We'll always be friends, won't we, Gobbla?
My enemies are many, my equals are none.
In the shade of elven trees, they said Bretonnia could never be conquered.
In the land of carsteins and undeath, they said the vampires could never be cleansed.
In the realm of magma and snow, they said chaos could never be calmed.
Now they say nothing, they fear me like a wind of magic, a dealer in thunder and death.
I say I am Karl Franz.
I am Emperor!

You're beyond fucked,
Why do the wood elves start allied to Clan Angrund?
>>161512229
You don't know just how bad I am at Total War, but I will fight it out.
>>161512382
Which five? I rarely play VC.
>>161512457
At a guess, the Zombies and Bats.
>>161512457
Zombies and bats are straight up useless against Chaos
Hell, I could probably up the count to 7 since Crypt Ghouls do little to no damage to armored units.
>>161512382
>He doesn't use Zambombos to suck a charge and eat shit while flanking with the rest
>>161512590
Crypt ghouls are surprisingly good at defending walls (that is, if the enemy uses the ladders) while bats do a good job at killing hellcannon crews, while your Vargheists can go for juicier targets
Does the poison debuff keep refreshing if in combat or does the buff get applied to the enemy unit instantly and has to be manually applied again after x amount of seconds?
>>161512886
>>He doesn't use Zambombos to suck a charge
You could just use grave guard to tank charges, they actually have armor and melee defense and they might even get a few kills
Army slots are a far. far more valuable resources than money, wasting slots on units that barely do anything is terrible.
>>161513096
>>161512382
isn't that a garrison force though?
>>161513197
Wait, shit.
The Wight King threw me off for some reason
Disregard everything I said I suck a billion cocks.,
Well, at least that's one down.
>>161513420
Why is Sigvald such a useless turd?
>>161513420
Not so magnificent now, is he?
>>161513420
what did you use to capture this? steam or some third party application?
>>161513420
Don't stop, anon! Keep fighting!
>>161513420
The bird is at around 500 HP left, but my forces are disintegrating. It's all up to the lone hero and his floating sword.
>>161513527
Steam.
>>161512960
it lasts for 5 seconds, but gets refreshed back to 5 seconds every time a poison dealing unit deals damage to a unit
i really want to like attila but the campaign ai is such fucking crap
>>161513420
>>161513686
That Wight King deserves a medal.
I want to be dominated by a best elf!
>>161513686
And I barely put a dent into Chaos. Bird has about 150ish HP left, mostly thanks to the Wight King, but his last blow was just completely ignored and then he fell.
My Garde du Corps just heroically dashed into the French ranks, defeating the enemy 1é de Carabiniers (or whatever) and routing half a dozen units of French infantry.
Every single man died to protect their realm and sovereign from French steel. They did not flee. They turned a battle that was bound to be lost.
Can somebody please tell me what the fuck that SC2 thread is?
It's like some sick kind of joke?
>>161513686
>that one grave guard standing back-to-back with his lord
>>161513994
The Wight King will be avenged. It's time to summon the Eternal Emperor. And Mannlet, too, I guess.

>>161514213

Is there any vampire worse than Mannfred? Any at all?
Can't I trade him out for Ushoran or Abhorash or someone else who isn't a whiny tryhard?
>you want to bro up with some Bretonnians but the tree-dudes ask you to join their war with them
>>161514213
Should I lightning battle my way to victory here, or should I bring Mannlet and Vlad The Implier over and have a giant battle against Chaos?
>>161514451
It sucks that Skarsnik, Belegar, Wurrzag and Durthu all get to be faction leaders but Vlad doesn't
>>161514451

Do greenskins have dicks?
>>161515148
They reproduce asexually, so yes.
hey is this good
I thought I had killed him during the battle...but that motherfucker and one of his friends managed to escape in the chaos. How the fuck am I ever going to get him out of that fort?
>>161515301
Caliphate is OP as fuck.
>>161515148
Do mushrooms have dicks?
>>161515376
Occasionally
>>161515376
They idea of them having nothing down there bugs me. They do have butts right?
>>161515376
some of them sure look like dicks
does that count?
>>161515541
Considering they leave big piles of poo when sacking settlements, yes
>>161515541
They eat so they need to shit, I imagine they have a cloaca that pisses and shits at the same time.
Time to avenge the Wight King.
>>161515642
>implying they don't shit out of the same hole they eat
>>161515642
Id prefer it if they had one hole for poop and something else for pee. It doesn't have to be a penis but it SHOULD be a butt. Cloacas are for birds not orcs.
>>161512031
>Steinberg Stahlberg
>Bloody Handz have no Savage Orc specific techs
That's kind of shit 2bh. Almost none of the Greenskin techs are relevant for a Savage Orc playthrough.
>>161515781
I wouldn't rule it out.
>>161516000
im gona burn it down. turn the whole place into one big bonfire that can be seen from hundreds of miles away.

>>161516039
Greenskins are fucking weird hybrid creatures, anything could be possible.
>tfw all orcs have vaginas
>>161516116
It's pronounced
Like this
Ahht-Too-Man
Ahhm-Pie-Er
>>161516072
That's why you should just use regular orcs.
What mod? Looks grittier than vanilla
>>161516116
Bizzantene
You fucking anglos
>>161516191
No vaginas would be worst. I'd rather they had a second mouth that spits pee than a vajina. Also if greenskins pop out of the ground who gives them their names?
>>161516327
Other greenskins they encounter after they pop out
>>161516061
Explains the bats and zombies in the garrison, he must have tried to cut costs.
>>161516475
Oh that makes sense because they all have terrible names.

Mannlet spent his time fighting a single giant instead of bringing his army to help Vlad. What a cunt.
>>161510153
I'm generally expierencing fps drops in newer TW games as soon as units enter combat. Could it be because my CPU is too strained?
I'm running a i5-4690K, GTX 1070 and 16GB of RAM. I'm playing at 1440p.
Specifically talking about Attila and Warhammer TW.
Past turn 10 TW games are pretty much all 20v20 battles at the minimum
What can we do to encourage smaller battles?
>>161517390
>not casting spirit leach ten times on the Giant
Seriously?
>>161517695
Play Medieval 1
>>161517695
Have a system that makes army size dependant on population size, as well as, economic output. Now, this would not alleviate the whole problem as mercenaries would fill some of the role of regular soldiers as they can't logically be tied to population size.
>>161517720
I needed those winds for Vlad and Isabella, since they were actually fighting the bird, Archaon, the normal Chaos lord, and the normal Chaos lord that replaced Sigvald.
>>161517452
>tfw putting TWW through its paces just like your mom on my five year old laptop
>>161515301
Last time I played it the Caliphate just milled around in Arabia while launching the occasional raid. Didn't get the feeling of ERE suffering I wanted out of it so I just quit in disappointment. Maybe I'll give it another try sometime.
>>161517943
Good reason.
Lack of ranged and arty does kinda handicap VC against monsters, I guess.
>>161517695
Add a mechanic for "patrols" that have a 15% increase to movement speed on home turf for reinforcing garrisons or chasing down raiders, broken armies, or "raiding parties" that get a bonus to raiding and sacking, but can't occupy settlements. They would cost less upkeep, but only can have up to ten units including a general.
Something like that.
I like the smaller battles.
BY ZE LADY
>>161518542
Good ideas.
Yeah, there's something about facing of with limited resources that seems more interesting and pushes for more interesting tactics, I find.
Holy shit, these guys are finally giving me the olive branch after many low chances of peace
There needs to be a Chaos invasion from the south event or something. Those Norscan tribes ain't worth shit, and the Dawi are too powerful.
>>161518687
>surrendering britain
kys
>>161518830
Not to worry, these are Roman separatists that follow Graeco-Roman Paganism. Not some dirty barbarians that follow their backward gods.
>>161518923
(((roman separatist))) is an oxymoron. no excuses, take it back.
>>161518801
An invasion from the South would have to be Orks, Tomb Kings or Araby. Not really any Chaos tribes thataway.
Could have a Chaos or Ogre invasion from the East though.
>>161518801
Dawi won't be as strong when Skaven, Tomb Skellies and Chaos Dwarfs are all introduced. The fact the Dwarfs don't have to protect a quarter to even half of their borders gives them a huge advantage at the moment.
>>161519115
I would if I could, but first I have to contend with the Burgundian, Rugians, some hordes near my border and an uneasy peace with the Garamantians in Africa. I can't spare stacks to deal with them.
DID SOMEBODY SAY THAGGORAKI??!
>>161519215
>An invasion from the South
>Tomb Kings
NAGASH IS WEAK!!
>>161519714
Well yeah, that's why Settra's in charge.

GOTT MIT UNS
If you give your AI ally tons of cash, will he actually use it and start pumping out extra armies, or does the cash just go away?
>>161519965
Did they fight the Dwarves at all? NPC factions tend to focus their entire war effort on you, even if they're getting buttfucked by another NPC faction.
>>161520923

>>161520874
Remove filthy surströmming
>>161518801
There is a minor invasion of raiders that spawns in from the sea around turn 100 I think?
But by that time they either get cleaned up by Orcs or the Dwarfs who have the majority of the region. But they are stacks of mostly horse fuckery and marauders. I kind of wish they did it more than once though.
Also once the other races get added Dwarfs will go from comfy to Empire 2.0. Skaven in particular know how to fuck dwarfs over hard.
>>161519610
That's a deceptively long hammer.
>>161521146
Poison is fucking incredible. The only issue is that the "Enables poison attacks (Lord's Army) stops your units from armor sundering. It's still really big, though.
>>161521318
The latin rebels retreated, but fell back into the castle itself which means it'll be a pain to retake. Luckily I have a ballista so my entire army won't die from boiling oil.
>>161521394
Mentioned the Norscan tribe, and they still ain't worth shit.
>>161521464
And to make things even better, the T*rks have declared war on me. I retreat to the castle so they hopefully try to wait out a siege.
>It's a Suthra Ek demands 7k chaos gold for absolutely no reason episode

Wielded by deceptively long arms...
>>161521146
>>161521462
Here's the debuff.
>>161521719
Here we go. I thought I took a screenshot of the ballista but I didn't. It's actually a 3D model.
>>161521938
I decided not to dismount any of my cavalry for this battle because there's enough space to maneuver inside the castle with cavalry and the enemy have their own cav while I have nothing to counter them with. I send my cav first because they're my most heavily armored units with archers behind them.
>>161521380
First Sweden, then the world!
Empires minimap sucks ass, I'm really glad they made it better in Napoleon.
The Swedes CREEEED'd a unit of cav behind my artillery somehow but I got rid of them fast enough. I have no clue what they're trying to do with their infantry but my line is tearing them up while my cannons pound them.
Though I haven't killed nearly enough Swedes yet. We will see the result.
>>161521674
The True Lord of The End Times demands tribute
If you colonize a razed city, does it give you the region's religion or yours?
>>161522267
My kataphraktoi make short work of the lone unit they left guarding the gate and are now headed directly for the general to hopefully end this battle quicker. You can't see it in these screenshots but there are arrow and gun towers everywhere and from the walls you sometimes see torches thrown at your men if they stand too close.
>>161522457
Right before I took this like 3 or 4 cannonballs slammed into the melee of cavalry, killing several of my own cavalry guards but the enemy general (garrison commander) as well.
>>161522651
Do you hold any other settlements? If you#re a horde and take a big enough settlement you can instantly convert.
>>161522687
The enemy general taken care of, I turn to see more reinforcements arriving. Their artillery still limbered and unprotected, I move my own cavalry to intercept hopefully before they can set themselves up.
>>161522683
General down but I still have to deal with two spear units.
>>161522797
No, I'm a settled faction.
>>161522837
The combination of my line infantry supplemented by 12 pounder cannons, in addition to my cavalry's domination of the flanks leads to the withdrawal of the first wave of Swedes.
Carolus' Downfall comes early this day.
>>161515337
You better be marching your Daimyo up those stairs and engaging him in single-combat.
>>161522898
My other kataphraktoi are making their way around the other side of the castle and killing their crossbowmen.
>>161522979
Are you using any mods?
>>161523070
You can see some torches in the air in this screenshot as I wipe out the last of their archers.
>>161523184
Imperial Splendour
>>161522979
Noble Prussian troops continue the relentless fire-by-rank that tears into the poor Caroleans.
>>161522932
It will take up your faction's religion.
>>161523206
Pretty good since I've tried this before without siege equipment and lost half my men at the first gate. All the cavalry I lost was worth more than their entire army though.
>>161523258
Before day's end the field shall be littered with the dead. Mostly Swedish dead.
>>161523341
The T*rks attack us right after though and we're no match for them.
>>161523383
As my cavalry finishes off their incoming artillery more Caroleans arrive and I withdraw them back to their original position on the flank.
>>161517695
Med 2 has a few more smaller battles. At the least, battles against war-damaged stacks.
Heavy nerfing to unit replenishment, or a return to replenishment like in Empire, where you had to pay for it, might lead to some smaller fights.
>>161523474
My goal is to either run the 30 min timer or take down as many as I can. I can take out their horse archers pretty easily but I can't fight the spearmen head on.
>>161523510
Despite my superiority on the field, the Caroleans are not weak men, they are indeed dauntless in the face of a numerically superior and better equipped foe. Poor lads don't even have ring bayonets yet.
>>161523665
I managed to kill off most of the army and the timer is almost done. The absolute madmen have done it. They broke down my gate but the arrow tower still fires at them.
>>161523695
I notice that two of my artillery units haven't been firing so I go back to fix this and unleash double the amount of cannon fire that the Swedes have previously been subject to.
Soon is the hour of our victory.
AAAAMSTRON GANS
>>161523821
In other news, Aragon decides to forge an alliance with me by marrying an unconvincing tranny, I will be back in the green by next turn, and the Armenians are very unhappy with the T*rks invading so they have risen up to help defend the empire. Things are looking up.
Join the legions, they said
See the world, they said
MEET NEW PEOPLE, THEY SAID
I have moved the entire line up a bit. The Swedish reinforcements are going for a heavy attack on my left flank, which is relatively weak compared to the right. I'm moving up another line unit in support along with some cavalry as well as targeting them directly with my cannons.
>>161524571

Crush the horsefuckers for some chance at elvish pussy, or be a contrarian asshole and take the Wood Elves request as a good reason to plunder Athel Loren?
What would Karl in lore do?
>>161526221
Their initial charge unsuccessful due to the stoic defense of my fusiliers as well as renewed bombardment from my cannon batteries and a flanking charge from heavy cavalry and hussars, the first wave of Caroleans retreats in shame, though their many comrades continue to swarm my beleaguered light infantry.
>>161526452
>what would Karl in lore do
Keep the fuck away from that hot mess, or try and get people to calm the fuck down.
Karl's main concern throughout his whole career was dealing with Orcs and Chaos, who you can't make peace with. He was on pretty good terms with ever other faction. Except the Undead, but Mannlet was a joke, so who can blame him?
>>161526476
The Caroleans to the rear of the initial wave form squares in response to the attack from my cavalry, too late as they are too far away and I have already withdrawn them from the melee.
These squares likewise present good targets for cannon fire, and I have also repositioned several nearby line units in support of the defense. Karl's doom is near.
>>161526452
He'd work for peace.
Karl considers Bretonnia to be decent, if troublesome allies. And the Wood Elves gave him Deathclaw, which has to count for something.
>>161526676
The main portion of my maneuvers complete, I have created something of a killing field for the unfortunate Swedish troops.
A unit of elite hussars and another line unit arrives to aid the situation.
>>161526816
Wait, the Wood Elves gave Karl Deathclaw?
Fuck Bretonnia then. I wanted their land anyway.
>>161526863
I reposition and order new targets for artillery yet again while having a unit of dragoons run down a troublesome unit of armed citizenry, and the remaining Swedes have quit the field.
The day is ours.
GOTT MIT UNS
This heralds the complete destruction of the Etruscan army. Their transports sunk at sea by a tiny roman fleet.
>>161527162
Thusly, I have shed the blood of four thousand Swedish menI took Saxony earlier
>>161527347
The transports stood no chance against veteran roman sailors.

Sweden has two regions remaining as it happens, and I left Norway with only a token garrison to protect it from retaliation while I marched on Stockholm.
Luckily I have achieved military access from Courland and so I have a second army marching on their Baltic territories and then Finland afterwards so I don't have to move the other stack back and forth.

Basically, the elves have their own game plan for the End Times: Get the hell out of Dodge.
In the End Times, the Wood Elf goddess of prophecy finds a new world, and sends her lover through to it, to act as the new Elvish Father God. It was intended to be a haven for elves and certain other races (humans, because elves want those human dickings), but got absolutely fucked over when Be'Lakor found out it existed, and through him, the Chaos Gods. So they pre-emptively fucked the place before it could build any kind of defenses against them. Literally, in Slaanesh's case.
Karl was intended to be the leader of the human gods in the new world, and so the Wood Elves went out of their way to protect him more than once. This all got derailed when he died and was possessed by Sigmar, who chose to fight for the current world as the Incarnate of the Heavens. Honestly, I suspect Karl would have made the same decision to begin with, so the elves were fucked either way.
Note that, amusingly, several Bretonnian's had been chosen to become the human gods of that world, but would have been subordinate to Karl. Thousands of years of service rewarded with having to suck the dick of your cultural rival because the elves like him more.

Why would they want to have humans in that world? Considering that humans make up much of Chaos's forces.
>>161535347
There are Elves that literally worship Slaanesh, but they were welcome too.
>>161535347
Here's the thing about humans in Warhammer.
We're fucking failures. The Old Ones got half-way through making us, then realised they'd forgotten that whole 'resistant to Chaos' thing, and moved on to the next project. Humanity spent thousands of years as barely sapient neanderthals.
Then the Polar Gate collapsed, and Chaos flooded the world. Our fragile, undeveoped minds were exposed to the infinite potential of Chaos. Our very racial sentience was linked to the primeval strength of Chaos, and we became a part of it.
Ever wonder why there are shitloads of human Daemon Princes and basically no Elf or Dwarves? It's because humanities affinity towards Chaos, whether we choose to oppose it or embrace it, is massively higher than any other species.
Elves opposed Chaos through magic, binding it's own overflow against it. Humans can oppose Chaos through will alone. Faith is a weapons that humanity alone can wield.
And Kingdom of purely Elves is fucked the moment Chaos get's it Daemonic ass in gear. I'd like to remind you that single beastman has been systematically corrupting Athel Loren into a ruined mess for years.
>>161535693
wtf I hate humanity now
>>161535693
Calling Morghur a single beastman is like calling Vlad a single vampire: technically true, but disingenuous.
>>161535693
wtf I love humanity now
>>161535879
Morghur is a potent agent of corruption, but I'd like to remind you that in some parts of Kislev, time literally doesn't work properly due to Chaos fucking with the laws of nature.
Praag became so infested with daemonic taint that it became a living entity, and the Kislevites just knocked it down and built it up again.
There's a literal shard of the warpstone moon in the heart of the Empire, and they don't give a fuck.
Humanity in Warhammer had a much higher threshold for corruption, because our very nature is corrupt. It's like dirt on a cloth. It's less noticeable if the cloth was grey to start with.

Vlad is a single vampire though.
I mean, he's not even the strongest of them. The Blood Dragon would bench press him. What made Vlad dangerous was his human elements. His charisma, empathy and actual genuine love for Isabella and the Empire.
He could genuinely have been great Emperor, in way that perhaps no other Undead could have been.

>>161536129
>and they don't give a fuck
They abandoned the city. The only non-corrupted humans that go there anymore are treasure hunters.
>>161536129
Praag was so thoroughly corrupted that it's actually fucked up in terms of abstract concepts. They've razed it and rebuilt it multiple times but it always fucks up over time. As soon as the stone starts to melt they try again, but they're fighting a losing battle. Praag was fucked up so hard that every future version of the city is bound by fate to feel echoes of the initial corruption.

All they've said is that it takes place in an era they've never covered before. This means either 16th and 17th century pike & sleep or 19th and 20th century colonialism.

>>161552225
Yeah, I forgot about that expansion somehow.
Bronze Age is still a possibility. However I think Renaissance/Pike and Shot is the likely contender. To be honest, the Age of Exploration is a very interesting era and you'd have the 30 Years War to go along with it as well.
>>161551932
Wild Riders need some necessary improvements to make them worthwhile:
>high post charge damage to trade the squishyness
>easy disengagement ability
overall from what I've seen the Wood Elves need a major Ranged Damage buff across the boards, and the tree people need more melee damage, the Tree cunts beating dogs who don't even react to it is a clear sign that they will likely be the worst monstrous unit in the game at this rate.
Also high missile defense for all tree units, wood doesn't give a fuck about arrow heads.
>>161552294
The bronze age is a fascinating and great period, but I don't think it would be very good for a Total War since the technology basically wouldn't change at all over a very long period of time.
The Broze Age collapse is too similar to Attila in terms of themes and whatnot
Maybe they could lean into the hero unit Warhammer thing and have you move around Gilgamesh or Achilles, but that's probably a shit idea.
It's most likely going to be either China or Rennaissance, and good god I hope it's not fucking China
>>161552426
Why are people so against China? I don't particularly want to have a game set there myself but I don't see how it would make a bad game (besides, I'm sure CA have giant dollar signs in their eyes when it comes to the Chinese market).

>>161552294
Pike and shot era is a weird one, only absolute anoraks and nerds ever really get interested in it take the english civil war and the model series for it which is famously geeky and not even younger geeks just middle aged lonely men. It does have some famous battles though, but a Chinese settign just seems much more suitable and will appeal to their current historical audience.
>>161552294
Bronze age wouldn't work simply because it's too far back. We're talking undeciphered writing systems, mysterious cities that were ruled by unknown kingdoms. We know there was a Bronze Age collapse because the entirety of the Middle East has a destruction layer that can be reliably carbon dated to the same few centuries, but we don't know the who, why, or how. We don't know what soldiers would have looked like. We don't know who fought who, where they fought, why they fought. It's all conjecture and mystery.
I mean, shit. It COULD be made. But it'd be completely ahistorical and frankly more fantastical than Warhammer.

>>161552580
Yeah, but its hard to underrate the power of being able to fire on the move for a True Understander, and if their accuracy is half again as good as a human crossbowmen, that's effectively more damage.
Accuracy is under the hood, so we can't be sure yet.
>>161552507

The real problem is will CA carbon copy warhammer and leave unit abilities out of the battles. That would make a pike and shot virtually pointless and even chinese infantry performed fairly complicated manouvres at the unit level so it'd remove a whole element of the tactical play.
>>161552653

Never trust the chinks, no matter how much you cater to them, they will hate you for being a "westerner pig" or a "filthy japanese", with SEGA being japanese and everything
Besides, a fuckload of Warhammer's negative reviews are not from "fuck DLC", a load come from chinks butthurt about their chinkrunes not being in the base game
>>161552786
>China an era they've already covered
Dunno how you work that out do you realise Japanese and Chinese warfare was completly different? Most Jap warfare was ritual bow practice on horseback and they lost the schematics to build crossbows (from china) so didn't bother with much armour until the dutch brought guns and made it obsolete. China has 5 distinct periods of 'warfare' in the Zhou (Bronze), warring states, three kingdoms, Ming and Qing eras all of which saw unprecedented changes in wafare and technology.
>>161553158
Era refers to time period, anon. Unless they're just rehashing R2 era gameplay with some new models on a new map to appease Chinese autists who just have to have their special snowflake game.
>>161552915
Oh fug off m8
Like, do you think anyone who refers to "late antiquity" refers to anything outside of Europe and the near-east? Or that "Ancient Greece" isn't colloquially considered an "era"
"Three Kingdoms Era China" is perfectly fitting as an "Era" that CA hasn't done before.

>>161552917
as massive as it may be, the individual chink is not known for dumping the equivalent of 100+ € on a videogame + DLC
besides, the grudge of not releasing TWW with chinese translation (and past transgressions I don't know) has hurt their popularity
if the Chinese happen to buy your game, great, but it's a shit market to cater to
Besides, there's a lot of dumb regulations and bans on videogames, not sure how a game where you can wipe out China as a steppe tribe or where you can assasinate the historical emperor will be treated

"Era" has many meanings, and can have regional significance.
>>161553837
The Sengoku Jidai ended in 1603 with the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate. If you want to be particularly anal about it the siege of Osaka took place in 1615. The Thirty Years' War by comparison didn't start until 1613. Stop being shit, anon.

I think the main problem with China TW is that it would play largely like R2 or Attila, but with gooks.
>>161554042
Isn't that the same complaint against Pike and Shot being similar to Warhammer?
I mean, we are going to reach a point where we're retreading the old ground.
>>161553994
yeah during renaissance to early modern period. Pro-tip: next historical is set in China.
>>161553885
>China isn't an era
No, but The Three Kingdoms Period is a Chinese regnal era
See: >>161553641
The Warring States period was also an era
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warring_States_period
>The Warring States period (Chinese: 戰國時代; pinyin: Zhànguó shídài) was an era in ancient Chinese history following the Spring and Autumn period and concluding with the Qin wars of conquest that saw the annexation of all other contender states, which ultimately led to the Qin state's victory in 221 BC as the first unified Chinese empire known as the Qin dynasty.

>AN ERA
Why is it that people who are the quickest to bang on about correct use of language are the most ignorant of how language actually works?
It it weren't certain to be censored then Civil War era China would be a fun one.
>>161554223
That's cool. If you'd said "The warning states period" everyone would've known what you meant.
"China is an era they've already covered" isn't just wrong, it also doesn't make a lick of sense, because China is a place and not an era.
>Time Commanders
>Episode one airs on 12 December. A team of wrestlers (Hannibal) will take on some historical board game enthusiasts (Romans) in a battle to defend Carthage.

>>161554459

>>161554308
censored as in profanity? I'm sure there's a lot of badass commentary and humour from the time that they can put in.
>>161554389
Any human being would be able to understand that "China" in the context of a Total War game refers to periods of Chinese conflict that may be relevant, all of which have taken place in centuries and involving methods of warfare that the series has already covered. Do you really just want another Attila with pingpong chingchong characters?
>>161554459
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBZclNfu2kE
>>161554560
Censored because of how the Chinese want their history to be portrayed.
>>161554560
Censored as in the PRC doesn't want anyone to portray Chinese history in a negative light.
>>161554617
Well, at least some of my TV license is going to something of value.
>>161554560
China is fucking nuts in regards to censoring content
Guess what will happen to a game where you can assasinate the Emperor, raze China as a steppe tribe, convert to Christianity, have Korea rule China...
>>161554603
>Do you really just want another Attila
Honestly I kind of do
>>161554603
I don't want China at all lad, we're already getting Skaven next year
>>161554536
Being mistaken for someone who defends China is way more mortifying than making a typo
When will they stop cockteasing us and announce the next Total War?
Darren should have sacrificed himself and leaked it back when

What the fuck are you talking about, they're putting out DLC every other month and you think they'll wait a full 2 years to release the first expansion?
>they have been working on the game since Attila released in 2015
They've been working on it for far longer than that, the main bulk of programmers and shit likely won't have been moved to the project until some point close to Attila's launch but we know from leaks back during the run-up to Rome II that there was work being done on it.
>>161555393
>They've been working on it for far longer than that, the main bulk of programmers and shit likely won't have been moved to the project until some point close to Attila's launch but we know from leaks back during the run-up to Rome II that there was work being done on it.
Someone pushing around paper and making notes on a chalk board hardly counts as working on the game imo
We already know that the next title after that is "in the concept stage"

>Someone pushing around paper and making notes on a chalk board hardly counts as working on the game imo
I mean, if they're being paid for it it kinda really does.
That not even mentioning that concept artists and shit of that nature was likely moved to the project a lot earlier than the programmers and animators.
>>161552738
>tfw C&C Generals predicted ISIS
>>161554560

>>161555628
The only thing ISIS doesn't have yet is toxin tractors
>>161555005
Probably in the next expansion/game.
So good news is you'll probably get a full roster. Bad news is you'll have to pay for it.Honestly I wouldn't mind, hell I'm at the point I'd buy flags bearer and Empire state pack DLC
>>161555768
Trumps wall will be useless once they realize they get sneak attack tunnels too.
>>161555707
Don't see how the PRC has any say over historical events and they don't censor famous scripts like romance of the three kingdoms or the June Theses. I've worked with departments over in China before and they don't seem to have much censorship though they are pretty optimistic about the supremacy of Chinese industries, specifically bronze and porcelain. That's pretty much a given though.

Refunds are not guaranteed by any means, and preordering encourages bad behaviour from developers who know that not everyone can or will refund even if they get something subpar. I will defend CA's DLC to an extent, but preordering digital goods generally doesn't make sense.
>>161557027
>Refunds are not guaranteed by any means
Uh, yes they are.
Just don't play it until the general consensus is in you dum-dum.
>preordering digital goods generally doesn't make sense

It's technically more of a Oligarchy, very similar to late soviet Russia. They'd never be able to influence Sega even if they wanted to and they pretty much severed the government's link to historic states during the Maoist years. Sure they look back on it with rose tinted spectacles but they aren't interested in doctoring the past before 1918.
>>161556362
>>161557841
You fail to understand that if Sega makes a game about China they will want to try and tap into the Chinese market.
>>161556093
It's happened in previous games, Hearts of Iron for instance has had issues in the PRC over portraying a realistically divided China, with an independent Tibet.

The Chinese government can't force Sega to make a game exactly the way they want to.
The Chinese government CAN ban a game in China.
If it's banned the Chinese can't buy it, Sega doesn't give a shit if they go play it or not, they need to pay for the thing

Total War will forever be plagued by shitty AI that can only win anything by cheating in extra stacks
I like how dark elves vs high elves battles are largely hoplite shoving matches with extra gizmos.
How goes your campaign /twg/?
My Ostrogothic kingdom is doing well, it's the year 416 and I own most of Italy
The economy is good and despite lots of wars the military is doing very well, we have slain 5 stacks of Huns so far and there are likely more to come.
The question right now is where to expand.
My puppet, Illyria, owns Sicily and Pannonia.
They are paying me and we are on good relations, furthermore both Sicily and especially Pannonia/ Dalmatia seem like a hassle to defend, so I will probably not turn on them yet.
Should I send a stack to conquer all of Macedon?
They are Graceo-Roman-Pagans and that ain't right.
Or do I send a stack to North Africa?
Africa declared war on me quite some time ago, so I have every reason to go annihilate them and build up a second economic base far away from any Huns.
>>161563014
...Why do you care?
People are allowed to like different things.
>>161563205
My dorf campaign has slowed down because of bloody handz and Greenskins both getting pretty big. It's a pain in the ass to deal with either, and I basically have to babysit wherever I conquer until it gets a wall up.
>>161563152
At least they move to attack when they are outranged in the newer games. In medieval 2 they stand there for a while and only move if you get close or they are considerably weakened.
It might be because of meme battle mods though.

>>161563842
It's my first game of TW period, I got a grombrindal code so I went with him. The crazy little bastard is unstoppable for the most part, but wherever he is, Wurrzag and Grimgor aren't, which means I have anothe unstoppable cunt and Wurrzag running around, razing shit.
I have 92 units for dorf factions and 60+ each for every other, god this is comfy af even though they might not all be loreful
>>161548174
>>161563915
IIRC magical damage just ignores physical resistance. Ethereal units just have ~80% physical resistance which is why magic damage chews them up. Thorgrim will always deal his full damage to savage orcs, for example, whilst the rest of his army will hit that 20% resistance wall.
Never seen this event before. What do?

Neither Drachenfels nor Nagash qualify as an "Ancient Evil" in the Warhammer Universe. And with Chaos hogging almost all the bad, the setting doesn't have space for more "World Ending Ancient Evil bad guys". And it shows in End Times where the writers forgot half the plotlines that were running simultaneously and in the Background established by old Lore.

twg I need your help, because I've turned myself into a massive shitter.
Been playing Total War since Medieval I, but I got into the series as a kid. The game would always kick my ass, because I was a retarded child and eventually I turned the difficulty down to easy. Ever since then, gradually, out of force of habit, I've started every new Total War's campaign on easy, thinking "eh, I'll increase the difficulty in another playthrough when I've mastered the mechanics".
So now, it's 2016 and I just started playing on normal/hard/very hard. Managed to beat a couple of campaigns on normal and hard, but I ended up rage quitting my last two attempts on very hard. One was in FOTS where eventually it was the entire half of japan vs. me. I dominated them in land battles but they overwhelmed my fleet and ruined every port I had and cut off my income and prevented me from rebuilding my fleet. I ended up ragequitting when they dropped off two full stacks in kyushu while my main armies were in central japan and I was too broke to raise an army to defend myself. The other time was in Shogun II vanilla where I was just finishing up a war with one clan to have another one declare war on me the minute we had a mutual border and besiege my town with five stacks. I had two stacks so I ended up barely winning the battle. My army was devastated though, and I didn't have the energy to continue.
What I need your help with is, for you to let me bounce my idea of a campaign strat off you. This what I think will let even me, a shitter, win. This is for FOTS btw

That seems silly. You can invest those shekels into buildings that make money or troops that conquer territory that gives you money.

You use that money to build your economy to be ready to be self sustained
>>161566057
It's dumb to not trade as there are no negatives whatsoever. Use that money to invest. If it gets so bad that you go into the red then just disband some troops and be on the same level as if you've never traded plus the added infrastructure investment.

40k is a setting which is not balanced across factions, the Imperium is totally ascendant and even a massive civil war didn't really damage its hold. But that is what makes the Imperium a more interesting setting than typical fantasy/sci-fi humans since they are evil or good depending on perspective.

Warhams is only shallower in terms of the campaign map, and the Total War campaign map has always just been a shallower, less fun version of Civ/Crusader Kings.

Grimgor Ironhide was never a Faction Leader Type.
He literally doesn't give a fuck about anyone but his Immortulz.
His only qualification is being the meanest and angriest orc around, he's not a particular leader person.
The Great Green Prophet on the other Hand is indeed a Leader.

>>161568810
Your complaints about busywork. The old games were competently executed wargames with a risk style map that had a focus on proper strategy rather than dealing with shitty reinforcement ranges, AI abandoning castles because their AI is retarded and can't handle the 3D map (which CA had to band-aid fix later on with garrisons), and picking tiny percentile bonuses for your lords every turn when they level up because you gotta keep feeding strategy players now with XP and goodies. I'm not even sure why they even bothered with a tech tree in warhammer other than adding more busywork.
>>161569312
>His only qualification is being the meanest and angriest orc around
Perfect orc leader
>>161569312
>His only qualification is being the meanest and angriest orc around
but anon that's what makes an orc a leader
>>161569406
Also while the campaign map itself doesn't have the same level of depth as something like Dominions 4, it keeps the pacing going without excessive micromanagement like EB.
>>161569307
For the DLC yeah, I meant the full game.
wait a second... did they improve on the Gorebeast chariot's animations? I remember them having the single worst animation (bug?) yet now they actually look great when running
>>161569312
>His only qualification is being the meanest and angriest orc around, he's not a particular leader person.
so an Orc leader then?
>>161569738
They seem to have updated the animations for the tree kin as well. They originally had chaos spawn animation but it seems different now.
>>161569406
that wasn't me though. I was wondering about the pic though. thanks for clearing it up.
>rather than dealing with shitty reinforcement ranges
in reference to all the game from shogun 2 and beyond i assume?
>AI abandoning castles because their AI is retarded and can't handle the 3D map
so it's been bad since Rome 1 then?

that's what i'm currently doing. got the first tier of walls up so I think that should be enough for now. now I gotta decide where i'm attacking first.

>>161570034
>in reference to all the game from shogun 2 and beyond i assume?
Yes and no. Rome 1's were really strict but they at least made sense to be directly next to the other person. The biggest problem I have with them are usually in Rome 2 and Attila where the enemy can just stroll right past you and all sorts of weird buggy game logic that happens in a campaign. It's made worse since you can't move troops around without a general.
>so it's been bad since Rome 1 then?
Yes to the point where lots of mods for M2 spawn stacks when you besiege a faction capital because the AI kept leaving them empty. Also if you ever open up the console for RTW or M2TW you see how many mods have to give AI loads of cash to keep from crumbling but to be fair every game gives some sort of income bonus to them.
>do you like it in the other games?
I didn't like in in Rome 2 or Attila either because they didn't really make sense. I'd rather have technological breakthroughs through building trees or other events. It was even worse in Attila when going down the tech tree would make you lose important tech like aqueducts and the shitty percentile bonuses you get from researching techs feel gamey and unsatisfying. A 15% bonus in ammunition when your archers only have 12 ammo will give you only one or two extra shots.
>>161570272
I wonder if you'd actually get mulatto offspring if you manage to marry your faction leader to an Aksum princess or something.
7 DAYS
The Prussian crown prince has laid siege to Straßburg.
Napoleon himself sorties from the city to repell the Prussian men from what he perceives as French soil.
>>161570780
>the enemy can just stroll right past you and all sorts of weird buggy game logic that happens in a campaign
God I hate that shit so fucking much.
I recently started a new campaign in Attila as Franks and expanded into Germania, I got into wars with the Angles and Geats so I stationed an Army in the woods near that narrow part between Denmark and Germany because I saw them gathering troops there.
Then they were able to walk right past me and sacked my settlement REEEEEEEEEE
Do you have to put them into a special stance for an ambush or did they remove that entirely?

Not really compared to Gorbad Ironclaw or Azhag and especially not compared to Grom or Skarsnik. Grimgor has no ambition or will to rule and doesn't even call Waaghs. He's described as Gork's avatar he just inspires greenskins around him into fighting.
>>161571072
In Warhammer? You still have to go into ambush stance.
>>161571069
The French cavalry got outflanked and Napoleon lost his guns very early on.
Relying on the famous elán of his troups, he ordered the grenadiers of the Polish Legion to lead a bayonet charge into the Prussian centre, making three guns unusable and putting heavy casualties on the Prussian Life Guard Grenadiers.
The men held however, and with Prussian Füsiliers at the flanks turning their guns at French and Polish backs and the Prussian cavalry charging into the French ranks, Napoleon withdraws from the field, wounded.
>>161571120
White lions are badass as fuck
>>161571139
The only measure that greenskins have of what a leader is is who is the biggest and hardest Orc in the tribe.
In every way that matters Grimgor is the perfect Greenskin leader.
Grom especially is an example of someone who was actually a rather bad greenskin leader, once he captured a big opulent city with a big opulent palace he literally just decided to sit around, watch chariot races and eat until his orcs started to desert him.
Grimgor doesn't want anything other than a better fight which is why his hordes will never abandon him no matter how many he slaughters in a boredom induced rage.
>>161571089
You are gonna be chanting 'Ghrond!' throughout that battle, right? We'll have to make it an unwritten rule for the player to have to keep chanting Ghrond! until they've manually steered a battering ram to the city gates and breached them.

A month later, the French attempt to retake the city, and look to have a very good shot at it.
The Prussians only have a single gun against thirteen (13), their heavy cavalry is outnumbered more than 3:1, their light cavalry even more.

He doesn't have any hordes, he can't manage armies, at best he'll just kill the Bosses of groups of greenskins for the sake of a fight and their warbands will follow him. On TT you just assume he happened to walk onto the field of battle, I doubt many play campaigns with him. There's a lot of similar characters like Krell and Tretch who obviously aren't leaders.
Grom is a good greenskin leader since he found the most legendary fights for his waaagh and the shiniest loot.

What the actual fuck are you talking about.
Greenskins flock to him in droves because, again, he exhibits the two traits that Greenskins look for in the leaders above all else, being the biggest, strongest git around and an uncanny ability to find big, tough fights.
>Grom is a good greenskin leader since he found the most legendary fights for his waaagh and the shiniest loot.
Grom stopped looking for fights or loot entirely until a shaman bonked him on the head and told him that it was time to stop wasting time and by that point basically all the Black Orcs in his train had already fucked off.
Wasn't there supposed to be a gameplay vid this week?
Even as Ghrond falls, scouts report that the Witch king himself is leading a dread legion from Naggaroth.
Prince Teclis gather's his army and marches to meet them on the road to naggaroth. If the dark elves win, Phoenix king will be forced to abandon the holdings on Naggaroth mainland. the campaigns of the last few years will be for nought.
If the High elves prevail, malekith will be finished. His underlings are watching his every move and a defeat on the outskirts of his dread capital will shake the Druchii to their very bones.
The war started aeons ago will be decided here.

Grimgor is obviously not a leader in the same sense that Gorbad Ironclaw, Grom and Skarsnik is. He doesn't organise his armies, he doesn't provide targets or goals, he doesn't create a hierarchy or reward his followers and doesn't have a legacy or legend like 'warlord of the eight peaks' or 'scourge of the elves'.
Seizing his advantage in infantry, the Prussian prince walks his men up. Realising that he must break the line, the French general charges his cavarly forward as the air tastes more and more like sulfur and blood.

So Altar of the Huns arrived with a boatload of gold and a small Germanic warband, bought up a force of local Celts, and is camping out in the province. King Attila's great invasion of the west is stalling out due to the fabled Western Roman Empire actually being an endless series of diseased, plague-ridden shitholes run by barbarians. Altar's mighty legion of Huns, with all their armor and horses, died in Gallia leaving him only with a few good men. Taking pity, the Emperor Honorius allows the general and his surviving tribespeople to take some land on the island and recuperate.

Those are actually Teutogen Guard who outdo the Dwarfs at their own racket because they are humans. I'll bet that the only reason that they weren't included in the Beastmen expansion (aside from the typical strategy dev's laziness and greed) is due to 'muh faction diversity'.

furthermore, wouldn't a dwarf's endurance be total shit, so humanity would easily outlast them in a prolonged engagement? One of the big reasons humans took over the world was our endurance, especially when it came to outcompeting our shorter, stronger, and more bulky ancestors.
