accidently i stumbled over this forum today. i know this game since 15 years estimated. this is the or at least one of the best games i ever have seen. here are a few hints...
1.) i play it currently with windows98; here the problem that the game is stopped by disappearing images is easily solved by the combination of "alt" + "tab" and then returning by click to the game (it takes 5 sec.)
2.) in combat (kenjutsu) you can perform strikes which can't be blocked and cause
two injuries by first holding "return" (enter) and either "1", "2" or "3" on the numpad. after you have comletely drawn your sword over your head, you still hold return but now press "7", "8" or "9" on the numpad, accordingly what you selected before (e.g. 2 -> 8).
3.) if you take a hostage from your rival, you can demand "land" or "honor"
several times: just travel more than one time to his estate and say that 'he must obey to your will in a certain matter'. i don't know how often you can do this, but surely he must not die during this action.
4.) i tried to kill my daimyo by attacking him with my troops.
when you are victorious over his army, he flees in his castle, guarded by his men.
this means the fight continues on the melee screen in his castle with all men already alarmed.
on the second floor it seemed that there appeared new guards without an end.
only when i got sight into the last room there were no more new enemies.
on the third floor i encountered my daimyo, challenging him to a duel and finally
killing him.
i think i once achieved 250 years of shogunate but i have to search my records
for this...
