they're waiting for the interesting lores before spending the big bucks.

Will the -10% stay until launch?

I should probably try the game first before buying dlc. I kinda don't want to though, want to wait for elves to hit for a more populated campaign. Wat do? Go in blind and preorder? I do want the elves and the -10%.

It's not my first total war btw and fantasy total war was one of my dreams so I doubt I won't like it.

Are there any mods which add more banners and marks?

It's because of them balancing a singleplayer game around multiplayer balance. Instead of balancing the game around having a fun singleplayer, and just making blatantly OP things prohibitively expensive for meme multi that so few use, they just want to keep it all nerfed down.

Magic is never going to be good.

Third Age MOS campaign, playing as Gondor VH campaign/H battle difficulty because I haven't played M2 in a long time.
Quickly going through my game plan.
1. Lowered tax levels in all cities to low
2. Built Land Clearances (level one farms) everywhere I could with the exception of a mine in Dol Amroth.
3. Send garrison troops from nearby settlements to Pelagir since baddies can cross the river there (Notice the ship blocking another crossing in pic)
4. Take Eastern Osgiliath back from Sauron

>>161831976
I seriously hope so. Like I kind of get that feeling with Warhammer overall. Like they're trying to front load this game with as much as they can just to be the bases down so they can then finish it latter.

At least I'd like to hope so because WEW THOSE COPY PASTE LORES OF MAGIC.

All the original faction leaders having unique appearances and the heirs only having a small chance to get the hat kind of gives me a Dynasty Warriors vibe.

By the time most of the originals die, the setting is pretty well established, Rome is destroyed, Attila is most likely defeated, it's now all just a bunch of lesser kings squabbling over their father's legacy, individuals who will never live in the glory days of their predecessors (and their sweet hats).

>>161839125
So besides the Skaven, what other races could we expect to be released as DLC?

So as someone who hasn't played the old TW games in a while, I kind of forgot how you would do well with the old city-based recruitment system. Do you just leave all your garrisons empty and jump all your troops in one big stack? Or do you leave some troops always garrisoned?

The Orcs have the terrain advantage, the AI unfortunately is not bright enough to exploit it in deployment. They have started moving towards the top of the hill and seeing this Boromir rides out to delay them while the men make a mad dash to catch up and stop the orcs from taking the strategic position.

He should have been in encampment stance, not marching during winter. Cavalry can't get behind you when you have palisade walls, and towers are pretty brutal.

Is Engra even in 8th and if so how is he different to Archaon? I'd assume Valkia or Wulfrik would be easier to implement especially since the others use chaos lores.

Kislev, Dogs of War, Vampire Coast and other wacky armies are possible inclusions based on the precedent set by the Slavs expansion for Attila.

if orcs love fighting so much, why do they route?

>>161840772
Makes sense, reading it like that. Also, maybe WoC will get some additional units when the Daemons army is released

is it even worth it to upgrade your settlements to tier iv cities in attila?

How would you beat a dwarf army with a ironbreaker front line and shielded crossbowman?

I looked into using the building editor to make a MTW style settlement building, but I wasn't sure if the AI would use the resultant buildings, or if it'd just give up. And the editor looked complicated, because I've never edited anything for a total war game before.

The rest are basically just reskinned factions, you can get them if you want but gameplay is identicle.

>>161842981
Faction packs depend on which factions you want to play (With Langobards, Celts and Desert Empires being the best of those), since new factions are added to the Ai for free.

Campaign packs are self-containing and don't effect the main game. Age of Charlemagne is god tier though, with Last Roman only for those fans of the campaigns it represents.

Blood and Burning is essential.

Warpath was a fun uphill battle, the only thing bad about it was the horribly exploitable AI.

Wrath of Sparta definitely is worst with it's 9 units across all factions.

Peninsula War was also fairly bland.

the main problem isn't the research its the fact that a lot of AI factions are only 1-2 settlements and because of that have no barracks, main settlement building should give more than 1 unit for recruitment that way the AI would have more variety

I mean to be fair Rome II was and still kind of is a disappointment. probably worse than Empire was because the majority is more interested in the Roman setting.

That said a lot of this shit is fucking older gamers stuck in the past being like "YOU GUYS REMEMBER EXPANSION PACKS? MAN FUCK DLC!"

depends on what you want.

celts are gorrila warfare experts.
slavs have unique victory conditions that revolve around building 'wonders' and can recolonize ruined settlements for free. they are the "anti-hun", building instead of destroying.
longbeards have pretty good unit diversity, but no special features (except that both the longbeards and celts have unique event chains that give them a special custom general unit, which is neat).
empires of sand has great unit diversity, lets you play as jews, and a special horde faction that can raise free units from raiding. well recommended.
vikings were just preorder bait. there are plenty of barbarian raider factions in the game already, saxons also use the nordic roster, and these factions have nothing in the way of unique features. not recommended.

the last roman has five playable factions in theory, but you're clearly intended to play as the roman expedition. if you are a fan of romans this is a very different experience from the roman factions in the grand campaign, giving you the chance to start from the position of a small, mobile roman "horde" instead of a bloated empire. otherwise you can give it a miss.

age of charlemagne is worth getting if you want a more conventional empire-building experience than the grand campaign. in some respects it's a little simplified, which may or may not suit your tastes.

We already got the campaign gameplay, and a battle, they already revealed Morghur and the harpies, so what else can they show off?

Is it just going to be something like the "introducing Treemen" type of thing to fill in the gap? Or is there something left for them to show that they haven't yet as a last minute surprise.

It is now Official. Athel Loren is radiant in its resplendence. Delicate young boys cavort for the delight of their mistresses, and the luminescence of sprites and pixies flicker through the enchanted wood. The Sisters of Twilight languorously uncurl from their embrace; panpipes flute a tune of merriment throughout the halls of the summerstrand. The diverting indignities of gorposting and Deep-Thinking Goblins are a receding memory, a windblown fragment of the season past. All Asrai make ready for frolic and improductivity; indolence is the watchword, and none can be found but are feverishly, zealously committed to inactivity.

From the Oak of Ages, the Eternal Queen watches and is warmed by the celebrations of her people. In such a festive air, Orion's rebirth cannot but be imminent; Ariel's handmaidens ceaselessly weave flowers into her hair, presenting an endless procession of styles and and aspects by which their beloved monarch might greet her consort. Those that retain a sense of time and worldly events look to his arrival; Naieth's divinations serve only to confirm what the jubilant atmosphere of the forest makes evident.

Wood Elves Confirmed.

Said time and again, but I'll take quality over quantity any day.

Nope your shitty patriarch is still the worst unit in the game next to goblin wolf chariots.

Maybe if you play for 500 turns or border milan

Can't see one, unless you're so bad at managing the simplest economy in the series that like 150 gold is going to make a massive difference.

>>161846531

If it works the same way as Attila then your faction leader can end up getting some really shitty traits like public order debuffs

I kinda wish TWWH had a mod that put some kind of fantasy ERE in. I'd play it even if it was some autistic Anthonius-tier shit.

As opposed to kingdoms, who had 4 shitty mini campaigns, didn't add any feature or fix any problem with the vanilla game and was ultimately only good to have because mods used it?

The Empire is clearly based on the Holy Roman Empire, which differs greatly from the Eastern Roman Empire on at least three counts.

no you paid 40 for 10 old factions that used the same assets from vanilla.

Unless you consider adding horns to great helms worthy of it, meanwhile for 15 euros I'm getting a lot more content, actual modelling, texturing, voice acting and animation put into the game, not to mention new campaign mechanics.

t. total war player since the very start that actually knows what he's talking about

after noticing that the Mughals are about to be overrun I broke my trade agreement with them and invaded, despite my failure to sign a peace treaty with the Ottomans, the good news is that its going to be extremely easy to conquer Mughals, the bad news is that they are allied with the Brits who also joined to fight me

hopefully they won't go after my trade fleets as those are extremely vulnerable, and trade is my main source of income since my taxes are set at the minimum

anyway, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it, at the moment though Punjab awaits

Not him, but Mordor will seriously fuck your shit up in MOS. If he sieged it out, without a doubt, multiple Mordor stacks would've come to reinforce.

Carthage and Byzantine were colonies of which free city?

>>161839125
I have to say the idea that expansion 1 will have Ulthuan, Naggaroth, Lustria and Nekehara is pretty ludicrous. The first three makes sense, but there is no way to make Nekehara a cohesive part of a map involving those other 3.

I keep trying to explain that having Nekehara would be retarded. But for some reason there are people always rejecting the idea that Tomb Kings somehow can't be a DLC race that also expands the map.

Man that's what makes me play empire instead of napoleon. Sweeter uniforms and way of warfare, better map regions and polished gameplay still can't make up for the comparative lack of scope.

Having to manage the european diplomatic web while trying to get north africa without the brits getting mad, meanwhile competing for trade routes, planning the conquest of india and keeping an eye on the conflicts in america? How can other TW games even compete?
