5:47 "During the siege of Hizen, Kleaper left my men and I hopelessly outnumbered. Promises of reinforcements were made... Made, but not kept. He is not to be trusted Dimitri."
You forgot to add that like in this video, moderate improvements implemented to THAT number of soldiers make insane difference. Thats why you shouldnt confuse Planetary Defence Forces (cannon fodder) with Imperial Guard (cannon fodder with +45 accuracy out of 10 and even some actual armor). One of the reason why they use lasguns, not bullet weapon - not only not shipping bullets ease logistical nightmare that existence of Astra Militarum is, but 10 000 people shooting one heavily armored target with lasguns can actually destroy it just by overheat. That trick is not work with bullets, no amount of bullets can penetrate bulletproof armor of tank or fancy chaos spacemarine champion.
Daimyo we have had a general come from the future! They say they have a full proof military tactic that will allow you to unite Japan! Its apparently called * CHECKS SCROLL * Zerg Rush?
If anyone is in the south of England, I recommend taking a trip to the historic dockyard at Portsmouth to see (and walk around on) the real HMS Warrior. Quite the ship!
@@trihexa3024 That's not the only thing; During the 200 years of peace that Japan had experienced during the Edo-period, the standing armies had disappeared and consequently practically nobody had any soldiers. The samurai had as well transferred from a warrior class to a managerial class, as there was very little use for warriors. Daimyos had small, personal retinues, but all actual armies that were actually gathered consisted overwhelmingly of pressed levies with almost no experience, training or formal leadership at all.
@@Teknokraattioh the Bonshin War's armies were such a mess. There were feudal samurai levies, random conscripted or recruited peasants, political partisans and modern line infantry all jostling for physical position when on the march and in battle based on conflicting class position, samurai ranking and modern reformist ideas. The closest we might get is like Mount and Blade with a warband of mixed farmers, warlord cavalry, assassin snipers, riflemen and local swordsmen all in one line
As someone who has beaten Shogun 2: FotS Legendary, the biggest pain in the ass is having to fight pretty much every naval battle for the entire campaign and the AI just cheats to spawn dozens of ships per faction.
Iron-plated ships and still having to battle wooden motherfuckers numbering in the dozens is a pain in the ass, mot to mention Sado's dumb tactic of naval invasion appearing out of nowhere and Matsumae's near-infinite wooden ship fleet also Aizu's shitfest armies numbering in the thousands. Legendary can be fun *COUGH COUGH* UNITED STATES MARINES AND A FUCKTON OF ARTILLERY ARMY BE LIKE *COUGH COUGH* but holy shit, it can be a slogfest late game.
@@VictorrineAurum yep, got curious to try this strategy (as a Shogunate faction) and I'm already remembering why I fucking hated Shogun 2 legendary runs. Early game money issues, Imperial armies running with SIX YARI KATCHI AND THREE YARI KI (plus general and a few levy inf/matchlock) by turn 10, etc. Also, when Grim was talking about the tax-public order reset, I was thinking to myself that I remember that actually causes more problems because it cuts into your town tax over time as people move away from the crushing taxes. I don't remember if the math actually ends up working out for the better on that deal but if your run gets stalled (which it easily can in my experience) you get screwed.
@@DatCameraMON The town wealth is not all that important in FOTS. Town wealth can't go negative and building and resource wealth get counted separately and are not affected by things that affect town wealth. Unlike in S2TW main campaign, the eco buildings are very strong in FOTS and can carry your economy quite happily with the tax exploit.
@@DatCameraMONI tried it immediately after watching this video. Let's just say I was able to basically pay my way to any diplomatic agreement I wanted by just sliding a bag of half a million gold in their direction. Honour is good and all but it seems all these honourable daimyo immediately cave to enough money.
"Even if the walls of Edo are breached, it would take a number beyond counting, thousands, to storm the keep!" "Tens of thousands!" "But my lord Kleaper, there is no such force!" * *intense sounds of Japanese farmers chanting for blood* *
Spear levies are actually pretty powerful as long as you don't modernize too much. At the lowest level of modernization they start out with enough experience to allow them to tear an enemy line apart if they're screened with normal levy infantry to let them survive to make contact. They can just snowball from there.
So I keep getting comments about the whole tax thing at around 14:40 *puts on accountant glasses* There exists something called a "Crossover point". That is, the point at which low/normal taxes overtakes very high taxes in income gain. EVENTUALLY this does occur, but even later is the point at which low taxes generate the same total wealth as high taxes. So if the crossover point is turn 30, it still takes another 30 turns for the low tax rate to generate the same TOTAL amount of money. Now this is all great and cool, so you might say, "BUT MISTER GRIM KEPLER, A TURN 30 OR 60 CROSSOVER POINT ISN'T THAT LONG AKSHUSKLLLY". Here's the problem. *This doesn't take into account the opportunity cost of having low vs high taxes.* Lower taxes = slower money gain = less armies, cities, and buildings earlier Higher taxes = more money faster = more armies, cities, and buildings faster This is a financial concept sometimes referred to as "The Time Value of Money" or "The Cost of Capital". Money now, is always more valuable than money later, because you can invest that money now into armies, cities, and buildings faster. By getting the money sooner, you can invest the money sooner, thus allowing you to procure EVEN MORE MONEY sooner as well. More armies, cities, and buildings faster = more money faster = more armies, cities... While in the long term a growth based income overtakes a non-growth one at SOME POINT, it's just too late to make a difference in Shogun 2 FOTS, ESPECIALLY when I'm playing a run that uses levies. The longer the game goes on, the more I get outscaled by better tech units, meaning I want to end the game faster. And the best way to end the game faster... IS TO MAKE EVEN MORE MONEY FASTER tldr: i shat myself and am covered in poo. AITA?
Some people don’t understand the concept of a “wartime” economy. Something about forever wars jacking up our taxes and- oh shit I think I hear a Mossad agent at my door.
As someone who loves math, this was very eye opening, I never thought about the whole "time value of money" thing at all, even tho it makes a lot of sense. Are you of an accounting-engineering background? Also the explanation was amazingly simple yet concise. No, you are NTA.
@@ahmadtarek7763 Thanks for the kind words, and my education is in accounting. Although more helpful is the combination of RUclips self-employment and accounting , since I have to use the concepts a lot in every day tax stuff ( USA USA USA )
On a real note tho, enlisted is so much fun with the volume all the way up. Sound design is so good it feels like you're really in a war. I went to bed after playing for 6 hours straight and I dreamt of the sounds of a bomber plane
I mean, that is how it went. As soon as guns were around, the samurai used them. They were mostly archer cavalry and spearfighters, with swords being the weapon once the lines clash. Basically like every pre-firearms army, bows and spears are what makes an army.
Dear god I hope The Spiffing Brit sees all the British parts of this video and you Grim Kleaper: never change, keep on introducing to more "humane" methods of fun
Well if only Geneva conventions existed back then, they would have called him a war criminal. Good thing it didn't. Also its damn impressive to see him conquer the whole map with just farmers and by exploiting taxes
Something silly I found out ages ago, in the main campaign if you play as the Otomo clan you start with master gunners, boosted religious conversion, and most importantly, Christianity. Since no one else is christian, you can use your priests to inspire christian rebels in _anyone's_ land, enemy or ally. Christian rebellions *immediately* take over the land, have awful garrison units, and no allies. So you can immediately curb stomp your own rebellion to conquer land without declaring war.
I really enjoyed this video! People often say Shogun 2 is where Total war peaked as a franchise and exxcluding the warhammer games, I'm not inclined to disagree. Hopefully you'll do more historic total war videos in the future
I loved this video! I really hope you decide to make more content on this game, I might even consider buying it myself but I would love to see what more silly challenges you can think of! Keep up the work! Love your videos ❤️

Mate the Shogun 2 is the GOAT of The Total War Series, hope to see more of it. Also check out Attila for the horde ride and raiding across the hole map
The reason your allies want an alliance is because you cost them hundreds of men to take Setsuma, but you TOOK SETSUMA. Their original plan was to lose several hundred men to take Setsuma and then FAIL to take Setsuma, so they definitely consider that your win.
This one time when I was playing laser tag, I was put on a team of prepubescent children when the other team was made up of people around my age group, and most of them were varsity athletes. The only saving grace is that my team outnumbered the other team by almost 2:1 and even the youngest of the children were smart enough to point the gun in the right direction, mostly. I ended up smoking the ever-loving shit out of the enemy team by having double the points of anyone else due to my teammates stunlocking literally all of the enemy team most of the time while I achieved all the objectives. Quantity truly has a quality all its own.
Congrates on doing one of the hardest challenges in Shogun, but you made it harder than it really is because see if you don't have more soldiers than the entire population of japan the challenge gets a whole lot harder
Glad others are still playing this game. I remember when it came out and was a game we used to benchmark our new PC builds. Good times. I am currently playing as the lowest blue imperial province under Nagasaki and I claimed the empire for myself and made it into a republic and I'm using any units I can to hold on for dear life to build that darn railroad.

I know that this probably won't come in handy, but if you have like 6 of the cheapest boats in each of your ports you can actually auto complete and capture most ships attacking if they have fewer ships than you. Saving you a lot on buying and building ship.
My dad has played this game for over 3000 hours and I know for a fact he’s never once tried a challenge run or did some stupid strategy like this. I love the video
Quite a late reply but: Because it was a symbol of many different meanings and cultures before WW2. For Japan it was of Buddhist meaning. I think to mark temples or something. Granted the game is set in 1862
It was first used in sanatani dharm.... Then many adopted..... Hitler reversed it and mad it as Nazi symbol... Basically swastik is good reverse it it becomes nazi symbol
The symbol is a sign of good luck on whatever is put on it, as per the religion. ninja stars were sometimes made in that design to give literal good luck to the weapon itself.

Ngl it's nice seeing kleaper playing a old total war game (the good total war games)
I have been dreaming of the day when you make a shogun 2 video Best game in the whole franchise
The fountains of blood spurting everywhere really gives this a strange vibe
7:03 LIVE FOR THE SWARM!!!!!!
The swarm counquers all!!!!!
The Grimm Kleaper uses soviet tactics in Japan the video
finally, the best total war on your chanell
The kleaper is one video closer to a permeant vacation to Guantanamo bay
"THE GREAT THEFT"
Back at it again. My boi, the war crime connoisseur.
Maurice Pitkethly really was the brake out star from this video the british bruiser in his iron cruiser
The British viewers watching the British showing up getting all giddy and excited.
Thoroughly enjoyed that, fella. Cheers.
Love your content dude , I've already most of your videos , LOVE the TW content , and your humor in general 🫶🏽
Can't wait to see more !
You've got something special here, I wish you nothing but the best my dude!
This was pretty much exactly my Satsuma playthrough but with Line Infantry lmao, I just can't resist kneel fire and suppression fire.
I know that this probably won't come in handy, but if you have like 6 of the cheapest boats in each of your ports you can actually auto complete and capture most ships attacking if they have fewer ships than you. Saving you a lot on buying and building ship.
I wish there was like an endgame in shogun where you can get invaded by the British or someone.
Solid video.
You are doing some special things with the pronunciation of some words, though, like Geisha.
22:20 “Quantity has a quality all its own.”
My dad has played this game for over 3000 hours and I know for a fact he’s never once tried a challenge run or did some stupid strategy like this.
I love the video
The trap card B R I T I S H 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Got me dead
Gotta respect a man that also loves Starcraft, have my subscription and run with it kind sir
Great to see I'm not alone in discovering the 2 turn cycle of: turn 1 - full taxation, turn 2 - max taxation to get red provinces into orange
Makes you wonder what strange magic these "black smiths" were doing to make musket weilding farmers accurate.
Realm Divide, the "Our Province Bombarded" stage of the game
Damn this brings back a lot of memories. Thank you Grim Kleaper, I’ll be thinking of you in therapy.
There is one word and only word that will perfectly describe this video. “Boom”
“I see your honor and raise you gun!”
Always love your videos you make games look way more fun.
4:23 WHY THE SWASTIKA?
Quite a late reply but: Because it was a symbol of many different meanings and cultures before WW2. For Japan it was of Buddhist meaning. I think to mark temples or something. Granted the game is set in 1862
It's a Buddhist symbol
It was first used in sanatani dharm.... Then many adopted..... Hitler reversed it and mad it as Nazi symbol... Basically swastik is good reverse it it becomes nazi symbol
The symbol is a sign of good luck on whatever is put on it, as per the religion. ninja stars were sometimes made in that design to give literal good luck to the weapon itself.
