In this mode, however, the player doesn't have to play as Oda, and almost no scenes occur, including character events. Similar to the Kill the Monkey route, this mode allows you to play until you've defeated every other country. Consequently, you won't receive any points on this route either. No matter how you progress, you will encounter a Game Over screen. Rance complains he's too tired afterward, and then the game ends with the bad end's "Game Over" screen. Rance tries to attack Miki but the duo disappear. When you conquer all Demon Army territories, you will get an event where Rance confronts Miki and Kentarou where Kentarou accuses Rance of cheating.
SENGOKU RANCE DEMON ARMY FREE
On the last province, you can use Covert Action to prevent the Demon Army from attacking at all and secure a free route to the castle via Battle Permits before attacking normally next turn. Be sure to defend against all of the normal armies, however. Use Battle Permits to take all non-castle territories, and don't bother defending any attacks by Miki. Battle permits also still function normally, so you can stalemate the Demon Army infinitely if you have the gold needed to keep them functioning. During these battles, the defending units will not have any boosts. Castle battles in the original four Shimazu territories will still function normally (they always have the same units defending, just with different unit sizes), so Miki will never defend a castle.

Kentarou and Xavier have 8000 troops in their units, Keikoku has 4000, and Miki is a 247 HP solo unit that is nearly invulnerable to everything but instant-death attacks and has a nuke attack that instantly kills anything it hits regardless of size or stats (but guard shikigami can still block it). All unit sizes are dramatically increased. You are basically told to restart the game because it is impossible to win.Īll Demon Army units start with all four buffs, and they will gain a large number of troops/commanders every turn, so you can't bleed them out like in the True Route.
SENGOKU RANCE DEMON ARMY SERIES
A series of beginning-of-turn events will show Kentarou joining her (as all demons must obey the Demon King) and Rance receiving a series of letters from Hornet and Kayblis, the leaders of the two demon factions that were looking for her.

She becomes the Demon King and wages war on Japan. This is the route you are on if you fail to get the Hirami Lemons or find Miki after her disappearance. Certain higher-priority events can prevent a defection by displacing the defection announcement event at the beginning of a turn. Defected captains cannot be re-recruited even after you recapture them. This appears to be a random event as you can reload to the previous turn and get a different result. Only females who can be fired and is not in Love relationship will defect (Patch 1.03 makes it sufficient to keep your female captains if they have at least Trust relationship). The Shimazu brothers will randomly cause one of your female captains to defect. Sill, Kouhime, and any other characters who would disappear in various other routes will all remain present in this route. Also, Kobayakawa Chinu does not die in this route, so you can use and clear her. However, as Soun cannot fight Suzaku for revenge, you will not be able to clear him. So this particular plotline follows the True History route rather than the Ran route. However, in this route, Suzaku appears if you visit the Oil Dungeon when looking for Hojo Soun.

There is no storyline for the most part, except for the Shimazu House their actions are the same as in the Ran route. This will last until the event when the first gourd breaks, which can vary depending on your actions in the game.Īll events related to Xavier will no longer appear. On turn seven, the "Kill Toukichirou" command will appear in Owari. In order to open the route, choose the option "Can Kill Toukichirou" in the Family Bonus section. This route ends when you defeat every country on the map and end your turn. It's also a good route to use for getting the Takeda bonus. The main purpose of this route is for getting points and watching obscure events relatively uninterrupted, since you're not restricted by story-related events as in other routes. There isn't an actual story attached to it, it's more of a sandbox mode than anything else. This is recognized by the game as a route when you save progress, but it isn't quite a true route.
