Samurais rise in latest Total War: Shogun 2 trailer
Sega was kind enough to share with us their latest trailer for Rise of The Samurai (not to be confused with Sega's Rise of Nightmares), the upcoming expansion for Total War: Shogun 2. This brand new campaign, set 400 years prior to the events depicted in Shougun 2, brings a bundle of new additions and finally adds the fabled samurai class. Did you know?

Still, expansion looks sweet. Might be buying this sooooon. Hmm, weird. Actually the name of the unit is "Foot Samurai". And there's supposedly 15 other new lands units. new naval units and hero units. as well as obviously new families (4 of them, i believe). @RocketKnight Ya, I'm confused too. What the hell does he mean adding the fabled samurai? If I remember this puts the timeline a little further back during the constant warfare.
