If you're here ancient empires guy, I'm done renovating the Berbers/Libyans/Garamantines/ectera that I offered to help with back in the summer. Did some tweaking that liberates them from having to use the R2 era full body with a single face and now can utilize multiple-faces. Some slight tweaks to design but kept ya'lls vision in mind. Went with darkened but caucasian bodies for the Mauri and Garamantines as the former I seem to recall Strabo or someone calling Western Aethiopians WE WUZ MAURI and for them and the gara I just imagine living in the ass-deep desert will burn you hard. I remember a story of my late pop back in the 50s or 60s not being let into his friend's house by friend's mum because she thought he was black due to his tan. He was white, just could tan something fierce.

Enlarged the really neat libyan cloak you guys did so it would fit on the barbar body (thinnest version) with that cock sheath sash too.

Example one is before (top) and after (bottom) for Garamantines.

if someone can find me a benis :DD model I think it'd be possible to add it to the models in a crude way


I do have to investigate them to make sure there isn't any missing parts or whatever. I'm trying to use it as a way to get back into the swing of modding since I went awol due to burnout sadness and other stuff. I will return to work on FOTE if I can keep this swing going.


trying to think of a way to allow you guys a quick drop-and-go replacement for the old lob_numidian_body (same face full body that works with exomis/spartan tunic) with a newer replacement. I think it's possible, just change the values in a VMD of the exomises and lob_numidian body to a newer multi-face model & enlarged exomis. That way you don't have to change every single unit VMD.

How can they make the next historical TW as interesting as Warhammer?

Yeah, I darkened the skin tones. Judging from the usual depictions they are swarthy, though they may have been darkened too much there. I can adjust it to a lighter hue somewhat but I figure living in the frontiers of the Sahara dressing half naked = you goin to get crispy.

How many meaningful differences can there really be between these factions, besides starting locations?

Besides notable factions like Saxons, Franks, and Goths, how much unique flavor can these all have?

I'll lighten it from that dark tone later then. The Maures http://europabarbarorum.heimstatt.net/pics/Info/african_infantry_maures_INFO.jpg are more difficult because the skin has to match perfectly from a separate leg and separate body/head texture. I will see if it's possible there. Might be if I just do a blanket lighten by X on either since both are the Axum textures on european faces.

I'll show the references I used for the berbers but the most reliable are a 2nd century Roman terracotta of a Numidian rider with what to me seems like a turban: http://i.imgur.com/dv2Dx39.jpg

And I forget the date but also roman era little bronze piece of a Numidian with ringlet hair, bushy beard and shield.

Top is before, bottom is after refreshing. Have to run for a bit.

And for the ai too?

>>163866387
Axes. The stats aren't as clear as other games, but axes will *always* have retardedly high AP damage. Slam them in to the sides and rear of heavy infantry and watch them melt; two handed axes are fucking lawnmowers.

You have cav superiority and infantry that can hang with the early game Roman infantry.
Simple, infantry to fix and flanking elements to destroy.

>>163867807
are you still drunk?

>>163867879
They're probably just getting shot, which is obviously a bad idea thanks to their 0 armour. Savage Orcs are all about getting in to melee as soon as physically possible and staying there thanks to their innate physical resistance of I want to say 20%.

Basically, if they aren't actively stabbing people you're doing something wrong.

ok legendary tanook advices here: run the fuck away from the middle east, getting sandwiched by sassies and the ere is terrifying, run through Africa to Iberia, make sure to research armoured camels and pikes early on, DONT RAZE EARLY GAME you need to constantly be on the move, merge and recruit, you don't have time to wait for replenishment, your cav has an incredibly strong charge but paper armour, under no circumstances can they be left under archery attack, also try to stack -morale effects and retinue it is so effective that its almost cheesy

>Is this real advice or shitposting
real advice
>What do you mean by 'stack'
human foot stool -10 morale province wide
one of the shock cav units (dont remember which one has the passive scary trait -5 morale
another desert raiders shout active ability - 5 morale

thats already a total of -20, and the province wide effects stack, so 3 generals each with the human foot stool reduce morale by fucking 30, its ridiculously unbalanced, to the point that I stopped using that even on legendary because the enemy army would be wavering at the very start of the battle
>Should I always sack or liberate occasionally to put some roadblocks in
liberating is fine it gives both a road block and a replenishment bonus, just don't raze until you have a solid stack that can beat two enemy stacks on its own

>>163871402

Mostly just curious, though I might not want to put my army in the hands of a confirmed bitch nigga.

Isn't it possible to mod Amber into a food mechanic for the Empire? Like it wouldn't need to be used to recruit units, but for constructing high tier buildings and upgrading towns. Essentially a slightly extended Shogun 2 food mechanic. Farms would provide growth and 1 or more "amber".

Would be neat if they could extend that even further and make E.G allying/trading with Averland(or controlling) important for the Empire since they provide a lot of food lorewise.

If you want a super powerful combat lord, go for Argwylon, Kholek Suneater, or one of the magic users.

It's all fairly balanced though, the difference between having a shitwrecker and a non-shitwrecker isn't much when you get into huge battles.

>>163876851
While clicking on a icon to build a building to provide food is not interesting on it's own it can be extended further I guess. It can give the map more strategically important areas.

What it could add to the player is more important

>>163878016
which is nothing because as we see in Attila, all it really leads to is mass starvation when 90% of the land suddenly becomes useless, which then leads to handicapping the player while the AI runs free and suffers no ill penalties

I would be fine with it if they found a better way of doing it, Shogun 2 IMO did it best, but it left room for improvement

Never played a horde before. Should I go for Ostrogoths or Visigoths?

Either way it's just a mod suggestion, not a suggestion for CA to patch in.

A empire can live a pretty safe life in a lot of the provinces.

Averland is known to be peaceful and "idyllic"(It has some cults though) and big greenskin invasions aren't actually common.

Wissenland and Reikland are both rather secure and rich. Same with the city of Middenheim.

It is quite possible to live as a normal human without experiencing the horrors of the Old World and beyond.

All mountains have greenskins, all forests have beastmen (or occasionally elves, which is worse). Every coast is threatened by the druchii, every city by the skaven.

And even if you can avoid all of that, just remember that Chaos invasions have made it to Altdorf before.

>>163886040
The Dawi are notable as one of the only factions with a stable net population growth thanks to how secure the few remaining holds are.

>>163886357
There wouldn't be an Empire if the threat was that large. Humans having the time to have small civil wars and petty disputes tells us that the threat isn't immediate as people like to think.

Big chaos invasions of super doom aren't actually common.

>>163886040

>>163886357
>all forests have beastmen


Averland doesn't have much forest or mountains. Reikland has forest, but the military power of the province is more than enough to deal with the small beastmen tribes. Wissenland and Talabecland is also very capable. They say the Grand Duchy of Talabecland are one of the provinces with the largest armies.

>>163887135
Averland has the most dangerous mountains in the entire Empire.

Is it just a gameplay decision that I can use dwarf highways literally anywhere or did they really build everywhere underground?

>>163887269
A small part of the province and the Empire is fully aware of the danger and the importance.

My point is that you can live a pretty decent life in the cities of the empire because only very large invasions are a threat to them. E.G The Reikland army can't protect every small village perfectly, but it can very easily defend the larger towns and cities from these orc and beastmen shitters in the mountains and forests.

>>163886357
>>163886692
It's also the fact that the Empire is extremely large. People always compare the Empire to the HRE but the Empire is actually much MUCH larger in population. Probably the equivalent of all of Medieval Europe. This is why even minor powers like Nordland or Ostland are significant, because they still have the numbers to hold for their own.

>>163887667
And my point is that every Empire citizen lives under a decently credible threat of violence, if only because their country is situated more northwards than Tilea or Araby.

I'm sure it's much worse in Kislev.

>>163887846
Exactly. When fucking Hochland has time to fight with one of it's vassals in the mountains, then it is pretty clear the local beastmen gang aren't able to burn down the capital at any moment.

>>163888058
Yeah, there is a threat, but the EVERYTHING IS SHIT YOU WILL DIE thing is kinda overblown.

The more scary and interesting part of Warhammer grimdark is the most rare threats. The ones that are not even on the mind of the average imperial citizen(and maybe even the higher ups).

If you're there as a commonor, you're basically a shit-eating serf, treated horribly and live a miserable and monotonous life of slaving for your lord, being drafted into your Lord's army and then dying in some miserable fashion because lords could give less of a shit about a peasant, much less give them proper arms and equipment. But at least you do it for the Lady.

Some (Like Vlad) sorta give a shit about their peasants (so he not only has loyalty, but also a steady food source), others view them simply as Gatorade™ Thirst Quenchers™.

Best life as an HE in Ulthuan, specifically Saphery.

Dwarfs respect some humans who have proven themselves worthy of respect, mostly Empire and Kislev soldiers.

HE see them as inferior to themselves but as an useful ally against Chaos, same goes for Lizardmen.

DE see them as slaves.

WE as as playthings and occasional allies.

Vampires aren't exactly a united front.

Beastmen see them as weak and incapable of truly grasping the nature of Chaos.

Daemons see them as playthings.

Ogres and Orcs see them as fun for the occasional scrap; no particularly hard feelings though.

Skaven see them as an obstacle on the road to world domination.

I thought Lizardmen hated everyone that isn't them, simply because of their quest to resurrect their ancient empire or something.

I don't think the lizardmen even have the capacity to hate. They function like an ant colony, they are pretty much mindless drones.

Unless you are Chaos or are attacking them/stealing their stuff, they couldn't care less about you.

Unless they added something in the later editions, I don't think they were ever about building an empire.
Their main objective is to counteract chaos at every turn, though their methods are a lot less hands-on than those of other races.

>>163895074
Their main goal is to rediscover and then carry out the Old One's plans for the world. Most of this is getting Chaos to fuck off.

so why'd they remove formations from Warhammer?

>>163896162

In vanilla shogun 2, the best way to defend a castle with gunners would be to have them on the wall with a line of spear levy in a wall right below them. even on single tier castles.

was especially great for Otomo. you're daimyo gets mad honor for all the heroic victories you have to pull off.
