Unlike depicted in the film, The Last Samurai, many Samurai were corrupt and not paragons of chivalry, leading to popular discontent.
The campaign takes place during the Boshin War and subsequent Meiji Restoration in the 19th century, when the Emperor was trying to overthrow the existing Shogunate. As well as this, place names and territorial extents have been changed to reflect the period on the original three islands. The campaign map has been expanded from the original Shogun 2 to include the island of Ezo, in Northern Japan, which until this era had never been seen as a real part of the nation. The campaign map again looks gorgeous, with the fog of war being shown by a European 19th century map of Japan, gradually revealing itself to show a meticulously crafted landscape. I’ll start with talking about the single player version of the game having already spent 28 hours on one hard campaign and several hours on others.
#Expanded empire total war map series
The latest release in the series, Fall of the Samurai, is a standalone expansion pack to Shogun 2 which takes the series to its most modern setting yet, and introduces a number of changes and innovations. Since the release of Shogun: Total War in June 2000 the award winning Total War series, loved for its mix of turn based strategy and real time battles, has expanded to include a number of periods in history, from the rise of Rome to the intrigue of Medieval Europe. NOTE: Fall of the Samurai is standalone and does not require the original Shogun 2 to play.
