So I finally bought this Fall of the Samurai device, thought I might as well give my thoughts about it.
Thought #1: This games kinda...slow, I guess is what I'd call it. I'm playing as Tosa and i'm 3 and a half years into my campaign( a year is like 24 turns or something?) and I've only captured 3 provinces, though i'm not too far from capturing Sanuki, the last Shikoku province.
Modernisation also takes a while in my opinion but it's probably supposed to be like that, took me a year and a half to get to level 2 then another year to reach level 3
Thought #2: This game is mightly challenging, as pointed out above, 3 years in and I only have 4 provinces.
I went into most of my early battles thinking "ha ha samurai enemies, I have guns!" Now I have learnt to respect and somewhat fear samurai, they are worthy foes.
I've also been bankrupt 3 or 4 times, doesn't help when all the buildings cost lots of money but I've survived somehow.
Thought #3: The map is way different and took a while to get used to but now I think the new map is amazing.
Thought #4 Most of all this game is FUN! I never would have thought, with all the challenge and hardship that i've faced that it would be so fun. Fun, fun, fun.
I've missed alot of other stuff in the game but this basically sums up my experience so far. All up this game is really quite amazing and I really have to thank CA for making it.
