Creative Assembly has released more information on the up-coming Shogun 2 DLC with a very neat Rise of the Samurai Campaign Diary on the TWC forums. In a campaign diary reminiscent of many an After Action Report, the campaign diary looks at various new and changed features such as the clans to choose from in the DLC, family loyalty and a look at agent bonuses.

"Being that type of player, I was immediately drawn to the Fujiwara family. Their eastern position, I decided, would allow me to sweep westwards, proudly spreading the family colours across Japan as I went. That left me with a choice between the Kubota or Hiraizumi clans. Keen to play with the “junsatsushi” agent, I picked Hiraizumi, as they offer bonuses to that agent type (+10% success chance to junsatsushi actions, -20% cost for junsatsushi actions). They also start with the “rice loans” art already mastered, and I love rice."

There's also a chance to ask questions to CA about the new DLC and patch set for release sometime this September, so what are you waiting for? Get down to the forum thread son!
