Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Next Total War Game May Be Shogun 2?

Playing as the Shimazu, first I wiped out the purple crowd, Ito I think is their name
Then slowly and steadily took over that island, once I had that the resources were pumping in. I like my treasury nice and fat
Built up three good armies and worked my way down, wiping out the Mori.
Eventually took Kyoto and after one year became Shogun. :cool:
I was expecting lots of respect and cowering Warlords but nothing changed.
Kyoto is so easy to defend though, get 8-9 archer groups and the place is a deathtrap, would regulary kill over 1,000 men and lose less the 150.
Eventually the Takeda thought outside the box and sent an invasion force back to the Island where I started. Lost most of the terrority and wiped out my finances.
Was a slow steady decline from there and I never recovered
What I learned, keep some troops at home to protect it, not have everyone at the front :rolleyes:0 -
so tempted to buy this game but hardly have the time to play the ones I already have
buy now and get a game which by their record tend to be buggy at first or wait a few months...game shops just 5 mins walk...must resist...lol0 -

SegmentNext are usually a pretty good rescource for this kind of thing. They're compiling a list of what seem to be inherent bugs as well as common hardware and software issues to give to the Devs. From their research so far...7# Blue Screen at Start Up
Normally Blue Screen of Death is mostly caused by a software issue. Some corrupted driver installation or minimum memory required to play the game exceeds your current physical memory. Make sure you meet the minimum requirements, and have good working drivers installed.
Edit:
And after a little more research, seems their are a good few people on the totalwar.com forums that have had the BSOD issue and dun dun du dunnnnn, they fixed it by updating their drivers.
It's a brand new game. It's more than likely going to be harnessing the latest drivers from pretty much every part of the rig.
Anyway, if updating the drivers doesn't work, head over to tw.com and start a thread in the compatibility section of the tech forums. Their tech staffers are doing individual research on the issue on a case by case basis and they might be able to help further.
I don't even have the game yet. I'm experiencing it vicariously. :pac: 0 -

Nothing more foolish then building a large and top rated army and then transporting them in just one ship
Ship gets intercepted and the army I spent years building up goes to a watery grave without even a blade drawn in anger
And I've done it more then once

First TW game I haven;t fancied playing in a long time. I'm holding out for Rome2 or Med3.
Ah Rome 2 should be epic, unless they opt for the Shogun 2 style over substance...
One thing that they improved was the RPG element of the generals and family members, that could work well with Rome 2. First total war game where I've been like, meh, after 5 or 6 turns. 0 -

Should be able to grab a link via steam no ?, once you exit the game you get the option to upload via Steam.
If not..go to your GAME LIBRARY, find your game, when the details appear..updates etc etc...scroll to the very bottom, and you should see all screenshots taken with that game there, you can then go in and should be able to upload them.
Failing that, they are stored in a specific folder on your local PC with STEAM Folder (search for 'screenshot' in Windows search whilst in your STEAM folder) which I can get later for you and you can upload to a hosting site if ye need them that way.
Also, how are people finding the clan / campaign section ?
Although the idea and premise is excellent, finding it very hard to get matches. I think 4 in my clan got it, and we are at a very low level, but finding it hard to get any kind of matchmaking going atm...still some bugs need ironing out methinks.
Also, the first person to start the game sets a timer in place for everyone, so you only get 60 secs to assemble your army if someone is over anxious.
We had some great 3v3s though, and some internal 2v2s which you still get awarded exp for ...loving the levelling up of your general and unlocking different units. Getting creamed for the most part as mostly mine are ashigaru vrs Yari etc , but that will change with time 0 -

You can upload them to your Steam Cloud profile then copy and paste the url for them:
Here's a few of mine:

I'm pretty new to the whole Total War turn based strat map, I never really got into it in the first Shogun or or TW games, I have a question about the Chosokabe campaign, I took control of the little island, then sent my army across to the Ashikiga for the mission, but as soon as I won the siege, I got a cut-scene and it sent me back to the game menu, was that the end of it?
The victory conditions on the campaign screen said control 25 territories by 1575, It was year 1572 or something when I won the battle, did I run out of time or did they expect me to control the whole country in a few years?

If you own the full version of the game it sounds like a bug do a search on the total war forums for it0 -

I tried another campaign (Shimazu) but got killed pretty early, by an ally who just decided to declare war.
Is there any sort of basic guide to tell you how to manage your lands and stuff?
I don't mind the actual rock paper scissors battles, but this turn-based stuff is not my thing, I have no idea on what I'm supposed to be doing each turn.
The mission goals for Shimazu were "expand to the next province, and trade with the foreigners" but mentioned nothing about backstabbing bastard neighbours with larger armies than you!

Check the strategy forums at twcenter.net they should have plenty of advice for the turn based section. If you have a neighbour with a bigger army than you, unless you are on very good terms with them, expect trouble, this is feudal Japan after all
You can either recruit more units to make them think twice about attacking, use diplomacy (bribe them and/or offer a hostage or a marriage for peace), or get your retaliation in first.
If you attack a castle of theirs, just siege it unless you absolutely have to take it this turn. They will usually sally out to attack you after a turn or two, in which case you get to fight them in a field rather than having to break into the castle.0 -
I did the shiamzu campaign , the trick with the early game for them is leave the enemy bring the battle to you.BopNiblets wrote: »I tried another campaign (Shimazu) but got killed pretty early, by an ally who just decided to declare war.

let them attack your castles and always always do a castle defense yourself the computer just cannot do these properly and you will do a much better job yourself . So have your castles loaded with troops , do the defense yourself have good few archers and spearmen backed up with small amount of calv and swordsmen . When you win a castle defense do a very quick counter attack into the nearest enemy province and take the castle quickly and bunker down again .
Rinse and repeat for early game shiamzu until you have all of the first island .
For shiamzu dont ally with your neighbours you will need to break an alliance quite early in the game to expand and then your diplomacy with everyone will suffer early.
Also something some people missed early on is that to maintain food levels you need to upgrade farms almost every time you upgrade castle as castle upgrades consume food.0 -
