Ok? You pasted a screencap related to a completely different game, I don't see any evidence of Denuvo being poorly implemented in TW:W.
I know that Denuvo can, in theory, cause problems, but that wasn't what I was asking.

>>387226756
If you're asking how it impacts this game in particular, it clearly doesn't. But its still implemented, so I won't support that practice with money. Pretty simple.
This is ignoring all the online check shit as well, granted with nailed up connections this is less of an issue, but pirates get the best version yet again, why? Its a good game, it will sell.
They wasted money on this shit which was better off put into the game.

>>387226587
>Tiny armies
Only if your graphics card can't handle them. Small compared to the fluff only, which could have an entire nation turn up for a single "battle".
Your artillery batteries run from 1 to 5 pieces with crew, and larger sizes a supporting infantry squad. Your Units run from 20 horsemen to 100 or so. Your infantry goes from 20 to 200. I loved the fact you could make it tabletop or battlefield with a graphics option.

>>387226942
I get your point. But why not support the games that implement it well and not support the games that implement it poorly, though? Throwing all Denuvo games under the bus just because some of them implement it poorly seems counter intuitive to me.

Till the fucking internet collapses on itself.

You can't even have a proper discussion on here /twg/ about any of the historical Total War games like you could beforehand. I don't necessarily hate the game because it's bad or it's a fantasy title, or what-not, since I haven't played it, but all these fucking newfags come in and completely obliterate any discussion of the past games really makes me hate the game on principal. The fact that CA is still on their DLC binge is only making matters worse. The only place to talk about the old games without getting a bunch of mouth-breathing retards joining in is >>>/his/.

>>387227416
You gotta understand that after Warhammer got completely destroyed and shat on HARD by Age of Sigmar, that this game comes out, not only is it pretty fucking great, but also a big contender for the single BEST Warhammer game ever made, the fans are going to flock to it. This game is basically the saving grace for WHFB fans, and though the DLCs are obviously overpriced and plentiful, its nothing people aren't used to if they were already invested in the tabletop game to begin with.

Hard to see with the compression they've got. If it's on the same scale as TW:W It looks too small, but since the map is half the world having the same scale would present problems for movement unless your units could move 5 times the distance.

That's great and all and I'm certainly glad that y'all got something to enjoy. I just wish that it didn't come at the expense of my enjoyment when CA rides the Games Workshop money-train. Now I'm going to have to play autistic Bob Ross simulators to play pretend soldiers, and they're boring as fuck compared to Total War.

>>387225276

I don't understand, I just can't comprehend how they made a sequel for this, which looks and plays almost exactly the same and also releasing it within such a short time span.

How do people not see this? You're buying exactly the same game, the way it should have been from the start with a bit more content but still tons of DLC, at a premium.

HOW?

>>387228135
>Man 'O War: Corsair stops that from happening because GW thinks that game will be invalidated if TW:H has naval battles.
Is that really the reasoning behind it? I thought CA didn't want to implement naval combat due to bloat.

>>387228135
>that game will be invalidated if TW:H has naval battles.
It'll be invalidated by no one knowing what the fuck Corsair is. I knew of the tabletop game and I've still not heard shit about the video game beyond "oh yeah, that thing was on my follow list. Huh."

Eveytime they pull their heads out of their asses for air, they quickly jam it back in again.

>>387225698
I got the game from humble bundle and pirated the DLCs through creamAPI, best deal of my life, I support the game and I shit on their DLC policy

>>387228186
It's a standalone expansion with the same amount of content as the first game that will also join up with the first game. People get hung up about the name but it's not really that important.

>>387228242
He's not entirely correct. It's merely an issue of rights regarding naval warfare, which is a separate game on the tabletop, which CA don't have.

>>387228135
I'm pretty sure TW3 is chaos focused. Nothing apart from a name on a map and a few throwaway lines exists in regards to Cathy and Nippon and shit. They'd have to make entire factions from scratch which I doubt they'll do.

Wut? Beastie boys are shit and chaos is only good because of the amount of money they get from sacking. The recent changes actually nerfed them some since they can't come out of norsca with six figures. And the hordes never truly die for a reason. There will always be goblins and beastmen filling the forests and eventually culminating into WAAAGHS and brayherds.

No. Beastmen units are shit and the only good ones are expensive as fuck and take a long time to recruit meaning you don't get income for multiple turns.
>>infinite money

>>your enemies don't get trading goods or cities for defeating you so you're not targeted by expanding powers
That's just plain wrong. I've been chased halfway round the old world by stacks of 5 different factions when playing as beastmen.
>>free armies for being a dick
Yeah, to fit the lore of there always being more beastmen or orcs.

>>387230606
>they've kinda boxed themselves into a corner by releasing the entire fucking whfb world
Not the "Asian" continents though. Besides, rumors have it the third "expansion" will be entirely Chaos focused, with different Chaos affiliations, demons, as well as finally fully fleshing out Chaos Undivided and making it into the end of the world threat that Archeon actually is instead of the poor state the Chaos armies are in now.

With the map there first map only Dogs of War and Kislev would fit, and it surpried me that Nosrca got in before either. I was assuming Dogs would be either an add in faction/add on to the already done roster of mercenaries and that kislev would be a shoe in, but having Norsca and no Kislev?

Nope. Not even if those C.Knights were lances and rank 9 and got the charge onto one of them.

That is utterly impossible. For starters, I am pretty fucking sure chaos knights lose 1v1 to blood knights, not even speaking of two of them.

Absolutely. Large battles are a clusterfuck.

>>387227116
I'm not laying money out on the risk they have implemented it correctly, and they obviously won't give out that information freely to people, on a per game basis. I have to wait for others to buy and play it, and in the case of Nier, the reports were either from a shitty port or the implementation, there was no way to know.
They could just make a good game and leave it at that, there is no real way to combat piracy. They are just not your customers, or rather, viewing the online copy as the best advertisement possible is better.

Denuvo then becomes anti-marketing in a way, like they're trying to hide something

>>387231926
They can be fun. I think the word comfy describing a battle is pretty fucking stupid though. Also the game is balanced for large unit size and magic is too strong on small sizes and too weak on large sizes.

Literally every other unit of there's is weaker than comparable units of most other factions. They're mediocre/average at everything besides vangurad spam and minotaurs, and you can't even do both at the same time.

They're only charging 9 bucks because there's no mini-campaign and those who pre-order or buy TW:WII early get it for free. Their roster isn't that similar to WoC, apart from the theme, but yeah - they play similarly.

Everyone who pre-ordered WH2, so yeah a lot of people did. You have 8 of the exact same marauder units with different equipment and some units, for the first time in paid DLC history I think, are actually cheap reskins of units that already had been in the game (just like ROR but those are free.) So you're not entirely wrong about them getting a little lazy but mechanically the campaign is really fun.

M2TW is special in that it is literally bugged out. They reused code from RTW and forgot to fully commented out sections of the code. Long story short whenever you take settlements it counts as exterminating them regardless of what you do. So it's impossible to keep allies or even neutral relationships. Eventually everyone will declare war on you because they see you slaughtering people.

Only played a little Norsca so far. All I can say is that you can kill one fucker from another tribe, go to diplomacy, peace/confederacy and it's done

I want this mechanic to be carried across to the Empire. I just kicked you elector count in the testicles so hard he landed in the chaos wastes. So, what now? Instant and no issue confederacy (because it's and empire state paying taxes to the empire, the end) or "hurrrr (states go rogue and so I have to kick a single elector in the cunt so hard even the Chaos Gods argue over whicj god my foot was the Chosen of.

>>387231614
That happened tho.
I don't pretend to know how. Maybe there was an unchecked cygor but I dunno. Hexwraiths were the only nibbas strong enough to finish those knights and a couple giants. Those chaos knights just never died. Granted, it was the only battle we fought in which the CPU used them. I kinda suspect chaos armies to have cheats during campaigns.

>>387234537
I'd consider getting level 1 snake for upkeep reduction, if that's a problem for you. After that whatever you want.

The other level 1 bonuses seem ok, but I don't think any of them are worth focusing on outside of your primary god focus.

I had a huge hard-on for like an year before this was cracked. Shogun 2 is EASILY the best game I have ever played.

Didn't really get past 20 hours on this crap.

The performance is subpar, balance is weird, and the campaign AI is just horrendous. There's no real challenge, it either lets you steamroll it or simply cheats you to death (pulling 3 20 unit stacks out of its ass by turn 5) on 'harder' difficulties. Gunpowder feels like a joke, and the game is poorly optimized. And then you need a couple of mods to 'fix' each of these issues and more.

No TW so far felt as good as Shogun 2 did. Even without Darthmod the game was amazing. Battles felt alive, realistic, you could see the little niggas killing each other individually. Matchlock volleys were simply devastating.

Maybe TWW2 will be a better game.

The game has never been balanced. Especially when it comes to auto-resolve. If someone hates you you can dump your treasury as a bribe and confederate them next turn 90% of the time if you're anyone but norsca. Being able to just "meet army, kill army, take all territory, move elsewhere" is thematic and better than what Chaos Warriors have. You can fight early to the south or concentrate of enemy armies instead of capitals. If you go for cities rather than armies thats your fault for being stupid.

Total War has had sync kills for a while. Shogun 2 in particular had great sync kills. They took them out in an effort to improve the flow of combat, but that didn't really work and the fans didn't like it, so now they're putting them back for certain units.

>>387242878

Overall it feels better IMO. Chaos is now less of a shit to play and Norsca is actually really cool. Also, the AI tends to be less retarded in creating its armies, so seeing shit like a full stack of artillery and nothing else is much less common than it used to be.

The only fuckup I've noticed is that the new RoR cooldown system make respawning factions comparatively more powerful, which especially in the case of Beastmen is very noticeable. Everyone else has to wait for the RoR to cooldown if they get killed, but horde factions get a free set every time they respawn with no cooldown at all. If left alone long enough (for example if you start as Chaos or Norsca and take your sweet time going south) the Beastmen will almost guaranteed wipe out all human factions because the constant horde respawns make them essentially unbeatable and the free RoRs give them an edge in a straight up confrontation. Combined with the fact that the AI still cannot into efficient defense, it simply cannot hold back the Beastmen.

>>387244817
I see. Welp, hopefully they'll balance the beastmen then. Thanks anon, I'll download the game and see for myself.

>>387247820
It's a game that sounds fun, but is actually not fun at all.

The main problem is that it's really fucking clunky and unpolished. They improved it a bit over time, but it's still just not good. Especially the boarding combat is complete garbage, the controls are sluggish and unresponsive, while the animations are stiff and unnatural. The ship combat is a bit better, but it's also slow and predictable, and thus gets boring really fast.
