History

Historical Battles were introduced by the Mongol Invasion expansion pack to Shogun: Total War. They were implemented by way of Historical Campaigns in which the player could play 3 separate campaigns which were played through by way of famous battles fought in those campaigns, rather than letting the player control the campaign in the traditional Total War style. These 3 campagins were those of 3 generals in the Sengoku Jidai era, specifically:

  • Toyotomi Hideyoshi
  • Oda Nobunaga
  • Tokugawa Ieyasu

Later on, as the Total War series progressed and Rome: Total War was released, historical battles became a feature available in the singleplayer menu, a tradition which has been followed in every Total War game to date. Rome Total War contained 10 Historical Battles; here is a list of those:

  • Battle of Lake Trasimene
  • Battle of Raphia
  • Battle of Telamon
  • The Siege of Gergovia
  • Battle of the River Trebia
  • Battle of Asculum
  • Battle of Carrhae
  • Battle of Cynoscephalae
  • Battle of Teutoburg Forest
  • Siege of Sparta

As per Total War tradition, the player generally took control of the outnumbered army or the army which historically lost.
