The Creative Assembly have just announced that they’ll be releasing a huge standalone expansion for Total War: Shogun 2 called Fall of the Samurai. It will be set in the period leading up to the Boshin War, in which European and American forces introduce a new wave of military technology that threatens to wipe out the Samurai.
Fall of the Samurai will add six new factions. Some, like the Nagaoka, sill support the might of the Shogun. Others, like the Satsuma clan, want to embrace Imperial power. Externally, British, French and American forces are vying for influence in the Land of the Rising Sun. Over the course of the campaign, you’ll get to decide Japan’s fate.
New tech trees will reflect the evolving technology of a country adapting to the influx of devastating new weaponry from the west. That technology includes new naval units like “steamers, torpedo boats and mighty Ironclad battleships.” For the first time in Total War, these will be able to launch artillery attack on land units from the safety of the sea. Coastal defences will also be able to launch ranged attacks on incoming fleets, and the fight for influence will rage across a new campaign map that will incorporate the Northern Ezo territories and railways. Railways can be used to move troops incredibly fast, and can be sabotaged by the enemy.
On the battlefield, 39 new units will be available, including Gatling guns, US Marines and British Royal Marines. There will be three new agent types, Foreign Veteran, the Ishin Shishi and the Shinshengumi. These campaign map agents will have all new progression trees, and the Geisha and Ninja skills will be updated.
The six new factions are divided into pro-Shogunate and pro-Imperial groups. The Aizu, Nagaoka, and Jozai clans fight for traditional Japan, while the Choshu, Satsuma and Tosa factions fight for the Empire.
A number of improvements will be made to siege battles. New tower defences can be upgraded and specialised to become archery, matchlock or gatling gun towers. A new “port siege” battle will let armadas brave coastal defences to take control of coastal towns by occupying their harbours.
Shogun 2′s multiplayer features will also be expanded. You’ll be able to create a separate Fall of the Samurai avatar with access to 40 new retainers, 30 new armour pieces and a new tech tree. There will be a new 19th century conquest map and you’ll be able to create multiple avatars to try out different tech tree builds.
Fall of the Samurai is shaping up to be a huge update. It’s standalone, too, so you won’t need Shogun 2 to play it. It’s due out in March.

첫댓글 새 DLC인가요?
영화 라스트 사무라이가 생각나는건 나뿐인가 ㅎ
음, 어설픈 영어 실력으로 대충 해석해 보니 사무라이의 몰락에서는 총 9개 세력이 등장하는 듯 하군요. 먼저 쇼군쪽 세력으로는 아이즈Aizu, 나가오카Nagaoka, 조자이Jozai 등이고, 제국 세력으로는 초슈Choshu, 사쓰마Satsuma, 토사Tosa 등이며 외국 세력으로는 미국American, 영국British 그리고 프랑스French 이렇게 9개군요. 또, 새로운 섬인 에조 즉 훗카이도까지 확장하는 것도 가능하다고 하군요.
꽤 신선한 소재인데요 ㅎ
갠적으로 사무라이 태동말고 진작 이게 나와야됬음
철도를 건설하는 것도 가능하다... 문명에서 나왔던 기능인데 토탈워에도 들어가나 보군요.
혹시, CA에서 하고 있는 작업이 나중에 나올 제국주의 시대 서구 열강의 식민지 정복을 다룬 새로운 토탈워를 위한 전초 작업인지도 모르겠습니다. 해안 포대와 함대의 해안가 포격, 그리고 철도라면 충분히 가능하죠.
39개의 새로운 육상 유닛, 10개의 새로운 해상 유닛에 21개의 선박, 새로운 항구 요새 전투, 3개의 새로운 외교관 유닛, 4개의 역사적인 전투가 추가된다고 합니다.
결론은 차기작이 롬2나 미디블3는 아닌가 보군요....-_-
글쎄요..빅토리아 토탈워까지 넘 볼수 있는 시대까지 왔는데요..
아마도 19세기 서구 열강의 식민지 정복을 다룰 임페리얼 토탈워가 아닌가 합니다.
우와! 쩐다!
