That's going STRAIGHT into the book.

How to ruin a good mod:
- Give all units latin names or names in their native language just so some nerds can satisfy their autism
- Make every battle last 60 minutes because units take ages to grind each other down

>>165545893
Yeah DEI is retarded

What are the chances of CA implementing a TPS or even FPS hero mode to Warhammer? I'd love to give the control of a hero unit to a friend, or play as one myself. It'd require some tinkering so it wouldn't be OP or unfun, like having manual blocking mechanics replace automatic melee defense, but I think it could be really great.

Attila is so goddamn boring
All the european barbarians are essentially the same, and even the romans aren't that much different in terms of unit aesthetics from the barbarians
everything looks so bland and uninspiring, everything is brown, everything is samey and boring
tried the desert empires thing, the factions have all of 5 units in total: shitty spears, slightly better spears, shitty archers, slightly better archers, some sort of slinger guys, and 3 apparently different guys on camels that look the fucking same

how am I supposed to get hype and invested

But every TW is the same regarding unit diversity, with the exception of Warhammer perhaps.
Attila is brown and dark because it fits the mood and period of the game, it's one of my favorite TWs in aprt due to that reason.

Big thanks to the anons w/ the econ advice last thread, towards the end I had a couple provinces pumping out 2k/turn which helped during the crucial stretch before I snowballed and rekt everyone.

Do you guys usually do long or domination campaigns? Short is too short obv but domination seems like a chore

>>165546770
no, he must have had low loyalty for whatever reason. I've had my characters do the same thing in battles before

>>165546743
Skirmish cav can rek enemy cav, the problem is that the AI really likes going into the various diamond/wedge formations which does take away all of their missile block chance, but allows their units to catch your cavalry if they hit charge speed. Great thing about attila is that you can also use them to kill enemy skirmishers after they run out of ammo

>>165547012

They should make Middenland have constant beastman stacks spawn every X turns and maybe make the Drakwald part of it have a severe movement penalty.

I'm not sure how they could make Middenland more unique in terms of campaign play.

I can figure out what a unit does from unit card looking at the discription well enough, but I want to know which unit does what at a glance.
Stuff like Hastati or Cataphracts are well known enough to give them their real name, but that doesn't justify giving obscure semitic factions or small celtic tribes fancy names when the unit you have there are just your generic spearmen or tribal swordsmen. It's an annoyance that sours the gameplay.

The problem is though that any other lord who might make an interesting Empire LL is still right next to Reikland.

As you said Middenland is right to the north. He'd still be different from Franz since your first concerns would be Beastmen, Hochland, Nordland and chaos raiders.

Oh nooooo.

Why did you release the captives bro?

>>165547186
I've literally used it in multiplayer for short periods and it is adequate there. You just need to know the speed of each unit.

>>165547194
That's the thing though. They're only well known through exposure to games like this.

gendarmes, janissaries, varangians, boyars, paladins, huskarls, hypaspists, fucking yari ashigaru. The fuck is a yari ashigaru?

The glance is all you need.
>What the fuck is this name, it looks kinda like a sterotypical roman legionary.
>Oh it has those stats, that's how it functions.
>Oh the name means YARI ASHIGARU

You have no idea what the fuck these names mean, until you take a second or two glance at them. And then you do know what they mean.
And you can find out additional details later if you want.

I knew vaguely what a hoplite was, but I had no idea what a hoplon was for a lot longer.

I'll agree that making sure every unit is named in latin or something is an autistic as fuck endeavor by the developers, and the audience who prefer it that way.
But it in no way truly subtracts from the player who doesn't care's experience.

The main tip was to specialize a few provinces that have high income builidings like gold mines and only build the higher level markets there so that together w/ a metsuke you can make some serious money

>>165547536

That could be remedied by splitting Kislev into a few different sub-factions.

Player controlled Kislev starts with a single settlement, Kislev, in the Southern Oblast. The rest can be controlled by rebels or steppe tribes or whatever.

They could always pull a Helman Ghorst or Alberic of Bordeleaux and create a LL out the Elector of Nordland, Hochland, Ostermark or Ostland.

Like the Count of Ostermark:
>"Although not technically part of the Alderfen garrison, Count Hertwig was on a tour of inspection when the breach occurred. He thus took command of the battle, until his death at the hands of Festak Krann. Ordinarily Count Hertwig would have fought from the saddle of his war griffon, Bloodfeather, but the beast had succumbed to plague two days earlier."

Or Count Valmir von Raukov of Ostland:
>"Like his father before him, he has spent a lifetime fighting against Chaos warbands, raiding Norses, and marauding Orcs, not to mention the occasional forays of bandits from Kislev. Even his own realm is not wholly safe, for the forests and mountains are full of renegades, Beastmen, Trolls, Giants and countless other foes. Valmir von Raukov is a tough warlord whose constant vigil has protected the northern borders of the Empire for many years."
>"Armed with his legendary Runefang and famous Dragonbow he has kept all his enemies in check. He was married to Ivana, and had two sons; Oleg von Raukov and Vassily von Raukov. However, both Ivana and Oleg died during a Chaos incursion in 2515 IC at the hands of Lord Mortkin."

>>165548353

>>165547271

Averland is probably the best alternate start if it included a fleshed out Marius.

>right next to Vampires
>right there next to Black Fire Pass

Now tack on giving Marius a turn-choice gimmick like the Beastmen, or Grombrindal that plays off him being a mad cunt. Mite b cool.

God bless the wiki! I found a good candidate for an alternate Empire start and LL.

Ostland start with Oleg von Raukov LL.
>Oleg von Raukov was the fearsome Prince of Ostland and the heir apparent of Valmir von Raukov, the Elector Count of Ostland
>He has shown much of his father's own personality, such as his father's love for battle and his unbelievable hatred of all the northern raiders of Norsca.
>Oleg had perhaps exceeded his father in that regard, having destroyed many settlements along the Norscan coast as well; among them were the coastal Norse towns of Aarvik and Ulfennik.
>It was during this battle that Oleg von Raukov and his personal regiment of Master Swordsmens known as the Crimson Curs fought against Mortkin and his elite Fel Legion in combat.
>Thrice did Oleg strike Mortkin with his magic blade, a gift of great power from the Ice Queen herself.

Warrior LL who specializes in fighting Chaos, hates Norscans, has a sword gifted to him by the Queen of Kislev and has a unique regiment of Master Swordsmen. Maybe he could have some attrition resistance so he can raid Norsca.

>On the Grand Campaign map single stacks organized at the Regimental level, stacks of 20 = ~1,000 - 2,000 troops.
>Regiments can form Divisions (4 regiments) on the GC that a General can be slotted into like a Governor
>On the battle map individual infantry units operate on at the platoon level (~50 men), tanks are a single model unit, and towed artillery come in 3s
>On the GC you can build airfields and long range static artillery that can be called in on the battle map but only if within range
>Battle maps themselves will have to be larger, a cover system would need to be developed and every battle map would have objectives similar to siege capture points.
>Objective markers give maps more direction and justify the existence of platoon based elements

It's very much doable. But it's never ever ever ever going to happen. CA's engine sucks and they can't make games that don't revolve around formations.

After finishing my Skarsnik campaign, what is the point of goblin missile cav? Their missile strength is really pisspoor, even if they fire into the back of a unit they just can't get any kills. I don't get the spider cav either, they're slower and not really that much better than the Wolf Riders, in a Goblins army they have poison attacks anyways.

And then there's the Squigs who have pisspoor charge, no shields and just work as a somewhat mobile melee unit with mediocre attack/defence.

Are you seriously comparing tactics used by armies in the 19th century to the tactics used in the 20th century? What's worse is, there's already a huge leap between 1860 and 1914 in terms of how armies behaved and used their soldiers, the difference is miles more radical from 1918 to 1936.

A World War Total War would always be bad because in the 1914 you'd be commanding "squads" of 100 men and in 1936 you'd be commanding squads of 8-10 men,

You want World War 2 you have to do it like Close Combat or like Company of Heroes, both of which have nothing to do with how Total War feels.

The AI had a better shot at winning that battle than winning with their stacks getting eaten up piecemeal across the map by attrition and different hostile factions.

Different, less accurate, weapons, so the bleeding of men takes longer and the AI can adjust. In FotS they know they have to close in fast to get results.

I meant Warhammer in particular, but it applies for all them really

>>165565816

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. Sed domi maneas paresque nobis novem continuas fututiones.

Superficially, Radious mod appears to be a mod which caters to the most proletarian among men; aloof critics dismiss it as such often without a second thought. As complacent as these self-proclaimed "understanders of strategy" are, they fail to realize that Radious mod is a cult classic, a chef d'oeuvrea buried under false preconceptions and unfounded criticism. This gem is hidden because it does not shine; it is buried because its tone is that of abyssal black. Radious mod pries into to the darkest corners of our subconscious, the most visceral of our cognition, the most carnal of our urges, and the most primal of our instincts.

As brilliantly put by Cattalus, "Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo"; to describe the artistic qualia of Radious mod would be to describe music to the deaf, color to the blind or beauty to the philistine. The painting speaks for itself, and it is up to the player to fully absorb its depth. Its sublimity will ever be debated yet always remain objectively irrefutable; the fundamental insight it provides into human and perhaps animalistic nature may shape the basis of Total War modding for centuries to come.

if anyone has any suggestions for what they don't like and want to see change, pls say. The idea is to get rid of shit fucking skills like most in pic related and add ones you actually wanna pick, like not having to get fucking Sack and Raid income for your governor just to get +2 public order.

The idea is to change skills for every type of general, celts, barbs, romans, nomads, easterns.

I think it's the effect the general has on your units' morale.

Something seems off in Grunburg these days.
I just can't put my finger on what it might be.
hmm...

>>165570429

Maybe they tried and it just wasn't working.

I mean, It was buggy in Rome II

>>165570557
will we have proper map effects if you spread vampiric corruption to the elves and shit?

>>165570079
>>165570280
Yeah it's this, so +3 command in siege battles means your units get +3 morale.

HOW ARE THERE NO NEW LEAKS?

So is Age of Charlemagne actually good or am I about to be memed out of a few shekels?

>inb4 read the reviews
I trust /twg/ most for some reason.

I haven't kept up with TW:W. When are skaven coming?

>>165558967
Dude.

Magnus The Pious lived a very long time ago and Stefan lived in the same times as him.

At this point Stefan von Kessel would be be in a mausoleum or a Wight King raised by some stupid vampire instead.

If I'd go with Old Friend, then it's definitively Boris "HERE COMES THE TOD" Todbringer ascended to LL-hood with Middenheim becoming a sub-faction with unique units and building chain.

At one point I also thought that it would be Morgan Bernhardt from Shadow of The Horned Rat/Dark Omen.

The reason Morgan wasn't in End Times is that he would've fixed everyone's problems.

>>165566707
NOW THAT WOULD BE A PLOT TWIST.

Maybe more like a divine ghost.

>>165562558
YOU? I DIDN'T VOTE FOR YOUR!

>>165572896
its alright, campaigns get boring fast due to being like 4 units per faction and less diversity than vanilla attila. starts are all kinda boring imo but i don't like large starts. faction missions are a good system, i enjoy them, like lombardy.

if you arent too bothered about unit diversity being non existent go ahead.

>>165572896

Its pretty good

t. Charlemagne

>>165570557
Hmmmmmm.

You know what that means?

HOT SPRINGS!!!

>>165572896
Yery good but get Sebidee's unit mod for AoC to also have good unit diversity.

>>165572896
That's kinda playable. Don't make war with your shitty tier1 roster so you'd better upgrade your barracks to get armored units and heavy paladin cavalry. Build churches everywhere you can, they provide their lawboost effect to the neighbour province

As I remember it was shortly before Karl got elected as Emperor. It was when the previous one got munched by a Wywern.

In the Total WARHAMMER game, he actually lives to this day with Grimgor.

Hoping they'll add old Gorbad Ironclaw too for maximum WAAAGH!!!

>>165574078
At first not.

They were rivals, but not to the point that Boris would aid Empire Secessionists (if they'll make Boris and Middenheim playable, then it will probably be Chaos shenanigans with the Secessionists to destabilize the Empire).

After some time Boris does warm up to Karl and becomes the Emperor's most fervent supporter.

>When Karl Franz was elected Emperor after the death of his father, only Boris Todbringer of Middenland opposed him. Boris lost the vote despite the support of the High Priest of Ulric, but has since proved to be the most loyal and energetic of Karl Franz's Counts.

Started a Empire campaign, i forgot how much i love heavy cav. It reminded me how much i cant fucking wait for Bretonnia so i can recreate Alan domination.

Is it possible to Cav only in TWW? Is it as OP as in Attila.

As long as you have something like Blood Knights or gay ass demigryphs that can handle large units then yeah it's more than viable.

For the Welves probably I could see that being doable, not really anybody else though.
Empire might be possible, but their missile cav is aids.

>>165575086
Ah.

Darn, my mistake.

It was Gorbad probably. And it's still ambiguous about if he lives or not.

Though I think he's somewhere there raising another WAAAGH!!!

Maybe he'll join Grimgor?

>>165575153
This depends.

Every faction does have anti-Cavalry units.

Use Demigryphs with Halberds to kill monsters and normal Demigryphs to steamroll everything else.

>>165575429
My monitor is p bad

I hope that there's an achievement for razing Naggaroth as the Tomb Kings eventually

>>165575653
I hope there is an achievement/victory condition for the Ogre Kingdoms for killing a Tomb King, a Slann and a Lord of Change, named in reference to food tourism.

>>165575956
Ogre Kingdoms WHEN.

How do you think they will function? small units of elite infantry 30-60 men, or more like trolls and have gnoblars make up the most of the army.

I am excited to see what CA does.

Fire temples not churches, OK. Praise Zoroaster.

>>165576175
primarily gnoblars wouldn't be very engaging and entirely miss the point.

small units of elite infantry, but more minotaur sized, 30-60 would be obscene for the size of the models.
