Sengoku Japan — Warring States

The Sengoku period as a strategy map: 38 provinces from Satsuma to Ezo, and a march on Kyoto. Free in your browser, nothing to install.

Almost half the connections here are sea crossings, so the island chain never really splits into safe interiors — Kyūshū can be hit from Shikoku and the Inland Sea in the same turn. Kinki is the prize at +5 and sits in the middle of everything, which is exactly why holding it early tends to end badly.
