My brother was playing this game (which we have both been obsessed with lately), and he pointed this out to me: http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/54176 ... BBAD71032/ You can see in the lower left of the daimyo's profile that he has a goban, which gives command attributes to him in battle. Pretty cool of them to include it. Now I'm on the prowl for shogi references in the game... |

That's a neat find! What's the game like? The last two of the series that I had played were Rome and Medieval, and then skipped Empire/Napoleon because of the fairly negative reception it got. Is Shogun an improvement again? How well does the AI cope? |

Now I'm on the prowl for shogi references in the game... The leftmost slot in the "Retainers" section shows a an image of a shogi piece on a shogi board. If the "go board" info is a popup/tooltip related to that, then the developers have mixed up go and shogi. |

Oh, I had only looked at the picture zoomed out and assumed the picture was a goban and the black was black stones. Good spot. Pretty amusing mistake. Maybe they use the silver general piece to indicate all games generals can get, to save file space. |

Shogi also gets a text reference in the game. http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/59580 ... 828B83091/ It seems the Silver General is the default "gaming" icon in the game, as I had a feeling of. |
