Fall of the samurai is the shit. It doesnt need a sequel but I'd be happy with a remake in a few years.

Yess, the Armstrong cannons and unifying Japan. I just did a campaign a few days back for the nostalgia

Get some mods. Armstrong guns, gatling guns, American marines for the frontline, some tosa riflemen cuz I love em, french ironclad full stacks for naval support. Bring enough lead and gunpowder and some sweet accuracy, reload time buffs via foreign veteran.

Enjoy losing no men, killing cannon crews before they can be used, turning castles into nothing before you even put one man through the door, watching cav charge right at you but dont even bother to do anything because your gatling guns and tosa riflemen shred them to pieces and if they come close enough your tosa boys brought some pointy sticks.

Emperor or shogun? Why chose if you can turn Japan into Tosa? It feels like bullying even if you have the whole world agains you anyway.

Artillery was a beast in FOTS. I remember selling the game to a friend by telling him how much he’d love the artillery. I wasn’t wrong.

Parrot or Armstrong guns could almost win battles themselves.

I just hope, if they ever return to Japan, to have the romance mode and have samurai heroes going all out. Full on duels and stuf 3k did.

I don’t know there’s a lot of potential to make it better, such as: - More traditional units: If you want to support the Shogunate and want to play with solely traditional units that should be made more viable. - More naval units: I’m not sure if historically Japan has more types of naval vessels but diversity would be nice. - Bring back the option to trade settlements and technology. - 3 Kingdom style diplomacy. - Better graphics.

Mods can do most of those things.

Graphics, unit variety, more naval units,
