I am a huge fan of the Nobunaga's Ambition series. This newest installment is somewhat of a let down. While there are some interesting additions, there is also a major change in the over-all strategy of this game.
I suggest starting off in the second game play style, i believe it is called "local challenge". It keeps the amount of territories to a small area, which makes it a little easier when first getting your feet wet.
It can make a difference which lord you choose to play as, so take a look at their stats, and what the land looks like around them... The bigger the lord's land is not always the best thing. Each person has a different type of technology they excel in, which can make a big difference in winning or losing battles.
The battles were the biggest disappointment to me. They are in real time, now, which makes them much more difficult to implement any type of strategy to ensure a successful attack. just be sure to keep your technologies as high as you can, which means building a lot of academies... which can be difficult because if you don't have enough farms and shops built then you won't be able to fund an attack...
I suggest playing a small game, and not expecting to win it, but using it as a learning guide. examine the other lords, and how their area's are set up, which will give you a good understanding how to set yours up for the next game.
unless you like really slow paced, very strategic types of games, this may not be the one for you... but hey since you're just renting it, why not give it a go!
