***Official Shogun Total War 2 Thread***

The increased importance of tactics in land battles, and especially during sieges, sounds interesting. Although the ship combat (which I was once excited about pre Empire) looks very dull even if they have removed wind and simplified it.

Pre ordered anyway though, the whole clan thing, levelling up your general and punishing leavers in multi player should be good if it works as intended.

Review will be meaningless, if the issue is out this weeks you are looking at the game being reviewed about 3 weeks ago, 2 months before the game is released. Empire was buggy, no way did it deserve 94% on release, sure they fixed the bugs over time but reviews should be based on the released game not its potential when bugs are fixed
 
It wasn't just the bugs that let Empire down: lots of the gameplay was freaking awful. I've played every single TW game almost religiously and generally lved them despite their awful gunpowder units and siege AI but even with that I'd give ETW 50% at the most.

Napolean was a lot better, it was what Empire should have been

92% id take that with a VERY big pinch of salt to be honest as i remember empire got 90% from everyone.remember pcg got an exclusive and a bad review means no more exclusives.CA are very crafty so im going to wait a full month to see how this AI works out.

they have this big board saying the game doesnt ship until the ai is perfect well considering there havent been many hey look at our fantastic ai videos and demonstrations im a bit worried.

that could easily been fixed with a proper online mode with no 2 second buffering stops and a campaign where you can take on a friend in 1v1 in a mini campaign map with say a 25 turn limit and saveable progress.hell why not make it 4 friends and mix it up with 4 ai factions?:confused:


unit mass has not been changed since napoleon either which is a shame as u can see in the video the horse charge actually knocked and instant killed half the archer unit 20ft in the air lol! i know from rome totalwar modding this can easily be changed as its one of the secrets to getting realistic battles where horses get stopped by spears etc.
