have now explored the map and already built some vil-
lages or outposts. So slowly it‘s time to look for a life partner
and make way for new generations.
» A new threat casts its shadow over the valley — you must do
something about it!
19
The Peasant Kingdom
1.4 Multiplayer
Sengoku Dynasty can be played together by up to four people
in multiplayer. This way you don‘t start your adventure in the
Peasant Kingdom alone. You and your fellow players only have
to decide beforehand who will host the game. The host starts
the game, loads the save file and allows the others to join.
Generally, you can enter multiplayer mode by selecting „Play in
co-op“ from the main menu.
Creating a co-op game

As the host, you are responsible for setting up the game. To
create a game in co-op, you need to select „Host Server“ from
the multiplayer menu. In the following menu, you can then ei-
ther use one of your existing game saves or create a new one.
Only the host can save the game in multiplayer. So, the
same player has to create the server every time you want
to use a game save.
After you have selected the game save, you can still give the
server a name and set up a password by setting the server to
private. A non-private server can be joined by any other player.
If you want to give only friends access to the server, you should
set a password that your friends can then use to join. Clicking on
„Create server“ will do the rest.
Joining a co-op game

To join a game, you need to select the „Server Browser“ option
from the menu. Here you will see a list of all servers. Search for
the server of the host you want to play with and select it. If the
host has given you a password, you will need to check the „Pri-
vate“ box at the bottom of the menu and enter the password in
the bar that appears. Now you can join the server.
20
Multiplayer
Tip: If the server does not appear in the list, you can refresh the
list with the button at the bottom of the menu. Sometimes it
takes a moment before the server is displayed.
Special features in multiplayer

For multiplayer, there are a few tips that we would like to share
with you. The game you play in multiplayer is essentially the
same as in single-player. All players have equal rights and can
accept and hand in quests. In all cases, you share the quest
progress with the other players. So, when someone completes
a quest, it applies to everyone. But only the person who turns
in the quest gets the rewards for it. You can read through the
quest dialogs together with your fellow players. If the first play-
er has interacted with the NPC, the others can also interact to
read along while the first one does the dialogue. The first player
even has the option to invite the others into the dialogue during
important interactions. All players will then receive a message
on the right side of their screens and can teleport to the quest
point to read along.
For certain actions, all players must participate. For example,
to change to the next season at the bell tower or to sleep, all
players must perform the action. If you and your teammates
ever need to get together for an action, you can always find
each other using the compass at the top of the screen or on the
map. There, the other players are marked with different colored
icons. If you are nearby, you can also see the symbols above the
heads of the other players.
You are allies in co-op — so you can‘t attack other players. This
also means you don‘t have to worry about accidentally hitting
one of your fellow players in battle when things get particularly
chaotic. The goal is to work together to build a new life in the
Peasant Kingdom.
In co-op, you‘ll also share storage facility resources, and to-
gether you‘ll have a population limit of 50, and together you can
21
The Peasant Kingdom
build as many villages or outposts as you have bells. So, players

don‘t each build a village by themselves, but share the available
resources. Once you have four bells, each of the four players
could build their „own“ village, but each player has access to
each village/building, and you still share the total population of
50 residents maximum!

The First Year

In this chapter, we‘ll explain the most important tasks you
should complete in the first year of the game as well as provide
you with tips and tricks to master even the most difficult parts.
At the end of this chapter, you will find information that is use-
ful for playing in multiplayer mode.
2.1 Arriving on New Shores

You were able to leave the war behind, even if your arrival in the
Peasant Kingdom turned out differently than you had hoped.
Your wooden boat was wrecked by the cliffs.
On a spring evening , you stand alone on the beach with no be-
longings, wondering how you‘re going to find your footing here.
At least you were lucky and don‘t seem to be too badly injured.
But the most important thing is that you are still alive! You look
at the wreckage of your boat — all your belongings seem lost.
24
Arriving on New Shores
All beginnings are difficult

But as you take a closer look, you discover some valuable items
in the remains of your boat and in the crates lying around to get
you started:
» Stone knife » Stick » Raw fish

» Wood torch » Firewood » Water
» Plank (conifer) » Sake
Collected and crafted items are stored in your inventory.
Assign the items you want to have at hand quickly to the
quick slots. You can assign them by pressing the respec-
tive number on your keyboard. Crafted items are automat-
ically assigned to the first free quick slot. You can also eat
your food via your inventory.
These objects shall prove very useful for you. If

night falls, the wood torch will serve as a source
of light for you to continue on your way. There
are also a lot of sticks and stones lying around,
which can be easily collected. If you take a lot of
them now, you won‘t have to worry about craft-
ing your initial items with them for a long time.
Later, you‘ll be making tools for cutting down trees
and mining rock deposits to get more resources at
once. For now, though, the raw materials you can
find on the ground will be enough for you.
25
The First Year
The search for survivors

You head southeast, hoping to meet more survivors.
A path that leads you through a kind of stone gate is lined with
plants, which you should also collect:
» Bushes: provide you with sticks

» Gobo plants: food source, item for a quest
» Eulalia grass: by drying it with the handcrafting tool, it can
be turned into straw, which you will soon need for making
torches or a tent
» Wineberry bushes: nourishing and healing properties
On the beach, you already spot
Ako, your fellow traveler — or
rather, fellow stranded person.
She seems to be injured.
26
Finding your inner center

But before you rush to her aid on the
beach (don‘t worry, she‘ll survive), you
climb the mountain to discover the
place of power at the cliffs. A place of
power lined with stone towers catches
your attention. You sit down and can
find your center again by meditating,
for which you receive a buff that gives
you +10 to your maximum stamina
until the end of spring. Each season
you have the opportunity to unlock this buff again, which you
should take advantage of (The places of power may be inactive
until the spirituality has been overhauled in the EA phase!).
Also, right near the meditation circle is a kami shrine dedicated
to Jizō. Stay north/northeast and follow the stone towers to
reach it. You don‘t have to visit the shrine yet, since you don‘t
have the chrysanthemums that you need as an offering. But at
least now you know where it is.
27
The First Year
You descend the mountain again to look for Ako. Again, useful
resources can be found in the remains of the boat:
» Cranberries
» Bamboo bottle
» Wood torch
» Bucket
Items can be discovered by targeting them, show-
ing you the name and how to interact with them.
If necessary, you will also be shown in orange
text which tool is required for mining or harvest-
ing, in the case that your bare hands are not
sufficient. In addition, you can see what you
will get by using the tools. For example, to
cut down a tree you need an axe, which you
have to craft beforehand. When you pro-
cess logs, the choice of your tool matters;
you can find more information about this in
Chapter 4.1 Resources.
While walking, move the

crosshairs over the ground in
a searching manner, similar
to a divining rod, so that you
don’t miss any objects.
28
Craft your first items

The injured Ako turns to you for help, asking you to start a
campfire and build a tent, so you can familiarize yourself with
each item and learn what you can use them for. First, you‘ll
make a stone axe, and then you‘ll cut down your first tree. All
tools will wear out through use until they eventually break and
disappear from your inventory. In such a case, simply make a
new copy of it. If the quick slot of this item has not been used in
the meantime, the same place will be used again for the same
tool — so your shortcuts will not change.
Next, you‘ll make one of the most basic items in the game, the
hammer, which will allow you to open the construction menu.
This is used to build structures, make furnishings and deco-
rations, as well as to demolish what you‘ve built, but without
getting any material back. Chapter 4.4 explains this procedure
in detail.
29
The First Year
2.2 Finding a New Home

Ako‘s quest line directs you to the nearby burned village of
Sosogi, where you will start your new life.
At the destroyed bell tower, you‘ll meet Toshichi, who you‘ll

ask for advice. Through him, you‘ll learn some interesting facts
about the area and the people who live here. Later you‘ll assist
him in quests, which is how you‘ll learn about the basic game
mechanics of Sengoku Dynasty.
Collect, collect, collect

Remember to always harvest resources, such as grass and
food, and collect stones along your way. These will come in
handy in the beginning. Also, if you come across nests of eggs
or yellow chrysanthemums, take some with you. You will need
them in later quests. In general, be bold and steal items from
people‘s houses and loot their chests. Useful tools, such as an
iron axe or Chiyome‘s healing balm and anesthetic are waiting
for you. You will also be able to find numerous food items. These
will help you stay afloat in the first period and replenish your
green bar. Wineberries and mushrooms are available almost
everywhere. Remember: a hungry villager is also a sluggish
30
Finding a New Home
villager, who lacks the energy for his tasks because his stomach
is constantly grumbling. Still, you are a collector, who should al-
ways keep his eyes open! You also have access to your invento-
ry via the chests standing around and can store items in them if
you run out of space.
Found your first village

Once you‘ve arrived in the village — or what‘s left of it — your
work as builder and mayor begins in order to build a new life.
Soon after arriving, you should definitely demolish the burned
remains. These not only provide you with a lot of space for
building but also a lot of resources, such as planks, charcoal
and sticks, which you would otherwise have to laboriously mine
by hand. Only in the case of logs do you have no choice but to
cut them down yourself — but that will also change over time.
The most important building of a dynasty is the bell tower,

which you will build before anything else. Only by using it will
you be able to found new villages and thus construct buildings.
It also serves as a fast travel point between the villages.
31
The First Year
In addition, you can let the cur-

rent season end in order to finish a
season early and start a new one. A
season lasts a minimum of two and
a maximum of four days. The bell
tower could also help you to com-
plete quests faster. Later, you will
assign jobs to villagers to get more
resources, more quickly. The fruits
of your villagers‘ labor will only be
harvested at the end of each season
and placed in the appropriate dynas-
ty warehouses.
Once the bell tower is construct-
ed, you‘ll be able to construct other
buildings as well. In the building
menu, you will see that a lot of the buildings are still locked,
which you can tell by the lock symbol. As you complete quests,
more buildings and items will gradually be unlocked. With your
achievements also comes experience, which earns you points
that you can use in the Legend tab to upgrade skills and get
permanent buffs. Always keep an eye on this!
You are very free in what you do in Sengoku Dynasty.

Decide for yourself whether you want to tackle the initial
quests first or start directly with the construction of build-
ings. There is no pressure and you don’t have to achieve
anything within a certain time. Have fun and enjoy the first
steps on the way to your new dynasty!
32
Finding a New Home
Build your first house

Right at the beginning, you will be asked to build a small house.
Here you will also have the opportunity to prepare raw food
over the sunken hearth. Theoretically, you could also eat food
raw — but keep in mind that this can also lead to food poisoning
symptoms. In the inventory, you‘ll get more information about
the individual items and learn what you can use them for and
whether mushrooms are edible, for example.
Use the hammer to open the building menu and place the
foundation of your house — the green coloring shows you
which places are suitable for it. Then you add more materi-
als by hammering until it‘s finished. You may run out of raw
materials during construction and have to get them first. As
soon as you put the hammer back in, your shell will fade out.
But don‘t worry, as soon as you pick up the hammer again, the
building will reappear. And if it gets too dark, light a w
ooden
torch. You can also easily craft a new one by hand if your
torch goes out.

The First Year
2.3 Helping Builds Trust

Quite early on, you‘ll be given the task of helping the people
around you in order to gain their trust. You can choose which
quest you want to pursue at the moment in the menu, under
Quests. Through the quests, you will learn to cook and hunt,
explore the surroundings of your village and will receive your
first shrine buff.
Invite your first villager

Generally, the order doesn‘t matter, but it‘s a good idea to start
with Recruitment quests as soon as your first house is up. The
quest tasks you with inviting your first villager to your village.
Here you will bring Ako, your fellow stranded person, into your
village by assigning her a house and a place to sleep in the
Dynasty tab.
She will need something to eat. Build a food storage and fill it
with any type of food. Now is also the time to assign her a job.
As mentioned earlier, logging is done by hand. Therefore, it is a
good idea to build a woodcutter’s hut, a general storage and
a wood storage right now. The bamboo plants needed for the
camp can be found at the Miko’s house under the blossoming
cherry trees when you leave the village on the way east. At the
carpentry station, which is set up automatically, you can make
wooden objects, such as planks, from logs. By the way, at the
34
Helping Builds Trust
station, you get six planks from one log, instead of only three
with the stone axe.
Later, when your village has more inhabitants, you will have to
supply them drinks from the water storage. For the time being,
however, you can do without this building. For more information
on building a village and how to assign jobs, see Chapter 5.
Live or let die

The next task is to make a decision about life and death in The
Impure Man. Old Hikobei has poisoned himself with mush-
rooms to end his life and no longer be a burden to his family.
Now it‘s up to you to decide whether to give him an antidote
made of gobo roots, which will give him a small chance of
survival, or to give him another remedy made of chrysanthe-
mums, which will ease his suffering. Decide freely, but you do
not need to worry — your choice will not have any serious con-
sequences on the course of the game.
The other two quests will take you east out of the village. Do
you already have an egg in your inventory? If not, follow the
path around the village to the east, from there you can spot a
nest with eggs on the left side under the cherry trees on a rock.
35
The First Year
Paying tribute to Inari

In The Tranquil Tribute quest, you will visit a kami shrine and
receive the boon of +10% to your sprint speed by paying hom-
age to the benevolent fox goddess Inari. This effect is tem-
porary and will disappear after a certain amount of time. The
time remaining for the effect is shown in the Legend tab under
Monk. There are also many bamboo plants growing around the
shrine.
Help with the hunt

During the Territorial Defence quest, you will also have the
opportunity to test your hunting skills on targets before it is
time to put your hunting skills to the test. For hunting, it‘s best
to craft several wooden yari (wooden spears) at once. A stone
knife for skinning animals can be saved from your belongings
on the beach or you can craft it. Hares can be killed with one
spear throw; for deer, you have to hunt them down with several
of these hunting weapons or chase them for a longer time after
a hit. While hunting, it’s recommended to keep several wood-
en yari in your quick slots so that you are well prepared. It also
works well to sneak up on the animals—when sneaking you‘ll
36
The Year is Coming to an End
get much closer to them before

they notice you. If you stay calm
while aiming and pay attention
to the line that shows you the
trajectory, it is much easier to
kill animals. By the way, don‘t be
intimidated by the curmudgeon
Kengyō and definitely take the
items lying around in his man-
sion, such as feathers and Sim-
ple Arrows. After completing this
quest, the hunting lodge will be
unlocked for building.
2.4 The Year is

Coming to an End
Once you have completed all of these quests, your path will
then lead you further into the valley and you will encounter a
new face — your second villager, Sayuri.
Building bridges
In the Road to Renewal quest, Sayuri will join your village only
on the condition that you rebuild the bridge to the east. To do
this, build a Special Project Construction Workshop near the
bridge and then assign this job to Sayuri in the dynasty menu
37
The First Year
under Population. The bridge will be completed after the next

season change, and you can then assign Sayuri to new jobs.
Now talk to Toshichi and you will receive another quest, new
clothes and the tailor workshop will be unlocked as a thank you.
Now you are supposed to drive away a demon woman who has
supposedly been sighted near the village. You can optionally
ask the Jizamurai Kengyō or go directly to the quest marker.
There you will find a woman with a Tengu mask at the campfire,
with whom you can talk. This is followed by a video sequence
that concludes your first steps in Sengoku Dynasty. You now
know everything you need to know for the game.
In this new phase of the game, you will go to the temple to get
permission from the abbot to recruit villagers from outside and
found more villages. You can find new villagers on the map as
markers. Go to them and invite them to your settlement. You
can now explore the rest of the map, visit existing villages, trade
and learn there, and build more villages and special projects
yourself. We wish you continued fun in the Nata Valley!
38
The Year is Coming to an End
More villagers — more needs

When the third NPC villager will come to your village, you will
have to satisfy the new needs of your fellow villagers by build-
ing a water storage and filling it with water by using buckets
of water from a well. For the construction of the water storage,
you will need a lot of straw, which you can collect in heaps east
of the village. You can have a villager do this task at the well
(„crafting station“ for water). Don‘t forget to place a bucket in
the General Storage for the worker to use. For crafting
buckets, you will need to build a woodworking
table in your woodcutter‘s hut.
The more inhabitants your dy-
nasty has, the more varied and
higher their needs will be.
You can now explore the rest
of the map, visit existing vil-
lages, trade and learn there, and
build more villages and special projects
yourself. We hope you continue to enjoy
the Nata Valley!

The First Year
2.5 Multiplayer Notes

If you don‘t start your journey alone, there are a few things
you should keep in mind. Especially in the beginning, food can
quickly become scarce in multiplayer. You and your teammates
should look for something to eat as soon as possible. In the
beginning, there is an abundance of hares behind the burnt vil-
lage, you can hunt there to get some meat. Also, remember that
only one of you will receive the respective quest rewards when
a quest is completed.
It is important to take care of all the players at all times. You
will need a place for each player to sleep. However, you don‘t
necessarily need to build a house for everyone. If you want to
be frugal, you can build tents in the village. In the area around
the bell tower, the Basic Structures do not disappear, and you
can sleep there as well. If you decide to build several houses
immediately, it will be more expensive at the beginning, but you
will have more lodging ready for later when you can invite new
residents. Either way, you need enough sleeping places for all
players, because all players have to sleep to skip the nights.
Some things are easier in multiplayer, though. Together you can
mine materials faster, construct buildings, and divide up other
tasks. Also, certain objects like workbenches only need to be
built once and can then be used by everyone. If you play to-
gether, you‘ll be able to complete many steps faster.

The
Nata
Valley
41
The Nata Valley
The Nata Valley

After being shipwrecked, you wake up in the Nata Valley. It is
known as „the peasant kingdom“; a place where there is no war,
but where there is order and hierarchy. There is a lot to discover
in the valley - and more and more will be added as Early Access
progresses. So consider this chapter a small taste of what‘s to
come, rather than a complete overview.
3.1 Seasons in the Valley

Time in the game progresses not only in days and nights, but
the seasons change as well. A season lasts a minimum of 2
and a maximum of 4 days. Starting from the third day, you can
switch the season at any time at one of your bell towers. Then
the day ends immediately and you wake up in the next season
in your bed inside your house (no matter where you were be-
fore!). On the 4th day of a season, this happens automatically at
midnight.
42
Seasons in the Valley
When the season changes, this is what happens:

» The new season starts and you have 2-4 days in this season
again.
» Weather and nature changes according to the season.
» Plants grow according to their season (e.g. wineberries on
bushes are only available in summer and autumn).
» Your workers produce goods according to your settings and
deliver them to the respective storage buildings. (If the cor-
responding building is available in the village).
» Your inhabitants consume goods according to their needs,
as far as they are available in the storage buildings (e.g.
food, water or wood).
» The production takes place before need consumption! So
the required items for needs can be produced and then con-
sumed immediately!
» The happiness of your villagers increases or decreases. The
experience of your workers increases.
» Repeatable quests are reset and are available again (e.g. at
the herbalist Mata in Sosogi).
» Special projects under construction, such as bridges or
watchtowers, are completed and a short video about them
is played. Note that larger construction projects can take
several seasons to complete!
» All Basic Structures like tents, campfires and tawara bags
outside of your villages will expire and disappear (including
their contents!).
» At the start of Early Access there is no respawn of felled
trees or collected resources like Gobo or Chrysanthemums
yet. But this will follow in the course of the EA!
» Seasonal quests that have not yet been completed are con-
sidered unfinished.
43
The Nata Valley
» Old random encounters and random locations in the world

will disappear and new ones will be generated. (e.g. mer-
chants camping in the countryside or beggars at shrines).
» Merchants stock up their inventory and receive new money.
» Items in the world that were randomly generated disappear
and new ones are created.
Before a change of season, you should therefore think

about the following things and check them again. The most
important things are shown in the summary at the turn of
the year:
• Do all villagers have shelter and a bed?
• Do all able-bodied villagers have a job and produce
goods? (Job assigned?, Tools provided? Type and quan-
tity of goods set?)
• Are sufficient supplies for villagers‘ needs available in
dynasty storages or being produced?
• Is the desired quantity set when consuming needs
(Normal or Optimal)?
• Have you emptied all the tawara bags outside the
villages?

The Nata Valley
3.2 Villages and Places
Sosogi
The first village you set foot in as a newly stranded person is

the burned village of Sosogi. Here you can revive the ruins that
have degenerated into coal from the ashes with patience and
hard work. Remove the burnt houses, boxes and trees with an
axe and you‘ll get some resources and you‘ll have plenty of flat
space for new constructions.
Important people here:

Tōshichi: Your most important quest giver at the beginning of
the game.
Mata: The herbalist has a new quest for you every season.
Ako: Your childhood friend Ako, who lies nearby on the beach,
can become your first villager.
46
Villages and Places
Sayuri: Will become your second villager and

help you rebuild the bridge near Sosogi.
Special building projects nearby:

» Small bridge south of the village.
» Watchtower east of the village up the
mountains.
Nearby shrines:
» Shrine of Inari east-southeast above the
village.
» Shrine of Jizō north-northeast of the village. Above
the beach where Ako is stranded.
Interesting locations nearby:

The beach where you washed up is north of Sosogi. On the cliffs
above the beach you will find a place of power to meditate.
Important resources nearby:

All basic resources can be found quickly and easily around
Sosogi. For special resources you have to go further inland!
47
The Nata Valley
Iwasagi
Iwasagi is a village where mainly mining work is done. There are

several slaves there to whom the hardest work is given. It is not
uncommon for accidents to occur. The inhabitants of Iwasagi
and Segi do not seem to get along well. In Iwasagi you can learn
a lot about iron processing.

An Dong: A Korean slave from whom you can learn the most
important things about ironworking.
Saburobei: The village chief and owner of the mine.
Magojiro: Ironmongery merchant
Yoichi: Food trader

Several bridge construction projects in the area.
48
Villages and Places
Nearby shrines:
» A Jizō shrine just as you exit the village into the forest.
» Follow the stream into the pond area to an Ebisu shrine.
The mansion of the village head just above the village is worth a
visit.

The mine in the village also allows you to mine iron.
49
The Nata Valley
Segi
In Segi, everything revolves around the processing of wood.

Numerous woodcutters are employed here, supplying the whole
Nata Valley with it. They welcome strangers and sell a little of
their wood to Iwasagi - but not as much as they once did. You
can also learn a lot about hunting and some new building reci-
pes in the village.

Fujiuchi: Merchant and bow maker, but also teaches you a lot
about hunting and bow making.
Aki: Fujiuchi‘s sister trades in furs.
Ofuji: Runs the tavern and deals in food.
Genza: Sells goods for woodcutters.

A bridge building site just near the village.
50
Villages and Places
Nearby shrines:
Cross the big bridge in the village and follow the bigger path on
the right up the hillside and you will find a shrine of
Kannon.

Following the path to the shrine, there is a
small cemetery on the hill with a place of
power.

As expected, much forest with trees, cor-
responding plants (berries and mush-
rooms) and much huntable game, such
as wild boars.
51
The Nata Valley
Aratani
In Aratani, fields are cultivated and thus it is an important sup-

ply center of the valley for food. In addition, the inhabitants are
very reserved and suspicious of strangers. However, once you
gain their trust, you can learn a lot about agriculture from them.
Aratani has unfortunately been abandoned and deserted at
the moment - the houses are gone and the fields forsaken.
However, Aratani will be brought back to life later in the EA!

Nearby shrines:
Nearby is a shrine of Ebisu idyllically located between several
ponds.

The rice field with its irrigation system is always worth a visit.

The fields of Aratani have spread and so you can find many
plants and herbs here to harvest.
53
The Nata Valley
Enjirō-mura
The fighters who stayed behind during the Enjirō rebellion and
could not or would not return to their home villages after the
successful uprising have created a safe shelter here. Outside,
two watchtowers dominate the area, but the actual camp is
found in the two caves in the mountain. On the mountainside
you will find the grave of their hero Enjirō, where his son often
stands guard. The group likes to think of themselves as Ikki
(group of insurgents), but whether they are anything more than
a band of bandits is debatable.

Tokuko: Chief of the troupe, can be found in the lower cave.
Atarō: The son of the hanged rebel leader Enjirō.
Wakasa: Food and drink merchant in the cave.
Shichirō: General merchant in the cave.
54
Villages and Places

on the nearby island
Nearby shrines:
A picturesque shrine of Ryujin is located
on the nearby island.
On the top of the mountain where Enji-
rō-mura is located, one can find a shrine of
Jizō.

Follow the beach further south and you will see a
large island suitable as a building site for a small
island outpost.

Even further south of the large island you will find a
construction site for an iron mine. (Not yet buildable
at the start of the EA!)
55
The Nata Valley
Jōrin-ji temple - the Honganji monastary
The temple was built by Master Shinran and now the monastery
is run by Abbot Joen, who lives there with his wife and neph-
ews. You will also find Iko-Ikki fighting monks
there, who carry out the orders of Abbot Joen.

Joen: The abbot of the monastery and your
contact if you want to get new village
bells.
Myōkai: Warrior monk who also sells you
weapons, armor and tools.
Chacha: Merchant and innkeeper of the
tavern outside the monastery walls.
Akose: Trader of rare goods, such as
kami statues.
56
Villages and Places

» A large bridge that allows quick access to
the monastery.
» On the way to the monastery you can build a
guard tower.
Nearby shrines:
North at the foot of the monastery hill, across
the river, a shrine in a pond.

» Right at the tavern outside the monastery
you will find many beggars‘ huts. There you
will often find one to three traveling beggars.
» A lookout tower just below the monastery
» Southwest below the tavern you will find a large
graveyard.
57
The Nata Valley
Kengyō’s hunting estate
Following the path southeast of Sosogi, past the house of the

shrine servant Chiyome, you reach an idyllically situated estate.
The nice little hunting lodge was built by the Jizamurai Kengyō.
The right place for his passion for hunting. To the north, one can
find numerous hares and deer in the wide open countryside.
The houses are picturesquely constructed above a small stream
that rises in a nearby small cave.

Kengyō: Whether the jizamurai is important or not is another
matter, but the conversations about his wife are entertaining.

None
58
Villages and Places
Nearby shrines:
» The Inari Shrine of Sosogi is easily acces-
sible from here.
» On top of the mountain southeast of
the estate is a Jizō shrine (EA not yet
usable).

Just below the mansion runs a stream. Follow it
upstream and you will find a small cave. On the
other side of the creek not far from the cave is
a place where you can find wandering mer-
chants or abandoned camps.

A hunting area for hares and deers slightly
east of the property.
59
The Nata Valley
The hot spring - Onsen
What would Japan be without its hot springs, the onsen and
the local baths? Of course, you can find one in Nata Valley.
Follow the path from Sosogi to Kengyo‘s hunting estate, and
from there continue east until you reach a forest. There a path
branches off to the north and leads you to the hot springs.

Kane: Runs the bathhouse and also sells food and sake. So have
a good time here!
Hana: She has suffered some strokes of fate and now lives
here. In return, she also keeps the bathhouse clean when she‘s
not too drunk to do so.

4.1 Gathering Ressources
Many different resources can be collected in the game which
serve as raw materials for crafting, cooking and building.
Some resources can be found on the ground and can be tak-
en simply by approaching them and pressing the appropriate
button.
This includes, among others:
» Stones » Eggs » Mushrooms

» Sticks » Plants
Other resources can only be mined with the help of certain tools
or may even have to be produced from other resources.
Stone, iron, clay and ice, for example, are found in the form
of small deposits in the Nata Valley and must be mined with a
pickaxe.
Other resources can only be obtained by hunting animals. You
can learn more about this in Chapter 6.1 Hunting.

4.2 Crafting
Rudimentary tools and items such as a wooden hammer, stone
axe, stone knife, stone pickaxe, as well as wood torch, wood yari
and straw, for which you mainly need stones, sticks, grass or logs,
can be crafted at any time in the crafting menu of your invento-
ry. Other objects, however, require special crafting stations to
make them. These are usually located in their associated build-
ings (production facilities).
74
Crafting
Production facilities
Production facilities are buildings that allow you to process raw
materials and resources. You can unlock them through quests.
Not all buildings are available in Early Access yet.
Here you can find a list of all production facilities and see what
you can produce at each station.
Note that in some buildings, individual workstations are already
built together with the house construction, but you can often
build additional or other workstations in these buildings later.
For example, the woodcutter’s hut is built including a car-

penter’s station and a woodworking table. However, you
can always build additional carpenter stations and wood-
working tables in the hut!
List of buildings with crafting stations:

Woodcutter‘s Hut (unlocked after building the first house)
» Buildable storage
Dynasty General Storage,
Dynasty Wood Storage
» Crafting stations
Carpentry Station (firewood, debarked log, plank, stick)
Woodworking Table (stirring tool, bucket, stone adze, stone axe, stone
pickaxe, wooden hammer, stone knife, wooden yari, wooden torch, fertil-
izer bucket, water bucket, oil lamp, calabash bottle, bamboo bottle, cala-

try Station as if you make them with a stone adze, i.e. six
boards instead of three.

Crafting
Make it yourself or have it made?

You can collect or craft all items yourself, but you can also have
villagers do these tasks for you. The advantage of collecting
and crafting items yourself is that you have the items at your
disposal immediately. The items collected and crafted by vil-
lagers can only be found in the storage facilities after a season
change!
You can see in the previous listing that you can build storage
facilities in each production facility. These are mainly for you to
use so you can quickly take resources from the shared dynasty
storage and put them back in, and they also serve as decoration.
The NPCs don‘t need these warehouses in the individual build-
ings because they take everything they need from the warehouse
buildings and the dynasty warehouses there and also store what
they craft there.
You can hire only one worker per initial workstation and one addi-
tional worker per each subsequently added workstation. A work-
er can choose up to four different goods to craft or collect. For
example, whether he produces only arrows or also wood torches
and stone knives at a hunter’s workbench in a hunting lodge is up
to you. If you want him to produce more than he can handle, you
can build a second hunter’s workbench if there is enough space
and assign another worker to it.
79
Survive and Craft
Goods produced by NPCs only enter the respective village

storage buildings at the end of a season!
The amount of goods a villager makes in a season depends on

both the tool and its effectiveness. You can read more about
this in Chapter 5.2 Managing workers.
4.3 Food and Cooking
Food
In nature, you can live off of the flora and fauna. You can collect
and harvest various foods, such as eggs, gobo, wineberries
and mushrooms.
In your inventory, you will find the freshness-time value for the
shelf life of the food. Make sure you eat or process the food in
time before it goes bad and becomes spoiled. Some food can be
cooked, which resets their shelf life and increases their nutri-
tional value.
In the list you will find all the aliments that nature has to offer
in the world of Sengoku Dynasty. The villagers in the forager’s
hut can help you collect some of them.

You can build a campfire and cook meat, eggs, fish and gobo.
If you build the campfire inside a village, you can also hire a
resident to prepare food there.
To cook in a house, you have to build an sunken hearth. There
you can cook the same food as at the campfire. Later in Early
Access, you will be able to build a sunken hearth and a camp-
fire with a cooking pot so that you and your villagers can cook
delicious food.

4.4 Building
If you want to build something in Sengoku Dynasty, you will
always need a hammer equipped. There are different hammers,
but the only difference between them is their durability. All
hammers can build any building or facility, but bet-
ter hammers last much longer. This
makes them well worth obtaining.
Hammers:
75 % 100 % 115 % 130 %
86
Building
Building categories
With the hammer equipped, you can open the construction
menu, which is initially divided into four broad categories:
» Under Basic Structures, you‘ll find objects like a tent, crate

trap for rabbits, or campfire, which are especially useful for
survival in the wilderness. But you can also find the special
project workshop here!
» Under Village Structures, you will find all objects of a village
that are not buildings, such as the bell tower, fences, wells, a
charcoal kiln or sheds.
» All housing, storage, service and production buildings can
be found under Buildings.
» In the Furniture category, you will find all the furniture that
can be placed in buildings, including storage containers and
workbenches.
» Under Decorations, you will find objects that you can use to
beautify your settlements, but most of them have no addi-
tional use except for lighting lamps.
» You can also demolish all objects and buildings by clicking
Demolish, but you won‘t get any materials back. Remember
that you can also move everything! If you’ve placed some-
thing incorrectly, you don‘t have to demolish it immediately!
Constructing buildings
Except for the Basic Structures, you can only build structures
inside one of your villages. The bell tower is the center of your
village and must always be built first. After the bell tower is
built, you can build buildings and decorations within a radius
around the tower.
Place buildings
Equip your hammer and choose the building you want to build
and place it on as flat a spot as possible.
87
Survive and Craft
If the building can be built there, the outline of the building is

shown in green. If something prevents the building, the outline is
shown in red. The reason why you can‘t build there is shown at the
bottom left of the screen!
Potential reasons that a building cannot be built can be:
» You are not in the village radius around one of your bell
towers.
» The terrain is too uneven.
» There is a resource on the site that prevents you from build-
ing (e.g., stone block, tree, clay) — remove the resource
completely and you can build there!
» A player, NPC or animal is in the way. Wait until they are out
of the way!
» You are in the radius of a foreign village or building (e.g., the
monastery).
If the building is shown in green and is standing in the desired
place, then click and the foundation and base of the planned
building will be set and shown in blue.
88
Building
If you put the hammer away, you will not see the planned
building anymore. Take the hammer out again and you will
see all planned buildings displayed in blue again!
Build the foundation and floor

Next, aim at the foundation with the equipped hammer. You will
now see 1–2 options depending on the building.
Press the Move button to move the building to another place.
For some buildings, you can now press the displayed Change
button to change the construction method. For example, you
can switch between stone and wooden foundations for resi-
dential buildings.
WARNING: This will also change the construction costs!
Just click with the hammer on the foundation to build it. You
must have the required resources in your inventory. The re-
sources you need are shown on the left side of the screen. You
can also build the floor afterwards.
89
Survive and Craft
Finishing the shell

Once the foundation is complete, you must now build each indi-
vidual wall section and any other components (e.g., stairs). Aim
at a wall part and click several times with the equipped hammer
to build it. As usual, you must have the required resources in
your inventory!
You will often be shown two more options when aiming at a wall
part:
» Press the Modify button and you can change the selected
wall piece. You can choose from different walls, windows
and doors. This change only applies to that particular wall
piece. You can change this at any time even if the house is
already finished, but you will have to rebuild the wall piece.
» Press the Change button and you can change the building
style of the whole house: you can choose the building style
with wood from coniferous trees, deciduous trees or pre-
mium coniferous trees. Depending on the type of wood, the
look of your house and the materials required to build it will
change. This change always affects the complete house!
90
Building
WARNING: You can also change this at any time later, but
then all previously built walls will have to be rebuilt!
Roofing
Once the walls are finished, the roof is next. Aim at the roof and
click on it with the equipped hammer to finish building it. For the
time being, there is only one option for roofing.
Build basic interior

You are not done just yet. Go in and around the house with your
hammer equipped. Depending on the building, you now have to
build some furnishings or production facilities as a base facil-
ity. These are shown in green with the hammer equipped: e.g.,
a bed and a fireplace in a house or the carpenter‘s station in a
lumberjack‘s hut. Click on them to build them.
Congratulations, your building is now finished and can be used
by you or your villagers.
At this point, you can add additional furnishings to the building.
91
Survive and Craft
Moving a building or interior

At any time, you can aim at the foundation of a building or a
fixture with an equipped hammer and then press the displayed
Move button.
You can now move everything to a new, legitimate location. So
demolishing is not necessary!
Damaged buildings and repair

In Early Access, buildings are not yet damaged and do not yet
need to be repaired!

Decoration and Interior Design
4.5 Decoration and Interior Design

This applies to all items and buildings: if they are built outside
of your own village, they will disappear at the start of the next
season. Decorations and items placed in or on other facilities
cannot be built on the ground or in any other place. The possi-
ble areas or positions where you can place them will be marked
in purple and green once you hold the hammer and select the
fixture.
Decoration
You can decorate your village with items from the Simple Build-
ings and Village Buildings categories. You can only build the
latter in your villages.
Light sources
With Basic Structures, you can put a Wooden Torch into the
ground, for this you must have some in your inventory. In the
Village Structures category, you can find different lanterns and
lamp stands under Village Light Structures. You have to hang
paper lamps or an oil lamp on the lamp stands. You can find four
93
Survive and Craft
different lamps in the Decorations section under Light Sourc-

es and hang them on the stands if they are in your inventory.
Defenses
In the Basic Structures section, you will find the Defensive
Structures category. There are abatis and barriers that you can
build to protect your village. You can also build these for protec-
tion if you have to sleep in the wilderness in a dangerous area.
In the Village Structures category, you‘ll find a wide variety of
Fences that you can build to beautify your village. Also, in the
Special Buildings category, you can build a Guard Tower to
give your village a fortress charm.
Religion
You can also build typical Shinto buildings in the village, such
as torii, tombstones, and shrines, which can be found under
Spiritual Village Structures. These can be well decorated with
stone lanterns.
Small buildings
This category can also be found under Village Structures. Here
you can build seats, signs, targets, troughs, gallows and carts.
Unfortunately, the carts are not drivable. The target is a large
pile of straw to which you can attach a target, which you can
find in the Decoration Items section. In the Training Pells cat-
egory, you can build various sword training stands.
In the Basic Structures category, you can also find Tawara
Containers, in which you can store your own items — these can
be placed in your village.
94
Decoration and Interior Design
Interior design
Home furnishings
Under Furniture, you will find, among other things, house fur-
nishings. Here you can find additional and better beds, bags,
floor lamps, bamboo pads on which you can place decorative
elements, and additional hearths. Use the hammer to custom-
ize and improve existing beds and hearth. Press the indicated
Move button to move the elements, and the Modify button to
change the setup. For example, a simple sleeping mat can be
transformed into a more comfortable tatami bed, which will
surely please the residents.
Under Containers, you can build a tawara bag in which you can
place your own items. The bag is not connected to the dynasty
camps. By the way, you can build the bags anywhere and any-
time — however, keep in mind they will be destroyed when the
season changes if they are placed outside your village.
Interior decoration
95
Survive and Craft
In the Decoration Items section, you can find small decorative

items like sake bottles and weapon racks for
your houses. You can choose to place short
bows, wooden yari and katana on them. The
weapons must be in your inventory to place
them on a stand.
You can hang paper wall banners on both the
interior and exterior walls. You can also attach
wall mounts for lamps and torches to the
pillars under wall decorations and hang oil
lamps and torches from the menu light sourc-
es. Again, you can only hang them if you have
them in your inventory.
Any item from your inventory that you can drop on the
ground with T can be used as decoration, both outside and
inside. You‘ll have to „play around“ a bit if you want items
in very specific positions, though. Some items, like the
woodworking table, can only be placed in the designated
grids — with these, free placement is blocked.
Furnishing Tetris
Especially in the case of production facilities, make sure that you
use the available space for furnishings wisely. Place worksta-
tions and storage containers in the right places to save space.
96
Special construction projects
4.6 Special construction projects

On the map, you will sometimes find small places or destroyed
structures that are surrounded by a rope. These are special
construction projects like bridges or lookout towers. Each com-
pleted special construction project earns you one point in the
Dynasty Legend section. In addition, bridges allow you to reach
places that were difficult to reach before.
As soon as you discover such a place, it will be marked with an
icon on the map.
If you want to start the building project, you have to build the
Special Project Construction Workshop nearby from the
building menu under Basic Structures. You must then add the
necessary materials to the finished special project building.
Aim at the building and press the displayed buttons to add the
appropriate materials from your inventory.
97
Survive and Craft
Only exactly the required resources can be used. A

debarked log is not the same as a log!
Only now can villagers build the project. You can assign this
task to your villagers as a job in a production facility! Look at
the finished workshop to see how many craftsmen are needed.
Each icon represents a craftsman. Once a craftsman is as-
signed, the icon will turn white. Work will not begin until all the
necessary craftsmen have been assigned.
This can take anywhere from one to several seasons. If the

project was completed at the season change, a small movie
sequence will play.
Don’t forget to assign a different job to the villager

afterwards!

5.1 Building a Village
In Sengoku Dynasty, you have the opportunity to build several
villages and name them as you wish. There are several points
you should consider from when you found a village, all of which
can be found here.
Bell tower
The bell tower is the center of each village and defines the
framework in which a maximum of 30 buildings can be built
per village. The bell tower also serves as a fast travel point be-
tween your own villages and the ones you have already visited.
You have to pay for each fast travel.
Every village you want to found first needs a bell tower and of
course you need a village bell for that. You‘ll get the first bell in
Sosogi, the burned village, so that you can rebuild it; you‘ll get
the other bells after completing quests. When you have met the
130
Building a Village
requirements, you‘ll be asked to go to the temple to ask the

abbot for another bell. However, the maximum number of
buildings you can build in your dynasty does not change
and remains at a maximum of 50. Also, a tower cannot
be built too close to another one, regardless
of whether it has already been completed or
still is in creation mode („ghost“). Further-
more, it doesn‘t make a difference if it
is a self-built tower or the tower of an
NPC village. The bell tower should
be placed in the middle of a flat
terrain, otherwise you will have
problems erecting buildings later.
You cannot demolish a bell tower once
it is built, but you can change its position
as long as you don’t place it within the current village frame-
work. However, you can only move it without blocking it if the
new position does not overlap with the old one. In the Dynasty
tab, you can choose a symbol and a name for each of your vil-
lages, which you can change at any time.
The icon is important so that you can later distinguish

your villagers and their jobs in the menus for each of your
village.
131
Skills as a Leader
Residential buildings
After building the bell tower, the next thing your villagers will
need are houses to live in. In the beginning, you will have only
one type of house available, in which only one person can live.
After some time, you will be able to construct larger houses in
which you can build several beds. More villagers will be able to
live there.
There are the following houses (not all available in EA yet!):
» Small house: max 1 inhabitant

» Normal house: max 2 inhabitants
» Big house: max 4 inhabitants
Building badly placed? Remember: You can move any
building later by looking at the bottom of the building with
equipped hammer and pressing the Move button.
Warehouse buildings
Now that your inhabitants have a roof over their heads, you
have to provide them with food. They will find all the necessary
supplies in the appropriate storage buildings.
Supply
As soon as you have your first NPC inhabitant in the first village,
you will need a food storage to satisfy his hunger. With a third
NPC inhabitant you will need a water storage to supply them
with drinks. You can store food in the former storage and your
villagers will take what they need. To store water in the water
storage, you need buckets, which you can craft at a wood-
working table in a woodcutter‘s hut. You have to fill them at a
well.
132
Building a Village
Currently, you can only fill buckets with water at wells.
The more villagers you have, i.e. the higher your dynasty legend
is, the more different and higher the needs of the villagers will
be. As soon as you will have invited your fifth NPC villager, they
will have heating needs. To do this, you will need to provide
wood in a wood storage. Other needs will follow as the game
progresses.
133
Skills as a Leader
Storage building and dynasty storage furniture

In each storage building, a corresponding dynasty storage is
built as a facility. For example, a dynasty wood storage is built
in the wood storage building (looks like a wood pile).
You can also build these dynasty storage furnitures in other
buildings as a facility (e.g., a dynasty wood storage can also be
built in the woodcutter‘s hut or in the shed). All dynasty stor-
ages of the same type are connected to each other and share
an inventory. Thus, at each dynasty storage in the game world,
you have access to all of the corresponding items.
For the villagers, however, only the corresponding storage
building is important. So, to supply food, the villagers need
the food storage building. The dynasty food storage furniture
alone in any building is not sufficient for supply! This also ap-
plies to the respective production facilities and their workers.
A woodcutter‘s hut needs the wood storage building in the
village to store the produced wood and the general storage
building to store the required tools for the workers. You can’t
use the respective dynasty storage furniture without having
built the corresponding storage building!
There are the following storage buildings and their correspond-
ing dynasty storage facilities:
General warehouse: Tools and items
food storage: Raw and cooked food
Water storage: All drinks (water, tea) and liquids (oil)
wood storage: All wood products (firewood, sticks, logs, bark, etc.)
Ice store: Ice
Armory: All weapons
134
Building a Village
Additional storage
In addition to the dynasty storage furniture, there are other
storage structures that you can build:
Small Temporary Tawara Storage (Simple Structures)
Large Temporary Tawara Storage (Simple Structures)
Tawara Bag (Furnishings - Home Furnishings - Containers)
These storage locations all have their own unrelated invento-

ry and are only of interest to players — NPCs do not use these
storages. The tawara bag can only be placed in buildings as
furnishings. You can build the temporary tawara containers
anywhere in the game world, if you build them outside a vil-
lage, they disappear along with their contents when the season
changes!
A very useful building for you is the shed (from Village Struc-
tures), which can be equipped with all dynasty storages as well
as with Tawara Bags (Basic Structures). You will then have
quick access to almost all storage facilities there. The dynas-
ty ice storage is the only exception and cannot be placed in a
shed.
For example, set up a shed with the appropriate dynasty

storage at the location of a new village and you‘ll have ac-
cess to all the storage locations. This will save you a lot of
time and effort in transporting items.
135
Skills as a Leader
Production facilities and service buildings

Now that there are houses and storage buildings in your village,
your villagers need jobs. And they will find their jobs in the many
production facilities and service buildings.
You have already learned about these buildings and what can
be produced in them in Chapter 4.2 Crafting!
An overview of all buildings you can build can be found in
Chapter 4.4.
5.2 Managing Workers
Invite residents
Now that you have built homes and a few workplaces, you can
invite people to your village. You will find two of them already
in Sosogi — for the others, you will need the permission of the
abbot found in the temple. From this point on, refugees will
come to the valley and wander around, you will mainly find them
near tents. Talk to them to invite them to one of your villages.
136
Managing Workers
Assigning a house
Once a refugee has agreed to come to your village, you must
assign a house to him in the Dynasty tab under Population.
Select the inhabitant and first choose the village, then the
house and the bed.
1 2
Depending on which house the new villager moves into, there

will be a different number of beds. You can move a villager to
another house or even another village at any time. Note, how-
ever, that you will have to give him a different job (from the new
village)!
Assigning a job
Under Population, you can also determine a person’s job by
selecting one from the list on the right that is not already as-
signed to another villager and assigning it to the villager. You
can change this at any time.
137
Skills as a Leader
If you accidentally select a job that is already taken, the

former worker will lose his job and become unemployed.
You will not receive any notification of this, so watch out!
Under Jobs, you will find all currently available jobs, which you
can assign to the inhabitants of the respective villages (symbol
of the village). Of course, this only applies if you have already
built production facilities and workstations. If you want to know
more about the individual production sites and workstations,
you can find more information in Chapter 4.2 Crafting. On the
list, you can also see which workstations are already occupied.
Once you have selected a workstation, you must now give the
person a task so that he or she knows what to make. Choose up
to four different products from the list.
138
Managing Workers
You can also select a product more than once. Next to the
products, you will also see the resources and the tool needed to
make the product.
There can be more than one worker in a building, but only

one worker can be assigned to each station in the building
or to the building itself.
Tools and storage of goods

Now that your worker knows what they have to do, you have to
make sure they have all the resources and tools they need to
complete their task. Tools must first be placed in the general
storage. Then, in the Dynasty section under Population, you
assign the tool to be used to the job. The better the tool is, the
more resources the worker will be able to produce in a season
and the faster he will gain experience, which in turn will allow
him to produce more.
139
Skills as a Leader
The effectiveness of the tools:

» Stone tool: 50%
» Iron tool: 100%
» Steel tool: 125%
» Master tool: 150%
If a worker is to process a product, he
must also have access to the resources
he needs to do so. To provide access to
the correct resources, you must build a warehouse for each
product and place the resources required inside. If you haven’t
built the corresponding warehouse yet, the name of the ware-
house needed is displayed to the right of the manufactured
product. Most of the time, you can already tell by the goods
which warehouse a product belongs in.
Lastly, determine the
amount of goods the
worker should make. Depending on whether you have enough
resources, you can produce as many goods as the production
effectiveness allows. At the end of the season, the finished
goods will be placed in the appropriate warehouse.
140
Managing Workers
Needs of the villagers

Below the production window you can see the needs of your
inhabitants and how much goods will be consumed this sea-
son (red numbers). The goods your people produce during the
season are already included in the consumption. Depending on
what your people produce and what tools they need, the values
may change.
The Dynasty Summary gives you another overview of their

needs.
Under Jobs, you can see both the consumption and production
of goods, as well as how much you have in stock for the current
season.
In your inventory, you can see what value a food item has. A
cooked egg, for example, has a value of 8; if the need of the
inhabitants is 60, you would need 8 eggs to satisfy the needs of
the inhabitants for the current season.
You can also configure the need requirements there by choos-
ing one of the two options:
» Minimum : The villagers need exactly this amount of re-

sources to be effective (100%). However, this will not make
them any happier.
» Optimal : The needs of your villagers are higher and you
have to offer them more. In return, their effectiveness and
mood will increase.
141
Skills as a Leader
If you set the setting to Optimal, but the value is not

reached, this has the same effect as if you had selected
the Minimum value and reached it. However, more re-
sources will be used. So only set the value to Optimal if you
can actually satisfy the needs of the inhabitants.
Happiness & Effectiveness

In the Population Details box, you can see the next season
effectiveness and the happiness of all the villagers.
As mentioned earlier, the happiness and effectiveness of the

villagers for the next season depends on the coverage of their
needs.
By default, if their (minimum) needs are met, the effectiveness
is at 100%. If their needs are not met, the effectiveness for the
current season and their happiness in the next season will
decrease. However, if their needs are optimally met, the aver-
age effectiveness and the happiness of the villagers in the next
season increases.
142
Managing Workers
Currently, the happiness affects nothing in the EA and the

effectiveness for the next year affects the productivity, i.e. the
number of manufactured goods in the next season.
The effectiveness of the workers in the next season is also dis-
played under Population when you select a worker and in the
upper right corner when you select Manage Job.
Productivity
Productivity, and thus the number of goods produced, depends
on both the tool and the worker‘s effectiveness. The default
value of goods production is 100%. However, if the worker is in
a bad mood, less is produced. If they use a good tool, this com-
pensates somewhat for their inexperience. The effective pro-
ductivity is calculated in this way:
Effectiveness of the worker x Effectiveness of the tool / 100.
Here is an example:
If the worker‘s effective-
ness is 90% and the steel
tool has an effectiveness
of 125%, the total effec-
tiveness is: 90 x 125/100 =
112%.
143
Skills as a Leader
Season change
A season lasts four days in the game. However, with the help of
the bell towers of your villages, you can end the season early
and thus start a new season. This option becomes available
when two of the four days have already passed. You should
make sure that the production of your villagers is set correctly
and that they have everything they need to survive the season
change well. The Dynasty Summary (Dynasty tab) gives you an
excellent overview. The products of the production facilities are
only made available at the end of each season.
144
Trade
5.3 Trade
There are usually two traders in every village, and you can sell
your own items to them as well as buy the goods they offer. A
grocer (usually in a tavern) and a general trader are always in
the village. Sometimes there are also special traders, such as
the weapon and armor trader by the monks in the monastery or
the bow maker in Segi.
There are also wandering traders who specialize in one type of
merchandise and can be found in the countryside. They change
their location each season.
In your inventory, you can see the values of your resources by

selecting the respective item. Currently, the selling price is also
the same as the buying price.
The Seller perk increases your sales profit by 10%, while the
Haggler perk reduces the purchase price by 5%.
You can recognize all types of traders by the symbol.
145
Skills as a Leader
Here we provide you with a quick overview of the traders you

will definitely meet in the cities and the type of goods they sell.
Their offer and fortune changes every season.
Segi
» Genza: wood resources and axes
» Carpenter: wood
» Ofuji, grocer: food, medicine
» Fujichi, bowmaker: weapons, fur, meet, knives, food
» Aki, trader for hunting goods: food, Weapons, everyday ob-
jects (torches, lamps), medicine

Skills as a Leader
There are sometimes beggar’s huts on the outskirts of villages.

Whether they are occupied by a beggar or not depends on the
season, but they are often empty. Beggars will always sell some
small items such as food, stones, and sometimes special items
such as shells.
Once you have visited the abbot of the monastery, you will be
able to build such huts in your villages, which will add charm
and attract these traders to your villages.

Hunt, Fight, Survive

6.1 The Hunt
In addition to gathering berries, mushrooms,
and roots (gobo), hunting is an important
source of food that will earn you fat,
fur, and meat.
You first need to unlock the
fur hunter and the animal fat
extraction perks in the Legend tab in
order to get fur and fat.
You have three hunting options:
» Trapping
» Go hunting yourself
» Hire a villager as a hunter in a hunt-
er’s hut
Trap hunting
With the hammer equipped, you can
build a box trap for rabbits, this is
found in the Construction menu un-
der Simple Constructions. It doesn‘t matter where you
place this trap — you will succeed anywhere. Place it on the
ground and finish building it. Come back after some time and
check if you have caught anything.
150
The Hunt
Go hunting yourself
Of course, you can also go stalking yourself and try to catch an
animal. In principle, any weapon is suitable for this, but the yari
(spear) and bow are best for this. But if you want, you can of
course also use a knife or a katana to kill your game.
Don’t forget to collect your spears and arrows after a

successful hunt!
Recommended hunting equipment

We recommend that you hunt with three to six wooden yari or a
bow with 10 to 20 arrows. The wooden yari can also be thrown,
unlike all the other later-available iron yari. The iron yari can
only be used as a melee weapon.
The wooden yari does more damage on hit than a bow with its
arrows, but in return you can‘t carry as many spears as you can
arrows (30 arrows in your back quiver versus one yari per quick
151
access slot). After all, the wooden yari can also be used as a
melee weapon, which can be useful when hunting defensive
game (such as wild boar). Don‘t forget to take a knife with you
so that you can then skin and process the animal.
Hunting aids and tactics

» Probe through the forest until you see game in the distance.
» From this point on, use sneak mode and approach the an-
imal preferably from behind or from the side, so that it
doesn‘t notice you so quickly.
» Then try to hit the animal with a spear throw or bow shot
from a distance. Hold down the button to cock the bow or
lunge for the throw and aim for the animal‘s head if possible.
The display will help you see how your spear or arrow will fly.
» Once you hit the animal or it notices you, it will flee. Follow
it. With a bow you may manage to get a second hit if you are
fast.
» If a defensive animals attacks you, then switch to a melee
weapon! A rabbit usually dies from a single hit, while larger
animals can take two to four, depending on the weapon and
hit location.
» With a good hit, the fleeing animal may also bleed to death.
Pursue the animal with your arrows or spears still in it, and
you will notice that it slows down after some time. This is
your chance for the next shot or melee attack. Often, even
152
The Hunt
a single hit is enough to make the animal to collapse after a

long flight.
» You can then use an equipped knife to slash open a slain an-
imal. Depending on the animal, the quality of your knife and
your skills in the Way of the Warrior, you will receive different
amounts of meat, fur and fat when cutting it up.
During co-op play, you have these hunting options:

Driven Hunt: One to two players drive the game animals
towards one or two waiting hunters.
Coordinated hunt: All hunters aim at a single animal
(deer/boar) and take shots at the same time.
153
6.2 Wild Animals
Hare
Behavior Flight
Loot after skinning:
Fat 1
Fur 1
Meat 2-3
Description
The hare, as you can probably already imagine, is a flight animal
that doesn‘t pose any danger to you. If you manage to success-
fully score a hit on a hare, your hunt is usually crowned with
success, since these animals usually die with just one hit. With
rabbits, hunting with a bow and arrow is a good option, espe-
cially because you don‘t need a wooden yari as a melee tool.
Besides, that tool is advantageous because you can hunt from
a distance. You‘ll encounter hares right from the beginning of
the game. On the one hand, you have to hunt them during one
of the initial quests. On the other hand, these cute rodents hop
around in Sosogi in droves.
They are the only animals
that you can also defeat by
trapping.
154
Wild Animals
Red fox
Behavior Flight
Fat 1-2
Fur 1-2
Meat 4-6
Description
Foxes are also flight animals, from which you don‘t have to fear
a counterattack. When hunting, you need to be a good shot,
since these nimble creatures are not so easy to hit.
155
Sika deer
Behavior Flight
Fat 2-4
Fur 2-4
Meat 6-9
Description
When hunting alone, it is beneficial to hit deer accurately with
the spear (head/neck region) and to then simply track them. By
hitting them, they will eventually slow down significantly, which
simplifies everything else! Sika deer can be encountered from
the beginning of the game if you decide to hunt them in one of
the initial quests in order to complete it.
156
Wild Animals
Boar
Behavior Defensive
Fat 3-5
Fur 3-4
Meat 10 - 14
Description
In Sengoku Dynasty, wild boars are among the defensive wild
animals. For you, this means that they will (counter-)attack as
soon as they are hit. With wild boars, look for a position on a
ledge, then the animals can‘t reach you so quickly and you can
fire two to three shots before they attack you. So be wary of
the feisty boars and always have a melee weapon ready, even
if you‘re actually hunting with a bow and arrow! Hunting wild
boar will give you the most loot, as these animals yield the most
resources.
157
6.3 Fighting Against NPC

You‘ll keep coming across roving bandits as you explore the
Nata Valley. You can recognize them from afar by the icon . If
they notice you, they will pursue and attack you. They know no
mercy! You have only one of two possibilities: Fight or flight!
Weaponry
The following weapons are at
your disposal to defend your-
self against these robbers:
Close combat
» Wooden yari
» Fukuro-yari
» Omi-yari
» jumonji yari
» simple katana
» any axe
» any knife
» any tool
Ranged combat
» Wooden Yari
» Short Bow
» Half Bow
More weapons will follow within the EA period, of course!
158
Fighting Against NPC
Combat tips
» Melee is more honorable than ranged, but you‘re no samurai!
Use ranged weapons whenever you can - you almost always
take damage in melee.
» You can defeat a single bandit well in melee, even if you
take some damage. Just always make sure to have a proper
and not too worn weapon in quick access. Nothing is more
annoying than a yari or katana breaking in the middle of a
close combat.
» If you see the bandits first, try to sneak up on them. Keep
to their backs. Get on a boulder and then strafe them with
bows or a wooden yari. By the time they run around the
boulder, you have time for more shots.
» You run a little faster than the bandits. Use this for a tactical
retreat to keep shooting at them from a distance.
» If you are pursued by several enemies, run through narrow
trees, winding paths or other obstacles to split up the group
of enemies more and more. Then you can take out the ene-
mies one by one.
» Always have enough wooden yari and/or arrows on hand
and with you. Bow and melee weapons should still be at
least 75% in condition. The reason for a defeat is usually not
that you fight worse, but that you run out of ammunition
in the middle of the fight or that your
weapon breaks!
159
If you are playing in co-op, then try the following:

» One player attracts the attention of all the bandits and
lets them chase him. The other players can now pick out
one enemy at a time and take them out.
» Everyone fires at one enemy together instead of each
fighting their own bandit - this way, even a group of ene-
mies is quickly eliminated.
Loot
In a successful fight against bandits, you do not go home
empty-handed. The belongings they carry with them are your
spoils. Your drops will vary here, as not every bandit has the
same items in his pocket. Often, several of the following items
are among their possessions:
» Gobo roots » Simple fish dish

» Coins » Healing balm
» Iron knife

Nourish the Spirit
Nourish the Spirit

This chapter is entirely dedicated to the spiritual path you can
take in Sengoku Dynasty. You will have the opportunity to visit
both Shinto shrines and places of power to receive buffs. You
can see where these shrines and places are located on the map
in Chapter 3.
7.1 Kami Shrines

In Shintoism, the original religion of Japanese culture, the so-
called kami („spirits“ or „deities“) are worshiped. In Japan, there
are numerous Shinto shrines where you can ask the kami for
help and assistance.
In Sengoku Dynasty, such places of worship are called kami
shrines and are each dedicated to a particular kami. You re-
ceive a temporary blessing from a kami shrine when you place
an offering on the altar and thus open the shrine. The offered
162
Kami Shrines
gift represents a unique item associated with the kami. Each

shrine can only be visited once, but the effect of a blessing
increases with each shrine of the same kami that you open. A
single shrine opened will give you a level 1 blessing, the second
kami shrine you make an offering at will give you a level 2 bless-
ing, and so on. For each kami in the game, there will be several
available shrines that you can visit. After you visit a shrine and
receive a blessing, you can see in the Legend tab under Monk
what kind of buff it is, how long it lasts, and what blessing level
you have already reached with that kami. The level can be seen
by the circles above the respective kami symbol. One circle
stands for level 1, two circles for level 2 and so on.
In Early Access, there are three shrines of two different kami

that give you a buff. In the game, there are already several
different shrines, but they don‘t give you a blessing at the mo-
ment, because they are still inactive. Gradually, the way of the
monk will be expanded in the game, so stay tuned for what‘s
to come!
163
Nourish the Spirit
» Inari is the deity of

fertility and rice and
is also associated
with agriculture.
Shrines dedicated to
Inari can be recog-
nized by their char-
acteristic fox stat-
ues. Foxes are
considered messen-
gers of this kami.
Offering: Cooked egg
Level 1 blessing: Sprint speed increased by 10%.
164
Kami Shrines
» Jizō, a kami who is

usually depicted in
monk’s clothing, is
considered the
guardian of the dead
and can often be
found in cemeteries.
In particular, he is
said to help de-
ceased children
cross over, especial-
ly those who have passed away before their parents. Often
his statues are decorated with toys or caps. In addition, he
stands as a patron of travelers, which is why he is often
found along roads, roadsides or at temples.
Offering: Yellow chrysanthemum
Level 1 Blessing: Sprint speed increased by 10%.
Level 2 Blessing: Movement speed increased by 10%.
165
Nourish the Spirit
7.2 Places of Power

Places of power are spiritual stone circles, i.e., stone towers
placed in a circle that give you energy when you use them to
meditate. The buff lasts for one season and can be reactivated
in the next season. You are also able to use multiple meditation
sites in one season. If you have visited a place of power and re-
ceived a buff through meditating, it will also be displayed in the
LEGEND tab under Monk.
At the time of the EA, it is possible that the buffs are inactive.
Over time, there will be many updates that will continuously
expand the places of power.
At each of these locations, you will receive a buff that gives you +10% to your
overall Stamina.
