I think so yeah, as cliche as it might be I think their publisher is the one pushing their shit in. Just look at the free slav DLC that was supposed to be 7 bucks but they gave shittons of away if you tweeteed them a '''''funny'''' picture. You could probably tweet them anime and they'd have given you it, I think they want to make good products but keep getting shafted, apparently Avatar Conquest was cut by order of Sega because 'too much content we should've charged more'.

I always see people praising CDProject for making a bunch of frivilous dlc free and it's because they marketed it well. It was plastered everywhere that it would receive 16 dlc for free and then it all actually shows up as owned dlc items to really drive it home.

If you're going to make such a retarded distinction, then you're going to have to define what makes an expansion pack an expansion pack and how that differs from dlc.

>>135962820
Because CA has a reputation for dumping absolute shite as DLC, CDProject don't.

>>135966282

So we getting Naval stuff down the line? Which does slightly concern me, because with their current vision of not every race being able to take over every city, I don't see dwarves crossing the sea for example.

>>135966708
yes there will be actual naval shit down the line

>>135966754

Noice, feared they axed it because CA, now it just needs to be better than Rome 2's naval combat.

>>135966094

Fuck the East it's boring desu

>>135966306

Might do that, I have an non aggro pact with huns so hopefully they stop fucking around and go back to ERE

>>135966923
He's talking out of his ass. They haven't said anything about the future of naval combat in Warhammer. All they've told us is that it's not in the first game.

>>135967047
Saying it's not in the first game is corporate doublespeak for "it'll be in the second game but we're not outright saying it just in case to avoid backlash should we choose to cancel it"

>>135967714
You're a terrible translator.
'Not in the first game' means you probably won't ever see it in a base game.

>>135967714
No it means, "we aren't including it in the game". I guess I should have worded it better.

>>135965915
Take Africa and turtle for a while and you should be in a pretty good place to defend when the huns come.

>>135961126
Well here is the problem, CDProject is catholics, so they can make something for free, CA isn't it's just not their culture.

How do I play the Migrators? I always start, play a couple of turns sacking some cities, then completely lose all direction and give up. Same goes for Hordes.

>>135968939
huns? just burn everything.

I like to make an attempt at historical boundaries for the other migration factions. Or sometimes even just try to take ridiculous objectives like a province in each corner of the map.

>>135968939
Make a goal for yourself, such as taking and holding certain regions, destroying x faction, staying as a horde etc.

If you play as Huns in Atilla do you get Atilla as a general and the ability to field miles and miles of no upkeep doom stacks?

>>135968718
...what?
>>135968939
You keep sacking if you're a horde, you find a comfy place to settle if you're a migrator and sack on the way.
Huns are incredibly boring.

use your fuckin faction bonuses to your advantage, ambush and burn all their fuckin cities to the ground till you can build up your own, also they have a chance for other muslims to come buttfuck them from the south at around turn 30ish so hold out for that

Tough call, maybe but it's hard to do.
Dwarfs look the most pleasing atm (in my opinion) and could kinda match the S2 aesthetics.
Maybe the reworked Empire troops look that good too.

You shouldn't be any further north than southern Italy. I'd recommend Africa. The most important thing is having a large body of water between you and the huns.

>>135971796
I think Napoleon is just as good. In battle effects were top fucking notch.

I've always been terrible at politics in Attila. My faction leader is going to die within the next few turns. He also doesn't have any children. My power is only at like 35%. is it even possible to fix this situation?

>>135983159
In my last play I stayed 2 turns in the Balkans to loot a roman settlement and I got almost raped by the huns in the process.

The Huns WILL go to the balkans and you start with them in a state of War, so you might aswell reload now.

But I don't wanna play with smelly Mannfred, I wanna play with Kemmler!

I have to run an errand quickly but FOTE should be updated to v5 on steam now. You should see new mod icons by our new team member Verzione for parts 1/2/3/4. I will work on updating KOTO for those who want AOC with fote skins but not fote mechanics soon.

In terms of changes:
-Sassanid roster revamped
-White huns revamped with Avetis' sub-mod.
-tech requirements removed for the desert kingdom units (that made them not appear on your building trees until after you had unlocked them. Now they are still building-tech locked by tier, so for instance your camel cata for Himyar are T4 barracks).
-Various bug-fixes.
-White huns need further stat balancing so bear that in mind.
-I'll try and catch whatever bugs you report when I am in this topic.

Fairly sure some areas like the mid-east mercs may be a bit messy still.

>>135991337
can white huns settle yet?

>>135991337

Yeah apparently the white huns are pretty damn OP and scarry. But Dresden will be looking at balancing them post-haste.

Will be around if there are any questions. Want to hear if the Sassanids are too easy or too hard.

Enjoy the pajammies.

Nah, that I think would involve startpos editing and some other stuff. Avetis' sub mod with the white huns will need to be updated to FOTE but when he does you'll be able to do his whole "White hun nomads or white hun sedentary faction" business.

So for now white huns will be like in vanilla, just with their new units. And because we aren't editing the startpos yet some of their starting armies begin with Germanic or Sarmatian units, but once the celts and nords are done we will look into finally editing the startpos

He means that the Teutonic Order became Prussia, which then became Germany.
Which is obviously a little strained, but they were responsible for an influx in Germanic settlers in the area.

It literally didn't. Brandenburg was the more powerful of the two during the merge but since prussia was outside of HRE it gave more independence to the Hohenzollerns. Prussia was a shitty backwater duchy that was a vassal state of fucking POLAND. The only reason hohezollerns ruled in it was because that spawn of satan heretic scum Grandmaster that betrayed the Catholic Church and formed a secular protestant state of Prussia was a Hohenzollern.

We're hoping for a late spring or summer release. Progress is going fairly well. There's a lot of shit we just don't get round to posting on the forum because its a lot of work. For example, the Celts are done, Galatia is done, Ptolemaic dynasty is done, Parthia is done, a shit load of UI is done, most building trees are at least planned with a lot already implemented. Family trees are done. Research is done. Shit, a lot is done, it's mostly a case of putting it all together now.

It will play quite differently on the campaign than R2 and Attila though, and it wont be everyones cup of tea. What we're doing with buildings is in way way simplifying it but in another way complicating it.

You're using mid tier Roman Heavy infantry against low tier Greek Hoptlites, that are more defensive then anything.

He is a really fucking pathetic human being with major emotional problems. He flipped out over a design disagreement and left the team because he felt offended. He was apologised to repeatedly but wouldn't accept it (even though no real offence was done it was just a heated debate but not even reaching 4chan levels, no insults) It was like 2 weeks ago, but he keeps coming back and bitching about different team members. Now he's saying we're probably stealing his work despite him saying its open source and we're free to use it. He says the team leader knows that we're coping it, when he really doesn't. Team leader isn't a coder and has no fucking clue, but regardless, causeless never even uploaded the file, and our new scripter is writing a new version entirely himself, which is actually better. Causeless is really butthurt over that and says he is defeated and has nothing in his life anymore. It's no issue for the mod, hardballer is our new scripter and he's already done what Causeless did and more in a short time.

I'll try, it's not my specific area of development though.

As the newer games have very limited building slots, we think its silly that a slot should represent, literally, a single building. Especially the main settlement line. Instead, what we're going for is that the main settlement line represents the status, development and level of the entire region. It's especially important when it comes to conquest, the line you choose to go down will make all the difference, such as the region being an ally, a client state, a colony, or just your own new land. Upgrading also means a lot. We don't want settlement upgrading to be easy like it normally is. What we want it to represent is more of a level of civilisation, of national development. Kind of like in Age of Empires where you go from Bronze age or Iron age, though not that extreme, upgrading the main settlement will probably be locked behind quite a bit of research and probably some other objectives needed. For this reason units are recruited from the main settlement line as well, so there won't be a barracks building. For other slots we haven't worked everything out yet but again we want to be of a much larger scope and scale than simply building a farm or potters hut. Probably more like different development paths such as Industrialisation, farming province, etc.

I really like the sound of this in principle, although I could see it becoming a mess without proper design discipline. I'll have faith in you guys, though.

Will there be major difference between regions? Caledonia et Hibernia or tiny Mediterranean islands should really never be as wealthy as Mesopotamia or Egypt in this era, one thing that bugged me as Attila was that your richest provinces could, by accident, end up being what should be backwaters.

>>135998779

No it's not which really sucks and is mainly the fault of CA being lazy, we have asked many times and they dont do it despite it being a small amount of work for them. We have managed to import all the R2 voice cries though so we can have units say "Triarii!" and such.

Units look the same, but every clan has a unique specialty and gets at least one kind of OP unit. And yeah archers are really strong, but they can be easily countered if know how.

Hey, Meloncat, this guy added me on Steam asking if he could collaborate with me on adding historical Arab units to my minor Tanukhids mod (all I do is change Empire of the East to Arab Empire, and make it so you only have to raze two Roman settlements).

I told him that I just use FotE for historical unit purposes, and he expressed interest in contacting you to discuss the Arab units. He says he's helped out other modders, and I take it from his non-native English that he may be an Arab himself... so, he could probably work with Arabic sources himself.

I know you've already done a ton of work on the Sands factions, but it might be worth it to talk to the guy.

The have one of the best infantry lines up in the games to be frank

Their early trash unit, the freemen, literally beat all those Roman spear units you'll meet early on and they're dirt cheap to recruit

Compared to every other germanic faction their infantry is underpowered. They could use a two handed unit or maybe some berserkers. Just anything that isn't painfully average.

I feel like letting the arabs live on in the south for a while longer, but only as cucks.

Hey, AE guy, are there going to be new and improved religions in AE, or are you going to go for something like Rome 2's culture system?

So wait a few more months and you won't be burned out of the time period when it finally gets released. I don't want to build the roman empire twice in a few months. That shit takes time I don't have anymore.

Thanks. I'd like to do it for other factions/cultures but since it takes a lot of work I'm going to need to triage who has higher priority and also risk diluting the diversity in some ways - like there are separate Himyarite, Tanukhid, Lakhmid generals (18 of each, and each one of those 18 need 3 or more versions) so I might just do a "Arab" version. Likewise although the Germans clearly deserve the general reskins the most there are so goddamn many (something like 8, again with 18 each and each one of the 18 needing 3 versions). I could divvy it up into a West German and East German but that might run the risk of a Frankish king and Alamanni General looking the exact same.

With the Roman generals I'm not sure if they really need it because they already look pretty good and all I could really do is mix in some Last Roman helmets and change their body armor but you wouldn't probably have mail-veiled and cataphract masked Roman generals. Maybe add in some trimmed beards for your Stilichos and Aetiuses.

It's been updated right now, but there will be an inevitable patch to deal with minor bugs and such in a few days or so.

I've never heard anyone else complain about this so maybe I'm just basic as fuck but I found carthage to be impossible to make war with early game while every other faction was easy as fuck to kill off. I still haven't played more than 150 turns in DEI because I always get frustrated with my constant stalemate against carthage.

It's literally an endless cycle of taking and losing the same settlements over and over when I try to play against them.

What the fucking fuck.

Interesting, will this help me get better in total war?

Is there any reason to choose one of the Nordic factions over the Saxons? It seems like they have an all around better roster.

Better starting position, resistant to cold fatigue, huscarls, comfy raiding campaign, safe from huns in homeland.

>>136002874
9gag is in that other tab bro.

>>136004951
And where is /tesg/ ?

>>136004492

Didn't see that, thanks for bringing it up. I'll pass on it for now as my priority is getting to the Celts and Nordics, but if I return to the arabs in the future I'll be sure to mention it here and see about talking to the guy.

>>136005373
Tesg has avatarfagging, but everyone is an avatarfag so it doesn't matter and they talk about the game in a way

Why have so many generals fallen into depravity /twg/? Will we soon succumb to the avatar and RP fagging as well?
