  • In this guide we'll take a look at the first sword unit, the Katana Samurai every clan is able to recruit in Total War: Shogun 2. The premise is that the guide about the Katana Samurai unit will be no more than two minutes long, so you'll be able to brush up your knowledge or learn something new, while you probably should be doing something else.
    This quick guide is for newcomers and returning players alike. If you like the video, be sure to leave a like, subscribe and ring the notification bell to be notified when I release new videos that will help you master Total War: Shogun 2! Subscribe here: / @thevikinggeneral

    how crazy is it that one of the most versatile and useful infantry units in shogun 2 is also one of the least historically accurate?? we love to see it

    • @TheVikingGeneral

      I guess CA has to balance historical accuracy and gameplay and make some concessions.

      @@TheVikingGeneral yeah it's not a critic per se, I just think it's pretty funny that the most prevalent samurai unit in history was probably the yari samurai, which is the least good samurai unit in the game lmao

      @@mkratos17 I really tried to make it work, I really did, but they only work if the enemy's got a lot of yari cavalry and you need faster and cheaper foot units to cover your flanks. it's so situational it's depressing. but katana go brrr I guess

    gotta keep in mind that due to their lower size they have less man replenished per turn so you really need the +5% tech and some road upgrades to be able to actually use them as a frontline unit

    Other early game units are great for fancy tactics and grand strategic plans, this unit is the infantry you send to the dirtiest parts of the battle.

    for me, if i dont have missile superiority i back up so the brige it near max range of my archers, jari wall in front of my archers, iven if i do have missile superiority this works but take care to trap the enemy near the bridge. this also allows cav to be used against melee
