“Getting your initial idea up and running, and having something playable on a device, is crucial in proving that your vision is going to work,” says Charpentier. When the team eventually got go-ahead on the project, the prototype phase began almost immediately. “You vanquish your enemy through good field analysis, proper troop setup and cunning tactical moves.”
“Regardless of whether you’re playing Total war on PC or iOS, the overall aims are very similar,” says Charpentier. In action, the play sessions are shorter-around ten minutes instead of an hour-and the UI, the controls, and the way you give orders to your troops are designed specifically for the touchscreen. “Total War Battles: Shogun shares the same DNA: it’s recognized as one of the deepest strategy games on the App Store, and it features the same background as Total War: Shogun 2 on PC.” Indeed, you have the same sorts of strategic decisions to make: you drive your economy and command your troops, but in a structure that makes more sense on a handheld device. “You could sum up Total War PC as one of the deepest strategy games around, grounded in the reality of historical warfare,” he says. The result is something Charpentier considers nothing less than a fully-fledged RTS. “iOS is the biggest market in the handheld space, so we started there, but the objective was to craft an RTS capable of playing great on any handheld platform.” “Then the iPhone revolution erupted, and pretty soon, some very powerful handheld devices were in everyone’s pockets.” The team looked at the rapidly changing landscape and thought about how they could preserve the feeling of the Total War PC games without being limited by either the original platform or the new one. “We had always considered re-engineering Total War for other platforms, so the idea has been around for quite some time,” says Creative Assembly’s Renaud Charpentier, lead designer on the studio’s digital team. The game holds true to many of the franchise’s core tenets, with building, combat, and unit management, all set in 16th century Japan.
Now, the series has arrived in a new form: on iOS, to be precise, in the form of Total War Battles: Shogun. The Total War series has been 12 years in the making, as UK developer Creative Assembly has refined and redressed its expert RTS title into a finely-tuned (virtual) war machine on PCs around the globe.

Then I tried to run it again ands the installation process gets maybe 1/10 from the end and just goes off, so I am guessing it won't launch because of this seeing as I cannot even run the benchmarks it just says user aborted session.
I think I may have found the source of the problem however I am unable to resolve it so if anyone has any ideas they would be much appreciated when I redownloaded from steam I got an error when I ran the vcredist x86 file said it was in unable to install due to Microsoft. I press launch and it says shogun 2 total war preparing to launch and then nothing happens. Seem to be having trouble that some people on here have also and after looking through the threads and trying the solutions given there they do not work for me.
