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.

If you take up Dorfs early you might develop bad habits, their artillery and ranged prowess are fucking OP, especially as it allows you to do things that aren't possible as any other race. They're quite possibly the easiest race at the start though, apart from Clan Angrund. However, unless you're installing unit mods you won't learn the awesomeness of cavalry, apart from the flying war machines.

Empire will also give you a good view of all enemies, whereas Dorfs are more greenskin amd beastmen focused to begin with. And entirely I'd recommend to delay the chaos Invasion or stop it so you have time to enjoy inter-empire conflict, vampire counts, beastmen and greenskins and just how much fighting each one varies.

Use something expendable to hold the giant down, like spears, then use ranged to murder it. Halberdiers are better suited for countering monstrous infantry or cavalry than straight up single unit monsters.

The bigger it is, the more likely ranged fire is the answer.

Make tons of armies, raid and sack everything, and just forget the public order altogether. Use uprisings as excuses to level up your armies.

Going to start posting the PBEM SS6.4 campaign that was supposed to be played a year ago in the naive hope that it will actually go through this year. I already have one person down for it. This is the current leader of the ERE who is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Both the Venetians and Hungarians are expanding rapidly from the west while the Turks are trying to conquer us from the East and Greek Rebels in our land are hell bent on conquering Constantinople.

>>162048845
>armor pen
Units have an armor stat which essentially blocks damage taken (based on the enemies weapon strength). Armor Piercing damage allows you to get through the armor and do more damage per hit.
On the unit card of each unit if you look at Weapon Strength there will be a little icon to the left of the number that you can use to tell if the unit has any special damage types (magic, fire, poison, armor piercing, etc.)

Growth goes towards your Population Surplus for each region, which is used to upgrade individual settlements.

Beastmen, Warriors of Chaos and Vampire Counts all must corrupt the land they tread or face Public Order and Attrition penalties. If you are a faction that is not one of those three, Corruption is bad. There are special buildings and character skills that will reduce it.

Don't expand to quickly. When founding a new settlement go for Growth, then Walls in that order.

Hope that helps.

Didn't work well to be honest.

TWW has a decent amount of things that makes up for a lot of those things.

E.G Bigger(more varied) map, better faction variety.

For battles you got damaging magic(which could be better yay for mods) and summoning.

The building system is pretty similar too. Making Wissenland pump out triple silver ranked infantry is just as effective as making those delicious min-maxed recruitment towns in Shogun 2. I get the same comfy feeling at least. Also trade resources(with trading) still matter a lot for your income.

I kinda want to see naval battles in TWW, but I haven't really found them that enjoyable in previous TWW games. Fots was nice enough though.

Did they bring back trade resources impacting what buildings you can construct? I remember that was always a good feature in Shogun 2, that they fucked up in Rome 2. That's half of what made Shogun 2 trading good. It had real tangible benefits beyond +50 more gold.

Doesn't mean much when the campaign map is a piece of shit with the least amount of variety when it comes to battle types. No more bridge crossings, unwalled towns, or interesting siege battles.

>For battles you got damaging magic(which could be better yay for mods) and summoning
Too bad magic is shit tier and like I said pretty much the same as Shogun 2 general abilities.

Upgrades and tech tree in warhammer are terrible and often feel like forced mini bonuses instead of tangible, major improvements to units and technology. FotS especially. In shogun 2 you had to manage food, income, public order, and population growth while in Warhammer upgrades to buildings have no tradeoffs whatsoever.

>>162051369
It's a very old school mentality where you'd shuttle save files between yourself and your friend via email with each of you playing one game turn before sending it back. The most modern implementation that i've seen is probably Dwarf Fortress with a bunch of people shuffling a save file around to play Boatmurdered.

>>162051485

That's not even it.
Dwarf Fortress "PBEM" was a succession game where one player would play - like - until a king died, and then another would take over the game.

True "PBEM" was back in the turn-based games period when two (or more) people played against each other.
So, one would make his turn, then the other, then the first again - and all by swapping the savefile over e-mail.

> I said pretty much the same as Shogun 2 general abilities.

Not the damaging spells(which are really nice with mods)

>In shogun 2 you had to manage food, income, public order, and population growth

You do have to manage income, growth and public order in TWW though. There is a point when this solved forever but it's like that in Shogun 2 also.

>Upgrades and tech tree in warhammer are terrible and often feel like forced mini bonuses

Dwarf tech bonuses can be pretty substantial 2bh

Also I don't really find shogun 2 siege battles any more interesting than the TWW siege battles.

>>162051704

>The firing drills in shogun 2 made your gunpowder units perform worse because they would shuffle all the time and so on. It worked in fots because gunpowder units had insane stats to make up for it.
Firing drills in FotS are different, that's why it works.

Kneel fire is stationary and once it's selected, the unit cannot shift. Every unit fires at once, and then post that, fires when reloaded. Fire by rank (vanilla) is what has the issues. Each member of the unit had to be in range, perfectly in line, and reloaded, and then it could fire. Then it'd cycle, and get stuck waiting for whatever the units Abu Hajar was, to get their shit together, if they were stuck in a reload. You couldn't reinforce through your matchlocks, because it'd upset their specific intervals. Supposedly it worked back when the game came out, and then when FotS came out, something broke, and CA never fixed it. Similar with naval battle AI.

Have someone who isn't brain-damaged get in-charge of balancing them, make it so high winds requiring spells (~25-30) are battle-altering decimate units tier, and low level winds (~5-10) for more benign "magic power" tier things from prior games, buffs / debuffs, etc.

Basically make it so magic is fun to use, while limiting spammability.

Stumbled upon this last night.

Recommend me a good mod for it. Used to play it with total realism mod.

Learn to fucking read you retard:
PBEM = Play By E-Mail.
Hotseat = play by taking turns in a seat.

In what universe are those two the same thing?

>>162052268

Europa Barbarorum you scrub

>>162052005
Exactly.

Europa Barbarorum

Holy shit you're actually retarded

You play your turn, save the game and then send it to the other player, then repeat. Using hotseat to be able to play different factions instead of doing some "when the king dies" shit.

>Firing drills in FotS are different

You are right it seems. I played shogun 2 a shit ton. FotS less so.

Wonder if there is a mod that ports the changes over.

>Calling multiplayers, the only people that should hold an opinion on anything since they're leagues above single player heroes, babbies.

Opinion discarded.

Any ideas on how the map is going to expand?

My guess is we'll be getting these areas

>Using hotseat to be able to play different factions instead of doing some "when the king dies" shit.

WTF are you babbling about?
Like I said, hotseat is a playstyle where your (human) opponent waits in the same room as you, and takes the same seat (i.e.chair or sofa) to make his turn once you're done.
Who's talking about "when the king dies" shit?

>>162052076
diversify the lores to have unique playstyles. if only CA tried to be more like the tabletop

>>162052496
I just described to you that you can use hotseat to PBEM

Are you actually retarded

>>162052496

I think you're arguing with a legitimate autist

>>162052458
pssst you're only 5% of the playerbase

hey goys should I play EB2 or EB1? keep in mind that I don't own Rome1 so I'd have to buy it

>>162052548

Hell, no - I'm an autist, and I would've recognized my own.
This guy simply has no clue what hotseat or PBEM is.

>>162052495
From datamined map we're getting all of the New World and Ulthuan scrunched up to the left, the desert part of the Southlands, and the Dark Lands with an indeterminate portion of the Mountains of Mourn.

Datamining says that expansion 1 is the New World and Ulthuan while expansion 2 is devoted to the Chaos Gods. The Southlands and Dark Lands are probably DLC for the base game but we don't know if they're releasing sooner or later than the expansions.

All subject to change.

>>162052602
Pirate Rome 1 and try both.

>>162052561

The elite.

Fuck the elves, I can't wait for Bretonnia

>playing your turn via email isn't PBEM

>>162052530

So, you're going to make your turn
save the game
send the saved game by e-mail to another player
get up and let that player sit down in the same chair you used 5 seconds ago
then he's gonna download that save from his e-mail
load that save
and play his turn.

This is what you're claiming.
This is what you choose to defend.

Retard.

No, you use the hotseat functionality to be able to PBEM. You don't actually hotseat.
