Frogbeastegg's Guide to Total War: Shogun II

A great guide and if I'd had it earlier I would have saved many hours of botched and abandoned legendary difficulty campaigns - Sega/CA should pay you to do one of these with each new release.

That would be nice!

Would also like to register thanks for your guide!

As a recent recruit to Shogun 2 (Steam sale, etc) I was respectfully wondering if you had any plans to update it after the big recent (March 2012) patch? I noticed a lot seems to have changed. For example, Nanban Trade Ships seem to have been nerfed quite a bit and the Benny Hill speed of battles has slowed down, morale *seems* to work a bit differentlly, necessitating a change in tactics. There's probably a lot under the covers I haven't spotted. Appreciate you're probably hard at work on FOTS but worth asking...?

Hello, and thanks.

Unfortunately, I'm not intending to write a FotS guide. I simply do not have time to manage it.

I'll have to play a game to test the Shogun II changes out. That will take a few weeks, since I've also got to play FotS. If there are significant changes I'm not sure what I'll be able to do; the way the guide is structured behind the scenes makes it time consuming and difficult to edit, and I don't have nearly as much time available as I did when writing it. I suppose I could put together an appendix containing updated tips where necessary, and also include the few errata other people have brought forward. Not sure that it would be very helpful, although it would be significantly less time intensive for me. I don't want to make any promises as I know the next couple of months are going to be particularly busy; I'll be starting a new job and will have to go on a lengthy training period.
