Does this means no more Artificial Idiot ?

Call me a cynic but that's called marketing. Read the paragraph again and see if anything tangible is actually promised or if it simply sounds good. Yet, somewhere, I guarentee there's a kid out there thinking.......Sun Tzu! cool!

Edit: Heroes? Seriously? I wish CA would make a good game and not have a bunch of execs sitting in a room trying to second guess what the 14 yr olds will buy. Then again - I'm not 14 so maybe I'm just not the target audience :D.

I am 14 and I disagree with the idea of hero units in a Total War game...

Hero units?

That would be World of Total Warcraft, wouldn't it?

Shogun 2: Total WoW. What will they think of next?

No offense meant to 14 yr olds. It's the middle age game execs (and movie directors) who try and second guess what they think 14 year olds will like I reserve some contempt for since it's usually based only on an interpretation of what has sold in the past.

Shogun 1 had the sword masters so having different kind of single man units with names is pretty cool. :)
Beeing able to choose the skills the generals get, is not tooo great in my opinion and naval battles in sengoku japan are a catastrophy. Except for that it sounds great. :)
