The real show-stopper however, is when the campaign stops and the fighting begins. Presumably this means that family alliances, political marriages and other factors all contribute to how your family progresses over the years during the slow rise to power. Players donвЂ™t just control a single leader, but rather control the fate of an entire family line as it battles over the years to gain control of Japan. Details on the campaign side were sparse for our behind closed doors preview, as the focus was on the battle system itself, but what was discussed was the вЂњgenerationalвЂќ aspect of the game. Like its predecessor, Shogun 2 is divided into two components, a real-time strategy section that oversees actual battles, and a campaign section, presumably turn-based like Shogun, where players can look at the вЂњbig pictureвЂќ and negotiate, ally or declare war on various factions struggling for control, this time in 16th century Japan, in the wake of the Onin War. The sequel benefits from 10 years of advances in graphic power, with fully 3D environments and troops and an astounding 56,000 soldiers battling across the varied terrain.

Shogun: Total War was a trail-blazer for its time, using the emerging 3D graphics card technologies to present a pseudo-3D experience, with real polygonal terrain combined with traditional 2D sprites for the troops to create a battle field with full camera control that supported up to 10,000 troops in conflict, an amazing feat in its day.
