Gatling guns and naval bombardment look awesome

[DarthShizNit]

looks sexy

Also, fighting in a village? sexier

[MonkeyD]

+rep If it looks this awesome I can't wait for what they got lined up next!

[Akaie]

At 3:06, I finally get a glimpse of my Aizu domain on the campaign map. Takeko or at least a generalized joshigun set of units will hopefully be in there. C'moonnn...

ORBITAL BOMBARDMENT LOLOLOL

ORBITAL BOMBARDMENT LOLOLOL

noticed that too, we'll just assume it's mortars or a very high angle...though i shall await the about this to no end that will come

[luckybeaver]

So when they say a new Avatar for FOTS do they mean a new design for the general or a new multiplayer system overall separated from the standard Shogun 2 conquest mode? I'd think it would be quite unfair and boring (since everyone would pick the newer units) to have gatling guns and 19th century technology against people who want to use the traditional Sengokou period armies or people who haven't bought the expansion.

Judging from the looks of it, it seems like it's really easy to just kill everyone now. Fast and furious, indeed.

[Erwin Rommel]

40 unit armies will come handy with this increased kill rates.

Gotta love the ion cannon bombardment

Naval invasions look very cool, as do the torpedo boats. Can't wait

[♘Top Hat Zebra]

I.... I want it.


Inside of me.


This looks incredibly awesome. Although, it kind of seems like assualting a castle is suicide now... Which is, in my opinion, a good thing.

[IGdood]

40 units. Meatgrinder time.

[Robin de Bodemloze]

Guys - think about this for a sec - if they manage to fix the seige reinforcement bug we're going to have to defend against upwards of a HUNDRED units in legendary mode

[IGdood]

That's why we have gatling gun towers.

Don't forget the massively increased lethality of artillery now. And the fact that walls make you a sitting duck to those guns if you want to defend them.

Really the whole game is just going to be slaughter all around.

Prelude to the slaughter in WW1?

That's always been my main complaint about the TW games. I know Im going to slaughter the enemy, but they make me wait around forever for those damnable muskets to reload.

Now, there's no more waiting!

RAUNCH TOLPEDOES !

[Radiso-FIN]

Great video. Battles truly look like more devastating and bloody with that new weaponry available. Naval bombardments seem to be perphaps too accurate, but hopefully mods can fix that. Also battle and unit speeds seems to be on same fast level as in vanilla Shogun 2, but it is also another thing modders can fix. Naval battles look aweseome though, especially those port battles and diversity between ship types is larger than before.

+rep for posting the video!

[♘Top Hat Zebra]

Ok, now, lets all stop talking about it!


Im going to die of excitement.
