It would take the genius of Oda Nobunaga to solve one of the few problems that still dogged the arquebus. As European generals had discovered, the arquebus’ weaknesses as an individual weapon could be papered over by its use as a weapons system, in this case the organised mass firing of the arquebus by Ashigaru battalions. However, when used by the massed ranks of the Ashigaru against other massed formations the qualities of the arquebus shined brightly. Being a smoothbore weapon the arquebus was not effective when used for long range sniping by the Samurai. It was amongst the massed ranks of the Ashigaru, and not the Samurai, that the arquebus became the feared weapon that it was. This meant that several Ashigaru could be trained to use the arquebus in the same time it took one to master the bow. Compared to archery, where many years of training was required, the arquebus required minimal training to use. The developer said earlier this year that it plans to return to historical settings for the franchise for upcoming releases.The rise of the arquebus in Feudal Japan is similar to that which it experienced in Europe. The developers most recent games in the Total War franchise, Total War: Warhammer and Total War: Warhammer 2, were released in 20, respectively. A concentrated Total War game which puts you right in the middle of a really dynamic moment of history, where the outcome could have gone in a huge number of different directions.”Ĭreative Assembly didn’t announce a release date for its first Total War Saga title. It was a standalone spin-off from Total War: Shogun 2, focussed on the pivotal event of the Boshin War. Fall of the Samurai is exactly the kind of thing we’re talking about here. There might be as many playable factions or conquerable territories in them, but that could all be focussed down to one specific region or country and a particular point in time.
“If you’ve enjoyed previous games, you’ll certainly be interested in Total War Saga games,” Lusted said. Game director Jack Lusted said in a Q&A on Creative Assembly’s website that Total War Saga games “won’t be revolutionary new titles or introduce brand-new eras.” And they’ll still focus on real-time strategy battle tactics - this isn’t a return to the hack and slash style of Spartan: Total Warrior. Creative Assembly’s new Saga games will be stand-alone spinoff titles that focus on “exciting pivotal moments in history rather than whole historical eras.” Total War developer Creative Assembly is expanding 17-year-old strategy franchise with “a new class of historical Total War game on PC” called Total War Saga.
