The Chosokabe Clan of Shogun 2: Total War

The Chosokabe clan claim descent from the Chinese Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Despite their long
history, the Chosokabe clan has had mixed fortunes, and has been under the protection of the
Ichijo, who helped them to recapture their castle at Oko.

The Date Clan of Shogun 2: Total War

Date warriors have fierce and unforgiving natures. Their foes learn this on the battlefield,
shortly before they die. All Date units have a charge bonus, and their fearsome no-dachi samurai,
with two-handed swords, are cheap to recruit and maintain. The Date can also recruit superior
no-dachi units as well: attack is a Date watchword! Seen from their home province of Iwate,
there are many rivals worth attacking.

The Hattori Clan of Shogun 2: Total War

The Hattori are the leading family in Iga, a mountainous province, and the home of the
independent Iga Sokoku Ikki, a kind of proto-republic which denied the power of the Kamakura
shogunate's feudal lords. The people of Iga developed a school of martial arts, the Iga-ryu
ninjutsu, which combined martial arts, assassination techniques and unconventional warfare
tactics. They used their ninjutsu to keep their independence, and then to make themselves
wealthy as swords-for-hire.

The Hojo Clan of Shogun 2: Total War

The Hojo are greater builders than any other clan. Any castle costs are reduced for them, and
damage is cheaper to repair. They can also produce cheaper, and better, siege weapons than any
other clan. These skills allow the Hojo to pursue a strategy of occupying land, then daring an
enemy to evict them. The Hojo began their rise to power modestly enough on the Kanto plain,
taking advantage of civil war and the troubles of others to establish themselves.
The Mori Clan of Shogun 2: Total War

The Mori have a long history of seafaring and are sea masters without equal. They can read the
waves and move their fleets further than other clans, and their shipbuilding skills make the
construction and maintenance of ships cheaper too. They can also build some rather superior
vessels as well.

The Oda Clan of Shogun 2: Total War

From his castle in Owari, Oda Nobuhide commands a clan with a formidable reputation. The
Oda are rightly respected for their skills as inspiring battlefield commanders of ashigaru. These
common soldiers are cheaper to train and maintain than samurai, if not quite as deadly.

The Shimazu Clan of Shogun 2: Total War

The Shimazu are a proud clan, with a long history worthy of their pride. To the Shimazu,
loyalty is everything, and their generals are less likely to develop ambitions of their own.

The Takeda Clan of Shogun 2: Total War

Takeda warlords have ruled Kai, their home province, since the 12th Century, but they have
known little peace. Clan infighting, a long series of struggles against repeated invasions from the
neighbouring Shinano province, and wars against the Hojo and Imagawa clans, saw to that. They
have, however, mastered diplomacy as well as horses, and have achieved peace on occasions.

The Tokugawa Clan of Shogun 2: Total War

Although the Tokugawa are an ancient family, claiming descent from Minamoto no Yoritomo,
the first shogun of the Kamakura shogunate, they have known hard times since those glorious
days. They have also changed their clan name, with the permission of the Emperor Matsudaira,
to Tokugawa, the place where Yorimoto's descendent settled.

The Uesugi Clan of Shogun 2: Total War

The Uesugi are proud of their Buddhist faith. They can recruit and maintain warrior monks far
more cheaply than any other clan. They can also recruit much better fighting monks and more
effective monk agents than any other clan. Despite this religious solidarity, the history of the
Uesugi is not tranquil.
