If you were to add up all of the samurai in Kyushu in 1868, how would that compare to the number killed here? This battle was not just a massacre, it was a depopulation.
At 8:06 " I have walked through The Valley and shadow of death..... I feared no evil... For I was blind to it all... And my mind It comforts me no longer... I stare at The Valley and shadow of death and say" " What have we become....?'
It seemed to be well-played. There were simply too many enemy, and the second general used better landscape for his approach. Even so the defender made the pay dearly for the victory.
This is the type of set piece sure to strain the tactical thinking of any military academy student, as this valley presents the same class of obstacle Artaxerxes II of Media and Persia encountered at Thermopulai where all Greece held him for two days, and on the third Leonidas of Sparta and his 300 hand-picked infantry took 6,000 Persians with themselves in the Spartan suicide mission - a gambit that enabled the Athenians to retreat to Marathon. I'm surprised the two sides didn't contest the high ground flanking the valley to gain position for grenadiers over the bulk of the action.
A Pyrrhic victory, indeed, Generaru Oda. Remember the ending of the Last Samurai? I wished Tom Cruise had died instead of Ken Watanabe. Yes, the actor. Not the character. >:-)
Why didn't the still intact artillery provide support on to the flank after the frontal attack? I feel like the match owuld be much closer if they done more.
Neurofied Yamato stupido generaro. or not very honorubro. They were given orders to stand there and shoot there. They were not given orders to rotate their positions to the left and assist on the flank. They followed their orders and died honorubry.
*Imperial General* Ha! Those idiotic Samurai! Their numbers are no match for the superior technology of our weapons! *LATER* *Random soldier* Sir! Their numbers are too great for our weapons! It isn't even a match! *Imperial General* Shut up and fight! We will prevail no matter what they throw at us! *LATER* *Random soldier* Sir, we can't fight them, they prevail no matter what we throw at them. *Imperial General* You listen here coward! We fight until the last men, you hear me!? *Random soldier* B-b-but sir, our squad is the only one left! *Imperial General* God dammit!!
If it's too hard, then just cheat at the game - that's what I do. Some players simply aren't as skilled at others when it comes to games, especially games like this one; cheating can be the only way for those types of players to find enjoyment in their games. Not like there's anything wrong with it anyway
Why!? It's complicated because of it's amazing gameplay mechanic. This is not a game with a story, it's a game made for it's exciting gameplay. That's the only thing that made this game famous and probably got your attention. You're basically not playing the game by cheating.
Walter Sarkar So because I can't appreciate the game's amazing mechanics and be an amazing, contest winning strategy gamer, I can't play the game? Is that what you're saying there? Because I was I was under the impression that if I'm willing to put hard money toward a game I want, that I could play the way that it suits me. So it suits me that I cheat at the game. So what? That's just how I have fun with it. That's my way of enjoying it. I don't understand why some people make it such a BIG deal that certain people cheat at their games. In my opinion, if somebody is willing to put forth money and time on something that's enjoyable to them, that they shouldn't have to follow a set of strict guidelines as to how to make use the thing that's enjoyable to them; in this case, video games.
Brahim Dahbi No, I didn't say you can't play it. You are NOT playing it. The thing that this game gives you, the aspect of the game that made you pay for it, you're throwing it out the window. Don't cheat, you're missing out, it's a great game specially when you master it's complexity. It gives you an intense moment during battle where you're trying your best to win and where you're actually worrying about the men that are falling.
you needed to pound into the larger masses of infantry when you softened up the front lines. let the Gatling guns clean up but with you focusing on the front units until death the center mass was able to close with full morale on your guns.
hey just a question..is the game actually playable ? I have a lots of guys telling me they experienced crashes after the 4th turn , at the end of turn in general. but that was short after release, i didnt buy it until now and im really interested..
How to increase the troops size of a squad? Last time I played that my squad (riflemen,spearmen etc) only contained 50 troops. Please tell me and thank you.
sherwin baracael Max settings here, read what Shogun 2 suggested PC specs are and then double these to be able to process fights with 20 000+ units. I'd bet 6-8 cores with 2.5 GHz each, 16+ GB RAM and an SSD to minimise swap usage. UA-cam channel authors have beastly machines.
Uli-Elvir Müller Actually I wrong, you can get a foreign unit if you choose to setup a special trade with Britain, France, or US when you build a trade port. Shogun gets France and US, Emperor gets Britain and US. I recommend the US if you want Marines and two nice ironclads, and Britain if you want a single, better ironclad for Royal Marines.
Part 4 of death valley ....the imperials are holding their ground................in the middle of valley....................2 armies rushing them from both ends
Hey have the imperials.........have like the Alamo last stand ....shogun2 style.............but they get over whelmed at the end....epic siege Then death valley part 3 have galic guns................
I think the Samurai won this battle. They could have had a much easier win if they were brave enough to charge with that MASSIVE group in the middle of the valley. Why did the others win?
This games mechanics are pretty misfortunate and could have a tweak or to and if this game was remade who knows how awesome I'd be with cutting edge graphics and programming
very bad use of artillery, bad use of gathlin, too many chivalry company, few infantry. This battle can be win very simply with a better use of your artillery e with some infantries more. You can destroy the entire army in the canyon without 1 kill on your army. The real battle is near the lake on left.
If you were to add up all of the samurai in Kyushu in 1868, how would that compare to the number killed here?
This battle was not just a massacre, it was a depopulation.
At 8:06
" I have walked through The Valley and shadow of death..... I feared no evil... For I was blind to it all... And my mind It comforts me no longer... I stare at The Valley and shadow of death and say"
" What have we become....?'
8:05 "I have no idea what I´m doing"
At 7:25 you see the front line getting killed and think, the cannons are gonna win this then it pans around and you see the rest of the army.
That part at 8:00 was pretty cool because Its one samurai soldier standing against all those bullets flying at him
it was an epic moment maybe he was completely traumatized he was mindlessly standing in the middle of the battlefield
Wow. Its been a long time since you uploaded a massive custom battle in shogun 2. Thanks!
LOL that guy at 8:05 got so traumatized that he just doesn't give a shit anymore.
LOL the lone guy at 8:06
hes like "not giving a fuck"
Then he takes an arrow in the chest lol
well, more like a couple hundred bullets
Where is Tom Cruise? LOL
He's being a boss @ 8:03 ;)
GeneralOda You have to admit, he had some huge fucking balls.
He's not there he was never there
About the 100th time i see that comment. WOW
@@GeneralOdaTom cruise died then
8:06. Last Samurai Guy: Oh fudge, Shits are going to explode toward me now.
8:03 we got a badass here
the imperial army just got cut to shreds at the end :))
nice!! These are my favorite videos of yours :)
thanks! I really enjoyed making this one :)
The 1 guy that was standing still reminded me of the commander from the beginning scene of company of heroes!!!
for reference i meant the guy at 8:03

The sheer amount of Shimazu samurai utterly slaughtered by those gatling guns is unbelievable. So many...
That was definately a pyrric victory for them wow so much green on the ground
that was a battle with aloth of brave man damn that was huge
Target the ground with artillery instead of individual units. More effective barrage that way.
that side attack was amazing o.o
8:06 bravest guy ever
Great video man love watching these
Awesome, more to come then. bwhahaa :)
I'll be waiting
What an epic battle! I really enjoyed watching it :)
thanks, glad you enjoyed! :)
A wave of green washes over a sea of red, but the earth will forever remain red.
A Pyrrhic victory, indeed, Generaru Oda.
Remember the ending of the Last Samurai? I wished Tom Cruise had died instead of Ken Watanabe. Yes, the actor. Not the character. >:-)
tojiroh Actually there are several actors who gets injured or died in Tv/Movies sets. You never know when or how it will happen.
Sadly, the latest Mission: Impossible movie was a wasted opportunity.
+tojiroh He can't die yet, he needs to come out of the closet first.
Why didn't the still intact artillery provide support on to the flank after the frontal attack? I feel like the match owuld be much closer if they done more.
Neurofied Yamato
stupido generaro. or not very honorubro. They were given orders to stand there and shoot there. They were not given orders to rotate their positions to the left and assist on the flank. They followed their orders and died honorubry.
Bogdan Leshenko honorubry*
*Imperial General* Ha! Those idiotic Samurai! Their numbers are no match for the superior technology of our weapons!
*LATER*
*Random soldier* Sir! Their numbers are too great for our weapons! It isn't even a match!
*Imperial General* Shut up and fight! We will prevail no matter what they throw at us!
*LATER*
*Random soldier* Sir, we can't fight them, they prevail no matter what we throw at them.
*Imperial General* You listen here coward! We fight until the last men, you hear me!?
*Random soldier* B-b-but sir, our squad is the only one left!
*Imperial General* God dammit!!
cant find narrow death and the valley of death map! Tell me where to find it, pls.
and what to do
Man, this fucking game. I see shit like this, I try to play myself, can't even pass the tutorials.

Just look like from The Last Samurai..
19:02 Even The Warp Mind Cannot Stand Against It.
Well Done =)
this is epic, it'd be cool if you could take control of a single person and join the fight! i might get this game case of watching this.
"costly enemy victory" :D
This is some Battle of Yonkers shit right here.
you needed to pound into the larger masses of infantry when you softened up the front lines. let the Gatling guns clean up but with you focusing on the front units until death the center mass was able to close with full morale on your guns.
Yeah, I was literally saying, "Focus your fire on the large chunks of enemy troops in the background, not the small little lumps at the front."
As I walk through the shadows of the valley of death lol
What kind of mods are you using???
hey just a question..is the game actually playable ? I have a lots of guys telling me they experienced crashes after the 4th turn , at the end of turn in general. but that was short after release, i didnt buy it until now and im really interested..
How to increase the troops size of a squad? Last time I played that my squad (riflemen,spearmen etc) only contained 50 troops. Please tell me and thank you.
Check the Options menu and look for unit sizes, you can switch between Small to Ultra. Good luck!
Thank you GeneralOda
whats the song you used in the video man? :D
thank you for making this masterpiece .....:)
what map is this? please tell me
Could've swore I heard a Tosa soldier yell fuk yes!
If you have a date bulletproof samurai there , you can keep up to close victory
This was 6 years ago but now days I normally have battles with 8000+ men thanks to mods and good processors
Which map is this?
What is epic battle it was worth the watch and enjoy(:
Awesome battle
is not with me "map download" why?
Soldiers running from the battle field!! *Shameful dispray*
12:17 Why did he run away? STAB in the back!!!
The Last Samurai 2.0 .-.
Are cannons are taking them down then millions of samurai charge oh come on!
HOW TO ADD MAP ?
HOW TO GET THE MAP ? IM NOT USING STEAM . JUST LAN GAME
lack of the survived artillary movement after frontal force was defeated was a big let down. Other than that it's a great battle.
10:23 NA NA NA BOO BO*Gets shot in head*
Charge No Daichi, get the Gatlins down !!! Really awesome ! ^^
some truly brave souls perished that day.
They may be not on earth anymore but they will live in the heavens as great warrior!! ;)
well said! And immortalized in this video documentary ;)
GeneralOda Banzai, i really love to watch your Epic Battles.
thanks, hopefully more to come? :)
8:03...wallpaper tho xD
the lone ranger was probably thinking fuck life
How'd you get bayonnets for your riflemen
Good video though
there is a bayonet mod you can download on the steam workshop. Thanks!
+GeneralOda great work plz do more
8:06 Samurai feared no evil
Whod you think was gonna win? The fucking swords were 10x the size of the cannons! Put at least half of the cannons verse the swords
Just bought Shogun 2 but cant get a refund to get fall of the shogun
Does any1 know how to? i haven't played it yet and i bought through paypal.
Louis Wilson
download it from any open source. if you have a licenced Shogun II - FOTS will work for you
At 8:06 not one fuck was given
What is your pc setup?
And about how much did that cost
what is the graphics settings?
what is the specs of ur pc?
sherwin baracael
Max settings here, read what Shogun 2 suggested PC specs are and then double these to be able to process fights with 20 000+ units.
I'd bet 6-8 cores with 2.5 GHz each, 16+ GB RAM and an SSD to minimise swap usage.
UA-cam channel authors have beastly machines.
because running is too mainstream!
USA and mexico border lol XD
what?
The green is mexico invading. you get it now.
Joseph E Johnston xD
So tru, wait russia crossing americane borders in alaska!
Seth Koch That is an idiotic comment
How?
Are there American troops in this game?
No but the Japanese gots Weapons from USA and Great Britain
so you can see this at the Gettling Gun
Uli-Elvir Müller There are US Marines if you are a certain faction and achieve conditions.
***** Oh Okey sry i dont know this thank you for this information ;)
Uli-Elvir Müller Actually I wrong, you can get a foreign unit if you choose to setup a special trade with Britain, France, or US when you build a trade port. Shogun gets France and US, Emperor gets Britain and US. I recommend the US if you want Marines and two nice ironclads, and Britain if you want a single, better ironclad for Royal Marines.
***** Ah okay but maybe no problem dude ;)
wow machine guns are effective
should of bought your machine guns to the left and kept them out of harms away
Part 4 of death valley ....the imperials are holding their ground................in the middle of valley....................2 armies rushing them from both ends
Hey have the imperials.........have like the Alamo last stand ....shogun2 style.............but they get over whelmed at the end....epic siege
Then death valley part 3 have galic guns................
Fucking subscribed!

8:05 epic
What is this game
Shougun 2 Total war
please make this with only cavalry on your side
i subscribed
That was like 2 big 4 me
I think the Samurai won this battle. They could have had a much easier win if they were brave enough to charge with that MASSIVE group in the middle of the valley. Why did the others win?
why is it every time just fucking sword samurai but not yumi bow samurai in the fucking mountain attack back and the imperial gunner
This games mechanics are pretty misfortunate and could have a tweak or to and if this game was remade who knows how awesome I'd be with cutting edge graphics and programming
Welcome to meat grinder valley xD
that Massive Population loss
Finally :)
zombie in coming . grrr
NB
very bad use of artillery, bad use of gathlin, too many chivalry company, few infantry. This battle can be win very simply with a better use of your artillery e with some infantries more.
