Originally, Electronic Arts hosted the multiplayer for Shogun Total War. Also, compared to Empire which spanned almost the entire globe, the new instalment is set to focus on the islands of Japan and on a reduced number of unit types. For example, to reflect the characteristics of East Asian warfare, the game's AI is designed on the principles of Sun Tzu's The Art of War. Moving away from the European setting of other 3D Total War games, the developers are making significant changes to core gameplay elements of Shogun 2. The standard edition of the game will feature a total of eight factions (plus a ninth faction for the tutorial), each with a unique starting position and different political and military strengths. The player takes on the role of one of these warlords, with the goal of dominating other factions and claiming his rule over Japan. The country is fractured into rival clans led by local warlords, each fighting for control. Shogun 2 is set in 16th-century feudal Japan, in the aftermath of the Ōnin War.
