Who started the collision meme?
Will we get news today?
threadly reminder there will be vampire qts
I gotta say
I thought latin sounded a bit nicer. It sounds a bit choppy

>>136066286
While medieval 2 cav charges are pretty shitty looking, that shitty charge was basically caused by inflated stats.
>gunpowder units don't fire properly for no reason
Every fucking time ;_;
>>136066641
Obviously it sounds choppy, no one speaks it nowadays it's impossible to speak it like someone of the time would
>>136066641
First of all, those guys are speaking with strange accents
Second of all, they're pronouncing v's like we do, whereas in Latin they are actually pronounced like w's.
why the fuck does the campaign map on vanlla stutter so bad
i have an i7 and a 970 and it's just embarassing
If you want fantasy just play radious
>>136067154
Reminded that Total War games are alternate history, and by definition, are part of the genre historical fantasy, a subset of fantasy as a whole.
> Tomb Kings still not announced
>tomb cucks actually expect CA to have anything outside of The Old World in the first game of the series
1-2 Balkan Tribes
3-4 Gallic Tribes
5-6 Successor Kingdoms
7-8 Iberian Tribes
9-0 Eastern Cucks
Daily reminder there is absolutely nothing wrong with CA's DLC practices with the exception of Day 1 DLC
>>136067479
Hi Radiuos,can you add armored indian elephants to other eastern factions such as white huns and lakhimids?
>>136066546
Considering that they released the VC roster yesterday, I don't think we'll see any more content this week because of easter.
>>136067743
If people aren't going to post it right, they shouldn't post it all
>>136065751
But anon I have a toaster from 2006, nothing would run beautifully.
Why can't historical lovers and fantasy lovers love each other? Why can't we be friends?
>Vampire Counts have no ranged
So basically, even the Huns could beat them
>>136068147
or Kislev
Really hoping for Kislev DLC or a mod that adds basically the Kislev roster from COW
>New FOTE also reskins minor factions in AOC
How nice
>>136068243
Dont worry anon, TTW is going to have an absolute shitton of DLC
>can already feel the debt
>>136067921
I wonder if Bretonnia will feature at all in the pre-launch trailers. They basically revealed they'll be a dlc faction so they might as well show off the roster.
>tfw Brussels business giving me an urge to remove for the lady
>>136068147
Well, if we're talking about it in terms of undead magically appearing in the real world, how much damage is an arrow actually going to do to a walking corpse?
It's not even like VC undead can be killed by headshots, a lot of the skellies have quite clearly had their heads caved in and are still mobile.
>>136066630
>qt
>>136068497
I think there is a lot of ambiguity about the undead for the very reason of trying to explain it will always end up being retarded.
>>136068147
>Swarms of giant bats

Skellies should be immune to arrows

>>136066851
>they're pronouncing v's like we do, whereas in Latin they are actually pronounced like w's.
Great, now I've got it into my head that Romans sound like Chekov.
>>136068776
why?
>>136068640
It's a bad angle alright?
>>136068776
They are not in the lore, tabletop or novels, so why should they be in TWW.
Hell, CA doesnt even obey real world arrow features for their 'historical' games. Pike walls were infamous for being able to take a pounding of arrows because their pikes acted like a natural shield from shots, yet in every game ever with pikes they are always weak as shit to ranged.
>>136068776
Pretty sure most fantasylands give them a ridiculous resistance (like +300% armor) to arrows.
>>136068824
They pass straight through and there's no flesh to cut to inflict a wound, the most you'll accomplish is cracking or bifurcating a single rib or something.
>>136068824

What, bats and flying undead monsters can't catch some poxy horses? I doubt that tbqh senpai
>>136068672
The Vampire Counts armies in the Warhammer setting are basically invincible until their leader is killed which happens to all the Von Carsteins. The Tomb Kings are slightly different because they are all animated by their souls which get bound back into their remains with varying success though they are also virtually impossible to destroy which is why they can compete in a gunpowder age with bronze weapons and armour. I hope they have the curse on the Tomb Kings so that whichever unit that slays them is eaten alive by scarabs.
>>136068874
>Pike walls were infamous for being able to take a pounding of arrows because their pikes acted like a natural shield from shots
Maybe towards the back, but the poor bastards at the front are just as vulnerable as anyone else.
>>136068874
Probably because if they were strong against ranged too they'd be the only (melee inf) unit you'd ever need, all other infantry becomes instantly redundant.
>>136068943
Presumably in a magical land the magic huns have magic horses or something
Or they have spatial magic that maintains a set distance from a targetI have no idea if spatial magic is even in WH
>>136068886
>They pass straight through
Wat
Bones are a physical thing, arrows are powerful. Skeletons should be tough but theyre not indestructible.
>>136068796
>yfw when Caesar didn't say veni vidi vici
>He said weeni weedi weeki
>>136068996
>Maybe towards the back, but the poor bastards at the front are just as vulnerable as anyone else.
Hardly, you still have a solid wall of wood between you and any arrow, and a second wall coming from behind, not to mention one over your head only a foot above you
I bet it would becosy
>>136066174
>>136067508
>tfw no Tomb Kings
>>136069017
>wat
The abdomen and torso of a skellington is basically a stick and a hollow jail cell, arrows literally can go between the cracks. It's harder to even hit to begin with (basically accuracy)
Then you account for the fact that most arrows are designed to do damage by piercing and cutting ("slashing"), both damage types skellingtons are traditionally strong against.
>>136068901
>those comments
>Watch out isis. Deus vult.
Yeah, watch out for youtube comments by people that are basically roleplaying.

>posting a frenchman
For now theyre still majorly Christian.
>>136069017
Yeah, the odds of an arrow breaking a major bone are pretty low. Most of the time they're going to glance off and even a plumb hit isn't guaranteed to snap the bone completely and disable the skeleton.
Plus they have shields and armour.
Realistically you're not going to carry enough arrows to cause noticable damage to a skeleton unit.
That's why you need warhammers.
>>136069092
Direct fire from the front should hit the front ranks just fine, though. Getting attacked from the sides or rear would still be damned painful, too.
>>136069097
Assuming CA is lazydo we even need to assumechances are Tomb Kings will be in the first expansion because most of the skeleton warriors are already done for Vampire Counts.
100% chance first expansion has Elves in it though.
>Lizardmen will be last
>>136069326
Or magic. Skellingtons get fucked by magic.
>>136069017
Skeletons have been vulnerable to blunt damage and resistant to everything else in quite a few settings.
>>136069123
IThe skeletons are in massed ranks so its more likely you'll hit bones even if its skeletons in the preceding ranks.
>>136069326
Or guns.
Meloncat my man how are these niggas medium cav, they are heavier than most medieval cav
Also I just found a bug I think, this weird shadow that is being cast on the shoulders
>>136069326
>this triggers the skeleton
>>136069123
I dont know what planet you live on. Just because something has holes between the ribs or no flesh doesnt mean it cant be hit. They should be harder to hit thats it
>>136069459
>CA wont release any videos on Chaos because they know it will lead to massive amounts of shitposting
>wont get to see any of these cool units in action before release
God fucking dammit, Chaos actually looks unique and fun in this rather than just being 'humans with spikes'
>>136069459
Compared to humans in tight formation, skellingtons in tight formation have a much better chance of dodging arrows outright
They also need to be hit dead-on with the arrow, if it's a little off it'll glance and leave a little dash on the bone but that's it.
>>136069419
And guns and tanks.
>>136068028
Because some of the Fantasy Warhammer cunts hate us and think this place is theirs now
>>136069556
They said they will show them in streams soon
>>136069459
How happy they look.
>>136069579
Now now, lets not pick sides.
There are enough faggots here already.
>>136069632
"Soon"
>>136069661
I'm not picking sides, some Warhammer fans are either baitingprobablyor just have a hatred for "Historicucks".
Threadly reminder.
>>136069651
>Hey guys! Look how awesome we look! Dont we look awesome! You didnt even know we were going to be in the game aren't you happy now to know you get another faction!
>OMG FUGGING DAY 1 DLC THIS IS BULLSHIT FCK CA CUNT JEWS
And then Chaos went back into the wastes and cried itself to sleep
>>136069552
That's literally what I fucking said, I didn't say skellingtons are immune to arrow fire I said fantasies normally make them VERY resistant.
What are you on about? Imagine trying to hit three spaced chopsticks with an arrow as opposed to a meatloaf, which one is easier to hit? With 20+ arrows, which one do you think you did more damage to?
Bones are tough as fuck, an arrow isn't going to shatter them for the most part especially since most arrows are designed to cut flesh, they're not heavy enough to blast through bone.
>>136069387
Given that they implied Skaven will be in the first expansion, I don't blame them if they're feeling a little lazy on one faction. Skaven are probably going to be the single most difficult faction to add given how fucking crazy and unique their everything is.

>>136069515
Another example, side by side with one that works
>>136069872
I'm not picking sides, I'm kinda looking forward to a fantasy Total War, its just that some people on "the Warhammer side" are actual cunts. I just want my threads to pass without those people saying History total war should leave or that they are the only reason /twg/ is alive.

Fuck muslims.
How do I git gud as Alans? I've tried migrating south toward Egypt, but that's turned out to be a very bad idea due to ERE doomstacks chasing me down at every turn.
Would I be better served taking a turn towards Europe and settle somewhere like Italia or Spain?
>>136070113

>>136070065
>mfw this wouldn't have happened if Belgium didn't exist

I can't believe he still uses that and expects it to work in modern Total Wars. Spaghetti lines haven't worked since Empire.

>>136070113
Yeah, the AI flanks his numerically superior force and tears up one of his units from the rear.
>>136069097
Why the fuck would there be Tomb Kings? Do you see Nehekhara on this map? Well congratulations you figured out why there's no Tomb Kings.
>>136070215
It would have taken me forever to build the 2 stacks desu.
>>136070297I wanna fucc
>>136070214
Spaghetti lines work, they are meta for multiplayer because you envelop the enemy and cause flanking hits and morale debuffs
It was severely nerfed in attila with the outnumbered thing and the charges wrecking spaghetti lines
What happened to Rome 1 and Medieval's great sound design?
>>136070306
>getting outsmarted by the fucking battle AI of all things, not even the campaign which on occasion does intelligent things to trap you, the battle AI which routinely slams cav into pikes

Either they've really improved the AI or he's shit. I'm hoping the former has at least some partfuck him, he isn't my friend anymore
>>136070297
>Zoroastrian suicide bombers in België, province of the Netherlands.
>>136069803
You said they shouldnt be able to get hit by arrows as they pass through.
>>136070442
Not even the normal campaign AI. This was the Quest battle AI that does the exact same things every single time and he still lost to it three times.
>>136070442
Remember before Rome 2 came out and they showed battles where "AI" beat devs? Where "AI" actually flanked and did anything remotely intelligant?
Remember how bullshit that was?
>>136068028
>Why can't historical lovers and fantasy lovers love each other? Why can't we be friends?
Fantasy lovers supports casualisation and bad optimisation of Total War games and just as all warhammerfans they are toxic as fuck.
>>136070417REDDY FOUR BATTTUUUUUUULLLL!
WAERRIERS ALLLL!
OUR WHORESES LUV BLUD!
>>136070546
But Zoroastrians wouldn't suicide bomb, hell they don't even convert you. My friend is Zoro and he says that if you ask to join you get a polite version of 'please fuck off we're full'. All they do is fuck their sisters and bath in bull piss.
>>136070587
I never said you couldn't hit them at all. The idea was that a good fraction of them would pass through the holes in their body and it's an overall smaller target to begin with.
>>136070638
Meh, they do try to do that on occasion. At least they do it with cav.
>vampiresses
Does this mean we'll get female warrior-priests and witch hunters?
Has anyone seen my Legions around?
>>136069987
>I'm not picking sides
>does it for the third time
>>136069579
>>136069743
but literally everyone on here plays the historic titles as well. When Rome II or Attila released there wasn't much love for Shogun 2 either its just a cycle.
>>136070992
Legions gone m8
Think I saw Varus with them, last
>>136070989
Maybe we'll finally have female generals and female faction leaders so I can RP being the bottom bitch of whoever the most influential general is
>>136070352
Horde faction
Is FotE better than Vanilla for WRE campaigns? I want do do WRE when I finish my Franks campaign, and part of me wants to do vanilla first but the other part of me doesn't want to play 2 WRE campaigns and would rather just play the superior version.
>>136071148
Yep
>>136070992
Yeah, Proserpina is sucking them off in turn right now.
>>136071148
FoTE is better for basically everything.
Is Conflictus Antiquarum Culturarum any good for Rome2?
>>136070992
>>136071117
You just got Varused
FUCKING VARUS!
GIVE ME BACK MY LEGIONS!
>>136071146
Tomb Kings makes no fucking sense as a horde. Yes they occasionally go on crusades to recover stolen treasures but by and large they stay in theirHOVELSand kill unwary trespassers or invaders.
>>136071120
You're chip out of luck with basically every faction at the moment. Dwarfs won't have females because all of their models are male (or they'll all have rockin' beards, hope you like Eurovision), Chaos is 24/7 angry Nordic men with muscles for days, Orcs are Orcs, and as far as I'm aware the Empire doesn't have any female captains or generals.
>>136071337

>>136071687
Don't they just kind of wallow in their misery alone in the desert and become top REEEE whenever someone else comes in?
>>136071750
Pretty much. Tomb Kings would be a cool non-playable faction for a DLC campaign where you are trying to recover some artifact from their land or something and they would be fun in custom and online but I dont see how you could play a campaign as them.
>>136071750

>>136071557
anon what the fuck is wrong with you
>>136071148
Yeah it is. The WRE roster is terminally boring without it.
If they made tomb kings I would be very upset if they didn't include a unit of dancing skellies that scares the enemy
>>136072174
Musicians playing Spooky Scary Skeletons on xylophones made of ribs would be good enough for me.
>>136069515
I didn't touch the white huns, it's Avetis' stuff. Dresden is going through and rebalancing them to be in line with our stuff more.
Also looks like I need to dampen the shine on those laminated arm-guards, yeah. Either it's missin a normalmap or the gloss is too high.
>>136070761
They had sporatic reeee-ing at Christians back then when the Romans became Christian (before they co-opted the Nestorians) and because Christianity was rapidly becoming popular in their empire so the nepotistic Magi got jelly. But it wasn't anything too bad since Mesopotamia was mostly Christian or Jewish and they wanted to keep it chill. Otherwise it was more realpolitiking fear of Armenia becoming Christian and aligning with the Romans or too much Christianity in the Iranian heartlands threatening the hegemony of the Magi.
Now Manichaeans, for some reason they fucking hated those guys. Everyone did, though. Jews I'm not sure about but Christians really hated Manicheans.
>>136066983

>>136072246

There's nothing stopping the Empire having female generals and captains really. There's no restriction in it in lore. There's even an elector countess.
>>136072134
Are you telling me you don't want to feel how rough Carthaginian sailor hands are after you get terminally rekt by them in the punic wars?

Why was CA so retarded?
Literally all they had to do to avoid the Chaos DLC shitstorm, or at least severely lessen it, was WAIT to tell people about it.
Build up the hype, have people slavering for info and then drop "Hey, guess what, there'll be a FIFTH faction at launch!"
Sure some people would still have been pissed that it's a preorder thing, but a lot, possibly even most, would just have been happy that Chaos was in there at all and that there'll be 25% more content than they expected.
Despite not liking pre-order DLC myself I still think the backlash was overblown, but really CA is entirely at fault for the sheer magnitude of the backlash given how poorly they handled the reveal.

This reminds me, is there a mod that removes all the mixed and purely female units from factions that aren't steppe people for Attila yet?
>>136083801
They did make them that big, but they definately didn't stick them on fucking wheels and use them as battlefield artillery.
Those are seige engines that'd be constructed in situ. If you tried pushing something that heavy across a field, it'd have sunk into the ground and immobilised itself before you got two metres.
The cheiroballista was the only battlefield artillery that saw regular use, although smaller onagers and the like were used sometimes as well.
Yo Justinian, you could send some of those legions to do some rebel whack a mole right about now.

If you wanna go independent republic, then you get a lot of land(but not so much that you cause "realm divide") and turtle up.

Total War games have been a disappointment since Fall of the Samurai. There's literally been no game or dlc where it hasn't failed to meet expectations or better them. Warhammer will probably go the same way and its already caused a lot of resentment so I don't think anyone is hype. Look at the preorders they are laughable at this stage.

I don't have skirmishers myself, just slingers.
I could always win a siege battle like this in Attila, but the settlements here don't have the same copy+paste inner keep with battlements and 3-4 ramped chokepoints.
I've got phalangitai at the chokepoints to the interior, but I don't know how long they'll hold against Roman units.
And I only have two cav, if they have any infantry in reserve, they'll wreck me before I can rout their skirmishers.

Shield wall improves a units melee attack which is shit. Romans didn't use testudo following Diocletians reforms and rarely used it even in the manipular days. They locked shields with a kneeling front rank and the back rank slotted their shields over the top.
>>136097515
Food in Attila directly affects the public order of a province depending on how much they import. If you think northern Europe couldn't provide itself with grain or had to import it you're a retarded fuck.

Oh Zeus fucking dammit, I forgot about the fucking capture mechanic again. What the fuck is the point of the higher acropolis if the capture point is in the center?
They flood the capture point before I can get my infantry out to hold them, and it all goes south from there.
I reload the battle, because otherwise I'd ragequit out of the entire campaign for losing on a technicality instead of actual combat.

Looks like their reinforcements will get here before the moshpit dies.
We'll try and hammer-anvil them with our Celtic units and cav. Hopefully the Celts can hold long enough for this to work.
>>136101856
They actually don't. If they get off a volley before they charge each other the fight is very toe to toe. I've had many situations where both units (trecios and katana samurai) broke at the same time.
The moment this releases I am buying Attila
>>136102560
I've had many situations where katana just raped me
>>136102368
Fuck. I knew I should have waited for the Celts to show up and send them at the back of the moshpit.
We pull one light hoplite unit off to meet the incoming Romans, and we are readily defeating the unit of Rorarii on that side... but our Celts on the left are getting wrecked.
Worse, the Romans are bringing up their cav and skirmishers who were previously waiting off in the distance. Hopefully our own cav can take care of them, but that means no using them to hammer the infantry.
Far far off, the much larger main Roman army is on the way. If we don't defeat the first force without taking heavy casualties, we're very likely fucked.
>>136102764
Are they doing a campaign though? Still no map editor...

>>136103960
You said nothing of worth, even if the things you mentioned could be considered as weaknesses it would be nothing compared to actual issues the other games have, ergo Attila is the best game.
>>136103830
Probably because they take a lot of resources to make and you're completely wrong about it prolonging the life of their game. There is one mod for shogun 2 that makes use of their official map editor and that's it.
Time to wipe out the Grethurgians or what they're called.
Also pretty cool that my general ackowledged this is the last of the enemy, should listen to speeches more often.
>>136104060
Fucking hell, their units are just too tough to rout with hammer and anvil. I still haven't killed the initial moshpit, they keep fucking routing every unit I send at their rear.

Nah, LoTR is more close to usual Total War.

Warhammer isn't getting an assembly kit, so that wouldn't be a good idea.
It'd be best to just work on as much as you can now for Attila, and then wait for the Total War game with map editors comes out in half a decade or more and port it over then.

We finally achieve victory at the first moshpit, by simply wearing the enemy down.
We also somehow win the moshpit at the right, where we had both of our general units against what look like lower-tier Roman units. We saw an opportunity to get our slingers behind to shoot at them in the rear, and that put them to full rout.
All that's left is the fucking triarii moshpit.

The enemy is finally put to rout in full.
It is a costly, bloody victory, but victory nonetheless. Our men cut down most of the surviving Romans while they run for their lives, and, if our wounds are not too severe, this may give us the opening we were looking for to invade Roman Italy.

These guys have seen some shit. Half or more of their comrades have fallen before their eyes. None of them are from this area - few Celts and no Greeks are native to Venetia. Thousands have met their end, fighting to defend or to take a foreign city on foreign soil.
But to think of the fallen does no good for them or for us, and it is better to be thankful, and to celebrate those of us who are still alive. In our army, there is no more Celt or Greek, only proud warriors of Massalia.

>>136108661
I don't have any choice mate, if I don't push now Rome will just fortify their border settlements, and they'll shit out men faster than I can.
I need to shift the balance quickly, while they're still recovering from their huge loss at Patavium.
Ariminum us ours, and Rome's legions are nowhere to be seen. I'd guess that they're off trying to remove Carthage from Sicily.

yes but those will be in DLC unit packs.
Vamps however seem tobe missing units that should've been in the game at launch. at least that's what I think CA is hinting at
The romans fall before us like drunken whores
>>136110836
The Arverni move along, and we even sign a trade agreement.
However, Rome fortifies the fuck out of the City, and some barbars in the eastern Alps declare war on us, probably hoping to nab Patavium while we campaign further south in Italy.

Can I save it?

wew lad
what a thread
>>136113106
ebdanians javs are incredibly well armored and can hold their own in melee long enough for someone else to come help them, with lighter javs you just use them as any other hammer, flank or hit in the rear
if you are good at micro you can also kite with one unit while shooting with another
>>136114604
Wait what...Is my character literally raising his wife's son?
Estalia DLC never.

>rome falls to a small band of men with ladders
i fucking hate this game
>>136115263
Et tu, ladders?
>>136115161
Good.
>>136114558
ok, but only once.
>>136114285
They've got a lot of skirmishers on the walls, so I put some slingers under our hide-covered galleries, hoping that the enemy wastes their ammo on them.
>>136115468
I agree, there are factions far more deserving of release.
How do I even teppo in S2?
They take fucking forever to position to fire and by the time they star shooting someone is already there to kill them.
>>136115797
yeh like lizards
>>136115797
Then what should they sell as DLC? it needs to be exciting if they want people to buy it.
>>136115713
What the fuck is the point of these things?
They barely did fucking anything, the men bunch up at the front where they get no fucking protection.
>>136115843
Or Ratmen.
>>136115950
Races and Units etc would be fine, I wouldn't mind a minor states faction pack (Kislev, Tilea and Estalia) and a blood pack at some point too.
>>136115593
Whoa, man! Don't go on ruining the /twg/ golden token economy! Only one save allowed.

are they the egyptian skeletons?
>>136115980
Oh, they were fucking great if you don't actually attach your men to them.
Good job CA.
>>136116298
You goddamn retard come at them diagonally and they won't hit you
>>136116298
The enemy has wasted all of their javelins, and we are free to bring up the siege ladders.
Things are proceeding well, Rome is starting to fall finally and things with the huns have calmed down.
It looks like I own a lot but it's just 9 settlements lol

Pretty much
>>136116417
I've never used these things before, before battle I thought they were going to be fucking siege towers or something.

The first Gaul over the walls of Rome in 200 years!
>>136116924
So many bald people
>>136116924
Greeks join their Gallic comrades on the walls, and the Romans are quickly overwhelmed.
Night battles are so cozy. Especially when there's campfires!
>>136115126
KEK
>>136117389
The gates are ours!
Our army pours into Roma, the city now defenseless against our grand army.
>>136118106
>No blood DLC
>>136118106
My siege of Rome was better tbqhwyf
Out of fucking nowhere, Hun rapestack
>>136118106
The Romans fight desperately to save their great city, but it shall be to no avail.
He sees them conquering in a straight line,
That's not really his style
And they all got the same Hellenism
But his is falling behind.
Nothing in this world could
Ever bring them down
Yeah, they're invincible, and He's just in the background
And He says
I wish that I could be like the Seleucids
'Cause all the Seleucids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the Seleucids
Like the Seleucids
>>136118662
>free units
This is what I hated about the mongols in M2TW. Here I was with 5 armies I orked oh so hard to maintain, and they just walk around with 15 like its nothing, because it is nothing. Fuck the mongols.
>>136118776
It has come to a final melee in the main plaza. The Romans have sworn protect their sacred shrine with their lives, and we will help them to keep that vow!
Does anyone have the pic of the ERE guy paying the Hun to fuck off?
>>136119065
Showing yet again that CA was always horrible at creating endgame challenges.
>>136109113
>>136108821
I always think how great not savescumming would be but then I always hate losing a battle that I know is winable. Or sometimes I want to try something outside the box even though safe tactics can win
I can't wait to pirate TWWH just so I can shitpost about how bad it is.
>>136119691
I wonder how much of a threat Chaos is going to be in Warhammer, both when the first game is released and at the end of the trilogy.
I feel like the corruption mechanic would help make them more challenging than spammed doomstacks.
>>136119691
>tfw Warhammer is the first Total War where I actually want to play a campaign with every faction in the game
I am going to put so many hours into this game it's unreal.
>>136119691
Lets not forget that the AI zerg rush breaks pike lines. You can put several lines of them, and the only thing you would be doing is stalling their breaking. You have to use them in the open or they dont work.
>>136120070
CA's campaign screenshots show them to be an absolute wrecking ball against the AI, at least. The Empire was almost always gone if not controlled by the player.
>I suppose they wanted me to become another Washington
Is this an actual quote by Napoopan, or just something Americans claim he said?
>>136120023
Fucking this. When I KNOW I fucked up and losing is completely my fault because I did something stupid I have a hard time not loading back.
>>136120278
VC seemed to be wildy successful and the dwarfs stayed pretty much constant. Seems like corruption will be a major player for the ai.
Is there a way to release a nation as a satrap?

>Another leader, one credited with saving the French Revolution, Napoleon Bonaparte, unlike Washington betrayed the very people he supposedly saved, when he crowned himself "Emperor". After his defeat, while imprisoned on the Isle of Elba, he wrote: "They wanted me to be another Washington".

Based Napoleon.
>>136120505
The Empire campaign looks to be the most challenging on the surface. They have to contend with the apparently powerful Vampire Counts, roving Orc warbands, and also act as the frontline against the Chaos rapetrain.

Napoleon didn't betray the people. He had almost universal support amongst the French people. Hell, he had more support in the public than most of the modern "democratic" governments do. He wasn't an emperor of France, he was the Emperor of the French.
>>136121497

This. Napoleon was the people's champion. He was the second coming of Caesar.

Could you be any more pleb.
This is honestly the surest sign that someone is retarded, because they cite Shogun 2 as superior to Atilla.
Shogun 2 is far more simplistic than Atilla, as a result of Shogun 2's rock-paper-scissors design there's less wrong with it than Atilla.
The more moving parts, the more likely something is to go wrong.
Atilla is more flawed, but being more flawed does not make something inferior, as Atilla's ambition vastly exceeds that of Shogun 2.
