really well made game, its still early access so keep that in mind but i love the game so far and the potential is huge!

Would love this in roman era aswell

Meh

Had my rogue/thief steal something right in front of the merchant,
he gets caught
he stays free but my other teammembers of 3 gets jailed

10/10

I played ME2 and ME3 as the questionable games-on-release and i really liked them.
But now i bought this expecting the same, but this is the versions with all the updates and all the DLC, and it really feels like bigger and better games from what i remember playing.
So if you ever liked any ME, buy this, you will not regret it, im in the beginning of ME3 now and its really cool how the character in ME1 follows with to the other games with repercussions of your former decisions.

10/10 would punch reporters in the face

I have an approximate combined hours of around 3000 hours in all total war games, execpt the britannia one, didnt buy it, but ive been in love with this series since shogun 1 back in 1900's, Shogun 2 is probably my most favourite TW game, if not, one of my favourite game of all time. The music is really good, the unit animations when they battle eachother is excellent, AI diplomacy is really all just temporary, never trust anyone because they want you dead no matter what they say or what relationship exists. The campaign AI can be very sneaky and ruin your whole game if you are not careful, be sure to use ur agents wisely as they can be the difference between loose or win.
The AI in sieges can be just ok, but what can they do when you have an all godly fire raining down on them as they try to close in on your castle. Ive nearly won with all clans on very hard and im close to finishing my Uesegi Legendary round after about 25 restarts.
My number 1 tip for anyone playing is put your metsukes (dudes you can hire from having the economy building) inside your most money making towns always, and when they level up put your points on town supervising (increases your tax effiency).
one game i think i destroyed some 2000 units which is approximatly 240 000 soldiers in average.
This game is f**king great and if you are going to play any total war game, this should be it.
warrior monks ftw
10/10 would get gangbanged by all of japan in Realm Divide again.

this is worse than crack... but i just gotta conquer just a few more castles and cities

So... i went into this expecting ... i dont what i expected, but a bit buggy was one of them.. since i played an almost exact copy of this game another studio, but this feels like a trippel A game. its very ... well, the game swallos u ! there is alot of quality to life, its real fun to put skins on ur troops, or upgrade to better tanks etc.. i recommend this game :)

All my hours has been in army general mostly on hard difficulty and i just love it, this new campaign is huge and theres so many units to play around with. havent checked out the other content yet but army general in my heart <3. if u check out the other content and play army general, oh boi are u in for a treat for that prize ! thanks Eugen.

i bought SD 44 and played single player, tried multiplayer but it wasnt for me.. now i have tried SD 2 and i love it ! all the hours ive spent so far has been on the campaigns, so theres a lot of hours to enjoy here. the developers patch and fix this game pro-actively all the time, its a bit of a lurning curve but appearently now theres tutorials !
its a really fun game, sure the AI cheats but it makes it more fun when u beat him ! now im gonna go play all the historical missions as germans.

Ive been a fan of total war since shogun 1, ive played almost them all.. Shogun 1 and 2, medieval 1 and 2 including DLC's, Rome 1-2, attilla, warhammer 1 and 2, empire, skipped thrones of britannia tho.. out of all these games i would guess i have a total of around 3000-3500 hours and im so happy that this game turned out almost bug-free, real nice feeling to it, think theyve found their roots again after exploring with different contents in the games..
real beginner friendly, awesome graphics, good gameplay.. everything just feels right in this game, good polished.. if you ever wanted to start in the total war franchise, this game would be it ! you will not be dissapointed !
10/10 im probably going to edit when ive gotten a few houndres hours in this one and come back with potential negative aspects to the game.

EDIT: i found something pretty broken, ive played as yellow turban rebellion all day, and now im kinda dead because the AI decided to have 10 vassals and now i have 15 armies in my area from the master of all those vassals decided to obliterate me. GG !
