First Game four moves in 35 turns

   

First game four moves in 33 turns
This detailed walkthrough is for getting 4 fans on a first game by turn 33, breaking 2 gourds (Oda and Takeda). The Hot Springs must be in either Maso or Edo.

Note that to defeat Takeda by Shingen Assassination, you must first defeat Takeda normally, autosave, and then reload to a previous save (if you haven't done so before).

I've also included two alternate 34 turn walkthroughs. The first alternate does not require H Sill at the Hot Springs and instead gains the final 5 satisfaction points by H Katsuko from conquering Uesugi House (detailed here). The second 34 turn alternate (detailed here) recruits Senhime and gives Uruza her Accurate Shots power up to make blocking the Takeda blitz less difficult.

First game four moves in 34 turns (Uesugi conquered, no Hot Spring)
This alternate walkthrough acquires the 4th fan on turn 34. It does not need to H Sill at the Hot Spring and instead gets the final 5 satisfaction from H Katsuko by conquering Uesugi (thus breaking 3 gourds - Oda, Takeda and Uesugi). Still, this route acquires Kenshin and Ai earlier without having to get Hot Springs in Maso, and we can also either start recruiting from Leazas 5 turns earlier, or use the free action to opress the Tenshi Sect for 10 ero diaries.

First game five moves in 63 turns, + 138 points, 91 turns run
This is a detailed walkthrough from turn 34 to turn 91, finishing the first run with the maximum of 138 points, while also unlocking Takeda, Mouri and Youkai House bonuses and clearing Agireda, who can only be cleared in True Route runs. Note that this isn't an optimized walkthrough. In theory a first game max points run would aim to finish the game on turn 79 with the maximum of 150 points, but to achieve that the run would skip unlocking House bonuses as well as non-scoring character clears.

The gourd route is Oda -> Takeda -> Uesugi -> Mouri -> Akashi. Getting the 5th action fan requires 260 satisfaction and is a bit frivolous, but most of the time you'll get to 260 on a good first run anyway, so might as well get it earlier, if only for fun. Mathematically, without breaking the 5th gourd, the maximum satisfaction total without extraneous Hareming is 243- this means that we cannot get to the 5th fan until after breaking the 5th gourd. Although we can not H Kenshin nor Naoe until after breaking the 5th gourd, conquering Uesugi earlier allows us to do their pre-H events beforehand. We break Akashi 5th since we get the extra +5 satisfaction immediately with only one action.

''// If we were going for 150 points, we would dismiss Rizna earlier to avoid the Zeth house event, and also dismiss Ranmaru and Ketsuie as well, since Ranmaru takes many actions to clear, but search for Umeda Underground beforehand. We could pick up Kuge Kyouko earlier to replace Ranmaru if we want someone with light attack. Senhime is also optional. I was originally getting her for Orochi but in a max run it's far too many actions to invest in her. Also, I thought that she would self recruit anyway.''
