For those of you who may be reading this and have no idea what is going on, Shogunate is a strategic diplomacy game, it is played using a program called diploware which can be downloaded here :-

Basically you are commander of an area on a map, you will recieve gold each turn based on your holdings and other factors. This can be spent on armies, ships or fortifications. An example turnfile will be downloaded with the diploware to give you an idea of what each turn will entail. There is also an online rule book which contains handy hints for beginners here :-

All (or at least most) of the diplomacy would be done by email or PM, you decide who to ally or fight with.
The game is completely free to play, however if you wish to pay for your turns(US$2.29) you will be allowed extra priveleges which are explained here :-

I am pretty sure that anyone wanting to play their first game of this type would enjoy this particular map as it is quite simple.
You are expected to submit 1 turn per week (deadline 1amGMT Thursdays) The games would typically last at least 20 turns. Once you are up and running and confident with the diploware your orders should take no more than 15 minutes, it is the diplomacy which takes the time😉.
Think of this as a complicated game of roleplay risk, set in feudal japan.... and bloody well sign up as I am a bloodthirsty bastard and I want to get this game started as soon as possible!

Originally posted by cadwahNote - the roleplaying is optional. It's really a wargame, but some people get into the roleplaying aspect.
