The game will have multiplayer battles and 8-player campaigns similar to those in Napoleon: Total War. The devs reported that the graphics engine of Shogun 2 will be capable of displaying up to 56,000 units on the battlefield (although we won’t necessarily see battles of that scope). Combined with detailed units and gorgeous artwork, this should make for some great eye candy. The graphics of Shogun II are going to be the most impressive of all TW games so far. The sieges and naval battles have been redesigned with the Medieval Japan setting in mind (detailed, multi-tiered citadels and “floating castle” ships). Special units like generals and agents will gain experience points which can be used to improve their abilities. TW: Shogun 2 will have less unit types than its predecessors players will have to pay more attention to the strengths and weaknesses of the units when raising their armies. The developers claim the game will be more streamlined and accessible (but not dumbed down). It will offer a better diplomacy and politics system than the previous titles, and feature agents like ninjas and geisha assassins. Shogun II will have the same hybrid gameplay that is a signature of the Total War series: managing your realm in turn-based campaign mode, and fighting epic 3D battles in real time.
