[@LKHEMA]

Re: realm divide, in this instance it occurred due to the number of provinces the player holds, which fills up the “notoriety” bar regardless of how direct the threat to the shogunate is. The Vassals and allies are a holdover because with good relations they don’t declare war immediately.

[@jamesbernadette6216]

Exactly. What you gotta keep in mind, tho, is that the continuous Realm Divide penalty keeps racking up and eventually even the most loyal vassal and ally *will* turn against you. So in this campaign, the player is going to have some real problems in Kyushu if they are not prepared for Satsuma/Shimazu clan's eventual backstab.

[@RockyX123]

Still salty that one time I didn't do anything except upgrade a farm and still triggered Realm Divide.

[@Javelineer]

​@@RockyX123One time, my Daimyo died from natural causes and unfortunately, the succession triggered the realm divide. 😂

[@googleandsusansucks]

@@RockyX123 Could also be that the Ai had a huge battle and lost armies. The realm divide is based on how strong you are in relation to other clans. So sometimes it is bad to have the yellow bar go so close to full.

[@TheDirtysouthfan]

If you create vassals after Realm Divide though, they don't get the Realm Divide Diplomatic penalty and remain loyal to you. It's unlikely that it's what happened here but it's possible.

[@tenchimuyo69]

Realm Divide can be triggered twice, once from getting fame too high, and again from taking Kyoto. You'd do well to make sure both happen at the same time if possible. Also any faction that emerges during realm divide is immune to it. So if you create a vassal or some faction rebels somewhere, they won't have its effects against you. Unless you trigger RD again that is.

[@SpielkindFR]

This is such a beautiful demonstration of why I love the siege battles in shogun 2.

[@BtheLee11]

[@komessandtomikcoll2154]

I just want to mention for anyone complaining how the lords in WH3 just charge in and die to watch this video again and notice how the AI handles its 3 generals

[@Weberkooks]

Yeah this has been a problem for all of the games. wh3 does have some unique bugs and issues but alot of the issues such as line of sight pathfinding etc have been ongoing issues throughout the history of total war especially on the warscape engine

[@chocho6766]

then again if the general just running arround consistently it will be so annoying

[@googleandsusansucks]

This is only really the case in siege battles and when they only have one general. If the ai has more generals in a field battle, they will usually chase weaker units so you can ambush them with yari cav.

[@corndogrequiem1728]

Might as well change the name of the channel to Macgyver of Total War, seeing as he could save a disaster battle with a paperclip and rubber band.

[@davidchevrier8671]

I came to your channel for WH3 but so f-ing happy you do more! Its so entertaning ! Great Content!

[@Xaphnir]

18 provinces, realm divide must have just started. As for vassals, you can have vassals during realm divide as long as you create them after it begins. It's also possible that the realm divide just started in the last turn and Shimazu hasn't declared war yet.

[@TheIrishvolunteer]

Love to see it. When I read his initial post on reddit my first thought was to have Legend solve it. Cool to see how quickly you got back to it.

[@atomisten]

i dont even play these games but i keep coming back to see these vids. there is something about winning against overwhelming odds always being satisfying whatever the genre.

[@winndypops]

Very cool. I think running down routing forces in Shogun 2 is so satisfying but it was a good idea to just focus on keeping the army alive, there was a lot more of his troops left than I expected.

[@Paurames]

This is just like Napoleon tactic : Defeat in detail ( I know I know, It is before in term a of year)

[@KimmoKM]

Right, there are times in other games when you want to sally out (most notably using the ram disabling cheese in Medieval 2...), but in Shogun 2 it's routinely a good idea. The battles around fortifications (it's really an escalade rather than a siege) in S2 tend to be much more dynamic than having an enemy impale themselves upon a prepared strong point.

[@mathdarven5634]

I didn't think you'd do it since OP said it was normal difficulty, but I'm glad you did.

[@drakencardosian]

There was a disaster battle a while back where Legend of Totalwar specifically states that he doesn't care about the difficulty level of sent in disaster battles, because he uses them as a teaching tool. Though I do believe he'll ramp the difficulty of the battle if he can.

[@Globalgenocide]

I've always found defensive archers to be INCREDIBLY strong in Shogun 2, hell even attacking they're incredible and that's before you get samurai archers. I've wiped multiple army stacks(multi turn battles) with archers contributing ~70% of casualties to the enemy. Swordibois obviously are the best overall but yeah, for price/availability archers ftw ESPECIALLY when combined with two full strength cavalry units whose only job is mopping up routing units to destroy overall army morale. I've won ~20-30 legendary difficulty campaigns if that matters.

[@aaronburdon221]

Yea, archer samurai are NASTY in this game. Especially when you fully upgrade them with the fletcher. They'll butcher an entire army.

Don't explain your thought process to us peasants, chase every last one of those bastards down and slaughter them.....NO!!! Don't give the cav an attack order on that unit like that you will get more if instead you send the cav to intercept them...damnit spread that line so more guys will attack the routing enemy instead of having so many guys in multiple units stacked so tight.

[@blasty137]

Is this some kind of mod or add-on? In my game there aren't these cross-shaped forts, they're always a simple square (and a too small one which is a real pain in the ass when the enemy has archer superiority because it's impossible to place units out of their range). Also, I think it would be very helpful if you would say which difficulty they play on for the sake of context.

[@aaronburdon221]

I got 1 similar to that, but It was primarily bowmen. I knew they were gathering their forces so I just spammed the crap out of bowmen and I managed to upgrade it to a tier 3 fortress so i was able to layer my defense. Lagged the crap out of my computer though

[@the0glitter]

I saw the comment and was wondering when it'll be featured

[@Left_Handed_Man36]

Shogun is a title (and time period) that I have very little experience with, the fortified settlement you were defending looks very strange and I noticed that I didn't see any siege equipment at all. Are they not necessary in the game and did the Japanese historically not really use them? I'm also having a hard time figuring out the logistics of where that fort's garrison is supposed to be living, there's a tiny two storey building in the middle of an open field. Did they just camp out on the grass within the walls when they weren't fighting? 😂

[@SpazzyGenius]

All the siege battles in Shogun are at forts (some big some small) it was to create a good place to fight rather than historical realism The fort was not fully repaired so the gates were open, but also in Shogun units can climb the walls so siege engines are not present in this game (arty aside, which does wonders in sieges)

[@feintfaint7213]

There are siege equipments, but you have to build a building for it. The ai doesnt seem to like building it. For players, its usually useless also to go for it. Just scale the walls barehand or burn the gate
