Between using a Gatling gun in 3rd person view to mow down charging enemy troops and using a coastal battery to fire long range barrages at naval ships, from the beautiful landscape of 19th century Japan to the fiery battlements of shogunate fortresses the greatest gunpowder game of the Total War series is here, and it isn’t Empire or Napoleon, it’s Shogun 2 Fall of The Samurai.
In this video I go through all the reasons why this game deserves to be one of, if not the best of the Historical games in the series and very much still worth playing in 2024. From the dynamic and often challenging campaign to the fantastic engaging battles if you've truly ben itching for a gunpowder Total War, you have to try Fall of The Samurai.

Also this is as close as we've been really to a Victorian Total War. Can we all agree having FOTS battles on a global map would just be the best thing ever? I would honestly hold my Medieval 3 dreams for that. Let me know what you think of FOTS in the comments below!

@luelee6168 4 месяца назад

I hated the setting of this game. The traditional armies of the Shogunate forces were as modernized as the Imperial forces. In fact neither the Imperial or Shogunate sides were the first modern armies of Japan. The first modern armies in Japan were actually private armies of two clans; who's names I unfortunately forgot. After these clans were defeated in battle by western forces these clans immediately modernized their armies with western technology and tactics; becoming the first modern Japanese forces in Japan in this era. The traditional factions did not fight adorned in armor, wielding only sword and bows. These were modernized armies of predominantly samurai retainers and peasants armed with western style weapons. The traditions the Shogunate forces wanted to preserve was not technological but social ones.

I'd love to see Empire remade with the Shogun 2 engine and AI. I love the Warhammer games, but to me they feel more like arcade campaigns, and I do think that CA could implement some features from past games in future releases. They're supposed to build on previous knowledge, goddamint!

@ashamahee 4 месяца назад

I am not a fantasy fan but they could have made those games truly epic if they didnt water down so many mechanics, that lore/ip is so full of diverse units and races that it is mindblowing and they kind of managed the magic aspect far better then I had expected, however look at the empires gunpowder units as an example, they use crossbow mechanics and it just ruins so much of the immersion of them as they can shoot in arcs and even through their own men etc. keeping mechanics and improving them would actually make me a historical TW fan really like the fantasy ones as well.

BTW: What mods are you running with this game? I think I have DarthMod installed however not sure if this mod is even good anymore? Which mods would you recommend for this game to be running in 2024 for the best gaming experience? Keep up the great content, sir! :)

@danshakuimo 4 месяца назад

Still waiting for CA to make a game set in the Zemene Mesafint (aka The Age of Princes) in Ethiopia, which is similar to the Sengoku Jidai in Japan with a weak emperor and regional rulers fighting for power. This happened around the same time as the FOTS time period so you have a mix of both traditional and modern units too allowing for that dynamic gameplay. Ethiopia is very ethnically diverse (and larger then maps make it seem), so the rulers from different regions will have access to unique units that represent that region, with the Ras of Shewa obviously having access to the famous Oromo cavalry, who will need to contend with the modernizing Ras of Tigray with his modern arms and artillery, and support of the church. And of course, the historical winner, the bandit emperor Tewodros II, who can have a special ability to add units from defeated armies into his own. Though a lot of the units will be like those used by Zagwe in the AD1212 mod for Attila, but now with skirmisher cav using rifles. Obviously a really niche time in history that is even less known than FOTS's and CA will never make a game about it, but it just seems so cool in my head. Edit: can be in a Victoria era game though

Would be a great mod that I would play as well. I love playing Zagwe in the Atilla 1212 AD mod. I dominate all of Africa, Arabia, the Levant and the Byzantine area of Anatolia and Greece.
