I preordered for 34 Euro. Seems ok for me and the game will be so exciting. Just wait 2 months for patches and mods and the game will be even more kickass!

I sank a ton of hours into Rome when it came out. I didn't get Medieval because it seemed too much like a re-skinned Rome, so I instead got the Europa Barbarorum mod and spent a ton of hours on that instead. The EB mod turned it almost into a completely different game and IMO made it vastly superior to the original.

Anyway, I also avoided getting Empire and Naploeon because I don't like that style of warfare and also don't find that time period nearly as cool as the Rome/Medieval/Shogun periods. I kind of wanted to try the naval battles, but the poor reviews of Empire put me off completely. I only recently bought the Empire/Napoleon pack (forgot what it's called) because it was on sale, and I was pretty disappointed. However, I am hopeful that CA will go back to their roots and pull it off this time, and I do love Japanese history, so I've pre-ordered my copy of Shogun 2.

Ever since the fiasco that was empire: total war I'm not touching one of their games again until its confirmed that its playable at launch. Waiting for a year to have them patch a game into something that can run without crashing is not worth it. Besides that, the way creative assembly handled disgruntled customers was just horrible; censoring their forums to make the games look less broken, not helping people unable to run the game etc. Pre ordering this game is a huge gamble imo, wouldnt recomend anyone to do that from what I experienced.

Loved Medieval 2 : Total War sooo much. The feeling of fear when suddenly Mongols come knocking at your kingdom with maxed armies was so damn strong. Not to mention the Timurids with their Elephants mounted cannons blasting you precious cities... Let loose my awesome ninja samurais Muwahahaha

Looks pretty awesome so far. I'll admit I know very little about feudal Japan, and am much more a fan of Medieval Europe, so I was sort of hoping for Medieval 3 or Rome 2. The graphics look insanely good though for the number of units on the battlefield... I really hope my computer can handle this game... T_T;

I'm also a bit bummed about the number of unit types? I think he said 13-14? I suppose it makes sense considering we're looking at only Japan, but I loved the diversity in Medieval 2. Armies from various regions of the world were so different from each other. Trying to tackle Moorish horse-archer armies as early era Spain was crazy tough.

Eh? Rome and Medieval 2 did not exactly have the diversity of Medieval. If you look at unit stats, many of them were just reskinned versions of other units with virtually the same stats. The original Shogun and Medieval were the best games in the series. They removed a lot of the depth and the subtle things that can provide an advantage later on in the series.

If you played vanilla MTW2, sure. But the mod community is what's kept these games going so well.

Roma Surrectum mod makes RTW like 20x better than the original, and the Stainless Steel mod for MTW2 does the same for medieval2. Also did a lot for realism, because let's face it, horses will not blindly charge into a densely packed wall of spears/soldiers.

Cannot wait to see if the clan system is well implemented, could make for some god rivalries.

Huge fan of Total War series, my favorite by far is Shogun. Although, I probably sank many hours into MTW2 because of all the great mods, not to mention the improved AI... Seriously that is the weak point of every TW game. Been anticipating a Shogun remake for awhile, so hyped and excited when it was announced!

edit: Vastly improved AI that is

I think it'll have broken and shitty diplomacy as Rome Total War, Medevil Total War 2, Empire Total War
I think it'll have broken and shitty siege battles like Medevil Total War 2 and (especially abhorrent) Empire Total war
I think it'll have alot of useless and gameslowing character units like Rome Total War, Empire Total War and (by fucking god) Medevil Total War (so many shitty characters) Seriously assassins are the only units you need, kill everything else, profit.

So all in all it'll probably be a good game just like the rest, but held back from 1000% epicness because they once again didnt improve the diplomacy or the castle battles.
Cmon all I want is an AI that isn't acting like a brick...
And castles that don't make the unit ai act like paniced 4 year olds.

EDIT:
The multiplayer stuff actually sounds good.
But I've been fooled before by those slick talking dasterds! I'll wait untill it comes out.

actually, if you've followed it at all you'd know they completely changed how siege battles will work in addition to how special characters like spies and assassins work
