There's a couple siege maps I do like playing, the square corner one when sieging Dorfs/Greenies is good fun, as there's good room inside the walls for mauneoauvres. However the shallow interior maps for human settlements are really rrrrrrrrough.

there are a few key cities that you need to fortify as the WRE to avoid keeping armies there, its the entire eastern border and that one south-eastern port-city on the british isles, as long as you build the garrison buildings and improve the main settlement tier you should have a sufficient garrison there to defeat any attacking army, its entirely possible to have walls on the entire border before Attila takes over

State of the Empire as of the Summer of 412AD

The Vikings keep coming to Britain via sea, and with no navy they keep landing and getting destroyed by Sextus Perennis, who has held Britain all by himself for a while now.

The Huns are the main threat in the east, and unfortunately every time I fight them their armies end up getting destroyed, which means they get brand new ones with high-tier units, instead of running off and recruiting a bunch of shit-tier germanic mercs. To combat the Huns, the provinces of Pannonia, Dalmatia, and Raetia et Noricum have all had garrison buildings put in place, as well as garrison armies to defend them. I've also got a couple of spies to try and track new hordes as they pour in from the steppes. Maxima Sequanorum is my main military recruitment province, although I haven't really made use of it for my armies yet, since I can't afford to pull them away from the limes in the east.

I'm back to making around 6k/turn, and have been spending it on building public order buildings throughout the empire so that I can pull the 3 legions down south in spain/africa up north to fight on the front lines. Right now they are needed down south to patrol provinces and put down any rebellions that spawn.

So far the only territory I have lost from the starting provinces is Sirmium, which proved to be indefensible, as the rivers surrounding it made it impossible for armies from Sopianae to reinforce it.

This is where I end it now. Can't play too much at night or I risk having dreams about scout equites and hunnic large onagers

This is not the age of peace I was promised!

So I finally gave Warhammer TW a shot with the recent crack, and this game feels like real time Heroes of Might and Magic. The strategy layer has been reduced, and doubly so for certain factions who have no business forming alliances. The overworld map looked great from what I could tell, I played as the Von Carstein's and the detail on Sylvania was awesome with the two skulls etched into a mountain sculpture. All the equipment and spells, really makes this game feel less like a Total War game and more like a Heroes of Might and Magic. It's a bit of a shame that not more is done with the campaign map because it looks so good.

Are there plans to include a narrative in the sequels, or having the game set in a certain time period with events taking place on the campaign map? Such as the crusades in Medieval or the Huns invading in Atilla?

>>180162951

>Dwarfs on one side.

CA has stated that TWW2 is more narrative focused than 1, so yes, sort of.

Some big old magic Vortex is doing something and all the races want to use/stop it for their own ends.

to expand on this the campaign of wh2 is focused on this vortex all the factions are fighting for control of, and more importantly you can 'lose' without being wiped out on thw world map due to that.

the mini campaigns are more narrative driven, try those out foir now anon, you unlock Boris toddbringer(in multi and skirmish by beating the beastmen mini camp, and the red duke for mousillon(for multi and skirmish) by beating wood elf mini camp

Like Empire, it's all about the time period. Although I cringe every time I remember that they removed the fucking family tree, in a game where you can choose to play as three of Rome's most important FAMILIES.

People think it was Darren responsible for all of those leaks, and maybe it was (because he admitted to some of them), but we haven't seen anything yet compared to what will happen when he becomes head of the community manager team.

>>180166468
I like the culture options and time period better for one. I don't have interest in playing or playing against 379 different horsefucker factions. While I do like the normal/ap damage break downs more in Attila, ever since I found out about "CTRL-M" last week I have little interest in playing.

>>180156704
Wulfrik is basically guaranteed at this point

>>180166468
It could be for Attila, though I think the reason people are saying it's Rome 2 is because the guy in the concept art looks like Arminius, which would set closer to Rome 2's period. Personally I'm hoping the "large" campaign pack means it'll be something like Imperator Augustus which will include some of the improvements they made in Attila.

More interested in the time period, just for starters. More variety in factions you can meet and fight. More fleshed out mods. I'll move to attila when the mods for it are finally out.

Same for empire over napoleon. I don't choose what TW to play at the moment based on gameplay (except M2, fuck M2, can't touch it anymore)

In Attila and Warhammer the "merge damaged units" ability is built into the GUI. I never realized CTRL-M does the same thing on the older games.

On second thought, Attila does do unit upgrading well, which is nice.

>>180166837
>I'll never be convinced out of the idea

I honestly feel like Imperator Augustus covers the golden era of Rome fine, even though it doesn't really cover it, it's close enough and depicts what needs to be depicted.

A full Europa map during that period would just be Attila without the falling Rome, aka boring.

No, no, no. I seem to be miscommunicating. Quality of life stuff like that is one reason I grudgingly playing Atilla over Rome 2 or Shogun 2. See, since it was a key shortcut in older games instead of a built in GUI thing, I didn't know it was there.

Finally got the Sassykids in the ropes. They paid me 30 000 gold for a peace treaty which i'm going to break again in 10 turns. Used the time to deal with public order issues in my recently captured provinces. Illyria and the Gepids were fighting each other in the north. Illyria was about to get wiped out so they gladly accepted when i offered to turn them into my puppet state in exchange for declaring war on the Gepids. Few turns later i beat the Gepids and turned them into a puppet state as well. This also gave me access to iron which unlocked the Tier 4 military recruitment buildings. It's fun playing a superpower every once in a while.

Are non-ashigaru units even worth the extra cost?
I can hire three stacks of Naginata Levy (480 men total) for the same upkeep of one stack of Naginata Warrior Monks (100 men). This is even before considering the time and money it costs to research the technologies and build the Koryu school + buddhist temple.

>>180169368
looking at the economy and map position they seem to be doing just fine.

>>180168576

>>180169569
If you look at it purely for cost efficiency, upgraded ashigaru are all you'll ever need. Samurai and monks still have their uses though. Naginata samurai can soak up much more damage, katana sam can grind through everything. Naginata and bow monks have good abilities that can help you start chain routs, plus they kill much faster than ashigaru. It all comes down to your play style and buildings/tech situation.

>>180171124
Because hes on a one-tree crusade for treebensraum

>>180171194
I see

>>180171247
it came about because the wood-elves start in an area surrounded by weaker enemies and that combined with an aggressive AI stance means they tend to start getting huge swathes of territory really quick and because the AI cheats a fuckton, theres not an awful lot you can do to stop them. So you end up with tree-hitler and mel gibson shitting on a lot of things in a constant war. its just a meme.

When Wood Elves were introduced their AI had accidentally been set to max aggressiveness, resulting in them conquering half the map.

After the Bretonnian patch they're more in line with their lore: unpredictable isolationists who might backstab you at any time.

And yet, I can't allow to them to control that Mountain ridge, because else they would be able to confederate and spread their eco cancer on the Empire.

You are human trash, Diego Tyrone LeShawn de Maradona. Universally despised, derided and mocked. Your nationality and skin tone offers no hope to the world that South America can ever prosper. Crawl back in to the Brazilian jungle you came out of, you literal orangutan.
I hope you decide to sail your grandfathers skip to the Falklands and rape some sheep, as is in the negroes nature. It would still be the whitest pussy you ever had. Give Nigel and Robert a chance for some target practice, your sole use to the world. Argentinians obsession with a few windswept islands in the Atlantic is hilarious but sad. Coincidentally its the only worthwhile contribution Argentina has made to the medical field. The MUH LAS MALVINAS sentiment in the average negro Argentinian is both an early warning sign of autism in children, and early on set Alzheimer's in adults.
Take your black hairy fingers off your keyboard, and never talk about the human species again, you mockery of our supposed shared ancestor.. No amount of olive oil and wheat flour slabbed on your face every morning will make you white. It's about as delusional of an idea as your daydreams of European heritage.
You nigger.
You make Bolivia look like a beacon of civilisation.
You are the Baltimore of South America.
Go fertilise the pampas with you and your families corpses, its the best you can hope for in life. For the first time in your life, nigger, you have a job making food for beings vastly superior to yourself. Uruguayan cattle. Coincidentally, it would be the first time an Argentinian "man" provided for a family.

I've LITERALLY have Zero fucking doubt there are hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, being deposited on so-called "Total War Warhammer Fan's" PayPal accounts as we speak, from some silly SEGA subsidiary (if it was named Funtime Inc. it would be too poetic) that is too well hidden to prove anything.

This is how this happens.

This how a giant corporation kills history.

You are fucking seeing it: form opinions on people without giving them a chance to make up their mind. Medieval 2 is really an amazing accomplishment of historically accurate warfare, but it has a lot more in common with Tolstoy's War And Piece than Lord of the Rings. It is a game about humanity and not a comedy about goblins who only look like small green humans on the outside.

I think it's pretty much the first formation you can choose if Rome 2. I found it useful because the principes/further in the back legionnaires will be able to throw pilum through the gaps, but like >>180179798 said, why do that when you can just make a normal line and flank.

>>180180157
Because a lot of times if you deploy in three lines all your units will throw so many pila at the enemy that his entire first wave will barely be able to reach your lines.

>>Can't pull away units from combat without huge losses

I usually send in another unit to engage the enemy, then I pull the original unit back. It's not perfect but it works quite well.

>No news today

>>180181329
No it doesn't because the second unit just mobs up behind the first unit and pins your own unit in place

>>180181504
units can walk through each other anon

this isn't medieval 2 they don't start vibrating when they are near a wall

>>180180625
You deploy in checkerboard formation, I did a whole campaign like this and friendly fire has always been negligible, if present at all. If you really want to play it safe just tell your thirds rank to hold fire until it suits you.

>>180181498
This cant be happening

>>180179625
Define 'work'

Work as in you can do it? Yes
Work as in viable? No. Massive unnecessary losses, and moving your unit back = a immediate rear attack by the enemy.

You cant shuffle a frontline troop back as you would in real life while avoiding casualties.

>>180181551
Only very slowly unless you're on a tiny unit scale

>>180181109
I played even vanilla and combat isn't that fast if you're not talking about peasant mobs engaging meat grinders like oathsworn. You can pull away just fine if you deploy in checkerboard formation.

What's the best faction to have fun in Empire: Total War?

The British? They can conquer India and fuck around in America I guess.

>>180181498
Check again!

>>180181713
>just fine
Not him but if we are talking about what works in terms of whats best; a solid line is best.

Pulling a unit back in TW is not a feature. There is nothing to assist or make it work. And you will suffer pointless casualties for it.

>>180181713
By pulling back you will get too many unecessary losses, you'll waste a lot of time making sure the unit pulls back without reengaging and suffer the massive "attacked in the back" penalty

At most, I'd say units like peasant mobs may be the best for pulling manipular tactics, as the only way for a unit to reliably flee combat is breaking

>>180182060
Not him but hypothetically you could get it to work with guard mode

Send in unit A to charge, then once combat starts go into guard mode
Then send in unit B
Unit B should push ahead of unit A, and A should stay still
Once B pushes past A should be able to just walk backwards without being in combat

Thats only going to work if you're winning the fight and B is able to push ahead. But there is literally no reason to bother with this.

>>180181882
>>180182060
Well what's the alternative if you need to pull back a unit? Some losses staying back while the rest fall back and a new unit engages are preferable to losing the whole unit in the meatgrinder or having it finally break unsupported.

>>180182326
>Well what's the alternative if you need to pull back a unit?
You never engage a unit in a unmatched combat, unless its a calculated trade

Moving it back is a massive net loss in your power. If you have to pull a unit off a fight to move somewhere else you have tactically failed.

In a question of viability its not viable at all. The viable option is to not waste units in the first place by having to pull them out later.

Where do I go from here lads?

The Makran settlement across the strait of Homuz is heavily fortified, but since I have a fleet and an army I could starve them out quickly.
That seems impossible though because there is a Sassanid fleet nearby (I marked the approximate location in the Persian Golf)

ERE and sassy Nids are at war with each other, Judea doesn't like me much because they are at war with the ERE, but they remain neutral

>that Ulthuan gate

Golly gee

Do you think we may spot some skaven?

FUCKING
FINALLY

>>180182713
where is this frooooooooom

>>180182714
Nope. It just shows Ulthuan and Lustria.

It was quite fun until Spain, France, and Russia formed an alliance and then immediately turned on me.

Oh fuck the campaign map looks gorgeous

>>180182802
There's a lot of skaven in Lustria

>>180181783

Poland is kind of fun, lot of options of who to fight. You have Swedes to the North, Russians to the East, Germans to the West and Ottomans to the South.

>>180183004
I thought it was just Pestilence, and they got booted out by the lizardmen a while back.

fucking come on now

>>180182913
I basically blockaded all of Europe and then lost interest. They had so many armies that I couldn't be bothered to go through each one, since ETW autoresolve is so shit.

>>180181783
Brit and France let you play on the 3 maps and kill natives with superior powder weapons

>>180183004

In Quetza there is, but the whole continent isn't exactly teeming with them anymore. CA probably won't show it.

holy shit, no Under-Empire confirmed. Cancel my pre-order now.

>>180182427
This sounds more doable in MP to be honest, during campaign you can have to deal with stronger enemies and units will suffer losses even holding the line while the damage dealers do their thing. Fights can go on for long and I try not to lose my anvil units, so yes, sometimes I'll pull them back.

Lorefags, what are the 2 factions we can see on the clip?

Averlorn and Ellyrion, I think.

>>180182703
Depending on how many armies you can afford and how much attention the Nids give you you could go to war with the ERE too and conquer into Egypt

>>180183248
It's gonna be nothing but white els and lizards for the next couple months

>>180183416
>next couple months
The game comes out then anon. May was Lizards, June is HElfs, July is DElfs, and August is Skaven month heading into the final reveals and initial review copies in September.

Lovely thing is TWW1 set the format and CA has been following it.

>>180183640
Nope

20 second Elf vs Lizard quest battle part snipped 48 look for it on September 16th

>>180183640
But you also have to sqeeze the Old Friend and then the new race pack with its FLC somewhere in there.

>>180183714
The review copies will already be out by then.

>>180183743
That is on it's own thing. The last faction revealed was VC in March for a late May release. We know it's septemeber.

>>180183961
Instead of review copies they will send out a demo that includes a quest battle where lizards make war on elfs in white clothes
