The benchmark game that redefined real time strategy titles. Shogun: Total War is the original epic strategy game of samurai warfare. Japan is being torn apart by rival warlords, each ambitious to be the Shogun, the supreme ruler of Japan and power behind the Emperor. Careful planning, base treachery, cunning strategy, bold tactics and a willingness to ruthlessly destroy your enemies are all needed for success. Also included is Shogun: Total War Mongol Invasion, the exciting expansion pack. Three hundred years before the civil wars in the first game, the Kublai Khan and his Mongol horde attacked Japan. This expansion gives you the chance to conquer Japan as the barbarians, or a chance to stop the Mongols in their tracks in one of the great 'what ifs' of history! The game also includes new historical campaigns, new unit types and even more samurai-inspired mayhem than the original.Note: Online play is no longer available for this title
