Trivia / Shogun: Total War

• Dummied Out: The game had text and sound files that remained unused, including:
  • Material related to the Chosokabe clan, which was used later in Shogun 2.
  • Sound files mentioning the birth of a daughter, a concept which was later used in Medieval.
  • Sound files pertaining to the Great Khan as the faction leader of the Mongols, including him fleeing from and being killed in battle.
  • Unused text lines stating Christian Excommunication, which was later used in Medieval.
  • The Ashigaru Crossbowmen of the Mongol invasions are unavailable in the non-mongol games. You can add them into the main scenarios without any issues, however.
  • There is an unused agent named "The Father Visitor". It sounds like a predecessor to Medieval's Pope.
  • The Toyotomi and Date Clan was supposed to replaced the Oda and Uesugi clans in-game like how the Tokugawa might do under certain conditions. Unfortunately, these strings cannot load due to missing or bugged triggers.
  • There was an unused building called the Medical School, with famous and legendary upgrades. It’s supposed to increase the regeneration of lost men in units, but it doesn't work when modded in. Interestingly enough, the concept was later used in later games and the Legendary Medical School has its art used for the Drill Dojo in the expansion.
  • The devs has an anticheat message added... except that there isn't any way to cheat back then.
