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

For those worried about having slow CPUs with the game I have the following:

E6300 @ 3.15ghz
4gb DDR2 @ 900mhz
GTX470 @ 775/1700

And I'm getting over 50fps in even large battles. Sea battles are a little slower hovering around 40-50 so it doesn't like the game is CPU limited much. That's with everything on Ultra but SSAO and DoF turned off.

Anyone had any fun with vassals yet? Mine seemed pretty pointless.

I don't bother. I prefer to capture them - could be useful to protect a particular front if you are surrounded though.

With realm divide the whole alliance/vassal/diplomacy thing seems rather pointless.

Pretty much, another reason why I don't bother with diplomacy - unfortunately, you loose a fair amount of potential trade though.

For what it's worth I have a weak CPU (Core2Duo 6600) and a good GPU (HD5850). I'm running the game very nicely at 1280x1024 (I know that's a low resolution by today's standards) and I only experience noticeable frame rate drops when speeding up large scale sieges. The game runs smoother for me than both Empire and Napoleon Total War. I should add that most settings are on Ultra.

Great! I'll buy the game this weekend!
So long wifey, cya next year!!

How do you think it will run on my rig turning up tommorow:

2x 6950 in CF
4gb ram
2500k @ 4.4ghz

The game has all it needs as the base for great mods.

I doubt anyone will be playing the native campaign in a few months' time.

I'd just send it back. You'll get a fatal bottleneck at your e-peen.



Back on topic, it's frustrating that even friendly clan with available ports won't trade with me

Use the mod I posted earlier in your next campaign as it tones it down.

Check the diplomacy tab, are the resources you export imported by that clan? If not, then that's why.

Finally got this to start working again after formating .

So I just started a new campaing again as the Chosokabe on medium. I am new to Total War games, coming from a hard core 2005-2011 FPS session .

This is my situation so far, don't laugh


My Little 3 provinces and little trade route. Getting ready to attack Awa to get some hardcore horses.

Here is my family

My Army in Sanuki, getting ready to attack Awa

Try to start levelling up some agents, especially monks and ninjas - will be useful when you need to start invading the mainland.

I got a Ninja, but can't have a monk yet .

Can I add the Ninja into my army or is he always solo?

Terrible! It'll run about 0.1fps slower than mine

Will do, thanks for the tip!
