The Boshin War campaign
This standalone expansion is set in 19th-century Japan during the Boshin War period. Its campaign begins in 1864, as Western influence, modernization and industrialization intensify conflict between supporters of the Imperial throne and the Shogunate. Choose from 6 playable clans: Aizu, Nagaoka and Jozai support the Shogunate; Choshu, Satsuma and Tosa support the Imperial throne. The campaign map extends north to Ezo, and railways let you move armies and agents between regions, though enemies can sabotage or block the lines.
