/twg/ - Total War General

HAHAHHA here we GO again, another round of stale memes and shitposting.
another round of tomb kangz, meme goblins, muh lady, AHHHH rome, le ebin vlad, and etcetera.

I'm fucking tired of this general, you autists are the absolute bane of this board, holy shit I would stomp every single one of you meme spouting neckbeards in a second with my bare hands.
For the love of god stop posting these memes, I'm tired, I just want to discuss Total War and not have to scroll trough a wall of memes.
Enough is enough.

Gobbos are shit
Brets honor a whore

10 levels and he still can't do shit, and routinely goes to 1/4 health every time I sick him on the enemy lord. Do regular mooks fuck him up that bad that if he's tied up in a lord battle that they all just hit him or what's going on?

I am really enjoying Steel Faith so far, but I've been finding myself starved for skill points.

I know SFO still gives you more than vanilla does, but I guess Prometheus spoiled me by making it rain skill points before I switched.

Yeah, Steel Faith used to give out more skill points, but the modder lowered the amount because he thought he was giving too much. Now it's 1 point for Lords except at every 5 levels, and 1 point for Heroes except at every 10 levels.

Why does auto-resolve favor archers so heavily?
Is it calculating their potential kills by range and ammunition?
Because they only get 3 volleys off before the enemy meets your battle line and then you need lots of micro to position them to start shooting again.

You can take Mareinburg without going full cheese (luring the tower & mortor to waste it's shots & ammo on your kiting lord, using archers to shot through holes in the wall when AI won't sally out) but going full cheese enables you to keep your army and take out the Skullsmashers turn 4.

I did mine on hard battle difficulty without any of what you nerds call cheese, I just suffered the atrocious casualties and won the battle. Every pegasus knight died taking marienburg, the knights were decimated, and peasants died in the thousands removing greenskin later on. Didn't matter, marienburg is worth any casualties and the money bankrolled the early game.

I played shogun 2 a bit, towers aren't nearly as murderous in that game as they are in Warhams or Attila. Also /tg/ used to have total war threads occasionally before this board existed, and there's nothing sudden about the appearance of /tg/ folks here.

Cheesing the AI is a choice, but 'playing smart' and 'cheese' are completely different things. Now that we're infected with /tg/, this should be entirely clear - playing smart and being a fucking munchkin are not the same thing.

It is impossible to differentiate 'playing smart' and 'being a munchkin' in AI games other than 'well I don't like that method'

REIKSGUARD KNIGHTS

Not to sound like Seth Rogen, but does anyone else notice a significant boost in skill when high?
Normally, in TW:W, I can maybe barely take on hard, after a sufficient number of restarts. Yesterday I got baked and did a Legendary campaign in one go. As Chaos, but still.
Similar things happened with 4x games - I won games of Endless Space 2 on maximum difficulty without any troubles when I was high, but when I tried to play it normally, I couldn't do it.

Jesus Christ, what am I doing wrong as Bretonnia? VH/VH and I can barely beat Marienburg. I saw you guys giving advice like "Take Marienburg by turn 2" but it seems impossible. Either I get COMPLETELY fucked over and lose the battle because all of my units rout or I win, barely have any troops left, and then the orcs fuck me over. And somehow, despite taking as much care as I can, Louen and the pegasus knights get wiped out, because apparently me telling them "go over here and wait" means "Fly in this direction for a second, but immediately turn right back into the handgunner/crossbow fire" to the pegasus knights.

What are you doing to take Marienburg so easily, /twg/?

The Roman/Jewish War begins, with multiple (former) border armies taking the offensive, besieging multiple cities belonging to the enemy, inluding the ERE's mediterranean holdings, which are being attacked by land armies that have disembarked. The ERE has fleets in the area, but our naval forces are moving to intercept them and ensure they don't reach their destination. The ERE's only land province in Thessalonica is being besieged, while a second army hunts down a legion nearby.

In North Africa the going looks to be much tougher, due to the WRE's heavy use of garrison buildings - it appears that this is how they survived so late into the game, and my forces have their work cut out for them, even when attacking unwalled settlements.

>>170703036
That would be cool too, maybe a short and simple tree for each unit with specialization or generalization, maybe with some accommodation for respeccing if need be?

And speaking of impossible dreams, imagine if there was some kind of units climbing units tech a la Dragon's Dogma, so Slayers could climb up Giants and beat em up.

Oh and speaking of DD, what about a troop role switching system? Say, you can retrain your swordsmen into halbierdiers or up into greatswords, and they have different stats derived from the levels they spent as swordsmen or whatever. Like Pistoliers would develop speed as they level, so if you retrain them into empire knights they become sonic speed knights, but more fragile than knights who did all their leveling as knights.

After recruiting from the vanquished langobards taken prisoner and receiving reinforcement, resupply and a fresh unit of cataphracts from our western ally, the legion of Arbogast isn't in as terrible a condition as I'd thought it would be.

He's also feeling pretty good, his surviving men worship him and the new recruits are in awe of his victories across Gaul.

Uburzis is within striking distance and Arbogast would like nothing more than to start dismantling the langobard empire while their forces are scattered and leaderless, but going into Germania without full reinforcement is death.

Yeah, it's basically the only spell I've got with him. I haven't bothered getting the Cygor spell because I've still got the Giant that you start off with so I don't need the Terror and leaving one spot open in the army isn't worth it.

The barbarian invasion is largely defeated in the north. Allied forces are converging on the Roman traitors' bases in northern Gaul, and whatever forces remain of their barbarian NATO have shrunk back into wild Britannia and Germania.

On the eastern front, Arab forces are defeated by a hastily levied Sassanid army near Ctesiphon, but further east the coalition is making gains in Persis and Spahan. The fully replenished legion of Seneca is ready to begin its next offensive and blaze a trail down the Tigris, razing cities as they march to the sea.

The plague continues to ravage lands and armies throughout the middle east, and spread from the rebel base at Durocortorum.

I only regret that I could only save one pack of these before the Sassanids rebelled. Gonna have to try to keep them around for the armored indian variety.

You think I'm leaving her? I'm sending armies into spain at my own cost, without the request of WRE cause she's too damn proud to admit she needs help from a dirty barbar like me. I'm about to turn on the alamans, one of the great powers of the world because he's about to enter WRE's islands. I'm going to take out the Suebians, Langoboards, Burgundians, Danes, Italia, Western Seps; everyone who could hurt her. I'll burn this whole goddamn world to the ground if we could huddle together in the ruins.

Is EB2 fun to play yet?

>>170706162
Its 482 in my campaign, and the WRE are not only still alive, they are the #2 power behind me

Which is why I am currently at war with them

Yep, that's WRE. She will see you in the end, frank. Deus vult.

I never take more than one mage for my armies tbqh. If it's a wizard lord I just take a melee hero (or two in the case of beastmen).

/twg/, is there going to be a pack for TW:W which contains all dlc's for the game or do i have to buy them separately?

Anyone else wish they gave malagor a unique lore so there's a reason to use him?

>>170708159

It'd be alright if the brayshaman's didn't have lore of wild, but they do, so it's just pointless to take him. Bothers me a lot because I really like him.

>>170707906

His campaign modifier is absolutely gobshit 10% campaign movement is decent but +1 to Bray-Shaman rank is literally useless. I'm almost done with the campaign and I still havne't recruited a shaman. His quest item as well, even with the better artifacts mod.

Still, I'm having fun playing him, mostly because his model is badass and it's great to start with a giant.

>>170707812
Please respond

Has anyone tried a Morghur campaign? I can't imagine playing beastmen without Minotaurs.

>>170708346
>don't

Why?

>>170708150
Summer.
Ask yourself if you would wait 4 months to save $15 on something. Because I guarantee if it will even be on sale, it's not going to be half off. 33% at most.
That's 3-4 hours of work after taxes at a shitty barely above minimum wage job instead of 5. If your mom asked you to mulch around the house for the DLC, you'd do it.
You're wasting 4 months to save 3 hours of work. You need to think about time, anon.
These whole 4 months you could be playing factions. Sifting out the shit ones you don't like. Getting gud with the ones you do, then you're up to date for the next expansion.

God I hate how I have to champion DLC just because I have a job now. But money is fucking nice and it does nothing by just sitting there.

>>170707906
I think they buffed his melee w/ the most recent patch, but yeah he's still pretty shit. His gimmick should be flying/gliding on his wings to have good movement speed and the ability to charge weaker stuff, but right now the only thing he has going for him over a regular shaman is his unique magic boosting ability

Morghur wrecked the absolute shit out of two of my armies last time I saw him in a campaign, can you get him if you start with khazrak or malagor?

>>170708641
Is there a lore reason why he gets that penalty?

>>170708960
Yeah, sure. After you recruit one chaos spawn I think.

>anon says Saxons have a great roster
>the /his/fag within me prefers Franks

What do?

>>170708698
I know I'm just so damn cheap and those sales come out of nowhere sometimes. I hadn't played a Total War since Medieval 2 in 2010, I bought Warhammer on the humble bundle last month and have fallen in love with the series again. Right now I'm trying to decide between Rome II and Atilla and I figured with a sale I could swipe them both.

Well all the others use standard lores too, but have some extra cool bits too.

>>170708641
I did a good 100 or so turns on it before SFO came out. It's interesting, fun to try once at least. Makes you appreciate Minotaurs more.
