Initial reviews for both Empire and Napoleon were very positive only for a lot of players to then notice that the Artificial Intelligence was a bit dumb and that naval invasions were not really working, leading to disappointment in the ranks of loyal fans.
Total war shogun 2 units series#
Why is it hard to review a game in a beloved series that is very good? Because of the complexity of the Total War concept. And, most importantly, Total War: Shogun 2 seems to be very, very good. The game is the latest in a long running strategy series from The Creative Assembly that began about 11 years ago and has lately suffered from a rather disappointing releases of Empire and Napoleon. The game is the second one set in Medieval Japan, focusing on the struggle between the clans for control of the title of Shogun. Incindiary Effect: Comes in vairous descirptive words, fire arrows have "Low", fire rockets have very high.īlast effect: Explode (Sprays heavy shrapnel and and immidiate lethal explosion,) Impact (Medium Shrapnel,) Light Impact (Light Shrapnel.) All could be put on arrows.It is hard to review Total War: Shogun 2. Muskets, Matchlocks, and Arquebusses: -25% However, different units use different reload animations, which effect the fastest reload possible.Ĥ: Marksman Modifiers, or "How much does your skill actually matter." Appears to be percentage based (Lots of modifiers that are increments of 5 make this apparent,) thus, I will note this down here. This is fixed, and there seems to be no modifier for reload skill. Muskets, Matchlocks, and Arquebusses: 22 seconds. Projectiles with a damage past a certain value seem to be capable of damaging walls, this is mostly apparent with shrapnel, which will do up to 18 damage.ģ: Base Reload Speed, or, "What Big number are we reducing?" (AP simply means it ignores armor, so there is only a 10% chance of a unit surviving being shot with a rifle, or revolver.) Armor 1/2 units will obviously get shredded, but samurai can actually tank hits from the damage type, just the odds of surviving more then one is very small.Īlmost "Every" Boshin War bullet.
Note: Heavy gunners have a unique AP value: Body_Peircing.ĭonderbus: 1 Damage, 6 projectiles.
Muskets/Carbines/Heavygunners: 2 damage, prior to matchlock hits (Armor of 8 or more can reduce the casualties from this damage type, and armor grows more valuealbe per point as you exceed the minimum value needed to survive the projectile.)
Tower arrows are identical to Genpei arrows. Note that this arrow type is only used by mounted units from the time period, foot samurai do not use the magic death arrows. 45 damage - Genpei war units have a higher overall lethality with arrows. (Imagine an arrow with a turnip for a head, its a blunt weapon.) 4 damage (Presumably, 40% of hits kill prior to armor.) 3 Damage, or a third of all impacts should kill.ĭaikyu Arrows. Sengoku Jidai Arrows (Including Arrow_Long, the warrior monks arrow:). (Visible on unit card, every unique range one can shoot at has its own projectile.ģ: Projectile "Damage," or the likelyhood of it killing prior to armor. The *Range* the weapon is allowed to fire at. How much fire the projectile causes, and how much of an explosion/shrapnel happens as a result of this. The Base Reload Speed prior to skill (In seconds.)
How readily "Marksman Skill" effects the weapons accuracy. Most ranged units stats (Other then reload skill, and accuracy, which are SUPRISINGLY ambiguous, they only modify the projectiles attributes.) No tag exists to say this tag dissapears when dismounted.Ģ: Arrow stats, or why its so hard to get good stats on ranged units: Units that have this tag: All Missile Cavalry (Yes, Gun cav can shoot through each others horses, and with enough range, they can fire over the shoulders of your other units,) and Archers. On firearms, this will make matchlock units gun through allies and themselves to kill the enemy, making them far more lethal to your own force, but the unit will also have immunity to its own bullets which will pass through harmlessly, making them also FAR more effective against the enemy, unsuprisingly. Units without this tag will fire when the enemy steps into the front ranks range. Boshin war units all have the AP tag.ġ: The Tag "All Ranks Fire" does exactly as it says, all ranks in the unit fire at once, and the unit will fire over allied units, which always succeeds in regards to the units own men.Īs a drawback, the unit will also wait until the enemy is within range of its back rank before it will attempt firing. Genpei war cavalry have the best arrows, Daikyuu the second best. This is actually all quite interesting, and I have decided to post what I have discovered to inform you guys.Įdit: TLDR: Gun Cav were given the ability to fire through themselves intentionally. Quick Fact fishing on projectiles, something which nobody seems to have posted data on, but its actually interesting to see what came up.
