Attila is an unoptimized mess, try this launcher fix to try and improve performance.
Open Rome 2 then select Attila from that then press play. FPS can increase anywhere between 1 to 25.

> i took a huge swath of charlie's land with barley a fight, wondering where his armies are, i assumed they are off fighting the other factions he's at war with
> suddenly charlie himself comes out of nowhere with 4 full doomstacks
> he attacks one of my full stacks which just happened to be in forticiaction stance
so the battle commenced 4v1
> they are coming at me from 3 sides, but the third one is further away and doesn't manage to engage until i had defeated the other two
> i was able to knock out charlie, and kill the other 3 generals, though i had lost most of my army in the process
> the battle indicator still says i have a low chance of winning because my missile units died and they still had three
which is kinda the bullshit i don't like about this expansion because battles more often then not come down to just whoever has more arches
> so my remaining units i had run to the opposite side of the base away from the archers, and lured them into my arrow towers which killed them off
> suddenly some onagar unit they forgot they had shows up
> with my general and the 3 remain units, they both split up and attack from both sides while the onagar tries to snipe my general

Kek, the hardest faction I fought was the Taifa of Barcelona. One army slipped by my forces - as the Umayyads - and raided every turn all the way to my capital. My army could not catch it for some odd reason. Just always one extra step away on the map. Not to mention the other two armies with stacked forces that rivaled my three armies in power. Each of their cities was level II, WITH garrison posts adding more men. Sieges were bloody.

Charlemagne put up two armies, like you said, and I felt underwhelmed. Kinda odd

Hey /twg/ are there any submods which brings back the unit abilities in DEI R2? Half them fun of playing bar bars (especially Suebi) was timing those abilities to cause mass routs etc
>>
>>125941353
Meh that's disappointing. I have to think about what handicaps I might do to make the campaign harder. I am hoping if you tell the Abbasids to choke on some Abyssinian dick and die when that event happens that I heard of they'll send an army to attack you. Would that we had the Maghreb and they'd be a real threat on the map.

>125860638

I've finished 5 of the 16 Spanish units (the cha_gen ones), and there's usually sharing of a base VMD so that Royal guardsmen might have the same look as Royal cav or royal knights. Once the Spanish are done I will try and do some of the less fun bug-fixing for FOTE, then Dresden and I will upload that FOTE update and my reskin (you'll need to download FOTE but only run pack 1 and 2 - that will give you the skins needed but not any of the battlefield/stat stuff so you will only have the reskins with vanilla stats and battlefield mechanics. I'll explain what to do once I upload that reskin package).

>dont play on hardest

>>
>>125957448

Avetis is an awesome guy and helps us on FOTE but yeah, I think he and I do have differing interpretations and design choices on material or appearances of units. I do tend to prefer a greater scaling of armor so the look of heavies is really distinct. If anything I think I am a bit too liberal in how much armor I assign, but I bear in mind that we have to sacrifice some level of accuracy to get satisfactory gameplay. For one I have to wonder if cavalry in most settings should be able to any degree to really bowl over an enemy given how much it's hammered home that horses will not be convinced (nor will any sensible man want to ) to run right into a solid wall of men. But such a setup - almost 0 charge, low penetration and more of an emphasis on scares infantry would be terrible for the AI and the player most likely.

Though I wonder if perhaps by the time you get the medieval knight post hastings they didn't truly bowl over into the enemy given how firsthand accounts really do speak to the ferocity of their charge and the fact that a charge of Norman kngihts could 'drill a hole through the walls of babylon'. Odds are extensive use of spurs, harsh bits for the horse and an intentional willingness to charge could get a horse to damn the consequences and run right into a mass of men.

But long and short I'd give his work a try. Looking at his Cordoba reskin it doesn't seem too over-armored.

The celtic moon-men is a very mysterious and spooky phenomenon.

If it persists? Then I'll chock it up to pic related.

>Rise of Islam would be shit DLC
No if it start in 600. Well, ok, you would need some mechanic to prevent Byzy and Sassy to conquer whole of Arabia in 10 turns, but with Avars and Slavs pushing from the North it would be quite interesting map to play.

>>
>>125963648

>Start in 600

>What is CA firebombed by Jihadists

You'd need to set it around 630 or so, right during the Ridda War and after Muhammad died.

And yes, it's ridiculous that I had to think "What date would a rise of islam mod/DLC need to use to avoid being beheaded by Muslims". I mean shit, a movie by a Muslim, who consulted with Ulema (getting the approval of the Egyptians but not the Saudis) and funded by Qadaffi and Morocco and Saudi Arabia's King still resulted in a hostage-taking in DC with the death of journalist and policeman because someone thought Anthony Quinn played Muhammad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Message_(1976_film)

And that was before social media and the internet.
>>
>>125963875
>>125963648
So why bother with a rise of islam DLC at all? It's not interesting and if you desperately want sandniggers there's plenty of that already. Oversensitive liberal faggots and muslims will just flip their shit over nothing and it'll result in bad PR for no real gain.
>>
>>125963648
>start in 600

That's fucking retarded, Mohammed died in 632

Then there's a short period of quarrel around the succession and then they direct their energy outwards and auto-resolve across the map facing no resistance

Rise of Islam DLC would be fucking boring and there is no need for needless controversy if the setting isn't even good for a Total War campaign

>>125963964

It's an interesting and pivotal moment of history, with the major playable factions (Romans, Sassanids, Caliphate, Khazars or Avars depending on the map among others) having unique cultures and fighting styles. The Eastern Romans are victorious over the Sassanids and Avars but utterly exhausted and depleted so there's a kind of WRE AttilaTW feeling, the Sassanids have been shattered and are suffering from internal courtly intrigue from hell with some possible rump states/breaking apart already happening, the Avars have the rebellious slavs after the failure of the siege of Constantinople - and if you go full map they have the Merovingians starting to push on them from the West, the Lombards are acting up in Italy, the Khazars are poised to take advantage of the chaos.

Romans are in a cavalry centric but still some infantry tactical doctrine moment, the Sassanids are still heavy cavalry and Turkic style horse archer oriented, the Arabs are predominately infantry of the line and with time and technology will unlock more cavalry and heavier cavalry, the Khazars are steppe nomads, the Avars are steppe nomads with hordes of slavic cannon fodder, and you could possibly include the Berbers of the maghreb and the Lombards of Italy.

It's all a fuck lot more interesting than the rumored R2 DLC of the Roman conquest of Britain, and would offer more varied rosters and cultures/factions than an Arthurian 5th-6th century British Isles campaign of the Anglo-Saxons, Romano-Britons, Picts, Welsh and Irish.

Course we can't have that because of the idolatrous savages who literally worship an object and the text of a name to the point of ironically being the very idolaters they have a pathological hostility to. We need to bring back the term of Muhammadeans and maybe Quraneans because these fucking imbeciles for all their constant Allah snackbarring care more about a book and a name (since some Danish or French fuck can draw a random 20th century Lawrence of Arabia looking bedouin and because of putting the word Muhammad next to it magically turns it into the prophet) than their fucking religion. It's current year and we're still dealing with iconoclast faggots. I swear to god if Muhammad was somehow brought around today they'd put him in a burka and ban the presence of mirrors near Muhammad because seeing Muhammad or a reflection depicting Muhammad would be haram.

If they were brown then why do they share less than 1% of the DNA compared to the 70% in modern Europeans?

They were probably brown in the same way that Southern Europeans are a bit tanned. The modern brown Egyptian is likely just the result of centuries of breeding with slaves.

>>
>>125984175
If you can actually secure a rout to the town center without coming under tower fire-via onagers usually-then you'll take less casualties manually. A lot of times they'll sally forth because you have superior range and get slaughtered in the field in front of their town.

But yeah, your traditional "storm the streets and battle towards the town center" nonsense will get 500 men killed whereas the autoresolve will only lose like 100-200.

Basically unless you can cheese the shit out of them, autoresolve. The absolute worst autoresolve will do to you is about the same as doing it manually.

"Daughters of Mars" unit pack which adds random women-only units to the game, though not for any proper factions. For example, you get Roman women that look like gladiators fighting for Rome, but the Iceni, which would make a bit more sense, don't got any.

In fact the only records of the ancient world that shows female warriors was the Scythian peoples around the Black Sea where the "Amazons" legend comes from and some tribes of Celts in the far north of Europe. Kushite women were also known in small numbers around Aethiopia.

Personally I got it just to add new units and a full female army of spear women and archers for shits and giggles is hilarious especially when they scream. One of my favourite units in Rome 1 just for the banshee screams.

vid very related
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8Mmtv63UtQ

Women just like in any war are the most valuable resource so the idea they fought in huge numbers side by side with men is ridiculous especially considering tribes and clans lived and died by the amount of fertile women they had.

They migrated a lot. They migrated from their starting territory in the first few turns, went and took over territory I wanted in Tarraconensis, lost it to rebels, moved to Magna Graecia, lost that territory to rebels, moved to Ajax, lost THAT to rebels, took it back, but decided to liberate the WRE instead, and now they are where they are now.

Is there any way to get rid of the unit cards in battle? There is so much shit on my screen I can barely see fuck all.

Also, in the steam achievements, what the hell do the different colors mean? Tan black and red? I assume they represent the difficulty?

Like >>126054663 said it's really tough to take on colonials when the numbers are even. You've gotta really use the terrain to your advantage to hide your men but that isn't always possible.

I actully like empire , my only complaint is the ridiclous public order system, which actully breaks the game imo

There's no way to bring up public order in towns you've taken, once you take them the public order will be in the negative forever and you need to keep a perminate stack in the town just to put down the rebellions that will pop up every turn or two and all those stacks you need upkeep for will ruin your economy really quickly

Well to be fair, some units make some sense (Hex Bearers for example).
Really, a better solutions would have been to simply add a few female fighters into certain units (mobs, scythian horse archers etc.).

Nice.

I used to live across the road from a guy who looked like Mr. Mime. My buddies and I used to creep up to his window, and stare in. We’d always get seen. It’s not like we were particularly stealthy about it. But somehow, the weird curiosity of seeing the closest thing Mr. Mime sitting at a table and eating cheerios in front of day-time television was enthralling. Sometimes, we’d not get noticed for quite some time, so we’d see a lot of Mr. Mime’s morning routine.

It’s not like we were cruel about it, really. We never said anything. We weren’t dicks about it. It’s not like he had hideous deformities, or downs’ syndrome or anything, and we never saw him leave the house. We had to stop one day because when one of us looked in, we saw him with a woman who looked a lot like Lucario, and that seemed like a step too far. Mr Mime wouldn’t close his fucking curtains more often if he were real.

As for your post? Yeah. Good job. Or something.

I can't believe you fucking morons waste your life here. Listen, this is your LIFE. You need to be living with real human beings. You need to go find a girlfriend and spend time with her. You need to find happiness. Happiness is not in your online games or crappy manga books, it is in other people.

Do you really want to be 40 years old and look back to your 18-25 years and realize you pissed them away in fits of loneliness playing RPGs and crying yourself to sleep? I know most, if not all of you, had no real childhood or high school experiences because you were too busy being antisocial losers. Change that, now. How much greater would your life be now had you worked up the courage to talk to that one girl and go to the prom with her? Wouldn't high school have been amazing if you actually went out with friends on the weekend and saw movies? This is why you people love anime so much, because it portrays these perfect people going through high school living the lives YOU wish you could have lived back then.

Stop wasting your time on the Internet. Look outside and see the trees and the sun. Please. There is a world out there. There are interesting people all over. Why do you want to throw away what is left of your life playing fictional RPGs when real life is one big RPG with real consequences and relationships?

Are you just afraid? I mean, look at me, I own this boat.

That's great, anon. I did ask that girl to prom, problem is I didn't know what the fuck to do because I was a loser who never even held a girl's hand and I'm sure they were all sucking dick for at least 2 or 3 years by then.

I had friends, sure, still do. It's great to hang out but no one ever really teaches you or teaches you how to be better at being a person. As autistic as it sounds there ought to be a class that teaches you the importance of relationships or at least why you shouldn't eat pizza and why you need to lift heavy shit in the air until you're tired.

To me it's looking more and more casualised for consoles they were even talking about how profitable it would be if TW went on console in the future. An odd thing to talk about really.

Playing TW with a controller:
>Aim at unit
>Press A to make them walk or attack
>Hold right bumper to bring up special abilities
>press A to select buildings in provinces.
>Press B to cancel commands or buildings when highlighted on object.
>Press analog stick to zoom.
>Press right bumper on campaign map to bring up the selection for diplomacy,trade+finances,research and lists.


For fucks sake it is actually look like it is being cut down for it aswell.

It's like you're almost accepting and even promoting cut down settlement chains and crafting provinces for your own purposes and just following a set goal of uniformity for every single settlement.

Here's a city center tree choices.

Don't forget they also cut all aspects of navies from the game for every faction.

So military naval trees and civilian naval trees no longer apply.

Can someone shed a bit of light on how armor upgrades works in M2?
What I mean is, say I have spear militia, they're unarmored, but when fully upgraded it says they're in "heavy mail" but they still only have an armor of 3. Non-upgraded armored sergents have an armor of 4.
Are the spear militia in better armor? When I look at them they're covered head to toe in metal. They appear to be wearing at least chain-mail, they have helmets and grieves on. They still take losses in combat but I attribute that to their low skill.

But then there are knights in certainly heavy mail with an armor of 8 or 9.
Perhaps it's only stupid flavor text when it says "next upgrade: padded, light mail, heavy mail" and only the number matters?

>>126076137
I'll be completely honest I couldn't care less about any of the naval stuff. It sucks that they got rid of it but I imagine those who genuinely enjoyed it were a small minority.

As for the rest of the stuff notice how there's a building not in the tree in the minor cities there. So that's not all the buildings available, only the ones in the major dwarf settlements.

Either way I don't see why this is a big complaint. It's an extremely minor issue compared to being unable to capture certain race's settlements. In fact that's most likely why they streamlined a lot of the building chains. Since you will have less provinces available when it comes to taking them over to build things in. As such you can't dedicate as many to food, ranged, melee, cav etc

If I remember correctly an armor upgrade is worth just about +2 armor value. Meaning the spear militia would have a armor value of 3x2= 6, and the armored sergent would once upgraded to heavy mail have 4+1x2=6 armor. Though there doesn't really seem to be an exact consistent armor value for each tier in vanilla, for example the knights you mentioned. In mods you get stuff like "partial light mail" instead with corresponding models, textures and stats, which makes a whole lot more sense than militia men covered head to toe in the finest mail. So a knight would have full mail, while the militia man would have partial mail. Pic related upgraded basic spear men.

CA has, to my knowledge, made no comment about the potential profitability of TW on console.

100% guaranteed locations for Skaven and Wood elves. Beastmen is 85% certain as they are the two thickest areas in lore for this part of the world.

Chaos Warriors is 60% as they could start in the north of Norsca. I placed them next to the wastes as a sort of Vanguard of the coming tide preparing for the large scale invasion to come.

Its true about city expansion HOWEVER. Look at the defence tab. It doesnt show up in the icons. How much are you going to bet that the ingame province capital expands in size and fortifications on the campaign map when you upgrade a tier in defence?

You will also see the core main building in capitals and settlements enhance in size on the campaign map.

I can say as a black person that it isn't,

Its before the End Times, so Chaos is as much a threat to the empire as the other factions really. Maybe even less so than beastmen and orcs.
>>
>>126077291
Ok. That's great actually. I love spear militia and when they're fully upgraded (with the weapon upgrade) they look super badass.
I just spent the last 10 minutes or so looking at units in custom battle. The knights with and without their armor upgrade definitely have different armor on than full spear militia.

And yeah, I really need to try mods for that game. Once I finish this England campaign I will. Which mod is that btw? I have SS downloaded and ready to go.

No we didn't. We've had dwarves and empire only.

Also Chaos Warriors DLC from official steam page:


>Three new playable Legendary Lords.
>New Chaos Warrior mounts, units and monsters.
>New quests, magic items and abilities.
>New horde campaign playstyle.

So the anon is right. Chaos will likely start in that position as a horde rather than settled as he thought.

Everything else is legit. Skavenblight is in that empty area so no doubt an event will start there followed by a playable DLC race and that not so inconspicuous woodland cut off from the world and at launch just a high attrition zone is the Wood elf domain.

Its called a slow early game, something that actually makes games last longer so you dont blitz the map in 50 turns. I used one stack on very hard to conquer gaul.

How does it have anything to do with feeling sorry for the company? Or do you seriously think it would be viable to not make any DLC, any expansions and leave no content for later down the line and just release one massive game instead? First of all people wouldn't buy it for the price alone (since they'd have to hike it up to the double at least to cover the development costs) not to mention it would take several years longer to finish.

Then again there's still autists waiting for EB2 in here so I guess that's not a problem to some.

Probably in one of the two expansions to the game.

Remember its a trilogy of games and a shit ton of DLC for each over the next 5 years that if installed together will create the largest world CA have ever made.

It's pretty certain that there will be 8 races in the first game 4 as the base game and 4 in DLC's. Apparently main development of the first has just wrapped in time for Christmas now its all QA,polish and bug testing in the run up to launch minus any delays. Hopefully done properly but we all know CA these days...

I'm hoping they see sense and release Chaos Warriors as part of the base game. The backlash has been immense against the decision.

War with carthage or greece early is stupid, what i did was make peace without everyone besides barbars, then i pushed north with a single stack, conquered all of gaul, raised another stack, and then took those stacks through spain and north africa, conquering all around the Mediterranean and every island, and I continued that circle around the sea until i got back around to greece.

I had a million bucks by turn 50 and i was still only using one or two armies.

The Problem is that with the exception of Shogun 2, no vanilla TW title is good. They desperately need at least some tweaking if not whole sale modding to make them enjoyable and solid games.

I just hope players are allowed to alter stats and units sizes as well as allowing the recruitment of 40 unit stacks instead of this bullshit 20 units stacks plus reinforcements.

Not to burst your bubble but Attila launch was better than Shogun's, Shogun had problems with turn times until the FOTS patch, turns could literally take more than 10 minutes
>>
>>126081252
I mean the whole "laegest and most beautiful map in any total war" meme has been used to death by CA.
>>
>>126081354
Attila is literally flawless. I dare someone to find a flaw with it.
>>
>>126081161
No they didn't.

There are 2 expansions which expand the ingame world itself if installed together or you can buy them standalone and play just that new continent with those races in the expansion.

Also Rome 2 was the largest world CA had ever created at that point. All the games previous were much smaller. Except for Stainless Steel mod which hit the cap the engine allowed.
>>
>>126081380
It'll definitely be the largest in terms of variety and unique features, and it certainly looks more beautiful than any others.
>>
>>126081380

It's because they always used it in different contextes, like in empire it was the scale but you had 1 province france, in rome it was the number of settlements, in attila the same (I think M2 had like 105 settlements, rome 2 185 and Attila 189 but I might be slightly off with the number)
>>
>>126081467

I'm just saying the launch was better, there is this aura of myth around some titles as if they were literally perfect, I've been there on every TW launch except empire (since I heard of the shitstorm I didn't even buy it) and S1

>>126081354

He said nothing about what the games were like at launch, he was talking about how games are in the vanilla, unmodded state, a state which obviously includes official patches.

Youve been through a dozen battles and youre barely at syracuse. My first few dozen battles got me a settlement almost every other time. Gaul was mine by like turn 40, all of fucking Gaul. What do you have exactly? My first stack conquered all of Gaup by itself. Your first stack is at syracuse.

You made the right decision clearly. Barbars are super shit early game and carthage is powerful. Ergo, blitz shitters, use dosh to appease carthage until you get around to them, and conquer them in FIVE FUCKING TURNS LIKE I DID.

Sit down son.
>>
>>126082903

I'm gonna play Archaon first and recruit Kholek during the campaign (apparently you can later on with a quest recruit other legendary lords)

Then maybe VC, it depends how fleshed out their cav is because Chaos cav is pretty shit and I want to play something different

Cheeky diplomacy leading to fast and easy conquest and then betrayal up the ass when they are least prepared and ive got all their armies conquering elsewhere, isolated and tracked. I played carthage, then syracuse, the egyptians, then i played the greeks, then the seleucids and the crimerians and the british. Play after play, hearty laughs and mad dosh all around. Good roman times.

The battle of Hattin was a battle for water. The crusaders were literally fighting to get to water and Saladin knew it. The ended up dehydrated and dying from thirst in the desert, and still made a bunch of heroic charges until most of them collapsed from exhaustion and were killed or captured. It was always the crusaders attacking to get to water and saladin maneuvering to cut them off. Should have never left the city.

So what was the excuse for Rohan doing literally everything while Gondor couldn't do shit in the books?
>>
>>126087663
baka theoden should have kited those elephants, theyre clearly slower than horses and cant keep up that speed for too long. Fire to the towers and let them berserk into each other.

Then again, this is the same army that charged directly into the most incompetant pikewall in history and won as a result of their opponent's incompetence, their ego is probably off the charts after that.
>>
>>126087923
Gondor won the battle in the books. The rohirrim are beaten back, theoden dies, everyone is freaking out, then aragorn shows up with a southern gondor army and fucks everyone up, routing the entire orc/ haradrim force after rallying the rohirrim.
>>
>>126088250

So why did Peter Jackson make Gondor look like bitches
>>
>>126087923
Holding the line against Morder, the easterlings and the Haradrim for hundreds of years, while all the Rohirim had to content with were some mountain rednecks and the occasional orc raid?
>>
>>126087923
>tfw I haven't read the books
but I thought Gondor was much more effective in the books.

Also Gondor have been holding of Mordor for years while the rest of the world has enjoyed relative peace. Didn't Boromir say that at the council of Elrond?

>>126088087
I always assumed the reason for that was they didn't want the routing Orcs to reform their lines which would result in Rohan being caught bwtween half the orcs in the city which now occupied the walls and could shoot at them from the walls and the other half of orcs which now had Oliphant support.
Better to charge and keep the orcs routing whilst getting around and behind the giant elephants

Also they didn't have enough time. the oliphants were maybe a minute away from smashing into them. the Rohan cav were to many to manouver away and it would have resulted in a chaotic retreat. Better to keep the men focused on fighting

In the books the Rohirim horses won't go near the things, so the orcs DO reform there,

Tension. So much screentime fucking up shit with Rohirrim that they needed to balance that out with a lot of death to make the most famous cavalry charge in movie history more climactic. Only faramir and like 3 gondor soldiers are shown getting kills for the entire movie, almost every scene gondor soldiers are in, theyre getting fucked up. Ive always hated how they did that but i understand why it was done.

Orcs + trolls would have a big advantage fighting city streets, especially since you can't use the shock of the charge like on the plains. The rohirrim would get bogged down then taken from the rear by the Harad and rallied orcs.

That was the plan. Only Eomer went kinda berserk after he saw that both Theoden and, presumably, Eowyn were dead. That was when the whole "death. Death" screaming got started.
During the initial charge the Rohirrim were actually singing.
Its one of the few gripes I got with the movies, along with changing the dialouge between Eowyn and the Witchking.

Now when I try to play stainless steel I feel the clock smugly mocking me with every tick as the million different factions scroll past again and again. The joy of discovery has been replaced with annoyance and routine.

Humans charged into a pikewall and won. They defied all logic and physics. Didnt plant stakes, didnt plant their pikes, led by a magical wizard with magicial birds that can spot 9 companions on a mountain but cant spot an army of cavalry charging to the aid of their king.

Humans defied all logic in that movie. Elf magic has nothing on tolkien human magic during battles. Dude has a crusader hard-on and thinks a cavalry charge can just decimate a thick pikewall.
>>
>>126091225
No mention of pikes in the books. And the Uruk-Hai were already reeling from Theoden's sally (several hundred to a thousand strong, not half a dozen).
>>
>>126091225
I never got what Jackson was thinking with that charge.
When the sun rises you see the Uruk-hai covering their eyes and raising their pikes so you go "oh that's genious! that's how they defeat a pike wall head one" but just before impact you see them lowering their pikes again

wth Peter. Did they just fuck up in editing or something?
>>
>>126091571

The charge doesn't make sense regardless of pike or not, unless they found thousands of suicidal horses and above all it wouldn't penetrate nowhere near the way it penetrates in the movie.

The magnus opus of retrardness though is the part where they charge out of helm's deep, they literally run over uruks like they aren't even there well it's cgi and it looks retarded as fuck

Which total war game has the best Byzantine Empire

Nevermind that, why didnt they plant the pikes? Or at least have stakes up? Or scouts for that matter. Evil armies in middle earth have all the resources to scout perfectly and yet they scout for shit

tbqh the romans were pretty shit at scouting during the punic wars. maybe the evil factions just overestimate their own strenght

It's ROMAN EMPIRE. Not Byzantine!! ROMAN!!!!

Could the last Attila DLC be about the Fall of Constantinople to complete the Roman theme? Or is it too late and they would need to change too many things to make it work?

I mean Constantinople was largely unchanged in terms of fortifications

>>126099357
ehhh no
>>
>>126099357

We've been moving further in history, but I don't think CA wants to burn out Medieval 3 bridges with just a DLC. So I think it will be something between Charlemagne and William the Conqueror in terms of timespan, but I can't think of anything of importance.

Hey, so this might seem strange but I have a request for a capable modder.

I really hate the way blood looks on the units. It's weird, the texture is bad, and the splash pattern it makes is eclectic. Is there any way to create a mod that removes only the blood from the blood DLC? If it's difficult to make can anyone point me in the right direction?

we already got that in Medieval 2 so I believe CA will focus on something else. Although it would be hype to revisite William the Bastard

>>126099357

They'd need to change way too much. 100% brand new unit assets, voiceovers, traits and ancillaries and so on.

>>126100409

Having looked at it mid 11th century would be a great choice for a DLC. Either just limited to the British Isles or maybe the North Sea so you have the British Isles, Normandy, maybe low countries, Denmark, Norway.

Personally I know it wouldn't happen but I'd like the 11th century in general so we can get El-Cid and the Almoravids, Manzikert and the goddamn Crusades.

Well you don't have to play as Chaos and you'd be spending $60 anyway unless you wait until the next holiday sale for a 50% discount.
