My brother was playing this game (which we have both been obsessed with lately), and he pointed this out to me:
http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/54176 ... BBAD71032/You can see in the lower left of the daimyo's profile that he has a goban, which gives command attributes to him in battle. Pretty cool of them to include it.
Now I'm on the prowl for shogi references in the game...

That's a neat find!
What's the game like? The last two of the series that I had played were Rome and Medieval, and then skipped Empire/Napoleon because of the fairly negative reception it got. Is Shogun an improvement again? How well does the AI cope?

The leftmost slot in the "Retainers" section shows a an image of a shogi piece on a shogi board. If the "go board" info is a popup/tooltip related to that, then the developers have mixed up go and shogi.

The text says "Go Board" but the icon is a Shogi piece (the "銀将") , presumably on a Shogi Board (将棋盤), not a Go Board (Goban, 碁盤):

Did I miss something?

Oh, I had only looked at the picture zoomed out and assumed the picture was a goban and the black was black stones. Good spot. Pretty amusing mistake.
Maybe they use the silver general piece to indicate all games generals can get, to save file space.

Shogi also gets a text reference in the game.
http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/59580 ... 828B83091/It seems the Silver General is the default "gaming" icon in the game, as I had a feeling of.
