>Launcher Trick
Attila is an unoptimized mess, try this launcher fix to try and improve performance.
Launch Rome 2 then launch Attila instead from the Total War launcher. FPS can increase anywhere between 1 to 25.

That's what mummy made him to try and feel better. He is showing contempt for her and her meals that aren't tendies.

That's not accurate at all.
>>
>>128602502
Hannibal didn't have enough Good Carthaginian Points (G.C. Points) to get tendies.
>>
>>128600875
So what's the story with infantry tactics in Empire and Napoleon?

Why do you get Front rank, 3 rank fire then platoon fire in empire then go right back to first rank fire in Napoleon?

>>128602907
As Hamilcar told him when he held him over the sacrificial pit, the only way to get GBP was to wipe Rome off the map.
>>
>>128602721

>>
>>128603093
Unfortunately, just as Hannibal was going to get his GBP and take out Rome, he went into a fit because his brother touched his stuff.
>>
>>128602768
Probably written by the one fag from the CA forums who always whines that Greeks aren't mary sues in the game.
>>
>>128602502
Are we still going on with the Hannibal was a mega-autist thing?

>>128603613
It's the best answer for understanding Hannibal, his tactics, and his reasoning.
>>
>>128602915
Gotta have something on the research tree, otherwise there's less content
Not that it matters because TW games don't connect like you can with Paradox games
>>
>>128603502
I heard he was really confused. He had to destroy Rome, but Carthaginians don't conquer, they turn people into subjects. He couldn't rationalize it so he spent ten years stimming through the Roman countryside until Scipio Africanus put him in time out.

>>128603613
Yeah, that can be an occasional dank meme. Just as long we try to ultimately keep it history-focused and not Pepe-posting
>>
What if, perhaps, Hannibal was coming over the Alps?
>>
>>128602915
CA said 3 rank fire was historically inaccurate by the Nappy era
>>
>>128604128
Yeah and I suppose when he's with Antiochus he'll be in charge of some fleet instead of a land army where he belongs
>>
>>128602915

Nappy used columns which were basically giant charging squares of men. They might've fired a couple of volleys but melee was where this formation excelled at.

Of course such a charge would be preceeded by mass battery with artillery.
>>
>>128602915
I remember reading somewhere that kneel fire was the norm by that time but CA didn't implement that until FOTS.
>>
>>128604620
That's Antiochus for ya!

It'll be interesting to see the different tactics that you'll have to adapt to based on the forces you play. I hope magic and monsters don't completely rule the field and that its just about getting the biggest baddest thing on the field. and it still has its elements of strategy to it.

warhammer fantasy always has had a bit of historical parody to it so I think you'll enjoy it, especially if you start off as a human faction.

>>128642445
True i just worry they'll put the "They're non-playable lol" crap.

Which is dumb because they'd be easy to make, most of the work would just be in new models, as it is you could reuse the dwarf/goblin/orc animations/assets for 90% of that faction.

I just worry they'll fuck them up or get too lazy. I want my big hats damn it!
>>
>>128642712
That's possible, but Chaos Dwarves are technically in the game already if you count the hellcannon.

They'll probably go with the forgeworld models too over the bighats sadly, since those are the most recent model sets.

An Ogre roster would be reasonably easy though balancing it so that they're effective would be difficult and in the tabletop it relies on their impact hits on a charge and an extra attack they get called thunderstomp.

Not really.

He dies and Sigmar uses his body as a conduit to enter the physical world, Karl doesn't become Sigmar, Sigmar becomes Karl.

Age of Sigmarines is literal 40k clone. Before the end times it's much more lighthearted and unique.

Lahmians, combat-light, some minor magical ability focused around buffing. Ability to enlist human units in the undead army.

Blood Dragons, pure combat monsters, either a blender with normal units or an expert hero killer depending on the skill tree.

Von Carsteins, jack of all trades.

Necrarchs, MAGIC FOR DAYS

Strigori, focus on things like beasts and ghouls in an army. Extra moral damage because of how fucking scary they are.

I'm buying an SSD and I don't know where to start. I've never had an SSD before so I'm just now joining the 21st century in that respect. Gotta be from amazon because I've got one-day prime, and I don't want to spend more than 100-130 bucks on it because I need to get an operating system too (Windows 7) which is really goddamn expensive. I'm done pirating it, never functions properly and I have a looming suspicion that they're all loaded with viruses that fuck your system anyway.

>>
>>128672391

There have been numerous undisputable masterpieces in total war modding, such as the strikingly realistic classic Europa Barbarorum or its medieval counterpart Stainless Steel. Radious mod will not join their ranks; its surface is too generic, its presentation too provocative and its messages too obscure. Its take on the abysmal is an illumination in one person’s despair, but a paroxysm of another’s perversion. It will remain underground – treasured by the most avant-garde among intellectuals for its edifying if horrifying insight into the fundaments of human morality. Philistines and self-proclaimed critics alike will shun Radious mod, but you can’t fault them for that. It takes wisdom to appreciate its subtleties, and courage to side with the unpopular opinion.

>What bonus does Latin Christianity give?

You got meme'd. WRE should stick with latin and ERE with Greek.

>Also is the Greaco-Roman paganism sanitation bonus worth it?

Nope since Romans have the best secular sanitation bulidings in the game. GR paganism is only used by scrubs who cannot survive early game. By mid game the fact that churches raise your public order by a shitton while not consuming any of your ever decreasing food makes christianity superior.
>>
>>128670030

Yes. The first one disables useless buildings and by the time you start researching later ones you should already have those buildings in your main provinces.

>>
>>128663082
We don't know enough about how this works to judge it yet. All we know for certain is that no race can conquer and colonise every single region.

And I don't see that as a gamebreaker. It all depends on how the victory and quest conditions are handled. After all, you can't conquer any regions as the Huns in Attila, and the horde system added a new dynamic to the campaign. This may or may not do the same. I don't agree with the 'it's different so it must be bad!' approach. That's stupid, especially with so little info.

Why would CA want to introduce options to make new settlements in regions? It makes the late game casual as fuck when you have six stacks of armies, unlimited wealth and hundreds of regions to manage. Having to make the most of those regions you control to overcome whoel other factions is going to present more of a challenge than in Rome 2 or Attila.

Why are people sperging out over the occupation limitations? If done well, it sounds like a great choice that makes different factions play vastly differently, like how Huns can never settle.

Also, going by what was said in the stream, it's not as restrictive as people say it is.

Dwarfs are the most restrictive, since they can only expand by taking Dwarf holds from other dwarfs or from other races that have taken over. Their whole campaign focuses on creating a united Dwarven Empire. It actually sounds like a fun challenge, since any real economic growth will only happen after taking holds, and you have to manage to maintain a disjointed Empire.

Greenskins are beastly savages, and so can only take other Orc encampments and Dwarf hold since their basically just ornate caves .

Humans can probably take over anywere as long as they can survive there, so no holds since they would have to live underground and don't know about subterranean agriculture like Dwarfs, and the Badlands are dead regions were agriculture to support cities can't happen.

Vampire counts will probs be able to take just about everything (except maybe the badlands)

I've talked to people that act like this shit completely railroad you, even though it only restriction occupation options, and has nothing to do with faction relations or with who or when you can go to war and shit.

For Saxons, you want to research civil tech until you get a Warlord's Hold. It's a tier 3 civic building, I believe. It will give you Hearth Guards, which are the sword infantry you want to use. As for Sassykids, no advice there. Haven't played them since the update.

If you're looking for an easier faction, then I would suggest Ostrogoths or Visigoths.
>>
>>128715858
I might try one of those two then. I just want to try and get a hang of how this game works but so far it's been a uphill battle. things you think should work end up buckling on you.

And yeah learnt a few things aobut the Saxon that hard way, but anyway thank you very much Anon!
>>
>>128716661
Sassanids became much harder with the recent patch, and Saxons don't really have the best starting position. One of the Goths would be much better for ya. Maybe the Ostrogoths, since you get no penalty for occupying Roman towns and can get Roman units.

Looking back to Rome scares me existentially. A lot of people believe in the cycle of civilizations and all that, that a decadent society collapses and makes room for younger, more vigorous societies. Rome is proof that isn't the case. Rome took about 300 years to reach its decadent phase, and a further 700 to finally collapse. If you count the East as a full continuation of them, then 1700 years of degeneracy. There is no guarantee a society dies when it should, not even close.
>>
>>128721000
Are you ready for 1700 years of American degeneracy?
>>
>>128721000

You do realize that the Roman Empire went through several phases of destruction and renewal, right? It wasn't just the same system all the way through, it went through civil wars, plagues, invasions and rampant corruption, followed by periods of centralization, renewal and recovery. In several ways the Roman Empire didn't really properly 'fall' in the west as depicted, with several cities and states carrying on very much like they did under the Westies. It was just a shame that by that time the West was such a mess anyway that there was no difference between Roman and Barbarian civilization at that point anyway.

It very much is like Rome: Alexander -- no diplomacy, no tense situations, no civil concerns, just Alexander fighting a battles, winning, then stopping at the nearest city and telling them they're under Greek ownership now before heading to the next battle. That's why it fell apart, after all: it was an empire in name only, no local dictatorship to impose order.

Total War really needs to up it on the campaign side of things. Warhammer is going to add new dimensions to the battles, but for Historical to really improve on the formula, they need to make a serious effort to make the campaign map a fun and engaging strategy game in its own right.

As of now, it'd be a 3-4/10 if it was released on its own - playable, but utterly fucking unfun and broken compared to anything else on the market. The only thing that makes us tolerate it are the battles, which are of course satisfying in and of themselves (usually), but also provide a much-needed shift of scale that no other strategy game provides, giving you much more investment in what happens to the pieces that move across the map.

The campaign doesn't have to be a 10/10 that blows Paradox games out of the water, it just has to be a 6-7/10 that, if released on its own, would stand as a well-made if dull entry into the genre. The battles and scale-shifting will be what make it stand out.

But it has to be functional and fun first. Yes, we all put way too much fucking time in TW games, but I'll never put as much time into these as I put into Paradox games until the campaigns stop feeling like an afterthought babbys-first-TBS.

rate my expert game analysis, it's so elite that I can't even make a Youtube channel for it

And post how you would improve the campaign gameplay. I want something in between Paradox games and what we see now - good diplomacy and real difference in value between regions on the map. Also, good internal mechanics, akin to CKII or even EU: Rome.

Stuff like set levy and nobleman pools (for Medieval-type settings) - in TW, that would make me have to adapt my strategies to whatever forces I can muster together, rather than building endless copies of my tailored killer stacks meant to execute the perfect hammer and anvil. And real power blocks of upset subjects, whose power bases are defined regions of the map - rebellion would actually be a thing to worry about.
>>
>>128731589
It'll probably be your hardest war of the game for very little payoff, I'd rather just keep an ally. You will win if you can move all your armies over there, though. I'd prefer aesthetic borders and take over all of Europe and Africa except for Greece, the Fertile Crescent, and leave the East to its own and leave Britannia as your own little barbar zoo.

Welp, gotta move all my armies that massed along Baktria's borders. Man I was gonna be Operation Barbarossa but in like ancient times. Probably with similar results. I have a huge concentration of armies there, but am slowly losing a large amount of funds keeping them alive. And I don't think I can last an entire campaign deep into Asia minor. MY fingers are itching to dispose of the barbarians in Britannia. I already have a solid foothold at Camuldonion. All I need to do is to tortoise the next few turns until I get garrison and replenish my armies until I move out.

So is it possible to co-op as lore sworn enemies? Orcs and Dwarves?

It is cool that they are adding in races, and each race has their factions, etc.

It just seems limiting...it would be nice if CA actually released some meaningful videos for the first time in a while.

Though I feel like they may try to avoid showing the limitations of their game when doing casts. Not good more marketing.

No, aim them at the enemy and micro a bit when they close in to board and lock them

THIS MAN IS YOUR FRIEND
HE FIGHTS FOR YOUR ANIME

My strategy was simple: Use this guy you start with to make huge rebellion down south. If any army starts marching towards you, cause a rebellion in their city. This has a lot of benefit:
1) Rebellion won't fight you
2) It creates a buffer zone between you and potential enemies, letting you focus on 1 flank
3) It destroys whatever army was on the march towards you since they lost their last city.

You can also sell military access for cash. This helps jumpstart your ecnomy.
FUCK TRADE
People war you just to fuck up your trade.

ARMY COMPOSITION
Katana kachis are cheap to train, almost as cheap to maintain as a levy unit and absolutely destroys every unit early game. Get a small army of these + a few white tigers.

Use white tigers to create the anvil, flank on both sides with katana kachis.
Development: VERY YES. Since you won't need to focus on military tech early on because you train kachis, focus on civil technology. Happiness and honour is vital on legendary.

How come when the general dies in battles there's still a higher chance that your troops will run

Won't some stay and fight harder to avenge their general?
>>
>>128795560
Most of those people don't even know the general or will only have heard of him from secondary sources. And if your general dies the usual reaction would be "we're fucked without anyone actually taking control of the battle" rather than "gottta charge blindly ahead without anyone to tell us how the battle is actually going".

There are a couple of examples of that happening in real life (Like with Gustav Adolph) but it's pretty rare so CA probably just wanted to simplify things. Throughout most of history and the periods that TW covers, armies were mostly levies that would just say "oh fuck we're screwed" and didn't really have that much motivation to begin with.

You should be able to destroy enemy cities/strongholds and then simply have the land added to yours and have towns slowly grow. Unless it's somewhere like the Chaos wastes where a fortress could be built then have corruption checks.

On the face of it though it is pretty stupid settling some goblin city rather than just destroying it.

Welp, I conquered everything in my campaign, had a military victory. Seeing all that red makes me feel good.

The war with Baktria was easy, all of their land meant that their forces were stretched thin and couldn't defend all of their borders.

The hardest war was against Nova Carthago, Libya,Carthage. I wasn't prepared and they even landed an invasion in Italia, where I was vulnerable and defeated a mercenary army I had conscripted.

Caliphate if it's prior to Battle of Yarmouk and Persian equivalent battle I forget, Sassanids if it's after the Persian equivalent battle where they lost Mesopotamia and possibly Western Iran but weren't annihilated yet.

What I'd like would be for that DLC to be Imperator Augustus style, converting the entire map since the rise of Islam is more about massive geopolitical changes and not just battles over very small swathes of territory like Last Roman or AOC. Alternatively have it be AOC style but this time of the east and not the west - Westward to Cyrenaica and the balkans, south to Aksum and North to the steppe and Avars/Bulgars/Khazars, Eastward to Sughdia or basically the Rome 2 Easternmost limits.

Please can someone explain to me how to deal with the Huns in Attila? this just isn't fun. I'm playing legendary and I can defeat them in battle no problem but every turn two of thei stacks just pop up and they beline for my lands. They go right in the middle and raze cities or just raid me nonstop. I've probably killed over 12 stacks and Attila isn't even born yet. they refuse to accept peace and they just keep respawning, I thought this would be like the mongols in M2 but this is much more annoying
>>
>>128881439
You didn't finish them off early, this is your fault.
>>
>>128881830
can you? liek can I kill them before Atila is born? Because I'm pretty sure I've killed off every stack at least twice
>>
>>128881932
I have the Dresden mod that enables all diplomacy options and it also lets the Huns settle. They captured one of the Greek provinces and settled and I swooped in as the WRE and ended that shit early. In vanilla? I dunno
>>
>>128882258
well I found a thread on TWC about this now. So basically the Huns are endless until Attila spawns. then I have to kill him 4 times before he dies. then I can kill the Huns

this is so stupid. that means I'll be in a neverending war with the neverending Hunnic stacks until he's an adult. what a shitty mechanic. I love the game otherwise but this just sucks. why not just have the Huns spawn with Attila instead of this shit? Now instead of fearing him I want him to spawn so that I can end this WW1 tier stalemate

If you really want the game, just pre-order a week before release, and don't play it for a week after it comes out, that way you can refund it if you want after enough info comes out to make a good choice.

So Im playing rome 2 for the first time basically, as rome, should I bother with subjugating factions, if they are in an area/direction I dont really plan to advance on or hold onto yet?

or are they going to always just break the agreement and declare war later?
>>
>>128885312
They will

Orks and Uruks make sense using cannons and muskets and all that, considering Tolkien was anti-industrialism. Maybe dwarves too, or even humans.

But elves?

Those are some cool elves tho
