You know, I've got to give credit to this game. It's not often I constantly have a lot to say in these descriptions. If you watched my DW3 videos you know how often I've just had one sentence descriptions because there was just nothing to talk about but this game has constantly kept new things cropping up to keep my interest, both in playing and in discussion.

Hideyoshi's lead an attack on Honnoji, which it makes sense is now under our control since Nobunaga is a team player now. Ieyasu was left in charge, along with a small part of the Jin army and the Date duo. We come in with Naotora and Perseus from the bottom corner of the map and have to fight our way to them. We immediately have a 10 minute timer to wait for until allied reinforcements arrive, so we've got to hold out until then.

Cao Pi is already in his Deity form and is fighting Sima Zhao and Ma Chao. Zhuge Dan is directing the fight and having Sima Zhao lure Cao Pi around the passage ways, allowing for Ma Chao to get in sneak attacks from behind. Because of this, Sima Zhao and Ma Chao can actually hold off Cao Pi for a while, so you could ignore him if you wanted. In fact, Masamune and Kojuro are the first to start struggling here as the first line of defense to Ieyasu's main camp.

As the fighting escalates, more enemy officers will pour in and they're bound to get past due to Honnoji having multiple entrances and there being just the one of you. Once Ieyasu starts fighting, Zhuge Dan will order Ma Chao to fall back, and have Wang Yuanji go to support Sima Zhao keeping Cao Pi at bay. Which is...honestly really damn smart, to take into consideration the officer's exhaustion. Hearing Zhuge Dan direct the battlefield is honestly pretty entertaining.

As even more enemy reinforcements pour in, Naotora decides to make a charge for the back of the army, where she imagines the enemy commander is located. She'll begin making her way there, but I prefer to prioritize keeping allies alive rather than blitzkrieg tactics. In fact, if you defeat all the enemy officers surrounded Masamune, he and Kojuro will go on the offensive and begin marching. Enough time had passed now that Nobunaga, No, and other reinforcements had arrived. At the same time, Hideyoshi/Athena's main force appeared in the south.

Curiously, Naotora's objective to head to the north still remained despite us already knowing where the commander is. I guess she didn't get the memo so we may as well escort her there... Doing so has us bump into Zhang He and Zhenji. Defeating them does...nothing. But it clears up Naotora and Perseus's current objective, so they'll turn around and target the ACTUAL commanders, Hideyoshi and Athena, next.

If Cao Pi has been left alive until this time, he'll discover the secret passage ways that Sima Zhao, Wang Yuanji, and Ma Chao have been exploiting to keep him busy. On top of that, Wang Yi gets a massive hate boner going the second she noticed Ma Chao is on the field. She B-lines straight to him AND she's in Hyper Mode. This means Ma Chao is far too preoccupied to help against Cao Pi, and he's already tired from fighting him. This puts all three of them at risk so now is when you either want to rush the enemy commanders or take out Cao Pi and Wang Yi. But, if Naotora has already defeat Zhang He and Zhenji, she's change her objective to confronting Cao Pi. She'll enter Deity form the second she gets into contact with him, which will suddenly put the odds in your allies favor. Man, I love how many different ways this battle could turn out.

We've also got even more reinforcements coming from Wu, with Lu Meng and Huang Gai showing up fashionably late to help deal with Hideyoshi's defensive forces. They'll gun straight for Mitsunari. Kiyomasa and Masanori are the only ones actively advancing, so once you beat them down you just need to topple Hideyoshi, Athena, Nene, Mitsunari, and whatever other generics that get in your way.

Completing this stage gets us Huang Gai and Lu Meng as playable characters.
