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.

If they have fat spirit stats coupled with the penalty spears have against non-canon then they win,they still lose against slightly inferior non 2H melee like the shitter sword units. Also only 2H axes have the shitty animation,halbs and two handed swords are fine.

They can be good in small spaces and weird places like that but they drop their pikes too fast to be reliable. I kinda "fixed" them in the call of warhammer mod by hand by following some instructions. So "mods will fix it" is almost possible.

This was the Golden Age that, without coercion, without laws, spontaneously nurtured the good and the true. There was no fear or punishment: there were no death stacks to kill you, fixed in iron, no crowd of suppliants fearing the barbarians face: they lived safely without protection. No army felled in the mountains had yet reached the flowing waves to travel to other forts: factions only knew their own land. There was no massive mobilization, no straight war-trumpets, no coiled horns, no swords and helmets. Without the use of armies, people passed their lives in gentle peace and security. The earth herself also, freely, without the scars of fire, untouched by blood, produced everything from herself. Contented with food that grew without molestation, they built up their settlement, and ate the fruit of the strawberry tree, wild cherries, blackberries clinging to the tough brambles, and acorns fallen from Jupiter's spreading oak-tree. Peace was eternal, and gentle breezes caressed with warm air the flowers that grew without being seeded. Then the tilled earth gave of its produce and, without needing to repair, the fields whitened with heavy ears of corn. Sometimes rivers of milk flowed, sometimes streams of nectar, and golden honey trickled from the green holm oak.


Then the deathstack from the west arrived, declaring war without provocation.

>>126115002

How the fuck is poking in point blank range working correctly? do you consider a one handed sword having a 3 meter range working correctly? Do you realize how retarded the concept of hitting someone with the shaft of a pike is? You literally eliminate their huge weaknesses, getting inside and flanking because you can do neither.

Yes but did you wear a cloak and helmet whilst you played and did your friend wear a laurel wreath and toga?

We really went full roleplay on it. Even making historical looking documents in school and crafting battle plans in lessons. Now we basically roleplay for real as part of an authentic historical reenactment society.

I don't know your level of proficiency, but maybe Duolingo might help you out? And trying to have as much possible contact with the language, grow used to how it sounds. Learning a couple of key-expressions is also useful, the basic ones that people use more often. And you can learn to communicate fairly efficiently with basic verbs (modalverben are a must), and it's useful to speak to yourself sometimes, saying basic things like Das ist ein schönes Fenster, or whatever is in front of you. It's like being a baby all over again, but it's kinda fun.

I don't know if that works proper when you're trying to create a german basis all by yourself, though, I was lucky enough to have plenty of time to learn it. But, that's what I'm doing with latin, and I've been making progress. Slow progress, but progress nevertheless.

Also, learning by heart somewhat silly but easily memorable songs is great to building up your Wortschatz. I really like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp03XOLlHOU

Is there any way to nerf cavalry in Stainless Steel? It's so overpowered that it's ruining the game.

I don't care if its historically accurate or not, I just want a playable game.
>>
>>126148513
there is a submod specifically for nerfing cavalry.
>>
>>126148513
It's a cavalry-heavy game, it's suppose to be like that. This is the age of plate-armored knights, mongol hordes, muslim mamelukes, etc. Cavalry dominated the late-medieval era. Braced heavy spears and heavy infantry like dismounted knights are very good and can take a charge, and crossbows cut down cavalry.

Personally, I love it. With real recruitment on it's hard to spam heavy cav anyway, that's my experience as the crusader states anyway. You get a heavy cav from one of the buildings like every 20 turns, I think at turn 40 I had maybe 6-8-not counting the bodyguards-from having multiple buildings, you have to decide whether or not to use that recruitment for retraining or getting a new unit, I usually opt for the retraining so I have a bunch of gold knights.
>>
>>126148936
No fun for custom battles f a m
>>
>>126149014
it's not really a custom battles mod familia, it's meant to be a good campaign experience, and the cavalry is balanced out by being very hard to spam (very slow recruitment times) and very expensive unless you store them in castles. Obviously they're going to seem very overpowered just from playing custom battles.
>>
>>126149302
fair enough

But it's no fun when a unit of mail knights can literally run straight through my lines of spearmen. Horses for courses I guess.
>>
>>126149471
High-tier spears will win if they're braced-bodyguards will still probably fuck you up.

Just get used to immediately supporting your spearmen with your own cav and you can save them, early-game just realize that your spears are basically expendable anvils that are inevitably going to take some nasty charges while protecting your missile units and artillery. They're cheap and recruit-able everywhere, whereas a knight of jerusalem is going to take 10 casualties killing your shitty spear unit and he can't retrain for another 20 turns. See how that works? You have to play smart with your cav, they're precious gems to be saved and babied.

Kek, looks like you're the only one who hasn't played the game here then. Since you're better off just charging out with cav since the AI doesn't know better and will let you kill their troops that way. Alternatively just open a gate on the opposite side and their army will try to rush there. Rinse and repeat.

Keep defending that piece of shit though if it makes you feel better.

>It's the main type of ranged unit because none of the others fucking work you imbecile.
yet crossbows are used to kill heavily armored troops (especially cav which is deadly) since bows run out of ammo before being effective against them
and guns are used to cause morale shock and penetrate armor

>the rest of that post
"I use exploits so the game is easy"
that'd be like me spamming the autoresolve in Attila to win every battle. Don't be a pleb
>>
>>126165561
Neither crossbows or gunpowder units can fire from the walls properly, you'd be lucky to get a single kill. So nothing about what you mentioned matters when they can't attack.
>>
>>126165550
problem with early is that there is very little unit variety. and you'll be using mostly the same troops for most of the game since when you reach later armor and units you'll have conquered much of the world.

I like early starts for that roleplaying feel though

>If I play early do I eventually get to late units?
yes but I suggest not being overly effective in each turn then since that will take a lot of turns

To the South is Rome and I definitely ain't attacking the Papacy and the fucking Moors keep raiding my island towns so I have to keep my main army there. I've only got one military castle so can only pump out Spearmen/Light Men At Arms/Peseant Crossbowmen/Mailed Knights once every four turns so replenish my army is a fucking bitch.

I can't hold lands that far away, I just don't have the power and trying to do so will devastate my economy. If I could send my main army perhaps but it's stuck babysitting the islands against the fucking Moors.

Maybe I should start a new campaign, porbably as Genoa again but be a bit more aggressive against rebel/indie settlements early on so I can get more lands. Any tips for getting strong armies early on? My main problem then was gathering forces to actually take the indie/rebel towns. I mean, all I can recruit is shitty militia spearmen.

early game just use spears as a holding force. focus on cav and skirmishers for killing. If you can't assault the town just siege them. also mercenaries are great

>>126166560
>Or 50/50?
hard to say. at least 40% castles I'd say. depends on were you're expanding. but once you're in a serious war you'll need them so badly to resuply your armies.

I usually secure one front and have that as my economic part. Problem with Italy is theres not that many castels mainly cities. but Genoa and Venice get great militia troops aswell so don't worry too much about having too many cities
>>
>>126166805
Speaking of Venice is it worth declaring war on them early or should I wait until later on in the game?

I think a guy there has made a very important point, the ability to walk backwards.

I think that would add a lot of depth to combat, but it should be limited only to the most veteran or elite troops, coordinating something like that on the battlefield is next to impossible, Cannae is considered a masterpiece because of it.

Unlike attila traits have certain triggers. For example if you use your general offensively in battle you might get the battle dread, bloody and scarred traits. If you exterminte cities and kill prisoners you might get the strategy dread traits. Having your governor build brothels get them the lewd traits and even setting taxes to high will have them gain evil traits.

It is a shame that the newer games never go this in depth with the traits systen.

Odoacer crosses the Maritime Alps with a Gothic army and invades Provence (Southern Gaul). He conquers the cities of Arles and Marseilles, after a victorious battle against the Burgundians.
The Visigoths under king Euric march into Italy and suffer defeat against the forces of Odoacer. Emperor Zeno concludes a peace treaty between the Goths and Odoacer surrenders the newly conquered territory in Gaul. Euric pledged himself to undertake no further hostilities.
The Roman Senate petitions Zeno to recognize Nepos as deposed and take the sole emperorship himself, abolishing the 91 year east/west division of the empire and recognizing Odoacer's authority in Italy. Zeno declines the first request, but names Odoacer Patricius, investing his rule with Imperial legitimacy.
Winter – Zeno recognizes the full extent of the Vandal Kingdom, including all of western Africa, the Balearic Islands, Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily. King Genseric gives Sicily, with exception of the city of Lilybaeum, to Odoacer in return for tribute.

Well thats the wood elves domain that's where they will start it's lore.

Ingame at launch its a very high attrition zone where soldiers are picked off by the creatures within and the woods themselves. With the DLC it will be an Elven realm of 3(perhaps 4) regions. One controlled the others need to be captured for a scripted event to begin. It's part of the questline Ingame of course you could ignore it and just go full total war. But for those that enjoyed the historical objectives of Rome 2 and Attila they'll love the questlines and unique stories for each lord. The rewards are amazing aswell due to the new customisation system kind of RPG-lite with 6 items you can equip and swap in and out each turn to change appearance of your lord.

Skavenblight will open up as a rotting wound in the surface of the world think of it like zerg creep(without the goo) from Starcraft. They spread their filth and disease everywhere. Razing cities and living in the ruins multiplying above and below ground and the campaign map will show that effect. It's quite disgusting to be fair. Skaven is only early stages and subject to change. Wood elves are the main development for the post launch team as each race takes months to create as they are all unique and look,play and feel different. Beastmen are concept art.

>Hordes
Chaos is a horde for sure and the changes to the campaign map reflect it. You thought Attila burning Europe was bad? Wait till you see what the warriors do to towns and cities in their path. Beastmen is still undecided but least of the priorities at this time.

>things happening at x turns,
That's lore filled. Chaos event will be huge and frankly terrifying due to the units they have....

There's also a raider event from the sea, skaven event,cultist uprising,sightings of mysterious beings in the south and a few more at hints to the future expansions that enlarge the game world. ;)

You don't "have" to do anything.
The DLC is not for sale either, it's a preorder bonus you get for preordering.

Before you throw a tantrum about how terrible preorder bonuses are, let me remind you that it makes no difference if you preorder the game or buy it on release instead of spending more money on gook pillows.
Also refunds are a thing

Really, you should think about putting off the cartoons

Kek, never seen such a bullshit claim. How do you even think they could use the same animations when the skeletons are different for each race?

Why do you think he started using different names? He didnt always do that, you should wonder why he started. The R1 community was small with a server browser and POM used cookie-cutter builds that were easily recognizable. And yes, a copycat is out of the question because I ran into those too and left distinctly less recognizable in strategy. PoM however?

I dont think youre playing on very hard

Also i dont think youve met the mongols. Crossbows are really good in SS, siege or not.

Youre trying really hard, every day, to push this idea that cav is the only useful unit in SS/M2, and its simply not true.
>>
>>126183304
My main gripe with them in field battle is their shitty responsiveness.

They can be good for shooting stuck and bugged units on the wall in siege battles if you are the defender but that depends on the type of city/castle. Putting them on the walls will only get them killed because they often get stuck or are just too slow to react.
>>
>>126183693
It's the line of sight. Crossbows can't arc their shots as effectively as bows can. In M2 different unit classes actually have their own quirks to them as opposed to attila's lazily done "cross"bows.
>>
>>126183879

Crossbows, mainly a weapon used in sieges in real life, can't shoot from walls in real life, you heard it here folks.

Don't care if he's trolling or not, but he's right.

Webm related is someone doing it wrong, had he just left the guns to their own devises they would have done their job, killed the enemy and worked flawlessly.

It's realistic, if a commander in a medieval battle didn't give his troops any commands, and when they start to fire at the enemy he tells them to move, they would be confused

Slow down the greentexts spurdo, youre missing the point. You can actually use those units, just not how you want. They are not useless just because you can create a circumstance where they do not perform. The existence of said circumstance does not make other approaches impossible.

You are completely aware of how unreasonable you are behaving, its really fucking childish that you cant just let people enjoy old titles and have no respect for the history of the series.

They're NOT FUCKING BUGGED
M2 has flavouring to make it taste different, to give it a seasoning that only the crème de la crème of Total War players can appreciate. One that melts in your mouth but provides a firm resistance, forcing you to savour the taste. Not like any of the new warshit assfaggotry where that's the equivalent of throwing a bunch of M&Ms in your mouth and gobbling them quickly and going "I enjoyed that let me buy more."

M2 is a timeless classic that's clearly only capable of eing enjoyed by those of great intellect and patience. Intellect to grant the ability to prod and poke your tounge around to sample the delectable treat, and learn how to enjoy the fine dish; and the patience needed to fully enjoy each bite instead of shoveling the entire course down your gullet like in true American fashion.

It might be "broken" in a certain circumstance that it should perform, i never argued that. That doesnt mean its "useless."
Tell geonese crossbow anon that his crossbows were useless when he conquered the world with nothing but crossbows. 2new4that? Shame, was a cool campaign.

But you CAN'T use those units, you can't give them orders, they're useless in sieges, what the fuck are you trying to argue about?

How is a unit useful when another unit in the same class outperforms it and can actually be used in different roles? Why should someone choose crossbows and guns over bows? Those class of units are broken, they don't work in most situations and when they you can't order them to target a specific unit, this isn't really an argument about the unit is not broken or useless, this is an argument that I like to roleplay so I bring broken units and limit myself in what I can do just so I can have said units in my army.

That is a longwinded setup.

Crossbows are better than longbows for armor penetration and killing capacity, and they are more heavily armored so they can take a beating. They are also better in melee if it comes to that.

The existence of one overpowered unit does not make all other units useless. That would mean that plenty of early game units in attila are also "useless" because endgame alternatives are better.

Well you can't use the decal system when you're using entire textures. You need an individual model which has each individual texture assigned to it. You can only do this by exporting the shield model you want, renaming it several times and then opening it in a hex editor and changing the diffuse texture it uses, 4 times, 1 for each LOD.

For example

Extract Saxon_Shield_1 from PFM, find the rigid model. Copy it, and rename it was Custom_Shield_1
Now open that file in a hex editor, find the diffuse texture it uses, lets say its Saxon_Shield_1_diffuse, and rename it to the texture file of your own.
But heres the crucial part with hex editing, you can't just write anything in there, and you cant delete it and rewrite it. You have to overwrite it, using insert, and the exact amount of characters needs to be the same.

So you could rename Saxon_Shield_1_diffuse to mycustomield_1_diffuse but not My_Custom_shield_1_diffuse
>>
>>126190592
After that save the file, just press save not save as. And import it into pfm, then make sure the textures are imported too in the correct location, shield/tex, and then you can use it in game, if you're doing a lot, you'll want to make a variantmeshdefinition and assign that to your unit.

quirks are a bad thing, unless explicitly stated. Units having the berserk trait is a "quirk" something particular to that unit that changes how you use them. Units being so unresponsive that you have to learn a non specific proper command chain to get them to do something simple like attack a target is not a "quirk" it's shit programming and shit game design.

>>126193719
The Greek factions, even DeI are very limited in rosters. Of course DeI gives them sizeable ones, but they all have standard very straight forward hammer and anvil rosters. The base game already has the succesor kingdoms (Seleucid, Ptolemy's Egypt, Macedon, Bactria) which gives you access to a Greek rosters but with more variations and more interesting starting positions)

Shit like the Greek City state DLC only gives you Epirus, Athens, and Sparta, so just 3 boring Greek factions that start all in the same area. I would suggest shit like nomad DLC because they have an incredibly different play style, or the campaign DLCs like Ceaser in Gaul, and the Hannibal one, since the offer mini campaigns that are DeI integrated, and unlock very different factions is starting positions that are untouched by the base game roster. All of these factions still have very fleshed out DeI tier rosters as well.

If you want more Greek options, get the colonies pack, Massalia and Arche-Bosphorus actually have interesting roster variations and starting positions.

Wut? Are you for some reason confusing DeI with Radious?

DeI gives everyone high tier units, but all of the high tier units have completely different functions and roles.

The Getae for example, get a bunch of elites all with different functiosn, but never as good as more dedicated units from other factions. The Getae are built as a jack of all traits but master of none factions.

Parthia has a large selections of Elite Archers and Amazing hybrid cavalry (archer shock cav) but really lack melee variations.

Other examples
Rome is the defensive infantry king
Carthage is great at sea and good at using AoR and mercs
Thracians are kings of shock infantry
Seubi are amazing at offensive pushes with heavy infantry

Attila is worth it at £10 as far as I'm concerned. Charlemagne is apparently good (not on sale yet though) and the Empires of Sand DLC seems to be the best of the bunch.

Attila is vastly superior to R2, I didn't realise how how much better it was until I tried playing R2 again and felt like killing myself. It's optimized like shit though so if you have a toaster you're fucked.

DLCs worth getting imo are sand kingdoms, AoC and, if you really like Romans, the last Roman.
>>
>>126194772
>Is Attila considered better then Rome 2 at the moment?

Yes, very much so.

DLC wise Age of Charlemagne isn't on sale, Last Roman can be fun if you're a Byzaboo and want to reconquer Rome as Belasarius.
Sandpeople are the best culture, followed by Longbeards, followed by Celts. Viking Forefathers are not really good, their rosters are lacking and Geats are the only faction in that DLC that have a fun faction trait and they just make the game easier but eliminating winter.

>>126194539
Depends on if you like the time period.

You need to mod Empire, Napoleon is better, but on a smaller scale.

>>126191817
You mean assign several shield.rigid_models (each with their own texture) to a single unit? You can't assign multiple textures to a single shield model unless you copy the rigid model and do hex editing like the anon said.

Let's say for att_cha_fra_spearmen you give them five shields. anon_shield_1/2/3/4/5. It should spread them out reasonably well - you won't get a perfect breakdown but it'll come close. In general it seems like there's a limit of five entries per variant_mesh_reference. So if you assign the shields to the unit VMD directly you'll only get five (unless you copy the entire entry and repeat it. Check Attila levy spearmen and how there's usually four separate 'units' in it). So you will need to do the bracketed reference point or create a separate shield VMD, and then assign that shield VMD to the unit.

It's pack 0 which is the stats, pack 1 and 2 are the visuals.

>>126197294
I haven't done a reskin for a few reasons but I welcome anyone wanting to do that themselves and if they want to upload it. One of the reasons I'm not one to want to do a reskin is that it would, unless I half assed it, be its own project. I'd need to re-do VMDs to fit CA's unit designs (remove javelins from units that don't get it, lighten or increase the armor on units that needed it, ect.), create new VMDs for units I haven't done which CA did, and ultimately I really disliked the design approach they went for with Attila. The unit stats were helter skelter and the upgrading system meant you only ever had a very small number of units available at any time and would force you to relinquish essential units for ones that fit the role even less - Protectores Domestici being a bodyguard-cum-military-college and they become your primary legionaries, losing access to the Limitanei, Legionaries becoming Auxilia, ect. It's nothing against the anachronistic units like Menulatoi or Heitarea - they are silly but that's less of a problem than the straight up crazy system they had in Attila.

In AOC, while it's rather sparse, they did a much better approach. Most units remain available through the campaign with upgrades only in cases that make a lick of sense (like Andalusian Infantry to Warriors - I disabled that so I could use both unit spots, but it wasn't a problem like all your legionaries being forced to become Herculiani). So I've been able to largely leave rosters untouched, not have to worry about wonky stats and just focus on the visuals.

It looks like CA has since then fixed some of the stat issues (I swear when it launched you had units upgrading that actually got worse, not better) but it'd still be a time sink for me to do it myself. And after I've done all the cultures for the grand campaign I really just want to stop modding and enjoy the game for a change of pace. Maybe do skins for people in the off-time, or just do modding that doesn't feel under the clock and like I'm racing to finish something.

Give me a minute and I am going to write up a brief on what you need to do to make a reskin yourself, if you don't mind sloppiness. It's not too hard, just going to take your time and work.

If you want to do it yourself and don't mind some sloppiness what you'll want to do is download the pack file manager, download this sample mod that takes care of making a unit_Variant mod file for you. http://www.mediafire.com/download/8e6a5vpf9ikpt3j/%40%40%40TWG_Reskin_FOTE_v1.pack

With the PFM, open up @TWG_RESKIN_FOTE_V1.pack, and then open up @Fall_of_the_Eagles_0. Right click the variantmeshes section in the FOTE pack 0, extract all to your attila folder. Right click the ui section, extract all to your attila folder. Now you can delete fote pack 0, or just not load it.

Go to your @TWG_RESKIN_FOTE_V1.pack in PFM. Go to the unit_variants table. Open it up. NOTE: You will need to rename unit_variants table with any kind of prefix, TWG_unit_variants, for instance. I forgot to do that myself for this test example. Mea culpa.

Go to whatever unit you want to assign a new Variant and/or a new unit card. Let's say it is att_rom_palatina. You'll see this unit has a lot of entries, because it allows for multiple factions using it to have different skins/unit cards. Not all units have this, and you can make units use it that otherwise didn't but that's a bit more complicated to get into here.

>>126199924

With that unit_variants table open, go to the attila directory, open up Total War Attila\data\variantmeshes\variantmeshdefinitions. Find the FOTE VMD you wish to use. For Palatina let's say we want _FOTE_Roman_infantry_T5_Auxilia_Junior_East. Assign that to the fourth column entry (under the variant column header) to whatever unit you want to change. If you want to assign a new unit icon, go to your Total War Attila/data/ui/units/icons folder. Copy the file name (excluding the .png) of whatever unit you want to use the icon of, and past it in the rightmost column in the unit_variant entry.

Load your @@@TWG_RESKIN_FOTE_V1.pack. The @ is because with CA's mod loader alphabetical priority dictates what mod is loaded first. Not really a big issue if you have only a unit_variants_table. Again, remember to add a prefix to it. The reason is if you do not have a prefix (maybe a suffix, but that may cause problems.) it will treat that db entry as the vanilla one. If you haven't deleted any entries that's fine - if you delete them (say, delete all the non german and non roman unit variant entries to make it less cluttered) and didn't rename the variants table then you'll have the game load without proper unit_variant entries for whatever entries you deleted.

You'll need to learn how to use the TWEAK editor to make new VMDs if you want to make entries for units that currently don't have a FOTE parallel. Do baby steps there. You want a Heitareia 2h axe unit? Open up a roman unit you like the look of (lets say Herculiani). Delete their shields, remove their sword, assign them att_axe_dane or whatever to weapon_1 slot, making sure the attach_point in TWEAK is assigned weapon_01.

>>126203547
Right click, watch the ships, when they get close, activate their +speed ability for max ramming power, watch ships get wrecked. Downside of the ability is that you will, for about 10 seconds after it expires, go about half as slow as you normally would with a ram, but that is only a problem if you're fighting a large navy.

THERE'S ONLY ONE GUY THAT EVER CRITICIZES MEDIEVAL 2 (AKA THE BEST TOTAL WAR AND COMPLETELY FLAWLESS IN EVERY WAY)

AND HE IS BEING PAID BY CA TO HATE MEDIEVAL 2 SO THAT WE BUY ROME 2 DLC

YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME

Not until summer at least.

>Will Attila be cheaper than 66% off

I don't think there are dailies this time around because of refunds, so everything should be as cheap as it will get

>>126207225

It was 66% a few days ago on GMG, I don't know if it's gonna be on Steam christmas sale this year but if it's not already I doubt it

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the days of Jerusalem who said, "Raze it, raze it even to the foundations". O Daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed, happy shall he be, that rewardth thee as thou hath served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dashth thy little ones against the stones.

Now this thing is on the map. I think I should colonise it when the war is won.

>>126207507
honestly i could care less it's all one and the same but you should raise it to the ground, because you've got another thing coming and each one is worse than the next so for all intensive purposes you need to make a complete 360 change in your life or you'll have to curl up in the feeble position.

CA acting like Twitter Sonic is a totally different situation. CA has crazy manchildren and non-1st-worlders as a very vocal part of its fanbase and they have twitters. Sonic fans don't have twitters, but lots of people that make fun of Sonic do. Sonic Twitter is a wink-wink-nudge-nudge to snarky internet nerds that Sega is somewhat in on the joke. CA cannot be any nicer and communicative to its fanbase without pandering to illiterate jingoists that want their unimportant ancestors to be a powerhouse.

It's chaos, i went on a capture spree south of france and now everyone is trying to rebel because of the mixed religions and lack of cash to convert everything, my allies the geats and jutes have just finished off the last remaining tribes on England that wouldn't stop harrasing me, i subjugated ireland and from the east the huns keep coming in with doomstacks.
