Shogun: Total War 2000

Is it still worth playing?

The Creative Assembly's 2000 turn based strategy and real time tactics game for Windows, the first Total War. It is set in Japan's Sengoku period, the Warring States era from the 15th to the early 17th century. You lead a clan to conquer the nation and become shōgun, through military force, diplomacy, espionage, trade and religion. The turn based campaign map is where you move armies, conduct diplomacy and build up your provinces, while real time battles let you command an army and direct the fight yourself. There are seven factions based on Japan's historical clans, each starting with roughly the same land and units but with an advantage in a particular area: the Imagawa train more efficient espionage agents. Each campaign is still a different path, since clans start almost equal but lean different ways.
