Just use a mod that removes negative traits, nothing worse than a general getting a negative trait the turn after occupying a city.

>>163357125
You have to be playing the politics game as well, means promotions for your guys (most important for long term garrisoned guys) every time they are available, marriages, all that shit.

The day is ours! Huzzah and hoorah!

Most of their losses were cheap spears, so all in all about even with ours (materially-speaking), though we did kill their king and (I think) one of his sons. This was the bulk of their army that I could see, unless they've got another stack coming from Sicily.

Even if Romedaddy grounds us again before we can siege/assault Napoli, this will have been enough of a victory for me.

pm me the fix?

>>163361683
CA changed how victory points works in settlements some point during their patches for Rome 2. Holding it caused a timer to count down, like in city battles that gave the victory to the attacker.

However, that was changed so the victory point in settlements is simply a morale modifier and has nothing to do with winning.
In true CA fashion, they never changed the AI to handle this, so it will cap the point if possible and then just sit on it, waiting for the timer to run out, giving the defender the victory.

Hey /twg/ I have a question.

When choosing a faction in TWW, does the starting lord's "Lord Effects" affect every army in the game?

For instance. If I choose to play the game as Gelt (lol) and have that -25% upkeep for Battle Wizard heroes, does that apply for all my armies?

And if I recruit Franz within that same game, will I have his -10% upkeep for Reiksguard and Greatswords too?

My main question is... how can you possibly tell between what Lord Effects apply for the whole army, and which ones only apply for that lord's army?

https://www.google.ca/?gws_rd=ssl#q=MSS32.DLL

Looks like it is a file 32bit systems use to load sounds and you must have a 64 bit system. Apparently you can just download the mss32.dll file and throw it into the game directory.

>>163366946

of course m8

waaaghs can only be spawned if you have 17 units in their parent army and despawn if you have fewer than 17 units in the parent army

don't merge units unless you're able to recruit more on the same turn else you're fucked

>>163366850
Shogun 2 doesn't suck it's just that FotS might be one of the best games CA ever made. RotS is really weird especially when you start out.

Units are incredibly bad, you don't have actual walls but rather a bunch of fences in most settlements, Samurai are a weird bow/sword mix and the family allegiances can play out pretty weird. Feels very different from the other two games for sure.

>>163367060
game directory, as in the files you see when you right click open. As when i tried to move the dll file over the disc ejected itself

>>163367079
Is it just me or are WAAGHs underpowered as hell? It is typically just a stack of crappy units. The only thing I've found use for them for doing is soaking up bullets/arrows and taking shitty settlements that I don't want to waste Grimgor's time on.

>>163367370
The game directory is where the program is installed on your machine, where the rome.exe file is. So it should be C:/Programs/CreativeAssembly/RomeTotalWar or something. If you have a shorcut on your desktop you can right click that and click open file location.

>>163367537
yeah they're pretty shit, i just use them to autoresolve battles that i don't feel like doing or i send them off to attack settlements that dont have a garrison that are too far away for my army.

>>163367537
You literally just explained both of their intended uses. It's a stack of twenty units to either eat projectiles during siege assaults or to autoresolve battles in the middle of nowhere to save you time.

>>163367537
It's a wall of cannon fodder that lets you auto-resolve literally everything.

I don't give a shit if the game's pretty. I want functional campaign/battle AI in a game with a singleplayer-only turn-based campaign.

Lots of folks, though I don't get to participate much because of work and school. Paradox games have a pretty dedicated niche just like TW.

And they totally are. Just look at the design choices with regard to their most recent titles.

there are 2 chaos waves - 1, when they first invade with a few shitter armies, then 2, when all of their Legendary Lords spawn alongside Archaon and the birdman.

Get an assassin Hero, build up Assassinate mechanics and get them past level 20, then harass the army that's giving you problems over and over. Seriously, assassinating Archaon will make creaming his army much easier.

>At that moment, a new force entered the city; a massive army of Elves, far better equipped than army Grom had ever seen, arrived seemingly from nowhere. The leader of the force, a regal Elf with nothing but hatred in his heart after seeing the devastation of his home, beheaded Ol'Blacktoof as he passed him on his gryphon Stormwing on his way to the tower. There, Eltharion and his two trusted Mages attempted to calm the Winds of Magic and save the world. Nobody knows what happened exactly other than the two Mages were never seen seen again and from that day forward, the cocky and roguish Eltharion carried the demeanor of a driven and mistrusting general with a one hundred yard stare. Grom's army was caught between battle-hardened veterans in front, and rallied defenders from the rear. Most of his army immediately fled, including Grom himself. Driven to the sea and the remains of their wrecked ship, all Greenskins were slain and the land burned to prevent the spores from rooting. Eltharion went on a rampage across the Old World, destroying Greenskins to the point Goblins everywhere would fear Elves.

>Elves claim Grom's ultimate fate was waddling into the ocean and drowning. Goblins who knew him claim Grom would never walk, and that he either caught Ol'Blacktoof's Wyvern and made for new lands to continue WAAAGH Grom, or else rode a magic Elf chariot straight up one of the Annuli mountains. As many years have passed with no hint of Grom, most assume he is dead. It was revealed by a BL author that Grom is dead. Eltharion, on a solo mission, Hunted him down, Tortured him in ways that would put the dark elves to shame, then fed his body piece by piece into a magical furnace. The Grim kept this to himself since he didn't want the other elves to know he sunk to such levels of barbarity.

Well, it seems he got btfo

Chaos is supposed to be the strongest faction in Warhammer Fantasy, right?

Should they keep boosting and adding to Chaos Warriors or make an entirely new Chaos faction alongside them?

What would it be, if so?

>>163374719
i thought elves rode dragons

>>163374769
There are three Chaos factions: Warriors, Beastmen, and Daemons.

>>163374769
The second expansion has already been confirmed via the datamine to have a fully fleshed out faction for each of the Chaos gods. That means marauders, warriors, beastmen, and daemons in one army.

>>163374126
didnt he go on a super sekrit mission in ulthuan on behest of Gork and mork to break the world or something?

>>163374769
All of the factions are intended to be balanced on a tactical level (though of course this does not happen in practice).

>>163373247
My memory is foggy but your main fightan army should have some parts of Grave Guard, Terrorgheist, Crypt Horrors, Bats, and Wraiths. You want one part of your army to hold the front while you send your fliers around to fuck them in the ass.

>but they're clearly just daemons, silly anon!

There are nowhere near enough god-specific units in either the Daemons, Warriors, or Beastmen army books. Unless CA are inventing entirely new rosters for each of them literally the only possibility is for all God aligned units to be lumped together.

Because CA haven't had the opportunity to give Kislev unique units. In an ideal world they'd be entirely different from the Empire or the Southern Realms. They're a mixture of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Huns, the Mongols, and various flavors of Slav.

Will we ever get multiwall sieges again?

I don't mind some one wall sieges for big settlements but for every siege it's getting old.

skaven are pre order bonus, and will spawn randomly from lizardmen spawning pools, and go on to corrupt more i succesful.
lizardmen can only be recruited from spawning pools nowhere else

how do rivers work? why do they get bigger further away from the mountains?

>>163378545
because as they go towards the sea or a lake they are joined by other smaller streams and rivers

Really? Did you never learn about drainage basins in school?

Kislev just has a placeholder roster right now.
In reality they have a very different army which is kinda like Poland+Russia+Mongols.

>>163378783
I mean look at the ones above Kislev. Getting bigger before combining.

How much do you think they will change for the Grand Grand campaign map?

Will it just be the current map with extra provinces, or a whole redesign

>>163378937
Do you not understand how rivers work? Are you wording your question strangely? I'm so confused.

>>163378304
No, because that would require effort. For me though I just think the whole army and recruitment system in total war is shit especially for a warhammer game and ends up fucking up balance because they seem to be trying to make it like tabletop but it doesn't work unless they switch to a point based recruitment system.

It's going to be the middle ground between what everyone actually wants and the laziest possible way to implement it.

look it's magically getting bigger away from the mountains

>>163379058
>point based recruitment with a 2+ core and 0-2 special/rare slots

That would be ideal, and would go a long way to preventing random AI doomstacks. The tabletop fixed this shit in the 1980s.

Does BOTET work with the steam version of M2?

I want to play high elves, but not so much that I want to bother with different versions of M2

>>163379008
Travel points to get there, otherwise cut off. You probably get an option to look inside the map. Turntimes would be unbearable if the whole damn thing would actually be combined.

>Varghulf deals 230 fucking melee damage

Whose idea was this?

How much does 'the grim and the grave' shape up playing as the VC, and its just Vlad's army that has vanguard deployment right?
>>163379008
Current map with extra provinces, so the expansion only map will be oversized version of Ulthuan, naggaroth and lustria

>>163379240
Dude, I don't even know right know. What is your problem with that. Have you ever seen a map or a river bed in real life? What is so special about a river not having the same width everywhere?

>>163379240
That's how rivers work, you astonishingly stupid fucking mongoloid. Lots of individual sources of water flow downhill and turn in to one giant source of water. That's why the line is drawn thicker as it approaches the ocean.

>>163379240
not every single tributary is on the map.
400 tiny creeks flowing into the main river adds up.
also rivers get less deep and wider as the land gets flatter.

Here I found something for you:
https://youtu.be/k2TCjSuWEg0

>>163379240
You do know that's because all the other tributaries are meeting up with the main river, and the sea widens the river estuary

>>163379347
>artillery deals 450 armor piercing ranged damage whilst being immune to danger

Who thought of this? This is ridiculous. Why does this exist? Please nerf this, CA.

>>163379367
The VC units from grim and grave make them vastly more interesting to play. highly recommend....might want to see if it goes on sale next week if you're on the fence.

>>163379420
Looks inconsistent as hell. I'll keep an eye out for these tiny flows coming down into Kislev next time I play.

Remember how France was represented in Empire:TW as a single settlement? Say hello to Ulthuan in the new GC.

>>163379252
Yeah, I feel like they're just making quick knee jerk reactions to everything and rushing everything out the door. Like there's blatant mistakes that should have easily been caught like the problem with rangers last patch and then overnerfing/buffing things. I wish I could say that each expansion will massively overhaul parts of the game but I know all it will be is copypasted features and a slightly bigger but still way too cramped map. I really wish we could at least get a god damn map editor for battles and the campaign map but I know we'll never get it because this is GW were talking about here and I would not be at all surprised to see massive limitations in place for what the devs are allowed to do in exchange for the IP.

>>163379367
It only adds some shitty carts for them
Only empire gets decent additions

>>163379651
>France, Spain, Moscow, England, Sweden all single settlements
This would have been fine if campaigns had multiplayer, but this is TW and they never will be ever.

VC got the short end of the stick, which is probably why CA released vlad and blood knights at the same time for "free".

How can CA (or a modder if they don't) make Kemmler and Gelt not shit?

When a General dies in Rome 2 does their current household object die with them?

>>163380126

Blood Knights came first because they were demanded to be in the game when VC were announced.

>>163379058
maybe in the expansion im sure they know the complaining.
