What Your Favorite Total War Shogun 2 Clan Says About You 

And wood elves

Yeah both in starting positions, the expansion rate and bow spams.

Nah dude i only play tutonic and isengard on daq hehe

Damn you got me there

agincourt simulator

Oh my god you’re right. Why didn’t I think of this lol

Yep. I just want musket battles again..

That hits home way too hard

I know right? Otomo is ETW done right basically

Nah I just want to blow shit up and use badass muskets, ETW sucks. 0tomo forever.

Lol

Ahh welcome and thank you so much dude you’re videos are truly on another level that how could I not mention them! :)

A blessing from the pewpew lord himself!

Omg he is commenting 🙀

Yooooo did Not expect to see you here

Some weird christisn boys from Kyushu: *Loads twice as many tanegashima with twice the religious intent*

@@Borthax Some weird christian boys from Kyushu: *FIFE AND DRUM SOUNDS INTENSIFIES*

Oda Nobunaga worshipped guns

@@krieger8825He loves everything that came from the West

*loads European Cannons and Blunderbusses with very malicious intent*

Ashigarus in the oda clan didnt use sticks lol

Or Woman. just saying

@@Vince120D nobunaga isnt a woman

@@Vince120D you're not very smart are you

Oda Nobunaga is the Best!

BANZAI indeed :D For Tyr! ehm... For Bishamon!

BANZAAAAIIIII!!

Same

Same

Same

I agree

I agree with you. The Shimazu have all what I like about the Samurai ... the red armor and ocus on Katana. their spirit (in game) is like that of a wolverine, or a honey badger, so they match my craziness lol

Why do you think he said you love patient campaign? Because of that long ass territory of the Date

this is 100% true i prefer date for the easy start and kinda early stone (if you play quickly and aggressively) and its always alot of fun watching no-datchai charge from 1 side while cave destroys from the other

takeda roasts

Uh...yea! Definitely not because I like money...and berserk sword-spear monks...

@@plot6520 weak roast tbh. The only reason Uesugi Kenshin is associated with the sohei was because he was a devout Buddhist. He only allied himself with the Ikko-Ikki sometime in 1575 because Nobunaga was becoming too powerful. Other clans have more prominent ties with monk sects than the Uesugi. Mori (Shogun TW got this right), Asai, Asakura, and Tokugawa had more prominent ties with sohei sects. As for the trade bonus clan trait, it's inspired by an incident of chivalry between Kenshin and Shingen. When rival daimyos (Imagawa?) conspired to deprive Kai, a land-locked province, of salt, Kenshin implored Shingen to source salt from Echigo. This appears as a dilemma in the game.

@@marvinm8343 How did I say anything as a roast? Those were my genuine reasons for playing the faction.

@@plot6520 sorry, my bad. r/woosh moment.

"It is the job of God to forgive you, and it is my job to arrange a meeting!"

And for obvious reasons no likes

You're not alone

Not sure why Hattori don’t get more love. Your whole army gets Kisho training and you can do some bonkers stuff with that

bigger upkeep cost? who cares we can spam military acces

Hattori player here, with massed armies of yari and bow ashigaru.

Agreed, I love both their colors a lot!

Also true

Just survive early game and then dominate with the power of faith and naginatas, Uesugi rise up!

@@ShallowTeal i manage to build nanban quarter as uesugi guns and canons for the win

@@fathurrahman9355 You have to go christian to build the nanban quarter

First faction i nailed a very hard with ironically

Expand through date territory, claim date armoury, afk for 20 turns and let your +5 armor monk bois go brr on takeda.

I'm falling in love with the Takeda clan when I watched that film♥️

Great film (Kurosawa + George Lucas), Guns > Horses. Also if you haven't seen it, see "Heaven and Earth" (1990), will appreciate the Takeda & Uesugi relationship. Great depiction of the Battle of Kawanakajima.

It's a great movie. Keep in mind the events portrayed represent one popular theory of what occurred but should not be taken as historical fact. We know little about Shingen's use of body doubles and even less about when and where he died, only that the siege ended in a disastrous defeat for the Takeda who wouldn't push back out from Kai until Katsuyori disobeyed his advisors.

Why don't just convert to Catholicism

Just started their campaign for the first time, is it worthwhile to go Christian or should I stay Shinto?

Deus Vult!!

I always convert Shimazu

Deus Vult!

why not convert another clan then? the Takeda with their Cavalry are closer to what a Crusader would be.

Not a Christian but these heathens need to taste some Faith, Gunpowder & Steel.

It's crazy that Uesugi is the most difficult clan in Total War but the easiest clan to reunify Japan in EU4.

nothing beats the ol' "oh look, they're sendng their Daimyo up the wall now" feeling.

@@captainnyet9855 mhm indeed

As an Ottomo player I really enjoy defensive sieges. Those Tercos are just devastating if you find a good spot where you can put a double stacked Yari Wall in front of the wall. 300-400 kills are normal.

@@captainnyet9855 So true, in my game the Ai was dumb enough to send Takeda Shingen up the wall

I love Kenshin but they just have a tough early game imo and not much time to prepare or develop before it

@@TripleZHacker The worst part about the Uesugi are the Yamanouchi. If they didn't exist, it'd be a much more enjoyable campaign.

@@AvengerAtIlipa I just start the campaign by building an early fleet and army, then I sink the entire army of the honma when they're on sea with said fleet. Secure the island, which is one of the most profitable regions on the map and trade with everyone along the coastline, then when the Hojo or someone else declares war on my vassal I ofc come to there rescue... Unfortunately I just come one turn too late to help them defend but in an effort to avenge them I sweep the Hojo. So I end up with a line from the north right to the south coast. I make friends with the Takeda and whoever is on the west. Then I continue to sweep the east side. When I'm done with the Date I hold a third of Japan, you have about 15 regions and only need to look west. Make your military and economy ready for the push toward Kyoto and the realm divide.

Yeah good points I mean again any player can dominate with any clan but that upkeep is too tough on those harder difficulties

@@TripleZHacker it's definitely a big factor, but not insurmountable. But yeah it will keep them overlooked by a lot of players

@@FShani of for sure veteran plays can deal with it but yeah generally most players have a tough time as them, their early game is decent though and there’s some options to deal with the Ikko and Oda, definitely a fun campaign like you mentioned

Agreed, had a good campaign with Hattori. Kisho allows for better terrain composition, such as in forests and to flank the enemy. Something that any samurai army should be able to do (Watch the epic series "Zipangu" for some good Oda and samurai content).

you know Deus means god right?

@@bokonoo77 I know. And you didn't get the joke desu.

@@KyoushaPumpItUp I know the joke. Deus and Desu both start with the same word. But Desu Vult lacks spirit, faith, and will

seems we are a rare breed, high levels of kisho ninja agents assassinate all generals and daimyo in your way, weakening the army morale fightibg withouy their leader so easy to break and if outnumbered, night battles are your forte dishing them one by one

Just have to go for the gold.

Ahahaha so true

As a Christian I can both Confirm this, and specify that I play Turtle on Kyushu until blitzkreig-ing the Japanese Mainland within a 30-35 year period.

Blitzkrieg is good stradegy for conquer

Good God you know what? You were absolutely right lol

Practicing Catholic, can confirm. _Take your Samurai on a Crusade,_ amirite?

Ikr the dude is on another level with those edits

And the dank memes make the video timeless

20? Those are rookie numbers boyo

lol

Fukking Otomo be listening to Sabaton's Last Stand

It’s true

They’re some of the best cutscenes in the whole total war series and ooof that’s cruel but also practical 😂

The only way to battle

Yup siege explosions are the best (:

Nobunaga from Drifters: Am I a joke to you?

Yup, found the Hojo player here...

I managed to take Kyoto with 3 Tercos, 4 Donerbuss cav and 2 cannons. Was a long but fun fight kiting them around with the cav!

Welcome and thanks a bunch :) hahaha yes banzai!!

_Spread the _*_WORD OF THE LORD! _**_-DESU-_**_ DEUS VULT!_*

Hospital can refill yr troop so fast that u can yell waggggghhhhhhhh when invading yr enemies

My 1st as well! Someone who likes the unorthodox I see! Got to admit ikko ikki is tided for me. pirate naval monks or angry peasants with monks! The unit roster versatility of ikko ikki is undeniable. ronin are a trap mind. whistling arrows & war cry are so good! I personally don't oda shimazu et cetera as it is 1 or 2 unit's spammed.

I played a few clans before uesugi but they bored me to take pauses. 2nd was Hojo then 3rd completion ikko iki. I never completed the Hotori, fun to conquer but boring to play!

uesugi are so fun as you will not make the whole army monk warriors, monk bows & under rated though not great monk cavalry. I much prefer a varied unit roster. Edit: I have a personnel soft spot for mori & Hojo as their unintentionally poorly designed unique faction army units are meh/impractical to spam. variety is the spice of life.

I think a fair number of Shogun 1 vets probably played Uesugi first in Shogun 2. They were something of a fan favorite in 1 and a lot of a folks underestimated how challenging they would be in 2

Thanks man I try my best :)

@@TripleZHacker keep up, I'm sure you'll have lots of subs ^^

Talking shit about oda ?? I smell takeda shit

Yeah, cheating by looking into Wallenstein and Tilly. Catholic League Terico rules !

I haven't gotten to that point, but to be honest given how people hate the Ikko anyway... 'The rest of the clans have declared war upon us, My Lord!' 'What other clans?' '...The Hojo.' 'And?' 'Just the Hojo, and a errant cabbage farmer.'

Happy to make shogun 2 content and he’s a great creator though definitely watched most of his videos

Ah yes an underdog position is a good way to put it and who doesn’t love an underdog!

The campaign with mods is amazing so I don’t blame you for always sticking to expanded Japan!

@@TripleZHacker The first one I played on it was the Uesugi and... well, your video remains fairly accurate in that regard, lol

@@TripleZHacker I am now playing again, this time as the Uesugi again, and I've managed it better this time and rule half of Japan lol

XD

*Oooof* I'd like to see Volund survive that one; less 'Impossible Battles' and more 'Impossible Series of Battles'.

Sorry for your loss convince him to play again xD

@@TripleZHacker I've tried for 10 years with almost every release. I don't think he's coming back. Lol. But thanks for commenting back.

Thanks mate and exactly!!

YES! :)

Im that mf who loves spamming BANZAI with no dachi samurai and loves takeda cav, whats funny is that i like the teutonic dlc for medieval 2 mainly cuz i love useing ritterbrudder cavalry

Thank you so much! XD honestly I don’t blame you it’s such a fun one

Thank you!

Thank you and yes Oda is such a fun campaign game
