Want to gain an upper hand in Total War: Shogun 2? Then the upcoming Otomo Clan Pack DLC may well be just the ticket to expedite your ascension to power in an explosive sort of way.
About the clan:
(...) the Otomo are one of the largest clans on the southern island of Kyushu, and therefore were amongst the first to make contact with the Portuguese, establishing trade links soon after the Europeans were shipwrecked near the tiny fishing port of Nagasaki.
Their daimyo, Otomo Sorin, sees the benefits to both the clan’s economy and the military advantages that trade with the West can bring, making good use of their emerging gun technology. As a result, the Otomo can recruit cheaper gunpowder units more quickly than other clans, as well as more advanced specialist rifle-bearing units.
Introducing this new playable faction to both single and multiplayer modes of the game provides new buildings and new units like the Portuguese Tercos, the Matchlock Samurai, Matchlock Ashigaru, Matchlock Kobaya and Donderbuss Cavalry.
If you're ready to shoot for it, this DLC pack is currently available for pre-purchase on Steam with a 10% discount and the safety will be off for release on the 30th of November.
