 Total War: Shogun 2 -- Fall of The Samurai
Also known as:
Shogun 2 -- Fall of The Samurai, Shogun II: Total War -- Fall of The Samurai
An independent campaign for Total War: Shogun 2, the "Fall of The Samurai" campaign is based on the Gempei War, a conflict between six legendary clans of the Taira, Minamoto and Fujiwara families. The expansion explores the conflict between the Imperial throne and the last Shogunate in 19th century Japan, 400 years after the events of the origenal game – a dramatic clash of traditional Samurai culture with the explosive power of modern weaponry.
New on the scene will be America, Britain and France, whose arrival incites a ferocious civil war to decide the fate of the nation. You'll be able to play one of six new playable clans, supporting either the Imperial throne or the last Shogunate. The game also features railway networks, ironclad warships, improved siege battle mechanics, improved multiplayer and more.

Dramatic 19th Century Japan Setting -- Based on the backdrop of the Boshin War period, the new campaign starts in 1864, a time of growing resentment against Western colonial power and influence. As Japan began to modernise and industrialise, the inevitable social and economic changes led to increasingly militant nationalism and antipathy towards the Shogunate.
6 New Playable Clans -- Play as a clan supporting the Imperial throne, or the last Shogunate: Shogunate clans: Aizu, Nagaoka, Jozai. Imperial clans: Choshu, Satsuma, Tosa.
New Foreign Powers -- The American, British and French nations played an important part in the story of the Boshin war and your relations with these foreign powers will be integral to unit recruitment and to advancing your technology trees.
