On with the game release information:

Takeda 3 is the latest in the Takeda series of games, based on
the life and times of famous 16th century Samurai Lord, Takeda
Shingen. In Takeda 3, you take command of the powerful Daimyo
(feudal lord) of one of 25 historical clans of feudal Japan;
engaging in diplomacy, managing your castles and territory,
and commanding your armies in combat.

With effective planning and tactics you can defend your
territory, defeat your enemies, and eventually rise to the
rank of Shogunùmilitary protector of all Japan!  Welcome to
Takeda 3!

Thirty Seven Realistic Castles Based On Historical Layout

Battles are set in castles based on historical Japanese
castles, making very realistic fortifications.

Experience storming through multiple layers of walls and gates
to reach the keep.

Watch for archery towers within castles, along mountain roads
or on river banks.

Use ninja to sabotage the gates of a strong enemy's castle
before you launch your attack.

Epic Battles!

3D terrains of the Japanese landscape are immersive and offer
dynamic views of battles

Weather effects like fog, rain, and snow influence the outcome
of the battle. Heavy fog can create a 'fog of war' effect in
battle mode, so that an army would have little or no
intelligence about the enemy army's numbers, strength, and
position. Rain makes rifles hard to fire.

Listen to the cavalry pounding through the infantry as they
cry out.

Experience the History

Look down on a battlefield that is filled with historical
family banners of the generals that they proudly wave in
battle.

You can set 12 historical Army Formations based on Japanese
history. You can evolve your army formation in response to the
current battle situation in real time.

You can view biographies of the characters which are true to
each historical person with their personalities and ambitions
being reflected in the game.

Diplomacy

Through Palace Mode, you can plot out extensive strategic
plans by tracking your relations with other clans, your trade
ties and by making offerings to the Emperor.

Command ninjas to spy on, assassinate, or trick your enemies.

Create political marriages to secure alliances and treaties.

Use alliances to your advantage and convince others to fight
your battles.

Infrastructure Management

Improve your clan's infrastructure by building facilities,
such as barracks, marketplaces, ninja houses and towns that
provide different offensive and defensive advantages.

Some castles have special buildings which reflect their
historical importance such as a ninja house or a rifle house.
