SHOGUN: Total War™ - Collection includes the base game SHOGUN: Total War™ and its official expansion pack - Mongol Invasion. About SHOGUN: Total War™ Japan, 1542, a country in turmoil. The last shogunate has collapsed, leaving a nation divided into numerous factions, each led by a daimyo, a feudal warlord. Each daimyo is out to scheme, murder, and wage war to become supreme ruler. The emperor is powerless, a puppet of whichever faction controls Kyoto. Into this melting pot come the first European explorers; bringing guns, religion, and disease. Out of this chaos will emerge only one daimyo, he who will master all the varied skills that make up the art of war; Politics, economics, subterfuge, strategic warfare, and battlefield tactics. Only one will become Shogun. • The first, original title in a 15 year series of award-winning strategy games. • The debut of the now legendary formula of Total War gameplay; a unique mix of turn-based grand strategy and real-time battles. • Zen-like simplicity belies a deep and rewarding game, even when measured against the best contemporary titles. • Now updated for modern resolutions and Steam integration. About SHOGUN: Total War™ - Mongol Invasion Though in history, Kublai Khan’s otherwise unstoppable Mongol Horde were turned back from Japan’s shores by catastrophic weather, in this expansion for SHOGUN: Total War, the ultimate ‘what-if’ question of the period is asked. As either the invading Mongols or the ruling Hojo clan of Japan, it is up to you to take the islands for the Khan or secure your homeland against an imposing threat. • Features a new playable faction, and new units on both sides of the conflict. • Adds new campaign and multiplayer modes. • Includes a map editor to complete the challenge and further enhance a seminal title.

Description from IGDB IGDB

Set against the backdrop of the Sengoku Jidai (Warring States) period from the 15th to the beginning of the 17th century, Shogun: Total War is a real-time tactics and turn-based strategy game with a strong focus on historical authenticity. Players assume control of a daimyo (leader) of a contemporary Japanese clan and attempt to conquer the nation and claim the title of supreme Shogun, the undisputed military ruler of Japan. The gameplay consist of two parts – a turn-based Risk-style mode on a 2D campaign map of Japan where the player must recruit, manage and move their armies, conduct diplomacy, trade, espionage, sabotage and assassinations. This 2D map however ultimately serves to provide context for the 3D real-time battles that make up the main part of the game and occur whenever your army crosses into enemy territory or two opposing forces meet on the campaign map.
