Take care of sanitation food and public order as priorities
Recruit a priest and deploy him so that he gives a public order bonus in the region and converts religion, that helps a lot

Just research stuff you want, like "I want to upgrade this building but I need the tech" or "this unit seems need but I need the tech"
I usually split down the middle and go the same length in both trees

The AI can be dicks and refuse to trade with you because they really want to avoid you getting any more powerful, basically you have to pay people or get good relations by making war on their enemies
Joining one of their wars can also be an incentive, try to get non aggression pacts and generally be friends

Don't disband your troops when not in war, you need them and can't just recruit all over again, they gain experience too
Mercenaries are an exception, they cost absurd amounts of money so only recruit when you need them and then disband asap

You should expand at a steady pace, but don't overdo it. There's a thing called "instability", the public order goes down after you conquer a town and then slowly is less and less affected.
Hover over the smiley face after conquering a town and look at "instability" and "conquest", then you'll see what I mean
You want to expand as much as possible obviously but don't stretch too thin, get a grip on your provinces and whatnot

Someone in last thread said something about ALT targeting Mangonels in shogun 2 but thread closed before i could respond.

What does ALT targeting do?

Also does anyone know a mod that increases tech speed in shogun 2 in an intelligent way? I can never tech for advanced units before my campaigns already ending, even if I rush for tech, which is kind of boring.

>>180286926
there are no good major overhauls if thats what you are asking for, of the smaller mods here is what I use:
fear the green tide
da green threat
orcs occupy anywhere
rise of the beastmen
chaos invasion with stronger armies
tier4 minor settlements (don't actually build these yourself, they are just for the AI)
AI buildings and recruitment (vanilla chaos)
better trade

>>180287967
>tier4 minor settlements (don't actually build these yourself, they are just for the AI)
If you're going down this route, 8/10 slot Province Capitals is worth trying too. Can be a great boost for AI factions, especially the ones which rely heavily on synergies like The Empire. You actually get to fight armies fielding Demigryphs!
>>
>>180288059
hopefully you try to get better at the game and get to the point where you don't have to rely on a babbymode mod as a crutch

>>180288239
The AI greenskins need it because CA can't balance it's games for shit.

>>180287814
It's makes the early-mid game for horde factions actually challenging and fun though. I don't want to be stuck on the campaign map autoresolving 3-4 unit garrisons all day

>>180287712
Well I can't play with the norscan map pack (because crash), try disabling it the rest is fine

Any good chaos mods? Seems like even modders cant salvage them.

it disproportionately helps the player though, as the player knows how to use garrisons to their maximum effectiveness, so if any of your towns get attacked it basically isn't a problem at all, which is retarded

I find that it screws chaos over, as factions end up having a garrison building in every city, and that stops Argayon dead in his tracks, but I have played with 10 slots, and it was pretty fun

I'm representin' for them romans all across the world
Still defendin' them limes in them testudos, girl
Still spreadin' the word of them Latin priests
And I got no love for the east, it's the W.R.E.

State of the Empire as of the Summer of 425

Attila and his hunnic fucking shits are dead - that means that phase 1 of the WRE campaign is complete. We have weathered the storms of the various rebellions, civil wars, barbarian invasions, and hunnic raiding parties and are now ready to go on the offensive. The WRE Revenge tour begins now

First on the hit-list are the geats - one of the only surviving tribes from barbarian NATO, they have been able to sit up in Scandza and send stacks down to britain/belgica with impunity. That changes now - Sextus Perennis, the hero of Brittanica, is gathering a force that will lead an expedition north into Scandza to remove the Geats and Angles from their snow-covered mudhuts.

Unfortunately the ERE is in its death throes, and I won't be able to lead a re-conquest since there isn't anything left to conquer. Instead I am going to have to deal with the Sassanids and their buttboys. Since Dalmatia and Pannonia are already garrsioned up for the Huns, I am going to be able to keep a couple of armies there to deal with whatever armenian spear doomstacks get sent my way, while all of my armies get re-fitted and re-formed with new upgraded units in Maxima Sequanorum. Some of the armies will be sent south into Africa to help create an offensive there, and I am considering turning Lusitania into a military province just to have one closer to Africa than Maxima Sequanorum

Much better result than I expected. The only settlement they were able to raze was Sirmium, which has now been re-colonized by the Marcomans. Normally I would declare war on them and re-take my rightful territory, but I am content to let them sit on it and build it up a little for now while I spend my money elsewhere, upgrading armies and my economy.

I doubt that you can do to that, you start with the regular hastati and get better legionnaires from there on. But literally the princeps alone easily destroy any other unit of any faction 1 on 1 in melee. So there really is nothing worthwhile stopping you in any kind of way.
>>
>>180295654
>>180295786
Depends on where you go and how fast you do it. Yes, late game you can have infantry that outgrinds every other infantry (besides pikes from the front, but really you should avoid those), but by then you most probably have to deal with eastern factions that don't fight like barbarians at all. Early game barbarian factions have stuff like oathsworn that will cleave through your ebin lines like a knife through butter, and being infantry heavy is mostly useless in Iberia. Then there's war on the sea.

Can't really say about romans in DeI as I just started it and I'm on the other end of the map.

But for that you again have auxilaries or whatever they are called.
You want bowmen? No problem get greece, egypt or parts of syria.
You want elephants dude? Not a problem at all man! Just go ahead get the seleucids.
You want strong cavalry? Well, Equites themselves are really strong, so there really is nothing you lack of. Besides the AI is a bit dumb and will recruit loads of crappy spearman, only maybe 1 or 2 units will be cataphracts or similar in a full stack. The rest will just be random crap for your princeps that can easily take care of them. That said the Oathsworn are not much of a problem either. You either outnumber them, attack with skirmishers or ride them down with cavalry. Not to mention that again, they only have 1 or 2 of those units.

So the fourth race for Warhammer II is Chaos Dwarfs or Skaven?

>Sinister plots and machinations
>>
>>180298231
Again, depends on when you go against the factions and how much they managed to blob before you went against them. I had a weak carthage that had been at one point reduced to a single region and then took them all back in a civil war with carthago nova. By contrast I had germanic NATO that soon started to field several stacks with several units of oathsworn-equivalents. Yes, you could manage that in the end because after all they still tried to do something you did better than them, but them having more stacks in every battle leveled the field.

>Equites themselves are really strong
Dude. They may be good enough for some slingers in iberia, but if you want good cavalry you either go socii (which admittedly can come without much trouble) or gaul nobles, assuming you started west.

It may just be me but I had the AI consistently field balanced armies when it could, and by the end game I had to deal with heavy infantry with supported by heavy cavalry with upgraded armor and weapons.

Is the money gained from making them a vassal worth the protection stuff you gotta do? Or should i just take flat money. Im trying to decide if i want to bother with that or not as i already got their sweet sweet harbor along with Gorssel for the providence unification but i have no interest chasing down the two settlements they still have as they will just be a hassle to defend once the chaos/norsca start wandering about.

One other question. What the hell is this "Man's Razed Settlements" deduction i have that has tanked my chivalry by 100? The only city ive razed was the Orc camp that starts nearby and that was supposed to give me 30 chivalry for doing that.

There's a mod for that

>>180306215
What I'm saying is that it wouldn't be TW anymore. It would be a company of heroes clone of some sort.

>>180306180
I mean, the problem with it is that if the game played like it does now for other TW titles, it would just be Empire or Napoleon with light infantry formations and no reload times. They'd end lightning fast. Therefore, I postulate that CA would adopt some sort of cover and defend system that would make rifle fire ineffective against troops in cover and artillery more important. Every match would just be a shell slinging fest until someone ran out of defenders and the guy with the most soldiers rushes him. In a 1v1, it could take an hour at most and in any battles larger than a 1v1, you might see it last for hours as players sling shells and inch their soldiers between cover. WW1 cannot be realistically portrayed in a TW setting and even with allowances made for gameplay, a turtle meta would still ultimately win out.

tldr; people will just trench camp and arty spam until the timer runs out

Hello, I'm new to Attila or just Total War in general, I was hoping I could get some tips on how to deal with certain issues I face.
- Migratory horsefuckers outrunning my army and sacking/looting my towns, what am I supposed to do about this?
- City planning, what to build where? For example I'm trying the Vetenians, the slavs with farming bonus, what do I build?
- The whole family/politics thing, wtf?
>>
any mods that make all the barbarian factions in Attilla go to war with each other after a time?

The late game after ERE and WRE are dead just looks like border gore where everyone is friends and its annoying as hell to fight against because its pretty much one massive country since everyone is alligned with everyone else.
>>
>>180286074
Thanks mate
>>
>>180310076
Best way to deal with nomads is to put heavy troops, especially ones with spears good armor and shields, and let them smash against you until they fucking die. Then you can push out and rape their remains.

Also if you have a farming bonus and want good AG then find places with high fertility and put farms there and towns that boost AG production and put characters that boost AG production in those provinces. Places with poor fertility either dont put farms there or ones that dont rely on fertility bonuses very much or place down building chains that boost fertility(mods help).

The family thing makes sense if you just read the shit. accrued by doing cool stuff or being in good postitions. One bar is your (royal) family's influence vs everyone elses, the other is your control over the governing body of the tribe/empire/kingdom You want these like 75% each but they dont matter unless they get too high or too low. They just have bonuses and penalties for what level they are.

never played the slavs myself, but I think they can build farms in shitty regions? Otherwise you never build farms in poor regions for example. Think about sanitation, most buildings give squalor, so keep a sanitation building with region bonuses in every region.

horsefuckers are beat by spear+archer. Just shoot them down with archers, slavs have posion archers which should be pretty good.

Family/politics isnt that important or hard, just make sure to not sink too low, gather power once ina while and make sure your king is actually doing shit. He'll get influence from victories etc.

Just harass them with light cav lad, you don't need to actually charge them as they'll run from your cav which will allow you to isolate them from the main force.

The Elector of Wissenland is Countess Emannuelle, yes. I don't think she leads troops, but it should have her pic in the diplomacy screen really. But yeah, is essentially a cut corner, but none of the other Electors have special models except Boris.

I really thought playable Elector Counts would be one of the first things CA released as DLC, I'm pretty surprised we're closing in on TWW2 with no sight of them.

>no gunpowder
takes 65 turns to research in Shogun 2, campaigns are either decided by that point or you turtled so there's only like 4 clans left

Otomo might be the exception but every other clan has to wait fucking ages if they want decent matchlock units.

>no conflict of religions
Game mechanics wise every single clan is the ikko ikki though, you still have that feel of spreading your influence throughout the land it's just tied to clan rather than religion.

The factions are more different imo because the campaign bonuses are waaaay bigger than what you get in vanilla shogun 2. Rosters are identical but most of the clan specific units in Shogun 2 are literally just a version of the base unit with +1 attack & defence anyway.

For rome 2, i use diplomacy mods, and some mods that take some attila features

I also use unit mods because i like stupid variety

The diplomacy and attila features mod make the AI much more war oriented and that's more fun. Vanilla is too easy diplomacy wise because it's really hard that you plans go to shit, you rarely have more than 2 front wars that get out of control. Radious is too much imho, it makes the game actually easier because of how much money you can get

Better AI recruitment and More AI Armies are good too, they make the AI create better armies which improves the difficulty of the game

If you want i can post some rome 2 mods i use with the links to the steam workshop

Okay lads, it's summer of 400 and I'm ERE. Sassania declared war on me a few turns ago and I've had the pleasure of seeing the Tanukhids and Sabirs devastate them and their allies in the Caucasus. Now that their king and prince, along with several Generals and field armies, have died in front of Basra in a catastrophic attempt to fight my armies around it, I think western Sassania is basically defenseless. I have besieged Cstesiphon with 5 legions and sacked the cities around it. The question is, do I take it and try and hold Iraq, or just sack it and keep devastating their country, and try and sue for peace in the meantime. So far these heathen cunts are totally unwilling to negotiate.

I'm just scared of having to waste manpower holding down Mesopotamia against their horrid Eastern Persian allies if I do just take all of it. I've totally rendered Africa and the balkans defenseless to deliver an overwhelming knock out to the Sassanids, even if temporary, and I can feel Germans and Bedouins beginning to look at my exposed borders with greed. But you'd say it's worth it to hold Iraq? And Western Iran?

Modded Tilea is the comfiest campaign.
Your core settlements are really hard to get to, and your closest neighbours are all friendly enough once the Broken Nose tribe is out the way. Then you can get down to the work of trading with everyone and snapping up the odd coastal colony a la the Venetian Republic.

The Grand Campaign in TWW2 is going to be fun when those colonies can be in the New World and there are ruins to loot.

>>180322065
the trick is to set your taxes to the second to highest tier and put two or three stacks through the province's settlements to maintain public order, after a few turn you should have no immigrants

You should actually be able to defend the majority of your provinces with garrison troops. Just block off the passes and ramps to your town center and flank with cavalry while in siege battles.
A half stack for quick relief is probably all youll need in Africa and the Balkans (provided there are threats near them of course).

As you say, I have one half stack rushing to Africa to put down a rebellion so I'm already on that in a way. I just really want this war with the Sassanids to end as quickly and decisively in my favor as possible, and that's my main concern, and annexations didn't seem practical. I don't want to end up like Julian's successor, militarily victorious in central Iraq but isolated and no peace in my favor in sight. What they have in store in Iran and further east I'm just expecting to burst forth and fuck me up at any moment. I still need to ruminate on what to do with my recent conquests of Arbela and Ctesiphon, as right now they're thoroughly sacked and at my mercy.

If youve got a lot of troops I would say just go Total War. Take what you need and burn down the rest, eventually theyll get the picture.
This way if they wont negotiate and youre locked in eternal war, you can slowly drive them back until they implode.
You can usually pull some diplomatic mumbo jumbo too, and either pull off some allies or get everyone you can to declare war on them. Even if theyre halfway across the world. Itll help pressure them and bleed out the large empires.

The older TW games are such a cake walk, and the AI just so absolutely retarded.

I find the reason why I can play and enjoy TWW, even though it also has some stupid easy ass AI, is because I look forward to getting late game troops that are so much fun to play.

The older TW games just dont do it for me anymore, the endgame is the exact same as the early game.

hey anon I have a story that may help you of my greatest campaign I ever had.
PT1:
Shortly after the release of the welfs(pre nerf) I had the best total wa campaign I've ever had. I was on vh as middenland and about 5 turns after the chaos tide hit. the green hitler unleashed the tree reich and flooded upwards northeast while the chaos burned and looted their way southwest. This meant no I. Was in a fuck you sand which which I'd never felt before. The remorseless were remorseless and would patiently wait 20 turns for my garrison to be reduced to 5% strength then hit it with 4 stacks of green reichs finest. I realised at this point there is nothing auto resolve can do, my finest armies, 2 steam tanks fell trying to save carroburgh as they pushed into middenland. Meanwhile chaos crept closer. Norscanfkooded nordland and Marie burg while chaos had burnt its way to the brass keep.
I was left with no income and 2 ragtag armies of incredibly damaged units, one basic swords and spears army, and the archlector who had been fighting back unsuccessfully against the green Reich, amongst his army was 2 mortars aheap of swords spears and xbows. 2 units of knights and 2 low hp tanks. The last chance elite unit I had after Boris fell in the defence of a nordland along with his retinue to massed chariots. Sutha esq would have been laughing.

RIP Sextus Balventius Perennis, hero of the Empire and savior of Britain - here is a shot of his skills I got before he died - he got the scar after a particularly close battle at Camulodunum.

Also give your thoughts on my army comp - this is what I'm planning on using for most of my armies, with the catafractarii swapped out for more equites promoti/the onager out for large onager. Unfortunately the WRE doesn't get armored saggitari, but crossbows have fuck you damage to make up for their shorter range

pt 2:
Throughout this I accepted there is no auto resolve gods to to help me from this. I had the nordland still, middenheim itself stood along with the entirety of the brass keep region at this stage. But the trees kept marching. They surged the town in underneath brass keep with 4 stacks then sent another 2 towards the keep itself. I knew I couldn't win this war of attrition d my archlector hid in the forests south of the keep and prepared a valiant ambush while my other army distracted one of the enemy stacks moving northwards.

It worked, I was able to defeat in the ambush the welfs army at the cost of one unit of knights and a few spears. I was down to 12 units. I then used the bait 'chump' army to systematically pull welfs forces towards my arch lector and replenished them by splitting some swords from the other army. I killed a generic dragon doomstack in another ambush. Lost a stank. This continued for 10 more turns or so.
Still. 3 full hitler armies sieging the town under brass keep. I knew I was fucked so I attacked to lift the siege in a desperate attempt. I was beaten back with a valiant defeat by the 3 stacks combined archer deathball with 10 dragons between them. Fucking nightmare.
No way I could defeat that in the open field. In the retreat the chump army. Fell leaving me with just the arch lector and his heavily depleted forces. I fellback to middenheim to replenish himself I finally had some cash from destroying armies(meanwhile all of my northern settlements and eastern and southwestern settlements are under constant attack from "rogue" welf sr,it's, chaos and norsca unending hordes.

pt3:
I should note at this stage I thought this specific archlector as recruited early on as a low level public order stabiliser. Until his town he was stationed in was destroyed. I named him Luthor Huss.

Back to the tale. Tree hitler attacked unvhzracteristicly early the town under the brass keep, I was able to kill to wound him and fell many dragons and a heap of archers with my weakened garrison before succumbing to mass terror routs. It fell. Just in time for me to see 3 chaos stacks making its way towards the welf spearhead at the ruins of my town. I lost Los of them.but in the following turn I saw tree hitlers army and move with a single stack of 10-15 damaged welves under Orion towards the brass keep.. I had an opportunity! Not to win mind you there were still multi elf doomstacks coming nonstop from the south which luthor and boris( who I finally had enough money to revive and rearm) were defending middenheim itself as the welves had pushed too far.
I had middenheim, the whole of nordland and the brass keep as my remaining settlements. Boris was entrenched in a siege battle so luthor went northward. Witha full army, now bolstered by the siege works(my only remaining high tier troop building, which remained in middenheim)
Luthor broke the siege of the brass keep after ambushing another welf army on the way to support the tree-rur . Then attacked. And won. The greatest of enemies had fallen. I knew I might just be able to win. I was still hemmed in on 3 sides, with a minor amount of settlements but luthor had struck down the foul bastards who destroyed his village and sent him upon this path. But it was not yet enough.

pic related is the fall of hergig, the town under the brass keep.

pt4: finale
The next 80 turns was absolutely mental, using ambushing and agents liberally I fought my way southwest towards the greatest of all trees. The wekves kept sending up 4 stacks worth of elite elves every 3-4 turns but I wa s able to seperate them with my heroagents via slowing. Luthor fough his way into the depths of that green forest and took it to the torch while Boris "badman" Toddbringer held the middenland and nordland from stacks of rogue welves that got through. All the chaos and all the Norse.


That's how I learned I appreciate campaigns that go wrong far more than a picture perfect campaign. Would you read a book where the main character always wins flawlessly and is never in any danger?

hope this helps convince people that a sterile autosaved campaign is not the best kind, it's shallow and plays out the same way.

I went and dug up the post you're talking about. Sounds cool, assuming it's true:

>Thoughts?
>Thoughts are that the map looks great and is filled with juicy lore goodies.

>Is the campaign map nice? Is it warhammer 1 dwarf/greenskin land quality? Or warhammer 1 human land quality?
>Better honestly. Ulthuan was fuckin amazing and looked really nice with the phoenix gates and blue gold towers of their cities. When it coasted over the sea into lustria you can see the vampire coast and skeggi. There was a crazy weird ship that looked like bone and I couldn't quite identify it. Armies can choose to plunder lost tombs and cities or colonize them I guess.

>Did you spot any of the rogue armies or Old World races on the map?
>I saw a rogue army led by a dark treeman. Didn't see any more than that though and it didn't show the units. I also saw an empire army and i looked slightly different from the regular general, could be estalian. Also saw a vamp army but they were attached to the city.

Good idea, even if I cannot hold it indefinitely, it's better I have Ctesiphon than they, ruined as it is. Regardless I'm finally gonna hit end turn, wish me luck. If I can avoid war as I have been I'll be able to cripple these sand heretics and take serious pressure off of myself. And I have been very lucky in this war as far as allies go. Abasgia, Lazica, and Kartli join me in Iberia and Caucasian Albania to hold off Arrange and the Person's allies. I was immensely lucky, the Tanukhids and Sabir both ironed out a non aggression pact with me, and proceeded to extinguish Armenia completely and raze several more Persian cities. Without that I'd have much more trouble on my hands I'd think, and I awarded the Tanukhids with central Armenia. If God willing I can now regroup Arcadius and my legions around Syria I'll be able to hold it against whatever the heathen sends my way and begin spreading my forced around, because I am lucky to the extreme the neighbouring Goths, Gepids, and Garamatians haven't taken advantage of the war to take a swipe at big daddy Roma.

Never played one of the horde factions in Attila. 2 questions. Can i play the Alans like a Bretonnia army and just be all horses? Or does that not really work all that well in this.

2nd is it ever a good idea to actually settle a city? There was a part of me that wants to roam Europe then eventually make my way to somewhere in Egypt or Spain and settle there.

Looking for some technical help. Recently ive been having some trouble with selecting units. Never had issues before, but my mouse doesnt seem to work with dragging a selection box.

its odd. clicking on individual units, dragging units out into formation, moving the mouse, ect. there is no issue. but when i try to drag a box, it just doesnt work. nothing happens.

also been having some sound stutters too but idk if thats related. anyone else have this issue? it makes battles really had since i cant select multiple units without clicking on them each individually.
>>
>>180340175
Building and firing a good siege weapon, even a smallish one it probably a pretty specialized skill. With practice you know what tools you absolutely want to have on hand ("7 inch nails are better than 5 inch ones, 3/8 inch diameter rope better than 1/2 inch" and so on) and how to improvise the stuff you use in the field better. Sure soldiers an learn it, but a group of guys who specialize in it probably has it's advantages.

Makes an interesting amount of sense after consideration.

True, and the 4th-5th century Roman military want nearly as specialized as it had been. Still, being able to build siege weapons on location over say, a turn, would probably be tedious as opposed to unrealistically dragging that shit everywhere for an attack on walls that very turn. Still we can imagine your artillery team you recruit builds the shit on site I guess.

There is really no reason not to burn your way across yurop and settle wherever you want

Because they aren't saying that, they are saying "I want them to put x in the game" when that would not make the game better, it would make the game worse.

You can't "not use" ten thousand small Bestmen """armies""" raiding in your territory so that you can 1 v 1 them with a cav unit after they run away forever and the game autosaves four times
You can't "not use" garrison buildings being worthless now because you can just quadruple the garrison and fight the equivalent of a field battle
You can't "not use" dumb unit snakes running across the campaign map to where they are supposed to be
You an't "not use" a single unit besieging one of your cities and damaging the buildings every turn

Total War is about massive battleS, yes, not about 1 v 1 unit encounters
The massive field battles would be less massive too when the AI could split up it's armies everywhere instead of keeping them concentrated

Garrisons are supposed to grow larger over time, through buildings that you upgrade to make the walls bigger as well so that you can fight siege battles

And how is any of that difficult? It's just annoying and bad game design, not at all difficult
"I have to send a single unit to make this one Orc unit go away" isn't difficult, it doesn't add anything

would making units without a general suffer attrition help? I mean it kind of makes sense, a few loan units operating without a command structure would have a bunch of desertion. But it would still let me detach my cavalry to raid areas like in Shogun 2, and I always have this image in my mind of an army routing and on the campaign map it splits into a bunch of individual units that all run away and can be chased down by cav or run off into the woods to slowly die of desertion unless another army close by could come in and regroup them.
>>
>>180352236
auto resolve would be bad for 1 v 1 unit fights, you would get far better results running your cav unit through the enemy archer unit

and it's not just about useless 1 v 1 fights with raiding enemy units that shit up your provinces, it's the whole rest of the game too
everything gets negatively impacted by your dumb feature
>>
>>180352301
You know what would be better than having them suffer attrition?

>but I loved getting my shit bombarded by a single boat in FotS
No you didn't

And the games changed in ways that make that accommodate that feature even less and make it even worse

Ultimately you could add a new feature that's somehow vaguely similar in spirit, but it would definitely be nothing like the old one because that was complete and total fucking dogshit

That's a completely separate issue you shiteater.
>>
>>180352524
Why are you only pointing out the extreme examples? There are plenty of smaller reasonable sized skirmishes you could fight. When the enemy is on the back foot perhaps that's all he could afford to immediately send out to the front? CA could simply fix the AI so they stay and base and build up to a minimum strength before setting off. You're being awfullt close minded. Are you a republican? I wouldn't be surprised.
>>
>>180352379
but with the current system, you end up with armies made up of the best of the best because there is rarely a reason to downgrade. With some ability to have lone units, or at least smaller armies that don't count against your general tally, you would have use for cheaper infantry that you don't want a part of your main force, but are useful to block areas, garrison, and reinforce as needed.

As of now, there is no reason to have pistoliers ever, but if you could detach them at will, they would be great for running around reinforcing multiple armies with their greater move range, and dealing with smaller beastman raids. It would add quite a bit, and the only thing they would need to figure out is a way for the AI to tend towards grouping up their forces.

I admit that the single boat bombardments and shit in shogun 2 were ridiculous, but it could easily be mitigated by taking away that function from non-general armies or some other way.

You are just gimping the whole thing to the point of being useless
"Oh the enemy army is the same but it doesn't have a general and can't use unit stances or besiege anything, cool" isn't a good feature

This is just a halfassed effort to give people their dumb feature, you still negatively impact the game and don't really make any of the "I miss unit snakes in Shogun 2" idiots happy either

Speaking of unit snakes, the way the Shogun 2 campaign map sort of railroads you along because Japan is so skinny is one of the reasons this shit would be even worse in the newer games

Unit progression is a thing in the game of course you wouldn't want to recruit shit tier early game units in the late game
Especially not to engage in 1 v 1 fights with a unit of goblin archers
>>
>>180351737

>unit composition? why bother when I can just spam 20 tanks!

>no it's not

Of course it fucking is, a single boat shouldn't be able to do such damage.
>>
>>180353102
>I don't see you coming up with any suggestions
The obvious suggestion is to not have that shit feature in any of the games, it's not that hard to comprehend

The tier system is a whole different thing we might agree on or whatever, but it's definitely not solved by having single units shit up the map
>>
>>180352917
I don't think it is useless. Just have general lead armies, and non general armies
>non general armies suffer attrition outside of home territory or a generals zone of control
>non general armies can only raid, no ambushes or besieging
>nga's have no limit and don't increase upkeep cost
>nga's have a 5-10 unit maximum instead of 20

With this, you could have most of the stuff people who want free unit movement want plus it would add to the game in the ways I've already mentioned, and could also be used to make rebellions/raids/beastmen/waaaghs better.

Instead of A.I. waaagh armies, it would spawn one of these halfstacks, beastmen raiding forces could spawn more frequently without it being unbalanced because they couldn't take the city, only fuck up public order and steal wealth until dealt with.

>>180352548
bretonia, welves and orcs are quite fun

oh and raiding for non general armies would have to be like the raiding camp from orks so they can't move and are easy to chase down if you focus them, so they either stay and fight or run and die of attrition.

When you're being artificially constrained to limited troop numbers your only option as you expand is to upgrade the quality of your troops.

Just imagine the possibilities it opens up.

you are autistically obsessed with the word "single unit"

Nobody wants that back, we just want to be able to split our forces and have a few small skirmishes between 5-10 units because it isn't worth committing your entire force.

People have given various suggestions to mitigate the problems it caused in older games, but you keep coming back to this stupid single unit vs single unit argument like that is what we all want back.

No, because I'm that person and it's not a single unit it's a shit ton of them making their way across skinny Japan
Unit snakes are bad and shouldn't make a comback.

I just feel like to make this thing not shit you need a unit minimum, and at that point you can't break of a single unit of cav or whatever

Also I'm opposed to using them as garrisons

Encountering a full enemy army with your mini stack (or the other way around) doesn't seem fun either, especially if your units start out with the "no general" morale penalty

>Encountering a full enemy army with your mini stack (or the other way around) doesn't seem fun either, especially if your units start out with the "no general" morale penalty

I don't know, I like to play out massacres every now and then, either to have a little fun destroying a weaker force or try to get as many kills as possible in a last stand.

In the end I think the more likely scenario would be mini stacks vs mini stacks or armies reinforced with mini stacks allowing for huge battle lines of cheaper infantry or large reinforcing cavalry and so on.

With proper AI and mechanics like attrition, it would tend more towards making big battles bigger and skirmishes more important/equal because you wouldn't have to send your entire army to deal with a tiny remnant of a beaten army for instance.

Alright friends, looks like this discussion is over

We can all agree that there is a good feature to be found in the "armies without a general idea" but that it would need a lot of work and that just having single units run around the map is a bad idea

That concludes today's discussion/shitposting! Have a nice one!

Garrison buildings are fucking bullshit and you don't get to customize the composition to fit the situation. If we have garrison our own cities it would mean that enemies striking deep into your lines pose a much bigger threat, and you actually have to think about where you allocate your resources.

Why on earth would I make my mini stack full of shit units instead of the good ones though
There's a good idea somewhere there but with unit minimum that I really would want in there to avoid one unit raiding and besieging stuff and all that I don't know how much sense it makes to have that in at all
You might have 10 unit maximum (and five unit Minimum) armies with a hero unit like a witchhunter or whatever as general or something

At some point I don't see the reason to ever use a mini stack if it's just a shittier version of a real army in every way

Oh also about the garrisons

I already never see defensive siege battles in Warhammer as is, me upping the garrison to 20 and sallying out when I get besieged would make that even rarer
The building chain with higher walls and garrisons would be a complete waste of time money and a building slot
>>

don't listen to that fagg, there is no build planing in this game, and without that you can't fight against demigryphs or steam tanks

>>180354446
you could incentivize it with upkeep reduction for low tiered units or penalties for higher tiered units or something, but the best uses for mini stacks all would be better with low cost cheap units than high cost elite ones.

>raiding you want the smallest cost to biggest unit size to get the most out of the raiding income
>garrison you just want public order benefits and enough troops to man the wall because you don't need too many elite troops due to the nature of seiges and how it always ends up in fighting over a few chokepoints
>chasing down weakened enemies you don't need too many great units
>reinforcing your main army I personally would just want a mini stack of shitty infantry to create a big ass battle line so I have more room to maneuver my elite units around to get local superiority but I could see wanting to just basically use it to get a crap ton of elite units.

>>180354652
I get that building mainly for the better defense towers so I'd still build it, but you are right about defensive sieges almost never happening. I wish that would get fixed.

Some techs in shogun 2 are gamebreaking broken such that researching them is basically a win condition.

With the Infamous Mizu Shobai District in a province with the Ninja speciality and a Burakumin Village you can directly hire rank 5 Ninjas for only 500 money each. Give them all assassin traits and they have >50% chance to assassinate everything including maxed level Daimyo and Metsuke.

I haven't played anything other than shogun 2, but I don't think I have ever had problem with "armies without general" here, sometimes honma fuckers invade you with small force but it's natural in that game to get invaded that way after realm divide.

Small navies are other thing, they're infuriating.

Or maybe I am blind to some aspect of the game? Enlighten me kind anons

You're supposed to use all your starting money in the first turn to hire even more troops and then use them to wipe out two enemy factions in the first 10 turns after that maybe capture a few rebel towns then disband almost everything. Only keep one general or normal unit in each town and press the end turn button 50 times to get out of the debt.
Then spend the next 100 turns to build up your economy and you will finally swim in money and can get a new army.
