Links to Good Shogun Strategies

[Hiroshi-O'Duff]

Catiline's strategy linking within the Sword Dojo should be complemented with some links to decent strategies around the WWW. What sites do you all like for Shogun Strategies?

I like the following (reader must decide whether the strategies are good -- but these all will make you THINK about good strategy if nothing else):

How to Attack Across a Bridge in Shogun: Total War: http://compstratgames.about.com/c/ht/00/09/How_Attack_Bridge_Shogun0968264980.htm

Unit Guides (how to best use units): http://compstratgames.about.com/library/weekly/aa100800a.htm

Terazawa’s Site at Totalwar.ORG: http://terazawa.totalwar.org/frame-tips.htm

A good miscellaneous strategy site: http://www.geocities.com/totalwarshogun/

Kikujiro’s Funny (but also useful) UNITS discussion (s/he also has some other good stuff there): http://www.geocities.com/inoue2uk/lowdown.html

You summed up the creme de la creme of sites http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

coo, thanks for the plug http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

yah im working on more strategic stuff, plus the Drunken Masters are churning out a few chat logs for me to edit.. hehe.

anyhoo, since joining a clan, my strategic knowledge has doubled in a fifth of the time it took me to accumulate it when i was a Ronin.

Either hitch up a group of gamers and learn from them, or join a clan, if you want to get to the real juicy hints..

if you still want to go it alone prepare for learning the hard way, plus be a very keen and dedicated observer an youll pick up tactics off of opponents in no time.

Keep up the good work Kikujiro

[smoothdragon]

IMO this site is the best of the Shogun sites:
http://home.soneraplaza.nl/qn/prive/k.ypma/

[Hiroshi-O'Duff]

I agree, Smoothdragon. Great site. I learned a few juicy tidbits from it already.

I always wondered about this one:
3. Getting your 'heir' in the wrong unit type

If your heir matures he just will pop up in the next unit you are training. If you are training a heavy cavalry and a Ashigaru he can pop up in the Ashigura! So always save the game before ending your season. When the heir does pop up you load the old game and just train one unit that season.

[Kikujiro]

Mooning Ashigaru comic is up at my site

check it out if ya wanna.

map strat. sections are going to be added to each map review page.

as i have over twenty maps reviewed so far, i will have my work cut out, but rest assured theyll be done bit by bit, day by day.

take it easy
