  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ก.ย. 2024
  • Hello everyone, and welcome to a video that will help new players of Shogun 2: Total War. I recently received a request from a comment to create a tutorial video on how to play this game. The comment was from someone who is fairly new to the Total War franchise so this video is initially aimed at him, but is also a useful guide that can be helpful to other players if they are also new to the series.

    Here is a tipp that is often very underrated, even though it probably is a mistake that cause many beginners to fail early in the campaign already (it was the case for me for example):
    *Don't put garrisons in your towns unless it is neccessary in a specific moment!*
    With that I mean that many beginners think: "I need to defend my towns, so I just put a bunch of units in every single town of mine so nobody can take it away from me!". That's a common, but huge mistake which I made in the beginning as well. Units you put as garrison into your town cost just as much money each turn as if they would be in your armies and conquer new provinces for you. And the problem is, a few units, which are already quite expensive, won't even make a big difference if the town is attacked by a huge enemy army. So to fill this idea with sense, you would have to put a lot of units into your towns, maybe even in every single town you have. But that would cost so much money that you wouldn't be able to pay (bancrupt incoming). There are only 2 situations where you would need to put a garrison, but only for a short period of time.
    1st one is when the town is threatened by an enemy right now, for example when an enemy army is marching right onto it. You could put some units as garrisons, at best one of your armies that is currently near of that town, to defend it, but after that put them out of the town so you can use them to conquer new provinces. Never let them stay in it even though it isn't threatened anymore, they cost so much money even though the units don't do anything for that time.
    2nd one is when there is unrest in the town, a few units as garrison can surpress that to prevent a rebellion. Again, put the units out of the town (or disband them if they aren't needed anymore at all) as soon as the unrest is gone.
    In the beginning, I always put so many units into my towns, causing either a financial disaster or that my offensive isn't strong enough to increase the size of my empire. Both will prevent you from being successfull in Total War (not only Shogun 2 obviously). I made that mistake for a long time and it always frustrated me that I wasn't able to win a campaign, even on easy mode. It changed big time when I figured out that single mistake.

      when you conquer a new town, they alway have the resist that make the happiness at great minute (-), and th only way you can do about that is garryson unit and wait un still happines raise to positive point ( and it take a long time). until that , u hav no armies no do anything else but garison to prevent reblion with a huge number . The second, NPC alway tax thier town high and make it poorer every turn, and whn u capture that town, it just a pice of shit that u can do any thing but garryson to prevevent rebellion ( it easyr for you if u can complete detroy that town,

    • @alejodavies
      @alejodavies 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That only works if your towns aren't constantly under unrest. Having good honour, good Chi bonuses and low taxes allow one to get away with little to no garissons.

    • @tiramisuoais9302
      @tiramisuoais9302 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I will put 1-4 garrison each castle (depends on number of repression), u also can place a monk/metsuke and dont charge tax after capture new provice to reduce unrest. If u scared your province attacked by other clan, put some naval unit to secure coast from enemy landed.

      2 Sengoku Bunes + 3 Medium Bunes + 3 Bow Kobayas (Fire Arrows preferred) + 2 Fire Bomb Kobayas will autowin almost everything AI can throw on you. Black Ship should be fought by hands: send M. Bunes in frontal attack, Kobayas little behind, Sengokus to flanks outside BS cannons range; board as soon as possible by Sengokus at the same time surround with other ships; don't forget to activate Battle Cry on M. Bunes one by one when massacre starts. In general naval fights should be mostly melees so Sengoku Bunes and M. Bunes are must have. Bow Kobayas with Fire Arrows could be very devastating, but should avoid melee fight (even Trade Ship almost always beats Bow Kobaya if goes strait to melee). Fire Bomb Kobayas are superior morale destroyers, but even more fragile than Bow Kobayas - use with care. Most universal ship is M. Bune - very easy to build, quite cheap, good at ranged and at melee. Barebone of any medieval Japan clan's navy. Support it by more specialised ships - and you will rule japanese shores! :)

      @RG-hx8uc 6 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      mariano de miguel it is about where to place your armies. Remember to use the geography element of the campaign map. Find a choke point where you sure if enemy want to attack it. They can only come from 1 or 2 sides. Do not expand based on which provinces have more income. Use diplomacy to secure 1 side of the map. And expand the other way. Expand left. Allies with the right. Vice versa. ( I completed every clan legendary domination map around turn 80, the shortest turn to own all provinces in legendary campaign is around 62 turns. So trust me in this). You cant build alot full stack armies and still maintain good economy. I normally only need 4 armies. 1 is to defend my back incase allies betray and 3 to expand. Check diplomacy relationship to predict when allies will betray u and react accordingly. If u need more details. Try search for volound on youtube.He is a great shogun 2 campaign player .

      4 armies is endgame. Throughout the game you need to contemplate yourself whether you will save up koku and use it to invest in buildings that make more koku, or to create a larger army. Also use Ashigaru units! Sure, the other units are stronger, but Ashigaru units are cheap and easily replaced. Also they get a lot stronger very fast.

    I was wondering how different the "Total War" games were from "Starcraft" which is the only RTS I've played.
    I'm interested in playing the "Total War: Warhammer" game that comes out next year. Your video filled me in nicely on what to expect, it's closer to a board game experience than what I'm used to, but it looks like it could be a lot of fun and not as crazy complicated as I thought it would be.

    i think is best if you put you misile unit in the front in the first phase of battle to counter enemy misile to protect your ashigaru,and if the enemy charging you can grine some kill.if the enemy already close pull back your misile unit and throw your melee unit(Tips for everyone:Always read and know your unit good at what and weak againts what)

    So I have recently decided to try Total War, and by all ways and means that I have found on Steam and every other review website, reddit, etc... I have read that Total War Shogun 2 is the best of all of them. I was kind of interested in looking into a European style of Total War game, (after finishing watching the latest season of Vikings) but I read this was the best to play, with the best AI. So thank you for the beginner's look into the game, DragonHeart. I'm gonna grab the base game on Steam. (I'll get the DLCs when they are on sale).

    I managed by 1577 to win using the Oda. I never traded using ships. I just made trade agreements and alliances with Northern Daimyos then struck south. Soon I had surrounded Kyoto. Then I took it and became Shogun. Then all the other clans attacked and I simply defended my gains in the south and conquered the North. By 1577 I was the true Shogun ruler of all Japan.

    I know this is a four year old video. Just a comment on when/if your daimyo dies. In my Date campaign, Harumune died fighting Takeda Shingen. Your realm enters into a regency since Harumune has an heir, Terumune. Lady Karu will become regent until Terumune comes of age and becomes daimyo. However, your generals take a loyalty hit due to the daimyo's death. One way to remedy this is to research Noh (+1 loyalty) or assign a metsuke to the general's army.

Granted it would be a very similar premise in knowing how to properly use units/premise. Most games I play may or may not have such strategic reliance and if they do, they could be baited with RNG and luck. Still I find the idea of trying to learn to adapt and strategize would be fun.

    lmao that was better than anything I've pulled off in ~8 hours of gameplay, at least it was a lot smoother than anything I've done. Just watching you play helped clarify a lot about how unit control works. I was constantly pausing and meticulously moving every unit, overthinking a lot of things.
    This is an old video but in case you still read comments, you don't seem to mind having your men run rather than walk. Is there risk involved with that? Do the negatives from exhaustion kick in fairly easily?

    • @DragonHeart1791
      @DragonHeart1791  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      No problem, I am glad you found it useful.
      Tbh I am not 100% sure with the exhaustion, my guess would be that it is a minor morale de-buff. Best thing to do is check the status of the unit, and if it says winded then consider keeping them stationary for a few mins while you re-position your other troops.
      I do try to keep tabs and help out in this comment section whenever time allows me, I am also keeping my hand in with Shogun 2 with my Portugal modded Campaign on Shogun 2 (Currently recording a backlog of videos as I have poor net speeds).
