The Dragon War Battle Pack is an expansion pack for Total War: SHOGUN 2 that features six legendary battles from the Boshin War, previously exclusive to Fall of the Samurai. This bundle is intended for owners of the base version of SHOGUN 2 and should not be purchased if you already own Fall of the Samurai. The action takes place in 1868, at the end of the over 250-year rule of the Tokugawa shogunate. Japan stands on the brink of civil war, torn between feudal tradition and Western-inspired modernity. The player takes on the role of the legendary Saigo Takamori and commands an imperial army fighting to restore the emperor's power. The expansion offers a narratively coherent battle campaign, played sequentially on six historical battlefields. Each battle depicts a pivotal moment in the conflict and uses modern weaponry of the late nineteenth century, including firearms and artillery. Battles included:– Toba-Fushimi – defense of Kyoto from the shogunate troops – Osaka Castle – storming the Tokugawa headquarters – Ueno – purging Edo of the last loyalists – Aizu – heavy fighting against the northern bastion of resistance – Miyako Bay – naval clash over the battleship Kotetsu – Hakodate – final assault on Goryokaku Fortress The Dragon War Battle Pack is the perfect add-on for players who want to experience a dramatic, story-driven battle campaign, learn the history of the War of the Year of the Dragon and test your command skills in the realities of the modern battlefield.
