What I miss from Shogun

Wow. You guys are making me all nostalgic for STW. And I went and gave away my copy to a friend when I got MTW.

And you cant buy it in Oz anymore http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/pissed.gif Maybe my freind will lend it back to me.

I personally DO NOT miss the throne room and ninja cutscenes in Shogun, since after you saw them the first few times, they became a chore. I do miss seasons, and realism, which (as I said in a topic of my own a few months ago) this game is nearly devoid of. Also, I think Rebels should be put at a lower priority than things like MP balancing, separate stats for MP and SP, and an operational level of combat (the arena in which many generals have been brilliant, most notably Napoleon).

I miss the speech for the harvest report "Your peasants are worthy only of punishment..."

But then I missed that in the Mongol Invasion too.

Seeing which faction ran each province on the strategy map (or the zoom) would be nice. The Throne Room was not ideal but right now we have too little information (although we get by with a full trade network).

Sure.....the FMV scenes in shogun were really coooool.

Did you ever check the disk in explorer as there are many more that never seemed to come up in the game such as the shogun funeral pyre?

We want more.....................

I miss that I never got the Mongul Invasion and can't find it anywhere now http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/frown.gif Don't miss the cutscenes though as they were really annoying after the first time. Added to the imersion a bit until you got bored and wondered off whilst the emmissary muttered on and on.

BDC try ebay, if u dont have an account maybe we can work something out where i buy it for u and then send it to u and u send me the money. let me know. if ur not sure ask around, i am trustworthy.

If MTW had "seasons", then once a year, after a few successfuly "raids", a player should get a message from the leader of the Rebels demanding "payment" in exchange for peace. Isn't this what powerful rebels did?

GREAT IDEA but they should only raid if they are bandit rebels. peasent rebels should be more peaceful because they are just normal peasants who doesent like high taxes or that you are excommed, but bandits are evvil people that like to kill people.

oh, and peasant rebels should build more than bandits because bandits never have the time for that they just raid and party.

Ya and Rebels should "recuit" more soilders from nearby provinces and peasents should build and focus on farming and building.

I miss the strafing. I dont understand why this was taken out. In MTW, you move your soldiers like 10 feet, they turn around, move to the position, then face forward again. Would be so much easier with Strafing.

Thanks for the offer MiniKiller but it's ok, a good idea to look though. I miss having castles that were completely useless and pointless defensively.

You guys do know that its possible to have *both* games installed on your harddrives at the same time.... right? Right???

for all of you who miss the seasonal turns from Shogun, the word is that Rome Total War will have seasonal turns as well. I guess thats one less thing for people to sob over http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/joker.gif .

I thought Rome wasn't having turns at all...

Or at least not the risk type part.

I miss Naginata Cavalry http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif and seasons and maps with decent defensive positions.
Especially defensive positions that aren't on the edge of the map.

I miss rebel invasions.
I miss monks.
I miss Naginata.
I miss Mongol light cavalry... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/redface.gif no, wait... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif

I miss cool unintelligible Japanese quotes.

I miss being able to mostly concentrate on just conquering Japan instead of all this fiddling around trying to marry off your daughters, make sure you've got good governers in all your provinces and a busy map.
I miss the little icons on the provinces showing what they are good for.
I miss the hint in words that a province has iron deposits.
