Well there isn't much music surviving from the noshing war I personally know 2 one from each side Noe bushi from the bakufu army and Tony are bushi from the imperial army
Ah yes. Winter, 1868. The daimyo and his army are off conquering a far off province, and the enemy has landed in full force on the homefront. Two divisions of line infantry and two peasant levies against a full stack. They lasted the entire winter and routed the enemy long enough for the cavalry to arrive and finish off the enemy armies c: The two surviving levies were never disbanded and they stayed in my home province as my honor guard the entire game.
@@Danymok shouri says decisive victory and matsuri says heroic victory. Matsuri is the sound of your enemy utterly astounded that you crushed him with so few men and brilliant tactics.
I remembered when I was playing as the Tosa one time. As I was about to attack a Shogunate army my general betrayed me and I ended up getting outnumbered almost 3 to 1. Luckily I still had 4 fully upgraded Armstrong Guns and a fleet of ships nearby. As the battle was commencing I imagined myself as the commander, sitting on a horse on a hilltop, overlooking the battlefield, thinking to myself “This treachery shall not go unpunished“. As the betraying general got into range of my cannons, I ordered all of them to shoot at the general and he was immediately blown to smithereens. The rest of his army was also later naval bombarded and blown away. In the end I won a heroic victory with minimal losses.
This reminds me of a Co-op campaign that i had with a friend (fall of the samurai) i was playing satsuma and he was playing chosu, and i was getting hit really hard since we decided to be independent nations all of japan was attacking mostly me, at this point of the campaign im broke and i only have a general, 2 black bear infantry and 2 republican infantry, i was about to be overrun by 6 armies all line infantry and cavalry, we decided to fight since we were about to lose the campaign, so during the battle my friend brought about 3 parrot guns and some like infantry so i used him as bait as I literally walked my 4 units through a Very thin tree line, i got myself in firing range without being detected, as soon as my friend opened fire with his cannons, i activated suppressive fire, i wiped out at least 3 out of the 6 armies just holding a line while my friend bombarded them and chased them with cavalry, needless to say we had a heroic victory, that was the turning point of the war, i didnt get attacked with armies I couldn’t beat myself after that
I find using instruments from the culture of the time can really help make the music sound good. I've had enough of drums and horns for a life time ya know
@@antediluvianarchive7958 The composer is the biggest difference. Jeff Van Dyck composed the music for Rome: Total War, Medieval 2, and Shogun 2 and it shows. These games have the most timeless soundtracks in the series' history. The guy that composed the later games, Richard Beddow, isn't a bad composer, but Jeff Van Dyck is like John Williams in that his tracks are memorable and able to be hummed even years after playing the game. Someone like Hans Zimmer is a great movie composer for something like the Dark Knight trilogy, but you can't really hum along to those sound tracks like the John Williams main themes from Jaws, Star Wars, Jurassic Park or Indiana Jones theme. Richard Beddow is like Hans Zimmer, he makes some good pieces but they aren't ear worms like Jeff Van Dyck or John Williams.
It was where I have a spear levy and he acted as a stand in general. I had a massive shoganate force at my door step and a bunch of mixed units. They were all out numbered by the late game shogunate forces that were all nearly mordern. Led by an officer and all hope looks lost. But it was a game of time and patience. I manged to hold off the game till the timer expired. But intended up bringing a whole lot down. Ended up with a heroic victory and got that spear levy captain that promotion to general. He now sits with his former unit at the place he defended, and he even got to keep his hat. His pointy infantry hat.
There is something so exhuberant about this song. Like, it really communicates the feeling of overwhelming joy that must come from having survived a difficult and victorious battle.
Still pisses me off a bit how fots uses an american voice as the announcer “You’re men are running sir!” Doesn’t hit the same as “Your men are running my lord! shamefur disrpray!”
Man this feels good to hear after gambling a whole assault on two cavalry units to destroy cannon units and the hope you can surprise the gun infantry units forming rank with a wall of spears running at them
I once defended a Kyoto with an army of 2 us marinas 2 muscats 4 bow units 5 Spears and one katan I fought for one hour and managed to barely scrape victory
This reminds me of when I was playing as the Nagaoka. I had, I think, one US Marines & one or two line infantry. They took on a huge samurai rebellion with no casualties.
It sounds like a festival. The first time I heard it, after Toba-Fushimi, I'd won a decisive victory with minimal loss of life on my side, which was the important accomplishment to me. I'd like to imagine this song was playing in the town square that very evening while my troops got blitzed on grain alcohol, danced, and made merry.
the sound of you just sitting on the top of a hill with 2 gatling, 4 armstrong and a few elite gunmen while the enemy wastes full stacks of kachi against a sea of bullets
The few remaining hits consisting of some Black bear infantry, bird force, and only 6 of your original 24 General’s bodyguard against all of your opponents force and still managing to win
Decisive victory after massacred the whole shogunate army, image the katana and yari infantry charging an elite imperial guard unit, they were cut down where they stood!
this easily beats the horrendous soundtrack of Rome 2, don't believe me? ask yourself this "what's easier to hum / remember, this? or Rome 2's "soundtrack""
milskong shogun 2 is my favourite soundtrack, true I may have been a bit harsh but I can only hum about on average 4 of the 5-trillion notes amongst Rome 2's pieces, quite a difference from here really.
Maybe they got Van Dyke back or the guy who composed music for 300, it would have been better. For now, I'm playing the 300 ost over the music in RTW2.
It’s satisfying hearing this in the first place, but even more satisfying *If you went full “BANZAI!!” mode with a traditional army full of samurai against a big giant ugly line of “soldiers” given guns*
Never played this game ever, i am familiar with the Rome Total war classic saga, but i have seen some gameplay about Shogun Total War 2. Wishing to purchase this game as soon as possible as a big fan of feudal Japan, samurais, ninjas, the Date Clan and the Christian Japanese Clan of Otomo!
by the 1860s Percussion (or Caplock mechanism, they're the same thing) would be more prevalent in the military, however by the late 60s breech loading rifles made the percussion rifles obsolete, but it is possible that the military still used it since it's a logistical nightmare to refit every soldier with new tech every time it's introduced. To put it shortly, Capslock or percussion cap rifles.
Honestly once I get Breach Loading Rifles in Fall of the Samurai it is just over for my foes, I bring the might of industry to bear on them, the very heavens are brought down on their heads by the crack of the rifles and thunder of the cannons.
Completely outnumbered with only a few units of line infantry and a bunch of peasant levies, no artillery, no cav. Retreat the whole “army” if you can call it that across a river behind me, hold the shallow part of the river as a choke point and line the rest of the army along the river bed near where the enemy has to approach from. They fall for the trap, try a desperate cavalry charge across the river bed but get slowed and the line infantry opens up on them before any of them even get across the river. Meanwhile my boys on the river bank are pouring it on em as they try to approach the choke point. By the end of the battle the enemy bodies are stacked up on the river choke point or are littering the tree line on the approach. Heroic victory. Perfection. It’s the closest I’ve ever felt to Napoleon in any total war game lol.
AI army outmaneuvered my main force which is going to conquer their province and attacks my trading port with a 2-1 advantage against levy infantry and spear levy. The levy fire off volleys and then retreat when the enemy climbs the walls. Spears move in to engage at a right angle while the retreating levies form up in a long firing line on the other side of the fort to support them. It looks dicey as the spear levy struggles to hold against multiple spear kachis and being flanked, but the volleys of levy gunfire turn the tide and the invaders run. Still a great game all these years later.
Well Sir, there are two things wrong with your statement. First, the matchlock was the predecessor of the Flintlock, which was introduced nearly 100 years after the events of Shogun 2, and ''teppo'' is the Japanese term for firearms, not the gunpowder they used.
Such happy music after slaughtering 2,000 soldiers with Gatlin guns.
Well there isn't much music surviving from the noshing war
I personally know 2 one from each side
Noe bushi from the bakufu army and Tony are bushi from the imperial army

Nothing says Decisive victory better than Matsuri
me after leveling an entire castle with only 2 garrison units in it
I think Shouri does a better job of that.
@@Danymok I'm sorry I couldn't hear the music properly over the deafening sound of my artillery

Out in 2010 and I'm STILL playing it daily. The last real Total War game, in my opinion.

Bought it a couple of months ago and I’ve already put in 100 hours. Fall of the Samurai is fucking amazing
