"What the fu- One tree, There's one tree here, how did you manage to do that? The first fucking bomb that gets chucked hits the fucking tree! Unbelievable!"
I'm so sorry, Shōgun, that your Emperor had to put you through this. At 25:40, the fire bomb thrower wanted to end your campaign early, like the Donderbuss Cav and Otomo Campaign.
I figure the accuracy penalty on night attacks is probably worth it. They say close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, and guess which side has both!
Man it would be awesome if there was just a montage of all your rocket battles from this series. They were fucking glorious. I find myself sifting through this playlist every now and then trying to find the rocket barrage battles.
So the absolute madman finally decided to... err, was bribed to do a Siege only campaign. Well... my hat goes off to you if you manage to pull this off good sir.
Inspired by your stealth campaign, I decided to try a Kisho NInja-only Hattori playthrough to keep up the challenge beyond the first 10 provinces, and while it is definitely harder than standard (esp with the super slow start), I think you're being too hard on them here. Considering the tiny unit size, it is shocking to me how well they perform vs samurai armies due to the grenades->katana charge ability. They're lightning fast, can climb walls without casualties in the blink of an eye to snipe siege victories, and against their greatest weakness (arrows) they can go invisible. They can go invisible... I don't imagine they will hold up in the late-lategame no matter how much armor I pack on them, but like the Otomo I find it a fun experiment to give all your generals the "Fear"-trait (forgetting the name) and watch in awe how fast you can break a line with a volley or two - though admittedly Portugese rifles do the job better. But hey, that's why God also gave us the super assassins to hit their morale even harder,.
The Imagawa seemed to be bugged into never accepting trade from the Hojo. I was allied with them for 6 years or so and even joined their defensive call to arms, offered them a hostage and about 20k gold, but they didn't want a trade agreement.
At first I was disappointed at normal difficulty but then the siege and first battle happened and I am now wondering how you are going to be able to win this campaign. I mean Ninjas will help as they are decent in melee, but man are they expensive. Without a super good economy you won't be able to support an army. This campaign is going to be tough, good luck!
Handmortars are pretty good in offensive siege haha. unlike fire rockets they have a huge arc and go over the wall, fire rockets are kind of odd with their shot in seiges
That's true, but funny enough despite this being a siege units only challenge I tend not to fight sieges, and I will maintain that during this campaign. That said I've already fought several sieges. :P
They need total war: birth of gunpowder. Starts in year 1000 ad china. Then the mongols spread it to middle East then Europe. it will make medieval 3 fans happy. I want to see Fire Lance's, arrows propelled by gunpowder, hand cannons and fireworks in battle. (It will have a perfect balance of unit variety and old school tactics) btw why bomb throwers are same speed as heavy infantry? I thought they were fast skirmishers similar to javelins In this new total war game, You want to spam heavy infantry? Have a taste of mounted bombs or a flamethrower! You want to spam gunpowder? Counter with long range flight archers? Gunpowder units might get overwhelmed so you still need traditional spearmen..etc. Also your game shows some people could choose to camp from behind but simply that is unrealistic because fire arrows didn't have explosive heads.
also it lets the rear ranks of your ranged units keep firing even when the front rank is in melee... might be very bad or good with firebomb throwers XD
Arrow > Bombs > Guns > Rockets > Ninjas I did this but only on Medium difficulty. It was fun. Lots of explosion ! Hope you too will enjoy this one Donkey !
im enjoying your videos good sir and im learning the tactics since everytime i play very hard or legendary i get crushed.. anyways do you play live thru twitch? would be cool...
My streaming career is an odd one. Few months ago I streamed almost every day, but now my time is more limited I haven't streamed for weeks. There's a link in the description to my Twitch page, I want to stream more again so hopefully I will find the time to do so soon.
I played Tomb Kings on stream, but I'm also starting a H2H with Lionheart on them soon. Not sure what other races I didn't touch besides Skaven, which I won't play because I dislike them.
So no skaven, they're still many left : Dark elf, Clan Anguran, Bretonnia, Wood elf, Vampire and Norsca. Besides, old world and new world both had changes last few months with FLC mortal empire(all map conquest).
I'm trying to find all the cutscenes for Shogun 2, FotS, and RotS. Do you know where and how I can find them? The Total War wiki sucks and gives little information and every UA-camr playing the game just skips the cutscenes and I really want to see some of them. I guess I could buy the game, but I really think you should be able to find videos online.
This is driving me nuts dude, hopefully you can pleeeease answer. I'm playing in a campaign with a friend right now and I'm playing as hojo... You got the units at the very start for the fire bombers. I just get the catapults.. Wtf? Is it a mod or something? Or was this a different version?
How odd. In my campaign, I start with it, but I can only build the catapults... Fresh start and everything. I wonder if it's 'Darth mod' That's doing it...
I knew it he had camera mod, so unrealistic. C: I think this is alot easier than any of the past challenges. :] He can use garrison troops?! No no no no no no no Allowed to use navy as well? I see still doesnt know how to tax really high.
I'm sorry, how does a camera mod make this unrealistic? It allows me to zoom out further, so I can actually see what I'm doing. How is this easier than past challenges, it's probably the hardest I've done. Check the other comments, most people are saying how this is going to stupidly difficult. I can use garrison troops, of course I can use garrison troops, you want me to fail the campaign on turn 2 because I have a single unit to defend with, how fucking stupid are you? I've always allowed myself to use garrison troops in challenge runs as it would basically be impossible not to use them. I'm allowed to use a navy, but I'll likely stick to using only siege naval units.

Oh god is this even possible
TheKastberg1 yes
Shouldn't bomb throwers be light infantry so they are faster and can skirmishers heavy infantry

So the absolute madman finally decided to... err, was bribed to do a Siege only campaign. Well... my hat goes off to you if you manage to pull this off good sir.
respect from 2021! man you're awesome!
Honestly, I've been waiting for you to use armies with firebombs in them, mostly to see how you could make them viable. This is gonna be fun.
8 minutes of nonstop anxiety during the battle, holy shit
mrsmartdonkey's hiroshima and nagasaki simulator
I like doing nasty stuff to fukushima as hojo
Dear God
This video has only convinced me further those fire bomb throwers actively target your general when he’s chasing people
The most appropriate words in response to this video are "good luck"
Oh nice new shogun 2 series. We are in for a treat boys.
This is going to be fun. Thanks for whomever sponsored this one!

WOOOW 1080p60fps!!!!! Love all your shogun 2 Videos mate! keep it up!!!! this shit looks clean!!!
YAAAAAY MORE SHOGUN 2 SO EXCITED FOR MORE
this is going to be so hard early on, i can already imagine army's filled with fire rockets and ninjas, at least cav wont be a problem
The Imagawa seemed to be bugged into never accepting trade from the Hojo. I was allied with them for 6 years or so and even joined their defensive call to arms, offered them a hostage and about 20k gold, but they didn't want a trade agreement.
Oda: "you call throwing dynamite around a martial art?"
Hojo: "Hey as long as it works"
Commence the friendly fire!!
jesus good luck I cant wait to see how you deal with samurai armies with siege units only
VERY EXCITED FOR THIS
What's next? Hattori ninja only?
And it happened.

Yeah, this'll be rough for sure, which is why I'm not going any higher than normal.

MrSmartDonkeyLP sounds fun can't wait to see this series develop

Yeah boy!
Masaka!!! siege only ? no wai
Oh, this will be hard
Your system is OP!!
When I started playing max settings, there was no going back!
The only thing you changed was the ssd to make it run like that?
No, my Motherboard, CPU, and RAM as well. You can see all my specs on the about section of my channel.
Hattori Stealh unit only challenge next?
Ok well if you have the kisho ninja then you can make this work probably
I find putting my horses in guard mode stops them getting stuck on infantry
also it lets the rear ranks of your ranged units keep firing even when the front rank is in melee... might be very bad or good with firebomb throwers XD
To be honest. I thought the Mori were the clan that died the second. I would have never guessed Oda
Doesn't happen very often on Legendary difficulty, but I've heard people say other things about lower difficulties, and I guess here is the proof.
I guess so
Arrow > Bombs > Guns > Rockets > Ninjas
I did this but only on Medium difficulty. It was fun. Lots of explosion !
Hope you too will enjoy this one Donkey !
Medium difficulty doesn't exist.
Maybe he means Normal :)
Hero Only Challenge?
im enjoying your videos good sir and im learning the tactics since everytime i play very hard or legendary i get crushed.. anyways do you play live thru twitch? would be cool...

shogun 2 use approximately 4GB of your ram only
Maybe they designed it in this on purpose
Dis'll be Interesting
Pretty sure they hit the tree like eight times
so you treat siege units only as hardest challenge possible. What if I tell you about yari samurai only?
Already did it. ua-cam.com/play/PL28oZ4FVZmk4XIzM5d-DZQRot-lGp5VgJ.html
@@MrSmartDonkeyLP man why'd you even do this to yourself
Will you try warhammer tomb kings and other untouched races?
I played Tomb Kings on stream, but I'm also starting a H2H with Lionheart on them soon. Not sure what other races I didn't touch besides Skaven, which I won't play because I dislike them.
So no skaven, they're still many left : Dark elf, Clan Anguran, Bretonnia, Wood elf, Vampire and Norsca. Besides, old world and new world both had changes last few months with FLC mortal empire(all map conquest).
Ninja only.
I'm trying to find all the cutscenes for Shogun 2, FotS, and RotS. Do you know where and how I can find them?
The Total War wiki sucks and gives little information and every UA-camr playing the game just skips the cutscenes and I really want to see some of them. I guess I could buy the game, but I really think you should be able to find videos online.
8:13 battle
This is so painful to watch. I know how much you dislike those siege units :D
Mori navy only challenge.
This is driving me nuts dude, hopefully you can pleeeease answer. I'm playing in a campaign with a friend right now and I'm playing as hojo... You got the units at the very start for the fire bombers. I just get the catapults.. Wtf? Is it a mod or something? Or was this a different version?
I'm not sure what you mean, do you mean I started with the Siege Engineer's Workshop? That's standard, I'm not using any mods that affect gameplay.
How odd. In my campaign, I start with it, but I can only build the catapults... Fresh start and everything. I wonder if it's 'Darth mod' That's doing it...
Well yeah, if you're using mods than it's likely that that's causing the issue.
It was indeed the issue :'c
Can you finish the FoTS Clan overviews?
Can I? Yes. Will I? Maybe.
Next thing you know niggas start talking bout how ya go on destroy the world with Kisho Ninjas :T
This'll be fun.
I predict gratuitous explosions.
Omg only siege units😂😂😂😂😂
19:22 Oda destroy first not Tokugawa
Try 17:29 Tokugawa die first.
MrSmartDonkeyLP I didn't see that coming
Battle difficulty is also in normal?
Yes, it's the same as game difficulty in Shogun 2
You can set it higher once you're in the campaign, but I won't. The battles are where I'll struggle the most to be honest.
MrSmartDonkeyLP understandable, specially when I think that you wont be able to auto calc most battles due to low numbers
shit yes
can you do a chalange on fall of the samurai only kachi chalange
You should have gone on easy
WTF... pls don't hurt yourself
日本を破壊しないで．．．
What an original joke dude.
This is japanese, so to be accurate it should ding dong to you
いいえ、日本は火傷なくてはだめだ！

MrSmartDonkeyLP wow, can't take sarcasm?
why not turn christian and have "good" navy at least.
I can take sarcasm if it's obvious. You just sound like an unintelligent troll.
Not sure yet, I might go Christian, haven't decided yet.
MrSmartDonkeyLP I'm sorry, wanted to put (sarcasm) in my comment but that kind of invalidates the joke right?
