>enemy charges into spears and gets fucked, then they're fighting primarily well armoured and defensive melee units, while also being stabbed by pikes

Do the guys in front actually block any arrows for the pikemen or how is that shit even calculated?

The one for shogun 2 sticks fairly close to vanilla. With that I mean the changes are mostly in stats and ai(supposedly). It does not add any more units but it adds some optional cosmetic changes. It has its own launcher so you can customize a lot of things.

You should try out the newish Master of Strategy mod. It changes stuff a lot more than Darthmod though. It adds several ashigaru troops tier( Drafted, Semi-professional, Professional) and samurai troop tiers (retainer, normal, veteran) and much, much more.

>>121835997
It definitely has the best campaign map and sandbox potential, but the braindead battle AI always puts me off replaying it. Know any good mods for fixing BAI?

>>121836089
Pretty hard to fix. Darthmod may get the ai to move in formation but that's it. The unfixable unit reponsiveness is a way bigger problem and that it what puts me off. Never understood why so many say it is the best total war.

Garrisons are fucking huge in DEI, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to deal with them most of the time

>>121838429
Usually I have to b8 their armies out into the field by raiding, defeat them, and then lay siege to the cities. In fact I don't think I've taken a walled city by storming in DEI.

>>121838576
I've only started my campaign and took a few undefended settlements (so their garrisons were THAT large yet)

I also did take one settlement wich had a general-only army on the outside, so the garrison came as reinforcements and I defeated them

>>121838429
Garrison units are shit though. They don't do that much damage so you have plenty of time to hammer and anvil them all.

>>121838947
In the field it's fine but it's difficult to take the walls against garrison + army. They just fucking hang on forever and your men seem to get morale penalties just for being there.

>>121839218
Yeah walled cities are a problem and that is kinda realistic I guess. Making a siege army with shock troops, elite skirmishers( preferably syracusian siege crossbows) and artillery should do the trick against barbarian cities.

You mostly only need equipment that can destroy walls against civlized cities. Those cities are way easier to get a foothold in. Also overall army casualties counts a lot towards morale so throw those javelins.

In R2/Attila elephants are god-tier suicide units
Don use them at the same time as your other units though , always put them up front and have them rush the front lines and wipe our as many as possible before dying

>>121844602
This
Especially aginist early game barbars,
2-3 elephant units could wipe out half their army before the rest of your army engages

>>121844602
what are you talking about? I use them in the middle of the battle ones their line is fixed and I just rek enemy armies in an instant and the elephants survive aswell.

I llimit myself to only 1 ele army because it's so OP

>>121844602
>one hit wondering
only during major settlement sieges should you do that
in regular battles just keep them on the flanks with the cav
they make absurdly good anti-melee cav units and when your cav clears out their skirmishers, send the elephants into the massive blob of enemy melee infantry that forms and watch them stack up 1000 kills while the enemy army mass routs

>>121844902
> Elephants suriving
Imo as expensive as they are it's better for them to do their part and die, especially armored elephants
Could be wrong but iv always kept them away from my own men often as possible because of them going berserk and taking out as many of your own guy as well as the enemy

>>121845185
in my experience high tier elephants like Indian armored and syrians don't berserk and when I use them as hammer and anvil I literally take no losses on them and they level up like crazy since they get 1000+ kills.

I have no idea why you and that other anon want to suicide them. although your frontal attack tactic is historically accurate

>>121845561
You take no casualties on your elephant unit in the campaign map if you chisel them in battle? holy fuck I didn't know that

What if those guys who were on that show playing R1 were playing EB instead of vanilla?

Is there any way I can just get the units and large garrisons added by DEI? The cheat income the AI gets is silly as fuck
Are there other mods that do this?

>>121845805
The show was a marketing tool for RTW.

>>121845916
I never saw but glimpses of it as i was a kid, but before R1 came out there was a show about historical battles and they would "recreate" those battles in R1
It was kinda funny because they treated R1 as if it was the RTS to end all RTS games

>>121845796

The Franks accepted peace right off the bat, as we still had good relations.

We decide to carry on with our campaign of total genocide against the Rugians, who have taken the initiative in the war against us, and the Burgundians, who started all this shit.

The battle over the Burgundian capital was perhaps the bloodiest of my career in Total War.

4k vs. 4k, one side behind walls. We took their city with a brutal frontal assault, sending men in through the gates, a breach in the wall, and two siege towers.

The battle has been costly, but we can feel the Northern War drawing to a close. All that's left is to assault the poorly-defended Rugian capital, and we can return home to bonny ol' Britannia.

Cattios, heir to the throne and chief commander in the battle, travels up to the captured Burgund-hall to meet his father the king. The men celebrate and loot in the burned wreckage of the city below.

Relatively new to Medieval 2, currently playing as the Spanish.
I managed to crusade and occupy Cairo, but I fucked up by not exterminating the population or bringing more than one cardinal with me and about 10 turns in everything has gone to shit. Public order keeps dropping thanks to squalor and Imams and my governor is on the verge of death from old age.

What I would've liked to have seen was regions of impassable buildings, then regions where the buildings worked like forests, except cavalry couldn't enter, then finally open roads. Using the attila idea, you can put up barricades to slow down infantry / stop cavalry. This is to reflect the idea that cavalry was pretty much useless in taking cities - it was mostly done through siege and infantry. Combined with putting archers / skirmishers inside the building regions, then it becomes a slog to butcher your way to the centre of the city. You could simply set the buildings on fire, damaging the settlement and avoiding those regions, or simply stroll up the streets, taking fire from the garrison. When combined with the morale effects of damage to cities and capturing important areas, I think it could give a real dynamic, desperate combat scenario.

Of course, we aren't going to gete that with Warscape pathfinding.

I installed 7.0, but it looks like there's no english translation for it yet anywhere (italian is difficult to piece through, and it sucks not being able to read the information cards for new units and added buildings)

I'm going to install 6.3 now, but judging from the forum it's posted on, I might have some trouble with applying the English language fix. Question is, should I expect to have any issue? And what'd you guys do to get this mod going on your ends?

How come when I touch anything foreign in Attila I get religious difference rebels out the ass? Am I supposed to do something?

>that sneaky skull on the right.

>>121906778
Each province has its own religion (its R2's culture with a new cover). When you take a new region those stupid racist Nazi KKK Zoroastrians don't want to be ruled by G-D's chosen and so they revolt like a bunch of Palestinians and do terrorist activities. Luckily Attila fixed the retarded bug in real life where people hate you for trying to exterminate tho locals

>>121907190
nigger they ripped out the chaos knights and shoved them into paid/pre-order DLC do you really think they are going to put in tomb kings?

Taking an idea from another anon a thread or two ago, turns out Evangelion music goes amazingly well together with total war

>>121901485
>“No one knows much about Grimgor before he staggered out of the Blasted Wastes with the Immortulz, his bloody-minded bodyguard. Even for a Black Orc, Grimgor’s thirst for war was exceptional. If a single day went without battle, Grimgor was known to start camp-decimating arguments, his one good eye blazing with eagerness to find fault and start a good scrap. Two days without battle and Grimgor would smite anything he could reach, save (perhaps) his fellow Black Orcs. No one knows for sure what would happen if three days without a battle occurred, but even unquenchable thirst for battle is a sign that marks out a Warboss for leadership, a sign that that the Orc is favoured by Gork.

>Grimgor maintains a tough, elite retinue of Black Orc warriors around him. This is the hard-as-nails mob known as da Immortulz, a moniker earned due to their habit of surviving almost impossible battles. On the whole Grimgor much prefers Black Orcs to any other kind of greenskin, but plenty of weedier types have snuck into his camp when the steely gaze of his single eye is fixed elsewhere. So long as things are going well (which means there are lots of other things to fight against), Grimgor tolerates the company of other Orcs and Goblins, at least as long as they stay out of his sight.
Grimgor has slaughtered his way across the Blasted Wastes to the centre of the Empire and back. Yet after winning many victories, Grimgor returned to Red Eye Mountain. Deep underground, beyond where the Red Eye Night Goblins dwell, the endless hordes of Skaven can be found. Here, for a time, Grimgor can appease his need for daily butchery- for the ratmen feed uncountable numbers into the fray solely to occupy Grimgor’s fury.

>Yet eventually Grimgor will grow weary, striking out again in search of a worthier challenge- and when he does so, the world will tremble with fear, each nation praying that Grimgor won’t head in their direction”

Never invade in the winter. Seasons play a big part of the mod.

Uses the huge expanded map, garrison units have been increased.

The more provinces you own, the unhappier your cities get. He changed the religion mechanics and also added an unrest mechanic.

He added in buildings and units, as well as unit caps. Certain buildings produce unrest which gets annoying as fuck.

Most mod overhauls include the expanded map anyway, so I'd say go for another overhaul like sekigahara or land rising sun.

empire tw any good? more interested in a campaign map oriented game for my shitty work laptop that can't handle battles.

how are the mods for empire? can i play as the sand nigs?

>>121915092
Hmm well I think I'd like a little more involvement on the campaign map, in the base game you get more unrest with more territory as well.

Playing ww1 mod for poops
yes i know the setting doesn't work for total war blah blah blah, fuck you i like it

anyways, going to play a defensive campaign, with historical alignment off, (meaning that any faction does whatever it want, instead of what happened in history )
who should i play as?
off topic : this isn't my screen shot, for some reason when i take a screenshot with the game up its just renderings the image as a black screen,

>>121918876
SRPSKA

>>121918651
empire is the worst total war, poops is one the best, but its its limited in scope, and you can be sand niggers in both without mods
if you play poops with mods, try to get LME if you can find any links, Darthmod is not as good, buts its an ok alternative, also theres a ww1 mod, its not really fitting for total war but its fun still

>>121918876
Not sure about the screenshot issue but if your going defensive then go ottoman

Actully what I like about empire/napoleon is that , unlike r1/m2 and r2/attila you actully can play defensively , there's alot less random delcrations of war

Anyone else just plays every battle without auto-resolving? Even if the adds are 10:1, I just play the battle because I hate having unnecessary casualties and even when I know II'm going to lose, I play the battle, just to maximize enemy casualties.
am I autistic?

>>121920003
No, I do this as well,
We'll if I have over 70% chance I'll just auto resolve,
But if I always fight otherwise, even if horrificly outnumberd , I will lose, but I can usually take out a good portion of their stack,
There was a battle i still remember as my crowning victory in any total war game ever, was playing rome 2 and as athens
My army of like 600 something got phyrric victory after being attacked by a tylis double doomstack of over 10,000 ish
Forgot the speific numbers but it was simular to that

Try the SPQR faction mod, that shit's fun as hell

>>121918876
Hate the victory date in that mod
1 turn = 1 month
12 months in a year
The game starts you in 1914, and you have till 1918
12×4
If you don't reach your objective in 48 turns you lose , it's a painfully short campaign , if you play defense you will lose
