>>386749582
It helps that CA have actually hooked people with their faction DLC release that's actually good and the sequel is 1 month away

woah...

>>386749876
Even if CA is not lying and there's a separate team working on a historical title, there's now way it's going to get released way after the second TWWH game.

Even then, seeing the quality of the TWWH game, I would not want a separate team to work on the historical title, if I was a history title fan.

It's not an RTS though...

>>386750191
I feel similarly. They should just stick to whatever fantasy setting they want and just stop pretending to be doing anything even close to historical.

>if it's not a gook clicker it's not a RTS

>>386750286
Nah, what I meant is that they should have the same team work on the historical title after they're done with Warhammer, because Warhammer is really fucking good.

>>386750290
There literally is not real time strategy.
The strategy bit is turn based.
The real-time bit is tactics.

>>386750373
Alright.
Yeah I liked Warhammer as well.
It was the first good TW since Medieval 2. Whenever they try to be historical they produce complete shite, so they should just stick to some fantasy setting was my point.

Attila is one of the better games in the series imo

>>386749582
>this game
>an rts

how

its more of a real time slam your army square into the enemy army square and zoom in 400% then lean back and watch what happens

>>386750472
Of course there's strategy involved, just not in the battles.
That is what the words mean, you being a little faggot about it won't change that.

>>386750583
>No strategy at all in battle
Honestly fucking kill yourself

>>386750562
I was always told it's horribly janky and nothing really works together.
But I took my own advice after seeing Rome 2 play out that I won't get another historical one so I have no personal experience with it.

>>386749582
>GPU is recommended specs

>35fps in diplomacy menu
Tried with the lowest setting possible... gained 2fps.

>>386750643
Then tell us about these mystical immense and meaningful strategic elements in the battles.

>>386750476
What the fuck are you talking about?
WH is a step down from Attila, and a dumbification of the series under every single aspect
Medieval 2 was (almost) the worst total war game along with empire and rome2

>>386750902
Of course it's fucking dumb. And the next one will be even dumber.
But it works because it's Warhammer and not supposed to be anything where one would have to expect "sense".

>>386750476
>Whenever they try to be historical they produce complete shite
That's because they are shit developers.

Since Rome every game they released had bad optimization and/or full of bugs and TWW is the most simplified game in the series.
>Muh factions
That's from the lore not from CA

Does it have a SP campaign with some story thrown it? Aka SC, DoW, C&C and such?

MORATHI IS DIRTY

>>386750643
He's right; it's tactics. Total war is turn based strategy, real time tactics

>>386750880
picking artillery tactics to fit each artillery's strong suits anti large/anti infantry while also managing the angle at which the artillery can be used so you don't hit your units, using artillery to finish off routing units so they don't come back.
Using unbreakable/ weak units to buy time for range to do more damage.
Managing your hero items and support character's offensive/defensive spells for maximum effect.
Seige battles and the unique strategy opportunities those give you for creative flanks and managing bottlenecks to wear out the other army first.
Unique fantasy units like giants/pegasus/ gyrocopters make the fighting every army different.

I have 30 hours and I'm a racing game fag and but this game is pretty unique and intresting.

How is Norsca?

>>386751298
If you get the version that has wood elves and beastmen they do have their own campaign. But there's a loose story going on regardless of who and as what you play.

>>386751787
Those are all tactics, you retard.

>>386750902
>dumbification of the series under every single aspect
Except in the tactical depth department due to the emergency of completely new unit types and tactics. You know, the only thing that actually matters.

>>386752772
>emergency
*emergence

I started playing AOE2 again.
so hard, the comps get to castle age in 5 minutes and buttfuck me with their armies.
I'm just gonna cheat like usual.

It's sad that the campaign has become more and more basic, but battles have never been better.

Only real problem is sieges are shit, thanks to the boring 1 wall settlements

The only stepdown are the sieges, nobody fucking plays TW for the campaign map, the people are in for the battles, otherwise paradox does grand strategy far better.

What's a good concise way to define the TW series?

RTTTBS?

>>386752056
really nice looking models
probably some of the best and most accurate to date.
makes me very optimistic for Skaven, Ogre Kingdom, Tomb Kings and Chaos Dwarfs

>>386753427
>>386753141

everybody wishes it was something else. but that's not the problem the problem is the game is blatantly unfinished

>>386750643
god damn how did you get to be this fucking stupid? do you hit your head with a hammer every morning? jesus christ hang yourself and spare us from having to read anything you might write in the future

So my game just patched even though I did not buy the Norsca DLC yet. Does this mean I get the free regiments of renown for every previously non-covered race? I have the Grim and the Grave, by the way.

good

>>386751787
half of those points are more of a feature list than a description of tactics, the rest is a description of tactics.

A strategy is a long term plan, like what you will try to achieve in battles, exterminating ranged or flying units, so you can later dominate in that category, or using a tiny army that is cut off to lure a big one into a bottleneck where you can sell their deaths as expensively as possible, or what you are going to take into battle, tactics is what you do in the moment you arrive in battle to achieve the strategy you envisioned.

>>386754605
Yes. But you may need to go to totalwar access to get it.

>>386754605
Buying the game simply lets you play as them. You get to face the new Norscan units otherwise.
Plus there's a minor patch for all the other factions.
To get the new RoR, you have to activate it here for whatever bullshit reason: https://www.totalwar.com/regimentsofrenown/

Nah it'll be the Renaissance/Age of Discovery. Only remaining significant time period they haven't covered. Bridges the gap between Med 2 and Empire.

Never in a thousand years. Chink settings will never sell and Chinks won't buy it themselves, because videogames depicting Chinkland that are not made by Chinks are banned in Chinkland.
