Don't worry, Total War: Wrath of Khan is on the way.

Can anyone tell me how to change the size of a single unit in Shogun 2, namely the General/Daimyo unit? I've opened the data.pack file with the pack file manager and changed all the general sizes to 12, but whenever I start a new campaign I still get 40 man units.

The two non-main elf factions declared war, what am I in for? Do they actually leave the forest to kick ass or are they going to stay home until they get bored and make peace?

A bit of a daft question for you guys. In TW:Warhammer, how can I view a units unit card that show up on the left side of the screen in campaign view? It shows their traits and the like, but stuff like "ded fighty" doesn't really tell me a lot and I reckon if I could mouse-over it it'd tell me more. But the card disappears as soon as I move the cursor from the unit?

THey wold have to add a loyalty system like EU rome where when they turn there is an x% chance for a unit to turn with that unit if in the same army based on the x tier of loyalty they have. Battle ensues on turn with low morale for the unturned ones, having to fight people who were their friends yesterday, and hig morale for the turned ones, now feeling the forces of chaos pulsing through their veins.

How many provinces should I bother putting military buildings in, for Warhammer? I assume I should keep them near my borders?

>>170103795

2 max really, but that's only if you have certain resources that make special xp buildings or something. and have them next to eachother.

Also it's better to keep it somewhere central and well protected, sure it takes a bit longer for the armies to move out, but you're not fucked when you slip up and one of your cities containing military buildings get razed.

How is shogun 2's representation bad/faulty?

Aside from the fact that matchlocks are too good at long range and way too weak at short

>>170104882
I doubt it will be either Empire or Vamp Lord since we have those out the ass already.

Welfs are the only ones left without a third Lord.

>>170105880

They need to keep the momemtum going after having a good release with Bretonnia

>>170105678
Literally everyone in Marienburg is profoundly developmentally disabled and exist for no purpose other than to play with shinies, play with boats, and get conquered by their betters.

>>170105918
if they were going to give welves a third it wouldn't be on the list. morghur was added to beastmen but isn't on the list because it wouldn't be free-lc if you had to own dlc to get it

>>170105981
There is a delay between aiming and firing which is very small, but the delay is much larger if you have them in fire by rank mode.

You probably just had them in that mode.

>>170105492
That's actually pretty fucked up. I mean, I'm sure everyone expects these to be rigged but to come out and outright say it just shows they give no fucks. I assume no one actually complained on their forums just like how no one complains about pricing a dozen or so playable units at 1/3 the price of a triple A game. They can just do whatever, the fans take it up the ass and say thank you.

I sometimes wonder about gifting gold for friendship or trying to boost another faction's power, but I expect the worst from the AI. They're probably running at 0 income and any gold you give them they'll hire a unit to go negative income.

So I asked this last thread and nobody had a answer.

Is it possible to set up custom campaign objectives? Like how empire has to capture an assload of land and kill the vamps.

I'm getting sick of doing to same shit over and over in the campaign and I'd like to make a campaign where the objective was to clear out the chaos waste or something.

>>170107660
You can just ignore the objectives and play it like a sandbox, you know?

>>170107660
Why do you need the game to tell you to do this? If you wanna clear out the Chaos Wastes, then go clear out the Chaos Wastes.

>>170107660
Yes, it's called Roleplay

>>170107660
Why not just set your own goals?

Do you feel a sense of accomplishment from actually doing what you set out to do or because you get to see a victory pop up?

>>170102662

Paganism is shit, by the end of the game you will not have enough food to support it after climate changed.

>>170107843
>>170107857

I just tried putting an old mod I used to have in the data folder that changes unitt sizes and it had no effect too, so this seems to be something outside of .packs.
Does anyone have any experience and know what might be causing the game to not react at all to changes in unit size? If I remember correctly the standard unit size for generals was 30 and mine is now stuck at 40. Any help or pointer would be highly appreciated.

Being too smart to have fun doesn't sound very smart, anon.

Back in the day, when I was kid and played Rome 1, I have many different campaigns, for example

I played as Macedonia and imagine that King wanted to be a next Alexander, so he gather a large army and march east, to take back macedonian empire, i even try roleplay some battles, even don't pursue him and wanted ai retreat back to city, or wait until he gather big army to make interesting battle

And after I take all territories, that i wanted I just finished game, because i imagine that i won

tfw now people think its autistic ;(

>>170110047
Not really.
Some spells can only deal damage to a certain number of models in a unit, and are therefore more or less effective depending on the unit scale.

Where does this guy get off having these fatass combat stats? He has better melee attack than grimgor or archaon with the same weapon strength, a charge bonus that probably puts blood dragons to shame, but also regenerates and has 4 free chaos spawn summons. He's immune to psych so I can't even kill his entire army to shatter him, he will just stand there and snap every remaining man like a twig and walk away when the job is done.

Hey guys I had an idea to try and conquer all of Japan by making every clan into a Vassal. It feels really weird. Some aspects are easier, like being able to steamroll to the next fort without having to worry about public order. Hardest part is having to keep them alive converting them to my religion so they stop breaking trade and eventually declare war.

But the trade holy fuck the trading is ludicrous. Trying it on normal and will increase the difficulty after my first win. Started with Takeda but not sure if it was a glitch or not but my vassals would get destroyed in one turn without the enemy having to declare war on me. Hence now starting as Shimazu so I can keep them safe

Depends on how you are going to use them. Outriders give you a mobile anvil. Handgunners are better on the defensive, when you can utilize height to allow them to fire over your units.

Crossbowmen are more for taking out lightly armored archers.

>>170118262
I used peasants only armies until the very end and it was fine to me.

Those spells from the enchantress are fucking nice.

Just don't use them against chaos.

Alberic feels like wasted potential.

Being a duke from Bordeleux would have given him a less traditional outlook compared to the rest of Bretonnia.
As in, in large cities, nobles can't afford to treat all peasants like shit, and Bretonnian ships are as modern as anywhere else in the old world, they can use canons and shit just fine cause Bretonnians think the sea is outside the lady's domain.

He also needed an unique model ffs

>they called me a footfag

>>170118639
>they can use canons and shit just fine cause Bretonnians think the sea is outside the lady's domain.
they use cannons primarily because for one Knights and Nobles usually aren't the ones in charge of those ships, it's captains and sailors who don't adhere to the chivalric code.

second, the sailors from bretonnia have preciously little to do with mainland breton customs. They spend a lot of time in foreign ports and foreign cultures so the concept of using what's available is not dishonorable to them.

And third, like Alberic himself the captains and sailors of bretonnia probably consider Manann their patron deity who gives very little of a fuck about what weapons you put on your ships.

plus blasting Norscan shit rafts with cannons is hell of a fun

>>170117880
I love the Bloody Handz early game where it's rinkadink tribal battles with other Savage Orcs

I keep having them all blob up and go for the same enemy unit.

>>170121696

>>170121696
I mean like if I have a line of swordsmen and want them to clash with an enemy line of swordsmen units do I have to individually select each unit and attack each unit I want them to attack?

>>170121832
Yes

This leads to VERY ANNOYING micro in multiplayer, especially with cavalry

Surely there's some kind of option for 'clash with first enemy you hit'

>>170121832
ctrl g + right click

>>170121832
Not really. Units fight each other when they come in to contact. You could just take your long line and issue a move command to the other side of the map. I don't think they get charges off, so lose out on the charge bonus, but they'll stand and fight just fine.

>>170121543


If you lock the group and charge an enemy unit , the other units in the group will try to charge other enemy units that are opposite to their relative positions in the locked formation

Not perfect obviously

>>170121185
I'm not sure how the mod interaction all works because I'm using several, but the ones that I think effect the AI are A more aggressive AI, tier IV minor settlements, and make chaos and ai great.

I have a bunch of mods but I think those 3 make the ai build more armies and attack more, have a better build order and recruitment structure, and can build better things in their base due to having tier IV everywhere so it doesn't fuck itself over.

But the AI never replaces armies in the field so if Karl hasn't been wiped with his 12 swordsmen and 5 crossbowmen he will keep those until he does and recruit a better army when he re-spawns.

This.

What would be nice is a campaign that takes place in different progressions, say 3 acts, which each providing their own stories.

Say for Bretonnia.

Act 1
Eliminate the Beastmen and Greenskinz and unite Bretonnia

Act 2
Get chivalry and fight Mallobaude's army while also dealing with Norscan invaders and do something about the wood elves

Act 3
End Times motherfucker fight off, time for Chaos doom stacks and Norscan tribes out the ass

Then after you've finished all three acts it's free play and you can do whatever you want.

Give every faction some unique story line and mechanics that kind of reflect them and their play style.

>>170123549

What happens if a Grail Knight decides to chug the water in the grail instead of just a sip? Do they become like super Grail Knights?

Don't tell anyone but that's what Louen did, the bastard.

I dunno about your campaign, but in my Empire one they gobbled up Stirland, then Averland, then Wissenland while I was bullying Bretonnians.

In my Chaos campaign they turned half of Kislev into a hellish spook-zone of attrition and endless zombie stacks.

It was "Bring your clan to work" day for the honma

Last campaign I played they ended up taking everything up to the Chaos Wastes and stopping the End Times by themselves.

Fucking hell, why are Vampires so easy to play?

I mean, what the fuck? They've got so many in-built 'win' mechanics it's not funny, both in multiplayer and campaign.

>best healing of all factions
>didn't kill the Claw of Nagash in the first five minutes? Looks like you lose because it's a stacking AoE DoT/HoT
>can literally summon meatshields on top on archer, spending three winds to make 400+ gold worthless
>incredibly cheap anvil, that is almost invincible
>in campaign, can basically spawn an army from fucking nowhere with RoR and Raise Dead

On multiplayer, and I have a 100% win rate over ten games with Kemmler as my general.

KEMMLER

It's annoying, because I like playing Empire, but they require so much more thought than VC to be anywhere close to as effective as 'Group big mass of troops, overcast Nehek, then spam raise dead' that it's just not worth it in multiplayer.

can AI Bret summon the Green Knight?

>>170127157
I think so, one of the devs mentioned there can only be one instance of him at any time.

I think in tabletop it used to be a lot easier to obliterate hordes of fodder with spells, which just doesn't happen often in this game.

The nature of the health bar also means it's not easy to apply a ton of attacks to one character and kill them quickly with a concerted effort. You have to whittle them down. Vampire players had strong lords but if they put them in the wrong fight your army could go from full-swing to crumbling in a single turn.

Does turning the Ai up to legendary actually make the AI smarter/more agressive?
Or is it just a bunch of contrived number altering?

>Just started playing warhammer
>agents
I wish I understood what everyones role was. Warrior priest is to raise growth.. Doesn't fight corruption?

>deployed 989 + 889 units against black crag
>lost 618 + 135 while they lost 664/981 (I'm dwarven)

how in the actual fuck do I get good at micromanaging? If I let shit autoresolve it would be better. I just lose track of all my units even if it isn't a siege. Is t here like a good guide to git gud at this?

>>170127758
There's passive skills which lower corruption the region the hero/agent is in.

>>170127758
Pretty sure all of them can. Some are just better at it than others through skills
I think Empire Captain acts like a mini-lord and damages forces, Witch Hunter assassinates and blocks movement, Warrior Priest cleanses and fixes public order, Wizard is wizard

>>170128332
Wizard lowers construction costs in a region when deployed.

>>170127758
all agents either boost/reduce corruption passively no matter who you are playing as. All agents have 2 toggleable "deploy" abilities as well, one for when the agent is deployed in your provinces and one for when your agent is deployed in foreign ones.

For empire I believe they are

>Empire Captain
Raise public order/lower enemies public order

>Witch Hunter
Increase security vs agent actions/lower enemy income in region

>Warrior Priest
Increase growth/decrease growth

>Empire Wizard
Decrease cost of building/reduce enemy Winds of Magic
