The multiplayer is currently Linux to Linux only, from the press email:
QuoteOnline multiplayer will be Linux vs Linux upon launch, and Feral is working on a patch that will enable macOS vs Linux in the near future.
From the Feral Announcement:
QuoteStake your claim on the shogunate on May 23rd with Total War: SHOGUN 2 and Fall of the Samurai, two magnificently expressed entries in the legendary Total War series.
Total War: SHOGUN 2 is a masterful combination of real-time tactics and turn-based strategy set against the dramatic backdrop of 16th century Japan.
Fall of the Samurai is the standalone sequel to Total War: SHOGUN 2, and moves the action on to the 19th century, where Japan plunges into the modern world with a spectacular clash of medieval and mechanized weaponry.
They have not yet revealed the system requirements. They say they will confirm those closer to release.
Two games from Feral Interactive's previous Mac ports, so it's nice to see them working through their older titles for us too.
I've asked Samsai to take the lead on the port report for this one, since Total War games aren't really something I'm greatly interested in. Even without my personal interest in it, this will be great to have on Linux since SHOGUN 2 is one of the most highly rated in the series!
This isn't the only upcoming port from Feral Interactive either, as the "Made to wade" clue is still hovering on their radar. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Total Warhammer is enough Total War for me. I really don't want another Total War game.

I honestly can't believe we now have so many Total War games. I would never have guessed this a few years back! THANKS FERALIt's ironic that we still don't have Total War Rome 2, which was the only Total War game officially announced during the Steam OS launch.

The next big thing will be everyone calling Linux (distros) an RTS OS. What's the last time a non-RTS game was released. Deus Ex maybe? (Indies don't count.)Having a few Total War games doesn't suddenly remove all the other fantastic games we do have you know? Even just going by Feral, we're talking four games out of how many they ported now? Like it or not, they obviously sell well or they wouldn't keep porting them.
Also, why don't indies count exactly? There's masses of truly fantastic indie games on our platform.

Any word on Vulkan?Nope, all we have is the announcement. Very doubtful for such an old title though, doubt it would be worth it.
You're correct, yep. These games use OpenGL.
Regarding cross-platform multiplayer, we're working on a Linux vs Mac patch for y'all. We'll shout when that's released.
Thanks for this.
One question. Will it one day be possible to play multiplayer with Windows users ? or is that not technically possible ?

Linux vs Windows multiplayer for SHOGUN 2 isn't technically possible. If it ever is, you can bet we'll be all over it. :)

I'm guessing this same issue exists with CoH2 and Warhammer 2 , right ?
Curios how the multiplayer mechanism works (if you are allowed to discuss this)

To Feral do you know if you will be supporting Amd Gpu's or will it be all Nvidia support for this game?

Glad I don't care about multiplayer with this game, but this is some bull shit, all the time its Linux and Mac multiplayer, no windows, thats what kills the chances in some games picking up on Mac and Linux, like with Arma3.

You can get some good insights into issues around cross-platform multiplayer in our Steam post about CoH2.

We're still working on the system requirements for ya.

Is the Single Player worth it?
do you like rts mixed with grand strat if the answer is yes then yes if not then no simple as that the extra dlc makes unit and starting location changes but its still more total war.
edit after all the clues of made to wade its Shogun 2, didnt think it was SW2

So the tease on the radar was for Shogun 2 and not Shadow Warrior 2?:'(
I'm not complaining, since I never experienced a Total War title and Shogun 2 can be a good start, but I was thinking about SW2 (even if the first one is sitting in my library and I haven't get a chance to play it).
Good Work BTW, keep porting!
Similar to you, I had Shadow Warrior (2013) in my Steam library, and owing to my keenness for SW2 - I installed and played SW1 - to increase the Linux user Steam stats (by "1" ) as a bit of encouragement to the developers.
On which note, I thoroughly enjoyed SW1 - and I'm expecting SW2 to be AWESOME! And noting that there are TWO teases on the radar, and the 2nd tease 'might' be SW2.

If Feral port Warhammer 40000 Space Marine they will earn some my respect...
And if they port Bioshock 1 and 2 to Linux (they ported them to mac), I will respect them more...
And if the ports are DRMFREE, I will respect them 100%.
