Yesterday was a tough day. It started like any other day as I woke to the sound of birds chirping on my window sill and the sun creeping in through a crack in the curtains. I headed downstairs and filled my stomach with a good ol' English breakfast then logged on to the PC to continue my review of Total War: Shogun 2. That's where things went wrong. You see, I had stupidly decided that it would be a good idea to attack an ally, pillaging their army and city and taking their land. It was all too easy given the size and strength of the army I had at my fingertips, yet just as quickly as I'd taken their land the rest of the clans had turned on me, deeply upset that I had dishonoured them. I watched as trade stopped, my economy collapsed, resentment grew within my own city walls and civil war eventually broke out, tearing my empire apart from the inside.
