Ask a question that people can actually have some way of answering other than literally saying nothing, like I did.

>I'm having difficulty staying motivated in my VC campaign due to rebellions. Is there anything to look forward to in the late game that I might have missed? Any interesting VC army compositions to try out?

I know the warhammer mod had a custom document with all the horde scripts. You just have to look around.

Reminder that Games Workshop nuked the Warhammer setting, with it's rich and extensive lore, to create a new one where:

>Nagash thinks Mannfred is his greatest servant
>Malekith is a hermaphroditic dragon
>Sigmar is fucking half of Slaanesh's sundered soul
>Dwarves are getting high on the golden remnants of their god
>Archaon's plot armor is even thicker

I know why the Orcs are so boring to play now. Listen to their units voice lines. They sound fucking bored and like they don't want to be there. Listen to Empire or Dwarfs, the voice acting is fucking superb.

Warhammer infuriates me so much

> Stupid chaos, varg and skaeling calling me "asinine mortal" and "your demise is certain" 200 hundred times a day makes me ultra furious
> Retarded chaos, varg shitskins (shitsking in the north? wtf), and sgaylings running around like faggots
> Battle is stupid marauders and faggy dogs in the flanks waiting to fuck my immobile empire formation if my steam tanks are not able to take them out on time they meet my line
> Warhammer lore is so freaking stupid. I bought the game expecting a warhammer 40k but this game is really all about Rome 1 barbarian invasion where stupid nomad people fucks up battles and campaign map where you chase like a faggy asshole 200 turns while they raze and pillage your cities
> There's more: How come varg and sgayling are all jocks with huge thighs and muscles while the normal humans are skinny and weak? Are the women in the north fat spartans that gave birth to huge ass babies? Or they made a pact with chaos so they could be roided up without going to the gym?


I'm winning with the empire while raizing all of these asshole nomad shitskin fags and going to desinstall this piece of shit game full of chasing and retarded corruption everywhere making you camp every ONE turn so you are dont lose your whole stack.

Going to buy shogun 2 and be happy with a decent game.

Games Workshop is a very strangely run company. It's almost like they don't want to be known for anything besides the miniatures. Why didn't they get anybody to make a Warhammer Fantasy computer RPG? Or even 40k. Warhammer Fantasy is way more interesting than D&D universe, which got literal dozens of quality games.

>>165979316
Very wrong impression of fantasy.
There are a lot of parallels between the two but they manage to be fairly different.

Main human faction is just plain old HRE. They might have some leaders that would want to purge all other races but they're stuck busy getting attacked from all sides and internally forever.

Norscans are your typical cowardly worthless vikings. But some of them grows some courage and wanders up into the Chaos Wastes to become a not-Chaos Space Marine.
Chaos is filled out with warm bodies by the not mongols.

Russia-Poland is the same nation and serve as being the early warning system for the Empire, they have somebody on lookout to listen for the screams of the Tsarina as she gets gangbanged by Chaos.

Bretonnia is Arthurian Legend in a farce of feudal france. They don't get up to much as a united nation, sometimes they Crusade but it's more individual lords leading individual quests.

Those are the main(actually have army books) three.

A bit further south you have not-Italy, not-Spain and not-miscellaneous southern Europeans. And further south still you have not-Arabians.
None of these do anything too interesting.

>>165979316
Empire: HRE, strongest human faction and for the most part the good guys, gets caught up in shady politics and can suffer from weak leaders

Brets: French knights mixed with British plebs and Arthurian legend-based religion

Kislev: Russian empire, polish commonwealth mixed constantly getting trashed by chaos

Estallia: conquistadors with no real writing to them, not Spain at all

Tileans: main source of mercenaries and bankers, totally not based on Renaissance Italy

Border Princes: A bunch of rouges and refugees who had to leave better nations

No one else is really worth anything

So it's on the same timeline as 40k?

>>165980956
>>>/gsg/

>>165980956
He's got a point though. Older games didn't really have too much to manage on the map Empire/Napoopan, S2, R2, R1, M2 really don't have that much going on and the learning curve doesn't offer you much once you get past it.

Atilla had corruption and squalor which were just player fuck-you's and the family tree was just hot garbage when in S2 it worked fine without all the needless save-scum worthy action spamming.

Then when it came to the battles they were such a balance joke with bland everything that everyone went back to R2 and Attila failed.

>>165980108
It's all semantics. It's germans that are inherently evil no matter what name you decide you brand them with. Was it nazis that started ww1? The root of all the world's problems is german.

>>165981361
They last a bit longer than that, and it isn't too bad. Quicker than Shogun 2 and Shogun 2 is still great.

I also don't mind the sieges much. But that's more of the fact that I just have hated playing sieges because autoresolve is so much better. With broken autoresolve I don't care for siege battles. So I simply don't see the awful WH siege battles.
The only siege battles I've liked were S2. Though Attila's looked and functioned spectacularly, autoresolve was still the way to go to avoid an additional 25% casualties minimum from the machine gun towers.

Not the lad you're talking to by the way.

>>165981582
It's specifically out of time. Their parallels match up with races and references and shit, but whether or not the planet is in the 40k setting or not is left ambiguous.

What I'm describing with the Warriors of Chaos in Fantasy is that there are two gates the to warp at the north and south poles of the world. The winds of magic blow out of these. And some lads go up north(south is pretty unviable), obtain the blessings of their gods and come back south pretty much sewn into heavy armor to fuck with normies.

The krauts did nothing most other peoples haven't attempted throughout history, they just happened to be the most recent ones when technology was able to facilitate killing and destruction on such a large scale.

Do you realize what someone like Genghis or Kublai Khan would've done with a 20th century army? They did the scorched earth and extermination tactics with muscle power almost better then the Krauts with machineguns, tanks, artillery and air support could.

No, last 3 campaigns I've played since Welfs came out they got spanked really fucking hard by the Greenskins. As in by the time the Chaos invasion began Grimgor always had 20+ settlements and Dwarfs were stuck in Eight Peaks.

If Greenskins start confederacy blobbing early it's usually ggnore for the stunties. Because right after that they just start shitting out Waaaghs from their multitude of confederated army stacks.

DO NOT INSULT NAGASH, HE WAS STRONG!

>>165996531
I'm okay with some factions being stronger against most others, it's the lack of build diversity.

The three things they need to do are readdress magic and abilities first, none of the arrow or runesmith spam then.

Introduce the M2 era unit duplicate prices.

And as a whole the quick match system is fucked with race selection. Variation within roster should allow for different matchups.
Enter into quickmatch, pick a faction, get selected against somebody else. No faction swaps, just build your faction against theirs.

I want to multiplayer and I don't want to metagame, but I want to lose less.
It's why I don't play MP very often.

I'd like to see diplomacy play a bigger role, and I'd be interested in stealing CK2's system wherein a war has a specific objective, and once that's achieved the AI usually negotiates a peace with you.
Oddly, I felt like the Empire's politics in Warhammer weren't bad the first time I played it. I had to dance around and way my options as far as pissing off other Elector Counts who I'd rather have as allies/vassals, while still pursuing my own goals. Electors getting pissy that your soldiers marched through their territory in pursuit of Beastmen seemed really fun and in-character with the universe.
Anyway, I wouldn't want complex diplomacy for all settings. Obviously, Warhammer should reward you for going berserk all the time.
But stuff like the Pope in Medieval was fun, and I'd like to see there be some grand campaign scenarios where just surviving/stabilizing the realm was your goal.

Should I play as Baktria or Colchis?

First time playing Shogun 2, ever. (Had a shitty comp when it first came out)

Coming from a lot of original Rome, it's hard to transition, tactically.

Hammer and Anvil doesn't seem to work with this engine, Cavalry are incredibly weak due to the huge prevalence of spear troops, only useful for disrupting archer lines.

Just got a realm divide at 21 provinces in the year 1570, (doing the 40 province game), have all of Shikoku and Kyushu, and a lot of southern Honshu, not close to the capitol yet though. Did I rush it too much? Had to halt my advance for like 4 years to de-Christianize Kyushu.

I'm just trying to do something more than mass infantry and archers.

>>166002374

I'm just fuckin wtih ya, but yeah, the prevalence of yari troops and the small unit size of and armour of cavalry make them almost useless for hammering. Really only good for archer breaking and hunting fleeing enemies.

>>166002157
Yari cav are pretty fucking spicy on the charge desu, light cav are only good for archer hunting though yeah.

Think of katana cav as dragoons and only really use their horses for getting around quickly, then dismount and charge, they wont get raped in extended combat by spears then. Also works great for taking out gates in sieges by riding up to them dismounting and torching them before your main force gets to them.

Make sure you have a religious building and use priests to get rid of that 'religious differences' penalty.

Don't outstretch your food supply. Build goat farms if you have poor fertility, use fishing docks, trade depots and granary to suppliment.

Also dont be afraid of rebellions. Leave a General with a good unit, and then raise a few mercenaries for a turn and stomp them out when they happen.

Use politics for easy public order bonuses.

Bone carver for quick money.

>>166007028
I don't disagree. I like some of the shit he says (about spears for examples or the swords in the back), but that ain't really history and I always take it with a grain of salt. The video about the katana is also funny, but man, the one about the MG really fucked everything up.

>>166007096
For example:

>Yes, very obviously there were more factors than bren guns that explain the advance of the Allies in in 1944/5 in the west. However, the point I make is that the front advanced towards Berlin every day, and this can only happen if infantry are moving forward, and taking and holding that ground. Artillery and air support cannot do this. It is also a way of countering the too-often-repeated notion that the Germans were better troops with better equipment. Yes, the best German troops were excellent, but let us not forget that they lost. If they were consistently better troops with better equipment, then they would not so consistently have lost.

Oh lindy. Artillery has been important for gaining ground since the Napleonic wars and WW1 was based around artillery. Troops can only advance if they have that support, it's not about the section gun.

So was Medieval 2 just not playtested or did CA think it was acceptable to wait for the timer to tick down at 3x speed for 20 minutes because the enemy never fucking attacks during a siege?

Maybe you should play simpler baby's game like Ashilla or Shillhammer instead.
Medieval seems to be a bit too complex for you.

Dawn of Conquest

Nothing special about the mod though

Nothing makes my dick harder than a pike unit in a siege.

I want city viewer back

There are so many cool maps in Attila with interesting buildings,o markets and barracks. A lot of what you build on the campaign map appears there too I think. I just want to see people going about their daily lives with the things I've constructed there rather than seeing it being burnt to the ground in a siege. They already have civilians.

1400 kills in one unit? holy fuck

>>166014545

>that UI

Holy fuck why are modders so obsessed with gaudy, intrusive, messy UIs and UI elements?

stopped reading right there

>>166015105
I don't get why people whine about the M2 UI. I think it was nice and everything was understandable.
Every mod on the other hand tries to create a new UI which ends up looking like ass.

you can't improve shit, it will always be shit no matter what you do

>>166015404
The UI structure in that image is exactly the same though. Only the background image and faction banners were changed.

This

But i actually bought it
Warhammer ruined every other total war game for me

>>166015445
due to the way the map was set up I had them initially deployed behind the pike unit that ended up w/ 1500 kills, so they spent most of the battle out of position

>>166015530
>you can't improve shit
But the issue isn't that they try to improve it. They make it terrible almost every time. Like that 30 Years War mod looks horrendous and LotR wasn't much better.
>>166015561
Wasn't actually referring to the mod anon posted. I was more talking about LotR, WH or the 30 Years War mods for M2.
