Snapped up Shogun 2 for $25 and The Witcher 2 for $30 on Steam, while I still have Red Orchestra 2 on my mind. Oh, and I'll be installing World of Tanks on this new computer. I might go into gaming overload this weekend.

That's why Martinus, for all his spending on the trappings of wealth and taste, will never really have class.  He's just trying too hard to be something he isn't (an intelligent, tasteful gentleman), trying desperately to hide what he is (Polish trash with money and a severe behavioral disorder), and it shows in everything he says and does.  He's not our equal, not by a mile.

I got many hours out of Shogun 2 and I'm not a huge Total War fan. And I may play it some more.

So, is Shogun worth it?

I picked it up last night and started a campaign game intending only to play around with it for maybe 30 minutes before going to bed. I ended up playing for five hours and didn't get to bed till after midnight.  :Embarrass:

The last TW game I liked was Rome, so I wasn't expecting Shogun 2 to be so good.

Undertook the masochistic challenge of playing I Wanna Be The Guy.

Only 20 minutes and I wanted to throw my joystick on the screen. FUCKING APPLES DON'T FALL UP!

Yep, it's WAD.  :lol:

Try Sengoku, it's much better. :)
With AI cheating blatantly.. or me not recognizing mechanics which allows to recruit new armies out of thin air.

AI doesn't cheat. The player can lift Levies instantly as well.

Retinues and Levies are two different things.

Retinues are the Clan Leader's personal army, which can take time to recruit. But each Kori has 750 troops that you can lift, instantly, by raising them in the Military screen. But while they are raised, you cannot raise new ones, but they will get replacements nonetheless.
