Day 895 since we settled in crimea

I am afraid of going outside of the peninsula without stumbling upon 3 hunnic stacks or leaving my only city open to invasion from huns.

Slav shits are dead, they were cunts but atleast they were company

Now im alone here in this shithole, with countless huns wandering in the wastelands of russia, they are out there...fucking horses...in the fog...

I am just waiting for them to actually move to europe to start colonizing

But I wonder how much longer am I going to have to wait.

ahhh...city...the eternal rome..

They're great for two-tier castles. slap em on the second wall and watch samurai drop just as they climb the first.

Single tier castles are pretty good as well, if you remember to rotate them out before the enemy finishes climbing.

Matchlocks should have an increased public order penalty, they should cause disorder wherever they are present, and they should cause all other units in the army to take a morale penalty.

Then buff their effectiveness accordingly.

>>138372963
Hmm if you take crossbows you are asking to get the slipped the dick. Archers counter horses archers because they are big targets and can out shoot them with more men. You already know that spears are good. If you want to fight the Huns go ahead, but you could also just pay him off and be friends, granted then Attila just destroys everyone for you.

it's not hard to set up certain places as military unit factories and use them to reinforce, you shouldn't build military building in every city.

>>138377639
I cant decide, they all look awesome

>>138377065
It's good and bad

On the one hand the slow regeneration makes things a lot easier, but if you get in a big fight and one gets wiped out you can't send one from your homeland recruitment province because of the general system. Either hire a new general and army to bring them all the way over and then merge, or run all the way back

>"But why would you not just recruit local units"?
Because the limited building plots mean you have to be pretty specific with the direction you take a province in. Why would I recruit shitter levies from the very edge of a giant empire instead of elites from the closest province with all the recruitment support buildings I was able to make?

In Rome, Medieval, Empire, and Shogun 2 for example I would have a few provinces with super high tier army buildings and all their supports, from there I'd send reinforcements to the front or small armies (like 4 units) to tail the main armies as reserves to get it back up to strength immediately or garrison newly conquered cities to let the boys keep going

Why the hell Generals were made mandatory makes no sense to me, it just made nearly every battle the same 20v20 and generals worthless because there's an infinite amount of them.

>>138377065

Just walk your unit to whichever appropriate city and retrain.

thats why I said that this army composition is for you if you are willing to be aggressive, your cav will intercept the hunnic shits before they hit the infantry and annihilate them because they are really weak, while your swords hold of the chosen uars (they will lose to uars, just not as quickly as the spears do, so your shock cav will have to hit the uars in the back)

What do traders and priest do in M2?

>>138382639
you move traders on top of a resource and they generate income based on the type of a resource, and then a couple of turns later get removed by enemy traders, which is why you should always keep assassins next to valuable resources

priests passively spread religion

"Female, please."
"Would you like Black or White?"

That's the /twg/ consensus on Hellenika so far?

The premises look good but I think they focus on historicity too much and the new mechanics make the game needlessly overcomplicated. My campaign lasted for 10 minutes, until I discovered that sieging units get +100% to upkeep, making it impossible to siege a town for a turn without getting into negative income. And I don't get their combat mechanics, with osthimos and shit.

I have no time for your Greek gibberish. They better fucking let me play as Persia.

I recently got that bundle with TW:Rome 2
any tips or things I should know, this being my first game of the series.

>>138389849

skip it and play shogun 2 first

>>138389849
Try uninstalling

>>138389849
The first and most obvious thing, memes aside, is to plan your province development, on the field you usually want a bunch of troops that can hold the line as a core, hammer and anvil is by far the simplest and most effective tool for a newcomer

>>138389849
>>138390043
>>138390095
Actually decent advice. Rome 2 is the worst since Empire

Napoleon, Shogun 2, and especially Fall of the Samurai & Attila are better games

Shogun 2 is a good one to start on, with its more scissor/paper/rock approach

>>138389201
Never heard of this mod.

>I have 1 (one) city and one stack that keeps getting damaged by passing hunnic stacks so I have to constantly refill
>Somehow I keep "growing" and my imperium keeps getting bigger

What the fuck is this mechanic?
I didn't move from my single fucking region since the start of the campaign because of my territory being some kind of huns highway and my imperium keeps growing, making my life only harder.

>fantasy trumps history

>To add to the Vamp con column, there are certain regions they cannot occupy, such as the Dwarf territories. That’s a plus for Dwarf commanders, which complements the reality that the diminutive faction can also make use of ancient tunnels to travel past armies or beneath occupied territory. The only toll is that using the tunnels activates an RNG mechanic as to whether an army makes it by successfully without being noticed by an above-ground faction, but there are abilities that can be invested in to improve the chances of success (or, conversely, improve the odds of intercepting such manoeuvres).

Holy shit does that imply above ground factions that detect an underground army can enter those tunnels to fight them? I thought only Greenskins and Dwarves can fight underground.

>>138395338
If you go down the middle civic branch as the Romans you start to loose the ability to make things like aqueducts because apparently CA is full of fedora-tipping Redditors.

>>138375702

I can't speak to Europa Perdita. For FOTE I didn't want to mess with the startpos mercenary placement, we will in the future so for now it was trying to jerry-rig stuff onto CA's. Unfortunately for this period you really would have a preponderance of Germanic mercenaries, while in the East I tried to go with the most broad categorization since CA had the same mercs in Anatolia as in the Iranian plateau.

Down the line you would see newer mercenaries/more varied ones, like off the top of my head: Basques/Gascons (light infantry/light cav), Isaurians in Anatolia (light infantry/melee infantry), Caucasus mercenaries such as the "Tzanic" ( https://books.google.com/books?id=o14KAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA441&lpg=PA441&dq=Agathias+histories+tzanic&source=bl&ots=65R7VXCil8&sig=o4Dl0Gh-zWow89dydTJG0HLFtv0&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwju8avqtYbMAhUHxiYKHRaYDlYQ6AEINzAD#v=onepage&q=Agathias%20histories%20tzanic&f=false Agathias refers to them as hoplites vs berber spearmen in the same army being referred to as 'spearmen', so it suggests they were heavier infantry of the line), a distinction between berber and arab mercenaries. But you wouldn't really see a major change in the European mainland as it's the German extravaganza period. Maybe some distinctions within Roman territory - Gallo-Roman mercenaries and those rebellious Bagadae peasants there, Equites Illyricani mercenaries in the balkans, and so on.
Taking a little break from modding but I will get back on it soon.

It's meant to represent the decline in technology/progress during the death throes of the WRE that coincided with the rise of Christianity. I don't think it's meant to imply Christianity is the cause, but I guess it could be.

WHAT'S THE APPEAL OF STUNTIES?

I mean really? what a fucking boring faction

You have hard as rock humans, fighting with jut their balls to all kind of monsters
then you have greenskins, fungus motherfuckers who bow down if there is no battle to fight, with all kind of monsters
Then you have undead, combat with your skelly bros
Chaos, motherfucking demons and Sigvlad who will penetrate your anuns with his 2 penises

And then, what's the dwarf appeal? what a boring race.

>>138395874
But it does by linking it with the tech that gives you bigger a better churches. If they wanted to have technology decline they should have done it some other way, like making some cities have libraries that when destroyed would lower you knowledge of certain things. It would both make more sense than attaching it to the tech tree and give ERE players a reason to actually help out the WRE.

>>138395874
They could have at least replaced aqueducts with something something that will make you spend money to build/repair from aqueducts

Playing Shogun 2
There's this faggot hiding in the trees with his fuck huge army and refuses to leave.
I have a shit ton of archers and a bunch of yari backing them up with a couple katana units.
How do I lure him out?
I've already tried running cavalry (my general) up into range of his archers to see if I can bait them but as soon as they become visible they're about to rain death upon him so I gotta bail, and then they don't follow.
How do I win?

>>138397014

>>138397571
If you're the attacker you have to take the fight to him, why would the AI purposefully gimp itself and leave a strategic spot? You wouldn't

>>138397724
I figured as much.
What's the most effective way of attacking into trees without getting fucked brutally?

>>138397790
Send infantry to establish where they are and circle them with your missile and cavalry units.

>>138397571
Shogun 2 had a very binary AI, if it was defending it would camp a hill and not leave until the end

So yeah, either dont fight open battles or lure stacks into your own castle and kill them there

What TW game or mod has the most satisfying archers? I've been playing a lot of M2 recently and it's just sad how little damage archers do

>>138398384

>>138398384
Shogun 2 - fully upgraded samurai archers can wreck whole armies.

>>138398582
Yes, but you might still be hiding or keeping the cavalry fresh while the infantry engages each other and then send them in to force a rout when you see a unit wavering.

That legitimately looks worse than medieval 2, what the fuck

I haven't ben paying close attention, will there be any factions that rely on few elite units in Warhammer TW? So far it looks like it's just the usualy spamming of 150 man line units for every faction

>>138403527
Empire?
Vampires Counts?

>>138403626
The empire used lots of cannon fodder, no?
And don't the vampire counts just summon a million skeletons?

>>138403527
chaos rely on chaos warriors and chosen.

plus ogre kingdoms.. they consist in elite big ass unit troops.

>>138403681
Vampire counts use really terrible cannon fodder units, with elite units to deal the damage.

daily reminder attila has 32 siege layout
total war warhammer has 3

>>138403681
Those factions rely on their elite units to win

>>138403880

I kinda meant just having the elite units
Oh well

what if you get 62-64 though?

>>138403286

Nuetral, they end up fighting the forces of evil almost as often as the forces of good.

>>138403829
good, I fucking hate sieges

>>138403527
High elves are quite like that on tabletop, although we don't know how well it'll translate into the game eventually. Even their base core weak troops outperform most other races by virtue of being able to bring an extra rank to bear in combat Warhammer tabletop only the first two ranks can fight in a combat unless they wield spears which gets another rank in the fight. High elves get another rank as a racial so their spearmen get 4 ranks which is a big deal and then support them with some of the best magic users in the game. Such as a spell which replaces their strength stat with their leadership stat, and high elves have the highest base leadership in the game.

Ogres are more likely to be the thing you're after, they're absolutely enormous and their entire faction is composed of super heavy units in small numbers.

>>138403942
Wait until elves and ogres are out, they will also likely have smaller armies. Also, you will have hero units in battles acting as magic support and tough melee fighters.

>>138403942
Every faction has elite units though.
You can field armies of just those as any faction

>>138404016
well that will be my first gameplay, fuck chaos and Vampire counts as Grimgor (killing all stunties first of course)

>>138403829
attila actually has more than 32, when we counted the last time everyone assumed that WRE and ERE have the same layouts, they dont which means that the total is closer to 40
