Re: Shogun 2

In response to your queries , in the mentioned order:

1) It's a great game, as for whether it's the best strategy game...that will be a point of debate. But it is a great game , no doubt about it.

2) Shogun 2 is set in feudal Japan. You'll only have Japanese units but each clan has their own specialty. Some clans offer bonuses to naval units, others to infantry e.t.c
There are some DLCs too for the game which offer new clans with unique units. I hate how Total War 2 is going the DLC route :/ .

3)By Skirmish mode , I presume you just want to setup custom battles? Yes it's available.

Shogun 2 places a lot of emphasis on politics and espionage. Assassinating a high ranking general just before a battle can greatly turn the tide. I remember doing this in Medieval : Total War. My smaller army with an expert General was able to defeat a much larger force (winning against impossible odds results in a victory called "Heroic Victory")

Re: Shogun 2

Why only Japanese? As the title indicates , it's set in Japan and it's about the unification of Japan. It looks like you've never played the first game in the Total War series, i.e. Total War : Shogun

Think of it like a civil war within a country. There are some foreign units like missionaries though.

Well, you can play Starcraft 2: Wings of liberty, if you haven't already.

Some other great strategy games :
Company of Heroes - A must play.
World in conflict - one of my favorite strategy games.
ANNO - 2070 - though It is more like city building sim.pretty good anyways.
R.U.S.E. - pretty interesting and good game.

Re: Shogun 2

shogun 2 is a very good game.it is even having a feature of playing a battle.you can attack a territory and you can do the battle as you wish.only some strategy games have this feature.you can play it in different manner every time and a single game only takes a lot of time.
company of heroes 1 and 2 are epic strategy games having an awesome story, though the third part that is tales of valor was a useless game.
world in conflict is also a very good game and also has very good story.

Company of heroes has only one part, others are expansion packs.
Supreme Commander is pretty decent too.
