Pa zar nije u originalnom Shogunu vec bilo tih kao "Hero" unitsa.
Bili su "Kensei" koji su kao svecenici maca, i ta je ekipa mogla solo drzat pola bojista.
Sjecam se da su u Bug-u (ako se ne varam) u review napisali nešto kao "Svečenici mača koji su sposobni solo zaustavit Panzer SS diviziju" i moram priznat da nisu bili daleko od istine.

Moram priznat da nakon barem meni osobno loseg Total War: Empire, drago mi je da se vracaju back to the roots sa Shogunom.
mislim da ce ici lagani pre-order na game.co.uk.

Da, bili su uvedeni u ekspanziji.

Meni se nikad nisu sviđali.

Ovo je CA odgovor na IGN preview. Fanovi su odmah eksplodirali na hero units i manji scope igre (naravno... kad se navikneš na cijeli svijet u ETW, sve je premaleno)

Dear All,

Many thanks for all the excitement and support that Shogun 2's announcement has had.
We are genuinely excited about making Shogun 2 and have been for a while, the era, the units, all are absolutely excellent source material.

There are a couple of misconceptions about things here which it's best to address early in case they become received as fact.

Hero Units: - These are not one man armies that destroy everything that opposes them. These are highly ranked elite units, available at the top of the tech tree who exemplify a mastery of a given martial technique (E.g. sword fighting). They are able to take on other heroes, and are naturally very powerful against groups of enemies but are not invincible game-changers. These figures are also based on true historical accounts of great fighters who founded schools of combat, not myths that take on whole armies and win.

Scope: - We see the perception here. 'If it's not the whole world its not big'.

Try and imagine a vast string of islands from a feudal mindset.

Imagine your single province defended only against your rebellious neighbors.

Imagine an entire grand campaign map dedicated to a single country, a place where just a few miles to the east was a mountain range, shrouded in mist and run by a fearsome enemy or perhaps rolling rice plains able to supply you with vital resources if you could just reach out and take them...Beyond that? Only the darkness of uncharted territory and the promise of Kyoto.

Your armies would march for days and weeks to move across provinces. Imagine the savage mountain peaks and the rolling rice plains that create natural choke points and defensible positions. Imagine each conquest really feeling like a conquest, like you and your small band of warriors fought and won your latest prize allowing you to grow an army, and a reputation with it. Coastline stretching alongside you as you march into the unrevealed mists of rebel lands, seeking only glory and the title of Shogun.

The Japanese creation story is that the Gods dipped a spear into the ocean and as the water dropped from its point into the sea, it formed the islands of Japan.

It is massive, and it is epic.

Our thanks agin to all of you for your excellent and inventive ideas and theories and where we were going next.

Here's to Shogun 2.

Banzai!

Kind regards,
Kieran
