One question - in FLT folder on DVD2 there are "update_common" and "update_en"
Are they basically update 1 and 2 ?

You're both wrong. You can play Hattori if you buy the Limited Edition.

If you're asking this you probably don't need to play it.

I got it for free for ordering an i5 2500k processor off of Newegg. Going to install it tonight. I played the demo and was glad to get the full game for free. Seems really cool and anything with Steam Cloud is aces in my book. I wish every game had the equivalent of Steam Cloud. After having my hard drive completely die recently, I can appreciate having my save games and such stored in a could environment.

Your save games are not saved in the cloud.
If your HDD dies again in the middle of a Campagin game well, that progress is gone.

Iy would be a blast to control modern weaponry and infantry , call for airstrikes , develop new technologies , use WMDs , having to deal with the UN ect  | The problem with TW going modern is that the transition would pretty much kill the essence of the series, namely the huge-ass armies clashing and the chaos of...well...Total War.
The era of line infantry is pretty much the last time that still fits into the general idea of the series. After that, warfare moved to smaller groups of soldiers not moving in tightly packed lines, instead they are organized into small squads that act in concert with other units.
There are tonns of games out there that made a good job of representing today's military operations (World in Conflict comes to mind). But there are very few that can say the same for the good old hacky-slashy human-wave type warfare. And the TW series is the best there is.
I say: stay the hell away from modern warfare. There are still areas unexplored (Egypt, completely crusades-based games, etc).
What I can see as a next step in the evolution of the series is a all-incluseive package. Start out in the Roman era, move up to Medieval, all the way up to Napoleon.

for the first 30 turns you're using nothing but 3-4 unit types plus your general, not only that, but there is no balance in the game. Archers are horrible and cost the same as pikemen while being far more useless in the battle field, an army of 10 pikemen will beat an army of 10 archers or a mixed-arms army of archers and pikemen any time. so you're reduced to just using your general + samurai+pikeman.
The AI, as is always the case in a CA game, is absent and completely hopeless. Oh well, back to Samurai Warriors. I guess this is why I always give up hope on PC gaming, balance, game play and enjoyment always give way to pointless complexity |
Archers are lethal, just learn how to upgrade and use them right.

Not only are they lethal, but the AI knows how to target pretty good with them. I left my general behind the front lines but close enough to inspire my units, and the AI archers all targeted and killed him in a matter of seconds because he was a sitting duck. It pissed me off but also impressed me.

For me the next would be fall of Rome/ early medieval - the pitch black hages, or the renassaince / exploration era
Dont think we will see anything more modern than Napoleon.

I am going to give the troll the benefit of the doubt and that he did NOT mean Dynasty Warriors in the arcade hack and slash versions most people know about. But rather was referring to the strategic Romancing the 3 Kingdoms games instead of which the Dynasty Warrior games take place in the same 'era' for lack of a better term. Though those games were more similar to overhead strategic turn based war games, rather than a real time tactical strategy game. So it's not clear what CA can 'learn' from these games, other than making the strategy map more engaging perhaps. The overall army and kingdom management required in those older games is quite difficult, though I do think CA does a good job of balancing the two 'game types' in Shogun 2.

Was it this thread where someone was talking about using mangonels produced in a province with a Hunting Ground and other bonuses in non-siege armies? Paired with lots of bowmen they work pretty nicely against largely Ashigaru armies.

On a side note, do you think there would be any non-Steam rip version available? Mostly because I have a lot of games on Steam legitimately, so I'm always very wary of going with these Steam rips on the remote chance it would impact my legitimate account.
