I have to say, I don't have much interest in Feudal Japan. However I decided to download the demo from Steam of Shogun 2 because it for the first time offered the campaign tutorial in the demo, and it gave me a chance to see what a campaign would be like in the main game.
It was pretty good, I have to say. However I did have two big issues.
1. Every time I tried to enter a real time battle from the campaign map, the game would crash on me, which forced me to autoresolve most of my battles. It was okay, but I could not get a feel for the battles that way.
2. I felt severly restricted in what I could build in every town. The game only gave me 3 or 4 slots for structures, and so when I had to build a temple to make the people happy so that I could raise taxes again like I did so many times in the other total war games, I had to destroy one of the unit producing structures, and if I wanted to build one of these in each province I owned, it would severly restrict my ability to raise an army.
I don't like being restricted in that way when it comes to developing my settlements. I like to build all type of buildings in most of my settlements so that I do not have any problems.
I like the diplomacy and research options though. I also like that I can choose what abilities my characters gets.
Golden Rules of Compainging:
1. It's the Economy
2. Controlled Expansion
3. Keeping Momentum
