*********************
*********************
Samurai Warriors is a combat game where you take on the role of a warrior in
Japan. This game is very similar to the Dynasty Warriors series. Your warrior
belongs to what is called a Daimyo Clan and fights for that clan to unify
Japan. You will start with the option of only 5 characters, but as you play
new characters will be unlocked.

******************************************
******************************************
In Story Mode you will fight as your selected character and follow their story.
2-player co-op is also available in this mode.
Each character has a different story. I will first lay out the character and
some information on them and then I will proceed with their stages. The stages
are pretty straightforward. I only list their stages, the current story behind
them, the battle conditions, how to proceed through both paths where their
story branches off, and what you can unlock through completing a certain stage.
I will also refer to some missions for certain requirements. Refer to
the "Mission" sections for more details on that mission.
The way the characters are listed is in the order you would unlock them if you
played straight down the character select line. (Except for Masamune who I put
after Magoichi since they are both unlocked after 1 and 2 completed story
modes.)

Then go back to your main camp and wait for Ieyasu to begin his retreat and
