July 30^th, 2001 (12:00am) - Shogun: Total War(tm) Warlord Edition for the PC, the successor to the
highly acclaimed real-time strategy game - Shogun: Total War from Electronic
Arts, has gone gold and is scheduled to ship nationwide on Tuesday, August
7. Shogun: Total War Warlord Edition will have a new enemy that threatens
mainland Japan, as well as an array of new and improved game features. The
Warlord Edition will also reintroduce players to the original Shogun title
that delivered a revolutionary style of gameplay through its epic size
battles. Building upon the excitement of battle found in Shogun: Total War,
the Warlord Edition offers the inclusion of Kublai Khan’s invading Mongol
hordes that sweep across Japan in the greatest external threat the Samurai
ever faced. Like its predecessor, the title will allow players to take
command of thousands of warriors, each with his own unique Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and fighting characteristics, on a quest to unify Japan
under the rule of a single powerful warlord.

The Warlord Edition is a stand-alone product that includes the first Shogun:
Total War title, which means it does not need the original title in order to
run.
