Shogun 2 save_games folder under Roaming The Creative Assembly with campaigns and replays on PC.
Last updated
Shogun 2 keeps saves in Roaming under The Creative Assembly, in a save_games folder shared with preferences scripts and replays. Campaigns, quicksaves and autosaves all land there as .save files.
The same parent holds other Total War titles in sibling folders, so label backups carefully. Copy save_games plus preferences if you want settings to travel too.
