Shogun Total War 2!

Re: Shogun Total War 2!

It works in the other way too, every captured area will take time to convert from shintoism to christianism.

As for revolt it's only good for taking towns with little garrisons, if there is a huge army next to it they will wipe the rebel army with almost 0 casualties.

Re: Shogun Total War 2!

typically yeh, presence of a large army also makes it harder to incite

but dam some of those rebel armies can be big, I had good success creating some rebel regions along my borders to slow the approach of my enemies hehe

Re: Shogun Total War 2!

No, that's not what I mean, if you spawn a rebel army, the stack of rebel will get wiped out as soon as the enemy return with its full stack army, and the full stack have almost 0 casualties (1-2 guy dead per unit), next turn the replenishment rate will make like nothing happened. It's good when there's no big army next to the settlement otherwise the rebel army don't even last one turn.

I think I'm going to win on this one, I have 2 full stacks, no real enemy, 2 stacks in preparation, and 100k+ in bank (14k per turn). The game decided to trololol on me though, I had a huge battle and managed to win, then I take the settlement and... the game crash, I have to fight the battle again...

Yay, won the campaign in 1562. I had ten allies before the realm divide, the alliance lasted one turn and then full war on my face, not even one allied remained (Sagara I'm looking at you). My income (after paying everything) went from 15k to 4k but it was enough to consolidate my position (and like 150k in bank). I'll stop here with the Shimazu, now I'm going full peasant with the Oda clan

Re: Shogun Total War 2!

Just played the demo. I like what they have done to the series. I have not played any Total War since the first Medieval, my brother was into it more that I. Im not much on turn based games other than CIV but this is a good one.

Damn you! You make me so want this game. But I need to finish the job here, find a new one (hopefully with more free time) and build a new rig.

Re: Shogun Total War 2!

The good thing with solo games is you can wait it won't lose its flavor (unless you wait too much), not the case with multiplayer games (unless you want Shogun 2 for the multiplayer and get owned by monks armies lol).

About the rig, my CPU died some months ago and I'm running with my old overclocked E2140, which is like one of the cheapest core duo you can find (if they still sell it). So oc E2140, 9800GT and 3go ram and the game works fine in medium with no lag (except huge armies in Kyoto in X8 speed).

Re: Shogun Total War 2!

Yeah, I've tried demo with my current rig (Phenom 965 stock, 4GB DDR2-800 and 9800GTX+), and there isn't any issue with it. I plan to build a new rig for some heavy stuff (Crysis, Warhead and 2, FSX etc). I will probably wait to see if AM3 CPU works on AM3+ socket and migrate to DDR3. Definitely a new GPU (I'm looking at you, EVGA 460 dual card.)

there also a cool feature you can do with the camera (forget the button but meh) basically shows a first person ish perspective from a soldier in the selected formation, for archers it follows the arrow hehe

really enjoyed this battle, reminds me of some epic battles I had in MTW2 playing as the English against the scots and due to massive numerical inferiority I camped on a mountain with me longbowmen and had epic victory, this time I rained death on them from the top of the cliffs, then had the no daichi and katana heroes charge down the hill and obliterate everyone hehe

Re: Shogun Total War 2!

Wow, that mountain ridge battle had to be fun. There was a map in Shogun 1 like that and whoever got to the top first usually won.

Those were some great shots.

Re: Shogun Total War 2!

yeh was a great battle, it was only rebels so not like other really high end armies that I have seen the AI produce but still tough, it even did the smart thing and split its forces to try and flank me somewhat, cant stop the might of a banzai charge though ha, the katana heroes would have stopped anything as well hehe

my favourite still has to be the nihon maru on fire (like a round after I got it ha)

was annoyed until I found out you can recruit them again ha

Re: Shogun Total War 2!

I maxed out a ninja as an assassin and he changed. He received dark red armor over his ninja suite and a devils mask.

Re: Shogun Total War 2!

yeh when you max out characters they get some nice stuff, ninjas look badass, monks look like ghandi or something, think the Geisha change a bit as well, Metsuke get some new white clothes
