I didn't play any Total War for something like 3 months. It's good to be back.

Will Bretonnia try to capture Marienburg quickly? I'm on turn 5, seperatists still have one province, but I already sent force in jews direction to outrun frenchmen, hopefully my second army will deal with seperatists and reinforce Karl in turn or two.

I want to expand on Bretonnia and liberate peasants rather than fight with elector cunts anyway, but i want to delay this a bit.

>>182287094
The fun is in economy management. Because you'll need it when chaos invades because their basic chaos corruption building costs ten fucking thousand.

I don't know. I just ignored it and built breweries. Maybe you're supposed to use Thanes. Or maybe you're supposed to turn every capital building into a military building so you can have level 2 forges everywhere and recruit the runemasters to cleanse corruption.

But I thought they were fun. Every unit has a defensive and shielded variety and an armor piercing >>>>>charge bonus variety. Just get rangers with great weapons. Holy fuck. They can throw them right over your lines. You don't even need to flank and they'll chew everything up. A dozen chaos armies don't stand a chance in the underway.
>>182290091
Making alliances with Stirland and Talabecland is fine because when they get into war with the vamps you can just confederate them. Just don't ally anyone else... mostly because you want to war them to take their land faster.

Question for any lore buffs here, are Skaven the type of race to have fielded armies? From what I've read about them, they seem like the type to march in their tunnels than on the fields, but then again, I don't have too much knowledge about them. Really just asking if it's realistic or not for a Skaven army to be on the march on land.

Bretonnian knights are always mounted if that is an option, with an exception of a few cases where prolific knights take a vow that lets them go on foot acceptably. So no dismounted knights outside of Paladins and Lords. I know, it kind of sucks, but it's their character. Highest tier infantry are foot squires.

>>182294254
They almost always take tunnels and attack from below settlements. It would be unusual for them to be found in a field battle of any sort.

>>182295162
Blame the tabletop, where they didn't even have the squires. Their whole gimmick is/was as much cav as humanly possible. This may have been lessened had they had a 7th or 8th edition update which gave them new units like the other factions, but they didn't, so the backwards Bretonnians truly were left behind with nothing but a 6th edition rulebook.

When CA added them to Total War, they added a few units but kept the cav focus:
Peasant Mobs
Foot Squires
Royal Pegasus Knights
Hippogryph Knights

>>182295326
*provided you're not on very hard and above

Foot squires are pretty good, just be sure to get the inexplicably popular dead knight on a stick to buff their leadership.

Prince of Macedon here

Quick march was a mistake.
I am so fucking tired of reaching an army at the edge of my attack range and them fleeing and I have to chase them for 15 turns or hire a whole 2nd army. Can't cheap out on that 2nd army though because he's not running because he's weak, he's running because he's weaker than the army you've had the whole game. You know, the one with your best units.

God fucking damn it. Or you should be able to attack on quick march. Yes you'll be winded but it works both ways. If the AI catches you then you can try to turtle and use their exhaustion against them, whereas when you're the player you just want the fucking raiding army dead, doesn't matter how many die, your units likely won't wipe so you can recover later.

Or maybe I just don't understand underway intercepts. Every fucking time I'm right next to him, can't get closer because of ZoC, even though I'm attacking. But the fucking beast fuckers teleport away.

Keep a happy population, or flick tax management on your cities. Rebels only appear after 2 consecutive turns of unrest or incitement by a religious agent.

My tips for avoiding an unhappy population:
Keep and honorable daimyo
Don't tax above level 2 (-4 per providence)
Invest in monastaries/high level monks/sake dens so that each city is 100% your given religion
For religiously "Toxic" clans, like the Ikko Ikki or Ottomo, wipe them out ASAP.
Build high-level castles if you can afford it (not always an option unless you have a good chokehold on the trade nodes).
If all else fails, garrison low-cost ashigaru units to keep cities in check.

What do you guys think of Legendary Lords remastered?

I'm quite liking it, it goes abit over-board with the buffs on some caster lords, like Gelt and Kemmler, but I suppose any campaign with Manny is basically unlosable, even on legendary. VC have always been ultra ez mode.

I'm generally in favour of stuff which boosts the core factions. It's pretty irritating when you're 120 turns in and Ostland is twenty times stronger than Empire.

Some of the other stuff just feels right, such as Khazrak now having vanguard deployment.

I left Gascony for a fucking year, and the Franks come down and fuck everything up. What was once my 2nd best economic province has been lost to the Franks, with Charlemagne the Carolingian Cunt himself reviving the Duchy of Gascony.

I took the city back through the use of a night attack, and now the Franks have brought as many armies as they could to try and re-claim the city. If they do, I'm going to have to pull back from the pseudo-reconquista to deal with these fucking twats. The only reason they are still alive is that auto-resolve loves their army comps for whatever reason + I didn't want my borders to go far enough north to where I would destroy them.

And of course, the reason my army left in the first place - to aid the Asturians in taking a walled settlement that they seemed to be having trouble with - immediately turned out to be a waste as instead of taking the weakened city after I sieged/sacked it, they sent their army north, embarking it onto the Atlantic. If they were going to be retards they could have sent it south and at least pretended to be helping in the war meant to bring them to relevance in Spain

Yeah the spaniards have been lazy cunts (surprise surprise) while the Papal States and the Taifa of Barcelona have been doing most of the work. Its incredibly frustrating because the Asturians have the buildings for armored swords and other better troops, while the Taifa of Barcelona and the Papal Army have been running around with basic tier one unarmored shit stacks and doing much better. I've even been giving the Asturians gifts to try and get them to build more/stronger armies, but idk what the fuck they are doing with the god damn money

One of the most important parts of the battle happens almost immediately - the makeshift barricades set up by the defenders block off one of the 3 entries into the town square, where the defenders have holed up. The longer the barricades stay up, the better. To this end archers are deployed to defend the barricade, firing from point blank on the attackers trying to break through it.

How do you get your army to march forward in the exact position you had them deploy in?

With space within the town square limited, the Lombard cavalry is instead assigned to the fields surrounding the settlement. The light skirmish cav is sent to harass artillery pieces, scout out enemy positions, and deal with any reinforcements trickling into the battle that they can handle. The Lombard Horsemen have one of the hardes jobs of any of the men in the battle - to wait. If they make their attack too soon, the enemy will be strong enough to fight them off and repel them. If they wait too long to strike, the enemy will overrun the defenders in the city and the battle will already be lost.

Before the battle, Desiderius, the Lombard general, noted that the western entryway to the town square would allow for excellent supporting fire from ranged troops for the men guarding it. Theorizing that most of the attacker's casualties would come from ranged fire, and not from melee combat with the defenders, he decided to task the lightly armored spearmen with holding the position.

His theory was quickly proved correct

While holding all of those buttons you can also hold Ctrl to turn it though the center of the formation may be weird if you're selecting soldiers that aren't exactly in a line. Like if they're in a half circle or something.

The battle rages on - the western group has succeeded in routing off the Frankish forces attacking there, but at the expense of all of the ammo that the archers had. The southern defense is close to breaking, with the only Gastalds in reserve sent in to reinforce in preparation for their inevitable collapse. The group in the north may be able to win their melee fight against the remaining franks, but even if they do they may simply get obliterated by massed javelin fire. In the east outside the town, the Lombard cavalry have been singling out and destroying Frankish cavalry that has been slowly trickling onto the battlefield.

The good news is that the Franks are out of reinforcements - any units that rout or break off of the field will not be replaced

She's obviously craving some human blood and maybe a virgin lad or two to titfuck. Better send out to her m8.

Here is the dwarf colony building. I plan on making it a sort of mini settlement that adds a garrison to the main settlement, trade income boost and a minor boost to dwarf relationships per building level.
The plan is to recolonize the badlands after you retake it from the orcs.

y doe

SEGA want you to buy the better game for less, good for them.

>>182334924
keep a few 'buffer heros back in your settlements'while deployed they can increase your money earned per turn, reduce corruption(and fight those shits agents who decide to drop by)

>>182336031
Probably because attila sold poorly and Rome 2 didn't

Rome 2 settings > Attila

>>182336031
It's hundred percent because of their names and settings. Attila is a strict upgrade from Rome 2 yet more people is playing Rome 2 even now.

Maybe they should've called is Barbarian Invasion 2 instead of Attila.

The only fun thing about dwarves is burning greenskins with irondrakes or blowing them up with ironbreakers/gryos.

If you choose grombrindal you get to do this from turn 1.

>>182337135
Fall of Rome would probably work better, like Fall of the Samurai

That way all the faggots who want to larp as Rome can go "look ma, I saved da empire from da attilas!"

But then we'd probably end up with church music as the themesong to the game instead of throat singing and I just can't get behind that.

God, I'm so disappointed with Chaos Warriors.

I was expecting cool demon army and they are a bunch of crappy mutated vikings instead. And their campaign is boring as fuck.

I really hope they do Daemons better in TWWH3.

>>182337527
Tree Kin as your indomitable anvil
Wild Riders are your dynamic all purpose cavalry (your most important units here)
Hawk Riders are flying light shock cav for anti-artillery and back charges (set them to melee mode)
Tree Men so Durthu has some mates to go to the pub with later
Forest Dragon for aesthetics
Great Eagle for aesthetics

Well yeah, it's still the United Kingdom, only green and with a red dragon instead. I only take out England when I play Wales. After that it gets pretty stale.

Daemons is a separate army.

That's literally what they are and that's cool, but the WoC campaign is fucking trash

>I really hope they do Daemons better in TWWH3.
Same, I want to fuck the world with crazy Blood Daemons, wobbly Change Daemons, disgusting and rotting Plague Daemons and hideous Sex Daemons.
Gimme some Eldritch Chaos Horrors!

Sounds neat. Could you add some more legendary buildings to other Karaks as well? Dwarfs/Greenskins are really lacking in legendary buildings compared to humans and VC.

>Great Horn of Karak Hirn (bonus to siege holdout, public order and garrison)
>Foundries of Zhufbar (Recruitment bonus to engineers, thunderers, artillery and gyrocopters)
>Forges of Karak Azul (Recruitment bonus to runesmiths and melee infantry)
>Port of Barak Varr (Port on steroids, like Marienburg)
