Hey there all,
Just got the original Shogun the other day and loved it. Would have liked to have gotten MI to but was all out of stock in my local game store, so I bought Medieval instead (well order it, its on its way).
Now my question's are mainly for shogun the original version, no warlord edition or MI.
1.) I was playing through campaign the other day and was the only clan left, bar rebels. I thought I would seens as I had had quite a hard time of it up until now, relax my forces, and build up my provinces technologies and fortify my exisiting castle to max tech before I slowly roll out and sweep away the rebel forces one by one, slowly and methodically. however it reached around the 1600's in game time. I had 2 hiers left at the turn of the century, one 45 (the current dymio) and the other 24. by the middle of the centurey (approx 50 years later) they both died of natural causes without producing any hiers at all. effectively ending my campaign. I was a little bewildered. Is this a feature of the game. Is it set to not allow you to play the campaign for too long. Will they always die out round about that time frame? or was I just terribly unlucky?
2.) Does MI add alot of difference to shogun as I like it but feel it could use just a little more, if MI provides that, I'll continue to search for it even though I am getting medival. Yeah I know thats supposedly better in some areas but I like the whole oriental feel so that will probably keep me playing shogun anyway even with Medieval.
3.) any tips for controlling a large army. I can manage upto 6-7 units easily but as soon as it gets more than that I find myself struggling with groupin and moving in formation, basic stuff. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any help in advance http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif
