[edit] Strategy Guide

This isn't an encylopedia article; it's a strategy guide. The article should, at most, discuss the core gameplay and the differences between the various clans. The unit types section shouldn't exist at all. 72.200.139.248 17:13, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Who are you?

If there is an explanation on the different factions, then why shouldn't there be an explanation on different units? Knowing the units is part of the strategy guide, and this is an encyclopedia site. The other Total War articles have explanations on different units.

I believe you're a player of other Total War series, and you're trying to turn people to the games that you play. For your information, the Shogun Total War players (who I know in multi-player) play the other series too.

[edit] External links

I changed link to Official Site because it was giving Not Found. 86.142.149.50 14:58, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

This should be short and simple, but some people like to make a big fuss about it, so here it is: please see WP:NOT and WP:VG/GL. In particular, the article contains a massive list of units - information which is not relevant to casual readers and belongs more in a game guide. I will be removing the entire list based on consensus from the WP:VG community regarding extensive lists of units, cars, weapons, tracks, maps, etc.

If there is any need to add a section on units, please limit it to what is notable and verifiable rather than using original research to describe individual unit functions. --Scottie_theNerd 04:31, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

I've restored an older version of that section, which just briefly mentions which units are in the original and the expansion pack. Marasmusine 07:11, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
That looks much more readable. Thank you. --Scottie_theNerd 08:02, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Development

Shogun's development is an interesting story. Does anyone have an opinion on adding a section about it to the article? --Tom Edwards 16:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
