About Total War Saga: FALL OF THE SAMURAI
Set 400 years after the events of Total War: SHOGUN 2, guide ancient Japan into
the modern age, as the arrival of America, Britain and France incites a
ferocious civil war which will decide the future of a nation.
Based on the backdrop of the Boshin War period, the new campaign starts in 1864,
a time of growing resentment against Western colonial power and influence. As
Japan begins to modernise and industrialise, the inevitable social and economic
changes lead to increasingly militant nationalism and antipathy towards the
Shogunate.
Play as a clan supporting the Imperial throne (Choshu, Satsuma, Tosa), or the
last Shogunate (Aizu, Nagaoka, Jozai) in a sandbox campaign map reflecting the
time period of 19th century Japan.
The American, British and French nations play an important part in the story of
the Boshin war, and your relations with these foreign powers will be integral to
unit recruitment and to advancing your technology trees.
ABOUT THE SAGA FACTION PACK
The Modernisers
Centuries of trade with outsiders has given the people of Saga an understanding
of foreign and modern ways, allowing them to adopt new military technology
quickly.
The Saga domain is ruled by Nabeshima Mochizuru, the latest in a line of daimyo
who were given this territory after the Tokugawa won the vicious civil war of
the Sengoku Jidai. The Saga did well by being sensible enough to join the
Tokugawa cause while there was still some doubt over the result. They did not
wait until the Battle of Sekigahara to decide where their true loyalties lay.
The domain includes the port of Nagasaki, a valuable resource for any daimyo. It
is here that Japan has its only official trade with the West, and it is here
that interesting ideas arrive in the country. Perhaps this knowledge of the
harshness of the outside world is what has convinced the Saga to throw their
weight behind the Imperial Court rather than the Shogun.
The Saga clan can rely on a few advantages in the coming struggle: they have
Western connections and trade that is far ahead of any other domain. In turn,
this learning allows them to be artillery experts, and have good shipbuilding
and industrial facilities. The modern world has much to offer to those who would
embrace it. Interestingly, the historical Nabeshima Mochizuru eventually
resigned his position and left Japan to study in England.
ABOUT THE OBAMA FACTION PACK
The Overseers
With long experience of government and administration, the authoritarian people
of Obama are unsurpassed in controlling people and trade.
The Sakai clan, the rulers of Obama, are firm supporters of the Shogunate. The
original Sakai lord of the domain, Sakai Tadakatsu, was one of the roju, or
elders, under Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first Shogun. This was a hugely important
post in the affairs of Japan, and Tadakatsu was correspondingly powerful within
the Shogunate's administration. The Sakai clan could also claim to be related to
the Minamoto clan, and to be cousins of both the Tokugawa and the Matsudaira
clans. They are, then, very well connected. Their domain is worthy of them. The
town of Obama had been a prosperous trading port, but its importance declined as
Japan closed itself off from the outside world. It remained an important link to
Ezo, modern Hokkaido.
Because of their long experience of government and administration, they are
experts at managing the population of their lands. They receive a taxation bonus
and are highly efficient at repression. They also spend money wisely, and they
pay less upkeep for land units. All their garrison troops are also of high
quality.
ABOUT THE TSU FACTION PACK
The Betrayers
Rising from humble roots, the people of Tsu are wise, artful and astute
strategists. Their use of Ninja is unsurpassed on the battlefield and in covert
operations.
The Todo clan, rulers of the Tsu domain, cannot claim a proud samurai lineage
like many of the other great clans of Japan. Their beginnings are actually
rather humble: Todo Takatora was an ashigaru, a peasant footsoldier, during the
great wars of the Sengoku Jidai. So what? So too was the mighty general Toyotomi
Hideyoshi, revered as one of the three great unifiers of Japan! Todo Takatora
was wise enough to side with the Tokugawa clan at Sekigahara, and he was
rewarded with the fief of Tsu, comprising a good part of the provinces of Iga
and Ise.
