I INVADED JAPAN AS PORTUGAL IN SHOGUN 2

This is something I never thought I'd see, but am so happy is an actual thing! Portugal as a fully playable faction in Total War Shogun 2, and it feels just awesome. Even though I love Shogun 2's campaign, I always wanted a bit more spice to it since, let's be frank, the factions here can start to feel a bit samey after a few hundred hours in the game. And what's better then, than to introduce an entirely new one, and one that feels and plays so differently?
Portugal is all about fire power, but still, you're not OP unless we're talking on the high seas, because Portugal begins with just one island city, and a tiny army.

It's up to you to take Portugal further, and to deliver Christianity and Western power to the Japans, or at the very least die trying. If you're like me and have been watching Shogun the TV show, and wanted to spice up your campaign a little, then this is the perfect mod for you, and you can find it right here. I hope you enjoyed this review of the Portugal Mod Redux, and thank you so much to the modders:

As a Portuguese, this is a must-play; nothing like historical racism and failed conquering of territories

JUST WHEN I WAS LOOKING FOR SHOGUN 2 MODS

[mrgopnik]

I think that for some realism, there can be different playstyle mechanics for the Portuguese. While they can have the best units in the game (Tercos), they won’t be able to recruit them, making them rely on local subordinate militias and occasional reinforcements from Portugal

My army with 4 soldiers lol! 'Faction leader and 3 pikemen'

[everfree]

This actually sounds interesting, if you decide to make this a series i would certainly watch it.

7:28 i love when saving the game gets lore

[Punggles]

Absolutely amazing looking! The mod makers should add a Blackthorne antagonistic agent that acts against you 😂

[SaxonSpooner]

I play a campaign as Portugal, most fun I have had in Shogun 2 in a longtime, if you love Shogun 2 it is an absolute must.

[Toyamasami]

THIS IS WHAT I NEED TO RETURN TO SHOGUN 2. THANKS FOR TELLING US!!!

[happycompy]

Your editing is getting so good man! This mod seems awesome. I always loved the matchlocks in the base game and felt like they came too late in the campaign, so its awesome to see a matchlock-heavy faction from the get-go.

The best TW news in months!
Shogun 2 was always an objectively well made game but I never really warmed to the Asian setting. This is exactly what I need to rerun that game and play an epic campaign!

[Fionn]

Best mod for shogun 2!! I'm surprised no one has reviewed it sooner! I would highly recommend the Portugal redux mod that compliments the original faction mod for a more refreshed campaign that makes portugal even more of an unstoppable force with matchlock buffs and allowing the pikemen units to form yari wall. The redux also exponentially increases the value of trade nodes, so trading with unreasonable AI is no longer a problem!

4:53 nah bro just called my whole nation bacalhau eaters

Oh hey, my mod. I did the Redux version based on the original to fix several issues with it. Having to fix those issues led me into modding, which led to me making several total overhauls (The Gunpei and Arcturia mods) and many other smaller mods. Some of my favorites are the ones where I ported the units from the other campaigns into each other, so you could use FoTS units in RoTS for example (I really want to see someone try using RoTS in FoTS).

I don't recall if in the uploaded version the change I later made to turn the merchant militia into militia pikemen and the other gun unit into militia matchlocks was implemented or not. I do know part of the reason the gunners are so effective is because I enabled All Ranks Fire, so not just the front rank can shoot. It always bugged the hell out of me that despite having a clear line of sight and historically as many as 4 ranks could fire at once the arbitrary checkbox prevents the 2nd rank from firing (Something mounted gunners don't suffer from, so vanilla mounted gunners can all fire even when dismounted). IIRC the gunners have Kneel Fire, which will reliably allow 3 ranks deep formations to all fire.

In fact european soldiers like Spaniard or portuguese should have a insanely great advantage on hand to hand combat against Samurais and japanese weapons and warfare as shown in Cagayan battle.

[ludvigskalberg]

Lol! I love the "bad dream" part of the video

[KC_]

Will Deus Vult? Find out in the next episode!

[AntonioSilva-upwl]

Merry band of bacalhau eaters XD btw, thanks for supplying that Norwegian codfish!
So glad to see you bringing the Empire back to glory! (tho to be clear, we never had any military goals in Japan)
Always great watching your videos grande Andy!

[darthjarjarjar]

As a Spaniard, I am proud of this campaign...


PD: Arcabuceros (Arquebusiers) which comes from arquebus (The ancestor of the musket)

[Kasgigz]

Arquebusiers can become quite OP especially with master archery resource + hunting lodge. I steamroll everything with a full stack and they are now better than samurais themselves in melee lol
