Have you ever wanted to know more about Shogun 2's mechanics, posing one of the following questions? (or those like them)


If so, then you'll definitely want to head over to the Confucian Academy, the sub-forum dedicated to exploring the inner workings of TWS2 that seeks to give you the competitive edge. Although only being open for a few weeks now, some very high quality threads have already emerged.

We have all the answers* and the tests to back them up
*If we don't have the answer, we do have a place to ask the question

As an example of some of the things you'll find, take a look at a graph from archer results. The goal was to test lethality of archers against different formation settings.

Is this the kinda thing that interests you? It should be. Intricate understanding of the game can help you get a leg up, on both human and CPU opponents! Why not jump over to the sub-forum and join the discussion?

Made in the same spirit as RTW's Ludus Magna, this new forum will be dedicated to research and the exploration of the nuts and bolts of Shogun 2.

Head over now at this link and aid the discussion!

And just like that, the bell tolls and the voting comes to an end. I'm proud to present the finalists who made it through the rigorous process of elimination, all of the submissions were truly fantastic and narrowing it down was quite hard. SO hard, apparently, that we ended up with a couple of ties!

A big thanks to everyone who has participated, from the artists to those who cast their vote. We wouldn't have gotten this far without you, and now without further procrastination...

Another week has come and gone here at the .Org, it seems September is just flying by. But before it all ends lets do a double-take to see what you might be missing!

GeneralHankerchief is recruiting for the largest Mafia game of the year, a massive list of 50 members is going to be supported for War in Heaven.

Head over to the official thread to get an idea of what's in store. 30 slots are already claimed, so act now!

The wishlist for S2TW Multiplayer, collected over several forums, is growing by the day. Magyar Khan and others have been fostering a great discussion on what may improve the TW MP experience and its well worth your time to read.
