Welcome to /r/TotalWar!Ī subreddit for all of those who love the Total War series. I sort of prefer this over having dozens of variations of what's essentially the same unit.įall of the Samurai is a great example of DLC done right, and it's actually standalone if you are more interested in transitional 19th century Japan. People often complain about the lack of unit variety but I think that's one of it's strengths: I felt like each unit from the yari ashigaru to Shogunate Guard had a viable and mostly unique role at all stages in the game (some of the gimmicky DLC units can be hit or miss, though). It's rewarding to build up your economy and military in preparation for a massive campaign when you finally make your bid for Kyoto. Realm divide felt cheap when I first played it and didn't realize that literally everybody would attack me, but I actually ended up liking the mechanic on subsequent campaigns. Clans start out as small, but will form large nations to provide a late game challenge. I feel like campaigns have a good pace and difficulty. They don't necessarily have the scale of most Total War games, but by focusing small CA managed to do a lot right. I'd put Shogun 2 as one of the best total war installments. I relied heavily on cavalry, having anywhere from 4 to 8 units of mixed cavalry in each offensive stack. I got the Soaring Fame achievement during this campaign as well. All the while I was defending attacks on my eastern borders from the Date who at this point held the rest of the northern provinces. From there I invaded the other 2 southern islands. I was made shogun in 1575 with just central Japan in my possesion.įrom there I recruited experienced mass ashigaru armies from Kyoto to hold the ground I just took, used my non-daimyo stack to secure the immediate area south/southwest of Kyoto and sent Takeda Shingen conquering the rest of the southern half of Honshu, setting up vassals to take control of the seas (I had no navy). I built up after that, improving my economy, military and upgraded my castles at key defensive positions covering my flank (Kai and Echigo) until I felt I was powerful enough to blitz Kyoto with Takeda Shingen from South Shinano. At this time I had 1 stack at Echigo, 1 at Kai and 2 at South Shinano. The Hojo turned on me and I took their starting 2 provinces and set up a Vassal between me and the rest of their territory. I left an army at Echigo to defend my eastern border (I made an alliance with the Date) and invaded the lands of the Jinbo, Anegekoji, and Kiso after. While maintaining good relations with the Imagawa and the Hojo, I took out the Murakami and Uesugi first. My strategy to secure my immediate area first, build my economy and defend, then blitz Kyoto and the greater Japan. Think we missed one?
