Here we see a heavy horse charge with Chosokabe mounted Katana Samurai smashing into a line of foot Takeda Katana Samurai. Brand new physics systems allow for realistic charges with horses slamming into the throng of soldiers, scattering them and throwing the unit into disarray. Two large forces of the Takeda and Chosokabe clans rush forward to destroy one another holy rummy and hold the field. Both are Samurai units, meaning this will be a bloody and skilful match of swords. Having beached these Samurai and Ashigaru are now ready to take the fight to the enemy during the gentle and spectacular Japanese royally rummy spring blossom season The famous Date Masamune. A one eyed warrior, the famous leader of the Date Clan who cared so much for his men’s welfare he personally bought them the best armour money could buy.

One of the three truly great leaders of the sengoku-jedi. The first leader who truly held the potential to unify Japan. A member of the Oda clan family tree and a general on the battlefield, fasmous for his early adoption of the western musket and gunpowder. Also a famous opponent of Japan’s warrior monks. A member of the Takeda dynasty and a general on the battlefield. Takeda Shingen famously had a loyal corps of twenty four generals, who won many victories under his military rule. A great strategist with some long term enemies in Japan. An early concept of a castle on fire. Sieging castles in Shogun 2 is a brand new experience. Multiple types of castle with multiple levels of walling mean you must break every ring and assail every redoubt.

Higher level palace structures will differ depending on where they are built and how heavily defended.
