[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlMkME4bSeM]YouTube - Shogun 2 Total War Announcement Trailer [HD][/ame]
Trailer for a game called Shogun 2 Total War.
A bit of background on the Total War series. If you enjoy battlefield epics, this series
is just that. I play very few games and the vast majority of my gametime is sunk into the Total War series. You essentially
command an army in anything from a 1vs1 to a 4vs4. Playing a 3vs3 or 4vs4 when everyone has a full army to bring to the field
results in MASSIVE battles where you coordinate with your allies with respect to movement and maneuvre, integration of units
(for example, will your team be better served with your heavy infantry fortifying the middle of your lines or charging as shock
troops into a weakened or exposed enemy flank), and other battlefield considerations. The game is, simply, AMAZING.
Why am I posting this? Because I am excited like a school girl that they are going back to feudal Japan for their next
release. I love that time period.
Tokugawaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!
*makes fighting noises*
*dies*
Some screenshots to give you a visual, from Shogun 1, to their most recent release, Napoleon Total War (I won't post any of Empire Total War because that game was a bit of a let-down).
