>OVERCASTING SPELLS
Double click a spell (it needs to be a boostable spell and you need to have enough magic in the magic pool) to overcast the spell
There's a 50% chance that the caster damages itself though!
>QUEST BATTLE TELEPORT
Select your lord (make sure he isn't garrisoned or in a stance)
Select the quest battle (on the map or through quest log)
There's a button in the bottom right of the quest battle window that you can use to teleport for 5k gold (when the battle's finished you're automatically teleported back to your original position)
>GROUP ATTACK
Group units with ctrl + g
Select your group and right click the enemy
All your units move and automatically direct themselves to and engage enemies they get close to while maintaining formation

Fuck off
Bretonnia when?
I just got that Rome feeling again, but I really don't want to play rome 2. Ancient empires when?
>>146188056
REMOVE KEK KNIGHT
Also, if Bretonnia is an unknowing, unwilling defender of the wood elves, why do wood elves sometimes kill knights?
>>146189019
To test them. Or to just fuck with them because muh forest and kill everyone that slightly looks at the area funny. I doubt the wood elves themselves know the workings of their god.
>>146189019
Trespassing.
>>146188056
THE VOICE ACTOR FOR THE EGYPTIAN PIKEMEN IS THE SAME GUY WHO IS VOICING KARL FRANZ. IMMERSION SHATTERED.
If I asked for someone to give me a quick no meme replay to Fantasy lore, will I just get memed or would someone enjoy regurgitating lore info?
>>146189313
Well it's a well known lore fact that Karl Franz is a tomb kangz puppet. Why even play the game if you don't know ANYTHING about the source material?
>>146189364
Good God, I can't be arsed to explain all of Warhammer Fantasy's lore to you.

>>146189303
Also fighting. Sometimes, some Bret duke decides he's had enough of this fey bullshit and tries to burn down part of the forest. He inevitably loses because Athel Loren and Arden are magical as fuck and none of the other nobles are inclined to help him.
>>146189524
Ok!
Why are norse men so tall?
Why are there Giant skulls everywhere?
Are Giants smart, or are they Orc levels of dumb?Or are they just permanently drunk?

If you need some quick info

But ask away, it's better than BF1posting
>>146190092
Same reason real life Nordic people are tall
A lot of giants died in that place
They used to be elf levels of intelligent, with a great civilization and all, but they were culturally enriched by ogres and driven from their homes in the mountains. Since then, they have been forced to inbreed and live wandering existences, which has made them dumb as hell.

>>146190092
Norscans are like Spartans. Their entire society revolves around fighting each other, so strength and power are their only respectable qualities. Sickly or misshapen babies are thrown out immediately and generally only the hardiest and strongest men survive to father the tribe's next generation. This cycle repeated for thousands of years has produced Norsemen.
I have no idea about the mountain skulls. Maybe they exist because they look cool. Maybe it has something to do with the winds of magic changing the landscape. The skull is a pretty common image in the Empire as well.
The Giants got their shit kicked in by Ogres. They scattered to the winds and lost their civilization and were forced to inbreed to keep their race alive. They are smarter than a lot of orcs, but dumber than most goblins.
>>146189019
Asrai really, REALLY don't like people fucking with their forests, they're happy to have Bretonnia as a buffer between their forest and the world, but they don't want Bretonnians deciding the trees aren't so scary anymore and wandering in whenever they feel like it to hunt and gather wood.
>>146190838
>playing VC
>not pushing out of sylvania with 8 stacks of zombies
playing the faction wrong tbqhf
>>146191389
Do the elves that live in the Empire forests count as Asrai, or is it just the faggots in Athel Loren? If they do not, then what are they called?
>>146192076
All forests are connected, so yes, they are Wood elves
>>146190301
Because they have no competition. Why do the AI ever refuse a trade agreement when its beneficial 100% of the time regardless of if you like them or not since it strengthens you both financially and most of the time equally?
>burn down bretonnia
>cant burn down the giant faggoty elf forest
thats muckin about
>>146192392
>regardless of if you like them or not
That could be a reason. Diplomatic penalties with their neighbours for trading with you might be another.
>>146192392
Because to the WRE a podunk OPM trading with them at the start of the game means nothing.
>>146192392
Because the AI may not WANT to strengthen you. They may be aware that you are the most dangerous force in the game.
I wish the -5 leadership debuff on legendary would have been a stat buff or something else entirely.

What the hell, was the difficulty patched?
If 7 we get a patch this week.
>>146192392
>equally
No it doesn't
The Eastern Roman Empire is turning in something like 30k a turn at the start of the game and spending 25k of it, but the Gepidae they're next to are turning in 4k and spending 3k of it
If each side gets an extra 300/turn, the Gepidae benefit far more
>>146194795

So campaign wise Kemmler is strictly worse than Von Carstein right?
Like even his bonuses are almost objectively worse.
>>146197957
I don't actually use it but do people dislike it for any reason other than it gives you too much dosh?
That's the only glaring flaw I see with Radious.
>>146198852
That any the fact his "unit packs" just make all th3 factions the same by giving the other ones copies of others troops, and he thinks it's good.
He's just a awful human being in general.

>>146199572
Nerf the cast range and/or nerf the effect subsequent casts have on the same unit
>>146199592
DX12 and maybe some FLC
>>146199592
does anyone have some kind of chart over post release activity from the other games in the series, just to compare how long we should wait before patch/dlc?
>>146199779
dlc is usually in about a month, patches is usually within the week. Shit nigga i think Rome 2 had patches daily
>>146199779
It took about a couple of days for Rome II's first large update, but it was a hot fucking mess that lit a fire under CA's ass. It took a couple of weeks for Attila's first major update. It's all on the TW wiki.
>still no patch
>luminark of hysh is still mother fucking garbage
it's depressing as all hell that a giant laser gun does no damage while some fedora wearing bitch uses harsh language to completely destroy shitters.
>>146200187
probably because Games Workshop are acting as massive cunts and won't allow any further actions without their consent.
>>146189690_never_
>>146199572
Nerf spirit leech a lot

>>146200476
You mean the tabletop strategy wargame where huge armies clash together? Because if it's supposed to be an adaptation of the tabletop, it fucking sucks
>>146199779
Atilla was kinda slow to patch too, people just git used to fast and lots of updates to rome 2, but that's because that game was a fucking mess.
>>146201174
>You mean the tabletop strategy wargame where huge armies clash together
and most heroes are powerful as all hell? Yes, that one.
>>146201174
At least it wasn't an age of Shitmar adaption.
>>146201670
Don't even joke about that shit man you'll give me nightmare
Should there be a mod/upgrade that gives Hellcannon units two cannons?
>>146201741

>>146202213
Warhammer fantasy is the closest we'll ever get for a long time, even though we can't even play as brettonia yet, at least the other factions have a late medieval feel.

What's the point of improving trade resources like lumber as VC if no one wants to trade with you?
>>146204641
For good reason, these eras sucked.
>>146204828
Most of them provide more money than gibbets, so there's that.
>>146204828

>>146202803
2. I've never actually played as Rome and I'm not quite sure how to build up my army. Socii seem to be cheaper but worse units and money is not really an issue.
Triarii have insane stats but they're spear troops so I was thinking that Principes would be better at killing enemies.
>>146204980
Who told you about the peg leg market for zombies? I've been trying to corner that for years.
>>146205465
Oh, I never really played rome 2 in my case. Spears are genrally better line troops since they can kill cav and still hold against infantry with low losses to themselves as long as you support them with good cav or sword infantry.
>>146200187
>Rome 2 had patches daily
That's because it really fucking needed them
> Tomb Kings still not announced
Why do people not like Attila's setting?
>>146202090
I'd play an hack'n'slash diablo clone in aos
>>146206018
No le ebin Legionaries, but also not le ebin knights.
>>146204828
Try constantly warring with the Empire. This should make at least some elector cunts who hate Franz like you enough for trade.
On a side note, holy shit is raise dead ever broken. Around turn 15 I was taking the last city of western Sylvania, which resulted in a battle of two mostly zombie stacks vs a zombie stack and a garrison. Over 6000 deaths, Kemmler as the starting hero and getting the follower that decreases the price of Raise Dead give me access to literally every unit in the VC rooster at a considerable discount, including Black Coatches and Terrorgheists. Had to forgo development other than economic, but the advantage is unreal.

>>146206153
>Every faction is the same.
I dunno man. So far I've played the Jewrabs and the celts, seemed pretty different to me.
>>146206018
because much like the modern day, its a transitional period.
The days of Legions and grand armies and "epic battles" are gone, but the rise of feudalism, knights, and major kingdoms we can recognize hasn't happened yet.
It's just that awkward period of history where everyone was part-germanic, most major places were ruled by germanics, and everything was for the most part samey-samey.
It's just for most people, a very uninteresting point in history inbetween two great epochs
>>146201785
Should be 4, its chaos only range, and theyre not that impressive since the cannon itself cant go on a rampage.
>>146206018
Because nobody made a proper movie or TV show about the era yet
Are there any mods that model Gyrocopters with human pilots?
I want to make a human wizard that has a Gyrocopter as his flying mount. Is this possible and/or does it already exist?
>>146206395
the way the game depicts the era isn't how it was in real life, obviously.
He's right, most armies around that period were VERY similar, asides from the armies that were different because of cultural reasons, such as the comparison between a european army and a middle eastern army
>>146205465
Triarii are effectively unkillable
Socii Hastati are cheaper with slightly better charge bonus
>>146206018
Its just hiding under a blanket while some maniac beats you with a stick.
The only choice you have is the colour of your blanket or you can play as the maniac.
>>146206018
Because it is about the fall of an empire, not the birth of one. There IS no winner in Attila, the whole idea of the End of Days is pretty spot on, even the chapter victory conditions are 'survive until', not the 'get this big with this many troops' of Rome 2. The Western Roman Empire falls but nothing rises to take its place, all you have are people squabbling over the last vestiges of a once-great civilization. It's rather depressing.
>>146207589
If you dont already have the reform by the time youre expanding outside of Italy youre doing it wrong tho.
>>146207834
I always found the idea of tearing down the old and forcing in the new to be nice, feels especially good driving the romans out of britain as the ebdani and raiding their shores.
>>146208095
But there's nothing new, that's the problem. You don't build a great civilization, you build mud huts everywhere.
>>146200334
>won't allow any further actions without their consent.
That's not how a license works, anon.
thoughts? i feel like 1 is a little underwhelming. I was originally planning on 3, but now I'm worried it will be too much. 2 might be ok, but i'm not sure
Why is Warhammer OST so weak compared to R2?
Did they use another composer?
I miss Shogun 2's mechanics. Why can't you bribe stuff like you did in Shogun 2? Why can't you incite revolts like you did in Shogun 2?
>>146207460
Don't think so, swap the wizard's pegasi with a gyrocopter (land_units_tables, mounts tab) and see how it goes?
Also, dwarf engineers should have the option to ride a gyro tbqh
>>146208251
What is this?
I like #3 firebolts and #2 explosions
>>146208251
bigger is better, go for 3
>>146207834
I think the Goths came out of it pretty well all things considered. Things didn't get truly bad for another century or two.
>>146207601
Alternatively, you play ERE or sassykids and never give a shit about the blanket or the maniac.
>>146209228
The Goths did pretty well, but Britain and France were pretty badly fucked up as were the Balkans in general.
>>146208675
Inciting revolts was pretty damn broken tho.
>half of Japan on fire from rebel revolts
>crippling and dismantling allies with revolts
>no expansionist negatives for conquering all that land
>>146209053
>>146209054
I'm working on a mod that does some stuff to some the vehicle units and maybe siege units. Working on the gyro copters right now. The underwhelming steam puff is being replaced by fire and brimstone
Since you guys like 3 I'll probably go with that and use a smaller explosion effect since that part seems a little rediculous
>>146208305
R2 is the weakest of the series m8
>>146209334
Its not completely ahistorical though Lords rarely incited it seeing as they would essentially be undermining their own position.
Just finished a long Dwarf campaign on normal, wanna start Greenskins on hard. Which lord should I use, and are there any good mods? I checked the mods weekly vids but didn't see anything I like asides from playable Mousillon

>>146210607
well
disable AI cheats, black black orcs (because fuck red, they're meant to be black), then there's that one mod that gives some extra skill points if you wamt it (like every 5th level or something you get 2 skillpoints instead of 1)

>>146211085
Eh, I still remember when I was trying to make a village revolt due to religious unrest in M2 on hard because I couldn't be bothered with a full war with the faction owning it. My faction leader actually died before it happened, I decided that his son just had enough and conquered it.
>>146211085
To stop the player from blitzkreiging across the map without any penalties.
>>146211085
That would require them to actually develop competent campaign AI.
>>146211085
>AI has 3 agents, 2 PO buildings and a full stack in their city
>+10 public order
Seems pretty balanced. Any region without those gets pretty hefty reduction for even a small amount of corruption.
>>146211085
There is a mod removing that shit making AI suffer the same as human player and guess what, you can beat Legendary as Normal shitter so if you play on Hard/Very Hard the game become a cake walk.

Alright so there are a lot of stats that are not shown or listed and both Attila and Rome 2 are awful about this. Maximus is a guy who dies a bunch of total war videos and he has a video showing you how to look it up but different weapons get different damage bonuses sometimes against different targets. For example a spear unit might say weak against infantry or something but because the weapon length gives a flat damage bonus it is superior to an equivalent looking sword unit. And different swords gave different damage bonuses and lengths that aren't listed. So it might say a sword does 20 damage but its lengths adds an extra 2 points bringing it to 22. Basically CA is fucking retarded and can't be fucked to show you all the relevant stats. I think Germanic clubs were a good example where their stats appeared to be objectively shittier but the club actually adds a bonus not shown that makes them better.
>>146206018

>>146226423
This. Especially since everything that comes out of the Engineers Guild building is absolutely pants so it's basically a wasted slot. Also he only gets two quests rather than the standard three. Karl Franz's are also meh. Reikland Runefang can be really fucking annoying since one of the conditions to progress can be 'secure a military or defensive alliance with Nordland' - which is basically impossible on VH/Legendary unless they really want to be friends. As for best - I enjoyed Azhag's and Ungrim's quests for the most part. They were challenging and interesting but not obnoxiously difficult in any way. It seems like generally the secondary LLs came off better in that regard.

What mods though? I havent seen any that seemed interesting
>>146230119
A veritable work of its time, Radious mod is an author’s input on the contemporary attitude so critical of mods that they’re often not given a chance at all, a window through which we see the creator’s wish to move his audience, as well as frustrations at the vessels of these emotions being ignored or enjoyed as “low art”.
Attempts at analyzing Radious mod’s implications and unraveling its messages necessitate great concentration and effort, which is further exacerbated when so much of my blood flows elsewhere than my brain when enjoying this mod.
Radious mod is a journey, an embodiment of a search fundamental to our humanity yet abandoned by contemporary society; Radious Mod is the eternal quest for perfection. As philosophers and "understanders of strategy" alike vainly peruse the void of their hollow souls for an abstract ideal, they achieve naught save for casting the community into desecration. Delving further into the hypothetical and the metaphysical only reinforces the misbelief that true beauty lies within. “Homosexuality,” Plato wrote, “is regarded as shameful by barbarians and by those who live under despotic governments, Both of which apply to contemporary society.
"Quod culus tibi purior salillo est, nec toto decies cacas in anno; atque id durius est faba et lapillis. Quod tu si manibus teras fricesque, non umquam digitum inquinare posses.”
As tremors of mirth reverberate through my corpus; my finite faculties discharged; my soul emancipated. Such is the power of Radious Mod. Radious Mod is not everyone’s cup of tea. It is perhaps best treated as a lengthy parable. For the actively dismissive it will hardly make much of an impression other than being an ordinary mod with a cheap attempt at improving the game. For others with willing ears and eyes to match, it can be a novel take on the values and motivations surrounding the genre.
>>146230026
how are they SJWs? genuinely curious...
>>146230119
just shop around m8. unit mods are the best.
dont listen to the cucks ITT that bang on about how adding units is cheating or makes the game unbalanced. the game already has horrishit balanace. just have fun and play it the way you want to play.
>>146230248
>i am bad at the game
>>146230248
also forgot to mention that addons for magic are decent too. magic is pretty shit and isn't balanced at all for ultra unit sizes.
>>146230371
not really. ive been playing total war games since the first medieval. its just a fact that THIS total war has genuinely terribad balance and not enough thought put into it.
all the skill has been sucked out of the game anyway. dumbed down campaign, economy, diplomacy and most battles are over in less than 10mins and are blob mashes anyway.
>>146230389
Is Molay still recommended or are there others that work better?
What does your dwarf army composition look like? Gyrocopters are garbage, so I assume it's something like 3 units of artillery, 4 units of ranged, a handful of hammerers or slayers and fill the rest with longbeards or Iron Breakers depending on how far along you are.

Hey big guy
I'd recommend getting a higher replenishment rate mod, otherwise you'll be constantly limping and stuck using only remergeable units rather than fun Big Guys
You'll also probably want a mod that turns down AI Aggressive Agent Actions, you'll be swarmed by agents for most of your game it's a real pain in the arse

>>146231257
lol I knew you were going to counter my suggestions with that. I'm insulted, to be honest. I'm just speaking from my personal experience as a true blue Chaos battler
Getting swarmed by agents such that you cannot keep a new lord alive due to assassinations just sucks. Then there's the constant assault unit(s) actions they do on you - which means you'll be limping into your lightning strike hits against the 4 stacks following you, and can't completely bugger them all off
And replenishment keeps you able to at least stay relatively stable when you're being chased by 3-4 stacks (aka 90% of the time). 2 turns to get into battle shape vs 3 or 4? Yes, please.
Is it normal that by turn 15 as Chaos I get the three stacks of Norse chasing me down?
>>146231618
If it's not Norse it'll be Dwarfs or Kislev

If you have a screenshot of someone playing Chaos and being surrounded by Empire doomstacks, I can try my hand at it.
Is it worth recruiting and using Thanes for Dwarf armies? I have good experiences with Engineers and Runesmiths but my feelings are mixed on these guys.
>>146232160
Oddly enough in that specific game it ended up working out in the Chaos favour. All those expedition stacks up north couldn't get much done, and then Chaos Gathering popped up, and Skaeling finished uniting all of the north (sadly not my vassal), and I ran all the way south (accurately roleplaying the cowardice of Archaeon). Chaos Gathering + Skaeling ravaged the north, I ravaged the south, then I finished off Chaos Gathering and knocked out a couple Skaeling stacks. Left behind only Skaeling, a fairly weak VC, incredibly dominant Dwarfs holding the entire East, and Karak Izor sitting pretty in their little range, somehow untouched. Eventually VC resurged and waged Eternal War with Skaeling, and I spent like 100 turns poking Dwarfs
>>146232424
I'd say no, not until we get a different lord variety for dwarves.

>>146233847
Bretonnia has a lot more French flavor, just look at their naming style.
The Empire has a German theme. Estalia is supposed to be Spanish. Tilea is supposed to be Italian city-state-ish. The Border princes are a mix of the last three. Lots of pike and shot in the Estalia, Tilea, and BP as well.

Fucking Hell yes it does. Playing VC it's so damn frustrating to see corruption get to 60 or 70 percent and starting to crawl at 2% per turn.
>>146234846
Oh guess that solves my original problem then. I kept watching it crawl up and up and I was worried about it eventually hitting 70%+ or something.
>>146235021
it tells you how far it's going to get.
>>146235021
Negro you can see the maximum corruption you'll get if you point at it
It'll say something like untainted land 75%, corruption 25%. It means that unless you get more things that corrupt the province, it won't go above 25%
>>146234607

Whats the opinion on hoard infighting?
>>146236417
Not that big of a problem but can get annoying really quick.
>>146230565
A mix of Iron Breakers/Longbeards or Hammerers
4 cannons or grudge throwers
Mass Quarrelers, something close to 6-8 units that focus fire enemies once the lines have been engaged
2 Thunderers which I use as a mobile support unit which runs around shooting people in the side.
Basically you want to have an army that will shoot the fuck out of the approaching enemy, a solid anvil to hold them while your army continues to shoot them to death.
2 units of thunderers running around concentrating fire on enemy flanks are pretty good.
If enemy has lots of cavalry then you keep your thunderers close together so that if one unit gets charged, the other can fire into the sides/back of the enemy cavalry.
If they have shit loads of cav then its much harder, Quarrellers with GA can at least lay on the hurt in CQC if they get charged by cav.

>>146238378
Empire is easy, but on harder difficulties, the first 20 turns or so are a complete make-or-break. If too many of the factions around you decide to slap your shit before you can establish a foothold in Reikland, you may as well restart.
>>146238378
chaos is almost impossible to lose if you're constantly moving and taking easy battles. the empire can just get fucked by diplomacy like what >>146238742 says. the first 20 turns i restarted around 8 times or so. in chaos, the only "bad start" you can have is if you personally fuck up in a battle, or take a battle you can't win.
my first legendary win was with chaos in 116 turns, and it was a fucking cake walk compared to the empire, but most notably dwarves.people seem to have some trouble with orcs, but they were just a lot of fun for me to actually battle with, if I had a lot of trouble with them I didn't notice.

>Full cost forced march
Makes it so forced march actually reduces your campaign movement the turn it's activated, so neither you nor AI can abuse switching in and out of it. Less campaign dancing, more scouting, tension and battles.
>Recruit Lord of Change for Campaign
Activate after you get the event and kill the Lord of Change, feels good to make him your bitch instead.
>>146239635
I beelined it for the empire, and eliminated them pretty fast, despite their confederation shenanigans. I went down to the dwarfs and luckily the greenskins were winning, so it was just a few hits and they were gone. I went up the coast along Estalia, branching off into multiple hordes to hit the sacked settlement-count. Moussilon had taken over most of the Empires ruins at that point, so despite not acutally fighting Bretonnia, they cucked the hell out of them, limiting them to their starting province.

Is it normal for Dwarves to become a superpower?
Because they had probably 90% of their possible settlements. Even with my united Empire + bits of Bretonnia, they were still the strongest faction.
I had to wage war on them for a bit, because they made a defensive alliance with Kislev during the hugbox, and Kislev had migrated south into Ostermark.
Also, Steam tanks are amazing against the Norse and Vampire Counts. Less so against Dwarves, but still great.
>>146241074

>>146241201
My dwarves held an empire that touched the chaos wastes, protected the belly of the empire, and pushed deep into the badlands. Then chaos rolled around and while I crusaded in Norsca they managed to lose nearly all of it to Grimgor, who somehow came back from literally just a savage orc reservation and became my end game boss. Dwarves are definitely more of an early game powerhouse but they fall apart in the late.

I get that this is in jest, but as a friendly reminder, playing loud is not the epitome of skill.

>>146241201
Dwarves are ALWAYS in the top 5 factions midgame, unless VC's and Greenskins shit on them early. They just confederate and confederate and confederate while drowning in free AI money. I've seen them march 10 full stacks around.
As the Empire, I usually just slap a Defensive Alliance on them, then ignore them till the hugbox, when I make them military allies. If they do waht they did to you, then bribe them so that they like you more than your rival, then declare war. In a situation where allies declare war on each other, the AI will always pretty much always side with the faction it likes most.

This is so painful.
Even with my panzer brigade, I eventually just called it quits and finished uniting the Empire. That attrition is ridiculous, and the Norse just run around resettling everywhere.

LAtegame, should I be walking around with shitloads of cheap stacks, or a few elite stacks?
Because I feel I could be fielding way more stacks than I am.
>>146242534
There are no such thing as elite stacks. You only get one of each type of unit.
>>146242496
I actually razed five villages, then called it quits.
The Skaeling never bothered me again.
The Varg were still plenty strong, but I beat the Long Campaign before they could do anything other than siege. a few northern towns. I might might march the rape squad of Franz and the Panzer brigade up just to have a better finish to the campaign, but I don't think I can be bothered chasing them around all-day.
>>146242612
What? I mean, should I have tons of shitty soldiers
Say 40 units of Swordsmen, Crossbowmen etc in two armies, or one army of Demigryphs?
>>146242716
Honestly, if Archaon has been beaten and you can get peace with Skaeling and Varg, they probably won't be that much of a problem for the rest of the game. I just did it because I love carving out my corner and fighting on one front only.
...even if that means sending 3/4 of my armies away from my actual enemy to burn down a continent's worth of villages on the other side of the map.
>>146242819
The more stacks the better. There's no point in having a overkill stack. The AI is retarded and you can beat them with inferior armies. More armies = more ground covered
>>146242612
>You only get one of each type of unit
What?
Which faction is the easiest to win with on Legendary?
>>146243017
It really doesn't matter that much, as I won in the end. Those three or so stacks up there could probably be cleared by the Tank squad alone.
Retrospectively though, I probably should have set up peace treaties.
I don't really like fighting Norse. They aren't fun to fight because of hounds and AI micro, and auto-resolve is really strong against them, so it's not a fun experience.
>>146242819
I usually make myself an army core, so for empire it might look like 6x swordsmen 4x spearmen 3x crossbows. Then I'll fill the other 6 slots in each army with a specialty, so one might have 6 reiksguard, one might be loaded with artillery, one will hold the tank division, twenty good men, etc. Each army is always viable with its core but always feels different too.

That's a great idea and all, but here's another plan.
1 General specc'd red
18 Steam Tanks
1 Helstorm rocket launcher
The fact that Steam Tanks never break and cause terror means they tend to win most fights.
I especially like this vs Chaos, because there's literally nothing they can do.
Vs Dwarves though, you're probably best with mixed units tactics.
Or Demigryphs. Because Demigryphs are actually retarded overpowered.

In the game it means they wear the razor hat and some body armor, the drafted ashigaru is just a dude in his bathrobe.
Is Master of Strategy play well for S2? It looks like a lot of bloated features.
I finally beat the Vampire Counts on very hard and it is the most boring thing ever. They really need a buff to how fast vamp corruption spreads, or how fast they can spread it via perks. Even with Moneymancy I barely could afford shit because I had to pay for massive "public order" stacks of skellies or zombos in order to keep order down so that I could move my real armies around, and fuck if I had to spend an extra turn or two just moving into attack cities because I had to use raid stance or risk losing precious skellies before the fight even began.
The worst part about it was shutting down the Greenskins who not only shit out agents like mad cunts, but their income building had to be the most money making out of all the factions which they had in every single city. I don't think any campaign I have played they have not come out on top in that part of the world. They had fucking STACKS AND STACKS of armies coming my way every fucking turn. Its retarded. They need some kind of extra mechanic or something to keep them from snowballing so fucking hard.

I like Total Warhammer, but the game itself is laughably balanced and badly, badly needs patching at the moment. What's the best historical Total War to get into? I'm interested a bit in Empire and Shogun, but not so much Attila.

He has Stand & Fight. Infantry Leader gives that. It's "Unique Daimyos", it gives people the look that they supposedly had.

Going by the time since release I have the same problem. On the other side I played TW:W more in one month than Attila in nearly one and a half year.
Who are the most fun hairy barbars to play as in Attila?
I'm thinking of doing Saxons or Jutes.

I think its a case of "oh cool look at all these different factions" and then being left with a sense of "that's it?" Every single part of the game just feels like they didn't finish it.

>>146252019
Dunno how you'd check but I'm guessing it's that the AI almost always attacks a certain stack or two on its first few turns, and win / loss of that one battle determines the entire playthrough (hordes get money from winning battles after all and if they get wiped that's half your starting income down the drain plus missing out on sacking income)
tfw you realize that chaos is still at 1/4 strength as skaven, chaos dwarves, beastmen & daemons are still to be released.

Holy fuggin damn this VH Empire campaign is ridiculous right now.
First I conquer Reikland, then I squash the Orc army in Marinigger land, then I get sneak attacked by the Middenheim ones. Whatever clear it.
Then I attack Mariniggers when I see theit stack leave to attack Middenheim. Conquer the city after. Then as I go to get Gorsel, two small Nerdlanders and Todbringer snag it.
Well I got pissed and said fuck it, attacked them then and there and managed to wipe them out and move into Middenheim. Managed to get Carroburg and what's it and then shit REALLY hit the fan.
I got Todbringer building a new stack up north, got Nerdland to peace, but Averland and Artois came to fuck with my shit.
Fortunately I had built garrisons EVERYWHERE and had a new general with a small army I managed to hold the line and get Averland to fuck off. I think once I slap Artois shit in I'll be set for peace to finish Middenheim off.
I swear if I didn't build Karl for combat 100% I might not be doing so well. He's already got Deathclaw and I don't think it's even turn 25 yet.
This new general I got has a great future ahead of him >Kurt Blaze plus he's got the cool closed helmet model and came with a real good trait

it is, although it might be a bit of a drag. corruption and city walls will help you defend your south while you expand north, and take over the empire.

two words
Guard mode
>>146254191
>when I last played I could make any bumfuck village into a massive metropolis in no time flat
cheats don't count, dude.
as for units
pikes need guard mode on, and keep them still or moving straight - any turn fucks them.
halberds have only two moves, dude: stab and chop - period
two handed weapons (historically) gave 50% bonus to your attack - tops. the only question here is: what did You expect?
artillery on walls? (or on the streets - other than mortars) - yeah, I got your problem right there, pal.
>>146255172

>>146255012
Just kill them all lmao
>>146255563
not sure about the numbers themselves, but summoning a full stack of zombies for less than 1000 dark energy is pretty fucking good when you start adding up all the "raise dead costs"
it's not too bad to take out templehof until you get mannfred. you can get him pretty fast and get him catching up in no-time. it's really jsut the faction bonus that matters. i think i got mannfred on turn 6 or 8.
early game battles are a little bit more tricky, since you have to heal-spam your wraith units instead of having a varghulf and jack-of-all-trades manny.

>>146256169
true, they're lategame only - if that - but (ashigaru) bows are there right now, and putting 1 per every 2 (3 tops) spears in your army can seriously hurt your enemy.

That sounds cool, makes me want to give attila shot. In warhammer when I first started trying to repel the invasians my armies were getting ganged up on and smashed, I was massing cheap units though for fun. Once I started cheeseing victories by huddling in the corner of the map to prevent 20 warhounds from flanking me, it became a little more gamey. The main reason I don't want to play rome 2/atilla is because ginger cunt ruined it with his shit voice acting.
>>146257405
>meme cavalry charges your braced spears
>it plows through them losing maybe 1 guy and routs your spears
good game
>>146257701
because only their horse archers and chosen uars are good, every other unit they have is trash. Their top melee cav is armed with axes which means that most spear armed cav rips them to shreds even shitty cav like the western roman one. Their top shock cav is light which means that it has low impact damage and is weak vs infantry
regular huns are shit, White Huns are very strong because Spet Xyon are fucking bullshit and, and Memetalite Chargers are the best cav unit in the players hands (the AI is shit at using them though)
>>146257816
>things that never happened the post
only camels do this shit and huns dont have camels
i bet i could beat the shit out of attila with my bear hands
>>146257917
Do you play on Easy or some shit, because I'm blown them the fuck out on Easy with the spear-in-forest trick but the Huns otherwise just take you apart, their axe-cav has a massive attack bonus against infantry and their devil archers have something like +30 against all cav.
>>146255486

fuck dwarves seriously. also fuck using only 4 different unit types for EVERYTHING.

The guy went too far from an already fine mod. He should have found a middle ground, but instead now you have zombie hordes more colouful and varied than the queerest ballroom dance.

all i know is that this is a custom version of his mod that cranks up the variants as high as they go with hats. haven't really checked out many of the early mods for the game yet.

>>146262180
glad you enjoy it anon with the hats, but my lord you do need to upgrade
>>146262241
since its simply texture swapping there is no alternative. no 'worn' looking clothing really exists in the game so therefore I made the mod to give the illusion of zombies not wearing their sleepwear.
In an ideal world there would be dirty muddy ect textures already made, I could use them and everyone would be happy, even radiouss.lie
>>146262413
anon I'm not sure what middle ground there is t take, I make the units have their appropriate region of bretonia+empire outfits with the colours tweaked down a little to simulate fading.
you can't really go to a middle ground from there. they are literally the colours of their surrounding factions (albeit toned down to simulate fading)
there is a submod for the zombies with no colours, there is a submod with all vc units bretonned with no colours.
there really isn't anything else I can do.
also Im still fucking stuck on the heros. I beginning to believe it can't be done and its hard coded. imagine that cuckery.

There are a few idiots complaining but 95% of players love the Empire look, they're just fucking fantastic and based on actual history
>>146263893
You can't improve the global recruit speed. You can can get a dozen global recruit slots without that much difficulty, though, since the shaman hovels adds +1 global recruitment capacity.
>>146263893
>he didn't build the spider lair in Karaz-a-Karak
>>146263893
You can recruit a full stack of giant spiders in 6 turns if you're packing enough shaman huts
>>146263362
issabella is actually referenced as vampire female 01. I tried swapping the name and couldn't really tell a difference with the audio files. who knows though maybe they default to regular for now.
and as to kraka drak, I found a few cool unused dwarf items and went on my merry way playing with it but ultimately its a VERY limited pool of items to choose from due to only being able to use dwarf armour/ect
ultimately all I can do is swap out the non norse variants. I did a few cool things admittedly but there just isn't enough stuff to play with!

Will there ever be a TW with a fundamentally new combat system? After playing as Rome and having a look at their classic battle setups I realised that this incredibly successful approach is completely useless and impractial in TW.
You can't really pull out or support troops, you just have one infantry line charge and then move around the flanks and rear charge your sword/axe infantry of cav if available.
It is always the exact same thing no matter the faction or game.
>>146265619
All we need is a command that gives us the ability to disengage units in a controlled way, so that the soldiers walk backwards while keeping the enemy at bay.
>>146265619
>>146265718
They'll probably have to further develop the AI to make use of this feature though.
>>146265619
They need to make realistic recruitment. You shouldn't be able to just levy heavy infantry from a population, it makes no sense.
>>146265832
But this is what Rome has been doing.
>>146263906

They've said that the auto-resolve system thinks it's a great idea to use your big scary units to tank damage. This may be fine for winning the battle, which is probably why they programmed it that way, but it's retarded for campaigning persistence.
>>146269304

Ahh /twg/...the eternal general.
I have seen the end of threads, and posts from now shitposters will say: 'Here began the fall of /twg/.'
The power of the updates was hidden from the many and given to the few. Those who held the golden news grew smug with every kind of teasing.
They were filled with Twitch, Arena and Kingdom. They distracted and delayed. They teased their content and laughed at those who datamined. They did all this and said patch was Soon™.
And I saw in his hand a game with three releases, the first of which was NoContent.
And behold a pre-order, and he that bought it had DLC and he went forth to shitpost. The air was filled with despair and shitposting.

I like them but I've only had one. I suspect that 3 of them would be amazing at reking elite units.
At least against the ai I think they're underrated but haven't gotten that far yet in my chaos campaign. Only hellcanon I've used was the big dick one you get with Siigwald but even at only 1 it still did a lot of damage and helped clean up those damn horse marauders.
Also what's a good tactic as chaos for fighting off those marauders? I play on VH or legendary and god damn do they hurt
>>146271057
if its early game and you don't have massed cannons.
attack dogs to bind them and some infantry to follow them, keep attack dogs flanking around so they block the retreat of cav.

>>146271460
That's it. I'm sick of all this "Masterwork Bastard Sword" bullshit that's going on in the d20 system right now. Katanas deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.
I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine katana in Japan for 2,400,000 Yen (that's about $20,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of solid steel with my katana.
Japanese smiths spend years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest blades known to mankind.
Katanas are thrice as sharp as European swords and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a longsword can cut through, a katana can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a knight wearing full plate with a simple vertical slash.
Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Japan? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Samurai and their katanas of destruction. Even in World War II, American soldiers targeted the men with the katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected.
So what am I saying? Katanas are simply the best sword that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the d20 system. Here is the stat block I propose for Katanas:
(One-Handed Exotic Weapon)
1d12 Damage
19-20 x4 Crit
+2 to hit and damage
Counts as Masterwork
(Two-Handed Exotic Weapon)
2d10 Damage
17-20 x4 Crit
+5 to hit and damage
Counts as Masterwork
Now that seems a lot more representative of the cutting power of Katanas in real life, don't you think?
tl;dr = Katanas need to do more damage in d20, see my new stat block.
>>146271458
> even a small one strapped to your arm is better than nothing
That's exactly what they did though. You should look at the older samurai armor(when they still did tons of horse archery in battle)
>>146271610
now that you mention it. don't they have like extra wood or bambu strapped to their armor in the RIse Of The Samurai DLC?

But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.i'm from /tg/, i couldn't resist

There he is. There he goes again. Look, everyone! He posted it once again! Isn't he just the funniest guy around?! Oh my God.
I can almost see your pathetic overweight frame glowing in the dark, lit by your computer screen which is the only source of light in your room, giggling like a like girl as you once again type your little /his/fag thread up and fill in the captcha. Or maybe you don't even fill in the captcha. Maybe you're such a disgusting NEET that you actually paid for a 4chan pass, so you just choose the picture. Oh, and we all know the picture. The "epic" Mithridates guy, isn't it? I imagine you little shit laughing so hard as you click it that you drop your Doritos on the floor, but it's ok, your mother will clean it up in the morning. Oh, that's right. Did I fail to mention? You live with your mother. You are a fat fucking fuckup, she's probably so sick of you already. So sick of having to do everything for you all goddamn day, every day, for a grown man who spends all his time on 4chan posting about a /gsg/ rip-off. Just imagine this. She had you, and then she thought you were gonna be a scientist or an astronaut or something grand, and then you became a NEET. A pathetic understander NEET. She probably cries herself to sleep everyday thinking about how bad it is and how she wishes she could just disappear. She can't even try to talk with you because all you say is "I DON'T WANT TO PLAY AS FUCKING PONTUS" You've become a parody of your own self. And that's all you are. A sad little man laughing in the dark by himself as he prepares to indulge in the same old dance that he's done a million times now. And that's all you'll ever be.
Forever...

>not playing as fucking pontus
>so starved for content you're forced to regurgitate old memes
This is embarrassing. Far too embarrassing. I don't know how you masochistic mongrels can make it out the door without blushing from this nonsense, but you probably don't make it that far anyways.
That's where I'm going to have to draw the line however. Do what you will with the battered remains of this general, I'm off to greener pastures. With the coming Steam™ Summer Sale™ there will be sure to be plenty of excellent Paradox™ games to look forward to, complete with an intellectually stimulating thread to discuss them - /gsg/.
I guess this is goodbye then.

Shitposting has changed.
It's no longer about websites, trolling, or memes. It's an endless series of proxy flame wars, fought by shitposters and shills.
Shitposting--and it's consumption of 4chan--has become a well-oiled machine.
Shitposting has changed.
Memeposting shitposters post forced memes, use shitty buzzwords. Proxies on their internet enhance and regulate their abilities.
Poster control, meme control, emotion control, 4chan control…everything is monitored and kept under control.
Shitposting…has changed.
The age of deterrence has become the age of control, all in the name of averting shitposting from forced memes, and he who controls 4chan, controls the shitposts.
Shitposting…has changed.
When 4chan is under total control, shitposting becomes routine.

Were you guys this hungry for DLC for Attila?
Did the thought of a different color of swordsmen and spearmen make you that hard?
>there are people ITT who didnt get their Understander of Strategy Degree
wewlads
>>146272539
Attila was actually fun though and had far more content, I am not starting another campaign until they fix the reinforcements bug, it makes early game too easy as it lets you easily beat 2 stacks with just 1, since the reinforcements will deploy right behind your line

it's just, TWW is kinda lackluster. I know that's a very weird thing to say considering how much new shit we got with it but I think that's why so many anons are burnt out already.
5 factions aren't enough and I think even just Brettonia DLC will get most people here to stop complaining for a while.
also some general fixes would be nice like not losing your special units in autoresolves and magick getting a revamp.
Great game though just a bit meh right now
>>146272539
attila had dlc some could say too early, before a fair few bad bug issues were fixed. so the community outcry was very negative
with the warhams its got a few tedious and serious problems that gotta get patched too.
also unlike attila they have a fully fleshed out dlc plan/flc plan so people are expecting brettonia. for example.
I'm just wanting the agents problem fixed along with some balance changes and blood.
its INCREDIBLY unbalanced atm. the multiplayer sniping is real and I'm not sure what can be done to fix that
i just ate a bunch of pain killers what total war should i play?

to expand on that, the balance is absolutely ass. in singleplayer at least on my legendary minmax fuck u campaign as dwarves I only ever used 5 units.
and every game was some variation of stationary killbox against numerically superior enemy, really quite dull.
half of the new units just aren't worth their cost and need some love
also as other anons have mentioned, all aoe spells are shit
singledamage nukes are too op and there is no in between.

Draw the map on the left with smiley faces and simplified blocks and arrows and they'd look very similar.

>5 factions aren't enough
How many actually beat previous games more than 5 times with different factions?
I want to understand military tactics and doctrine threw out history. Where should I start?
Why
>>146273092
If you needed to take painkillers maybe you should lay down or something, not worth playing games when you're injured.
>>146273435
I myself did not I think. well only in Shogunb 2 I think I've beaten the game with every clan there.
But I think anons wantto have a lot of possibilities.
I bet when the first expansion game comes out we'll hear no more complaining
