  • That's it? 

  • i hate steam

  • Lol this reminds me of Tieshi Castle that Japanese like total wipe out show on challenge sorry about the miss spelling

  • how can i zoom ????

  • i bought this game for $30 a month ago

  • I literally verbally spoke to my monitor, asking you why you were pronouncing katana like that, then, by some miracle, you answered. My eyes were: *O.o*

  • yah i got all except napoleon and shogun but im getting shogun 2 total war first

  • man i love the view to its epic

  • these shogun 2 vids r alot more shorter than your other ones

  • @XxShawdogxX depends on ebay itas around 30 or 40

  • How many times have I heard you say,

    "Lets have a look at the cinematic view" lol

    I guess you really love that view.... :D

  • @cjytotalwar

    catchphrase

  • Prince of macedon can you challenge me on shogun 2 total war? My name is dulcealergica my charecters name is yoshiyama mutusai. If you want to i am on almost every day around 12:00-4:00

  • how do you fix your camera on soldiers?

  • When I play avatar mode with my friend (who's the same rank as me) we only see rank 10's and 9's. It's very annoying, because we're just rank 3, we just get some ashigarus and like katana samurai. We get XP from the losses too, tough.

  • "LOOK AT THAT SWEETNESS"

    How many times I've heard this from you so far :')

  • If I download the pirate version not buy the original it can I still play it online (avatar)?

  • @exelemento10 you cant play online in a pirate vertion

  • @TheLunaticSoldiers yea yea I know that

  • dude do you have a shogun total war sea battle

  • i notice you dont go for the bonus buildings, why?

  • your opponent was very stupid to take so many bow-kav in a 5k match, its very deadly to have just them as range units

  • Raiden yes!!

  • Prince you deserve a medal for inventing commentary battles. An when you say Raiden, you mean Raiden from Mortal Kombat

  • Man, you owned that poor dude D:

  • 3:15 lol

  • Can you replenish Veteran units? Once you get a veteran unit you will probably have around 25 guys in it or maybe 30. Then, the veterancy almost makes up for the loss of soldiers but not by much...

  • I love shogun 2 total war, everything is beatiful!

  • did u know if u select unit and press insert then its turn to 1st person mode

    like archers when they shoot arrows , then u are in arrow cam mode

    try it

  • There has to be an Avatar Called Toranaga, Shogun was to awesomer a book for there not to be a Toranaga.

    SOMEONE PLEASE HONOUR THE MEMORY OF THAT HERO.!

  • @aaron9099 Or John Blackthorne lmao ;) no but your right dude Toranaga is awesome in that book!

  • @MrVeggie247 ROFL, Blackthrone FTW.

    To the man with the surprisingly large penis lol

  • BEAST MODE INTRO DUDE!!!!! Very cool :)

  • Why don't they use any of the Total War games in the World Cyber Games? Honestly even Shogun 1 is better than a racing game or guitar hero. Why not TW?!?!

    At the very least Medieval 2 or Shogun 2 should get on the list. Nevermind Rome or Napoleon TW. After all, the weakest parts of the TW games are the A.I. (and even then its better than most games), which you don't have to deal with in multi player for the most part.

  • @YinYangTzu Primarily because of the slow response time from units. Watch StarCraft II games and you'll see what I mean.

  • @Merth667 I don't really think that's reasonable. They respond just fine, it's the scale and scope of it. For the TW games the battles are always interesting and I prefer them to RTS games overall where it often comes down to who can maximize their economic advantage as early and often as possible, not necessarily the best tactician. It's more about who has more mechanics second nature. I love SC 2 though too.

  • @Merth667 I realize SC, SC 2 and other RTS games have units that turn on a dime. Even first person shooters have insane movement capabilities for the players as if they were able to run just as fast sideways as forwards. Of course that doesn't fit the TW games, but I don't think it's necessary to have interesting or dynamic battles. I mean, sometimes battles can take a while and I suppose that makes a difference I suppose. But watching a TW battle is sufficiently awesome enough, lol, I think.

  • @Merth667 ty for responding btw : )

  • @YinYangTzu I believe you do have a certain point but hear me out.

    The thing is that Starcraft multiplayer is way more complex. I do not believe you need to train as much to get good at a game like Total War. It is not physically as demanding (Macro/micro), and I wouldn't go as far to say that it is more tactically demanding. The very short response time means that units have really "tight" controls. You can't say controls are tight in a tw game. Even the cavalry takes time to move.

  • @YinYangTzu As such, the skill of really controling your units (if you know what I mean) isn't as viable or maybe even important. If you've seen some of the Brood War pro gaming, you'll see that some of the things they can do with their fingers is wow and there is an "awe" factor present just because of that.

    Maybe you don't think that's important to have interesting battles, but... What's the point otherwise?You like watching 500 guys smacking each other in a monotonous fashion?

  • All in all, Starcraft II was built from ground up as an e-sports and it shows. I can't go into great length as to why in a Youtube comment section but if you have Steam pm me and we can discuss this. Google "Starcraft e-sports" and a nice article on it will pop-up. Regards.

  • @Merth667 I can understand that the visual side of it can perhaps become monotonous. I can also understand the awe factor for which SC pro player mechanics are noted for, ridic amp and such. Because in TW it's easier to master the mechanics, and from then on it's just your sense of tactics and strategy, I'd argue that there is more room for pro players. However, it also would make it more difficult to retain successful players on pro teams who can be easily bested by newer players.

  • @Merth667 I don't have steam, sorry :p. I agree with you that it takes more to master SC 2 than TW games, but I don't know if the mechanical awe factor of pumping out build orders off memory is well rounded enough for me. There definitely is a great achievement in knowing so many diff builds and adapting etc, but for the same reason that it's harder to master, there isn't always necessarily the tactically brilliant player winning but rather the person who has a quicker apm/management micro&macro

  • @Merth667 I guess I can see though that it might not be as entertaining to watch as an e-sport. Particularly in the monotony, but idk, I guess being a mil history buff kind of keeps it exciting for me. I empathize though. Thanks for the response. :D cheers

  • @YinYangTzu The game is just more casual than sommething like starcraft, i think the rout mechanic is not refined enough for it to be reliable, also the unit choice at the beggining of games makes it even more random. Another reason that it isn't considered for things like WCG apart from the fact taht it isn't too popular is because it isn't really that mechanically skilled, there is no space for any real multitasking to occur.

  • wow prince ur amazingly expert :o u must be such a good strategist cuz u use Alexander The Greats tactics :OOOO amazing >:D

  • Do you plan on doing a Siege battle or naval battle?

  • Nice New Intro Prince

  • Great tactics POM

  • 1:23 hey thats how my 3rd horse guard looks :D

    anyway great comentaries keep up the good work

  • hey POM what computer do you have

  • @331462 His specs are on his youtube page.

  • Have you ever tried out the Onna Bushi unit PoM? Just found out about them O.O warrior female samurais! amazing!

  • that position that the enemy was trying to take had a tower, could you put archers in that?

  • Cinematic view is not that good!

  • I LOVE THE INTRO MUSIC! :D

  • Note to self: Never bring an imbalanced army vs. pom. You'll regret it.

  • @PrinceofMacedon So POM what do you think of Avatar mode, is it fun?

  • Why do you keep changing your mon D:

  • half the battle was introducing the armies lol

  • Great game, Prince! Can't wait untill you get bigger armies! :-)

  • Hey Prince, how do you change ur name in ur vids at the loading screen at 0:10 ??

  • @mexin8ive101 You have to change your Steam profile name, no? I tought so :-)

  • Omg good vid as always i love you prince, too bad i can never play this game with my old computer XD

  • Your opponent could have won if he had spearmen.

  • love your videos, keep up the good work

  • I have all exept shogun 1 and medevil 1... just wondering my graphics i can put on high with no lagg but my mouse laggs a crap load any idea how i can fix?

  • SO, i BUILT a new computer. put $1,200 into it got a bomb ass monitor.... just to play total war games. my dad said that if he ever saw me playing a game on it, "he'd make it so that no one could tell that it was once a computer......" fml.....

  • Bow Cavalry aren't too strong in Shogun 2, UNLESS you're fighting a bow specialist (+25 range) who knows how to support his units and properly kite. If you haven't invested in Bow Monks or highly upgraded archers with more range, they'll be positively annoying because you can't return fire--excellent against campers. ;)

  • lol 4 minutes

  • @shabaloo2 That's around the time I usually beat people. I've beaten people in 2-3 minutes before.

  • i like how the horses are diffrent coulors...they seam the same in all the others

  • Hey prince how are you liking this game compared to other total war games or men of war?

  • what type of cpu r u using i like the graphics?

  • @TheSaintsfan16 it's on my profile (my specs)

  • @PrinceofMacedon No it's not, it just lists your memory and graphics card.

  • @PrinceofMacedon can you run napoleon and shogun 2 on ultra smoothly

  • @PrinceofMacedon hey any ideas on how to economicly get a computer mine barley runs medevil 2 and i want no NEED empire total war

  • @bballca03 i just bought a dell xps8300 from dell outlet, i7 2600 (3.4 ghz), radeon hd 5750, 8gb rams for about $700, I have everything on ultra and it totally runs great. This comp would probably be able to run fine on the next couple total war series and definately be able to run The Elder Scroll 5 coming this fall.

  • Hmm got the napolean total war demo I was being tactical but I was to intersted in the melee and gun battles to move them.

  • OMG!! NEW INTRO!!!

  • SHAMFUR DISPRAY!

  • Opps I misspelled Macedon

  • @ prince of Macidon why do you always change your name all the time? and can I play you in a match my steam is roflmao9

  • Damn that was a short battle...

  • omg, prince you are my gamerhero! i cant make a choice. should i get napoleon total war? shogun 2 total war, or rome total war?

  • @zombiemania1 can you get all of them? I collect Total War games personally ;)

  • @PrinceofMacedon princ i got rome gold and grang ages so can you tell me you can play grand ages with my name on it it badass of rome

  • @PrinceofMacedon Why do you have dif name in each video i can't track you on the leaderboard...

  • @zombiemania1 Rome is cheap so buy that one, then also buy Shogun 2 i have all 3 and they are great.

  • @zombiemania1 I believe they have a four pack of Total war games, i look at best buy this weekend and seen it thought i can't remeber off the top of my head whats on it, but i know shogun wouldn't be in it maybe Rome and Napoleon will, but check for it sometime.

  • @zombiemania1 get nepolean total war or rome total war

  • @zombiemania1  omg you left medival 2 out *sad face*

  • @zombiemania1 Depends on how old/new your system is, if you have an older system, get Rome. I have a new system (windows 7x64 with an 8 core i7 proccessor, 4GB ram, and a dedicated gpu (forgot which one). I can't even run Rome because of compatibility issues.

  • @zombiemania1 I finished ocarina of time in 8 hours sooooo...  u wanna blow me now or later?

  • @zombiemania1 Your best bet might be to wait a couple months for the Steam summer sale. If you can stay patient, I'd bet, the Total War games will be on sale again. I have yet to get N:TW and Shogun 2, and I might do it at that time.

  • You should stream prince

  • can u show a naval battle thx :)

  • wow that guy was like destroyed lol

  • Really good u should upload more videos a day I like these strategy games alot do they work on apple laptops

  • Have you ever lost? haha all the videos im seeing is of you winning

  • @iceykid2 wow, really? Look back 2 weeks ago. I lost like 6 battle straight in Men of War.

  • @PrinceofMacedon I think hes talking about shogun 2

  • @PrinceofMacedon what do you use to record fraps?

  • @MrLegendarypedobear yup, Fraps

  • whats the difference between avatar mode and multiplayer like in the other games?

  • Pretty epic intro. Love it more than the previous one ;)

  • ok at first I thought this was a good game but not amazing but now that I have bigger armies and I am getting comfortable it is crazy how much movement and tactics matter.

  • So who's Japan? XD

  • @ReivajTheMercenary *facepalm*

  • @ReivajTheMercenary I don't remember

  • The intro is really cool, love it :)

  • Althought POM is new to this game, but he play like a 10 stars to me.

  • These matches don't last as long as Rome, Empire or Napoleon.

  • @tmaz85 wait till I get bigger armies...it'll be just as long as RTW battles

  • @PrinceofMacedon so do you have to like rank up or something

  • @PrinceofMacedon I notice that you seem to gun for the opponent's/protect your own general a lot more in this game then say napoleon total war where you seem to make a habit of killing him JK I was just wondering if there is a heavier impact on global moral in this game a general is deadified.

  • @rafethearchitect

    If you lose your general, you most certainly lost the match. Everyone would get low morale and break. It's important to pay attention to your avatar and keep him alive.

  • @EgyptPrinceOf If it's an ashigaru army you can say that you've pretty much lost, yes. But with a samurai army, you still have a chance, especially if you've got naginata warrior monks.

  • @tmaz85 Agreed,  I was JUST getting ready to note that these battles seem to be much shorter than Rome or Empire battles. Hmmmmm.....

  • why did they stop city seige battles prince?Did you notice that?

  • @KakashiKyle9 no, I haven't tried to look at the sieges yet

  • @PrinceofMacedon No I mean.You cant have large cities anymore like in rome total war.Actually settlement/city with walls.No forts.You dont lay seige on the ''cities'' anymore.Notice that?

  • @KakashiKyle9 no, I haven't. I don't even play Campaign lol

    But sorry to hear that. I'm sure there's a good reason for it

  • @KakashiKyle9 That's because Japanese warfare was much different to European warfare, they didn't make grand cities like in RTW and MTW, the cities were more like rural towns. Forts on the other hand were mountain or cliff top structures that were meant to have enemies climb the walls and be trapped in a kill box, their just trying to make it historical, there's a difference between Eastern and Western warfare, different types of warfare, different gameplay mechanics

  • @Exodurge I suppose.They stopped doing it in ETW

  • @KakashiKyle9 they stopped with big city battles in ETW bc of the major revolutions in military thinking at that time.

  • @leftknee17 I suppose.

  • @KakashiKyle9 It's because its historically accurate. In feudal Japan there were no walled or heavily defended towns. Castles themselves were compounds with no small community within them. A castle was a castle, with a few variables within each. CA didn't get lazy, they decided to be pretty accurate to the history.

  • @Tripyourift2 Okay okay.I only am a history pro in the western world.I admit I didnt pay much interest in japanse or chinese history.Just Roman, Greek, European in general.Its more interesting to me.

  • @KakashiKyle9 NP, I myself am more specialized in western history as well. However I find the Sengoku Jidai period and the Three kingdoms period in China to be very interesting, theres a lot people miss out on in asian history which is a shame.

  • @PrinceofMacedon Ohhh....well they stopped doing that though..Its kinda a shame.

  • @KakashiKyle9 I don`t know a lot about japanese history, but since sengoku jidai was essentialy a war between clans rather than nations, it`s not like france vs england, the peasants care little what lord do the have to serve, they are all japanese, battles were between feldal lords and their armies, no need to siege a town. Plus their "castle" desing is clearly made to serve has death halls, killing the enemy troops probably was much more important than keeping the fortress.

  • soo short :(

    

  • @AnbuDunadan93 not my fault

  • @ComedyProcedures wait, what? lol

  • that guy does not know how to use bow cav lol

  • I must say Shogun is much more based around morale than any other total war as Ive seen units winning and then randomly break do to morale

  • awesome new intro!

  • Shogun games are so much quicker compared to other total war games

  • awesome vid POM like always greetings from Sweden

  • You should have a seperate intro for NTW, S2TW, and RTW

  • what is avatar mode?

  • These battle are so small and short

  • Good looking game, but for me Total War is all about mass battles and not troops routing the moment you charge them... That's why I love Medieval 2, the fights are longer and you have time to enjoy the battle. :)

  • Moreee!!!! More we say!!! Give us more Shogun! =D

  • prince you rule i av seen most of ur videos on all the total war games and men of war games :}

  • great video again , but the intro is just awesome ! greet from Deutschland

  • @MyFace62 thanks, man, my friend made it ;)

    Greetings from the US =)

  • were the light cav upgraded? I never get mine to last as long fighting a general unit, but I only play on single player

  • the combat is very diferent from other total war games its really cool always love your vids wish my comp would support this game though :p

  • Actually Suprised that you dont have an Youtube Partnership Yet ..

  • @imMizaRiaOFC he unofficially advertises for total war games by doing these vids and stuff and if you saw the unboxing he got ton of stuff from them and in the comments "Heir of Carthage" said he had also

  • @imMizaRiaOFC I do have a Partnership ;)

    (on my other channel)

  • Watching your videos over the years. Have greatly improved the way I play total war. Thank you!

  • Wow, that yari cav charge was devastating.

  • Very good battles for being new. Hail to the prince.

  • You know you can change the color on your veteran units and the general guards?,anyhow sweet fight:)!

  • maybe one day you will fight my army of the third reich in shogun II

  • how do you get the cinematic view in the replays?

  • @pattonsrevolver press N

  • Your vids are the only reason I bought a Total War game. You deserve free games from CA, Im sure you get them more profit than any of there trailers can :-)

  • prince please try out campaign in this game. the campaign is probably the bulk of this game its so fun i'd love to see you play it =) please give it a shot i dont even care if you use cheats or whatever

  • Hi guys i have some shogun videos, so if you want to plaayy with me add me on steam as SeparatorX or EmpireOfCzech

  • Awesome intro prince! :)

  • Prince I wish you had merch! you could sell t-shirts with 'SWEETNESS!!!' written on them with an image of Napoleon dipping his finger into coffee. Thats just an idea

    also 'KA-BOOOOSH' and the all time classic 'Hi guys the POM here and i'm doing a commentary video'

  • Are you ever going to be able to get the more advanced units (monk archers/ warriors) if you use a different avatar every time? (Well maybe not every time).

  • hey price you should start hosting on the battle lists so we can get a chance to play you.
