I agree. While I don't think sieges are terrible. I definitely do miss the more dynamic cities in attila.

As well as river and costal battles.

at least you can actually attack it from all sides

warhammer sieges are the laziest shit I've ever seen

>>166080226
>end up camping the town square anyway

wow.. what a great feature..

>>166080332
not even the only strategy faggot.

The other big one is concentrating all your forces on the first entrance closest to the general, and then trying to rout the general before the rest of the stack on the other sides gets there, then they all have shit morale and you can beat them back too

>>166079413
Is that poor cunts squatting in the ruins of the circus and built on top of it? Or are they normal parts of the functioning circus with a bit of the masonry in disrepair?

>>166080527
I always thought that it was just turned into some sort of city center for trade and the like with the areas around it and the actual building for other stuff.

>>166080506
Or you can camp the center, break through a weak point and then flank everyone else.

>>166080332
Still more interesting than one-dimensional sieges of Warhammer

>>166081115

when things start to go wrong, for example: 2 full stacks of enemy armies landing in your unprotected part of territory

do you guys keep playing or you go back and load into a safer spot to fix the mistakes? and does not it feel like cheating?

>>166082896
Keep playing obviously. You take the losses on the chin and plan a furious retribution on the lesser creatures who dared attack you.

>>166078189
This? Like the whole one or two wall thing isn't that bad. But the maps are all so bland gameplay wise and there's not much in terms of unique siege equipment or options.

Like what is the point of having stuff like this within the map if it's not going to be use able? I'm just really hoping it's something they're going to work on going forward.

>>166082896
I used to do the latter but honestly it's really unfulfilling.

Trying to roll with the former and it's honestly not that bad. Settlements you can always recapture. The only time it's a real issue is when you lose a high level general over something stupid like the AI stack spamming or friendly fire.

>>166082896
In Shogun 2 I did it all the time because have full stacks landing away from all of your fucking troops was the most frustrating bullshit. I don't do it in warhams because there doesn't seem t obe a lot of frustrating shit in it.

>>166082896
The only time I can think of reloading to an earlier save would be midgame

If it's lategame I'm already strong enough to absorb major defeats, and if it's early game I just quit if something stupid happens like Beastmen raising Helmgart and Marienburg declaring war at the same time

i used to do this but have managed to break the habit, only really load if i make a genuine movement mistake like if i have the wrong unit selected on the campaign map

still need to learn to not alt-f4 when a general dies in battle though

>>166083908
You have to control the ocean in shogun 2.


What people don't realize is that you can at least patrol a section of ocean and could prevent fleets from going at you. but its hard if there's occupied islands behind you.

Warhammer doesn't have much of a naval game. and the ai doesn't seem to use ocean travel too much.

Fuck I am weary from war. I have fought man, vampire, elf and beast to forge Fran's penis into a weapon. So many good men dead, and so much more work to do. I need to finish this civil war with Boris, then I can stamp out the last of Hochland, the fucks who were allowed to leave because I had to rush Gelt south to stop the flow of undead. Then I plan to burn Athel Loren to the ground. Every fucking splinter, and after that I will FINALLY free the down trodden Bretonnian peasant from cruel vampire lords and "noble" lords alike.

That is if Chaos doesn't fuck my asshole first.

See these three posts lay out the pertinent facts.

Total War X has organization going for it. A definite tick in the positives column.
X Total War putting the X first does sort of confuse and half imply that X is the title of the game. It's probably this reason that the change was made.

The mark against Total War X is that a lot more of the titles are controversially shit, and the negative association is formed.

>>166091072
Has migration (literally) gone too far?

>>166091072
Bit early to crusade isn't it?

>>166091513
X is the title of the game. Total war is the series. Organization is nonsense because anyone could sort them into one category and easily discern the title by the first word but now all I have is a bunch of mixed up games with only half their titles in front.

>>166091698
That is the other mark against Total War X on the organization front. It as the latter presentation takes all the guilt for dividing the franchise in twain.

Most of those kills happen after the main battle, against fleeing units. It's clean up, basically.

>>166094860
most of the time in dei you will break the enemy army with large numbers of units still remaining, meaning that master understanders of strategy use their cavalry to hunt them down, resulting in large kill numbers. Also there are many units in garrisons/tribal armies that have unit counts up to 300, so the kill counts can be inflated

Hey /twg/

>vs dwarfs
Bring cannons and handgunners, and use the dwarfs lack of mobility against them. Cannons are great for forcing the stunties to come to you, and they do great damage vs the tight dwarf formations. Handgunners do great ap vs dwarf infantry/lords/gyros, and if you can keep them safe from quarrelers the dwarfs cant catch them

>vs beast men
flaggelents and swords should handle whatever infantry they throw at you, spearmen and halberds for minos/gorebulls, with crossbows and halberd demis to help. Boris Todbringer w/ his crush the weak ability to punish the shitty morale of the beastmen gors/ungors, and you can shit all over the beasties

>vs chaos
Greatswords/halberds for the ap damage, handgunners can be useful for targeting monsters/their ap damage, but are susceptible to manticore spam. Demis with halberds are good vs whatever cav chaos brings

>>166099531
Actually if you understood logistics (which is an important part of strategy) then you would've known that an army composition is simply the very basic ideal reccomended layout and that losses, troop availability and mission situation means an army composition at war is almost never static.

Any halfway decent general would adapt to the situation instead of stubbornly following the book.

So my friend, it seems like you are the one whl is in need of understanding.

>>166100031

That's too much triarii(You won't be using them a lot if you go full autism). You should remove some and make room for some alae. More cav or skirmishers is nice.

>>166100096
Don't listen to >>166100137 guy has no idea what he's talking about beyond 5 minutes of reading wikipedia. Romans used many more formations and tactics than M-MUH TRIPLEX ACIES. It is the mark of a bad general to stubbornly follow the book, something that hannibal exploited. FACT: Romans altered their army composition, formations and recruited local troops to suit their mission. It is their versatility that is their greatest strength.

>>166100404

It just suffers from being part one of a three game project.

warhammet Is good, it's the most fun total war but not the deepest or challenging.

Attila is the best historical title imo.

Rome 2 is better than it was, however I still think the combat and grandmap options are shit.

Never like Shogun 2, find the setting dull and all units rook the same. A lot of people say shogun is the best title though.

>>166103398
If you are new to the series then Shogun 2. It's the most simplistic and easiest to get into.

I really hope they continue to divide different LLs into different sub-factions in the future. It seems like they're doing it, since beastmemes have different start locations as well Welfs. The K&W was much better received than the G&G.

I think they've realised their initial efforts to make LLs unique were shit, giving us abominations like Kemmler, Gelt and Azhag. Wurrzag is an example of an actually decent caster lord.

Because Shogun 2 was/is a great, great TW game and most of the people who worked on S2 are gone, thus it triggers Neo-CA because they can't live up to past glories.

>>166108641

AoW3 is a really good game and series. But nope, it's not TW then. TW is about boring line battles, no grand strategy and a boring end game. Where as AoW3 is fun.

Why not though? Of all the games to experiment with it would be Warhammer. Instead Warhammer is the most stripped down experience of them all.

Going to fantasy is already a big leap for the series and adding a bunch of gameplay elements that may not work out very well in practice probably wouldn't be the most appealing option.
