Your Multiplayer Avatar

In Total War: Shogun 2, the multiplayer mode revolves around the creation and progression of an avatar - a direct representation of you that leads your armies during campaigns and battles. Your avatar can be fully customised to your specifications. He is a ronin warlord who gains rank, skills, equipment and retainers as he progresses, building his own warband of hardy veterans who can be selected for use in any given battle. Veteran units can even be renamed and re-coloured as you wish, and will gain levels of experience allowing them to progress through their own individual skill trees. Victory in battle allows exploration of provinces on the multiplayer avatar conquest map, which provides a visual representation of your avatar's progression.
