Hmmmmmm... well.... I recently bought Shogun 2, and have started a campaign from the Southern Island featured in the tutorial. There's certainly a lot to like here, although I have one or two niggles, like loading time. 4 minutes before your ready to load your saved game? Hmmm... But to gameplay... I struggled to capture the small territory with the stone mine in the North-east part of my small island. I basically needed a bigger and better equipped force (and some tactical skill!) but as it is, I'm not too clear about capturing gates. You can sometimes get a rectangular icon when you try to send your men to a gate which I thought meant capture it but apparently not. Do you just have to scale the walls, and then hold gate's area until it becomes yours? This was what I did, but casualties were heavy and there's a lot of writing to the next of kin that I would sooner have avoided. I'm a little unsure of the game, its clearly very good and ambitious, I'll have to see, its still early days.
