I could've written the same thing about monks (S2) or Sou (RotS).

So there are bits and pieces of information everywhere that can be used in RotS, S2 and FotS.Įxample: I talk about Ishin Shishi (FotS) inciting unrest to steal land from allies and avoid going to war with them. This guide grew bit by bit, as people asked questions, or something just popped in my head that I felt was interesting enough to share. This entire guide is filled with practical tips that are basicly relevant in all campaign modes of shogun2 and it's expansions. I hope after going through most of them, you still have something to learn from me :)Īnyway, always happy to help people getting to know and love this great game ! I was listing some others here, but that info became obsolete since Kav the Psycho made a handy guide where you can find clans to join, video's to watch and more. Great commentary and he also explains how and why he uses certain tactics. My suggestion goes to 'Heir of Cartage', because his video's got me into buying this game. Some of these guides are extremely detailed and long, but very much worth your time.įor battle information I would point you to youtube and watch commentary video's.

This is where I learned the mechanics of the game. Visit the following link " Guide to the guides " and discover a treasure of information. So I would like to use this way to thank my "mentors" and also introduce them to new players. We loved the game and thought it was “a masterful game” and that it was “easily the most immersive Total War since Rome.Lately people seem to get warmed up again for total war thanks to the much anticipated Rome2.Īnd just like many of you, I aswell was new to the total war series when I first played shogun2 and had much to learn. And of course, the update is free, so no purchase of Rise of The Samurai is necessary to benefit from these additions.īe sure to read our Shogun 2’s review linked above.

In addition there will be a large number of fixes and adjustments to further enhance the Shogun 2 experience. The new ‘prestige’ system enables avatars to enjoy new levels of career advancement, and numerous tweaks and balances will be introduced. The update also brings considerable enhancements to multiplayer.
