Super late comment and I don’t know if the devs were intentional about this. But crane in sinosphere usually symbolizes longevity and authority (because they were believed to have lived a hundred or thousand years with wisdom and all that) which the current defacto rulers Taira would want to represent themselves as. While wolves in shinto tradition, especially earlier on, were seen as messenger/disguised form of spirits and other godlike entities. And also has some old forest spirit connotation in them. Which i guess suits the old power fujiwara. I hope that helped

So the Minamoto are the best

I dunno but ig mori were fujiwara too

​@@RudraDey-pb5hxsame with date

you have to remember that some of those bloodlines were most likely made up to increase prestige and add legitimacy. some of them are legitimate (mori descends from fujiwara, tokugawa from minamoto, etc) but some of them are probably bullshit like the oda

@@redflags6583 Tokugawa possible fraud too

Makes crazy amount of sense.

Tokugawa were of Minamoto descent so yeah they won complete control. I’m not sure about the emperial lineage though

@@leloupdessteppes3228 The Imperial House still continues to this day. 🙂Their current Emperor is Naruhito who took the Throne after his father, Akihito, abdicated a few years ago.

Yeah neither can I

I dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost my login password. I love any help you can offer me!

@Seth Noah Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Seth Noah it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much, you really help me out!

@Adan Vivaan no problem :D

Blood for the Blood God!! Skulls for the Skull Throne!!

Its early samurai so its really boring with limited option

Just spam foot samurai lol

absolutely not. there were far more clans. and the influence/allegiance mechanic made it way more interesting. You may have found it boring in the first 15 turns. but right after that it becomes awesome. give it another chance.

@@alec0062 It definitely has a slow start, but things do get interesting to a decent extent later on

It is the worst by far

Genpei War

The Sengoku Jidai is Shogun 2, Fall of Samurai was meiji, and Rise of the Samurai is Genpei

@@samuraijackoff5354 correction, Fall is Boshin (Boshin wars)

@@Yusa_Beach I think he was talking about the Meiji restorations, where Japan modernized and the old samurai clans lost their power in Japanese society.

@@SergioKoolhaas He is right that the meji restoration was coming, but that was only after the war. The Emperor gathering up arms and retaking power from the Tokugawa Shogunate that reigned about 200 years.

For the written word, 400 years is nothing

Think of it as a jab at people who have ignored written history. :D

The main Mongol invasion forces got crushed by typhoons, thus never been able to fully get a foothold in mainland Japan. If there is something they could've included too, it would be Toyotomi's invasions of Korea.

@@ptherochannel-main Well the 2nd invasion saw more action. But I see where you’re coming from

@@kaijuslayer3334 2nd invasion?

@@ptherochannel-main This is total war it not have to alway be historical accurate

Good news, some modders with the guidance of some former CA members are working on a Mongol Invasion mod for Shogun 2.

Except Telvanni are actually strong.

smoking dat argonian pack

The reign of the old Shogunate is over!

*B I G B R R R sound*

祇園精舎の鐘の声 諸行無常の響きあり

So iconic

Well because that time was a horrendously messy time

Yeah, kind of 🤣

Linfamy did some nice vidos on the Gempei war and the run up to it

Technically for a turn based strategy, you wouldn't need any of the minor conflicts and messy relations, since all decisions are still made by the player

You're right. There were Taira, Minamoto and their allies on both sides. Many clans defected depending on how the fighting was going. The Oshu Fujiwara didn't even take much part in the battles. They mostly stayed out of everyone's business until Yoritomo showed up to hunt his brother down.

For me its more like: Taira = House Lannister. Minamoto = House Stark Fujiwara = House Targaryen

Minamoto seems more like the Tyrells. Politically savvy, cunning, and manipulative. Just not matriarchal.

@@plumpsmedici7306 I think its because of the animals that they are represented by

@@goobins_jr that's fujiwara. they do their activity inside the government and bloodline

Honest Dix Heian is more like the Han Dynasty than 3 Kingdoms. Also, the three powers in 3 Kingdoms are new powers, not successors of powerful families. The Fujiwara didn’t have a large role in the war either, they merely shelter Yoshitsune. Also, the geography of the clans are not as important as it is in 3 Kingdoms.

Life is like Sakura. Strong, struggling and beautifully short and like the blossoms our life should end in a good death.

Khurram Mazhar Amir Taira are more capitalist

Darth Sidious Damn you are right 👍

the fascist win at the end.

fujiwara isnt coz they control the imperial palace's bloodlines and offices until taira rose to power since taira kiyomori is a late emperor's bastard then minamoto was stripped off of their offices as per nobility. technically these people are all imperialists since they are all cousins under the emperor's bloodline. i can't see the point why do u need to classify the three families.

@@mhel6948 chill dude it was a joke

like to think as fujiwara as house targaryen

That's what I thought all along lol

Minamoto are House Stark, Fujiwara are House Targaryen and the emperor is House Baratheon

For me its more like: Taira = House Lannister. Minamoto = House Stark Fujiwara = House Targaryen

Taira = Lannisters Minamoto = Baratheon Fujiwara = Velaryon (the other valyrians)

Yeah like Sparta for Rome II what the fuck? :c

+Johnfuse Real expansions right? Like the Ikko ikki DLC, the Otomo DLC, the the unit packs DLC, the blood and gore DLC, the Hattori DLC, the heroes DLC, the historical battles DLC. At least the new DLCs are cheaper

@@_Gandalf_The_White While i totally despise that obsesion in CA of making tons of useless DLC´s i have to say that "Rise of the republic" was one of the best total war dlc´s i have played since "Fall of the Samurai"
