Awesome / Total War: Shogun 2

• The intro of each clan in campaign mode all are awesome badass boast in their own right. But special mention goes to Hattori Clan. They're badass enough to get their own unique intro sequence.
  • The outro of each clan, too. When the whole Japan was united, our legacy will last ten thousand years!
• Heroic victory. Despite the odd against you, you managed to utterly crush your enemy, while suffering little casualty. Winning such battles may be the most satisfying moments you can enjoy.
• When you first train Samurai in Rise of the Samurai- and see how much terror they can wreak upon your enemies Levies and even their Attendants. Truly, the Samurai earned their reputation as One Man Armies (At least early on, back when they were the only real professional soldiers in Japan.)
• With enough experience and a general with the correct abilities, Yari Ashigaru can rival and even become more effective than their Yari Samurai counterparts. With higher numbers, roughly equal stats, and the incredibly useful Spear Wall ability for less. These guys are capable of squaring off against more elite samurai units, and in many cases successfully hold the line or win, through sheer numbers and attrition.
