Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 29:35Volound reviews stream footage about persistent glitches and fixes made by modder JakeTheRipper.
- 37:48DemonNachos's demonstration shows table edits behind a number of the marketed fixes.
- 47:18Volound lists reported problems involving ninja assassination chances and infantry mechanics.
- 53:45He uses DeepSeek with Gates of Hell files to demonstrate automated table changes and changelog generation.
Volound's Shogun 2 criticism has moved beyond how the game looks to how its fixes might have been made. In "TOTAL SCAM: Shogun 2 - Cashgrab Edition", he examines modders' table edits, persistent bugs and the work behind the Complete Edition's patch notes.
The most concrete detour comes late in the video: he feeds Gates of Hell configuration files into DeepSeek to demonstrate how a language model can modify tables and produce changelogs. That illustrates the process behind his hypothesis about AI-assisted fixes; it does not establish how the Shogun 2 developers actually worked.
There were no new uploads this week. That October commentary remains the busiest of his recent videos for daily views, with around 80,000 views overall. "Total War's New ALL TIME LOW." has the larger accumulated audience, but is drawing fewer views each day.
The channel's daily viewing is close to its usual level, and its subscriber count was unchanged over the week. Nearby strategy channels have had livelier stretches, notably UrbanLoon and The Comeback Kids. For Volound, the activity remains in the archive, where his longstanding interest in pushing game systems now takes the form of scrutinising their repairs.
