People like to shit on Rome 2, but I still consider that Emperor's Edition with Divide et Impera is one of the finest Total War experience.

Turns out the fucking faction unlocker had some big weird update that messed all sorts of shit up trying to make everything weird and unique. Goddammit I just wanna play the smaller groups.

It isn't though. Those games had the option for minimal UI like the first games so they weren't as offensive. Half your screen is taken up by that ugly tablet interface.

Just bought Rome 2 on Steam sale. Should I get Rome 1 too? What about Shogun, Empire, or Attila?
>>163469820
It only gets an extra row of cards when you're controlling armies bigger than 20 units, something that the older games didn't have to deal with, unless you're playing on some potato resolution. If you're that triggered just untick the large armies box.
>>163469483
Hopefully never. Unless they included part of Korea and Okinawa. Honestly East Asia could be cool.
They would need to do stylized art and stuff though. That's pretty much 90 percent of the reason S2's looks hold up to some of the newer TWs.
>>163470018
You should play the game first
>>163470053
Or I could play a TW game not designed by monkeys that doesn't make unit cards take half of the screen.
>>163470018
Shogun 2 is great fun and fall of the samurai is too
>>163470068
Why does warhammer look so bad, like really empire looks better. everything looks so muddy.
I hope they update this in the next game.
>>163469581
>I also want them to use something like the TWW legendary lord system with "quest" battles in it
Please kill yourself.

I'll feel free to play 40 unit battles in any game that supports it but Rome 2 because it's a piece of shit.
>>163470270
Well, I just realized the quest battle thing would make little sense(considering the circumstances of the historical battles).
Having the legendary daimyos have more character is fine though.

Come on now. Empire textures are pretty bad. The faces have no emotion and so on.
>>163470068
Indeed, still think Shogun 2 has the best aesthetics among the newer TW games.
It's kinda shame we never got an Imjin War expansion for S2.
>>163470270
Oh come on, stop being such a pansy. LL system would translate just fine into a Shogun game.

>units cards with the same size as vanilla rome means the game is bad
Is this what autism looks like?
>>163470620
No it wouldn't fuck off. The last think Shogun needs is more magic ability bullshit.
One thing looks certain to me: with the amount of work CA put into the magic system, it's seems unprobable they will abandon the system in the next setting.
So what will this setting be, so it can at least emulate the Warhammer magic system?
>>163468393
Someone reshop this to be more accurate with units and all
>>163470834
It would and you know it.
Hopefully when CA does the next historic title they will use the LL system from WH.
>>163470954
This should become a pasta.
>>163470793
Unit cards didn't take half the fucking screen in Rome vanilla or otherwise. Minimal UI was a setting you could toggle.

F-Fine, I'll just g-go back to Attila and my Paradox games, then.
Is Age of Charlesman worth 3 buckaroos?
lay on me the dankest unit composition for Karl's new army
>>163470954
They stripped out the siege escalation, dynamic fire, unwalled settlement, and townsfolk mechanics from Attila to Warhammer. Even if you're memeing they'll probably reuse magic spells for things like Greek fire.
>>163470997
No it wouldn't it would be more pseudo RPG bullshit. At least there's already two good shogun games they can't retroactively shit up.
>>163471405

>>163471108
That's a perfectly adequate corporate mindset. Don't flush spent assets down the drain. I'd be very surprised if the next setting would be something that couldn't work with LL and magic.

>>163471653
what are the point of outriders gernade launchers. the only thing I can think of is that it looks cool as shit to leave fire at will on but send them into a melee charge because they shoot the grenades as they charge in and they go off right before the charge hits. Does this actually make the charge more effective though? is it a bigger morale shock, could I have them in with my regular cavalry to really hammer the anvil

Fuck you I just imagined a Fokker DVII charging in melee from abovebacka nd forth like a warhammer drake
>>163471889
All of that could really be applied to a historical title honestly, but you guys would just call it magic and bitch&moan anyway.
>Your general's true understanding of warfare let's him enhance or debuff units, wildly changing the course of battle!
Like some generals did, alexander and sometimes caesar for example.
>Tactical points are a limited, regenerating (with a cap per battle!) resource
Could very well be described as your messengers or other parts of the staff
>Different tactical skills can be unlocked as your general ranks up
How is a general learning more tricks and tactics with experience a "fantasy" thing again?
>Different schools of warfare, which favour and enhance specific playstyles
So finally we wouldn't have to play the same faction in only one way for the whole game? Truly terrible.

what's the point of hammerers? they're supposed to be the go-to for dealing with armoured enemies like black orcs but they die way too quickly
>>163474095
Yeah because in a real battle plan your general tells you what to do during battle completely. and every time you move you are given a single straight line order.
Its annoying and limiting
>>163474306
Total War has never been realistic, kid. Look elsewhere if that is what you're after.
>>163474306

Nope, probably the best modless experience in TW next to standard Shogun 2. There is a mod that gives modern infantry bayonets and makes them use spear animations when fighting which is kind of nice though
>>163475235
>>163475078

It's worse than Attila, Shogun 2
It's better than any other Total War game that aren't those 2

>>163483998
Gotta confederate
>>163481390
Best battles by far (except sieges, which are the worst in the series by far)
The campaign is weak too, but there's faction variety, which sort of makes up for it
Personally, I'm a sucker for Warhammer so I'd recommend it, but Attila is dirt cheap right now (less than a third of Warhammer's cost for the game + all DLC) so consider it too
Should be using my last two slots in my Empire army for Hellblasters or Handgunners if cost is not an issue?

What does this mean?
What attila DLC should I get?

It's as good as a total war game can get, but it suffers from faction 'samey-ness' if you will. big probability you'll get bored of the 'dude barbars lmao' setting an hour or two in

when Attila came out /twg/ actually hated it
funny right?
>>163484645
It doesn't hold your hand so people who have played total war games for a long time appreciate the increased challenge, it's Rome 2 done better
>>163484779
It's all pretty good, except the vikings. just get AoC for that.
So speaking of Attila, someone give me the lowdown on the Saxons; I've never played them. I don't know shit about the saxons, what makes the real life culture cool and interesting?
>>163484645
It's difficult to list what it does right because it consistently does everything right. It's the best entry in the series.
>Turn 26 of my Skarsnik campaign
>Wood Elves are all confederated
>They have the #1 Strength Rank
>They don't like me
>>163484838
Probably this one
The autoresolve in TWW is a bit funky so maybe it's not really comparable to other games, but there was about as enemy favoured as you can get the autoresolve bar
>>163484838
this is the only good one that I remember and still have a screenshot of
>>163484976
Just launch a sneakin group to burn the oak
>>163484779
the Sand Empires is excellent, all factions are fun as fuck, especially the Tanukhids. My favorite faction in that game.
>>163484645
It's okay, definitely not the best game. It fixed a lot of problems from Rome 2 like adding back a sensible family tree to tie the civil war mechanic into instead of the mess that was Rome 2's civil war system, AI was improved over the clusterfuck that was Rome 2, sieges were improved with no more instant siege assaults unless you built siege equipment, improved siege battles with dynamic fire you could use to spread to archer towers. Ultimately the campaign map still had retarded restrictions like the army limits, straits could not be blocked with ships because armies could pass straight through it anyways, bad design with some formations like defensive testudo being charged could cause it to reform the opposite direction. Also the tier unit system was a mess and poorly thought out and researching christianity made you magically unable to build aqueducts. I would still call it a better game than Warhammer.
>>163484852
Don't lie the reception was mildly positive.
>>163484852
I dont remember /twg/ hating it apart from the usual performance complaints
We had 24/7 campaign and S A X O N posting
>>163484876
Well, Saxons would split into two groups: One would stay in Germania, continue to practice paganism, and 4,000 Saxon men would have their blood shed at Verden thanks to Charlemagne.
The other group would sail to Britain, founding a few Saxon kingdoms like Essex, Sussex, and Wessex (East Saxons, South Saxons, and West Saxons respectively). Though at first it would be the Angles that were the more dominant force of Britain ("England" gets it name from the Angles/Engles, after all), Wessex would dominate in the end after pushing back the Danes/Vikings, founding the Kingdom of England. The Danes/Vikings would eventually return though, bringing England into the "North Sea Empire" under Cnut the Great, but Wessex would reclaim their home for a time before being permanently fucked by the Normans.
>>163484976
Just STAB them
>>163484852
Yeah, I remember that. But they mainly lambasted the setting and how it seemed too similar to Rome 2.
Besides, fans always hate on a new entry for a franchise until the next one comes out. Then they get suddenly think the previous entry somehow went from shit to the greatest thing ever.
Either way, Attila's on sale, so I might as well get it.
>>163485462
Most of the shitposting came from fanboys calling it "the best vanilla TW ever" despite it having a ton of problems at launch (even if it was much, much better than Rome 2 at launch). DLC actually did help flesh out the game and fix the balance on the campaign map. I remember Sassanids always dominating half the map because they had no opposition whatsoever.

Never played a TW game but would love to give them a shot. Huge fan of the WH universe but holy mother of fuck I am not spending $45 on a game I might not enjoy and shit that is a lot of DLC already, might as well just wait for the inevitable GOTY release. How is Rome 2?
>>163490363
It's shit check out Medieval 2 or Shogun 2 for an entry point into the series.
>>163490205
This was a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure there was only one way to the capture point and it was a ramp, so the AI blobbed all its forces trying to fight against the mighty testudo uphill, and I hid the swords and cav far enough way to just sandwich them and grind it out.
>>163490414
But Im a huge fan of Rome shit
>>163490363
Buy like two different total war games if you like both you like the series, if you hate one and like the other you are probably an average total war fan, if you hate both you probably hate total war.
Shogun 2 like anon said is a good place to start out, and then probably Rome or Med 2
>>163490363
>>163490795
Warhammer total war is the only option. Submit your money immediately.
>>163490890
But Ill have to grab the chaos pack because thats the only correct faction, and the blood and gore shit. Its just too much for me if I end up hating the series.

I find it very unlike that you'll hate it. Start with Attila or Shogun 2 if you want a good feel for the series as it stands now. Rome 2 is pretty rough but still pretty fun, just be aware that if you do medieval 2 or rome 1 they will feel extremely outdated.

IMPERIAL LEGIONARIES
The fucking Attila Roman turtle units were rough, especially for WRE since you get outclassed by super barbars.
>>163492001
what's the best roman unit in Attila anyway
>>163490969
Arguably Shogun 2 is the most polished and best first TW game. The setting and units are all pretty simple without feeling too casual. You want spear units? Build a spear dojo. You want archers? Build a bow dojo. The lack of variety between factions does make it a bit more boring but it's all very well balanced since it's tough for even CA to fuck up when all you have to do is balance swords/spear/halberd/bow with peasant/knight/horse instead of other TWs which are far more varied and more unbalanced with sword/spear/halberd/axe/falx/pikes/bow/javelin/slingshot.
Worst things to look out for are worthless ambushes and some buggy naval battles and retard AI siege battles
Is there any point to fighting any battles against the WE manually? You just lose way too much compared to what auto-resolve give you.

Play Wood Elves/Argwylon and don't even bother going over the mountains. Annihilate the Brettonnians, make friends with Irongrund and the dudes to the south, leave the Empire alone. You'll reach grand campaign victory about 5-10 turns before the three big Chaos doomstacks reach Altdorf.
Which brings me to another question: what faction are you playing?

>>163494502
I was playing empire and was about to unify all the states under Franz.
Is Wood Elves DLC worth it?
>>163494685
I think it was worth it, yeah. But if you want to play Empire, expand south (no longer west because lolWelfs) and make friends with all the dudes to the north and east. Let them take Chaos's massive spikey dick up the ass for you while you prepare three or four huge doomstacks. Try not to piss off the Vamps and avoid getting dragged into wars with them; it's one less problem you'll have to deal with after turn 100. If Welfs have trashed the Brettonnia factions but have left Brettonnia itself alive, either confederate them or blitz through and claim all the land for yourself. Keep huge garrisons and walls everywhere, Skaeling attacking from the sea is the most annoying thing in the world.
Friendly reminder to any new players that the AI will do whatever the fuck it wants.

Is cav supposed to be this miserable? I'm used to cavalry slaughtering anything they run into in Attila and Warhammer, but it seems that I can't let my cav stay too long in a light infantry mob (not even spears!) or else they'll get eaten. Is this normal, or am I just not a trve vnderstander?
>>163491731
I'd definitely recommend Attila. Great time period, great battle mechanics. Most of the time.
How many times have you cucked da world in TW, in which games and which factions?
Ive done it with Sainiggers in Shogun 1, Brits in Med 1 and Julii in Rome 1.
Got too lazy to do it with the later games. Once I know i can conquer the rest, I lose motivation.
So I'm sort of at a loss as to what I should be doing in my FotS campaign. So far I've just been turtling after taking the settlement belonging to the faction I was initially at war with - but I'm not sure what I should be researching towards or what I should be doing with my armies/what skills I should be picking for my agents

I cant say ill miss them too much in WH. That said, they better use that time to give more campaign level features. Its annoying pressing end turn with nothing to do beyond moving armies and agents.
Hopefully the amber mechanic is a sign that they will work more in that direction.
>>163498468

Skirmishers can be a bit more difficult to use in TWWH due to some extremely fast cav and flying units.

>>163500009
>tfw the AI can perfect micro those 5 units of skirmishers to fuck your cavalry
I gots me an idea for a mod /twg/, because I like the idea of the end-game stacks being zombies and vampires instead of Chosen.
Mannfred has taken over the Empire, and defeated the hordes of Chaos. The Empire and all the Elector Counts are replaced with Mannlet's faction and regional Vampire counts. Instead of Chaos as the final boss, Mannlet gradually federates with regional counts, and will naturally try to take over the rest of the world.
Empire holdouts will survive under Gelt in the Border Prince area, and Vlad will hold Drakenhof as the playable VC faction. Chaos will just be one stack under Sigvald.
Anyone else like this idea?
>>163500224
first fots siege def, any advice for me anons?
>>163499824
>OR play Ebdanians and have an entire army of skirmishers
Running around with stacks of their max-level skirmishers is some of the most fun I've had in Total War. No matter what, you get good angles with 3-4 of them that rack up 500 kills each by the end of the battle, although the enemy has usually melted by the time they reach your line anyway.
>>163500341
You'll be fine, it's very hard to take a fort in Shogun 2, you don't have to do much just let your troops shoot theirs and GG
>>163500242
Good luck getting that to work with current modding support.
>>163500341
should have had more spear levy
levy infantry is complete fucking garbage in melee
>>163500242
I kind of wish there was a Cataclysm mechanic that changed what the end game threat was.
One game its a chaos doom tide
Another game has Nagash come back and start empowering and confederating undead factions
Another is a Deamonic incursion.
Perhaps Skaven enacting their master plan and maybe another which creates a massive horde of orcs
I mean chaos can still have an invasion but perhaps not as strong as when it has its full cataclysmic event.
Basically it just changes when and where the end game stacks spawn and who the final boss ends up being
>>163500341
Put the expendable garrison troops at the bottom of the walls while your better troops shoot them from the top.
>>163484645
It's fine if you like a challenge.
The AI is more retarded than in TWWH however, and most factions feel and play very samey, so if you don't like wandering warbands of barbarians all over the place, then its not the game for you. Plus its kind of in an obscure and less popular time-period, so if you don't care about the dark ages, then its also not for you
>>163500341
Put ranged infantry on the walls to shoot at them.
If the enemy starts scaling the walls and it's clear you won't get to kill all of them before they hit the top, pull your ranged infantry back from the wall to shoot at the enemy as soon as they hit the top.
Keep melee infantry behind your ranged infantry so they can run forward if the enemy gets too many men across your walls. If necessary, tie down the enemy with the melee units and move your ranged infantry around to get good flanking fire off.
>>163500498
We already have a ton of startpos mods, I don't think it should be that difficult.
For a simple version 1, I need to change who owns what provinces, change 3 capitals, perhaps make a copy-paste of a vampire faction or two, change the leader of two factions, and alter confederation thresholds so that Mannlet gets his shit together (or alternatively just give Mannlet all of the Empire directly, but edit down the buildings to an absolute shit-tier level so it takes a long time for him to build up).
I can do all of that by looking at the code for existing mods that already work.
TWWH has made me fall in love in WHFB all over again.
Please convince me not to buy some Lizardmen...oops, i mean seraphon

All of my Warhammer campaigns fizzle out like this. I achieve a big intermediary goal, and then I see a long, tedious path to eventually hitting a win condition.
Might just garrison the fuck out of Eight Peaks and spend the rest of the campaign launching raids out of the western mountains. And most of my future campaigns will probably be focused and meme-y, like building a necromancer's paradise in Estalia with Kemmler and Gorst.

I mean yeah, the stormcast eternals are pretty fucking stupid, but the rest of the models and factions remain the same as they were. Plus the game is a lot friendlier to new players.
You don't have to dish out $400+ to start playing, and theres not a fucking 200 page manual to memorize, and thats the main thing that prevented my friends from playing
>>163502336
I mean you're right, they could've just simplified the rules some for new players, but its not like you can't play WHFB anymore, the books and manuals and models are all still out there to buy, the game didn't go anywhere, its just not supported
>>163502134
1. Sit in forest and then end turn.
2. repeat 1.
>>163501632
This happens every time I play. I just camp out until I can recruit the best units and then because the AI is retarded just steamroll everything and I'm stuck doing all these garbage siege battles. I just can't do aggressive games not because its too hard but because losing units bothers me.
>>163502134
>>163502537
But seriously
1. Fight chaos.
Destroy norsca and focus only on archaon
2. Theme your armies elf only tree only... etc.
3. War of the beard 2. only focus on dwarves
4. Only take over provinces that have forest.
How does the 40 unit saves work in Darthmod Empire?
Can the Ai even handle 40 unit battles?
>>163501632
I honestly prefer to blitz eight peaks at the cost of the western mountains.
REMOVE TREE NIGGERSI honestly didn't know I couldn't occupy elf land. I wouldn't have declared war had I known. Guess I'll make peace and go fuck with the stunties some more.

Years to develop their doctrine and competition with the Ulricans. The Ulricans are the shaggy barbarians, so I imagine true Sigmarites started shaving to A) distance themselves from them and B) not get their hair pulled in close quarters
brits, french, or muricans in fots? I just got a british military mission pop-up so I assume I will be making a choice soon
>>163504936
This is going into the book!
>>163505209
you only have two chances to make mission so if you don't pick the brits you have to pick the next ones.
if i recall correctly muricans give you bonuses to melee, french to rifle accuracy and brits to artillery accuracy. Brits give you the strongest ironclad in the game that can take on entire navies by itself, while the muricans and french give you two, the murican one is better at longer ranges, but the french one is no slouch and can ram.
I personally prefer the brits, so i'd take em. but their iron clad is really expensive.
>>163505209
Never go Muricans unless you want to RP it out as having them help your growing republic.
>>163505389
>>163505436

>>163506479
Attila.

>>163506587
>>163506667
So they haven't really fixed Rome 2 since the shitstorm at release?
>>163506762
They have.
It's great. It's just, Attila is better as a game. The Rome setting is a shitload better though.
>>163506762
Rome 2 is fixed, mostly. However, it is still boring as fuck, which is a shame because I like Antiquity.
I also like Late Antiquity, so Attila has me covered there.

I'm currently playing semi-roleplay campaign as WE. I allied with Empire and Brettonia (Bordelaux, beacause Leon bit it on turn 20 or so). I try not to expand THAT much. I got some bretonnian territories when i confederated with other WE subfactions, and got all of the Estalia because they declared war on me and have a lot of ports. If i go to war with other factions, i ususally just raze their shit to the ground, instead of occupuing it.
Eventually i allied with Dwarves, who basically completely steamrolled all of Badlands, and we together (WE, Bretonnia, Dwarves, Border Princes) decided to end Vampire shits once and for all. Once that was done, Chaos invasion was already on the way (i play with SFO, so they are no joke). i took some old Kislev territories and act as a bulwark against Chaos, trying to slow them down as much as possible.
Basically, i'm playing WE kinda as HE - world police.
>>163507696
>Knock out Aksum early on
>Proceed to take over Egypt from ERE (Gold mines)

Absolutely deserving, they're really damn cool but fucking backstabbing shits with machines that mostly kill more of their own guys because of exploding instead of working properly.
Still a really awesome race and enemy of everyone (especially themselves) so waging war against everything on the map makes absolute sense with Skaven!

>>163509241

>>163509342
>25% base game
>>163509191
That would be demoralizing as hell having the enemy army ringing a fuckhuge bell while the one who sits on it screams scripture at anyone who can hear.
I'm surprised something like that wasn't used more in real life. I mean there's drummers and all but a bell is a haunting sound, especially when a lot of people are about to die.
>>163509241
The 25% is fine given how new the game is, but not having the DLC up for 25% at least is really disappointing.
They could be waiting for the Old World edition™ before they do any DLC sales.
>>163509342
This really breaks my morale.

All of Sega's shitty genesis games are on sale for the 100th time this year clogging at least 3 pages in the specials library.
But I'm not surprised I guess. This sale seems worse than the summer one. But maybe that's because I blew my load on the summer one and cleaned out my wishlist and the only thing left is one game that hasn't come out yet.Pit People
Are the Vikangs/Slavs/Longbeards worth it in Attila?

Vikings, no. Slavs are unique enough. Longbeards are alright. Empires of Sand will always be the best culture pack.
>>163510175
>tfw Ragnar will be killed off soon
>>163509923
It seems more like it is GW that is deciding if DLC goes on sale or not. Slavs for Attila was released this year, and that was pretty quickly pushed toward 75%. We could say it's because Warhammer came out, but I remember the other culture packs for Attila hitting 75% quickly, even when Warhammer was nowhere near.
I obviously don't expect to see anything for 75% off for Warhammer (probably won't see any Old World DLC hit 75% until next Christmas), but none of the DLC having a sale? Not even Chaos Warriors or the blood pack? That feels like a GW jewing than a Sega jewing.

>>163510531
desu i think it has more to do with how well it's selling.
I don't think Atilla/Rome II DLC ever sold all that well, but if the Warhammer DLC is selling great even without sales Sega might not feel a need to further push people towards a purchase.
It's like how big normie games like Blizzard titles or Call of Duty basically don't ever go on sale.

Wood elves will declare war on you but you can nearly always get a peace treaty out of them after destroying 1-2 of their armies.
They'll declare war on you again 10 turns later, but hey it buys you some time.
Is there any chance that later they will give as a 25% on the DLCs during the sale?

Skaven won't be pre-order DLC because then Skaven count as a DLC race. CA will not make DLC for DLC, so making Skaven a DLC race would mean that they wouldn't get to make "Skaven vs Lizardmen" pack, a "Skaven vs Greenskin" pack, a "Skaven vs Dwarfs" pack and more.

Unique, powerful spell that doesn't consume Winds when used, access to all the spells in short order with no filler, a powerful aura that makes Black Orcs tough as shit to kill.
Just great all around.

>kill every unit in the game except Manlet
>lose to ironbreakers
Also all regiments of renown get max chevron by deafult, тyпoe ты yёбищe. And you suggest using two units of chosen that cost 1400 each against one ironbreaker that cost 1500? The only reason they fucking lose is because of those charges. Which is fair game in a unit vs unit scenario, because in a real battle you'd bait the charges out with your hero or cav. Or just send two more units of Chosen for the fuck of it блять.
>>163515046
Unit experience doesn't matter, since we've seen that Chosen handily shit all over the Peak Gate Guard. It's purely down to the blasting charges. BattleAnon should try again without them involved and see if the unit size has much of an impact on performance.
>>163515302
yeah they wear impenetrable gromril armour, only thing that bypasses it is warpfire throwers or poison wind which is hwy Skaven developed those weapons. Their armour probably wouldn't even get dinted by a cannonball.
>>163515342
Guess we'll see when RoRs come out for Chaos.
>>163515451

They also leave their clans and loved ones to defend the underway till death.
They're not exactly concerned with appearance.

because in a real battle ironbreakers would have their fire at will turned off

Nothing about no FLC for DLC though, it's a price thing not a dev thing. We've already had aspiring champions, horsemasters and manticores. I suspect the divided units for WoC come out with expac 2 but the cockatrice, mutalith and gorebeast as well as the warshrine will probably make it in an FLC with RoRs.

Did you hear Karl Franz doesn't have his name on his sword because he can't read?
>>163515806
I don't think they'll be a Horde faction due to the fact they have some pretty big cities. My guess is it'll be the same like the WElves that they can settle anywhere, or atleast have their own settlements underneath the ground.
Are you ready for the best mod to date?
Any good unit pack for the empire?
>>163515806
My initial speculation was that they'd have one super-city in Skavenblight and operate as a pseudo-horde in all other regards. After seeing the ten slot provinces given to the Wood Elves i'm fairly sure Skaven are going to get something similar.
>>163516037
I was ready 60 days ago, thank you.
>>163515806
>horde skaven meme
>again
Use your fucking brain. Skavenblight is an impassable province=athel loren was impassable. CA said Skaven will play into the dwarfholds areas.Therefore Skaven will occupy settlements and have their own unique places AND dwarfholds. Probably when they take Human settlements they'll turn into what looks like ruins with bells (like skavenblight currently does) whereas dwarf holds will get a skaven makeover. Can also forsee some kind of amber=warpstone system tied into their research or buildings encouraging you to take warpstone rich areas.

First 7 points into blue tree for lightning strikes. First half of that tree sucks, so just put points into whatever you want. LS is a must have for Empire.
Then put points into his yellow tree for charge bonus, health, melee defense and weapon strength.
By level 13 save your points and at 15 spend all 3 on getting Deathclaw. Everything after that is up to you.
>>163520227

>>163520286
Is he? Haven't actually played Empire in months but I remember giving him the horse tanked his melee attack and defense and made him much easier to kill if he got stuck in melee.
>>163520401
They make him slightly more vulnerable, but unless you're really, really bad that fact will hardly ever be relevant and the improved mobility is more than worth it.

Not really, usually the pikes slid off the shield boss and would slash hence the leaf shaped blade. Impaling generally happened to cavalry more often or when the two lines had met and starting thrusting.

>He doesn't know the french revolutions are one of the darkest era of France history that is rarely threaded upon due to national shame because the french nation got lied to blatantly and they took bait, line and sinker
Basically, the peasant got goaded into rebelling against the royalty by scummy fuckers with the lie that the royalty was living the life and eating as they saw fit while the rest of the nation starved ( the first revolution happened during a time of great famine), so the dumb populace raided the royals en masses just to discover that they were just as starved as the populace they reigned upon, sadly by the time most peoples understood it was all a loads of bollock pushed by a few noble scum the majority of the nobility (don't believe the myth that all nobles were scum, irl the grand majority of them were man of sciences and knowledge and discoverer of countless scientific discoveries, creating the foundation for modern science, alas many of them died during the revolution) already had their head rolling down the market square with the revolution leaders electing themselves de facto the new leader of the kingdom, without surprise starting to act like dictators within mere moment and killing opponent/dissidents left and right. Lets say that it didn't last long before the second revolution came up and the peasant gave the leaders of this false revolution (T'was merely a power grab by power thirsty nobles, you'd be surpised how many of them joined the revolutionaries who were supposedly against them!) the very same treatment they had given the royalty a few years prior.
