How To Liberate A Region In Sengoku Dynasty
Liberating a region can either include taking on thespecial project of constructing a Watchtoweror something similar that shows your authority in the region, or you may have to fight several strong foes anddefeat the leader of the enemy forcecurrently occupying the region. In some cases, you’ll have to do both.
To complete any special construction projects, such as the Sosogi Small Bridge or any Watchtowers, you will have toconstruct a Special Construction Workshopnear the designated place. You can place the Special Construction Workshop near any construction site by equipping a hammer, selecting Basic Structures, and then selecting the Special Construction Workshop.
Once you have built the Special Construction Workshop, you will then have tosubmit the required materialsto begin construction. Once all the materials have been submitted, you will then have to select the workers that will be working on the construction. After that, you will have towait for the season to changefor the construction to be completed.
Some special construction projects take several seasons to be completed, and the number of required workers may change depending on the project. Furthermore, once you have assigned a worker to the special construction project, they can not perform any jobs in the village for the duration, but you can change the assigned workers later on from the Jobs section in the Dynasty Menu.
Sosogi Region
Sosogi is the first region that you arrive in as a refugee and will likely be the first region that you want to liberate. Liberating Sosogi requires you to fulfill the following conditions:

If you’re confident in your combat abilities, you can head directly to themain looters' camp towards the northeast of the burned villagein Sosogi.
The looter leader’s hideout, like every other major enemy, will bemarked with a red samurai helmet with crossed swords underneath it. If you approach the location, be wary of facing countless looters on the way as you make your way to the hideout.
