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.

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 -
