History YMMV / PokemonConquest

** Apart from the aforementioned Dragon Rage when HitPoints are still low, there are other examples. Fire Blast in particular is absurdly powerful: doing massive damage with an enormous range (it hits an area in the shape of the 大 kanji, i.e. "A plus shape in front of you and two squares on either side of you" according to Serebii) while not suffering from the poor accuracy it does in the main series. Only two Pokemon get it, but both of them (Emboar and Darmanitan) have massive offensive stats. Then again, given how long it takes to evolve the two that far, it may qualify as LastDiscMagic... [[DiscOneNuke until you transfer those Warlords over to another story.]]

* {{Ensemble Darkhorse}}: Besides the usual Masamune and Yukimura (that might be influenced from other games), you got Hanbei, Gracia, Okuni and Motonari are popular amoung the fans.

** Whenever the character messes up when mining for gold, most of the special warlords have a shocked animation when they fail. It's pretty funny when an arrogant or stoic character ends up having a surprised expression when they screw up and then getting yelled at the miner.

--> Kai (Complete with her fiery angry hair): "Man, why doesn't anyone give me anything to do?!"
--> Masamune: "Why?! Why wouldn't this army want to use me as much as it could?!"
--> Ujiyasu: "[[BrutalHonesty I'm sick of the sight of you.]] You can do whatever you like, as far as I'm concerned."

* DiskOneNuke: Only applies to the extra chapters. Despite Links being reset, BagOfSpilling is averted for the Warlords as far as Pokémon are concerned - meaning that if you evolved their Pokémon in the main story, they'll be evolved here. Despite their Links being reset, though, they should still roll over any early-game opponent on account of them still being stuck with unevolved Pokémon. Muneshige and Yoshihiro are particularly notable examples here: they're often available early and the final forms of their starting Pokemon (Staraptor and Conkeldurr respectively) know some incredibly powerful attacks.

** Then again, the battles in this war tend to be, at most, six-on-six Pokemon battles. On top of that, they're often in secluded areas. They're really not that much more terrible than battles in the main series.

* {{Scrappy Mechanic}}: The Gabite warrior in the post game that shows up once the game thinks you're "too powerful" for the AI. The Gabite warrior goes to one or two random nations and tells them to fight harder drastically increasing the level of the warlords and warriors of that nation by a large amount. It wouldn't be a problem given your strongest team is probably a little lower than theirs but the computer always attacks the nation with a low level in order to get even stronger than you, so unless you have promoted warlords or full evolved Pokemon, whatever warlord got the boost will end up preventing you from completing the episode quickly. Also, for the low level team, pray that the nation they attack is a collect the flag nation given that if the enemy is too strong, you could always hold the line and gain points allowing your stronger army to defeat them.

* ThatOneBoss: Mitsuhide in the main story. Mostly due to the annoying FrictionlessIce you have to cross, which pretty much works like the Ice Path in ''PokemonGoldAndSilver'' except you can only move once per turn, and it makes getting into range of your attacks really difficult. Flying Pokémon can ignore the ice, but [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes guess what they're weak to, and what every enemy uses...]] Oh, and one of the generic enemy warlords has a Munna with a nasty habit of putting all your Pokémon to sleep. The Munna is also levitating, so it ignores the ice. To top it all off, Mitsuhide himself is no slouch; his Lapras is decently bulky and is equipped with the AwesomeYetPractical Ice Beam (an attack that hits everything in a three-square line, has near-perfect accuracy, and is adequately powerful, to boot).

** Oichi's post-game episode. Her army starts with normal-type Pokemon. Her neighbors include No's Ghost-type faction, and Ranmaru's Dragon-type faction of {{Disc One Nuke}}s.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: [[NobunagasAmbition A game series]] set in [[FeudalJapan one of the bloodiest eras in Japan's history]]... [[{{Crossover}} blended]] [[XMeetsY with]] [[{{Pokemon}} a kid-oriented franchise]]?

** If you really, ''really'' go a long time without using a warrior, like ten years long, they'll get dissatisfied and you'll have a few months to use them in battle or else they'll abandon you. It can get really funny, however, with how some of the Warlords will react to waiting for so long (And if you really are dwawdling this long rather than completing the episode, you might as well let them leave just to see their parting words).

* {{Crowning Moment of Heartwarming}}: Ranmaru's ending where Nobunaga comes all the way from his nation just to congratulate him on his victory. It's heartwarming given the fact Nobunaga's real life counterpart and would be considered a huge {{Pet the Dog}} moment. Then again, Nobanaga is a pretty swell guy in this game.

*** This also explains why he doesn't gain that much power when promoted and serves as the weakest of all the warlord even compared to Oichi and Gracia (bar of course [[JokeCharacter Yoshimoto]]).

** Ranmaru's episode to a certain extent. {{Dude Looks Like a Lady}} forced into a competition with all women? No one believes him if he told them his true gender? Sounds like some other trap from a [[BakatoTesttoShoukanjuu certain anime.]]

** Also, the Guardian Charm equip item. It can be bought from the traveling merchant (who shows up infrequently) for 10,000 gold. It gives a significant boost to your Pokemon's stats if it's the only Pokemon remaining. While it was probably intended as a last hope if your army's been slaughtered, it also makes soloing incredibly easy.

** A more minor one but Masamune's appearance is {{Peek a Bangs}}/{{Eyepatch of Power}} might seem like a generic look until you realize that Masamune in real life is blind in one eye hence why you never see his other eye. Might double as a {{Fridge Brilliance}}.
