It's almost since this has been well-understood *even in the West* since at least the time of the Roman Empire. :P

If only the sequel had been nearly as good.
At least I got some neat gameplay with Shogun 2. Despite TW: WH being quite good in terms of animations and battle gameplay, the campaign feels a bit stale by now. Not much innovation since the glory days of Rome 1.

TWS2 proved by far the most stable release on my iMac. Also, the easiest. After one or two short games for learning, I played consistently on Legendary difficulty & almost always won.

Indeed, the Ikko-Ikki proved the most (how should I say) communist of the factions & provided a marked contrast to the fascism of my Scipii story.

The Ikko-Ikki are probably my favourite historical faction out of any from all the titles. A welcome breath of fresh air.
