Yes id have to agree its a big gamble from ca, rome2 would have been a much safer bet.
I wonder if theyre banking on big sales in japan itself as it surely would not be hard for sega to market it there.

Not unless they port it to the PS3 or the Wii. IE a platform that Japanese gamers will actually use.

I would hazard to guess that the majority of the Japanese gaming market would prefer something more "exotic" from their point of view than a game based on their own history. I think they'd be especially sensitive to any historical inaccuracies too, particularly given that the producer is a westerner. Hence, I don't think the Japan would be one of CA's primary target markets with this one.

Though I'm not sure why they chose Shogun 2 over Rome 2, they'll be able to re-use much of the historical research they did for either of the original games in a re-make. This allows them to focus resources on other aspects of the game. This is a win for those of us too, who enjoyed either of the original games, provided the results of said focus are significant.

Yes, I recall Augustus recording his feelings on fighting a united gaul front with Arcani.

Not even mentioning flaming pigs who could run for miles and scare elephants and barbarians hurling heads, or the Naked fanatics who weren't even naked or the Mummy Returns egyptians or the .... ( I could go on for ages)

Didn't CA want to reduce the number of different units to 30, because the ****heads might get confused with 31 units. And since you can't mod, you have to stick with the 30 units or buy 3,5 units for 10 bucks. Welcome to the new era, welcome to steam!

well, in fact, many of us enjoy some vanilla experience, but hate some other vanilla... me for example, I loved play my Napoleon TW even on vanilla, as they have excellent things to be portayed, and actually make up for some good feelings and balance... but I said vanilla ETW is total worthless... TOTAL WORTHLESS... (unless with Darth Mod, made them suddenly turned to be awesome)
