update on my RTR campaign bros

invasion in east slowed down but took 2 cities and almost 3rd, the greeks (who are only still alive cause they retreated to the islands) launched 1 army into turkey near south of pergamon, black dots on map show full strength seleucid armies blue dots are full strength roman legions

invasion in the west in africa has gone better, carthaginians have 4 armies stuck in corsica, most mainland armies have been destroyed and 5 cities under siege, only 1 casualty though Augustus the Cunning gave his life during a fight which involved the majority of Carthage's mainland forces

By playing it?

TW is easy to get into and nowhere near as autistic as /gsg/. Its essentially just building up towns and raising/lowing taxes. Attila adds politics, and building up your provinces is more complicated as you have to deal with food, squalor and fertility. Thats about as difficult as TW gets. Otherwise just enjoy the battles.

Besides the idea that I'd like the ability to do so myself?
And I didn't paint it as a bad thing. More is better, but I doubt they'll give credit to the modders. Even a general shoutout of "hey we appreciate the work you put in" would be great but I doubt it.

>>167243646
They said about opening up the tools further at a later date, perhaps we will eventually be able to use them in campaign.

Its a shame most the cool maps are quest battle, or custom battle exclusive as it is.

Im sick of Bjornling conclave for every Norcsa battle.

>modding in campaign maps
naaah, if anything CA will take the best maps from the community and learn what players want and integrate that into battle map design for Warhams 2

Big things they will learn: settlement maps, more diverse terrain features, more elevation and choke play

>>167243804
I really do hope so, but for custom battles we can currently replicate town battles by making barriers and custom spawn points for defenders.

If modders are able to find a way to ad them to the campaign map it would be possible to ad a number of different town battles to un-walled towns, which would be amazing.

>>167243804
Siege map editing is the number 2 addition people are begging for after campaign integration. So long as the map editor sees a lot of use, and I think it definitely will, then we will siege editing.

>>167243918
It was a strategic victory for me. They broke of the siege because they only had 3 hellcannons left.

The Empire is humanity's bulwark against its enemies (chaos, orks, etc.). It's relatively sophisticated on a technological level, and it mirrors the HRE in the early modern age. Further, the citizens of the Empire primarily believe in either Ulric or Sigmar, with some minor deities also being worshipped. Bretonnia is more of a backwater kingdom which blends Arthurian legends with medieval France. As such, Bretonnia mirrors a hyper-feudal France. They're also stuck worshipping an eleven god.

>>167251218
Taal is worshipped almost as much as Ulric.

>reading the 2e WHRP booklet

When Granny Gusserin was a young girl she saw something nasty in the West Wood. Ever since, she has warned her sons and grandsons and great-grandsons not to go down there or the Elves will get them. Clovis has never even seen an Elf, but he knows he hates them, for despite all his family being giant strapping lads, he has lost a father, an uncle and a brother to the Elves. All were found dead near the West Wood without a mark on them. Clovis is brave and wants revenge and is determined to go to the West Wood to get it. Which means Granny will have to poison another of her boys, because the local baron uses the West Wood for his Slaanesh orgies and has been paying Granny handsomely for fifty years to keep the woodcutters from discovering this. Granny hates to lose another good boy, but the family can’t survive on the money from woodcutting alone, so she has made peace with what she must do. The only problem is that unlike his predecessors, Clovis has asked some adventurers to go with him.

Quote: “Granny says Elves are ten-feet tall an’ all cov’red in spiders — but I ain’t scar’t”

>>167254827
Yeah but no.
He's still attached to the main stuntie factions as a recruitable lord. If you play Stunties and don't start with him, owning Karak Kadrin and building a slayer shrine there is the requirement to get him though.
But as a seperate minor faction he doesn't rule them. The only time minor factions get LLs are if they are playable or have one of the minicampaign stars.

Pretty down to earth and cool guy, despite the whole communism thing. I'm pretty conservative politically and I still agree with a lot of the shit he has to say.

Has become a bit of a maymay because of his repeated use of certain phrase ("My God! Pure ideology!") and for having a strange physical tick of rubbing his nose and sniffing loudly while he speaks.

Fire wizards shoot like magical artillery, big fat arcing balls of fire that explode into deadly flares above the enemy's heads. The Empire provinces all have their own knightly orders and specific elite troops, no more of everyone having everything. I could almost forgive them for not having a Warsphinx model.

Eh, Slovenia (actually Yugoslavia but whatever) was much more liberal than a Soviet puppet state.

College libs are triggered by Zizek because he's not a defeatist cuck and an actual leftist. He acknowledges the struggle of women or LGBTs and so on but he knows that these are not primary concerns but rather distractions that cucked leftists present as victories against capitalism while the true struggle of the working class is harder than ever.

See, the "left" that you guys see in America is not left at all, all those SJW snowflakes would prefer capitalism over a communist regime any day of the week if they were actually faced with a choice. What they're doing is just make-believe to feel themselves superior.

You know what, I feel like it CAN'T just be complete creative bankruptcy that prevents CA from making stuff like this.

There has to be either some kind of design dictum from QA or high up in the design chain of command, possibly even from corporate, that limits how "complex" they're allowed to make the maps or something.

It just doesn't make sense otherwise.

CA will look at what the community creates and take notes. Clearly bigger maps with terrain breaking up the map, more elevation play, or just anything that isn't a shogun 2 open field.

Not every map has to be crazy, especially in the badlands, but some less monotony across the board with some memorable instances would be nice. Let alone what criticism they have been getting for future siege design. Shit is crazy in Warhammer, the DLC maps are good (aside from some WElf ones, fuck you same ""settlement"" map) but we need more good maps, more different maps, a few map types as well.

But more shit for the community is good, in return the community indirectly gives CA map design feedback. Get to work CA, Warhams 2 better kick the shit out of OldWorld,of which I'm a fan.

>>167276816
Hole up at one of the entrances into your fort, leave the scout equites outside of towns with forward deployment

Use testudo formation so that your shitty comitatensis spears and whatever swords defend heavily and don't die too quickly

wait until the enemy army inevitably banches up against the testudo trying to pry it open, get the second infantry unit in there to hold the line for a little bit longer if it's free

when the enemy commits most of his army to the moshpit, (especially cavalry) roll in with the equites and decimate his ranged units because they have fuckall melee defence and attack stats, but try not to let them fire shots into your cav while they're fighting because they will kill it quick

once you're done mopping the ranged units up, get to the moshpit and charge right in the with cav, since the enemy will have their back turned to you you will get literal hundreds of kills with a charge
then immediately pull the cav out and charge again a few seconds later

if you have an archer garrison unit, fire whistling arrows into the crowd
that will make the enemy rout almost 100%, then you just mop up with cav

it's important to be quick about all this because you're on a "my melee units are gonna die inevitably" timer, and you have to kill the ranged units and start charging the moshpit before that happens

it may take a few tries before you learn to do it right, but once you do these battles become a breeze most of the time

if your opponent brings axe-wielding units like germanic warband and such you're fucked because they will slaughter your infantry really fast, so use any skirmishers and archers that you might have to weaken their numbers as much as possible before they get to melee

that's it

They'll take my last settlement and I'll take attrition from that, not to mention I'm losing money every turn anyway

Honorius is destined to rule a united Roman Empire.

>>167283691
To be fair, pottery is also the resource of Altdorf. Bretonnia's liable to get WOODed in any case.

Good to know that Funditores are LITERALLY useless in FotE. They used all their ammunition firing at the backs of the Protectores Domestici and got one kill.

The Nervi really fucking finished me off, when I fled the first time I should have kept pushing till I could go to Britain and chill the fuck out away from the entire rest of the planet that hated me for no reason.

At least one of my armies lasted from turn 1 throughout the whole campaign and managed to get to army tradition 10 without losing a single battle, 88 in all. Tactical miracles, strategic disasters

I dunno. Maybe to incentivize taking them over a heavy cav bodyguard?

Slings slow down targets they hit. They're supposed to give you a little bit of extra time to respond to movement, and that's all.

Look like a fun army comp. I would have gone for more cav, but whatever.

>>167285536


You got the double sized garrison mod? I think your extra garrison units that the mod provides have to replenish like a regular army first at start of game.

>tfw my shogun 2 campaign has turned into a 3 way holy war

>>167285825
That looks pretty nice so far. However, that top bend in the river looks a bit jagged.

>>167286653
Nothing is inherently wrong with Pontus. It is a /twg/ meme. People had very high expectations for R2 in terms of factions released; keep in mind that the TW forums are full of disgusting Greek boyfuckers.

And then FUCKING PONTUS is announced and everyone sperged out because the idea of a game set in 250BC without Greeks was apparently the worst thing ever.

What is the best way to position your units? As wide as possible so that less units are fighting and you'll have more fresh troops? For flanking forces I think squares are the best. Are cavalry more powerful in a column?

>>167287540
Depends on what you're going for. You generally need width to brace for charges or any sort of impact. However, length will give you a significant advantage in surrounding the enemy unit. Ideally you would have just the right width to withstand the enemy charge and move in.

Have any of the Attila overhaul mods been released or na?

If you mean AE or MK then no.

Do you have to choose Alejandro as your main lord at the start to get the ancerstor events as dwarfs or can you get them later if you pick another lord instead?
