Total War Megathread V.2: "All of Christendom Will be Awed by this Megathread!" - Games

50 turns in, Maximum modernisation! I love how as you industrialise, houses appear in the countryside that grow into towns along the roads.

A few dozen turns in as Satsuma, captured the southwestern-most island entirely, allied with everybody on the peninsula to the north. Now I've run into huge as fuck Shogunate factions with a ton of local allies and several armies at least the size of my biggest one.

so this expansion pack costs 29 euros on steam yes well nice because retail copy here in poland costs 14 euros !

So it seems the game is worth it. Is the special edition worth it or does it just add some half-assed faction with nothing to it?

Retail is always cheaper by quite a lot, I buy on steam for instant delivery.

Holy crap, Cannons and a Naval Bombardment made an army of 2000 just run away before they got near me.

Every time I try to launch Shogun 2, I only get to the initial loading screen and then I get 4 crash messages. :(

Have they fixed the multiplayer campaign desyncs ? anyone tested that ?

What the actual fuck? I just spent 2 hours Installing Shogun 2 on disk, and then another hour waiting for the updates to download. i go downstairs to watch some TV, then I come back and its gone back to 2% with 13 hours left. what just happened?

[QUOTE=FuzzyPoop;35266670]Have they fixed the multiplayer campaign desyncs ? anyone tested that ?[/QUOTE] From patch released yesterday: "Fixes for known multiplayer campaign desyncs"

[QUOTE=theseltsamone;35266785]From patch released yesterday: "Fixes for known multiplayer campaign desyncs"[/QUOTE] I saw that, they lied about it before, so that's why i'm asking.

I have 3 units of the US Marines, with the accuracy bonus, and a veteran who has made their accuracy go all the way up to 90. They rape anything they touch.

I've sent in my Geisha 15 times and has failed every single time with a 50% chance.

They are selling fall of the samurai for $20 (I'm in Europe and I paid in USD as well) over at GreenManGaming. I'm really starting to like that site. Saves me a lot of money. Figured I could spread the word to others. [url]http://www.greenmangaming.co.uk/games/strategy/shogun-2-fall-samurai/?[/url] [B]Edit:[/B] I thought fall of the samurai was standalone? My Shogun 2 is updating on Steam with the added content instead? Not that it matters but I thought I would have two items in my steam list.

Im confused, what clans are open to Western powers (I want Cheaper Line infantry). The last Shogun or the Emperor?

The Emperor. Yes, let the guns flow through you...

Oh lol. My veteran got the Hungarian Phrase book from Monty Python as a retainer.

Alrighty, Started off with the Satsuma's, 4 turns in, I had a Fleet of 4 gunboats. and a Army pretty much filled with Skirmish Infantry. some Shogun clan invaded my land from the north of the capital. but just idled in the Farms, I sent my Army to take them out with the support of the Navy This game is fucking amazing [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/lCp6A.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Yx6Og.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] [editline]24th March 2012[/editline] Also, Sexy screenshot of the Third Person mode [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/beiDR.jpg[/IMG] [editline]24th March 2012[/editline] Also also, Anyone else love the army sizes? It would of made Empire and Napoleon so much fun if you could have like half of your army full of Artillery pieces and the rest Infantry/Cav

This is one of the coolest games I've ever played. Ranks of infantry opening up at once sounds great.

Damn fine piece of music in a Total War game imo. [MEDIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AReEBm2g3DQ&feature=related[/MEDIA]
