How many old clans are really coming back?

[Gregoshi]

I'm guessing the Doragons will not rise from the ashes.

I'm trialing in Aggony although I've hardly been around due to work and shamefully buying an xbox. Clan Takiyama (Mizu) is doubtful a lot of us split when Rome launched others like Jochi and Marcus are in Ronin.

Tears/Donbatti has been on NTW a bit, but apart from him and Jochi I've not spoken to any others apart from Orda here and a brief convo with CBR on MSN who may consider returning if its good.
Not sure what Yuuki and Tosa will do?

From Shogun days I've always kept in touch with my old clan m8 Linksan/EuroSan from chain and euro clans he may return if the games good. I have also seen some Elite's around.

But like others have said I expect the old to stick together due to the great times we had in Shogun and MTW its amazing how old some of us are these days coughs in Jochis direction :)

Just be nice to see as many old faces as possible tbh.

Nobody said that resurrecting a clan means bringing back all the old members and continue on the same path as left eight or seven years ago. Too much time has passed for that. Old clans will not "come back" in that form - as we remember them.

What can happen is for a few, or even one, old clan member to resurrect the name and the spirit of their respective clan. Re-build the membership base from grounds up, keep the name and retain the history and values. There will be undoubtedly many new players and at release, the timing will be perfect. It's only a question of leadership and strong will. Happened before, will happen again.

I'm sure the Grey Wolves will make a return and surely many of their future STW2 members will be new, but they will undoubtedly capture the old Wolf spirit. Like them, other clans can come back...

If the game is good and I will like it, I wouldn't mind getting Kenchikuka back on its feet, either. With some luck and some courage, we could easily have 20 new members and still claim to be the oldest clan in Total War. :)

Marcus and I play as ^Nomads^, individuals who play together but not tied to any Clan.

It seems that a lot of the older players are coming together already and having some fun playing NTW.

Its amazing how old some of us are these days coughs in Jochis direction :)

The older we get in years the more we enjoy ourselves.
The one thing I do admire among the players who know me and my real age is the fun comments and the happy joking that takes place.
Have you ever tried leading an army using a 'walker' or 'zimmer frame' as we call them??

One need not have all thy old members to be a great old clan today- Good point.

Greetings EVERYONE!

Hope you are all doing great. Nice to see you all again after a long time.

I'm likely to be be back for Shogun2, perhaps not on March 15th but probably by summer. I've played the demo in various forms and I can say I very much like what I see. I cannot predict how the game will be but it does look promising, to me, at this stage. I'm going to be involved in the game launch in Belgium, organizing a launch event with some support from Sega. So if any of you are in the neighborhood around March 19th, give me a shout and it will be a pleasure to send you an invite to the event. It's going to be around 30-40 people, 24 PCs at a dedicated games café. LAN & internet multiplayer, hopefully some sushi and sake!

I'm also very keen on joining a clan for this game, provided the multiplayer offers decent tactical gameplay. So if any of you are looking for an old Ronin, please feel free to send me any details of your offer. I would be willing to be part of a clan which takes the teamwork seriously and plays with some tactics and strategy in mind.

Salute!

Hi all,

I've been following STW2 for the last month or so, and was greatly encouraged by the demo. It 'feels' like shogun again, unlike the rest of the TW series which I have serious problems with (lets not go there).

I'm posting here as I used to be a regular in this forum. My username was OUT4BLOOD, and I played with that and various different aliases (MaskedTerror, TheLoneWolf etc). I was only 13 back then (23 now - ouch), so apologies for being the annoying prick that I almost inevitably was. I'm glad I managed to find my way back to this forum, as I have some fond memories of events (especially the tournaments) and people here. I'm also happy to see I recognise some of the old names posting.

I seem to remember it was one of the mods on this forum that ensured both prizes from the tournaments I won safety arrived, so thanks again for that. The Tanto is still sitting proudly on my wall:



Shogun (and Age of Empires) ignited the competitive online spirit in me, that's lasted for 10 years. I think I ended up stopping Shogun for Counter-Strike where I played pretty seriously, from then I went to various MMO's and RTS.

I will most likely play agaiun, and I really hope Shogun2 can present a viable platform for competitive e-sport.

peaceout

AH, so you the legendary person who won the samurai sword .

Well, mines ordered.

So that'll be JOD the ronin back.

I never joined any clan after palying STW for quite some time.

Cannot wait to get stuck back into it.

JOD.
