Mori – Superior Ships and increased campaign movement for all ships.Date – Superior No-Dachi Samurai and charge bonus for all units.Chosokabe – Superior bow infantry and additional income from farms.(This is a quick summary and not an exhaustive list of all features of each clan) Each clan has its respective traits and bonuses: Shogun 2 features 8 playable clans, with an additional clan if you own the limited edition. You really need to time your moment very well and be prepared for this eventuality otherwise your own greed for power will truly become your downfall. Essentially, this means that most clans will declare war on you in defence of the Shogun, with only your most loyal allies sticking at your side. This sounds a little easier than it is, as growing too powerful or outright attacking Kyoto will result in so-called Realm Divide. In pure game terms, this is done by capturing and controlling Kyoto for 4 seasons. The one thing they do have in common is that they all want to rise to power as Shogun, the ultimate ruler of Japan. Japan is torn apart by rival clans, each with their own schemes and agenda. You will find a European influence, as well as European weaponry in Shogun 2 but for the most part you’ll see bows, spears and katanas. When Europe was battling it out with matchlock rifles and cannons, the Japanese for the most part stuck with more traditional forms of warfare. Shogun 2 is set in the so called Sengoku period in historic Japan. So, onwards to important matters – what is the game actually like?
I’d still like to see more fanatical support, but the fault there will sit with the management of the studio and not the developers themselves. For the most part, the game played pretty damned well straight out of the box.
(Napoleon and his period has about the same appeal as a triple heart-bypass).Īnyway, long story short: Shogun 2 is a refreshing change to Creative Assembly’s usual releases. No Creative Assembly, adding it to Napoleon isn’t good enough as I’ve never bought that. Yes, Empire – I am looking at you with your co-operative campaign mode that never materialised. To rub further salt into the wounds of their many fans, they often plain cut features that were outright promised and never bother to implement them at all. In addition to this, Creative Assembly is notoriously bad at supporting their games, often taking months, if not years, to resolve the major issues with their games. As long-term fans of the Total War series will know, most recent releases by Creative Assembly have been riddled with bugs, making their games close to unplayable.
