both are good in their own regards but I have more fun in Rome 2 because I prefer the time period and there's fewer barbarian factions in the game. Attila has better battles, sieges and campaign maps but I cannot fucking stand the playable factions.

Age of Charlemagne is another story. It's way more fun than basic Attila and Rome 2, imo. Cooler factions, more interesting period, more interesting campaign mechanics, etc.

I had this idea of playing Rome 2 and recreating the Roman Empire, how fun is it?

Haven't played Shogun 2 in a long, long while, would you still recomand it? Also how are the DLC, never played them.

Attila I played but didn't like it, any way to make it more fun?

I know absolutely nothing of the new game, the one with vampires...etc Anyone could give a roundup of the game?

Happy new year by the way.

Attila. I understand Rome 2's appeal since it is more about building an Empire and there is more to it than Romans and Germans, but I honestly cannot stand the gameplay of Rome 2 and quickly grow bored of it, despite my love for the period. Thankfully, I also love the late antiquity period, so Attila is near perfect for me.

I hate Vlad.

Now that Vlad is in the game, everyone always mocks Mannfred by calling him "Mannlet" and even making mods to replace Mannfred as faction leader!

I think CA should remove Vlad von Carstein from the game.

Is darth mod worth it for shogun 2?

I'm playing it but I can't tell if it makes the game better or worse

>>164224463

I love how Thorgrim's VA hams it up

>>164227082
I don't think Shogun 2 needs any major mods, ymmv.

I feel like Mannlet can solo the entire early game by himself. Does he stay this strong late game?

>>164225643

Honestly it feel like Dumb and Dumber are actually Khorne percieved by the ork and goblins respectively, probably starting in the earliest day of the orks as a direct worship of the chaos god which transformed into a polytheism when orcs and goblins started to be defined as separate being of their own. Also it could have been accentuated by the reality manipulation power of the greenskins (I think its the same orks than in the warhammer 40k universe as far as I know, are they? please correct me if im wrong) so they became actual divinities of their own?

The horned rat is definitely Nurgle from start to end, the entire culture of infectious miasma that surround the Skaven sound far too close to home for papa Nurgle and if they aren't ruled directly by the old god, maybe a greater daemon of the guy?

For Hashut I have no idea, could be an ancestor that is worshiped in a way similar to how the dwarf seek to avenge the grudge of their ancestor/book of grudge? Or the way those Dawi run things it could be either Tzeentch due to all the planning that goes into running their little Babylonian empire or Slaanesh due to depravity and decadence of the entire civilization since its start.

>>164227729
Not to really stomp on your post, but none of that is really more than personal headcanon.

Gork and Mork are explicitly the Greenskin's own gods, if they were in any way related to Chaos then the Greenskins would just be another chaos faction. The reality-bending power also doesn't apply to fantasy orcs, except that their shamans are more empowered by the force of a Waagh.

Horned Rat is also his own being, belonging to the Skaven, but fits into a niche between Nurgle and Tzeentch for both disease and ambitious scheming.

Hashut and the Horned Rat are actually leftovers from a time when Chaos was a lot more ambiguous and there was room for more entities than the current four corners of emotion. They already had factions attached to them, so they weren't just left by the wayside like Malal was.

Sheeeet some RTS games have more complex meta than TW at this point. Campaign management in TW is virtually nonexistent. There are no granular aspects to it to speak of. Which is why I couldn't even finish a campaign in TWW, it's so fucking boring. By a certain point the battles aren't enough to keep me interested, especially since the AI shits the bed on campaign and my autoresolve is usually 99% most of the time.

If this is the future of TW then I'm out.

Oh man Wurrzag is a ton of fun once you get the baleful mask.

Warhammer should be your first game, it's a nice intro to the series. Even paced battles and there's not a ton of shit going on in your face that you have to micromanage. The first 20 turns will be frustrating as fuck, but after about 3 days of playing the game you'll have a good understanding of what you need to do.

Shogun 2 has fast battles and the food mechanic. Great choice if you like clicking.

Med 2 was way too much for me, I'm not nearly good enough to manage everything that goes on in that game. I wouldn't recommend that as a starter.

But aren't greenskins what we could call the closest to actual, genuine chaos? Maybe Gork and Mork are the original chaos gods or part of the pantheon and got shafted by the others gods because they were too much of a fucking bother and they never wanted to take part into their plans beyond fucking shit up in their own backyard, ironically they were too chaotic for chaos. Also if you take Khorne modus operandi you get something that is quite close to how orks behave in general.

Or maybe we are wasting our time because the Warhammer lore is like the Warcraft lore in how it get retconned and changed countless times over the decades, ending with a clusterfuck of cliffhangers, unresolved questions and general confusion at what was the fucking point of the entire thing.

They get absolutely slaughtered the second the charge is over.

Skulkers have Armor Piercing. I honestly don't know how, but attacking both sides of the settlement worked wonders. 2 Skulker units and a Goblin Spear unit took out 3 Quarrelers and 2 Axe infantry. Also helps that they were almost suffering attrition at that point, I just starved them out, won the battle, sacked the city, then razed it next turn.

>>164244776
gotta go for Karak Eight Peaks in the early game when your spider wastes everything. Slash and burn your way across the Border Princes and Badlands and you should have a 20 unit army+WAAGH by the time you get there.

>>164244776
the spider you start with auto wins every battle
skulkers are for flanking, so you throw gobbos at them, then attack from the side or back with the skulkers. they get a huge bonus when they are winning in combat, so either you win hard or lose hard

>>164244776

>>164248774

Raid your own regions to get early waaaghs. It generates waaagh points for the army by raiding then more waaagh points by defeating the rebel army that spawns. Obviously wanna recruit orc boyz or gobbos every turn til you hit 17 soldiers before the rebel army spawns so you can get the instant waaagh. After that I would say to go straight to karaz a karak since it has a nice building in it and it takes out an annoying confederating powerhouse.

>>164249257
Napoleon or rome1/med2

>>164249640
Because they're fast as shit and have shields. They have an extremely obvious use if you come in to it with a tabletop mentality. I mean, fuck. Goblin Spearmen get silver shields. They block projectiles more effectively than Dwarf Warriors do.

>>164218653
rolling

>>164249914
But even archers will fight them off, what can they ever do.

>>164250081
But that's the point. Speed means a more significant impact on the charge, they don't need huge melee stats. They can just slam in to the sides or rear of any enemy unit and disrupt the entire formation.

>>164250081
Hunt artillery
chase down routing units very quickly
Rear charge things that are already engaged, mostly for the morale hit

They have their niche because other greenskin cavalry is really slow despite hitting much harder

>>164242834

>>164249914
I wish the spiders were actually useful. They're too slow to do what wolf riders do, don't do enough damage to replace boar boyz, and then there's squigs which I haven't played with yet since the patch where the best greenskin stack was just mass squig spam.

shogun2/FOTS
Shogun 2 is best vanilla total war, a bunch of small clans become several larger powerful ones, combat is very fast and harder than FOTS "have 4 armstrong and win" brilliant tactics . Realm Divide makes the mid-late game pretty crazy, yet kind of tedious at sea.

FOTS crippling problem is that AI doesn't make much artillery, so it pretty much kills any fun in the game, while you can still fuck up in Shogun. AI in Shogun 2 is a lot better overall.

>>164251141
When they perform enough violent actions they generate an AI controlled stack that you can give vague orders. Completely free and 100% disposable, it's neat.

>>164249254
Not when you only have one army. Basically this is how my campaign is right now
>Beat the shit out of the Red Fangz and had them confederate with me by turn 2
>Karak Azul immediately came to fight me since we then shared a border
>Beat the shit out of them with Grimgor
>Am now only on turn 13 but most of my provinces are a turn or two from rebellion
>Grimgor and his WAAGH are in dorf territory and can't really back up and of my settlements
I'm also expecting Thorgrim to show up soon. He was the reason I lost in my other two campaigns. Really the problem I have is the dorfs are too high in number. I can manage one army, but honestly they are just too OP early game for it to be winnable if you're fighting two stacks. One stack sometimes depending on the map is a bit much.

>>164251187

Sister leaves tomorrow, so I opted to go out yesterday and stay at home today. Also

god I wish that warhammer has the duel type animations instead of this 'freestyle' type you have in M2. It just looks so underwhelming when you zoom a fight between swordsmen and goblins and it's just a bunch of ballerina dancing

this, it's fun paying attention to a single soldier and seeing what they get up to.

Webm related, it's the general himself who is the only man that was left in his garrison

>>164257309
It also really suck when you zoom in on combat and all you're seeing is just units shuffling back and forth looking for someone who wants to start an animation with them

They could've improved the system instead of taking the lazy as fuck way out and scrapping it completely.

Fucking rorarii are levy spears tier garbage and doubly so against javelin crazy iberians. I know the ai doesn't build armies to counter strengths of who they're fighting, but something better than 1 hastati and a bunch of leves shouldn't be hard.

fuck off normie

Why are rorarii so bad?
