Travel back to feudal Japan, a time when warring factions are tearing the country apart, and try to restore order to the land. As the supreme warlord, or Shogun, it is your duty to rise up and unite the warring factions of Japan. You must possess supreme strength, wisdom, courage, and leadership skills to battle the many factions and gain control of the nation.
Direct thousands of loyal warriors on the battlefield to defeat the immense challenges that lie ahead. Shogun Total War is divided into three separate play modes. The full campaign is a mix of battlefield combat and strategic management during which you battle against six rival Daimyos, each seeking the role as well -- the ultimate goal is to become Shogun of Japan. Action occurs from three different perspectives: Strategy Map, Battle View, and Throne Room. Your first step in the campaign is to select a clan to lead. Then, from the Strategy Map, you mobilize troops, train armies, and build more structures within your territories. When fighting a rival faction, the game switches to Battle View and it's here you must lead your armies in combat. Lastly, the Throne Room is for entertaining foreign emissaries and conferring with advisors to plan your next move.
Another mode, Historical Battles, places you inside some of the most turbulent years in Japanese history. Choose one of the four most important Daimyos in the history of Japan and play a selection of pre-set battles. The battles span 30 years of feudal Japanese conflict and you can select the armies of Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen, Tokugawa Leyashu, or Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
If you want to fully customize the game, Custom Battle mode will facilitate those desires. You choose one of the seven available Daimyos as well as select a province, season, and difficulty level. Additionally, you can choose units for each side and modify their respective honor levels. A multiplayer option is also available over an Internet or LAN connection, allowing you to wage war with other players across the globe.
A vast array of buildings can be constructed for your clan including castles, fortresses, citadels, palaces, spear dojos, archery dojos, armory, tranquil gardens, ninja houses, ports, tea houses, sword dojos, horse dojos, swordsmith, Portuguese and Dutch trading posts, temples, churches, cathedrals, gun factories, and geisha houses. Shogun Total War also has many soldier and strategic units you can create such as Samurai Archers, Yari Ashigaru, Yari Samurai, Cavalry Archers, Warrior Monks, Arquebusiers, Naginata, Heavy Cavalry, No-Dachi Samurai, Musketeers, Yari Cavalry, Taisho, Emissaries, Shinobi, Jesuit Priests, Ninja and, of course, the legendary Geisha, a master assassin. Weather, seasonal conditions, and land characteristics also play a decisive role in battles.
Becoming Shogun for this land requires great strategic planning as well as military grit. To unite the people, you must show strength, wisdom, and courage. Honor and family are the driving forces in the hearts of the people during feudal Japan. You must assert your skills as a field general and great statistician to fuse the puzzle pieces of the era while restoring Japan to one honorable nation.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
