Just a quick question for those of us who have not played Shogun 2 before:

Which of the 37 Shogun 2's listed on steam is the one we're playing? (just in case I want to buy it!)

You'll want the vanilla Shogun 2.

There are a couple of expansions, Rise of the Samurai which is an add-on and Fall of the Samurai which is a standalone game and not the original.

There is a lot of downloadable content which are not part of the original game and I assume will not be part of any LAN gaming ? The Visceral add-on is cool. For 99p you get to chop peoples arms and heads off and such like!

There is a Gold Edition which is the vanilla Shogun 2 with a sexy box and a few free toys.

I just bought the standard Shogun 2 from Steam (when it was on offer). You will need to link it to a Steam account to make it work though.

Whatever's gone wrong it's not my fault.

Yeah, Toby responded via PM and edited the OP to give the full name of the game.   I managed to pick up a copy of the Total War Shogun 2 'Gold Edition' for £15 which is cheaper than steam offers just the game for.  The Gold Edition came with:

Total War Shogun 2 Gold Edition:
Total War - Shogun 2
Total War - Rise of the Samurai ( new DLC )
Total War - Shogun Fall of the Samurai

Plus all of the below additional content -
Dragon War Battle Pack
Hattori Ninja Clan Pack
Ikko Ikki Warrior Monk Clan Pack
Otomo Gunpowder Clan Pack
Saga Clan Pack
Tsu Clan Pack
Sendai Clan Pack
Saints & Heroes Elite unit Pack
Sengoku Jidai Elite Unit Pack

Didn't seem too bad a deal for £15.

I'm guessing we'll stick with vanilla, to make life easier for everyone - that's what we usually do!

Will Civ 5 be played with any of the expansions?
