After resolving issues in East Asia, the focus shifts to India, the Middle East, and the west coast of North America. Each historical figure has a unique role to play.

    "The Eagle of the Warring States" is a good read for gamers, but unfortunately, the author was too poor to continue writing after reaching Kyoto. Basically, after conquering Kyushu and the four provinces, the author became powerful enough to easily sweep through. The characters and geography are very detailed. If you want to experience the game while reading, you can choose to start with Ryuzoji, or if you're worried about not being able to defeat the well-modeled characters. "The Ambition of the Tsugawa Clan" starts from a poorer region and progresses to the Kanto region. I haven't read the later parts, but I heard it's finished. The characters and geography are also very detailed, but there aren't many powerful characters, so it's considered a good read. For the Ambition game, try the Nanbu Clan. The author has read the two books I recommended; there's nothing else.
