However, the proliferation of 3D video cards amongst consumers led to a transition to 3D graphics.
The game was initially conceived as a real-time strategy "B-title" powered by 2D computer graphics following the popularisation of the genre through titles such as Command & Conquer. The turn-based aspect of the game focuses on a map of Japan where military force, religion, diplomacy, espionage and economics all influence the player's actions, whilst battles are fought in a 3D real-time mode.Īnnounced in early 1999, Shogun: Total War was The Creative Assembly's first high business risk product previous products had involved creating video games for the EA Sports brand. Set in Japan during Sengoku jidai-the "Warring States" period from the 15th to the beginning of the 17th century-the game has players adopt the leader of a contemporary Japanese clan, attempt to conquer the nation and claim the position of shōgun. Released in June 2000, the game became the debut title in The Creative Assembly's Total War series.
