Shogun 2: Rise of the Samurai - Hiraizumi Fujiwara Campaign #1 

go fuck yourself

In medieval 2 I had an assassin whom had taken out Multiple popes, assassinated the whole Moor royal bloodline, then I sen him after some lowly Byzantine priest he had a 98% chance of success and got spotted then chased down by the town guard and killed. let's just say it was A shamefur dispray

"Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting them." -The Art of War I love that book.

Untrustworthy allies are a feature of Total War games, not a bug.

I trust my allies and I'll be the first to say I'm an idiot.

Did you see the new Total War Rome 2 game in the bottom left on the menu? You should check that out.

Finally, a guy who enjoys rise of the samurai like I do or something like that.

Props for doing this man, rarely anyone let`s play this campaign on legendary, and I know it's in part because it is by far the most difficult (even if you are the Fujiwara)

4:35 best intro I've bloody ever seen it was beautiful

Fujiwara is my fav faction in ROTS not only because of good starting regions but buffs to your economy. I never rush through my campaign. I take my time building financial superiority.

I saw someond actually ask for this once and agreed. Legend is now doing it. Therefore, Legend accepted a request. lol Seriously, though. I like this campaign. The only annoying part is exactly what Legend mentioned. Samurai aren't cost effective. The name of the pack is RotSamurai and the Samurai aren't that good.

I realize this is an old video and that this comment might even ever be seen, but nevertheless, I feel the need to comment what you've said regarding all allies being backstabbers. In my soon-to-be 400 hours I've put into this game I have found the A.I allies to be in the top two of all TW games regarding their reliability (first one being WH) as allies. Granted that your allies have a good reliability rating, they often times sick with you for a long, long time. I've been allied with Dependable/Steadfast clans basically entire Long campaigns, and they joined all wars I've asked them to (which in most cases have been plenty), even vs Mighty/Terrifying clans. I actually finished my Takeda Long Legendary campaign today, and Imagawa and Sagara rolled with me practically the entire playthrough. Using the word "practically" because the alliances didn't last 100% of the campaign because Imagawa died, and I messed up with the Sagara by requesting them to join me in a war against Chokosabe, to which Sagara was allied with. Later on however I vassalized Imagawa and re-allied Sagara, which lasted till the end of the campaign. Imagawa was Dependable, and Sagara Steadfast, and they stayed with me even after RD. I was never once betrayed by an ally/vassal faction (believe me, I had plenty of both ;P). However, something that would even make an otherwise reliable ally unreliable is this game's HARDCODES. Your sisterclan in this for example is HARDCODED to declare war on you if you take Fukushima, hence why did it now. If you don't, however, there's a high chance that they'll stick with you for a very long time. When I played this as Minamoto (the one who starts in Takeda territory) my Kiso Minamoto sisterclan stayed with me till she died (around 50-60 turns in if I remember it correctly), and joined me every single time someone declared war on me. Needless to say, I'm very happy with alliances in Shogun 2, ;D

Unfortunately the game does not deepen the 'request allegiance' feature. For example you could have multiple choices of how to achieve a town's loyalty: Bribe the local court (money intensive), make reform promises to the people (where you then have to implement reforms like in Rome II in the following turns, but which please the population - otherwise the people become unhappy), or make privilege promises in which a town becomes your protectorate, not directly controlled by you. Each of these options would have their own requirements in costs, how much pro percentage there must be to use them and having their own chance of success. You would literally have to choose the best option for the town and decide what eventual risks you would accept from your choice.

Those shoulder pads are ridiculous

About dang time someone does a Rise of the Samurai campaign on RU-vid!!!

A nugget of wisdom. "Plans Never Survive Contact With The EnEmY"

Wah legend using agents?

Omg i didn’t even know this existed!My first campaign was with this very faction and it was very fun.I guess i know what i’m going to be watching this week!:D

"Lets get trade ships in these... Ah shit..." ~LegendofTotalWar

Shogun 2 is the best total war to date!

I always felt that the Rise of the Samurai campaign was so boring and slow. Hope you give it some life.

Wow legend I didn't know you were a weeb.

"I take offense at being called an idiot because I'm an idiot" What a legend.

i think the quote is more like " to defeat an enemy a 100 times out of a 100 is not the height of skill, it is defeating them without having to fight them" or something like that

25:50 Welp there you go, take my like xD

Hey Legend! like your vids man, you always come up with new interesting campaigns like this one, makes me wanna play shogun again :)

Fujiwara is my favourite! Still, I'd like to see such a full playthrough for Kamakura Minamoto - I'm not able to win the campaign on anything harder than Normal...

thats what I like about FotS: almost all Units have the same size and replenishement

where's the civil war ?

"I played a bit of fall of the samurai and i didnt enjoy it that much" Well that didnt age well :)

Dude that last battle was awesome, I honestly thought you were going to lose

Legend your now the Sassanid Empire with agents lol. Keep up the great vids man

ahahaha "I can do do the info for them so just shut the fuck up" thats gold😂😂

I played as the Fujiwawa and took half of Japan and every clan declared war upon me except my loyal Fujiwawa ally and lots of my own provinces started a revolt and I had to move back my two army’s and I am going to die.

You were wise to choose this faction. Now you can protect your rear flank and position

it'd be cool to see a fall of the samurai campaign but legend goes completely traditional with his armies and wipes out gunpowder and establishes a republic

Very interesting. I’ve always thought FOTS was fun and Rise was boring but I didn’t get far. Watching this to see what I did wrong

Lionheart's warring machine hahah I died there.

"Ok I can do the intro, shut the fuck up" lol hahahaha xD. Almost lost my cup of coffee on that one +LegendofTotalWar

doesn't kaizoku literally mean "pirate"? so isn't kaizoku pirates mean "pirate pirates"?

Heroic victory

you are feeding my illness legend

I'm surprised you're playing RotS, not many Total War RU-vidrs play it. Still hoping for a Call of Warhammer Kislev campaign from you, I can already see the missile cavalry spam.

Cool series, Rise is so underrated. My go-to faction, too :)

Kill as many as you need to... Unless you're playing Scythia... The world will burn for asking me every turn to be a protectorate.

Good plan. The ai cant declare war on you if they dont know you exist.

Regarding the alliances in Shogun, I have noticed that the higher the level the more unreliable is the IA

41:08 "All according to plan"

Hell yeah!! Finally!

1:15:00 of staring at a map. Nice game of risk

I really hope so that you have incrised the size/font of inventory, I mean that is supper small

I've been watching these playlists thinking the normal shogun is like a 50 episode playlist why is this only 10... then I see the 1:36:58 time and realize they are super long episodes.

dude that last fight was another thing..

If you capture a province and the enemy has some building that you don't really need. Why demolish it? What do you gain by doing that? Just keep it. For example at 45:18 he did it.

If you haven't learned already Legend gives 0 fucks about what you want or care about and does what he wants.

Talk about fujiwara were they good at drifting with horses?

Finally! Nice!

I feel you'd get bored of Fall of the Samurai, as well, since many of the modern units are functionally almost identical, other than stats. Maybe one or two ability differences. But the traditional units are still good fun to use

LoL Legend is a Tsundere."It's not like I like my viewers or anything, Baka."Tsundere (ツンデレ, pronounced [tsɯndeɾe]) is a Japanese term for a character development process that describes a person who is initially cold and even hostile towards another person before gradually showing a warmer side over time.

really that shitty face he would have made while mocking his "loyalist" subscribers!

has he always had such a giant chip on his shoulder?

29:33 what a bad luck

Awww yeah. Going to enjoy this one, fucker. :)

This is a shot in the dark...

hell yeah!, then make one of the Fall of the samurai with Darthmod, epic shit dude and is not that bad, maybe u didn't enter too far in the campaign

fuck yeah

36:44 That's what she said

I'm an idiot and I don't trust my allies.

based giga chad doing what he wants. Respect. Gunpowder time frame sucks.

anyone see the "fuk u" engraved on the map

But can you get a Civil War?

When you base intelligence off of a Total War Game :)

Is it wrong that I just leave the tax rate at normal and never mess with it?

Hiraizumi??

I really hope for more Rome 2 in the future :D

Oh. They teach Japanese in high school in Australia? Or was that just a personal thing? I guess it makes sense because Japan is the closest thing to a developed neighbor country... Right?

Yeah allies mean shit in shogun 2

are you a weeb legend

3.07 wtf?

Unsure why it would make someone an idiot for saying a campaign is hard when actually playing the game and not just auto-resolving everything? Can as well go play CK3 then because if you don't do the battles manually (at least regularly) then why play a Total War game when CK outclasses those in every other aspect but the real-time battles?

Haha cool

lol goblin doom divers

Hey No Not Nice You Stop Don’t Make Him You I Want Get Your Way Now Stop Bad More is Your Baby Now Go It Carry now

I cringe every time you jack up the tax rate Legend. You always want to keep it on normal tax rate so the town growth increases, which raises the overall province wealth a substantial amount over time, greatly improving your economy.
