OPPONENT
Sengoku DaimyoSengoku Daimyo
Sengoku Daimyo commit to specializing in one of three unit types (melee, cavalry, or ranged) through Daimyo Estates, which unlock melee-focused Daimyo cavalry that grant nearby troops attack speed bonuses while clan-specific technologies multiply their chosen unit type's damage and durability, paired with an efficient Matsuri-Yatai food economy that scales into late-game production dominance enabling endless reinforcements.
