Their lines broken, our men pour into the main plaza.

The commander of the Roman garrison meets our own great general, Olympos, in combat. A microcosm of the greater battle, its end shall be the same.

Roma is ours! Praise be to Zeus, to Poseidon, to Ares, our divine patrons, who have given us victory this day!

Washington was actually incredibly famous in Western Europe (tends to happen when you beat on of the main European powers of the day with a ragtag army), especially with the common man in France who saw him as a modern Cincinnatus, a man of incredible moral principle who was offered the chance of absolute power, turned it down, and retired to be a citizen farmer. The French were very partial to the Americans in many ways, and during the early days of the Revolution would look at the Americans as an example of how to oppose tyranny.

If it wasn't for the skirmishers though I would have lost, when my middle line collapsed it was the perioikos who helped turn the tide, and it was they who helped relive pressure from the right flank that was charged with cavalry I accidentally gave the Carthaginians.

I think your soul ends up in the warp no matter what, and thus it will be in the grip of the chaos gods.
It wouldnt be as bad if the majority of those other souls werent really fucking mad aswell.
And if you chose to be a chaos worshipper they can do with you whatever they want, some get punished with some really nasty shit for all eternity, some get brought back etc.
But the imagination of going to hell where some red guy pokes you in the ass once a day with his flaming trident is really the best-case scenario

Depends where you die. If you die in an Imperial controlled world where the Chorus has protected the planet you'll get eaten by the Emperor. But, at least you'll basically be a charcoal briquette in the furnace that fuels humanity's salvation.
If you die close to Chaos areas, the Warp takes your life essence.

If you take the French castles the Frog AI will declare War on you because its programmed to take those at all cost, they might even backstab an Alliance with you to get them.

Thankfully, Rome reconquered Neapolis from the Etruscans, who we want to keep the peace with.

We'll cut our expansion in Italy after we take the entire province of Rome. Carthage can have the south.

We stand before Neapolis, ideally, our last fight with the Romans.

The enemy lie dead and battered.

A small breach in their line allowed us to move our Celtic warriors behind them, and the battle was over soon afterwards.

They dealt heavy casualties to one of our elite hoplites with their skirmishers, but their ranged troops melted under focused fire from our slingers.

Am I mad or did they get rid of aging character portraits in Attila? Faramund, King of the Franks, is pushing 72 in my game and he looks no different than when he was 25. Or did the barbars invent Just For Men too?

Speaking of stuff they got rid of, I remember in Rome 1 you could look around a city out of combat. It was pretty neat looking at all the buildings. Now, the only time you'll see them is the rare time they get besieged.

Jesus fucking christ. I know most soldiers died on the retreat being pursued by cavalry but how the fuck does shitty light skirmish cav kill over 150 hoplites in an instant?

Isn't there any R2 mod that has good campaign features without wonky battles?

This campaign is getting cozy as fuck. Nice little war in the south with the saxons, picts just paid me for a peace treaty, buffer states between me and huns.

I'm sure it's been worked on a ton since then. I am expecting the battles to be a similar length though. Just less weird shit.

What mod/s should I use for Rome 2 if I want to make massive land/naval battles that have more units than vanilla allows, and have them last longer so they are really battles of attrition and take long to finish?

>>136153129
I hope so, but aren't they trying to switch back to a 1hp system? I haven't seen any 1hp combat mod for R2 that worked. All it ends up doing is gimping javelins because they get the same effective missile damage as archers and slingers despite having less range and ammunition.

Move on. Atilla was one of the best TW titles ever and it was basically the testing ground for Warhammer.

And Warhammer could be the testing ground for the next 2 expansions.

>>136157668

>"Every major faction is planned for release"

>>136121151
so would total war help expand the lore on factions like the chaos dwarfs or is it just going to be a huge fuck up like rome 2?

Can the settlement management please be less finicky in TW:Warhammer?

It's nice that it didn't feel like an afterthought in Attila, but overall it required way, WAY too much effort for what is easily the least fun part of the game.

>>136122674

In 395AD, the emperor Honorius received a vision from a dark power that led him to oversee the abandonment of the entire Western Roman Empire for the shores of the Mediterranean at Tripolitana.

There he oversaw the establishment of various cults to this dark god and the slow resettlement of the former empire.

After reconquering all of northern Africa, and then Iberia, the year is now 429AD. Honorius was killed in battle against the Ostrogoths in Sicily on the road back to rome. But his son, Flavius Equitius Licinus, the new Emperor takes up the task of restoring the capital.

The shrine building provide 800 wealth from culture, and a +30% bonus to wealth from immigrants, and a -30% immigration penalties.

So in a province with two shrines built I have 90% immigration, giving a +25% increase to the whole province with 0 public order penalty.

That bonus is on everything, like a tax bonus, and at the moment it pretty much cancels out my corruption.

At the moment I have an income of 27k/turn while having 6 1/2 full stacks and 2 fleets.

History fags, that's right. And if they have their way, there will never be any TWWH, and CHAOS DWARFS WILL NEVER BE ANNOUNCED. By Hashut, I hope you diligent detectives can get to the bottom of this mystery!

Seeing how every stream we see of CA employess where they are embarassingly bad, it seems that they are indeed fucking idiots. I'm actually amazed that they still only release slightly above mediocrity. They have released games for almost 2 decades now and they are all very similar yet they still manage to fuck up some very simple gameplay mechanics. I just hope that one day I will experience the perfect Total War game without any glaring mistakes.

can anyone explain how to cycle cavalry effectively, i always get around 20 casualties when i try to disengage.

>>136178320
If you're playing Attila, cycling cavalry is high risk high reward really. You can get away with minimal casualties if you pull out immediately after a charge because they will knock down a lot of enemies. Turning your back to enemies will let them kill you easily if they are back in formation after the couple of seconds it takes for them to get back up.

>>136178320
In Attila it's a lot harder and only really works with Shock Cavalry. You need to pull them back right after impact when the enemy unit are still on the floor/recovering.

>>136178427
>>136178440
So basically you're saying that i should save cavalry to enemy missile units and for flanking.

>>136174781
What's wrong with Brothers of Metal?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsRt6NGAvk4

>>136178558
In the early phases of the battle yeah.
I assume you're talking singleplayer, so here's what I usually use my cavalry for: First priority is to kill the enemy cavalry as fast as possible so as to get map control. Next you use one or two cavalry units to chase the skirmishers while the other cavalry units hammer the weakest flank for an easy rout. By that time you just move down the line insta-routing one unit at a time and that's basically a guaranteed victory

Not him, but is it a bad idea to sacrifice my cav to take our arty? To sacrifice them in a "king of the hill" battle to stall the other army?

>>136178961
I'm generally happy to lose a unit of cav in order to stop their artillery, but as the ai is generally awful at using it it's not a huge deal unless they've got lots of it.

I just hate how it skews the autoresolve bar so much. And that they are terrible for me in defensive town battles to fight against.

Is using cav against core units not advised?

Post your basic early game army set-up for various factions and campaigns, I'd like an idea of what sort of variation /twg/ has when they start up a game.

I sometime feels that the artillery kills more of their own then my units.

>>136177335
I'm still fairly new to the generals but that's nice to hear. Feels like I'm in at the right time.

>>136178961
Since cavalry is the best unit type in the game it's generally a bad idea to sacrifice your cavalry just for arty, unless it's large onagers. Normal onagers never get near 100 kills for the AI so it's never a priority for me to clear out their arty. But if it's left undefended I will definitely charge for it as fast as possible.

As the huns.
Horse archers x 19 = profit

>>136179338
As almost anyone

1 General
3 Arty
4 Archers/Crossbows
2 Skirmishers/Axemen/Shock Cavalry
6 Swordsmen
2 Spearmen
2 Melee Cavalry

>>136179338
8 Hoplites - 4 Peltasts - 1 general - 4 Cavs - 2 Mercenaries (usually swords or elephants)

Also Grace is a whore

Aragorn is more like Med2, long lost king.
Also, graphic in TWW looks worse than Attila and Shogun 2.

>>136179338
I use very standard armies early game and then very faction specific armies in mid-late game.
But my composition is usually:
General
4 cav (with at least one shock cav)
4 sword inf
2-4 spear inf
2-4 missile units
and then the rest of the army is for countering specific factions (more spear units against horse fuckers, more cav against barbar-scum etc.)

>>136179338
Hellas: 1 Cav general
5 ranged skirmishers
4 citizen cav/merc
10 hoplites(what ever I can afford)

Rome: 1 cav general
Equites 5
War dogs /skirmishers 4
Hastati 6
Triarii 4

Gaul: 1 cav general
10 militia spears
6 archers
4 cav

>>136179467
Cav is best unit? Mine always get rekt when they engage. Maybe I've been playing as Rome too much

I'm waiting on some jewtube commentary though everyone I know who played it at gamescom and shit said it looks incredible. I guess the retarded colour schemes don't help like the bright yellow black orcs.

Foot Companions are best melee unit. No other melee/cav/special melee can beat them in a head to head encounter.

>>136179960
I've played it. It's a bit lacking like all modern TW games. Units feel very weak, they can't hold, its like the combat is too fast and they die and route too easily. I know it's fantasy not history but you cant really form any sort of line or use any historical tactics, it plays more like a typical old school RTS, just spam every unit onto another to do the most damage.

The AOS rule-set isn't that bad DESU (other than rolling to take turns). It's the setting that sucks the most ass

>>136180451
>It's the setting that sucks the most ass
But it's the same as WHFB, but now with multiverse, and thtat's why warhammerfans support Age of Sigmar instead of dead shit like WHFB.

Don't just charge them into massive blobs for prolonged combat. Use them for rear charges on depleted units so they will rout and free up some more infantry.

I've played it too. I think the combat feels a lot like Shogun II when it comes to speed and impact and all that. Pretty cool actually.

They're dwarves, they aren't the most diverse lot.

I agree. I've been lurking most of the time here but I can actually contribute here without having retarded shitspergin autists going apeshit at every chance they get.
