You most def what to be using a mouse for when you enter battle just like with the rest of the series, altho I never used the KB exclusively with any of the games so I don't know if it works or not but I always prefer my Mouse+KB combo. Still awaiting news about whether or not they will have them ingame ninja vids, I so loved them.

But it's also said in the original Shogun Total War you can only use the mini-map to command your troops around?

Your source does not seem very reliable. You could click and set up direction/formation on the battle map during combat when moving unit groups. It was actually quite robust for its time.

You can see a character that looks like a geisha on the campaign map in that ninja video. I would be perfectly fine with her being slightly less powerful this time around though; in Shogun, one of these was enough to win the whole game...
Rome was the first game in the series where I felt that the controls did not feel like brain surgery in the dark, to be honest. IIRC in Rome and Medieval 2 you can select a kind of "traditional" keyboard layout which emulates the old Shogun style, but honestly I don't really remember how similar they are. |

Have they ever mention the time period allocated and the area allowed for conquest ?
Since Medieval 2 included parts of America and span up till the 16th Century, I;m hoping Shogun 2 do likewise; instead of restricting our playground to mainland Japan, open up Korea and parts of China for us to conquer (While at that, give us the faction of Korea and Yuan Mongols too.) until the Meiji restoration period. Speaking about the Mongol, is CA ever going to rollout Genghis Total War ? |

They've already said that the time period is Sengoku Jidai (from 1540 onward) and that the whole campaign map will be dedicated to rendering Japan as big as possible. So I guess we won't be reenacting the invasions of Korea anytime soon.

It's a can of worms they would rather not open anyway. Putting Koreans, Chinese and Japanese in the same game in any sort of historical detail is problematic. ("Civlizations" can get away with it because they are not recreating history.)

But I can understand the scope for this undertaking. A map featuring almost the entire Northern Hemisphere with at least over 3 dozen vastly different factions requires quite a bit of work there. But if there's a Medieval 3, I'm hoping it'll feature Genghis Khan. PS :- There's most certainly be a Rome 2 as a developer let slip by referring the current Rome as Rome 1 in an interview. The Muslims didn't protest over the crusade campaigns in Medieval 2 Kingdoms |
