radious

>>149079547
>Radious

I'm too old to fall for that one, anon

>>149079451
There have been numerous undisputable masterpieces in total war modding, such as the strikingly realistic classic Europa Barbarorum or its medieval counterpart Stainless Steel. Radious mod will not join their ranks; its surface is too generic, its presentation too provocative and its messages too obscure. Its take on the abysmal is an illumination in one person’s despair, but a paroxysm of another’s perversion. It will remain underground – treasured by the most avant-garde among intellectuals for its edifying if horrifying insight into the fundaments of human morality. Philistines and self-proclaimed critics alike will shun Radious mod, but you can’t fault them for that. It takes wisdom to appreciate its subtleties, and courage to side with the unpopular opinion. Sed domi maneas paresque nobis novem continuas fututiones.


Superficially, Radious mod appears to be a mod which caters to the most proletarian among men; aloof critics dismiss it as such often without a second thought. As complacent as these self-proclaimed "understanders of strategy" are, they fail to realize that Radious mod is a cult classic, a chef d'oeuvrea buried under false preconceptions and unfounded criticism. This gem is hidden because it does not shine; it is buried because its tone is that of abyssal black. Radious mod pries into to the darkest corners of our subconscious, the most visceral of our cognition, the most carnal of our urges, and the most primal of our instincts.

As brilliantly put by Cattalus, "Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo"; to describe the artistic qualia of Radious mod would be to describe music to the deaf, color to the blind or beauty to the philistine. The painting speaks for itself, and it is up to the player to fully absorb its depth. Its sublimity will ever be debated yet always remain objectively irrefutable; the fundamental insight it provides into human and perhaps animalistic nature may shape the basis of Total War modding for centuries to come.

>>149079547
There are so many subtle references and allegories to Nietzschean philosophy in the Radious mod that so called "understanders" will never understand.
When people dismiss Radious and his works they're actually enabling him to ascend from his old self into the Übermensch of mod making, while they themselves indulge in slave morality represented by the authoritarian institutions known as "lore". Note how the lore is never represented by a single individual, only the faceless GW. The essence of slave morality (represented as "the lore" and "faction differences") is adherence to GW and rational game-design: The good is what is lore accurate, not strong and balanced units for everyone. CA does not see beyond this simple morality, but Radious does.
While decrying the mod, the "understander" will dismiss Black Orcs using bows. He does so out of misguided anger, furious that neither his faith in CA nor lore-knowledge has given him a game where he can do what he pleases with no restrictions on his choices, while the Radious mod can. At the same time, Black Orcs shooting at the sky symbolizes the death of GW (representing God) as a source of morality (lore) for the people. In understanding this one's belief is finally set free, and one can finally play a game where you have access to unlimited money and power.
With the Radious mod, the entire worldview based on slave morality is destroyed. He's destroying old thoughts such as lore. He's destroying assymetrical faction balance. He's destroying boring money limitations. He's destroying even his own reputation among the plebs as he overcomes his old self to become the over-man. In this destruction, a new idea of strategy games rises from the wreckage - the triumph of "balance" over "lore".
But if balance and money triumphs over "lore", the only meaning of the game is then the unrestricted will to power (money), and that means only the Übermensch will prosper. There can finally be true Total War.
Bravo Radious.

>>149079451

>>149079451

The only kind of mod that is absolutely essential is one that buffs magic, since it is literally barely worth bothering with in it's current state outside of Death Magic and maybe a single Light Magic spell.

I use Molay's Spells and Artifacts and enjoy it quite a lot, though some people think that the buffs that Molay's gives to the legendary quest items are a bit over the top (I wouldn't necessarily disagree)

All of Norsca is razed to the ground and they're just sitting in their original settlements doing nothing with a stack of 5 various marauder units. Going into diplomacy reveals they all have a fuckton of cash. So why aren't they fucking doing anything?

You have to actually subjugate/ally with them, them (former is better, since it will stopthem from fighting each other), then give them targets to attack.

>>149088384
>former is better
Not when they give you the middle finger and declare independence

>>149087916
You need to do like >>149088384 said. Also, it's better to keep only one/a few tribes around, and at least one must have ruin-dweller if you want them to expand fast. There's also nothing that says you need to treat them as anything else than an early cash cow.

>>149088612

Personally I think the reason Bretonnia is taking so long is because their FreeLC release will coincide with a human expansion DLC that adds unique rosters for Tilea, Estalia, Border Princes, Kislev and maybe some unique units for some empire provinces which you can unlock on the campaign when capturing a capital city. Stuff like Marienburg Land Ship or regional knightly orders for example. I know Kislev is coming because when the main game was released there were unit cards for naval ships for all of the multiplayer races (Including Bretonnia) and strings in the same place without unit cards referencing 'Kislevite' ships.

Head over to the WHFB thread on /tg/.
There should be links to both the armybooks and the old Realm of Chaos books.
Keep in mind, the last armybook got handed to a guy who admitted he doesn't terribly care for beastmen, so most of the fluff in there is pretty terrible (making beastmen a whole lot dumber and one-note and introducing the whole shit-on-everything meme).

There were animals and men living in some woods. Chaos came and combined them together. They kept fucking and having children, making thousands of beastmen.

Beasties hate anything not of chaos, and especially hate civilisation of any kind. So they didn't take to kindly to Sigmar setting up the Empire. Since that time they've spent every moment of their lives trying to tear it down.

That's it.

>>149097080
you couldn't really call winged hussars and cuirassiers heavy cav in the ancient/medieval sense. Their horses weren't armoured and they only wore a cuirass and helm, basically the minimum you could wear whilst remaining fast. Mongol cavalry frequently wore coat of plates and lamellar armour as did their horses.

Total War: Lordran when

>>149096924
>In 1241, a Mongol army under Subutai and Batu Khan invaded central and eastern Europe, including Poland, Bulgaria, Croatia, and the Kingdom of Hungary. The Hungarian and Croatian attempt to halt the invasion at the Battle of Mohi failed catastrophically. The light cavalry that made up most of the Hungarian mounted forces had proven ineffective against the Mongol troops, though the few heavily armored knights (mostly those of the Knights Templar) performed significantly better. Despite heavy casualties and some close calls, the Mongols decisively crushed the Hungarian army, and proceeded to ravage the countryside for the next year. King Béla IV took note of this, and spent the next few decades reforming Hungary in preparation for possible future invasions. He used a variety of methods to do this. In 1247 he concluded a feudal agreement with the Knights of St. John, giving them the southeastern borderland in exchange for their help in creating more armored cavalry and fortifications.

The second invasion of Hungary didn't go so well for the mongols.

>>149093637

GW issues licenses with very particular scopes. In a lot of cases it's extremely narrow. For example the Vermintide devs were issued a license that let them work on only a specific set of conditions. One of which was that their game, if it was going to use actual cities within the Empire, must stay confined to the city of Ubersriek and nothing more.

I imagine CA/SEGA enjoy a much broader license from GW so I doubt it applies. But I could see conditions like you can only work within established, sanctioned factions and units. Which is why we may not see Kislev or other minor factions become playable.

But in all seriousness the "free race" is the 3rd to last item on the FLC list and since they are going in order it seems like it is still a decent way out. More realstically I would expect Brets and Wood Elves to be bundeled together since they've been trying to keep the theme of the FLC content in line with the paid stuff.

How big is the map in Total Warhammer? I'm watching some videos of people playing to see if I want to buy it, but it looks really small? Is that just a smaller map? All the other total war games had massive maps

don't be a fool, and get the game on key resellers for ~40-50$, it's not getting lower than that in sales

>>149100857
It's big, but the scale is off and divvy of the provinces is messed up.

>>149101064
Ya the scaling is kind of off. One anon posted a map and it showed Estallia being almost twice in comparison to what it looks like in game. Seems where more playable factions are is where the map size went.

>>149099707
Yeah, I suppose its just wishful thinking. I doubt bear cav would get in because GW get real pissy with the creative license they give out and they aren't canon. At least naval combat is evidenced as being worked on but that will probably be added in the first major expansion with high and dark elves.

So how do you play chaos? Do I just want to march south and raze as much as possible? Vasalize the tribes under me? Fuck off into the mountains and burn kharaks?

>>149100747
1212 took stuff from skyrim, m&b and others, the main downside to modding it is no campaign map. Not like many would even bother with it even if they could mod it, see S2. The truth is that the amount of competence and effort to mod TW games is much more than what was required for R1 and M2.

>>149103171
You do whatever you want to. As long as you stack early growth, ditch the marauders as soon as you can, get a few hordes and sack a lot, the rest will sort itself out.

>>149102434
learn to use layered infantry, I guess?

What stats are the best for lords and heroes if you want to build them for combat? Weapon damage, attack skill, defense, or just straight out more HP/armor?

>>149103901
Not him but which marauders you mean? Horsemen or infantry or both?

>>149104249
Both. They suck at everything except being annoying. As chaos you should always expect to be outnumbered, and marauders just aren't worth their slot.

Take your time. After you take the starting VC areas just build up your cities and let your heroes do the work for you elsewhere. After you get a good city you should be able to recruit rank 7 grave guards and get 2 full stacks of them to take out anyone.

Does anyone else's game always crash when battles go over 20 minutes?

>WHy dont you download a mod that lets you play as the other Chaos factions and play normally.

is there really a mod for that?

chaos faction on the campaign really needs to be re-worked. it feels so lazy and unfinished. very little thought put it. disgusting that they asked for peoples money to play this trash.

>>149112691
>but eh, mods will fix it.
No they cant. The missing units need models.

You know you can just put the textures &glowing effects upside down on another closed helmet and use that, right?
Unless you zoom in super close you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Dunno, he'd play pretty much the same as Manfred.
I think Abhorash or Wallach might be a bit more refreshing, maybr Konrad.
Just a Combat monster without all that wussy magic.

You bring your own. Dogs can work too, but they might not be able to finish the job after being kited.
In any case you can't really go wrong 4-6 Axe horsemen in your army; lots of use against pretty much any faction.

Stainless Steel I'm assuming

Will there be a shitting mechanic for the beastmen?

the shitty responsiveness isn't intentional though. Rome 1 had better.

you M2 fags truly are the worst

So, would mannfred be more popular if he looked like arthas?

>>149089469
I think we will get either Markus Wulfhart or Volkmar (but much more likely Luthor Huss) as LL. I'm actually kinda mad there are no unique Middenheim units in the Beastmen DLC...Teutogen Guard fucking when?

>>149137661
>Wood Elf animations are in the files so they'll be the FLC faction
Just because some artifact is left in the files doesn't mean anything also she wouldn't make any fucking sense in that timeline

Night gobbo archers are good senpai, they're the best archers the orks have with their poison attacks. Just keep em away from melee engagements. You can use the fanatic archers too, just make sure you don't place them directly behind your line infantry since the spinning gobbos will smash right through your formations.

Otherwise, goblins with spears are a meatshield/tarpit for cav/flanks and nothing else. They're basically a shittier version of zombies. I don't bother with most goblin cav aside from the spider rider archers, but even then those guys do pretty shit damage.

>grimmy and azhag in the game

>>149138415
Azhag was still alive for 2 or 3 years after Franz's coronation.

Why not have Sigmar instead of Franz then when the timeline doesn't matter anyway?
tbqh that would be cool

>>149137673

We talking about Med2, not about cavalry in TWW.

>>149138521
exactly

Goblin cav is nice to remove artillery thanks to vanguard deployment.

Yeh im sure a group of knights just all walked into formation then stop and then walk into the enemy when ordered to charge then just stand around in battle

>>149129567

Blame Games Workshop, you simpleton. Sega is shit, but at least send your shit flinging in the proper direction.

Will Beastmen be added to the grand campaign map as an npc faction regardless of wether you purchased the dlc or not?
If so - what's stopping people from "unlocking" them like they unlocked Bretonia?

At least they really kill enemies and could even switch to swords after charge.
Also, btw, in Med 2 different types of knights looks really different, while in TWW knights is just black-white reskin of elite knights.
