Total War: Shogun 2's Saints and Heroes Unit Pack is out. The Creative Assembly so delivers the unrestrained excellence of nine elite units which are the epitome of their respective specialties in the field of battle for you to put to superior use in either single-player or multiplayer.
Here's word:
Honed by years of relentless training and tempered in the fires of battle, these nine elite warrior units excel in their fields, and stand head-and-shoulders above their rank-and-file brothers.
The units:
• Kiyomasa's Katana Cavalry - these heavily-armoured cavalry units wield their blades with a brutal expertise.
• Yoritomo's Yabusame Cavalry (bow experts) - precise and quick, these men can snipe at enemies, and hold their own if cornered.
• The Spears of Shizugatake (Yari cavalry) - masters of the spear, these expert horsemen boast a devastating charge, and resolute morale in the face of counter-attack. Flank and strike with these spear-wielding cavalrymen.
• Benkei's Blades - the long-bladed Naginata is effective against all-comers – doubly so in the hands of an expert.
• Gozen's Hime Heroines - in the hands of a great heroine, the Naginata becomes a graceful whirl of steel and bloody death.
• Tokitaka's Tanegashima (Matchlock) - armed with a beautifully crafted rifle, these heroes put their marksmanship to deadly use.
• Seigen's Swordmasters - carrying the fearsome two-handed Nodachi, these heroes strike terror into the hearts of those they charge.
• Tadakatsu's Tetsubo Warriors - as strong as Oni, these mighty warriors are masters of the brutal Tetsubo, or war club.
• Hanzo's Shadows - an elite ninja unit, unparalleled in the use of stealth and trained to scale castle walls at lightning speed. The ultimate dealers of swift and silent death.
Simultaneously, both Shogun 2 and Fall of the Samurai received sweeping updates that include assorted fixes and AI improvements.
This latest DLC pack is currently available through Steam.
