Alright guys, overhaul mods for Shogun 2 are pretty far and few between. You’ve got Darthmod which is good but definitely has some pacing issues on the battle side of things and suffers from unit rebalancing issues. You’ve got Radious, Morning Sun which adds Korea. There are some good mods out there but I’ve recently been getting into an overhaul called Master of Strategy that has really impressed me.

Intuitive reworks to economy, tech & recruitment systems, battle rebalancing that plays really smoothly while still keeping it challenging & realistic. New battle maps new regions new units & best of all a new encyclopaedia system that while in early days will eventually tooltip every new feature and addition in the mod.. There is a lot to explore & enjoy here that elevates Shogun 2 to almost DEI levels of mod glory and in this video we’re going to check it all out. By the end I guarantee you’ll have no choice but to play it yourself!

  • As much as FX's new Shogun TV series is a great reason alone to get back into the game Master of Strategy is seriously a must try mod you need to add to your list next. For me it's essentially the Divide Et Impera of Shogun 2 Total War. I'd love to hear what you think though let me know in the comments section below! And also how awesome is the Shogun TV Show!

    (wood clapper sound) Yooooooo....
  • @Tom-ahawk
    The single best experience I have ever had with a Shogun 2 mod is the one that makes each and every single castle in the game a unique map. Like holy cow, it is so much fun to readjust my strategies for every map. 10/10
  • @xjuliussx
    this mod is epic, this is not for beginners for sure, even a veteran like me had a hard time to understand it but once you master it, the games is fun and streamroll AI if you need too. This mod is the equivalent of what DEI is for Rome2.
  • @TheTerminator if you happen to see this, me and a collaborator are just getting our Shogun 2 Fall of the Samurai mod off the ground. Its definitely unique, if you have any interest. Also look into “The Last Alliance” mod. It’s a Lord of the Rings mod for Shogun 2. It’s pretty impressive.

    We need official CA patch for older games such as Shogun 2 and Empire that scales UI for 4k resolutions (150%-300% UI scale)
  • @cryohellinc
    This mod sounds perfect. Thank you for covering it. Actually, jusy as you mentioned as well I've been watching Shogun tv series as well and wanted to get back into Shogun 2. I think this is a perfect reason. Kudos 👍
  • @nathanclark3785
    Videos just keep looking better and better. Keep it up man you are doing great. Can't wait to check this out!
  • I actually just started playing this last night, before this video came out. This mod is exactly what I've been looking for and Terminator puts it exactly right when he says this is the DEI for Shoggun 2. Really excited to see how this mod progresses.
  • @upnarms2036
    one of my essential S2 mods and yes the Shogun TV series is a must watch. Thank you
  • So glad you gave this some visibility. Been playing this for years and it is so amazing
  • @Internethetzer
    I played an Oda campaign with this mod Ive never had so much fun with Shogun 2 I love the fact that the Samurai units are considerably smaller than the Ashigaru The professional Yari-Ashigaru were the workhorse of my Armies
  • One thing to note is that there's an expanded resource list in the mod, and some technologies and buildings are locked behind such resources. To access the resource and unlock progress, you will either need to have the appropriate region under your control or be trading with someone that does. Sometimes neither of these are possible (more so for some clans), and thus you may find yourself blocked for long stretches or until you take drastic actions like backstab your decades-old ally to get that stone or whatever. Otherwise, this is a fantastic mod and one that I regularly return to, so very pleased to see you have joined the fray.
  • @huitz1348
    U said it was like dei so I was watching intensely. I've always trusted ur reviews mods and I'm going to definitely try this mod since I enjoy the hard life of del.
  • Bro your video journalism and pacing is like Adam Ragusa level. SUBSCRIBED!
  • @TheBranchez
    Amazing video man, like always! Looking forward to every video of yours. This is a very good mod and can't recommend it enough. Would emphasise, like you did, that it can truly be overwhelming in the beginning. It certainly was for me back when I first tried it. Keep up the good work buddy. Edit: I forgot to mention that there is a submod in the MoSS collection so you can use the Stronghold of the Samurai as well!!!!!! It is a must! There are also submods to lower the unrest and increase the replenishment (not sure if they work right now, they didn't before, idk if they updated them since, sorry).
  • @BatedSuperior5
    I've played this mod for hours, can absolutely recommend
  • @ZERO-lz2qu
    Im glad this is getting mentioned for its recognition. Kudos to the modder
  • @IOSALive

  • @amazingle7431
