Indeed. :yep:

Too bad I didn't realise to move my avatar on the map to get an unconquered province. :-?

I bought the game today. I wasn't really going to, was thinking of waiting for a bit, maybe hoping the price would drop in time, but a store in town sold it for 279SEK, which is roughly 46 USD. Quite a bargain for a brand new game (reeaally new, it was released the very same day!)

Haven't played that much yet, but first impressions are very good. Battles are tons of fun, and not as tedious as I would often find them. I feel more inclined to duke it out in person than before, instead of just letting the computer do the job. Runs great too, no lag or anything, I'm playing on high settings, will see what happens if I take it up a notch. Archers are damn deadly now, I saw an enemy unit of infantry being totally wiped out in a manner of seconds, 150 men cut down to 50 just like that! :o

Umm I've already found another clan with over 500 members and their members are even more active than us :o. They look very threatening. If I were to guess they would become our main rival in the future.They are the Hattori clan. So now even if we feel that 460 something members to be extraordinary in the long run we are going to need every helping hand we can get if we want to keep climbing to higher league and eventually top the whole clan and face clans such as the Hattori on an a more or less even playing field.

Well the little fishes will go after the little fishes eventually but bigger ones will eventually be locked in rivalry with other bigger clans.



It's not personal rambling. I've thought about it since couple days ago actually but decided against it for fear it would backfire. A lot of people don't like the idea they are obligated to stay in the clan since they can't possibly get out and come back later. This may cause massive number of people leaving out to other public clans to our clan demise. After all they've got pretty good unlocks by now.


Now on the other hand I'd prefer a much softer approach to keeping the existing members. That is by developing and maintaining morale. Active announcement and event are minor ways to do that. Clan banners are also part of the effort to develop and raise morale. There's the reason to the wording we do not fear those who are above us and we do not look down upon those who are below us. I'm hoping invitation to our smaller clan opponents will bear fruit. If we don't antagonize opponent clans there's a good chance they will join us later in the future :DL

I'm even planning to make an invitation drive event where every member is encouraged to invite at least one other steam member who already owns Shogun 2 or will be soon. I will make a point and explain why this is necessary then.
But I will only do this after the clan is promoted to higher league than the current it is in. We need a bit of prestige for this kind of drive to have an optimum effect. Right now most people know us only by our numbers.

@Archlight for those glorious battles do save their replay post them on youtube and link our steam group. Of course if you want to :DL

Standard edition in Asia is selling for US$39.9. Limited for US$49.9. So it's fairly cheap especially the standard edition only that average Asians earn much less than you guys.

Join us! And have fun in the group!

Got a few saved, see what I can do. :D


I think the "low" price is because CA wants easy entry for new players. Main money-maker might turn out to be DLC that they have lined up.
Exactly, I'm pretty sure it would. Doesn't fit with the spirit of what it is now.


Moar bragging rights...

The guy fielded a full-cavalry army. Couldn't belief my eyes when I saw it. And then he goes on to charge his main group of light cavalry straight into my center line, comprised of katana samurai and yari samurai on right flank, and the other group charges on my left flank into a unit of yari samurai, well prepared for them.

So my left light cavalry move up and plow into his back, the yari cavalry on my right flank do the same and plow into his back in the center, case closed. :lol:

After that I just used all my cavalry to hunt down his general and what was left of his army.

No disrespect to my oponent, but I can't claim much skill in this victory. Looks nice though. :DL

Well if members couldn't join unless by invitation but able to leave at any time basically the group is creating barrier to membership growth
Here's hoping the clan could reach top league and doing well in it. I'm hoping Takeda Shingen would become admin too but he has since haven't replied to my offer.

Watched the video that was a massacre his cavalry couldn't stand too long in the fight.

Too easy..oh how I want my copy to be here :DL

A little ad
 

Swift as the wind, still as the mountain, as overwhelming as the ocean

Must say easy victory :DL

You wanted to see the colors in a battle, and there you have it. :O:

Think he was just experimenting a bit with strategies.

And that codec is really crappy for movement... end is just a blur. :doh:

Resistance is futile.

You will be assimilated.

:D

Well to be honest it's a good game and a good game for the value too if you can see past a few mistakes that will soon be fixed. There isn't too many good PC exclusive games these days as well. So give up! :-)

Indeed a good bargain, especially for the 27€ Direct2Drive had it going when I bought it. :D

Plan to get it for my birthday which is something like a month away a whole frickin month.....a month........and and...next week I plan to get Cliffs of duty..I mean Cliffs of Dover and and...but...eh.....aaah...mmm...
