    There where at any given time, only 2 star forts in Japan.

    Well 3 if you count another modern fortification in Hakodate but its not star shape and kinda small.

    Seriously. Click it. Its the only overhaul mod that's overhauling enough to bring out NEW clans

    Nonsense! I had a lovely real estate agent tell me that "thou hath picked the right time to purchase these lands milord! 'Tis a market prime for development! Why, not the sabbath before last, Lord Windsleydale Chestershire Esquire the Third knocked down the local fort and erected a castle fit for a king!"

    (Note: Clearly do not grasp old English, I THINK Sabbath is Sunday, with a name like Windsleydale Chestershire Esquire the Third, I have clearly never met an English person ever, and frankly, I dont think I've ever spoken to a real estate agent)

    A real estate agent? Those are the ones that can bribe rival factions, right?

    True and i know they are a traditional bunch but what use is a arrow tower or stuff that was designed for 100 meter shots in a modern setting,surely they modified forts to suit the times where a rifle was a common item shooting 300meters.

    what use is having cannons if they didnt use them for defence of a castle?.I have not studied japan at this time period but again in nearly 600 years something must of happened.

    If we just get a cut and paste fort im going to be peeved at this so called stand alone game.

    I would really like to see the ability to go inside buildings like ETW/NTW.

    Or maybe add more destruction to a fort and make walls come down?that would be cool.

    10 seconds to find. I am reading at the moment. Of course not all history links are true but it was the first thing that popped up.

    They are talking about some kind of tablet but of course we do not have this...
    Just to make it clear. I do not think Piobmhor is wrong, I just think that we can look at this from the aspect from the 1800 perspective. I would assume that especially for the americans that a country with so little development would look tempting. And no I am not an historian nor have I ever studied anything of Japans history.

    On topic. I am so pumped for this game!
    Reputable sources all say Japan was resource poor, hence why they had a huge trade deficit until the late 1890s. The US came to Japan to open up a market for their goods, not because of Japan's natural resources. Japan lacked all the resources needed to industrialize, hence they had to import coal, steel etc... The army was raised largely with debt.

    And I did not contradict myself, Japan IMPORTED not exported - you mixed up the terms.

    Watching that video of FoTS reminded me of one of my favourite naval games 'Distant Guns' of the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-05. The graphics in that game are no where near as good as what I see here although the game play is historically accurate. How marvellous if the naval and even land battles of that war could be reproduced with TW graphics

    Most of the S2TW music is done very well, and even encourages you to extract it from the folder and put it on your iPod.
