Total War: Shogun 2 – ‘Fall of the Samurai’ revealed

SEGA has announced that a new stand alone expansion 'Fall of the Samurai' for Total War: Shogun 2 will be available from March 2012.

The massive standalone expansion includes six new playable clans, a new expanded and improved campaign map which covers new island provinces in the far north and features all-new building and technology trees as well as brand new features such as railways and naval bombardments.

As well as the upgrades to the campaign map, brand new units and abilities are also added to Total War: Shogun 2’s epic battles. On Land, thirty nine new units are introduced including Gatling guns, US Marines and British Royal Marines. War at sea also changes, with ten new ship types including massive, artillery-bearing steamers, torpedo boats and mighty Ironclad battleships, allowing you to call naval artillery strikes directly into land battles. Coastal batteries can also attack your shipping, so watch out for well-defended ports.
