All the Shimazu do is tank in with one full army a pyrhic victory for me. So in my recent playthrough on easy as the Chosakbe I took all of that island and part of the southern tip of Honshu with two full banners. If I wanted a civilization game I would play civilization. Also, why do my vassals always betray me? It should be a valid option and if you are on a string of victories the Ai should not be so eager to betray you all the time. Why does me sacking a wooden castle in the middle of nowhere make the population revolt? Surely wiping your enemy out would cow them into submission? When the game is so tight with the resources (of course the AI has infinite money n no public order troubles at all) you can gain and the armies you can raise its pretty unfair. There are a ton of things like food, Daimyo survival and modernization that just make holding public order intolerable. The result is that every battle turns into a meatgrinder in which even if you do win it leaves you with no soldiers left.ģ- Public order should not be that extreme and full banner armies should not just be handed out to rebel factions. However, the AI immediately detached two samurai cavalry and generals to search the distant forests even though it was saying my units were hidden. In one battle with the Shimazu against an elite army I was relying on my four light cavalry flank charging the enemy. The AI is programmed to automatically intercept your flankers regardless of the command rating of the AI general and has an unfair advantage because it searches for your hidden units. So all the AI does is blob all of its elite units into a few massive armies and overwhelms you on a berserk charge.Ģ- Flanking no longer works. Every AI faction has ready access to full banner armies of elite Samurai and cavalry very early in the game. For instance Roman legions had their throwing spears and English longbowmen. Or, you had a racial unit which was strong and could be exploited. In most total war games it was possible to upgrade your army to higher tier units faster than the AI by micro-managing your economy and give you a huge advantage. However I simply can't play Shogun for a few simple reasons.ġ- You cannot out-tech your enemy in this game. I'd say I am a relatively competent player and I like to have a few playthroughs on easy before I attempt a big challenge on hard.
