The Oda family tree consists of its daimyo, Oda Nobuhide, and his two sons, 12-year old Oda Nobunaga and 9-year old Oda Nobuyuki. The weak Tokugawa Clan owns the wealthy Mikawa province, which is ripe for the taking to the north, the Mino province is owned by the defenceless Saito Clan. It has good expansion opportunities to the north and the east. The Oda start the campaign in the center-south of the map, close to the capital of Kyoto. Oda ashigaru, particularly Oda Long Yari Ashigaru, can be formidable even into the late game, and thanks to their cheaper cost, Oda armies can be fielded in greater quantities than that of their rivals. The Oda have a distinct early game advantage, where samurai are too expensive or otherwise unavailable, and therefore all factions rely on ashigaru troops.

The Oda are rightly respected for their skills as inspiring battlefield commanders of ashigaru.
