I tried playing Empire again after almost a decade since I last tried it (ie when I bought it), but it's still pretty shit. The AI is awful, and the way difficulty is always created is by giving it unfair handicaps. Why the fuck do mughal peasants rout my cuirassiers after a charge that kills half their unit and loses no horses? How can inferior musketeers have more accuracy than guards?

Does anyone still play Shogun 2? I'd like to get into it, a multiplayer campaign sounds nice.

I mean you can always get into attila. people here seem to get into it way more. than shogun. though I don't play shogun 2 so idk. Maybe the multiplayer has the most people playing it.

I'd rather not buy anything. I have an account with Empire that was bought in 2009, a friend gave me Shogun II and I was a beta tester for Rome II so I got it for free.

These are the games I'd rather play. Buying games these days is just an elaborate fleece, I was unfortunate enough that my first TW game was also the first where they tried to use the cancer that is DLCs.

I'm really trying hard to like Empire, but you're right. I'll take a look and possibly get Attila, multiplayer could make it worth it.

I don't understand Shogun 2. It was really fun playing through my first Takeda campaign, but because it was so conflict heavy all I really got to play with were samurai & some pretty pointless cav before it was over.

Now I'm trying Shimazu because I want to play with guns but all I'm doing literally nothing every single turn whilst I wait for the tech and it feels stupid as shit. Like I have the power to take the whole of Japan and win straight away, but instead I'm just sitting on my arse until I have fun gun units even though I'll be getting them way later then they were about in history.

I took this screen shot a few turns ago and I'm currently on 127,000 gold with nothing to spend it on. Really feels like I should have access to a way of boosting tech speed with money.
>>
>>180225829
I'm not really going to complain about having everything in one place, even if I don't care for that place. Unless it was a "news" site.

Dumb question, from what I'm reading, there will only be 4 new factions and those are Lizard/High Elf/Dark Elf/not announced?

And there will be another new faction for Warhammer 1 as pre-order DLC? Which I find odd, since this is being sold as a stand alone game, so if you wouldn't be able to use pre-order DLC unless you own Warhammer 1?

And Skaven are not mentioned anywhere, except on the logo there are runes? So they're the likely runners for the fourth race?

The year is 246 BC, or 507 AVC. A season past, the great statesman and general Lucius Aemilius Papus, responsible for the protection of Italia, annexation of Sicily and Carthage, and several times Consul of the Republic, has died a natural death at the ripe old age of 70. Despite dozens of decisive military victories, Rome finds itself in a dire position. To the north, the Gaulish barbarians of the Boii and Arverni push against the Alps in the province of Insubria, with few legions to dedicate to her defense, Roma has befriended the neighbouring Hellenic Massalians. To the West, despite the humiliating loss of their capital, or "Qart Hadasht" in their sickening language, the vile Punics maintain a firm grip on most of Hispania, either through direct control or Spaniard tributaries. With immense wealth collected from their many remaining sea ports, they continue to maintain great hordes of uncivilized, beast like men to populate their armies. In the sprawling deserts of southern Africa, there exist several semi-nomadic tribes, undoubtedly bribed by Punics to wage war against us. Before his death, Q. Aemilius Papus managed to establish a vassal desert tribe in the provincial capitol of Capsa, men more than capable of fighting and guiding us through the seemingly never ending dunes. To the East, the Epirotes stand as a friend and trade partner, though they have been reluctant in establishing a fully fledged alliance, perhaps due to the sheer number of Rome's enemies. Indeed, the Pharaonic Alexandrian Ptolemaioi, with their numberless charioteers, had joined the Punics in their feeble attempt to stop us from claiming what should be ours. The most influential man in the republic, Marcus Aemilius Bibaculus, son of the great Quintus Aemilius Papus, is looked upon by all. Some believe he will live to surpass the magnificence of his father, while others fear that he will bring about their utter destruction. Rome must, and will remain unconquered.

A season has passed, and the enemies of Rome begin to pounce. A Punic fleet "graces" Sardinia with their presence, though it is not known whether or not they will begin a full scale invasion. As the 1st Legion retreats from the seaside town of Thapsos to replenish their numbers in Sicily, a tribal army enters the province, surely with the intent to recapture Carthage for their Punic overlords. The 3rd Legion, currently stationed in Carthage will destroy them utterly, pathetic fortifications or not.
>>
>>180228420
Bjornlings die, Skaeling is just Surtha Ek's twin brother that no one notices or mistakes for Surtha Ek. The only thing meme worthy about Bjornlings is that they might get away with razing one or two settlements before a greenskin or dwarf player manages to take notice and when that happens they get their asshole fisted, like if Vlad the impaler skewered someone but started at their mouth and used his fist instead of a sharp stick.

The problem is that they had no obvious way of making it more warhammery. Resources for unit construction, roads and sanitation would not have served a purpose within the setting, but they are rethinking the campaign map, as we have witnessed from the new reveals.

As if there was any doubt, Rome is victorious. The man behind the victory is Lucius Calpernius, a praetor, but plebeian general and former friend to Quintus Aemilius Papus. This victory has cemented him as a hero to the plebeians, and even the Senators look upon him with admiration. We must hope that this is their last force, so that our puppet Garamantian tribe might annex them.

Don't demons require either massive chaos corruption or a very well supported infrastructure of sacrifice and prayer or they just phase out?

I seem to recall (I know it's 40k) but in the first siege of Armageddon the chaos dude leading it (Angron?) Had to stop and build loads of temples and stuff or all his demon forces would melt.

Also nurgle demons would probably have something interesting to say about sanitation.

this is the current state of the limes in pannonia - in addition to these garrisons there are stacks in both of the towns as well. I'm currently researching the tech to unlock t4 walled minor settlements, and will be building those there as well. Not sure about upgrading to the final garrison chain tier, as they are really fucking expensive and only add saggitari.

The weak spots in the limes are noricum and dalmatia, as noricum is still getting taxed and thus has to balance out its defenses w/ their food costs unlike the other provinces, and I've left dalmatia somewhat un-upgraded since the Huns haven't been pressuring it like I thought they would

I hate them because they are stupidly effective to the AI but whenever I try to use them they utterly suck.

it splits both the western and eastern roman empires into multiple factions so they're more difficult to fight (or easier to play as). it also adds the war weariness from AoC, a few factions and a lot of different units. perfect for me since I really burned through the vanilla campaigns

Warhamster is a far more interesting and varied IP than the periods of history which haven't been covered and there's only so many times Rome can be rebooted.

I'd much rather watch PRINCE AND EMPEROR ride an angry murder pigeon into a unit of green midgets while somewhere else a bugger green lunatic does a dance to cast a spell that means their god appears and stamps on someone his doesn't like.

To me this is far more exciting that a dozen different variations of pikemen.

I know this is subjective, but it's how I feel. Warhammer has also produced far more fun memes than all previous titles put together

Also histautism is hilarious.

State of the Empire as of 420AD

The upgrading of the limes in Pannonia is now complete, and if the huns try to begin their assault their they will be faced with maxed out garrisons and walled minor settlements. Attila isn't king right now for whatever reason, only the faction heir, but I have already "assassinated" him once with my best spy (red x on map). Hopefully it counts towards knocking down his life total. I have 6 armies in the immediate area prepared for the huns, and I am ready for them.

Honorious is now governing Carthaginensis, as its old governor went blind and he needed to gain influence, which he wasn't getting as a general now that rebellions are less common than they were. He did get the Diplomatic Tone trait (+20% income from trade tariffs), so he isn't completely shit.

In Britain I think I have finally dealt the back-breaking blow to the jutes - a while ago they decided to ditch their province and become a horde, and they sailed all the way to caledonia and tried to siege eboracum from the north, and were beaten when Sextus Perennis reinforced the city from the south. Sextus is the only general I've had get all the way to the Vir Illustrius trait, and is the sole reason why Britain is still in roman hands. Depending on how well the situation with the Huns is handled in the east, he may end up leading an expedition to remove the blue swedes up north and end the threat to Roman Britain once and for all.

Depending on the era there's a lot of scope for variety in both geography and units. There's a ton of different cultures in pre-modern China and the influences of Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism and even Christianty and Islam could be amazing if it was implemented properly. It was easily as diverse as medieval Europe.

The advisor even tells you in the intro that Rome has been neglected, they might as well say that you should move your capital back to Rome. Only problem is that CA hasn't included a "move capital" feature for ages.

Historically after Constantine moved the capital to Constantinople the relevance of Rome declined. There's many practical reasons why the newer capital cities are further up north. It just wouldn't make sense for the capital to be Rome anymore.

>>180241542
The layout of the provinces and cities on the campaign map in Medieval is a whole other story of failure.

As a Slovene, I feel personally insulted that Ptuj was given to Croatia in the Charley Man campaign.

I would never, under any circumstances, get a gaming tattoo.

You know that's really fucked up that "gamers" actually have tattoos like this.

You don't see movie buffs getting Star Wars tattoos, or trekkies getting tattoos of Admiral Ackbar.

Tattoos are supposed to have meaning.

When I was in the army, I didn't even think about getting a tattoo until near the end of my deployment. I've seen and done some horrible things in my life so when I came back to the states I did a lot of volunteer work which prompted me to get two tattoos of the words "angel" and "devil" in chinese on my left and right wrists so that I can remind myself that I am capable of doing both good and bad things.

10 years from now I'll look at my wrists and still have profound thoughts of what went through my mind the day I decided to get these tattoos but the idiots who got them because they like videogames will only see an outdated, obsolete franchise.

Playing clans on west is always like that for a period of time when you get all of trade nodes. You'll need that later on, and it compensastes for the fact that for the next ~50 turns all provinces that you conquer have below average wealth and fertility of land.

And if you feel like you could take all of japan right now is probably because you play on difficulty which is too easy for you, try playing on very hard, then you'll see why do you need all of those upgrades and shit

And if you're already on VH, then I like to imagine that it's worth the wait for those gold upgrades to see later on, how your armies completly anihilate your enemies

Total War scale really isn't that big, typically a few thousand in mid-large battles and that's on highest unit size possible

NCR military alone canonically has tens of thousands during NV, and they could conceivably set it after that time as well.

NCR and Legion are the only two factions that have big numbers, because they're the largest factions. No other faction I can think of has the numbers. (Brotherhood is split amongst the wasteland, and even then, all of them combined isn't that big)

>>180252737
Well we got raiders, and supermutants
>>
>>180252737
True, there aren't enough large factions to really make it a full scale game.

Fantasy innovated in battles, but history needs to innovate on the campaign map.

Every campaign has fucking sucked as a strategy game, and only retards blame Warhammer for "dumbing it down". All it did was get rid of a bunch of boring tedium.

It wouldn't make sense with Warhammer, but historical campaigns should feel more historical and strategic. There should be more fundamental differences between regions, with geography and demography actually meaning something.

I don't mean Vicky II style pop mechanics, but for games not lasting 200+ years, poor regions should stay poor, and rich regions should really stand out, so that it actually matters where we start and what areas we choose to invade. And in 200+ year games it should take a long fucking time to make your pisspoor shithole rich.

Internal management shouldn't be a pre-determined regional spreadsheet game. Depending on the setting, it should be about internal power struggles and/or developing your country, as a whole, in a particular direction.

Instead of adding up food, PO, and sanitation for every fucking province before building the same wealth-generating or unit-enabling shit, I should be planning out an empire-wide food strategy with devoted breadbasket regions, I should be planning out a military infrastructure that will enable the specific type of military I want to use, and I should be planning the wealth urban areas that will generate the money for my nation.

The campaign doesn't need to be a great strategy game, just something that would pass as a 6 or 7 on its own, instead of the unplayable boring garbage it would be if there weren't battles to provide context.
>>
>>180253881
I couldn't imagine dragons and tyrannosaurs working in Total War either
>>
>>180254003
This

The campaign was dumbed down from the start, and the only depth that appeared to exist was an illusion created through the retarded mechanics you mentioned. Warhammer essentially just streamlined the campaign to its most basic roots and stripped away the mostly unnecessary excess.

World War 1 just doesn't map to the Total War formula at all

A general running around on a campaign map with his army and attacking another general or a settlement - it doesn't work
Controlling squares or squads of different types of units maneuvering around the battlefield - it doesn't work

Of course CA could make a WW1 game and put "Total War" in the title but it wouldn't have anything in common with the other titles in the series besides having war in it, it would be a Spartan Total Warrior tier spinoff with completely different gameplay

>>180254128

This, Total War can't represent the shift from the period of set piece battles between mobile armies to the period of continent-spanning military fronts.

Victoria Total War would be great, 1000-Mile Human Wave Total War would be shit.

Trenches would be pretty easy IMO, unique animation and an environmental bonus is all you'd need. The mechanics for charging would have to be introduced though obviously, not too much of a departure from anything they've done however.

Planes could function as an ability perhaps, or as an elite unit? At least in terms of battle. That would be a bit retarded in the greater context of the campaign though. I suppose they could introduce a layer type system where a given army has a separate section for land troops and air for example.

Should they remove researching technology and upgrading your general as well? I guess I just stop seeing the point of having a campaign map at all if you keep going in that direction

The more I think about it, the more East Asia total war set during the 1200s would seriously be a good title. There’s a lot of parallels that can be drawn to Rome 2’s factions.

Southern Song Dynasty = Macedon
Taking Sino/Chinese culture as the equivalent to the Hellenic/Greek culture.

Jurchen Jin Dynasty = Parthia
Cavalry dominant, but can eventually field decent infantry.

Mongols = Saka/Sauromatae/Scythia
Horse archer spam incarnate. Alternatively may also be seen as Rome because they’re the “winners"

Western Xia/Tanguts = Seleucids
While it’s a mishmash of Chinese and Tangut/Steppe culture, but more Chinese. Seleucids are an Eastern-Hellenic hybrid, but more Hellenic.

Western Liao/Kara Khitan = Pontus
Chinese and Steppe culture mishmash, but more Steppe. Pontus is an Eastern-Hellenic hybrid but more Eastern.

Tibet = Armenia
Mountain kingdom, some of the heaviest cavalry of the Far East second to the Jin Dynasty (Armenian vs Parthian Cataphracts) but limited.

Genpei Japan = Epirus/Illyrians/Odrysian Kingdom/Dacians
Epirus because some Chinese influence, Illyrians because of as wako pirates raiding the lands to their west, and Odrysian because of their obsession with 2-handed polearms such as the naginata, which is like the Thracians with their rhomphaia. Dacians because their yumi bows aren’t that bad, but not stellar. Same can be said of the Dacians’ horse archery and foot archers. Also falxes.

Goryeo Kingdom = Bosphorus
Located in the north, Chinese-influenced. Tends to get invaded by nomads to the north. The Chinese once said that the Koreans had the best foot archers.

Southeast Asians = Celtics and Germanics and Iberian barbars
They’re relatively lighter in equipment, utilize javelins and falcata-like swords, and lack siege equipment and navies.

Dai Viet = Massalia

Are Beastmen fun?

I played 35 hours of Warhammer and fell off hard, none of the base game factions were fun to me (not getting the whole faction without DLC didn't help, and I'm not going to buy DLC like that for a game I'm not really enjoying)
Welfs seem like more of the same, and liking a faction in terms of visuals and whatnot like I do the Beastmen might help I think

I'm thinking about buying the Beastmen DLC during the sale and giving Warhammer one last shot

I'm tired of this lazy excuse. It's not an excuse for designing something that quite obviously won't work. Good fantasy is grounded in reality. Good fantasy doesn't require you to shut your brain off to enjoy it. It has to flow logically with the rules of the universe. Just saying i-it's fantasy is a lazy cop out excuse that talentless hacks and their retarded brainlet fans use.
>>
>>180258950

I still don't understand what your problem is with the abilities in TWWH. It's a world where magical powers and items are relatively common.

Warhammer is the least creative fantasy setting on the planet though

I have no idea why people think even the high point of Pike and Shot would be boring. It had much more variety of units and variety visually than the Napoleonic Era or Empire Era.

Pike and shot if starting circa late 15th century could actually work and not be a snoozefest. It'd end up being like Fall of the Samurai with the transition to musket and pike coming into play as the campaign develops.
>Don't have a more up to date ebook or reference besides this old wargaming one, but it documents the major Eurasian armies of the period. http://www.mediafire.com/view

Gors get more melee attack than bestigors if you get the correct perks and tech

Bestgors also have AP.

When it comes to Gores whats better, the shield one or the two weapons one?

The latter is so much more expensive but I've never noticed them doing that much better in battle.

Will CA ever kill autoresolve?

No reason to play the battles if its gonna give you worse results
>>
>>180261174
That only happens if you are bad at the battles ;)
>>
>>180261174
They probably won't remove autoresolve since that will really bog the game down and turn a lot of people off of the game.

I don't want to waste the time it takes to mop up minor armies. There is no fun in a battle with no challenge, its just busy work.
>>
>>180258830
Beastmen are the most unique playing faction in the game. their units are rather samey but still rather fun.
They offer a challenge if you dont like to cheese mintoaurs/cygors.

Having said that, their mini campaign is a slog. All the humans are allied against you and the goblins and beastmen on the map are useless. I win battles but its slow paced trying not to get caught out by all the human armies that beeline for me whenever im revealed.
Always felt like a fugitive playing beastmen. Its a good change of pace though.
>>
>>180261174
>Will CA ever kill autoresolve?
Kill as in remove or nerf?
Because fuck you if you want it removed!

But yes, it's far too strong atm, CA really needs to change it to skip smaller battles but make 50:50 battles only winnable by playing it yourself

the problem with autoresolve is that it evenly spreads out the losses, combined with free automatic replenishment it means that in a turn, or max 2 you get your entire army back, they just need to bring back oldtype replenishment

It's already on VH. I'm not even waiting for gold upgrades though, I'm just waiting for tech so I get fun units.

It takes like 75 turns to get guns by tech by which point theres only like 4 clans left.

>>180263264
Not really though, they take just as long to get gun sams as everyone else. The only thing they're good for is rushing terco's. In this shimazu campaign I've had imported matchlocks since turn 10 which isn't much different from Otomo.

The problem with Otomo is that your nanban trade port is already set in a province without a workshop so you can never get accuracy boosted matchlocks early on and never get accuracy boosted cannons.

well in my unwalled version you've got incentive not to as you can hold along the 3 river crossings wiping effectiveness. also lotsa cozy spots.

As for "normally walled" in the native campaign map sometimes but since the sieges are all copy paste with different background props I made a more exciting siege. which gives you the option to do a heap more things. examples.

As the defender capturing and holding stonehenge (which is outside your deployment zone as defender) reactivates an entire broken wall of towers.

Additionally you can sally out and fight throughout the town before you even get to the walls (thanks to the siege ai scripting the enemy and friendly ai won't be retarded around all the buildings.)

Basically I thought standard "empty plain with some trees before a simple wall" was absolutely mind numbing after the 600th one. so I've done everything I can to make the siege have the ability to play out differently.

Stop being such a fucking casual, there are three main types of food buildings (not counting factional bonus buildings like smokehouses and markets) usually you recruit a military unit from one type of food building and by the time the Perennial Winter has arrived you should only use goat farms as they always give a good amount of food. Just read the info boxes for each building and stop getting upset by more than ten words.
>>
>>180270985
Just hover over shit, they explain everything

If you right click a building you get into the building browser and can compare them easily
You see fertility on the map, on the bottom right there is a map icon click that and on the top of the screen there's a bar where you can change the map mode to fertility, attitude to player and whatnot
Works in the diplomacy screen too

both sides deploy slightly before the bridge on either side generally. though that can vary from map to map.

As for map making itself, in pic related for example there is a template that one of the guys made which just needs 'prettying up" aka adding scenery and all that other stuff and you've got yourself a norsca lava bridge crossing map. which if it works would then be added to grand campaign battle map pack.

ANYWAY if you think you'd be interested in making maps, the discords
https://discord.gg/8vubb

As to map making process themselves, siege ai as it isn't actually supported(and it's only thanks to some script genius that we can even do them. is fucking ridiculous and quite difficult to get your head around. HOWEVER, regular battle maps in the editor are very straightforward. Idiot proof even.
watch a 10 minute youtube tutorial and you can make battle maps, no joke.

I should have made it clearer, what I mean is what's optimized and what's going to get memed on by the climate change I hear so much about. Every total war that isn't attila didn't have this much shit per function. You just made a damn farm. At most you choose between a trade dock or a shipyard and like, armorsmith vs weaponsmith. I wanted to know if theres actually a reason to bother thinking about if I want 200 income +30 per fertility level and 10 livestock produced with 5 squalor vs 150 income +40 per fertility with 20 wealth from agriculture and 2 squalor 3 public order hold the lettuce +1 to please fuck me and making that decision in every fucking town all the time.

Oh it's been years since I've played rome 1, my bad anon, the bridges are fully functional, so you can fight the chokepoint and get that carpet you always wanted.

it's something like 70,000 -90,000 props you can have on a map so you will never find a limit anon.

as for hill size, here is something of an example.both red circles around the same sized red house for scale, the hill isn't even at the top of the map. That a big enough hill for you anon?

>>180271839
actually anon you could put minor victory points
on a regular battle map, however they won't count down a victory timer upon capture, just provide a mapwide morale debuff for losing it.


So i guess the implication is you CAN make supply caravan battles, and you can have several minor victory points on any map.

>>
>>180272473
>Time to get my sassy nid
Well sassy nids don't operate on a wheat field goat and cow basis

They got camels, they don't care about fertility at all, build those in the desert. Camels are OP, very good building might be preferable over all the others in most cases if fertility isn't real high
Horse breeders which give the most money and some horse riding bonus so you'd put that in your military province
Wheat fields which give a ton of food if fertility is good enough
And sheep, which are sort of an in between sort of thing iirc

Just compare and contrast you'll figure it out
Camels everywhere and horse where you want the bonus to cav (you can upgrade guys later on too by running them through the province where the building is at)

Sassy Nids live far down south so they will be less affected by climate change

Make sure to kill the White Huns as quick as you can, after that it's smooth sailing

>>180271204 building sheep everywhere is bad advice though. It really depends on the faction. Barbars for example get military units from only certain type of farm buildings and for Romans the best farm for infertile settlements is cattle.

The text in the black box determines the amount of food the farm will always produce. The text in the red box is the the extra food you get based on the fertility level of the province. The fertility of this province is only "meagre" so it only gives +15 more food. For infertile or low fertility provinces you obviously want to build farms that has the highest number in the black box. If the province has ports then fishing ports are also a good idea.

The game also has an advisor for a reason. I advice you enable him at least on the campaign map if this is your first campaign.

no idea on encampment battles sorry anon, presume no until such a stage that it happens(also it would require a lot of work) but the campaign map itself cannot be modded , how we get better battlemaps on the campaign is by editing so many lines of code you would cry, and then its painting colours onto a photoshop file among other hideous things.

>>180272706
you could emulate a pretty damn cool set of things, pic related as a sneaky mockup took literally one minute of searching for different cloths, then sticking them on a generic empire stick.

As an actual farmer this triggers me so much. Why the fuck would the population get angry for getting more food specially during a time when starving to death was a real danger!?

Wait so is the amount shown in the red box actually telling you what it is for that specific region

>>180273483
Did you never hear about people living near a farm complaining about it?

It smells like cow shit all the time
>>
>>180273543
The "15 Additional food" part is what you actually get, yeah

The second part basically tells you how much it scales

Same with money, "100 Additional wealth" is what you actually get, "+100 from animal husbandry per local fertility level" is how much it scales
So for the same building the second number always stays the same while the first adjusts to fertility
>>
>>180273543
the actual amount is the sum of both of those boxes.
>>
>>180273251
You do sheep because you get food and money
>>180273483
Theosodocious mods remove it, but yeah being a farmer or lead smelter is shit and deadly

No it's telling you how much extra it will produce based on the region's fertility, which you have to determine.

Fertility gets worse as the game goes on.

Cow shit doesn't really smell like anything though. Besides it's the same for wheat farms and i don't think they are spreading manure on the fields 365 days a year.

Honestly anon, nothing is stopping you downloading the game right now and trying it, I think it's fantastic personally. But I've always been a sucker for both total war AND warhammer fantasy. so it's amazing for me.

Finally wrapped up my comfy slow Welf game. 400 turns of goofing about.
Used SFO + No Confederations + Liberate All. Funny to see AI liberate other factions at times, maybe a bit broken (why would Jagged Horn revive Scabby Eye?), but quite nice for reviving the factions you love.
As I couldn't confederate my fellow Athel Loren factions, I had to underhandedly snipe their capitals when their armies left to deal with business abroad.
All the "Main" factions were knocked out really early. Dwarves succumbed to Grimgor, Empire and Bretonnia got rolled over by a Talabecland, Counts got krumped by Carsteins, Grimgor got krumped by Wurrzag.
Around the mid game Wurrzag was by a long mile the strongest power, had a lot of fun close/pyrrhic battles with his armies. His own army had five (5) Arachnarok Spiders and his buddy giant, was a lot of fun to fight.
Attached image is the state of the world at turn 400. The dark green are my outposts, purple is Angrund, Red is Talabecland.
Sadly, I could not save Carcassone from a gangbang of Tilea, Estalia, and Talabecland...
Also got a chance to play the final battle as Welves. Quite a bit trickier than Argwylon as your archers run out of ammo before the party really starts!

>maybe themed deck
I actually wanted to do an insect deck but found out that they don't have a lot of support in commander. was quite sad. so I decided to do reanimator instead. had a lot of fun with my friends reanimator deck I played so I wanted my own.

just play modern but choose people who you play with wisely, it's like mmo high end shit there. Everyone using the same fucking meta deck everywhere.

this is why I play commander actually. Most of my friends play it and their not try hard so it's fun all around.

>modern
I never really played that. is it better than commander?

>. Everyone using the same fucking meta deck everywhere. Just say you are playing for fun and refuse to acknowledge metaretards

this is why I only play with my own group. people can get super try hard

Is there any point to these units & firebomb throwers?

Both seem to just fling fire fucking everywhere without actually killing anything.

Oh yes because "let's look at new marketing material" is what these games are all about

Are you using ALT targeting?

I'm sure the general never ever went off topic before warhammer came out. No sir.

Just target the walls with soldiers on them and let the enemy party hard.

I don't think there'd be as much of an objection if there was a discussion of history/historical events. The fantasypeople need to keep it in their pants, but this is the same thing with a palette swap.

firebombers are great for castle defense, like muskets. I think Mangonels get better if you can mass them up in a big siege. I used three or four (small accuracy upgrades) to storm Kyoto with a massive army and it at least looked cool, if not rained fire on areas I wanted to deny to the defenders.
>>
>>180279250
modern is typical format, all cards but vintage (very old sets, too op for nowadays) and some banned ones are allowed.
60 cards deck minimum, no upper limit, the rule is you must be able to shuffle cards by yourself.

Standard is current + 3 previous block (expansions) so all cards past 3rd block rotate out to modern.

>>180279965
Yeah as I said, this is a bit much.

in the dawn of war guys defence, the game flumped on release and the general kept dying, I should know I was the fool continuing to make it.

about an hour ago a huge patch dropped that brought the older games classic gametypes and base turrets back into the game.

anyway back to videogames have a picture of some trolls from my current orc campaign. seems relevant

So im playing with FotE and europa perdita in my attila campaign right now, is there anyway to see which effects each religion gives? I can see my own religions effects (germanic polytheism) but I wanna see what the different christianities give.

Is there any way to really use trolls effectively? Their leadership is just so bad.
>>
>>180270001
You mean imported matchlocks?

They're pretty sucky.

I didn't know you could only build 1 nanban port as well so I built one in my home province with a blacksmith rather than waiting to get a workshop.

In fact, as Otomo can you dismantle your nanban port and rebuild it in the workshop province you get?

Right, the fucking edicts. Germanic pagan edicts are all pretty good, but I remember when I played as ERE there was not a single edict I felt was worth using with europa perdita.

yeah, because they are inside a unit the flanks are protected so they lose the downside of low models getting surrounded morale debuff.
+ the regen means you can pull them out and regen before taking a single casualty most of the time.

They are great for breaking archers/enemy heros too, though you should wait until the enemy hero is in the middle of your troops so your trolls don't get surrounded before engaging.

they do also work great as archer eaters

Is the Steel Faith Overhaul mod any good?

>>180283105
I quite like it, haven't tried the latest unit updates though - bit concerned about these "lore inspired units" to be honest, but I'll try to keep an open mind about it if they play well.

Some quick point beginner tips for first time Total War player? I 'acquired' Attila and it's fun but I'm not doing too well.

- How do I "optimally" build cities? Should I seek to expand all the time as much as possible?
- How do I get other factions to want to do trade deals with me?
- Should I disband troops when not in war?
- How should I prioritize technology?
etc help plz
