Campaign Mode

The Main Game or Campaign mode is divided into two main game sections.

Turn-based Strategy

In addition to taking the role of commander-in-chief of your armies, you must
also manage the wealth of your lands, construct defences and dojos, train your
men and balance alliances with rival Daimyo while you wait for the right time
to strike. Use Ninja, Shinobi and other strategic units to gain every advantage
you can and so take control of Japan region by region.

• See

The Strategy Map Screen section on p.19, for instruction on this

component of the game.

Real time epic battles

When two armies clash on the Strategy map, you will experience war, as it
occurred in the 16th century. It is bloody, but it is also glorious, with a strict
code of honour that must be adhered to if you are to overcome your enemies.

As your men gain experience, their honour increases, and this reaps great
rewards for you as Daimyo. Their desire to follow your orders and their
willingness to fight and die at your command will make the difference between
creating a powerful clan of long-standing strength and a quickly forgotten and
disparate group of lawless and leaderless ronin. With an intuitive yet richly
diverse interface you can command thousands of soldiers in one battle! Warfare
has never been experienced on a grander or more epic scale.

• For instruction on real-time battles, see

Battle Mode on p.33.

• To play a single, user definable, battle, see the

Custom Battle section on p.53

INTRODUCTION

In Shogun - Total War™ you are plunged, headlong, into the world of the 16th
century Japanese warlord. The game is set during the Sengoku Jidai period. The
literal translation is ‘The Age of the Country at War’ and, as you will learn, it
certainly earned that name.

You take the place of one of seven warlords, or ‘Daimyo’ and must manoeuvre,
bargain, manage and battle your way to take your predestined place as Shogun,
‘the commander-in-chief for the suppression of barbarians’. However, your path
to divine glory will not be a smooth one. With 6 cunning rivals, all tutored in
the noble arts of the Samurai and the strategies and techniques of Sun Tzu’s
‘The Art of War’, you would be well advised to use all your wits and wiles if
you are to reign triumphant.

• If you feel ignorant or hungry for knowledge, you would do well to
consult the ‘Way of the Daimyo’ manual. It will give you an invaluable
overview of this fascinating and brutal period of history.

To access the manual: Click Start on the Windows Taskbar, then
select Programs >Total War>Shogun - Total War>The Way of

the Daimyo.

Note:

Internet Explorer 4 or higher must be installed to view ‘The Way of the

Daimyo’ manual.

Objectives of the Full Campaign Game

The 16th Century was a period when rival Clans of samurai led by their Daimyo
(Warlords) fought for supremacy across the length of Japan. The greatest of
these Daimyo aspired to become Shogun, the supreme military leader of the
country.

Like them, you must build up a strong army and the associated support
structures necessary to support a warring clan. Then, through negotiation with
rival Daimyo, and the early European settlers, combined with wise patriarchal
management of your units (both battle and strategic), you may well chart a
path for your clan and take your place, at their head, as Shogun.

Winning the Game in Campaign Mode

The game ends when you and your clan have united Japan beneath the might
of your Samurai armies or you die leaving no heir to take on the mantle of
Daimyo.

The Flow of the Game

Below is a short description of the various stages of each turn in the game. If
you are familiar with PC gaming, this section provides a broad overview of the
game flow. Other players can use it as a brief introduction before the game
interfaces and battle strategies are discussed in detail, later in the Strategy Map
and the Battle Mode sections of the manual (p.19 and p.33).

Prepare for War!

As a Daimyo of one of the clans you control a number of provinces at the start
of the game. Each province provides a variable amount of income in the form
of koku (one man’s yearly rice ration). As this income is generated and gathered
from your provinces, you can spend it on the training and maintenance of your
armies and other special units as well as upgrading your buildings, fortifications
or expanding economic production.

• Always build a castle in your most important provinces. Without the most
basic fortification, you cannot train soldiers, nor hold out in a siege.

• A rival Daimyo can immediately claim a province that doesn’t have any
troops stationed in it.

NEW GAME MENU

Choose from three modes of play:

FULL CAMPAIGN - Select a clan and conquer the whole of Japan to become
supreme ruler of Japan, the Shogun.

CUSTOM BATTLE - Engage in a fully-customisable single battle.

HISTORICAL BATTLES - Take part in some of Medieval Japan’s greatest
battles.

• Highlight and

click the game mode of your choice.

To return to the Main menu at any time, click the Folded over page
at the bottom of a menu screen.

Note: Any changes you have made to video, game, audio and other options are
retained for the game you are about to play.

FULL CAMPAIGN

Select one of seven clans and fight a campaign that may extend over 80 years
or more. This mode of play combines a strategic element with a real time battle
element to create a truly immersive gameplay environment. But, be mindful, it
may take many generations, encompassing years of struggle and sacrifice, to
conquer the whole of Japan and become Shogun!

Toast your Victory or lick your wounds

When a battle is resolved on the battlefield, the surviving armies return to the
Strategy Map and the winner of the battle controls the disputed province
(though, if the defending army retreats to a castle, you must take the castle
before you fully control the province).

In this way, you must expand your domains to reign over all Japan. However, it
would be a foolish man who did not remember that all rival Daimyo are equally
ruthless, ambitious and driven by a belief in their own destiny. You can be
assured that, each one, in his own way, will be trying to wrest your territories
from you.

Each turn consists of the following sequence of events

1. Select Training and Building options and view information.

2. Move army and strategic unit pieces (See The Strategy Map Screen

section pp.19 – 22).

3. Click ‘END TURN’ button (See The Map View on p.19).

4. View and decide events (enemy unit movements, battles, etc.). Then

resolve any battles automatically or in real-time.

5. Review of the Harvest (each Winter i.e. once every four turns).

Lead your army into battle

Once you have trained armies and given them each a general, you can
command them into battle by moving the specific army piece into an enemy’s
province. This move of aggression will provoke one of three results:

•

The enemy army stands firm and readies itself for battle. The
two armies clash on the Strategy Map and a real-time battle is fought, if
you wish. See Battle Mode on p.33 for details.

Note: You are given the option of letting the game automatically calculate the
result. However, a human general is invariably a far wiser general than his
Artificial Intelligence stand-in.

•

The enemy Daimyo decides it is prudent to withdraw. He draws
his forces back to a castle, thus forcing you into a siege situation (see
Castles and Sieges section on p.29). If he has no castle, he may retreat to
a neighbouring province (if it is part of his territory), so saving himself
from an inglorious defeat.

Note: As Sun Tzu makes clear, to withdraw does not mean your enemy is
beaten. Almost invariably, he will be back, and in greater numbers.

• There is no enemy army. If there are no enemy troops defending the
province or garrisoned in the castle, you can take the province
unopposed.

Note: After you have conquered a province, you will need to station troops
there to cement your authority as a firm and powerful ruler (see Population
Loyalty and Revolts section on p.30).

FULL CAMPAIGN MODE - THE
STRATEGIC MAP

Here, in front of the Strategy map, you can view the entire Japanese nation and
plan your conquest at your leisure. It is central to Full Campaign mode and is
where you issue orders, commission the construction of buildings, order the
training of your warriors and direct your units to mobilise for battle or
missions.

This is your war room and your meeting room, where you must manage your
economy and organise your dealings with rival Daimyo through diplomacy, or
espionage and assassination. To understand the nature of your undertaking,
you must first familiarise yourself with the resources at your disposal as well as
the concepts of creating a mighty clan.

• The onscreen prompts alert you to any important events that must take
place in your Throne Room – see

View the Throne Room section on p.26

for further information.

THE MEANS OF EXPANSION

Koku

The standard unit of
currency in 16th
Century Japan. Literally,
the amount of rice
needed to feed one man
for one year. It is the
measure of the value of
all commodities and is the single most important resource in Feudal Japan. Each
province provides an income (paid each Winter) to the Daimyo controlling it.
Clearly then, areas with a high koku yield are more desirable territories than
those with a low koku yield.

Without an income of koku, a Daimyo is powerless to train men, construct
buildings or maintain his clan forces so the need to control land and the bounty
it brings forth is immediately apparent.

Technology and Progress

In all civilisations, innovation is tied inextricably to progress. So it goes in
Shogun – Total War. You should take note that you cannot run before you can
walk. In the same way, you cannot build a mighty Citadel without first
constructing lesser defences.

The linear nature of your construction options is illustrated on the enclosed
Technology Tree for clarity’s sake. But simply, be aware that as your wealth,
honour and experience increase, so the options available to you will also
increase and become attainable.

• Before you can train units in a province, you must first construct a castle
and the respective training facility.

• Building options vary from province to province. These options are
dependent upon the province’s geographical location (i.e. a Port) or upon
the presence of valuable mineral deposits.

Shogun – Total War’s technology tree is intuitive so you can pick it up as you
play. However, since good generals leave nothing to chance, here are a few
important points to consider:

Basic Tips for holding your territory

Defend your territory

- Always keep a group of units in each province
bordering an enemy province otherwise aggressive forces may take the territory
unopposed.

Population Loyalty - Keep an eye on the loyalty of your subjects or they
may revolt. To do this, right-click a province to bring up the province Info
Parchment (See Info Parchment section on p.21) Less than 100% indicates that
you may have problems with the population in this province.

• See

Population Loyalty and Revolts section on p.30 for more information.

Important Koku factors

• Harvests vary from year to year and are gathered in each Winter. A good
year can be +50% up on a normal yield, while a bad year can drop as low
as –50%. Additionally, natural disasters can completely destroy a year’s
harvest in a province.

• Each Farmland upgrade can increase base koku yield significantly.

• Increase income through trading. To trade, you must build Ports.

• Increasing the tax rate will increase your income but be aware as it will
also reduce the loyalty of your subjects.

• Building Mines can also create additional koku.

• Troops (Units) cost a certain amount of koku to maintain each year after
they are trained.

Tip: In the Building Panel, you can upgrade farmland to improve potential
koku yields. Additional ways of increasing koku yield are through the building
of mines in mineral rich areas and the encouragement of trade.

Protect Your Koku Yields

The areas with the highest koku yield, either from agriculture, mines or trade
are your greatest asset – they should be protected at all costs.

• A castle allows you to hold out in a siege. The larger the fortification, the
more units you can garrison there and the longer they can hold out.

Note: If a province is disputed, neither clan derives any income until the siege
has been resolved.

Other sources of Koku

Always check on a province’s other natural attributes. If you can build a mine
in a province, this makes it very valuable. Equally, a province with coastal
access is suited to trading.

14 15

Terrain advantages

The terrain varies in each province and, as a result, imparts different
advantages to the wise leader. Mountainous provinces are much easier to
defend, but their farmland is not generally as bountiful. Provinces with rivers
have a triple advantage; they are easier to defend, don’t suffer any penalties in
their income and also encourage trade. Provinces with a coastline offer the
added advantages of increased trade opportunities and moving units by ship.

Tip: Ports enable you to move your armies to any other province under your
control, which also has a Port. This is essential as your empire grows, enabling
you to quickly move your armies to the front lines.

Strategic Units – Neglect them at your peril

Though comparatively costly, strategic units should not be overlooked as an
important method for strengthening your position amongst the Daimyo
hierarchy. Remember, there may be occasions where negotiation and subterfuge
can guide you along a far preferable path than direct confrontation and bloody
warfare.

• Any strategic unit can be used to spy and provide basic details. Simply
drag them into the province you require information from.

• Emissaries – Enable you to propose alliances to other Daimyo.

• Shinobi - Spy on enemy provinces, incite revolts and counter spy.

• Ninja – Assassinate your enemies and their worthies.

• Priest – A Catholic emissary. Especially useful in dealing with Christian
Daimyo.

• Legendary Geisha – The most effective assassin in the game.

To send any Strategic unit to perform a task, drag them onto an enemy unit or
castle. A pop-up appears giving you various options.

Note: Strategic Units only become available once you have constructed the
requisite buildings. See the enclosed Technology Tree and the Strategic Units
section on p.57 for full details.

Scouting - You would be well advised to scout out enemy provinces to see
which ones are most bountiful. If you are successful in your expansionary
aggression not only do you benefit from the extra koku yield that province
provides, but your enemy is all the weaker for the loss of income.

Spying - Any strategic unit can be used to spy in an enemy province, while
watchtowers act as spies into neighbouring provinces.
Note: The longer the Shinobi stays in the province the more information he will
gather.

The Cost of War - When a province falls to an enemy Daimyo, the level of
the castle, and some of the building upgrades that depended on that level are
downgraded by one level (or destroyed if they are at a basic level). You should
always attempt to keep your most important buildings well protected and away
from the heat of battle.

Regional Specialisation - Different provinces are renowned for their
specialisation in training different types of units, for example Iga is famous for
the skills of its Ninja. Investigating the strengths and weaknesses of a province
before deciding whether to build there is always advised.

• You can get an indication of the specialisation of each province by
looking at the illustrations on the Strategy Map or by checking the
province’s Right-click Info Parchment (See Info Parchment on p.21).

16 17

Events

Events of note take place in the Daimyo’s Throne Room at the end of each turn
in the Map Screen. You sit before your Map, waited on by your trusty advisor
and a geisha while you receive visitors from Japan and beyond. Some may
come with the best of intentions whilst others may be bent upon coercion and
even out-and-out aggression. You must make the choices that will mould the
future of you and your peoples.

• See the

View the Throne Room section on p.26 for more information.

THE STRATEGY MAP SCREEN

Your view of the war map of Japan.

Manage Your Koku Wisely

Keep an eye on your income – taxes only come in once a year and it’s easy to
run out of money between buildings, upgrades and training units.

Buildings

To become Shogun, you must build a mighty army but,
without places for unseasoned young men to be tutored in the
noble arts of samurai warfare, you cannot prepare for the long
battles ahead. A wise Daimyo will carefully consider where he constructs his
buildings and trains his forces to ensure his territories remain the property of
his clan. Of course, koku reserves must be available to cover any work ordered
or the buildings cannot be built.

• See the

Constructing Buildings section on p. 25 for building instructions.

• You can review your income and your costs by looking at the Economic
Info Parchment (see

The Info Parchment section on p.21).

Note: For a full list of Building types available in Shogun - Total War, see the
separate Technology Tree.

Soldiers (Units)

To create a mighty army you must first recruit
and train your warriors in the arts of Bushido
in your dojo (training centres). As explained
in the Technology Tree, you must first
possess a Castle and a specialist building.
Once you’ve met these criteria, unit
training options become available to you.

• Be mindful. Your store of koku is not
endless and the neighbouring Daimyo
may have a far mightier army than
your own. Attack only when you are
confident of victory or your reign will
be brought to a swift and final
conclusion!

BUILDING YOUR CLAN

The following section deals with the foundation and expansion of your clan
from humble beginnings to historical significance.

Training Units

1. First, click on a province containing a castle and training
facilities (buildings). Any buildings already constructed are
displayed in the Review Panel.

2. Now, click the TRAIN UNITS toggle and your current unit training options
appear in the Unit Training pop-up.

3. Click on the unit type you wish to train, taking note of how much each
unit costs. Continue adding units to the queue (up to a maximum of six
units).

The Alliances Parchment – Proposing Alliances

You can propose Alliances to other Daimyo by dragging an emissary piece onto
another Daimyo (in the field he is identified by a Mounted Samurai piece,
though he may be resting in a castle, too).

Both clans vow not to raise arms against each other or their lands and the good
will between them ensures a temporary peace.

To ensure that you are aware of all current alliances, you should consult the
Alliances Parchment. For Samurai, the breaking of an alliance, under most
circumstances, is against all honourable virtues. If you do break an alliance,
your Daimyo’s honour will suffer as a result.

•

Click the Info Parchment toggle to bring up the Alliances Parchment.
There are a series of icons on the Parchment to access information on
Armies, Economy, Spies, Ninja and their missions and Heirs.

Constructing Buildings

Building Structures

1. Click

on the province where you want to construct a building.

2. Click on the ‘CONSTRUCT BUILDINGS’ toggle. The Building Production
pop-up appears. Click the building you wish to add to the Production
queue.

Note: Highlight a building with the cursor and an Info Parchment describes the
building type.

3. Now you may either click on another building (see Job Queuing), another
region or click again on the ’CONSTRUCT BUILDINGS’ toggle to close the
Building Production pop-up.

Note: The building is not constructed overnight but takes a number of seasons,
the exact number is defined in the Building Profile Info parchment. This is
viewed from the Review Panel when the BUILDING PRODUCTION pop up is
active.

Once the building is constructed, it appears in the Review Panel when you click
the province where you ordered it built. The only exception to this are Castles,
which are displayed on the map itself.

• To cancel a building, either

right-click the building or drag and drop its
icon outside of the production queue. It disappears from the production
queue. Once construction of a building has started, you cannot cancel it.

• To change the order of any unit or building in the production queue, click
and drag the building icon to a new position in the queue.

• The grey shading on the icon of the building being built indicates
progress. The less grey there is, the nearer the building is to completion.

4. To close the pop-up, click the TRAIN UNITS toggle or the close parchment
(X) button.

5. Once trained, the units remain in the garrison awaiting your command.

• To break up a large army into two or more smaller armies, select an
army then click and drag one or more of the units onto the map.

• To merge armies or move units between garrisons and armies, see
Organising and Directing Units on p.26

Note: When your Daimyo is a general of an army the army’s piece (icon) is a
mounted horseman. This is equally useful when you engage with enemy
armies, since you can see, at a glance, whether a rival Daimyo is leading the
opposing army.

Job Queuing

If you are particularly wealthy, you may wish to queue certain jobs. Both
building and training jobs can be queued in the Queue bar in the Building
Production and Unit Training pop-ups.

Note: If you queue up a building or training command and run out of money
before the building or training has commenced then the order will stay in the
queue until you have enough koku to complete it. The entire cost of a building
(or of training a unit) is deducted in the first season when building or training
commences.

Cancelling an order

You can cancel any building or training order at any time during a turn.
However, if you click the END TURN icon, you cannot then cancel an order that
has already been started in the previous turn.

1. Click on TRAIN UNITS or CONSTRUCT BUILDINGS toggle.

2. Now, right-click on the unit icon you wish to cancel in the respective

job queue. The icon disappears from the job queue and the order is
cancelled.

Note: Like units, the cost of building a structure is deducted from your reserves
when you click the END TURN icon.

24 25

Drag and Drop Units from an Army or Castle

You can select units from the Review Panel when either a castle or army is
selected.

•

Click on the unit/s in the Review Panel. Then drag the selected unit/s
directly into the province or onto another army or castle in the same
province.

• Dragging units into a castle garrisons the castle.

Note: To de-select a unit from the group, click the unit again.

Merge Units

Create a large army from two or more smaller armies.

• Drag one army piece and drop it on another army piece and the two
units are merged.

• The maximum number of units your can merge together is 16 units.

Note: The units must have occupied the same province for one turn before
they can merge.

Merge Two Units of the same type

If two or more units have suffered great losses, you can merge the units
together. However, they won't merge, if they exceed the maximum unit size (See
Performance Options on p.71).

• To merge units,

click the unit on the Review Panel and drag it onto the

unit you are merging it with.

Invading an Enemy Province

Once you feel that the time is right for an attack on an enemy Daimyo’s
territory, you should do the following.

1. Click and drag your troops into the province you wish to conquer. An
event pop-up appears, allowing you to confirm whether you wish to wage
war against this Daimyo.

Note: No pop-up is shown if you are already at war.

2. Then, if you have completed all your actions this season, click the END

TURN icon.

View The Throne Room

The Throne Room is where you automatically go each time an
emissary or other visitor is granted an audience by you.

• To cut short a visitor’s speech and go straight to making a decision, press
SPACEBAR.

MOBILISING YOUR ARMIES

When the time is right, you should begin your campaign of Total Warfare.
Mobilising your armies takes the battle to other Daimyo’s territory and could
leave your own provinces relatively peaceful – for now, at least.

Organising and Directing Units

Crucial to your aim of becoming Shogun is the organisation and mobilisation of
your trained units. Promoting a general allows the honoured individual to head
up a mobile unit of your trusted soldiers. This is the only way units can leave a
garrison in the province where they were trained to assist you in the conquest
of all Japan.

Tip: Split up large armies into smaller armies to expand into empty territory
more rapidly.

The General Unit

When you create an army, the general is contained within the first
unit chosen to create that army. To find which unit he is in, click the
army piece. Now, look at the Review Panel. The unit with a star is
the unit containing your general.

Castles and Sieges

If you successfully invade a province with
a castle garrisoning troops then the
defenders can hold out inside the
fortifications and prepare themselves for
a siege. The attacker and defender have a
number of options.

As Attacker

Siege:

Don’t attack the castle. Each turn that the defenders stay besieged

in the castle they will lose a number of men to famine and disease.

Storm the castle: Attack the castle and fight on the Castle battlefield.
Move your units onto the castle to activate this function.

As Defender

Siege:

The defender can attempt to hold out against the attacking army.

Note: It is not possible to build or train while under siege and neither side gets
any income from the province while it is in turmoil.

Break Siege: The defender can choose to charge out of the castle and
attack the attackers in a field battle trying to drive them from the
province. Move your armies from your Castle onto the province to break
the siege.

Note: If a defender loses a castle battle they will suffer 100% casualties, as there
is no route of escape or retreat. However, the defender may bring in additional
troops from neighbouring provinces to help break the siege.

3. Once you have been notified of any events of note, you proceed to Battle
Mode to fight it out in real-time.

• Taking your Daimyo into battle will inspire units to fight with more
intensity, but there is a risk that he can be killed. If your Daimyo is killed
and has no heirs, then your Clan will be without a leader and will break
down – the game is over.

Ending a Turn

Whilst it may seem sensible to speed the passage of time
to build up your treasury’s koku reserves, this is not the
path of a wise man. You should manage each of your
provinces and ensure that, each turn, you do all you can
to speed yourself along the path to total domination.

• When you are finished with your decision-making,

click the END TURN

icon.

Note: Once you have clicked END TURN, any orders you made cannot be
cancelled.

The Scenic Tour

The Scenic tour enables you to view the troop movements in adjacent enemy
provinces in the previous turn. It is very useful for gauging the military climate
and intent as well as highlighting the course of other Daimyo’s respective
fortunes.

• To skip scenic tour hit the SPACEBAR.

28 29

Garrisons: If you have an army in a province it will help to settle the
subjects. You should ensure that you have particularly large garrisons in
recently conquered areas. A weak Daimyo is one that the populace will
have no respect for.

Shinobi: Shinobi can stir trouble in an enemy province by encouraging
revolt. In addition, they can provide counter intelligence services in their
own province, which can decrease the chance of revolt.

Daimyo’s remoteness: The distance from the province to the Daimyo
affects how loyal a population feel.

Typhoons & Earthquakes: Though acts of God, your populace don’t
tend to respond well to natural disasters.

Land Improvements: The upheaval necessary to change for the better
will, of course, negatively affect loyalty in the short term.

Border Towers and Border Forts: No one likes to feel they’re being
spied on.

Religious unrest: When your Daimyo’s religion doesn’t match his
people’s religion, there may be trouble.

Revolt Types:

Peasant Revolt:

The revolutionary army will be primarily made up of

Ashigaru rabble.

Loyalist Revolt: This is a revolt where the province is still loyal to the
previous Daimyo. As a result, the revolutionary army will be a samurai
army.

Buddhist Revolt: This is possibly the most dangerous revolt of all, as
the revolutionary army is made of fanatical warrior monks. With their
mobile temples and their innate religious gravitas, Warrior monks may
make your Buddhist warriors falter in battle.

Christian Revolt: The revolutionary army will be a Christian Samurai
army.

Note: Revolts also influence the neighbouring provinces, and if a revolt starts
in one province it can soon spread to other provinces.

OTHER FACTORS

Population Loyalty and Revolts

In Feudal Japan, though the overlord
wielded absolute power, without the
support of the people, his tenure could be
abruptly ended by other upstart samurai.
In general, the people were loyal where
they experienced strong, yet fair, rulers.
There are many occasions of peasants’ revolts throughout the period, and, for
the most part, these revolts occurred because a Daimyo showed weakness or
incredible cruelty.

“

One who does not gain the masses will not be victorious”

- Sun Pin (Sun Tzu’s grandson)

When you view the Info Parchment for each province you will notice a statistic
for Population Loyalty, represented as a percentage. This number represents
how content the peasants are with the Daimyo who controls that province.

• If the Peasant Loyalty is below 100% then there is a chance that there will
be a revolt in the province.

Population Loyalty is affected by numerous factors:

Tax Rate:

You can set the tax rate at any time. Click on the ‘Koku’
counter on the information panel to open the ‘Set Tax Rate’ pop-up. High
tax rates may bring in more koku but your population loyalty may suffer
as a result.

Harvest: A good harvest will make your subjects content, a bad harvest
will make them unhappy.

Loyalty to a former Daimyo: The subjects are loyal to the Daimyo
they are familiar with. If you take over a province then the peasants will
be unsettled and prone to revolt. It can take up to 5 years until their
loyalty is completely transferred to a new Daimyo.

30 31

Weather and the Seasons

You should certainly take note of the
potential weather conditions when
planning your battles in the Map Screen. If
you choose to attack in winter you will
have much less time to resolve the battle
once you enter Battle mode, since your
armies will only fight effectively during
daylight hours. In addition, wet weather
tires troops more quickly since their armour is strung together with absorbent cord
and the quilting padding also absorbs water making the suit very heavy. Equally,
snow affects the troops resolve and obscures their vision over long distances.

Accordingly, many units are affected to differing degrees and in different ways
by inclement weather:

• The arquebus and musket will not work in wet weather, except light rain.

• Bows become less effective in wet weather as the strings get damp.

• Both accuracy and range of bows is reduced in high wind.

BATTLE MODE

If you want to tighten the straps of your helmet and lead your army straight into a
pre-definable battle against the CPU, choose HISTORICAL BATTLES or CUSTOM BATTLE.

• To take on another human opponent, see the

Multiplayer section on p.73.

• You also enter Battle mode to resolve battles in a FULL CAMPAIGN game,
should you choose.

Tutorial - A Guided tour of Battle Mode

Below, you can find all you need to know when you command your armies in
Battle Mode.

• If you require a walkthrough of battle mode, choose the TUTORIAL option
in the Main menu.

Note: Battle Mode is accessible as part of the Full Campaign, Historical Battles,
Custom battles and Multiplayer.

Religion

There are a number of factors that can
influence the chances of religious revolts
(Christian or Buddhist).

Churches & Temples:

A province containing a Church or Temple is a devout one and many of
its subjects will have a fervent belief in the chosen religion - fervent
enough to fight a Daimyo ignoble enough to encroach on their holy land.

Christian Emissaries or Warrior Monks: Christian Emissaries are
unsurpassed in negotiation with Christian Daimyo while Warrior Monks
will fight against their enemies with a fervour that has to be seen to be
believed.

Changing Religion: If you renounce Buddhism to embrace Christianity
(in order to trade for guns with westerners) then your Buddhist followers
may very well turn against you.

Ronin

If a Daimyo dies and has no heirs then all the provinces which
were under his control will break up into independent, lawless
provinces controlled by independent armies of masterless
samurai (ronin). They may have no master but their resolve to
defend is, nonetheless, strong.

Cursor Help

When you point the cursor at icons and units, you get a quick description
alongside the cursor.

Red text – Enemy information

White text – Your units’ information.

• This text gives you a good idea of how individual units are fairing in
battle so don’t neglect it.

Range indicator cursor

• If the arrow is green, this indicates that the enemy units are
within range of your missile-firing units. Red indicates the units
are currently out of range.

• If the arrow is crossed through, the currently selected unit is out
of ammunition, or can't fire due to wet weather.

Surveying the Domain

Use the Arrow keys or the mouse-scroll to move around the map.

Changing your Viewpoint

Line of Sight

In order to create more realistic battlefield scenarios, you can only see as far as
your units’ line of sight allows.

• Before battle commences, the pale circle on the Map View
shows the extent of your unit’s view of the terrain. Using
units to scout and extend your view over the terrain
should not be overlooked as an effective strategy.

Note: To switch ‘Line of Sight’ off, go to Game Options, Realism Settings and
deselect RESTRICT CAMERA.

Creating Line Formations

Line formations are most important for your
Missile-firing units (archers, arquebusiers and
musketeers) since only the front ranks can fire.
Stretching them out so they are two ranks deep
ensures that all arms can be brought accurately
to bear upon your enemy.

1. Select a unit (or group of units). Now, click, hold and drag out the
mouse. A ghost of the selected units appears.

2. Move the mouse so you are happy with the unit formation and release the
Left Mouse button.

3. The units move into their new position.

Quick Guide to Unit Formations

CLOSE FORMATION – Shortcut: C. Best for defence or general combat.
Also best for morale to stop your men routing.

LOOSE FORMATION –

Shortcut: L. Best if under attack from range

projectile weapons.

WEDGE FORMATION –

Shortcut: W. Best for breaking through enemy
lines. Increases the damage your men inflict, but at the cost of their
defence.

LINES –

Select, hold and drag. Best used with missile-firing units

(archers and arquebusiers) since only the front ranks can fire.

Hints on using formations

• If your men are attacked from the rear or from the flanks they fight
much less effectively.

• If formations break up or your men are not in ordered ranks then their
morale will be put to the test. In such situations they may well rout.

BATTLE FORMATIONS

To be a master of warfare you must first become conversant with the
techniques by which your army can overrun an opponent in the heat of battle.
Whilst much may be down to the unit type and experience of individual
soldiers, a wise Daimyo, familiar with the battle strategies of Sun Tzu, can
triumph against seemingly overwhelming odds.

Different unit formations have strengths and weaknesses, which a wise man
will soon become patently aware of. Move answered by counter move is sure to
occur when two mighty generals clash, so make sure you know your battlefield
tactics when you take on the enemy!

Changing Preset Formations

In the heat of battle, a good general must be able to direct his troops quickly
and surely. The ability to command multiple units and ensure they are in the
formation best suited to that particular situation is a skill that must be learned
through study and hard lessons at the hand of more experienced generals or
Daimyo.

1. Select the units whose formation you want to change.

2. Click relevant icon on the Icon Menu Bar.

or

Right-click, then highlight FORMATION in the drop-down menu and highlight

and click the Formation type you wish your selected units to adopt.

or

Press the relevant keyboard shortcut (detailed below).

3. The unit(s) move into position.

Note: Clearly, it takes a certain amount of time to move into position. Ensure

you allow enough time for your units to re-form or you may be trounced by the
opposing army.

44 45

Melee Mode

Order your selected units to fight the enemy in one of three melee styles.

• To use Melee mode, you must first select one or more units.

SKIRMISH: The selected units break out of formation on hit-and-

run attacks before returning to the safety of the unit
formation.

HOLD FORMATION: The selected units attempt to stay in formation as they

engage the enemy.

ENGAGE AT WILL: The units engage with the enemy without retaining

their formation.

PREPARING FOR BATTLE

Deploying your army - Attacking

The attacker chooses the day of the invasion. This allows you to have some
choice over the weather on the day of the battle. The disadvantage is that you
have to enter battle in a pre-defined formation and position.

• Take note of the Timer in the top right hand corner of the
Battle View. You must vanquish your foe before the white runs
out.

Deploying your army - Defending

If you are defending, you can deploy your units anywhere you wish within the
confines of the area designated by the bamboo poles.

When you define the position of a unit, it is immediately placed in the desired
location.

• When you have finished deploying your units,

click BEGIN BATTLE to let

battle commence.

Quick Guide to Group Formations

When you click the Group Formation icon, the following icons appear along the
top of the screen. If you use the drop down menu, they appear in a new menu.

Note: The keyboard shortcut numbers are in bold.

SINGLE LINE: Good all-purpose formation to deploy your

troops in a single line.

1.

DEFENSIVE: Puts your defensive units to the front ready to

bear the brunt of an enemy attack.

2.

SQUARE FORMATION: Good defensive formation, which protects your

Taisho within the ranks of his warriors. 3.

SKIRMISH LEFT: Puts your missile-firing units (archers and

gunners) to the left, ready to harass the enemy.

4.

SKIRMISH CENTRE: Puts your missile-firing units (archers and

gunners) to the centre, ready to harass the
enemy.

5.

SKIRMISH RIGHT: Puts your missile-firing units (archers and

gunners) to the right, ready to harass the
enemy.

6.

LEFT HAND OFFENSIVE: The formation is structured to support attack

to the left.

7.

CENTRE OFFENSIVE: The formation is balanced on either side ready

to attack. 8.

RIGHT HAND OFFENSIVE: The formation is structured to support attack

to the right.

9.

Note: You must have two or more units selected to employ any sort of Group

Formation.

Using Fixed Facing

Fixed facing allows you to ensure that your units face in the correct direction
upon arrival at their new location.

• To order the units to move without changing the direction the front ranks
are facing, hold

ALT and click.

• To change the direction the unit/s face, hold ALT + right-click. The
units do not proceed to the point but turn to look at it.

Changing game speed

Sometimes, you may want to speed up the flow of the game.

•

Click and drag the speed slider beneath the radar to adjust the game
speed.

•

CTRL + T to jump from 0% (normal speed) to 100%
(Fastest game speed).

• Move the slider left to slow the game down to the
basic speed (0%), and right to speed it up (100%).

• To pause the game, press the Pause or P button.

Note: In single player games you can issue orders to your men while the game

is paused.

Engaging with the Enemy

1. First, select one or more units.

Now, move the cursor over the unit you wish to attack.
The cursor icon changes.

• A sword icon indicates that your units will attack hand-to-hand.
Displayed for melee (hand-to-hand) troops –

Click to attack,

double click to charge.

• A Bow icon cursor indicates that your units will use projectile
weaponry. This icon is displayed for both archers and gunners –

Click to fire.

Note: Missile-firing units do not have unlimited ammunition and can run out.

Take note of their ammunition levels and attempt to conserve supplies. If you
wish to alter reality settings see Game Options on pp.71-72.

Force missile-firing units to fight hand-to-hand

There are situations where you may want to force your missile-firing units to
fight hand-to-hand. For example, if you want to wipe out the last few survivors
of an enemy unit.

• Press

ALT + click to force missile-firing units to fight hand-to-hand.

Advanced Control Techniques

Using Waypoints

Use waypoints to give your units specific instructions about a route that you
want them to follow.

Setting a waypoint - SHIFT + click

• Remember, hit the SPACEBAR to show the ‘ghosts’ for your units next
destination.

• To show the current waypoints for selected units, hold

SHIFT.

48 49

When you choose to attack in Battle Mode you can, to a limited extent, choose
what sort of conditions you will attack under when your advisor informs you of
the weather conditions. However, there comes a point when the enemy is upon
you and the battle must commence.

Additionally, the length of a battle is decided by the season since victory must
be decided before nightfall. This offers an advantage to defending armies if a
battle takes place in winter. Conversely, a summer battle gives an attacker a
longer amount of time to grind down his adversary.

Conditions required for Victory

There are a range of victory conditions.

General battles - Your objective is to kill or rout the enemy from the
battlefield.

Castle battles/Sieges - Your objective is to fight your way into the castle
and take the keep by killing or routing the enemy.

Note: In winter, the days are shorter and the aggressor only has a limited
amount of time to win the battle. If the aggressor does not defeat the enemy
quickly then they must withdraw.

HISTORICAL BATTLES

Take the place of one of the four most important Daimyos in Japanese history
in a selection of pre-set battles. Spanning thirty of the most turbulent years of
the country’s history, you can command the armies of the four great ‘Daimyos –
Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen, Tokugawa Ieyasu or Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

The battles are as follows:

DAIMYO BATTLES

Nobunaga Anegwa, Nagashima
Takeda Shingen 4th Kawankajima
Tokugawa Nagakute, Mikata Ga Hara
Hideyoshi Yamazaki

Using the Terrain

You will soon become aware of the advantages that are to be gained if you use
the terrain to good effect. If you neglect to use the terrain you can be assured
that your opponent will.

Hills

Fighting from higher ground gives your troops a significant advantage in
combat; they can see more of the action and can react and fight more strongly
than their opponents who have to advance uphill.

“Fight going down hill, not climbing up.”

—

Sun Tzu, The Art of War

• The range and accuracy of missile-firing units is improved.

• Units get tired more quickly moving uphill.

• Units fighting downhill gain a combat bonus.

• The range of their line of sight is improved.

Forests

Using the natural cover is something that generals would be wise to do,
especially when threatened by projectile fire or cavalry charges. Trees enable
your units to hide from the enemy and the vegetation overhead provides cover
from projectile attack. The movement of cavalry is severely restricted by forests
and this makes them vulnerable to infantry units.

Other Factors:

• Cliffs are impassable to all units so offer a definite strategic advantage
should your units be positioned upon them.

• It should be noted that bridges over rivers are very easily defended.

Weather and Seasonal Conditions

As discussed earlier in the Full Campaign section of the manual, a wise Daimyo
will be aware of the drawbacks of waging war in differing seasons and weather
conditions. Your units are, after all, human, and are therefore subject to the
same laws of nature that affects all living creatures!

Yari Ashigaru

Requires: Spear Dojo

The standard Ashigaru is equipped with light armour and a Yari - a long spear.
They are conscripted peasants and, as such, are poorly trained. The wall of
spears which they can present to the enemy make them singularly effective
against enemy cavalry, as long as they can hold formation. When their fear of
the enemy exceeds their fear of their masters, they often waver.

Yari Samurai

Requires: Spear Dojo

The Yari is a long spear, making these troops very effective defending against
mounted opponents. So long as the unit remains well ordered, they are good
against most troop types.

Cavalry Archers

Requires: Horse Dojo and Archery Dojo

A mounted Samurai with sword and bow. They are fast, flexible, and pack a
nasty sting from medium range. They are best employed in harrying poorly
defended troops at close quarters and standing off and peppering slower units
with bow fire.

Warrior Monks

Requires: Buddhist Temple

These Buddhist fanatics carry a portable shrine as their unit standard, which
makes enemy Buddhist troops most reluctant to engage them. Christian troops
do not suffer this same reluctance.

UNIT TYPES

Here is a full list of unit types and the facilities needed to produce them.

Note: Training options do not appear until you have fulfilled the building
requirements.

Soldiers (Units)

The building blocks of your armies; essential in your campaign to become
Shogun. You should be wary though for, once trained, there is a fixed cost to
maintain them. This cost may become a drain on your resources, if you do not
manage your finances carefully.

Honour

When units are trained they generally begin with an honour level of 0. However,
if they are trained in certain provinces, renowned for the skills of their
inhabitants or with certain building upgrades, they may gain an honour bonus.
This can give a Daimyo a great advantage against his enemy on the battlefield
and should not be underestimated.

• Honour of your units grows with battle experience. The very sight of a
battle-hardened army in full armour will strike fear into the heart of
young, inexperienced samurai recruits.

Armour

In addition, with an Armoury or Swordsmith your smiths can produce better
armour and weapons. See the Technology Tree for further details.

Note: All units gain experience in battle and as their honour level increases
they can become far more effective.

Samurai Archers

Requires:

Archery Dojo

These are the standard Samurai foot soldiers. Their main weapon is the bow
but, should it be necessary, they can fight, hand-to-hand with their katana. With
experience, they can become fearless, ruthlessly efficient cornerstones of your
forces.

54 55

Yari Cavalry

Requires: Spear Dojo and Horse Dojo

These mounted samurai, armed with spears, are not as heavily armoured as
heavy cavalry is, but they make up for this with additional speed. They are
very useful as a strike force against enemy units who are poor in hand-to-hand
combat or for chasing down retreating enemies.

Strategic Units

Taisho

Requires:

Nothing

A Taisho (or general) is required to lead a group of units into battle. As he gains
in rank and experience he adds to the combat ability and morale of all his
troops. Normal Taisho can be leaders of any unit type. They can be identified in
battle by their special standards.

Note: If you take your Daimyo onto the battlefield, he appears on the
battlefield with a small group of Heavy Cavalry bodyguards.

Emissary

Requires:

Tranquil Garden

These are Samurai trained in all the traditional arts and used as diplomats. They
are sent to enemy Daimyo on missions to propose treaties and to gather
information on enemy armies and defences. All Emissaries gain experience each
time their mission succeeds. Experience is their only defence against Ninja
Attack.

Shinobi

Requires:

Tea House

Shinobi are spies. In an enemy province they can provide information about
enemy armies and defences, while also encouraging discontent among the
peasants, which can lead to revolt. In your own province they can act as
counterspies, seeking out enemy spies. In addition, they can also increase the
loyalty of your own peasants.

Arquebusiers

Requires:

Trading Post

Conscripted foot soldiers equipped with simple arquebuses (muskets). They are
effective at longer range than archers are and only the heaviest armour has a
chance of stopping their shot at short range. However, they are very poor in
hand-to-hand combat.

Note: The arquebusiers will only fire their weapons in very light rain at a
reduced rate and accuracy. Heavier rain will render their weapons useless

Naginata

Requires:

Spear Dojo and Armoury

Samurai foot soldiers equipped with heavy armour and Naginata - short pole
arms. They are very strong defensively but a little slow.

Heavy Cavalry

Requires:

Famous Horse Dojo and Armoury

Mounted Samurai equipped with heavy armour and swords. These human and
equine war machines are the feared elite of the Samurai army and are highly
effective as defensive units and utterly deadly when used offensively. Only
long spears and guns are effective against them.

No-Dachi Samurai

Requires:

Sword Dojo

The No-Dachi is a huge two-handed sword, and, accordingly, the stout
troops that wield them are most deadly. They don’t defend well, but are great
for breaking enemy formations and routing troops who are wavering.

Musketeers

Requires

: Port and Trading Post (Dutch) or Port, Trading Post and Gun

Factory (Portuguese)

These are improved Ashigaru who benefit from contact with the European
traders. With a longer range and a higher rate of fire, they can be employed in
the front lines of an army formation. Like the Arquebusiers they can only fire
their weapons in very light rain at a reduced rate and accuracy. Heavier rain
will render their weapons useless.

56 57

BUILDINGS

Castles

There are four levels of
castles in Shogun - Total
War, but they all
perform the same
function.

They are garrisons for you and your armies. In addition, they are the visible
signs of a Daimyo’s power, honour and control of his provinces. Without a
castle to act as an administrative centre, no other military structure can be built
in a province. You must build each grade of castle before you can construct the
next one !

Castle

The lowest grade of fortification. You can garrison 4 units
within this building and it allows the construction of basic
training dojo and other low level structures.

Large Castle

An impressive intermediate structure. It only becomes
available in your Building Production pop-up if you have
already constructed a castle. Once built, your technological
advancement can continue apace and the opportunity for
garrisoning enough units and supplies increases to an extent
that you can hold out for longer in a siege.

Fortress

A Fortress is a good indication to all who covet your provinces
that they will not have an easy time of it, should they decide
to try and wrest it from your grasp. Once built, training dojo
of famous and legendary proportions will ensure that units
trained here brook little resistance in their struggle to unite
Japan under your leadership.

Jesuit Priest

Requires:

Jesuit Church

These Jesuit-trained priests are excellent emissaries when dealing with Christian
Daimyo. While sending a Priest is no guarantee that a proposed treaty will be
accepted, at least you won’t get his head sent back in a bag. Unless, of course,
the enemy Daiymo is Buddhist! Jesuit Priests also help to spread the influence of
Christianity to any provinces that they visit.

Ninja

Requires:

Ninja House

The Ninja is trained from birth for spying and assassination. Enemy Daimyo,
Taisho, Unit Leaders and Emissaries are all possible targets. The more senior the
target, the lower the chance of success. A Ninja’s experience and effectiveness
increases each time he makes a kill.

The Legendary Geisha

Requires:

Geisha House

The Legendary Geisha is a master assassin. The enemy Daimyo knows well
enough what a Geisha is capable of, but protocol prevents him from acting
against her openly. Commissioning a very experienced Ninja is an accepted
method of ridding the Daimyo of this beautiful hindrance.

58 59

Archery Dojo

Requires: Castle

Samurai originally
defined themselves by
their skills at archery,
especially archery from
horseback. The
magnificent asymmetrical longbows of the samurai needed highly skilled
craftsmen to construct them so it was in the interests of every Daimyo to
ensure that such craftsmanship was encouraged in his domain. As such, the
Archery Dojo is one of the basic and fundamental military improvements that
can be constructed at any castle.

• An Archery Dojo allows the castle where it is located to produce Samurai
Archers and it can be upgraded to Famous or Legendary status when
larger castles are built, facilitating general unit improvements.

Armoury

Requires: Castle and

province with iron sand
deposits

Samurai nearly always
provided their own
armour and weaponry.
The same, however, was not true of the ashigaru who were drawn from the
lower, poorer classes. The importance of providing standardised equipment to
their soldiers was realised by the more astute Daimyo during the Sengoku
period. Apart from the obvious benefits of ensuring that their troops were
properly equipped, there was an additional benefit in terms of creating an esprit
de corps among the troops.

• In Shogun - Total War, an Armoury improves the armour values of any
units trained at the castle where it is located. An Armoury can also be
improved to Famous or Legendary status in larger castles with
subsequent armour benefits for units.

Citadel

A Citadel represents the pinnacle of a clan’s rise,
demonstrating to all those whose eyes fall upon its massive
ramparts, that the clan who built it should not be trifled with.
Once built, sensei of legendary status can be acquired by construction of final
dojo upgrades. Units trained and equipped by such masters will undoubtedly
present a fearsome sight to any army unlucky enough to encounter them.

Other Buildings

Spear Dojo

Requires: Castle

A dojo is a place of
training where a sensei
— a master in a
particular skill, craft or
art — can impart his
knowledge to students in the proper atmosphere of calm and learning. This is
as true for the martial arts as for any peaceful pursuit. The best of the sensei
were always encouraged to settle by Daimyo and begin their teachings, not only
for the practical benefits of spreading their skills, but also for the reflected glory
and honour that a true sensei could give to his patron.

• Both Ashigaru and Yari Samurai units can be trained at the Spear Dojo. It
can be upgraded to Famous and Legendary status at larger castles.

• Once it has been upgraded to Famous Spear Dojo status it can also be
used to train Naginata Samurai, providing there is an Armoury at the
castle too.

60 61

It allows the transportation of all units, by sea, to any other provinces with a
Port ruled by your clan. In addition, the construction of a Port gives a trade
revenue bonus.

Note: Without a Port, you will not encounter Europeans and acquire their
modern technologies.

Tea House

Requires:

Castle

“Pen and sword in
accord” is a
simplification of the
Samurai way, but it is
an accurate one.
Samurai were not only expected to be skilled warriors, but highly cultured men
able to produce a haiku verse or officiate at the tea ceremony. A Tea House is a
focal point for travellers and, as such, is the ideal venue to facilitate the training
of Shinobi, the secret agent of the Sengoku Jidai period.

• Once constructed, Shinobi may be trained here. He can then be employed
in spying and counter spying activities. A Tea House can be upgraded to
Famous and Legendary status at larger castles

Sword Dojo

Requires:

Large Castle
and a Legendary
Swordsman (see Note
overleaf)

The sword is the
weapon most closely
associated with the samurai, and mastering its proper use takes time and
endless practice. Many schools of swordsmanship existed in Japan, and
adherents of particular styles were not above duelling against one another to
prove who was the best.

• Once constructed, you may train No Dachi units. As with other buildings,
you may upgrade a Sword Dojo.

Tranquil Garden

Requires:

Castle

Most temples and large,
formal houses in Japan
included space for a
garden as a place for
rest and reflection.
Gardens are also, of course, the perfect place to have a private conversation
with agents, spies and emissaries away from the ears of guards and servants —
not something that was very easy in a Japanese building with thin bamboo and
paper screens!

• A Tranquil Garden can be built in any castle and allows the training of
emissaries. It is also a pre-requisite before building any kind of Temple or
Church.

Ninja House

Requires:

Castle

The secretive Ninja
require their own dojo
(of sorts) to learn their
secret arts of invisibility,
assassination and
spying. Their weapons and skills are so specialised that only a master Ninja can
hope to teach his followers.

• Once a Ninja House is constructed, Ninja may be trained.

Tip: Use Ninja to eradicate emissaries and gain extra Ninja experience for
successful assassinations.

Port

Requires: Castle and a

coastal province

A Port can be built in
any coastal province
that contains a castle.

62 63

• The construction of a Swordsmith ensures that units trained in that castle
training facility will gain an attack advantage in battle. A Swordsmith can
be upgraded to Famous and Legendary status at larger castles

Portuguese & Dutch
Trading Posts

Requires:

Large Castle
and Port; also time
dependant

The arrival of
Portuguese traders
brought the arquebus into Japanese warfare. These weapons were acquired
through trade with the ‘shifty foreign devils’ and were then copied by Japanese
craftsmen. By the time the Dutch arrived in Japan, the Portuguese and the Jesuits
had been there for some time. The Dutch were the same in their willingness to
provide arquebuses to any Daimyo who was willing to trade for them!

Note: A Daimyo can have either Portuguese traders or Dutchmen in his
domain, but not both.

Buddhist Temple

Requires:

Tranquil Garden

Although religion often
leads to a contemplative
life of meditation, there
have always been
religious orders that have valued military prowess as much as prayer. In Japan,
several orders of Buddhist warrior monks were the equal of any other warriors
at the time, and showed no reluctance to becoming involved in politics – and
war - beyond the Temple walls.

• Warrior Monks can be trained once a Temple has been built. A Temple
can be upgraded giving honour bonuses to units trained therein.

Tip: A Temple helps to support the doctrines of Buddhism among the people of
nearby provinces and can “roll back” the presence of Christianity.

Note: A Sword Dojo can only be built when a samurai in the Daimyo’s army
has become a legendary swordsman by killing many opponents in battle. You
are notified when one of your units achieves this status.

“To master the virtue of the long sword is to govern the
world and oneself, thus the long sword is the basis of
strategy. If he attains the virtue of the long sword, one man
can beat ten men. In my strategy, one man is the same as ten
thousand, so this strategy is the complete warrior’s craft.”

— Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings, The
Ground Book

Horse Dojo

Requires: Large Castle

and Archery Dojo/Spear
Dojo to train units

A battle is a frightening
and confusing
experience for a man,
let alone an animal.
Training a horse so that
it was willing to charge the enemy took time and skill. A Horse Dojo provides
just such a location, where horses can be trained expressly for conveying a
proud Samurai horseman into battle.

• A Horse Dojo can produce Cavalry Archers (with an Archery Dojo) and
Yari Cavalry (with a Spear Dojo). With an Armoury, a Famous Horse Dojo
can also train Heavy Cavalry.

Swordsmith

Requires: Large Castle

The importance of high­class weaponry to the
Samurai is renowned
even today. Skilled
swordsmith were the
princes of craftsmanship and any Daimyo worth his salt would lay great store
in having craftsmen and the necessary materials to provide katanas of
unsurpassable quality.

64 65

Gun Factory

Requires: Citadel, Port,

Portuguese or Dutch
Trading Post and
Armoury

Once knowledge of
arquebuses was
generally available, the Daimyo wasted little time in setting up their own
craftsmen to make them. Within a remarkably short space of time Japanese
armourers had mastered all the skills they needed and were producing
arquebuses that were as good as anything from abroad. Once built, the cost of
training gunmen is reduced.

• A Gun Factory can only be created at the largest of castles.

Geisha House

Requires: Citadel,

Infamous Ninja House
and Legendary Tea
House

When all the trappings
of Japanese culture have
been built, a Daimyo can add the final flourish: a Geisha House. These can only
be built at the very largest castles, and help train Geishas for use as spies and,
more importantly, super assassins.

• Geisha can only be killed by another Geisha or a highly experienced Ninja.

Church

Requires:

Large Castle
and acceptance of
alliance with Portuguese

The Portuguese not only
brought advanced
military technology in
the shape of guns, they also imported a religion as well: Roman Catholicism.
The Jesuits who came to Japan spread a very militant variety of Christianity,
and within a few years of their arrival, the Jesuits had converted substantial
sections of the local population.

Once built, Churches help to spread the doctrine of Christianity to the local
population, increasing the number of Christians in nearby provinces and, in the
long term, reducing the chance of a religious revolt.

• A church allows the training of Priests. Once you have six Churches, you
may then construct a Cathedral, which holds even greater sway in
speeding the spread of Christianity. Note, however, that a Citadel is also
required in the province.

Tip: A Christian Daimyo with a Cathedral collects tithes from all of Christian
Japan. This makes Christianity a very lucrative business!

Palace

Requires:

Large Castle

A Palace of any size is
the outward sign of a
healthy and wealthy
Daimyo. His subjects
and soldiers can feel
proud to be a part of a strong and civilised clan.

• A Palace imparts a morale bonus to all units. Palaces can be upgraded to
Golden and Legendary status.

Buildings and Upgrades not dependent upon Castles

Improved Farmland

Improved farmland
increases agricultural
output of the region by
20% each harvest. This
translates directly into
more koku at the end of
the year.

Watchtowers &
Border Forts

There are two
“non-economic”
improvements that a
Daimyo can make in
Shogun - Total War that
do not require the construction of a castle. Firstly, he can build a Watchtower in
any province that he controls. This doesn’t help defend the province, but it does
act as a permanent spy in all the adjacent provinces.

Once you have built Watchtowers in a province you may build a Border Fort,
which acts as a permanent counterspy in the province where it is built. This
stops enemy spies from obtaining any information about the province.
Watchtowers and Border Forts also help improve the loyalty of the local peasants.

Mines and Mine
Complexes

You can build Mines in
provinces with mineral
wealth. There’s nothing
quite as useful as finding
gold or other mineral
riches in your domain! This was what allowed the Takeda clan to be so mild in
their taxes and yet build up a substantial cavalry army.

• Once a mine is constructed, you will gain additional koku income each year.

Sengoku Jidai ‘Age of the Country at War’. (the period from 1457 to

1615). Much of the samurai tradition was established
during this time. Shogun - Total War is set during
this period.

Seppuku A less vulgar term for hara-kiri. Considered an

honorary death by the samurai class. Modified in
later years to allow the presence of a second who cut
off the victims head at the moment of agony.

Shogun Abbreviated form of Sei-I-Tai Shogun (‘barbarian

subduing general’). The hereditary commander of the
Japanese army who, until the revolution of 1867,
exercised absolute rule under the nominal leadership
of the emperor. The rank to which all Daimyo
aspired.

Tameshi Gusoku Bullet tested armour. Sold with dents as proof of its

effectiveness.

Wakizashi Sword 30 to 61cm (1-2ft) long. Worn by both samurai

(with a katana) and ashigaru.

Yari Spears used as defensive weapons. The lengths

varied depending on the individual Daimyo’s
preference but averaged around 5 metres.

Yoroi Of the many armour types, this is the classic samurai

armour which consisted mainly of the do (body
armour), suneate (leg armour), tsurubashiri
(breastplate), eboshi (cap), kabuto (helmet), sode
(shoulder guards) and Hoate (face mask).

85

Katana A long, two-handed, slightly curved sword that was

considered the ‘soul of the samurai’. Often carried
together with the wakizashi, the Katana was used as

No-Dachi A very heavy and long sword which was about 25

percent longer than an average sword.

Okegawa do Simple, mass produced armour worn by the ashigaru.

If this had the Daimyo’s mon on the front it became
known as okashi gusoku (honorable loan armour).

Ronin ‘Wave men’ – samurai without a lord.

service.
