That is indeed quite peculiar . Have you used the verify game cache utility through steam ? Your map cache might be corrupted . If that doesn ' t work , you may wish to check for updates for and run diagnostics on your gfx card . <| sep |> We don ' t know . Have to wait till tomorrow . In JP they don ' t have those , but hidden in the patch we see extra stuff that don ' t belong . <| sep |> Shogun 2 is a Total War game that I keep coming back to . While Rome 2 and Attila have more varied factions and a larger map , I am in love with the setting of Shogun 2 and the battles between samurai . Fall of the Samurai DLC also has battles using guns and artillery , which is better executed than in Napoleon or Empire Total War IMO .
