>ACTUAL Total War News
If you've been living under a rock these past few months, Shortbrindal is free now.

We have battle map creating tools now. Only land battles and only for custom/custom mp games. Siege battles may be a possibility in the future but they're practically covering their ears and screeching at any mention of using modded maps to improve the campaign.
UPDATE: PEOPLE FIGURED OUT HOW TO DO IT ANYWAY AND OUT OF DAMAGE CONTROL CA WILL BE ADDING OFFICIAL SUPPORT FOR ADDING CUSTOM MAPS TO THE CAMPAIGN ALONGSIDE THE BRETONNIA UPDATE

BRETONNIA IS 28TH OF FEBUARY.

Warhammer is $12: https://www.humblebundle.com/monthly

Isabella von Carstein(Legendary Lord) has been announced as part of the War not Peace dealio. She and Vlad have their own faction, seperate from the Mannlet.

so i was looking at the prices for WH dlc on kinguin.com and it's about $70 added with the $12, that's around $82

is the free dlc on steam worth the $23 more id have to pay on steam?

also how would i use the DLC i buy on kinguin for the humblebundle Warhammer if they all say they're "Steam DLC keys"

HB gives you steam keys so you would use the key on steam.

If kinguin gives you steam keys, you would use the key on steam.

And since you're already getting it on Steam, you'll get the free dlc regardless. Since you're getting it on steam.

I just recently got TW:W and come from a Paradox strategy background.

Can anyone explain to me how I should approach war? And how do the peace deals work? I've started as the Empire with Karl Franz and, after taking the Reikland, went to war with Marienburg(?) to the north-east. I took the main capital and now they want peace. If I peace out with them while I hold that city, will I gain control of it? Do I have to conquer the whole of the country to win the city?

I'll never get it. I buy DLC as an investment because for once in my life I feel it's almost worth it. Race packs are a bit pricey, but even then, it feed back into getting us more FLC and more fleshed out sequels.

As a former warhammer fantasy player I have to say that this is literally nothing to me. Sega's jewing is nothing compared to GW's so i've become numb to this and to me this is pretty reasonable.

So I played Attila for the first time after only playing Warhammer and fuck me, Warhammer not having any settlement maps is the dumbest thing ever.

Defending a settlement in Attila is actually like you're defending something - there are choke points, towers, all that good shit that you build in your towns.

It's fucking stupid that they got rid of all that in Warhammer so that building walls round a settlement is completely mandatory.

Will modders being able to add maps to campaigns fix this now?

Never implied it's black and white, you're just as greedy as them. Even more if we consider that you're actually trying to stand on some moral high ground when you're just a sad individual that can't even manage to be coherent and not use content he doesn't want to buy, whatever the reason for not buying it is. At least they admit they do it for profit.

Selling stuff isn't exploitation. A price that you think is too high is not automatically unreasonable. And of course the guys you steal from "deserve it" in your eyes. I can only be glad our society is still so healthy that it allows people with this mindset to carry on living.

Speaking of Bretonnia, do you think CA will ever give is the other sub-factions of each race?

I get Bretonnia and Mousillon are more varied subfactions, but I wouldn't mind playing border princes, or Tilea, or that dwarf hold on the Norsca coast, even if they only get really generic lords.

if I'm just as greedy as a multi-national corporation hell bent on squeezing every last penny out of its loyal consumers as an individual with no economic weight apart from my wallet as a consumer then I'm honestly not even bothered; I'm proud. It's an honest to god achievement to reach that level of greed as an individual, most people have to take courses and have 30 year long careers to reach these lofty heights.

But if you're absolutely sure about heaping these accolades upon me thank you anon; your insight into this has given me a new low of moral fibre I never thought I'd achieve. I can now say I have eclipsed Hitler, Stalin and Mao Zhedong in my greed, a lifelong goal of mine.

Imagine being Isabella Von Carstein in Sylvania and having to be all like "damn, Vlad Von Carstein, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your undead body and horrific rotten monster face. I would totally have sex with you, both my living version and the real undead me." when all she really wants to do is suck another 16 year old's blood in her dressing room. Like seriously imagine having to be Isabella and not only sit in that throne while Vlad von carstein flaunts his disgusting body in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing his necrosis and leathery skin, and just sit there, war after war, hour after hour, while he perfected that necromancy. Not only having to tolerate his monstrous fucking visage but his haughty attitude as everyone on Sylvania tells him he's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, VLAD VON CARSTEIN LOOKS LIKE THAT?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch his ghoulish fucking zombie face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been fucking nothing but a healthy diet of WISSENLAND STUDS and PRINCES and later alleged 'disappeared' virgins for your ENTIRE LIFE coming straight out of the boonies in Sylvania. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the necrosis that's breaking out on his dimpled stomach as he sucks it in to writhe it suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get married to sit there and revel in his "statuesque (for that is what he calls himself)" beauty, the beauty he worked so hard for with vampirism in the previous eras. And then the count of Sylvania,Otto calls for another proposal, and you know you could kill every single person in this room before the sylvanian security could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking Isabella Von Carstein. You're not going to lose your future political career over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

Well, why not? They've got two in Sylvania and two in Athel Loren.

Kraka Drak would be great to play as vanilla dorfs, even more so if they used the Kraka Drak mod.

The problem with the mod is that you can only do individual unit formations, instead of multiple unit formations. I want one big pike square, not 4 tiny ones. You basically have to overlap them to get a desired, in depth pike wall that's actually resistant to cavalry charges.

Kill yourselves.
$20 race packs are inexcusable, and cut content is inexcusable as well. TWH has both.

If they were fairly priced I'd pick them up in a heart beat but modders do the same stuff for free, faster, or at least they would if Denuvo didn't have this game so locked down.

I'm not paying $8 to play as Chaos, especially when the campaign itself is so poorly implemented. They literally just cut out being able to play them then resold it as "extra content" because they only intended for Chaos to be the BBEG doomstacks to make you fight them late game, and put no time or effort into making their campaign fun to actually play.

Beastmen is even worse. $20 for a similarly non fleshed out campaign. It's bullshit. This shlop is in the $5 dollar range of content. They're charging expansion pack prices for factions.

I remember when Total War games got great expansions that were fairly priced. Now they're just making bank off of idiots like you.

Fuck me, Wolves are my favorite founding chapter, but I HATE their color scheme. I also really hate that they don't have successors canonically so I can't make wolves with a good color scheme.

Salamanders are kind of the same deal, but I think their colors are okay.

I had shit tons of bad run in with their players, not just in table top but in other games like Space Marine.

Yes, you are silly and kind of slow. Maybe spend 2 seconds thinking about it before building those false expectations.

Isabella, a single Legendary Lord, is the grand prize for winning best of the 4 events. Yet you expected Warhammer's dlc packs with far, far more content in them to be one of the minor prizes for wining a single day. And now you're getting uppity because the thing you got for free with no effort involved didn't meet your pie in the sky expectations.

Black Templars are probably the bombenest chapter around. Most swag, coolest tactics, glory out the ass, could probably roflstomp any other faction if all their crusades got together except GW retconned their numbers down to around a little above 1000 wtf man and we dont even have a codex either fuck

But the Ultra hate is ridiculous. They're aesthetic as fuck and have cool tactics. Ultra Gladius is the bane of my local store though.

I guess you will have to bait them into favourable battles with your stack spam. Ambush stance might be helpful(to get the enemy armies to move around)

Also you could try and go against the Empire straight away.

I've found Dwarves rout pretty fast if you surround them, which is easy to do with goblin hordes. They'll fight for a bit, but if you can surround them and kill their Lord then they run just like anyone else.
It's easier to assassinate a Lord with an agent then start a battle than it is to actually kill the lord in combat though.


>>168547952
That just makes it worse, honestly. Especially since it still hasn't been fixed yet while they pump out more Vampire content.

>>168548014
That's a fucking cop out and no other game on the planet does that. Blood DLC is unmitigated cancer and has no right to exist. It cannot be defended, there's nothing to defend here.
>>
I think it's ok to cut out a small part of your game and make it pre-order bonus DLC, because preorder sales are extremely important for the health of any development team. SEGA gets some money up front and can reinvest it and therefor is more likely to think of CA as a sound, safe and stable investment in the future. If you have to wait until release, you might lack some liquid assets in the meantime or things could go wrong with the release and even if you patch any issue that might come up, you'll lose a lot of money.

WoC was too large a part though. Fuck you SEGA.

I think the people complaining about cut content is legit but anyone complaining about the blood dlc needs slapped, they sell it so they can actually put the damn game into certain countrys with rules against blood.

2bh they'll probably wait until the 3rd game to fully fix chaos warriors once the chaos wastes are more than just empty hellscape

The best they've done so far is add a few units and change WoC horde mechanics to be in line with the less-tedious Beastmen horde mechanics but otherwise "Awaken tribe" is still retarded and broken

They EASILY could have created a separate version to be sold to people in countries with laws against this. Instead, they just found a way to make money and hide behind backwards ass laws to do so.

You know what else they could have done? Reduced the price of the base game by the price of the DLC, that way the consumer doesn't have to pay more for the full game.

Fun early game, but it's obviously disgustingly incomplete.

>>168548747
Their DLC policy is pretty mixed. You can pick and choose which additional content you want. The problem is that their vanilla releases are fucking garbage so certain DLCs are mandatory. EU3 was shit until the expansions came out, CK2 was decent but you basically need Legacy of Rome and a couple others, Vic2 was literally fucking barely playable until A House Divided, EU4 only got better than EU3 when Art of War came out, Stellaris is a fucking ridiculous incomplete meme and we don't even need to fucking talk about HOYFOUR.

>>168548965
Do you honestly think that if a country bans your game for the blood and gore, that you can get away with reintroducing blood and gore as a DLC and they'll be fine with it?

Do you honestly think that even if they tried to make their game more family friendly to be released and then add blood and gore as optional content, that they could not release it for free in countries that don't censor their games?

Do you honestly think that Germany still censors blood and gore in its games? Fallout 4 came in uncut, and that game's gore gets fucking brutal with the bloody mess perk, all previous 3D Fallouts were censored and they changed their censorship policy.

This argument is garbage and the fact that I have to list out all of these obvious fucking arguments as to why it is garbage makes me think that you're either shilling, the dude who originally posted that mental diarrhea or actually unironically a clinical idiot.

Blood DLC is always a thing because they want a T-rating for the base game.

Sega literally wouldn't let them add Chaos as the endgame without them making it a pre-order / DLC thing. It can't be cut content in this context if it never existed to begin with.

And if you're boycotting all DLC because you missed the Chaos DLC, that's retarded because it's literally the most half-assed thing in the game and you're not really missing much by not having it.

Australia, the Boers wars, the War of the Triple alliance, anything to do with Canada, the Mexican-American war and other interesting events of the 19th century would be ignored.

More than half the factions in the game rely on infantry that isn't heavily armored. Every Empire infantry that isn't Greatswords basically.
>>
>>168551025
I don't use Nigh Goblins because of their poor against armor factor. Human and Dwarf units are all extremely heavily armored save a couple units, which melt much faster to Black Orcs or Big Uns than to poison damage. They're not even good as fodder because they're fairly pricy, so their lackluster stats aren't worth using as a meatshield either.
Only thing they'd possibly be good against is Savage Orcs, but again, why not just smash em with other Orcs instead of pissy amounts of poison damage.

I use regular goblins and goblin wolf riders a lot, because they have a lot of utility. Especially GWR, best siege killers in the game. But goblins themselves are surprisingly useful too. There's enough of them to let other units flank before they shatter, and they're good pincushions as well. Plus they're pretty fast for foot units and are also good at going in behind a line and hitting engaged units in the rear.

But please, explain to me how I'm supposed to use Night Goblins, cause to me they just seem to be pretty useless.

It's not "cut content" in the context that usually applies, where a publisher forces the developer to make a planned part of the core game pre-order/DLC. That's awful and should not be endorsed.
It's legitimately cut content that would have never made it into the game that they're allowed to implement so long as they make it pre-order/DLC. That's making a deal.

>>168550983
I don't think he's wrong about the DLC being overpriced in general, or that it's wrong to boycott that sort of thing if you so feel it, but the idea of "b-but the Chaos pack, muh cut content" being a valid complaint doesn't make sense.

My last statement wasn't directed at that anon specifically, it's just in general, because I've seen people make the argument.

Irrelevant, a TWV would still have some kind of limited number of factory building slots

The UK would have the most slots at the beginning as well as start with the most developed, but the German states taken as a single unit would have the most slots overall so if you played as Prussia and annexed the other cunts and developed the factory slots you'd out industrialize the UK

Also France would still only have a single capital for 90% of their territory, to simulate how shit they were after Napoleon.

Well, I guess I should clarify.

By the time you're fighting humans as Orcs they're fielding heavy cavalry and Greatswords and heavily armored units. Early game I could see Night Goblins being useful against humans, but you don't fight humans in the early game.

>>168551840
It's cut content no matter the reason it was cut. Designed from the get go to be cut content is honestly worse if you ask me than cutting content designed to be in the base game. They're both shitty, but one is premeditated and can (and did) hurt the game, while the other is usually just cutting something minor out. Although the latter can also hurt a game significantly, like in ME3, the day 1 DLC cut out tons of content if you didn't buy Bugman and I don't think that was premeditated cut content.

And I am saying that the overall campaign map would poorly represent the age of industrialization and colonization. There is a reason why Medieval 2 stops at the beginning of European colonization and Empire begins after all the juicy conquests of native empires have ended. Total War doesn't simulate colonial empires and wars over trade routes very well, regardless of its ability to simulate military tactics on the battlefield.

Has the campaign map ever been anything other than a thin narrative to string together battles? This isn't Paradox, we're here for tactical-level warfare. The stuff that CA could do with the modernization of artillery, rifles, eventually machine guns... the changes in infantry fighting formations, the bigger size of armies. There's so much to work with, and that's not even considering the naval side of things which would be completely new for a TW title once the first battleships start showing up.

I think you're being extremely intellectually lazy regarding the possibilities of a strategic campaign. Vic2 and Pride of Nations being good examples. You don't have to build an entire AGEOD game, you just make a regular campaign that is more affected by economy and politics. Geopolitical struggles follow the same rules. You can even abstract the colonial aspect of things if it's that big of a concern.

They are not though. They consist of exiles from Tilea, Estalia, Bretonnia, Empire and Kislev.

>>168553440
New stream with Isabella. Vlad and Isabella are becoming their own faction whose goal is to unseat Manfred and conquer the Empire for themselves.

I'm assuming since Carcasonne is at least half-confirmed and the Von Carstein faction is 100% confirmed while Mousillon is just reasonable speculation due to the Red Duke being added in Anon decided to only add the starts which are at least partially confirmed.

With Mousillon and Middenland we'd have 19 starts, 11 if you didn't own any DLC.

Victoria Total War simply isn't happening because CA doesn't want to try, it's that simple. Maybe you can get a job at CA and convince them otherwise.

Not necessarily better but it means that Bretonnia will be released fully fleshed out with starting positions across the length and breadth of its territory with each providing a certain unique challenge (Orcs, Norscan raiders, Marienburg in Couronne, Mousillon in Bordeleaux and Beastmen/Wood Elves in Carcasonne)

Obviously Morghur being in Drakwald will be the same kind of unique challenge when Middenland is added in.
>>
>>168554436

Unfortunately most of the Empires characters lords on TT were just generals of the Empire with runefangs, barded horses and slightly better stats. (Leitdorf, Helborg, Franz)

The only possibly cool thing they could do with Helborg is reflect his supreme marshal prowess through his red skill tree and campaign effects. Basically make him the Empires version of Vlad von Carstein.

Kinda weird that it ends up as Morghur when Khazrak fits better. I understand placing Khazrak far from Middenland is better from a gameplay perspective though(You get a journey too your campaign objective and so on)

When you are not playing as the beastmen the AI will usually start at Khazraks starting position in Estalia so it works out. The Morghur position is a potential beastmen respawn location.

I'm considering making a mod for Warhammer that makes Legendary Lords more unique, and more fitting Generals of armies. I want to make it clear that the LL's own stack is his elite standing army, warriors extremely loyal to him, and as huge battles demand - additional stack (levies) would come in and it plays out like that.

Things like:

>The more battles a Legendary Lord has won, the higher starting rank newly recruited units will have. For example, if the LL has won 10 battles, recruited units will have +2 rank starting out. The LL's own personal army should be elite compared to most in the campaign.
>Secondary stacks led by regular Lords that are close to a Legendary Lord gain a leadership boost, based on the level of the LL. A level 1 Legendary Lord will provide a very small boost while a level 30 Legendary Lord will provide a huge boost. More experienced/renowned Generals have always inspired higher morale than is regular.
>Unique stat buffs based on how well the Legendary Lord performs in his role during the battles. Certain generals lead from the front, inspiring their armies with acts of valor and strengths, while others played the role of tactician and commanded form the rear. Karl Franz will boost the melee attack and defense of nearby units the more enemies he slays. Balthasar Gelt will boost the morale or vigour of his entire army depending on how many enemies he has negatively affected with his spells.
>Unique traits to certain Legendary Lords to make them stand out further - If Karl Franz routs in battle, 3 units near his vicinity become Unbreakable for the duration of the game, fighting to the death to protect their Emperor, etc.
>If a unit in your LL's personal stack has been around for a very long time, it will eventually be transformed into a Regiment of Renown, gaining further stat boosts and unique attributes. The conditions to unlock this would be how many enemies this unit has killed, how much damage the unit has taken over-time, etc.

But that instant recruit aspect is a huge. I think they make the game worse overall. You can field a huge army instantly. And they'll come back even if they get wiped out, which also bugs me.

They are going to pair Beastmen with Wood Elves in a single pack for $8. Thus, Warriors of Chaos will be paired with Bretonnia for $8.

Tell me about Raise Dead. How are you supposed to actually get higher tier units out of it?

>>168566667
Why peasants still peasants after years of looting and getting spoils of war? Most armies in the real world that used peasants had them going up the echelons with each years and each battles fought.

Think polybian legions.

Velites (poor as fuck peasants) => Hastati (getting enough money to buy armor) => Principes (enough money to buy small estate + good armor) => Triarii (enough money for large estate + slaves + watching scrubs getting killed in front of you)
>>
>>168566918
Early sieges against walls are pretty awful in the early game. I usually just starve them out with a large enough infantry force since that don't break the bank and it's not like I'd have the money to get the settlement going even if I did capture it.
It's bad to fight too much with the Empire early on anyways. Much easier to go for Confederation and once you're big start subjugating the realms that don't fall in line.

You've got enough on your plate exterminating the greenskins and preparing to take out the Counts than to get to infighting with other human lands. And you always gotta watch out for the knife ears.

>>168567609
I haven't had any issues with them yet since they mostly keep to themselves instead of taking over a quarter of the map by turn 50. Is it likely that the Brettonia update will make some balance changes though? Have they done anything similar with Rome 2 and Attila?
>>
>>168567620
Skulkers smoke bombs can slow them down if they try to charge in or run off, rusty arrers and gobbo artillery can take a chunk out of them, squigs or trolls have the ap required to deal with most cav but may need support
also goblin shamans can slow them/weaken their charge with Gork'll fix it (to say nothing of their melee buffs and debuffs)

You can use Goblin screening units to protect the flanks and such, then use a stronger unit to hit the Cavalry in the rear once they're engaged.
As long as your goblins are near your commander they shouldn't break before you can maneuver another unit over.

I would imagine in the assumed Chaos-focused third game, they would make Chaos sub factions for each Chaos god, and the faction leader for the Nurgle force would be the Glottkin.

There's already End Times stuff in the game though.

I mean, Archaon showing up is literally the End Times. He's got all the chaos artefacts, has a host of the Chaos Gods at his back etc etc.

What? No. Archaon showing up is Storm of Chaos from the fucking '90s. Just because he also made an appearance in the End Times books doesn't mean his presence in the game is indicative of the End Times.

Archon is pretty lackluster honestly.

I had 4 full stacks of top tier troops just mowing down the Chaos Incursions, then Archon shows up and.... he's got a slightly better but still honestly mediocre army. I was expecting like, 4-5 full stacks, and was rotating two more armies up that had finally pacified the southern regions, and then his dinky little army won't even attack me. I was expecting the End Times to be more...Endy.

Its fucking amazing at cleaning up routing enemies and you can essentially erase stacks of the board if you play out after the battle Otherwise you'll have to fight another battle and you might not be able to win that one depending on your own losses.

Light cav is always amazing in any total war game.

Playing empire and using them to take out enemy cannons taught me just how important the right amount of cavalry in just the right place can be.

the various Wolf units in Total Warhammer are probably the best Light Cavalry in a total war game for cost
their turning is amazing; they disengage to wheel and charge again; they can harass 3 archer units simultaneously with good micro
if you play chaos they get poison which absolutely wrecks unarmoured archers; if you play vampire counts they cause fear which makes them amazing flankers in every battle
they can successfully chase down cavalry archers
they get vanguard deployment and hide in woods so they're also great at laying ambushes or jumping out as your units come into range of enemy archers

I've disrupted so much archery and artillery with dire wolves; ruined so many formations and caused so many routs
Only problem is they're useless against dorfs

>>168575892
Also, Kislev isn't really Russia. It's inhabited by two distinct ethnicities; Gospodars, which are your archetypical Polish-Lithuanian hussars and nobles, and Ungols, which are Hunnic/Scythian/Mongol nomadic horse archers. Both traditionally cavalry oriented nations. Gospodars inhabit the cities, Ungols inhabit the plains, but both ethnicities are Kislevite.

For some reason more of my dudes get killed when they're in formation for some reason.

Are you guys ready for a battle report, While I was making these I realized I could just as well make webms of the entire battle and share them with you like that. And Each webm will start where the other has left off, and each webm will be given a chapter title.

>>168579627
I honestly do it so I can see what a unit is. I have to lay down because I hurt my back, so I'm a good 10 feet from my monitor.

Projectile trails help a lot with identifying archer units without having to squint or zoom in. I turned them off in Shogun, but that was before I fucked my spine.

My monitor is also a large flat screen tv, if it was a traditional monitor I'd be right fucked for most vidya.

What do I do with all of these armies as the Empire? I've only ever really used two armies on the offensive so far with a third in reserve for responding to threats but after confederating three of the electors I now have eight armies and I feel like I am wasting them by just sitting them in border provinces and continuing to use my main two for offensive operations.

The knights of Bretonnia having not yet found an equal on the field of battle having bested both the centigor horde and the famed Reiksguard are now eager to face their toughest foe yet. The Grails knights will end the debate right here and now. The knights begin their charge however the horses tread as if in muddy ground.

the men recoil in fear. the dead of the beastmen begin to animate once more rising unnaturally from their stillness. the peasants and the knights have been surrounded by the undead beastmen. Ambushed by the same beastmen twice is only something a middenlander would do.

What was thought to be a simple cavalry probing attack is quickly becoming an undead zombie horde.

All around them more undead rise from the slain beastmen. armless ungors joining the mobs of zombies. Minotaur corpses rising into the ranks of the crypt horrors. The Damsel of the lady can do nothing to stop the foul magics as both the Grey wizard and Vlad begin chanting their fould incantations. Only the lady's blessing saves the pure grail knights souls from being dragged into eternal torment.

The knights of the realm move in to Reinforce allowing the grail knights to dis engage and find those Blood knights.

Removes any faction identity and difficulty by having everyone make lots of money and having units cost little to no upkeep. It's an easy mode cheat mod, basically. Adds in fanfic tier units that are historically inaccurate or lore unfriendly in the case of Warhammer. It's just popular because it's popular. Nobody really knows why, it's not good, but it's massively popular. I think it's like this - "I liked the mod for Rome 2, so I'll get Attila's version" kind of thing, without actually looking at what it does. The equivalent of pre-ordering a game from a developer who once made a game you like.
>>
>>168584846
Wow, yeah, that sounds like shit. You gotta be memeing me, how would something like that get popular in the first place?
>>
>>168584720
His products are by far the most popular and enduring, which means they get the most exposure, which means other people are often discouraged from trying to do it themselves since they can't compete. He has an effective monopoly on the whole "add more units" thing, except his ideas are universally awful. Out of character, out of place, inaccurate, fantastical, nonsensical. He just throws stuff together without caring about how it fits.
>>
>>168584846
>>168584720
Ahistorical units that give every faction every type of unit and making the game easier. Those seem to be the biggest issues I see mentioned here.
>>
>>168584936
People find a tactic that works, and latch on to it so instead of changing their tactics to suit the new army and play style. They change the army to suit their tactics.

But this appeals to casuals who think more units = better mod.
>>
>>168584936
Because of the sheer mass of content he adds. Even if it's all trash, people are drawn to the idea of adding 200 new units to the game.

I'm the guy from before asking if Attila was any good, holy shit going from Warhammer to this! The armies are made out of paper, a unit can get wiped out in literally a few seconds by another, and the ragdoll physics are ridiculous. People think this is good?

I installed a mod that slows down combat by 80% and it was much more fun.

Vanilla Rome 2 and Atilla have some of the fastest combat in the series. Much to the chagrin of almost everyone, the most viable tactic in the game was to be Sparta, wait until you can get Spartans, then make a doomstack and run them at anything until they were full veteran.

I came from WH to Attila as well and it took me a while to get used to it. Ranged units absolutely destroy (unless they are archers that don't have 200 range).

Starting as the British in this kinda sucks dick cause their starting units have fuck all health and everything they fight does loads of damage. Gotta figure out what units to upgrade to ASAP. Armoured units are king in Attila's early game.

And that's the battle report. I actually like this webm system of posting a battle.

this one wasn't hard. or anything. and you can see from the map here >>168577041 how the action was all confined to that one little forest.

And yeah that mini map is the entire battle sped up to 4x speed. Incase you wanted to see an over view And it also shows you that I wasn't just focused on my own battle. There literally wasn't anything but that one little battle.

I held that flank with that dwarf bro with his bombers like a god damn champ even if it cost me my entire force

battle summary is here

>letting Mannlet have Drakenhof

Really though, that's not a bad idea. Vlad starts in Templehof, Mannlet starts in Drakenhof. Mannlet's start changes from "beating those templehof cunts" to "beating dad at his own game" and you once you take Templehof you can force Vlad into your LL roster.

Schwartzhoffen can stay neutral, that way we get 4 vampire factions.

Meanwhile, the Empire gets a new unit, but it can only be recruited in one province with a special building that needs a T5 settlement before it can be built.

And the unit is shit.

So guys did you like this format? Would you like more of these.

It wasn't too hard and in other battles i could see these being a lot easier to make. And next time I could try to make the webms before I post them so that they can be posted faster.

I just want to share my games in a non cancerous way. I miss chatting about my favorite moments of a game post battle when playing warhammer.

And obviously I won't do this every time since that's 12minutes and 45 seconds of replay and it took 16 webms to post. but most games aren't as event rich as this one.

Also by posting these it'll hopefully make me better at capturing action in frame.

I'm like that with a lot of things in this general. Like the rolling thing we're doing right now. I haven't "rolled," but I've been reading each post to see what people get.

>>168587104
also rolling.

>>168587316
Was good anon. Minimap webm put it in context. Is there a way to make your camera sweeps smoother in the replays?

Holy shit. That sounds metal as fuck. It's like a bunch of screaming, angry skeletons pounding themselves against walls and gates until they break.

Absolutely S P O O K Y

>>168587316
It was enjoyable.

A lot of people are afraid of contributing because they don't get validation when they post their campaigns, but I can assure you there are always people in here that have fun following them.

But you didn't shut anything down because there are clearly slavic-sounding settlements like Zvorak. In fact I didn't even assert they were only slavs you illiterate, I said they included multiple influences like Greek and Transylvanian Saxon as part of them being a rough approximation of southeastern Europe.

I've only just started casting and making videos. So i'm still learning. I was awful in my first videos now that i look at them. I was trying to copy other youtubers. But then I shot this https://youtu.be/141RTB-60vE and realized that battle kino is found shown, not told. Also that you don't piss off encoders if you don't move the camera.

>>168588243
yeah I was a quick little idea that just came to me and it worked well.

Don't worry, a lord pack for Duke Amalric the Undead-Slayer and Mallobaude will fix that!

Frankly she strikes me as a really really dumb girl

She's not even an SJW, she's just a lazy slob with a gay brother which spurred her to have an opinion on politics
