If you don't like the setting or anything else with the game, don't buy it. Similar to the European knights, Japanese samurai were landowners who volunteered military service in exchange for a larger. Compared to the Maceman that it replaces, the Samurai has two more first strikes and starts with the Drill I promotion, which Macemen cannot get.However, Samurai cannot be built with Copper. I just want men that can get the job they've been assigned to get that job done. The Samurai is the unique unit for Japan.

Regular line infantry, not '99th Regimet 'Teh Epic.' I don't need flashy units of five million variations. They may be slightly better than what I have, but even then and more often than not I find my old veteran line regiments I bought at the start of the game to be superior to them.

All Line Infantry were Line Infantry.ĭoes it really matter if we don't have Cold Stream Guards or the Emperor's Own Austrians? In the end the former are Guards to me and the latter are Line Infantry. All Guards to me were Guards, all Light Infantry were Light Infantry. It did not matter to me even really Polish Legion Infantry or Fusiliers of the Line. It did not matter to me the difference between Chasseurs and Cazadores or Light Foot. As well as many new clans, three western powers appear: The United States, France, and Great Britain.

Meanwhile, the playable Imperial clans are: The Tosa, The Satsuma, and the Choshu. The expansion adds many new units armed with new, modern weapons, contrasting against the continued use of traditional melee and ranged weapons by some clans. The three playable clans that support the Shogunate are: The Aizu, The Jozai, and The Nagaoka. It did not matter to me the difference between Russian Guards and British Guards. Total War: Shogun 2 Fall of the Samurai is a standalone expansion pack for the game that moves the action to the mid-1800s, against the backdrop of the Boshin War. That is how I saw my army, be it playing Russia, France, Spain, Britain, Greece or Denmark.

Mine, for example was 4-6 Line Infantry, 2-4 Light Infantry, 1-4 Guard or Grenadiers, 2-4 Cavalry and 2-4 Artillery. Napoleon may have seemed like it had more units, but generally in that game what did your army consist of?
