Shogun 2 Total War is without a doubt one of the best Total War titles in the series. It’s got visuals that still hold up today, it’s got some of the best battles of any of the older games & it’s got one of the best Saga spin offs ever made: Fall of the Samurai.
Today I’m going to cover one of the most popular mods currently available for the game. A mod that aims to make the campaign & battle experience more realistic, that enhances AI to be more challenging and a mod that honestly makes Fall of the Samurai the best it can be.
So in this video I’ll be showcasing the brilliant Darthmod for Shogun 2, giving you all the good reasons why you should check it out & all the not so great things to be wary of.

Does this work for fall of the samurai?

@angshumanroy277 2 года назад

😌“....created by the legendary modder, Darth Vader....”! Yes, no other words would suffice to elaborate his contributions to the TW community. It's deeply unfortunate that he had to leave the modding platform altogether. He's dearly missed.

@Cyprian96 2 года назад

@therexbellator 2 года назад

@@Cyprian96 He didn't have to leave; Darth left because he wanted to. The fact is while many here praise him, his reputation is 50 percent self promotion and aggrandizement. Most of his big mods weren't even made by him, they are a collection of smaller mods that he put together. However that didn't stop him from plastering the games loading screens with images of Darth Vader as if he were the sole creator. Long story short: Darth has a huge ego. Then one year (2014? give or take) CA decided to have a modder/developer conference and invited some prominent modders from the community but not Darth (I believe they were focusing on the modders who made utilities like PFM), well Darth took great offense and essentially left the community out of spite. While I have no opinion on this ROTS mod, I find his big overhaul mod compilations like Darthmod for Empire and RTW to be overstated. They add a lot of excessive changes and made the AI even jankier in Empire, with minor factions owning chunks of Europe. I don't really care for him or his mods but you're welcome to try them. Personally I prefer adding smaller mods that don't' conflict and tweaking the game(s) to my liking.

@Ancantar 2 года назад

Shogun 2 graphics are so satisfying. They hold up great after all those years

@ElRealista. 2 года назад

Better than Rome, Attila and Warhammer 1 and 2

@res_publica_romana 2 года назад

This game has aged incredibly well. Amazing work by CA back then and Darthmod needs almost no introduction. Just stellar stuff all around. I especially enjoyed the Empire Darthmod as well, since it must have been a crazy challenge to enhance the much less polished and buggy base game there.

@musketsrule5541 2 года назад

I started with napoleon, then got the first and second Warhammer, then atilla, Rome 2 and now shogun 2 lol love this series of games

@dre_plays 2 года назад

Hands down the absolute best Shogun 2 mod(s) I have played is the Master of Strategy Mod.. both the Sengoku and Fall of Samurai had spectacular modded campaigns. Would definitely recommend checking those out and doing a review. Changes include new units, recruitment mechanics, completely new buildings and immersive building effects, tougher AI, and they broke the map of Japan down into about twice as many regions as there are in vanilla. Probably in my top 3 total war mods across any total war game

@TheBaralinChannel 2 года назад

Totally agreed, doing a FOTS campaign with MOS atm

@TheTerminatorGaming 2 года назад

I’ll check it out thanks for recommending! ❤️

@dre_plays 2 года назад

@@TheTerminatorGaming Only thing I'll add if you plan to check it out is there really aren't any guides available for this mod that I have been able to find and because the mechanics are so different than vanilla (mostly surrounding infrastructure) you can really shoot yourself in the foot early campaign if you aren't paying attention to how your buildings are impacting your populace. There are also some resources that are a bit confusing to access, but the majority of the time you will most likely be able to access that resource through building chains.

I love darthmod! Been loving your channel, I have been on a bit of a binge due to covid. If I may, I’d love to see you play a Norse expedition campaign on 1100 ad. By far, I think the toughest play through I’ve done on the mod so far. Thanks for all the great content!

@TheTerminatorGaming 2 года назад

Would love to!

@fluffypineapple3699 2 года назад

I must really recommend playing darthmod with the fots unit pack for darthmod. The unit art is really good, and it adds lots of distinctive and original units.

@Warrior1990L 2 года назад

I don't know if you have already (haven't found a video) but it would be awesome if you could make a video for the Ultimate Immersive mod for the Shogun 2 base game. I have played many hours in it and it really nails its goal in my opinion. The whole mod trys to make the sengoku jidai as real as possible in game. Added tons of new provinces and castles that are historical for the time and there is a large focus on how army's where structured with a large amount of ashigaru making up the main body of the force supported by samurai. Love your work and cant wait to see more!

@TheTerminatorGaming 2 года назад

I’ll definitely pop it on the list mate!

@carlybety 2 года назад

hey terminator! theres a mod called pike&shot total war on napoleon total war, its on moddb and i think you should do a mod review on it, its a full 1600 overhaul of ntw and its early but its a great mod!

@naturalbornpatriot6369 2 года назад

Couple this with the settlement battle maps pack, and you have on your hands a hell of a campaign. Chosu are THE Imperial faction to play as in FotS. My pick is usually Date or Oda for Standard.

@resentfuldragon 11 месяцев назад

The issue is that the ai has no clue how to use the settlements, it can lead to annoyingly long battles where you march across the map to pick off stragglers, or an easy battle where the entire enemy army is in one spot that is easily shelled.

TheTerminator, I was watching your old videos of some factions in Rome total war 2 Divide et impera 1.28 , and I noticed you have more factions than I have unlocked. I wanted to play pergamon but its not available for me. I checked your modlist and none of them indicated a faction unlock mod. I got my DEI from steam, the 3 parts of it and then the new beta.
