  1. Continuing from before....

    Shogun22012-04-2822-30-23-179.jpg

    Revenge! Any agent with a blue circle above their heads must die!

    Shogun22012-04-2822-30-55-820.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2822-37-07-943.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2822-37-43-554.jpg

    Paint the place red. But who's gonna take over this army...? Best to let them stay in the city, as general-less armies cannot replenish in the field.

    Shogun22012-04-2822-41-08-896.jpg

    Asano shall join the family....through marriage.

    Shogun22012-04-2822-41-55-821.jpg

    Laying siege...ah fuck we're being bombed! And the numbers look pretty bad....

    Shogun22012-04-2822-53-45-314.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2823-29-28-150.jpg

    I also bribed some Black Bears over.

    Shogun22012-04-2823-31-09-473.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2823-31-11-884.jpg

    Meanwhile, taking it to the Tosa.

    Shogun22012-04-3000-11-45-876.jpg

    And subsequently retreating due to overwhelming enemy numbers.

    Shogun22012-04-3000-12-20-512.jpg

    Fuck, we get bombed again and we'll loe our best units. TAKE CARE OF THAT SATSUMA NAVY

    Shogun22012-04-3000-13-25-405.jpg

    This is the torpedo boat. It can only fire torpedos under direct player control. Otherwise, it'll act like a regular chiyodagata gunboat.

    Shogun22012-04-3000-16-13-561.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-3000-16-16-074.jpg

    CHARGE STRAIGHT IN!

    Shogun22012-04-3000-17-02-254.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-3000-19-37-367.jpg

    FIRE!

    Shogun22012-04-3000-20-13-530.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-3000-20-34-217.jpg

    TORPEDO AWAY. Took awhile to aim though.

    Shogun22012-04-3000-21-23-539.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-3000-22-01-203.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-3000-22-09-267.jpg

    Torpedos are slow as fuck. But when they hit, it's a OHKO. Unfortunately, while I was waiting for an explosion, I lost 2 ships. It's best to just launch the torpedo, and let it go. Launch again later.

    Shogun22012-04-3000-22-35-285.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-3000-23-10-805.jpg

    They're hard to aim too.

    Shogun22012-04-3000-23-16-296.jpg

    Victory!

    Shogun22012-04-3000-24-38-205.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-3000-25-27-565.jpg

    The Tosa attack! With inferior units like these, this is going to be fun.

    Shogun22012-04-3023-46-22-797.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-3023-49-59-122.jpg

    Gonna put some cav in the forest.

    Shogun22012-04-3023-50-24-769.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-3023-50-51-867.jpg

    Tosa Riflemen are like Sharpshooters on crack.

    Shogun22012-04-3023-51-12-395.jpg

    Where are they going?

    Shogun22012-04-3023-53-25-239.jpg

    Use your bows! Fire!

    Shogun22012-04-3023-53-48-973.jpg

    With only shitty levy and no kneel fire, this is gonna be a long battle.

    Shogun22012-04-3023-54-12-555.jpg

    Moving this levy around since they won't be shooting at allies...

    Shogun22012-04-3023-54-46-321.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-3023-55-13-558.jpg

    Trolling like a boss.

    Shogun22012-04-3023-56-37-291.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-3023-56-16-495.jpg

    Their general kinda just crashed into my lines. Wtf?!

    Shogun22012-04-3023-56-46-775.jpg

    So I crash my monk cav into theirs.

    Shogun22012-04-3023-57-57-147.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-3023-58-53-272.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-3023-58-57-649.jpg

    KILL THEIR GENERAL!

    Shogun22012-04-3023-59-19-137.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-3023-59-28-854.jpg

  2. A few dilemmas, a few wrong choices.

    Sorry, my subjects.

    Shogun22012-04-2820-38-30-600.jpg

    Only one clan shall rule. Our alliance with the Satsuma and Tosa ARE OVER.

    Shogun22012-04-2819-41-46-388.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2819-41-56-268.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2819-42-04-598.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2819-42-19-424.jpg

    Not sure if this counts as the most backstabby move in my whole LP.

    Shogun22012-04-2819-42-33-659.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2819-43-16-639.jpg

    Anyways, the Satsuma are striking back, so let's get to the defense. I must be wary for they have naval support.

    Shogun22012-04-2819-47-09-010.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2819-47-24-006.jpg

    My eye catches a tiny flare on the ground. Well...that happens when peopole call naval support. Wait, those are my troops. TAKE COVER DAMMIT!

    Shogun22012-04-2819-48-29-494.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2819-49-12-175.jpg

    Moving the hero and heroine out of the way so I can strike their flanks later...

    Shogun22012-04-2819-49-45-661.jpg

    A second bombardment flare. AI really wants to fuck up my line. WELL NOT TODAY

    Shogun22012-04-2819-50-28-650.jpg

    Enemy carbine cavalry incoming. I'll charge my spear cavalry at them...!

    Shogun22012-04-2819-51-13-549.jpg

    Plenty die whilst charging, but they get their revenge.

    Shogun22012-04-2819-52-11-325.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2819-52-20-550.jpg

    Lines engaged, I get my heroes to hit their parrott guns.

    Shogun22012-04-2819-53-05-136.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2819-53-44-431.jpg

    Rear attack those guys!

    The key to avoiding major casualties when hitting enemy units with lancer cavalry is to retreat right after they "Touch" the enemy and send them flying. This way the enemy soldiers can't stab back.

    Shogun22012-04-2819-53-59-075.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2819-54-07-346.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2819-54-15-012.jpg

    Woops, got hit by their naval bombardment.

    Shogun22012-04-2819-54-27-484.jpg

    Nevertheless, victory is mine.

    Let's show off the French marines a bit. Or something.

    Nice blue and red mixture.

    Also they tend to talk a lot.

    Shogun22012-04-2820-02-08-990.jpg

    I expected the Satsuma armies to be more challenging. I mean, they have gatling guns...but even those don't stand up long to naval bombardments....

    Shogun22012-04-2820-16-55-835.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2820-17-45-279.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2820-18-52-139.jpg

    But these Black Bear Infantry look so fucking cool!

    Shogun22012-04-2820-19-23-946.jpg

    MUAHAHAHA DIIIIE

    The highly-leveled agents of the Tosa and Satsuma intend to screw me over. And screw me over they did. Oki and the other Mochi were assassinated. Foreign veteran Gregory Last managed to get away with just a wound.

    IT'S ON NOW

  3. We have captured Hitachi, wheeee...

    Shogun22012-04-2716-50-18-085.jpg

    And I did this for the lulz.

    Shogun22012-04-2716-58-54-308.jpg

    Dohoho, nice.

    Shogun22012-04-2717-00-51-553.jpg

    Normally you won't be able to get French marines unless you're a Shogunate-affiliated clan. French marines have the best shooting stats of all the marine units.

    Shogun22012-04-2717-01-17-609.jpg

    Now, time to kill off the Tanegashima once and for all. Note that it's led by Mochi's brother, the other Mochi. (Mochiaki, to be exact.)

    Shogun22012-04-2717-01-58-786.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2717-04-08-028.jpg

    Hey look, we're totally outnumbered here. Also I downloaded a unit mod that adds a few more foreign units to the game.

    Shogun22012-04-2717-04-22-875.jpg

    Rain decreases effectiveness of ranged attacks.

    Shogun22012-04-2717-09-58-389.jpg

    I count 6 General's Bodyguards.

    Shogun22012-04-2717-13-46-418.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2717-14-27-890.jpg

    Light Cavalry, flank attack!

    Shogun22012-04-2717-15-34-790.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2717-16-24-524.jpg

    MARINES, MAKE ME PROUD!

    Shogun22012-04-2717-15-18-145.jpg

    Charge into the fray! Ignore the bullets! Last Samurai style beeech!

    Heavy Gunners (DLC unit for Shogun 2, Shimazu Heavy Gunners) cause knockback with their hand cannons!

    Shogun22012-04-2717-18-42-087.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2717-19-37-221.jpg

    And being an idiot, I forgot all about my kisho ninja.

    Well, that's done.

    Shogun22012-04-2717-25-07-622.jpg

  4. Alright, let's do this. I like a challenge. Assuming this is even suposed to be a challenge.

    Shogun22012-04-2715-56-24-483.jpg

    This what the Vermillion Bird forces are supposed to look like. They look just like the Shogunate Infantry....

    Shogun22012-04-2716-03-53-613.jpg

    I've got cav and wako in the woods, ready to give them a deadly bite.

    Shogun22012-04-2716-04-44-465.jpg

    That's a lot of red dots on the battlefield. Soften it up with a naval bombardment.

    Shogun22012-04-2716-04-57-255.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2716-05-34-011.jpg

    Enemy aber cavalry ran into my naginata cav in the woods. ROck beats scissors, Naginata beats Cavalry. GG.

    Shogun22012-04-2716-06-05-788.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2716-07-32-773.jpg

    TONO, -moonspeak-

    Me: What?

    Boshin unit: Sir I berieve dey ar franking us.

    Shogun22012-04-2716-07-41-890.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2716-07-48-507.jpg

    I'm not too worried about the assault on the front, but that saber cavalry damn won't be flanking me any time. NOT WITH....

    Shogun22012-04-2716-09-04-076.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2716-09-27-736.jpg

    Hey why are you running the other way?

    Shogun22012-04-2716-09-55-725.jpg

    Revolver cav deliver copious amounts of rape to my spearmen. In 2 volleys they took out 120 of the poor fuckers.

    But I charged and raped them back with a 20-foot pole.

    Shogun22012-04-2716-10-28-335.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2716-10-50-572.jpg

    Guh, they spotted my wako. CHAAARGE

    Shogun22012-04-2716-11-25-981.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2716-13-44-681.jpg

    Meanwhile, my cavalry spring from the woods and plow into enemy infantry.

    Shogun22012-04-2716-14-10-659.jpg

    The tide turns as the enemy chain routs from panic.

    Shogun22012-04-2716-14-55-994.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2716-15-18-075.jpg

    Katana Cavalry, the ancestors of the Saber Cavalry.

    Shogun22012-04-2716-15-36-492.jpg

    Epic win.

    Shogun22012-04-2716-19-14-854.jpg

    We continue to besiege Mito.

    Shogun22012-04-2716-19-39-504.jpg

    Sapporo is captured.

    Shogun22012-04-2716-20-26-164.jpg

    Ah fuckit, let's assault Mito.

    Shogun22012-04-2716-27-54-829.jpg

    I deliberately choose to fight in foggy weather, as it nerfs all ranged weapons, something my army doesn't have a lot of.

    Shogun22012-04-2716-32-42-968.jpg

    Immediately enemy reinforcements come from my immediate rear left. CHARGE!

    Shogun22012-04-2716-34-45-523.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2716-34-56-213.jpg

    Whoa whoa hold fire, you're killing our own guys in the woods!

    Shogun22012-04-2716-36-11-477.jpg

    I enjoy these graphics.

  5. Seems like the AI will incorporate mod units into its armies.

    Shogun22012-04-2714-52-33-829.jpg

    Once again, the bring process of modern warfare is shown. Line up, and march.

    I was tailing the army with some ninja, hopefully to cause chaos when the shooting begins.. But then I uncovered a unit of katana wako...who then spotted my ninjas...and then hell broke loose there.

    And so are my ninja. Guess they couldn't beat those guys in a straight up fight.

    Shogun22012-04-2715-03-53-136.jpg

    Okay, so much for the ninja.

    Koyosha part 2. Of course we'll apprehend the murderers.

    Another province is wrested away from the Tanegashima.

    Shogun22012-04-2715-11-07-471.jpg

    ANd they had the guts to attack our capital port of Nagasaki!

    Shogun22012-04-2715-23-28-041.jpg

    Rainy, foggy, and I got cannons pointed everywhere.

    Moving on to besiege...umm..Sapporo, the land of Japanese beer. (The other one being Asahi beer)

    Shogun22012-04-2715-38-30-210.jpg

    I realized that the Tanegashima still have a few more provinces inland and on their actual capital island, Tanegashima all the way in the Southwest. Well, taking a train helps, now that the railways aren't sabotaged every fucking turn.

    Quickly trained up an army of past....sending them to....

    Shogun22012-04-2715-43-36-104.jpg

    It's a shame the AI can't really put up a high-quality army to fight us. That's why I'm going to declare war on BOTH the Satsuma and Tosa after I finish off the Tanegashima.

    Shogun22012-04-2715-45-58-121.jpg

    It's a nice, dreamy day with a case of mist.

    Shogun22012-04-2715-48-17-424.jpg

    They've got a lot of saber cavalry, but that's what the revolver and carbine cavalry are for.

    It's interesting ow the AI skirts around to the flank, but they could've just charged traight at my cavalry (who's shooting them) instead of dancing around like idiots.

    Oki decides to go old school and incorporates 2 units from the distant past into his army.

    Eh? Koyosha? What be this?

    Moving on to besiege Kaashi.

    Shogun22012-04-2700-13-47-446.jpg

    Meanwhile, Mochi takes Shiribeshi. And levels up.

    Shogun22012-04-2700-18-03-401.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2700-18-04-713.jpg

    Now a legendary commander...it's funny to see how much experience he's gained in so short a time.

    SKill points spent in making him an utter badass.

  7. So I said I was bored, and so because I'm pretty much now a bit of a vet with modding the game, I ported over all the units from past eras into Fall of the Samurai for a big clusterfuckfest.

    Be prepared to see many familiar faces, and a few new ones ,either because I modded them in or they were dlc that appeared after my first shogun 2 playthrough.

    eclipse, if you're still reading this, the old Pineapple Huggers are back....HEHEHEH

    Shogun22012-04-2622-56-27-177.jpg

    Annnd the last of the Matsumae sally out from their stronghold. Let's kill 'em all.

    4-Star Oki stares the fuck down out of the other guy.

    Starting off with a BANG.

    Shogun22012-04-2623-07-33-562.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2623-12-19-007.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2623-13-07-035.jpg

    Long-range fire from gatling guns is a sight to behold. Watching a video of 10 of these guys mowing shit down is insane.

    Shogun22012-04-2623-13-26-746.jpg

    By the time they reach my line, they're finished. The Carbine Cav flanking is just to hasten the process.

    Good night, sweet prince Matsumae. fufufufufufu

    Shogun22012-04-2623-18-14-282.jpg

    Now with no Shogunate clans left, I think it's time to screw the Tosa and the Satsuma for being such passive allies. But first, I will get rid of Tanegashima. They got a good navy, the last time I checked, and so this bonus is appropriate.

    Shogun22012-04-2623-20-28-079.jpg

    War? WAAAAAR!

    Shogun22012-04-2623-21-29-236.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2623-23-38-889.jpg

    As expected, none of my allies join me in the war.

    Shogun22012-04-2623-23-43-709.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2623-23-51-338.jpg

    Finally, we get to flex our naval muscles. HMS Warrior, GO!

    Wait, why is Casper Brindley a Japanese dude?

    Shogun22012-04-2623-24-09-957.jpg

    Anyways, the Warrior is a fine ship of Her Majes-....I mean the EMPEROR.

    Shogun22012-04-2623-25-13-006.jpg

    The enemy's got plenty of Ironclad Kotetsus, but we have Advanced Armor Piercing Shells. The plan's gonna be this: The Warrior and Kotetsu will head in first and draw fire. The weaker wooden/copper vessels will hit them from the side.

    Shogun22012-04-2623-26-01-637.jpg

    The Kotetsu has gatling guns on the sides, huh. Also, note that some cannons are safely housed in turrets.

    Shogun22012-04-2623-27-08-941.jpg

    Taking heat, FIRE BACK!

    Shogun22012-04-2623-33-05-591.jpg

    Flanking maneuvers now. Use AP! Crack their hulls open!

    Shogun22012-04-2623-33-17-708.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2623-33-42-481.jpg

    Seems like they're intent on cracking my Warrior open. Good, just as planned.

    Shogun22012-04-2623-34-04-108.jpg

    AP shells don't kill crews as quickly as explosive shells do, but they deal heavy damage to the hull.

    Shogun22012-04-2623-34-48-545.jpg

    I have fire superiority.

    Shogun22012-04-2623-35-36-401.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2623-36-10-673.jpg

    A quick win, and I get a few ships to boot.

    Shogun22012-04-2623-36-53-042.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2623-37-38-875.jpg

    To the island! Before you can disembark, you gotta bomb the port. otherwise, the port's coastal defenses bomb your ships and gives you costly attrition damage.

    Shogun22012-04-2623-38-14-653.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2623-38-28-742.jpg

    I sense a big battle in the making...

    Shogun22012-04-2623-39-39-601.jpg

    Winter arrives, I might have to suffer a round of attrition whilst Mochi waits for Oki to reinforce the attacking army.

    Shogun22012-04-2623-40-54-878.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-2623-41-36-384.jpg

    That's all for now!

  8. it is a better, safer strategy, to pull the opponent's arm towards your body, as opposed to the left/right of your body.

    Force is felt greatest when it's perpendicular to the surface it's acting on. Better to keep it parallel so the whole length of arm can withstand it as opposed to only 1 concentrated point.

    Thanks for helping me study for bioengineering.

  9. Withdrawing the cavalry.... too diminished to be an effective fighting force.

    Shogun22012-04-0722-50-37-999.jpg

    They're closing in! And they chewed up one group of infantry too!

    Shogun22012-04-0722-50-55-463.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-0722-51-42-435.jpg

    And the battle ends as quickly as it began.

    Izu captured..and...well..the Nagaoka Shogunate Vanguard is no more.

    Letting the Aizu home province rebel....

    Armor-piercing shell developed, making advanced version now.

    Shogun22012-04-0800-51-35-458.jpg

    Now even the Jozai are gone....

    Tossing in a joke unit of vetted up Matchlock Kachi in Mochi's army.

    Not a lot of provinces left...

    Shogun22012-04-0801-01-42-098.jpg

    Hm...turns out I wasn't studying censorship (these screenshots are a week old)

    Shogun22012-04-0801-03-59-131.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-0801-04-01-737.jpg

    I like how the Aizu have pretty funky unit names....Vermillion Bird force woot woot

    Shogun22012-04-0801-05-44-953.jpg

    Western techs are always welcome.

    Shogun22012-04-0801-08-08-463.jpg

    Bribed a few birds...these guys seem to be elites.

    Shogun22012-04-0801-08-48-436.jpg

    Shogun22012-04-0801-08-50-862.jpg

    Well, shit, we've maxed out our technology.

    Shogun22012-04-0801-12-34-440.jpg

    The fuck?

    Shogun22012-04-0801-15-21-430.jpg

    My allies wiped out the Aizu...damn...I wanted to bribe over their other awesome units...like Black Tortoise Force and the Azure Dragons..

    Shogun22012-04-0801-15-35-778.jpg

    Okay, what the shit?

    Shogun22012-04-0801-17-22-720.jpg

  10. Through some unfortunate turn of events, I lost North Shinano in a siege I did not record.

    Shogun22012-04-0720-27-05-409.jpg

    But of course, 1 step backward, 40 steps forward.

    Shogun22012-04-0720-47-24-280.jpg

    Ugo has an armorer, making any units trained here have extra armor, something useful in an era of guns....or not?

    Shogun22012-04-0720-42-50-985.jpg

    Anyways, victory or not, we'll crush the Sendai!

    Shogun22012-04-0720-46-20-222.jpg

    The Aizu aren't building up their province, so I figure that I should conquer it, modernize the shit out of it, and then let it rebel so I can have the Aizu produce special units that I can bribe.

    Shogun22012-04-0720-50-08-528.jpg

    No Shogunate force offers a challenge.

    And yes, I am getting lazy.

    Shogun22012-04-0721-14-44-440.jpg

    Until now...here, have a battle.

    Shogun22012-04-0722-36-41-824.jpg

    Forests everywhere!

    Doesn't look like the Jozai will come this way, so let's hide here.

    Shogun22012-04-0722-45-25-209.jpg

    Argh, shit...they're sending their cav this way...OPEN FIRE!

    On the other end, the revolver cavalry withdraw and Kyoto Police back them up.

    The Saber Cav...or Neopineapple Huggers as I should call them....take heavy casualties, but buy time for the carbine cav to regroup and fire back.

    I've managed to bribe together a huge army and sent them to Shimotsuke. Mochi can go somewhere else.

    I have an obsession with the idea of capturing enemy units and using them back against foes in strategy games. The Aizu have about....4 units that they do not share with any other clan.

    I get bored, and with such a huge amount of naval support, let's take Sado by assault.

    I like little details. I can see the fleet in the distance waiting for more bombardment orders.

    We are currently at Edo, historically this is where the Shogunate resided.
