Shogun 2:Fall of/Samurai

The end of the samurai era. The dawn of an empire. The standalone expansion to the award-winning Total War: Shogun 2 explores the conflict between the Imperial throne and the last Shogunate in 19th century Japan, 400 years after the events of the original game. A dramatic clash of traditional Samurai culture with the explosive power of modern weaponry. Based on the backdrop of the Boshin War period, the new campaign starts in 1864, a time of growing resentment against Western colonial power and influence. As Japan begins to modernize and industrialize, the inevitable social and economic changes lead to increasingly militant nationalism and antipathy towards the Shogunate. Play as a clan supporting the Imperial throne, or as one of the last Shogunate clans. American, British, and French nations play an important role in the Boshin War, and your relations with foreign powers are integral to your success.
