There are only two Total war games set After Shoguns time zone... But its still awesome! Oh, haha xD Omg the multiplayer system is looking pretty neat! Much better than just hook up with someone and fight them in battle. Although I haven't seen everything yet, so far it doesn't look great but is nonetheless impressive for this kind of game. | ||

I always thought it has been a 1) Select group 2) Attack Area 3) Win battle thing...I'm really thinking about getting this game lately... While that might work for easy mode (there is no "attack area" button), the strategies are usually based on the mechanics of the game and require you (abet somewhat abusively sometimes due to AI) to take advantage of everything from unit compositions, formations, terrain, morale, etc. a basic strategy would be say, engaging the bulk of enemy forces with infantry followed by flanking from the sides to collapse the opposing lines. The games are extremely deep and do excellent jobs of making you "feel like" a general | ||

You forgot the crucial step 4 in every Total War game: watch as your units just completely disregard your orders because the AI is garbage I like TW but they are some of the most flawed games ever | ||

They finally brought that back in Shogun 2. Yes. The original one is the best. It had all these little touches. CA slowly started to reduce the effect of fog and weather and all sorts of little things in subsequent games. It's a good thing they're returning some of them in SW2. | ||

AI shows up with 3 stacks of 3000+ units each. Find hill, camp with missiles, win 3 hour long battle. Victory screen pops up. Celebrate, go to toilet. Come back and see your game just crashed and didn't autosave your victory. Start a new campaign. LOL. More like. Select 'Very Hard.' Slowly build up your economy and defeat rebel strongholds. Tech up and you can finally support a great army of 800 men. Find weak enemy outpost alone and unguarded. Has 75 peasants defending it. Look at time........Crap, I really need to go to bed...I'll just autoresolve. Battle Results: Crushing Defeat. You lost 785 men to their 35 men. Your capital is now on the verge of mutiny. 16 countries declare war on you. Your general converts to the other side. Your King gives birth to a farking retard, then dies of mumps at the age of 25. Autosave. Overwrites last save for 7 days. | ||

I always thought it has been a 1) Select group 2) Attack Area 3) Win battle thing...I'm really thinking about getting this game lately... There is much more to it than what people here said, if youre really interested just search total war online on youtube, theres a guy who uploads and commentates battles nearly everyday so you can get a good idea how it works. I should say that I thought the battles were extremely chaotic and I had no idea what I was doing when I began (the ingame tutorial teaches you how to command 4 troops and suddenly youre controlling an army with no idea how battles were fought in that time >.<) Outside of the battles the campaign map is also very addictive. You might wanna try Rome or Medieval 2 before buying Shogun though, theyre cheap nowadays and they work just like the newer ones, in some aspects they are even better. (more unit variety) | ||

I was constantly using F as my fire arrow key and then I also noticed you cant just activate them as a passive skill. | ||
