Hey Faggots,
My name is macedon, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, retarded, no-alexanders who spend every second of their day looking at stupid ass total wars. You are everything heirofcarthage in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any DiplexHeatedHD? I mean, I guess it's fun making fun of people because of your own insecurities, but you all take a whole new my friends. This is even worse than jerking off to pictures on Rome II.
Don't be a friend. Just hit me with your best bow and arrow. I'm pretty much perfect. I was captain of the macedonian army, and starter on my roman legion. What total wars do you play, other than "jack off to naked drawn Greek people"? I also get straight A's in my total war studies, and a have a banging hot girlfriend (She just blew me; Shit was SO cash). You are all faggots who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for watching remember to rate and subscribe.

From the pastebin:

Rock paper scissors system means yari beats cavalry beats sword in general. Ex: Head to head, yari samurai will lose to katana samurai. However, many overlook the fact that yari samurai can also be a poorman's shock troop with their high charge bonus (raised even higher through rapid advance) and can support cavalry and catch missile troops. A good commander can negate the system.

Ashigaru are your bread and butter, don’t waste too much money on pure samurai armies to maximize cost effectiveness. Yari wall whenever in combat. Yari ashigaru outside of yari wall have the advantage on cavalry, but they cannot stun-lock and hold back infantry with their pikes if not in yari wall.

get a navy.

do it
then double it and stretch it out enough to completely blockade your own coasts so you don't lose 16K a turn to bombardment

also naval battles are fuuuuuun.

also also always have at least one unit of artillery to make them walk into your line infantry, and always try to get on a hill.

As the other anon said blockade your territory with ships because the AI loves to spam single gunboat bombardment fleets that just constantly fuck on your economy.

Early on spear levies are extremely good, a charge from them will often break line levy, once the AI starts using line infantry abandon them, they fight better in melee and can actually shoot worth a damn so your spear levy will get shredded on the charge then die in melee.

You'll want artillery in your army at all times if possible, artillery is OP as shit in FotS and the more of it you have the easier the game becomes. Webm slightly related as you can see a lot of AI spearmen and infantry just shattering on the approach as they get bombed to fuck, it also has a hilarious glitch where the artillery crewmen bugged out and thought they were a cannonball.

Slightly similar to this man, I'm starting my second ever campaign as the Hojo, but in base Shogun 2. I'm the guy who eventually got bodied by the Chokosabe in the last thread, and I received some very useful advice, at least in terms of maintaining economy. But I'm still somewhat confused. Should I be devoting different regions to different things, like recruitment, moneymaking, food creation, that kind of stuff? Or is it better to try to have a bit of everything? Also, how useful are samurai actually, compared to ashigaru?

always upgrade your farms, and for economy build sake dens and markets in every province. For recruitment find a province that has bonuses to things like armor or attack, and specialize it to recruit certain types of troops (example: building a smithing building to give +melee attack along with a jujutsu dojo to allow katana samurai recruited in that province to have huge melee attack levels)

Basically you use provinces with armor/charge bonuses to recruit if you have one, the other you just put a market, a whorehouse and a metsuke.
Katana samurai and bow samurai are good, so it hightier cavalry. For spears just use ashigaru with pikewall

>>165189926
you want one gun boat, or anything with 1000 range on its cannon like the kotetsu, then you park oustide of their range, set up your boats in a nice broadside, and start shotting. they either sit and get shot forever, or more likely, have to move into position to fire back, giving you 2-3 broadsides before they can move up and get in position. from there it is just focusing down the right targets, making sure your boats don't do anything stupid, and spamming fast reload.

if you are lucky, which you usually are, the AI will start to fuck up and jumble their ships up like in this webm, making it way easier to shoot unanswered at them, as well as just all in all making a more fun experience of trying to use the obstacles to your advantage.

>>165187225
I started playing total war with medieval 1 + viking invasion. I was one of the few who had the pleasure of playing rome 1 as a brand spanking new game and then seeing things like decisive battles and time commanders being put on air.

Rome total war just blew fucking everyone away at the time, enough for people to make TWO fucking TV shows based on the engine that made the game. How many fucking games result in TV shows being made from the tech that's used to make them? Educational, historical TV shows at that?

It was a fucking dramatic improvement for the series, for gaming in general even, it cemented CA's place in the industry for good. Total war is what CA became wildly famous for in the industry. It defined them, they proved themselves by dropping a fucking masterpiece on the world, it was ambitious as fuck and they didn't just hit the mark, they set the bar for any similar games to come in the future.

Friends who would come over to my house would love to watch me play RTW and provide strategic input. Instead of just fucking making them watch me play I'd let them basically make all or most of the strategic decisions while I actually used the controls and did my best to fight the battles. I'd let the observer play "emperor" if you will, and I was their general.

So many fucking good times with RTW, and it genuinely was groundbreaking for its time.

>>165191307

The spear variant is frankly good enough to use as mainline infantry.

They don't do significantly worse against unarmored infantry and do WAY better against armored and they can run down literally all other infantry in the game.

Oh I agree with you, I can't play it these days and I would genuinely rather play Rome 2. Rome 2 is more historically accurate, looks better and plays better in most ways. Only thing I'm still a bit bitter about not getting in Rome 2 is family trees but I guess it doesn't really make sense in a republic and the family factions system in Rome 1 was pretty dumb tbqh.

Rome 2 is a great game.

If you want to shot something heavily armored you can just use the Organ Gun or a Thunderer. And the bombs are just too weak for the price of the unit, it is even worse how utterly useless the bomber turns out after dropping the payload.

I'm fucking done with this campaign. Apparently some random guy was my faction leader and after he died my power dropped all the way to the bottom, giving -5 loyalty to every character. The game then chose some random guy to be the new high king, but he isn't on the family tree so I am unable to perform any political actions at all and have literally no influence. Its a shame because I had done so well in every other aspect by btfoing england and brettany but this fucking family tree is bugged and is dragging down the campaign. Now ofc idk what to play because I don't feel like playing as the danes again so soon but was having fun w/ AoC

They are rather costly yeah. But they are more flexible than Thunderers or Organ Guns. If you micro them heavily they can really shine.

I do agree on bombers turning useless after dropping their shit, I think giving the bombs as a skill with a cooldown rather than a limit would work better. Or atleast increase the amount of bombs and give it a cooldown of say, 10 ish seconds or so.

I have started a campaign as Archaon The Everchosen and it's turn 240... And I think I did something wrong. I destroyed Kislev and tried to make 4 tribes to unlock the slaneeshi lord (Didnt manage because fucking dwarves killed first one just before I made the fourth, also the rest soon started fighting themselves... does not matter now as all North is united under Sarl banner). How I am supposed to destroy the world as AI fucking recolonises everything almost instantly? I destroy one faction town after town (with three huge ass armies), and two others are already colonizing the ruins. I even had a vampire lord walking fucking toe to toe with my army to snatch ruins!

Also, lol on Tzeentch. He betrayed me and sent two full armies against me with his fucking bird of knowledge as a commander... And I was not in a position to defend myself (If I would, it would be blatant defeat) so I ran. I ran so much I ended up in Bretonnia (bird followed me pretty far, losing track when i got like 4 provinces distance between us)... And the bird got fucked up by forces of Empire, Kislev, Ostland, Nordland and everything else he met during his pursuit. They just ate him!

you can reawaken tribes if you don't mind going to war with sarl, but that is tedious, and at turn 240 I don't know if it matters.

Just make a deathstack of chosen and go after factions one at a time. if you can/want ally with the vampire counts because you don't have to beat them, you can use them to help you take down the empire.

honestly I'm just surprised the wood elves haven't done the job for you by turn 240.

Anyone else have this problem? The first 100 turns or so are fun but then you reach that stage where the AI factions that are left start churning out stack after stack. You KNOW you can still win because Total War AI is so infamously retarded but it becomes such a fucking grind and any fun is sapped out of the game.

For the record. I had to abondon 2 settlements conquered in north France because France send 2 stacks after me, as well as a Scottish stack.
In a fight the enemy morale is unbelievable. Surrounded by cavalry and superior infantry simple town militia do not break.

Well that was a bit disappointing. Instead of a hard slog through the streets of the most cosmopolitan city on earth they all stacked in the centre victory point.

I think victory points are a dumbass idea to begin with, and it's not even executed well. The places the victory points are in are in the least-defendable areas. They're not at hilltop temples, they're in plazas and open areas.

Horde infighting is kinda of a bitch, and you can't choose your battles like poopoo peepee boys, and you just have to grind everything down from top to bottom of the map. Essentially it's a series of unending sieges/field battles. And only empire fun to play against, so I always feel the sense of loss when I burn the last empire faction down. Also made my point of slaughtering elves in the last campaign, because they've destroyed the empire before I could reach them.

Cannot relate 2 be honest. Napoleon has always been very engaging for me, especially Darthmod since I can't be buggered for a more complicated installation.

The battles offer a lot of opportunities to break up your straight battle-line and place detachments where they can take advantage of the terrain. I love pushing big blocks of troops forward and seeing the carnage as two lines open fire on one another. Napoleon also handles huge battles very well, though I don't like the way reinforcements can trickle in one at a time.

Yes I do use 2x units. 40 unit armies maybe? Although that could easily overwhelm someone by the sheer number of things to click on. It may very well be the style of gunpowder battle you dislike.

Try to use all your different unit types. Light infantry are smaller units but have more range and can fire with the whole unit to represent their skirmishing power. Skirmishers themselves are awesome on the flanks and in woods. It's very rewarding to have them come out of hiding, fire on the enemy, and then retreat again when it looks like they'll be fired upon themselves. You really want to dominate the terrain and turn it against your enemy.

Well while Beastmen and Orcs are known to exist, Skaven are a ludicrous figment of a peasant's imagination.

The notion that an entire society of walking, talking, ratmen could exist in the sewers of the empire is the kind of idea that only a delusional commoner could come up with.

Dwarfs are extremely traditionalist. That's why they still look down upon thunderers because the technology is so 'new' instead of them simply using crossbows.

So, haven't really fought Welves much before. What am I in for? Auto-resolve seems to like me, but it always favours the Dawi
>>
>>165238969

40k is a skirmish game not fit for massed warfare, Dawn of War already exists as the ideal format for the universe
>>
>>165239086
What? There are always extremely massive battles happening in that universe.
Games focused on Space Marines just don't show it since they are usually small strike teams for very specific tasks.

The battles happening between the Guard and "regular" opponents are on a whole different scale.
But I agree that TW wouldn't fit with 40k for the same reason a WW1 or WW2 game wouldn't fit with it.
>>
>>165239204
There are large battles in universe but those just won't work in the Total War format or any game desu that is why most 40k games just stick with small skirmish battles.

Is there any way to gift territory in AoC? My best buddies in Valencia have been pulling their weight for the entire campaign and I spent twenty turns setting it up so they could capture Palma, and now I want to hand over Cartagena to give them the full province. I thought the easiest method would be to raze it and let them settle in their own time, but you can't raze in AoC at all apparently.

What are my options? Do I need to figure out some way to stack negative public order until a revolt captures it? That's going to take ages and fuck a lot of things up and i'll need to spare an army or two to defend the adjacent regions but as far as I can tell it's my only option.

Update on this, the battle was suprising difficult. This was my first time facing welves in battle ever, my god they are wrecking trains. Just the plain garrison of 8 units gave me 50% casulaties when I played it out. I simply can't win 1v1 against Durthus army that you saw, I was detroyed. Autoresolve was very in my favor and took minimal losses through it. I hate being a shitter, but replenshing losses as Chaos is tough as it is.

So is being empire just the fucking worst?

At least with dorfs I only have to defend one side of my territory.

Empire gets shit on the hardest by chaos and has the vampire counts just sitting in the south east waiting to attack your ass.

Then you get all the attention from the beastmen and chaos marauders.

This is suffering.

It would not be half bad if I did not have to re conquered the entire fucking empire all over again.

By the time I do that the empire is shitty and run down from all the in fighting and then Kislev just ignores my ass when I tell them to give military access.
>>
>>165241121
It honestly wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for Tree Hitler. The Empire tends to be able to deal with Sessionsists, Marienburg/Skull Munchers, Crooked Moon and then Vampire Cunts separately as long as you expand at a conservative rate. The problem is Tree Hitler comes to fuck your ass about the same time as you are finishing of VCs and Chaos starts showing up
>>
>>165241261
Have not even fought him.

He has moved up and taken all my northern territories that chaos shit on and I will have to fight him eventually.

Franz is trying to kill off the VCs because I left them alone this run to focus on making the empire strong for chaos.

I think the Chaos campaign is the only campaign in any TW game ever where you can just camp out in your starting location, never move or build anything and still win thanks to the massive hate boner the Woodelfs have for the Empire.

Why is that anyways, I don't think they interact much in the lore and they don't really compete for lands either.

Isn't Rome 2 campaign, playing as Rome, too easy? I think I only lost 1 battle and 1 settlement in 30 hours (max difficulty)

Also, why are campaign objectives so damn long? what's the point on playing when you have already 1/3 of the map
>>
>>165246663
yeah, I fogot what the building was called.
Probably will give it more melee damage.
Thanks for reminding me what the building actually did.

There's a mod on the workshop that adds rome 2 style armor upgrades to troops via smithy buildings if you want that. I don't want that person's work overshadowed by my own. It sucks when someone else does that to your mod bro.

Pretty sure he's referring to the fact that after a while literally every other faction on the map declares war on you no matter what you do.

>>
>>165247543
Is it cause he'd bad?
>>
>>165247916

I mean, every game is kinda ''basic''. But in max difficulty, you had to play against the clock (in Rome 2 there is not even time limit), could barely make allies and in late game every faction, including allies, declares war on you (which realistically made no sense) but it was a pain the ass

>>165248914

It does not matter if it is predictable. Once every faction turns against you, you will lose ALL control of the sea, all your ports get blocked, your income goes to shit and you don't know where the enemy is going to land.

They will eventually come to a part of territory where you have no armies at all, so you have you expend resources and move your armies from the front to retake the lost provinces. Also the enemy agents will be max lvl, so be prepared to not be able to move your armies or to see uprising

post current turn /twg/
>>
>>165239507
That's kind of bizzare. If you play as clan angrund or snarsnik you quickly realize the problem, which is that each WE faction makes about a stack and a half early game, then at about turn 13-15 the main Welves confederate the other 3 in about 5ish turns and suddenly have 6+ full stacks with really powerful lords and high-level units at like turn 20.

To top it all off, they're the only faction which properly makes high-tier units due to the 9 building slots. So come turn 100 they've demolished all of brettonia and field like 10 stacks full of forest dragons and wild riders. It's absolutely ridiculous.

I guess it's possible the beastmen could crush a wood elf army before turn 10 and stop them from confederating. The problem is there really aren't any threats early game, brettonia is a walk-over for them.

Just be happy you haven't had to face chaos 2.0 yet lol

they hid some Crysis level graphics in the game under the very high graphics. Normally that setting just default back to high but if you fuck with the file in some way and then make it read only so the game doesn't fix the modification it gets crazy fucking sexy

I dislike them because they are mostly mounted and mounted units die like flies in Attila. Swordsmen aren't very good either since if you have a sword general you're in Europe where axes are everywhere.

Aksum have the best, Ras Guard spearmen. They are my favorite general since they hold the line well and don't die super fuckin easy like other generals.

It's mechanics were really bad, especially compared to the later FotS release where they finally nailed the gun combat.

Also the game launched with a ton of bugs and the graphics were fairly poor compared to even older titles. I think it was the first time they were using their new engine which explains why.

Shogun 2 and its expansions felt like a very large leap forward in AI, graphics, game design, etc.

Empire did not feel like this, and in fact felt like it was regressing.
>>
>>165264887
Music was also very forgettable

Did Jeff work on that one?

The battles in Empire were... rough. It's not terrible, but coming off of Med 2 it was just, nyeugh. The campaign map is still my favorite in any Total War and it bums me out it was so ill received and we will never get another campaign map like it.

Then again Civ went back to local happiness and health so maybe

It was buggy as hell.
The AI is moronic.
Controls are cluncky.
Very poor gun combat actually.
Missing features like family trees, options after taking a settlement.
For the most part bad faction design. England has like a million unique units while other factions maybe have one. Mid-game Winged Hussars.
Bad campaign map.
Generally felt extremely soulless compared to prior or later games.
Minor point but the portraits look just retarded.
No visual progression through the ages unlike the previous title M2.

Still my most played TW game since I loved it as kid.

You did even have to wait for FotS. Napoopan already fixed all the issues Empire had.

>>165265151
No Jeff only came back fro Shogun.
Empire and Rome 2 had the same guy doing the music.

Why the fuck don't they just stick with Jeff? He's never not knocked it out of the park?

its extremely buggy and broken, which is a shame because it has great potential and some really neat features

Another new mod!
Smells much like Age of Charlemogne

Assuming you can stomach M2, then yes. It's pretty neat. Not quite Third Age levels of quality, but still pretty damn good.

It has some bugs, tends to crash. Might wait for an update

Playing original cow 1.5.1, sieges are quite buggy, but its ok if you prefer fighting on the battlefield

I think i'll stick with Total War: Warhammer. The Ogres look way way better.

Since Shogun 2 is the one that has your fancy, have you considered the Master of Strategy mod?

Or perhaps the Imjin War mod so you can get more conquest for your cavalry?
>>
>>165268727
Nah, just some Russian modders who love them some Warhammer.
