With a new era, and new players, comes new units – Rise of the Samurai comes with 16 new land units that serve as precursors to what you get in the main game. Since each family has its own distinct traits, they act and play as ‘clans’ in their own right, and simply share similarities and allegiances with their fellow clan-member faction. You get to choose between 6 ‘families’ – two for each of the three main warring clans – the Minamoto, the Taira, and the Fujiwara.
RotS may require the base game to play, but it’s completely self-contained, using its own version of the main campaign map, its own factions, and its own units. Rise of the Samurai is Shogun 2’s first (and so far only) mini-campaign, and is set during 12th Century Japan during the ‘Gempai War’ – a conflict that dealt with the rise of the samurai as a ruling class and which resulted in the very first Shogunate.
