Rise of the Samurai Campaign Released: September 27th 2011 Price: £5.99 Rise of the Samurai is Shogun 2’s first (and so far only) mini-campaign, and is set during 12th Century Japan during the ‘Gempai War’ – a conflict that dealt with the rise of the samurai as a ruling class and which resulted in the very first Shogunate. RotS may require the base game to play, but it’s completely self-contained, using its own version of the main campaign map, its own factions, and its own units. You get to choose between 6 ‘families’ – two for each of the three main warring clans – the Minamoto, the Taira, and the Fujiwara. Since each family has its own distinct traits, they act and play as ‘clans’ in their own right, and simply share similarities and allegiances with their fellow clan-member faction. With a new era, and new players, comes new units – Rise of the Samurai comes with 16 new land units that serve as precursors to what you get in the main game. Software surat jalan dinas. Foot Samurai are small but powerful units as they are armed with both a bow and a sword, and they excel in both.

You also get firebomb throwers, and a whole host of other weird and wonderful units. ‘Hero’ units are also included for the first time: from Naginata Warrior Monks to Onna Bushi Heroine (epic lady samurais on horses).

There are also new naval units, abilities, and agents (although they mostly do the same things as agents in the base game). Finally, you also get a new historical battle – The Battle of Anegawa which was fought in 1570, and is one of the memorable battles in the period covered by the base game. This is not just a single-player expansion either, as much of the content (mainly units) can be used in online skirmishes and the multiplayer campaign. Verdict: At £5.99, this is a textbook example of premium DLC – it provides you with a whole new self-contained campaign, with everything that it needs to be entertaining. The Clan Packs (Base Game) Shogun 2 is the first instance in which Creative Assembly has charged for the introduction of ‘new’ factions into the main game. The base game for Shogun 2 only currently has two clan packs that you can buy and unlock: Ikko Ikki Clan Pack Released: May 26th 2011 Price: £2.99 Definitely the more interesting of the two, the Ikko Ikki faction plays very differently from all the other clans. Historically, they were a group of peasant farmers who rose up against samurai rule during the 15th and 16th century, which is reflected in the clan’s play style.

They have their own separate faith – the ‘Ikko’ faith (which is to represent the ‘True Pure Land’ sect of Buddhism that they followed), which only the Ikko themselves can spread, and because they are rebelling against the samurai they don’t have access to samurai units. Instead, they get ‘ronin’ variants – historically, ronin were simply masterless men and mercenaries, and in game this basically means more powerful stats, but reduced unit numbers. They also have their own skill tree, their own agent, and the pack comes with new retainers, armour sets, and a couple of units for the other clans to use as well. You can also fight the Nagashima historical battle, where the Ikko Ikki fought against the Oda clan.
