• Greatly reduced save-game file sizes and full Steam Cloud support

• Battlefield load time improvement (approximately 30% dependent on machine spec)

40 units, how am I supposed to control all of them!?

As Fall of the Samurai is dropping tommorow, Creative Assembly has stated that this will be the last major patch for Shogun 2. With the sheer size of this patch, it is safe to say that this was quite a way for them to go out.
