Total War: SHOGUN 2

An excellent game that is easily addictive and brings a lot of positive emotions.

I bought this game to conquer feudal Japan. Instead, feudal Japan conquered me. 10/10, would sell my katana collection (that I now own) again.

I really like the game but I have one complaint, the modding experience genuinely sucks. The mod manager barely explains load order, conflicts, dependencies, or why a mod is marked as outdated. You add one or two mods, launch the game through five different menus, select DirectX 11, and then the game immediately closes with no error message. Was it the new mod? The load order? A conflict? An outdated mod? Who knows. Sometimes removing the mods you just added does not even fix it, because the old working load order has somehow broken too. there is no save load order. if you want to save a order take picture or video. trouble shooting? just take note and reopen the game again n again and pray. The game might have a 35-40 mods limit. I cannot confirm but from testing if you pass that limit the game will crash no matter if you use trash or perfect load order. trash load order 39 mod work. perfect load order 41 mod crash
