Are you suggesting he'd dig under the camp? :)

Regardless, seems to me a better plan than dressing up as a typical ninja would be to, I don't know, dress up as one of the soldiers?

I'm sorry, but that is the dumbest thing I've seen this month. Giant Ninja on the world map shrinks to become a noisy, cartoony ninja. Even stumbling over a trained soldier and they don't even wake up.

3D rotation now? That's it? It was not thrilling or special at all.

Can't believe noone has mentioend how not-good the CGI in this cutscene is, I mean after watching the old ones the differences between the two is disapointingly small.

ooookayyy

The movie is ridiculous. Both the ninja and the guard are, what?! ten years old? They're playing "ninjas"?
I don't even want to talk about the leg hump...what the hell is a ninja doing in the middle of the sleeping guards? that's not strategy. And why the hell does he makes sooo much noise when he walks. I make a better ninja then him ffs!
And what the hell is up with that assasination? jumping down from a tree, slamming the sword through the victims head?
Where the hell is the silent factor?

And why are the samurais so damn stupid? why do they all sleep? aren't they guarding the general in shifts? And being the personal guard of the general is not something anyone would've achieved! No slacker would've been a personal guard for a general.

This is something you see in a funny cartoon.
Sorry for my bad english but, Shogun total war is my favorite from the total war series. And this here, looks like a piece of junk i don't want to get my hands on. Period.

It's a shame.

I am going to take a guess that the video applies to a beginner ninja, as well as implies victory isn't guaranteed. Not sure if I like the new campaign map view but didn't see enough of that to really make a determination
^This. I believe the old videos from Shogun (1) were similar, there are several ways he can fail. It's made to make you question whether he will succeed until the very end of the movie.

And yeah, the game doesn't take itself super serial with these videos. Neither did the first:

Getting more doubtful about being able to run this game if even the campaign map is spruced up.

But dam that ninja was laughably bad - I hope they have better animations for better ninjas

Are RTS Devs scared of blood now. That may sound juvenile but seriously if that's the best they can do for assassinations I am seriously disappointed. I mean the first's assassinations were awesome

Ah yes the good old days i have found memories playing that game so cited about the new one too. Thanks for the great reminder of the old times.

With guards that useful, only a ninja using an air horn could possibly fail.
Lol the image of Ninjas with air horns has to be the most hilarious thing ever.

Whats the point of having guards if they're just gonna take naps.and what kind of person can stay asleep after someone falls on them?

There are these things called edges. Usually by going around them you can better survey the enclosed area and avoid blindly tiptoeing through sleeping enemies.
