antiochus was a disreputable shitposter in twc, who was basically lolcow and also shared the name with a meme-worthy king.
pontus is from the days when people were so hyped up about rome 2's details before release that confirming pontus before some more prominent factions was considered ridiculous.

so no, not like pontus or antiochus at all.

Could someone explain to me how the hell Archaon and Sigvald have the same amount of armor? Sigvald literally has a piece of cloth draped over his bare crotch for protection. You'd think someone would eventually figure to kick him in the balls like they did with Archaon.

>>180937368
shitty units with a few exceptions but they get superior numbers+ much faster replenishment

>>180937484
Why do you think it's bait? It would be just like the theatres in Empire.

>>180937368
The laziest way to do it (and therefore the most likely) is to have a sort of creep on the map, representing the tunnels that spread out from any skaven cities, which spreads over time. As long as your army's within the creep, you can ignore terrain and probably get some sort of bonus or an easier time ambushing people or some shit.

>>180937576
I think you're putting wayyy too much faith into CA

>>180937706
It isn't that complex; it would literally just be a bunch of tunnels, not a whole other campaign map.

>>180937694
They are just going to have "tunnel walk" or whatever and it's going to be another reskinned underpass.

>>180937813

>>180937273
Yeah but that's in the Old World, aka Game 1.

Maybe they'll have that one swamp part of the old world as part of Game 2.

>>180937368
>>180937694
OH, also skaven slaves. Lots and lots of skaven slaves. Maybe a spell that spawns the fuckers or you just get 5 units of the fucking things for free at the start of each battle. I dunno, maybe even make it like a banner, where you attach a unit of slaves to a unit of soldiers, in any case, some token unit, which doesn't take up a slot and allows you to bring in a bunch of cannon fodder, which you can use to bog down cavalry and shit, while your jezzails shred everything. Including the slaves.

>>180936947
To be honest I think the all expansion is fucking skaven and his mechanics plus 3 other races

>>180937308
talking about the geomantic web, lords being locked behind certain things(like need influence to get some of th ehigh elf lord or needing to build/research something for the lizardmen to get slan), the raiding tombs thing where you can decide if you want to settle their or just take what you're found, the vortex in general. stuff like that

>>180937368
considering what they've done with the high elfs and the lizardmen I think it's gonna be something bigger than just a new stance. but I don't think they'll introduce an underground map as much as I want one.
this >>180937436 would be the ideal thing but I doubt it'll happen.

There's a rat in the trailer and the marks of several skaven clans in the promo materials. The fluffy little shits are in whether you like it or not.

Also, how the fuck would you even implement the tomb kings? They're undead, they can't reproduce, but they're also not necromancers in the traditional sense. They can't raise other races as skeletons and shit, like the vampire cunts can, they can only raise their own dead. Which means they basically have a limited number of people available.

It is autumn 240 BC and after 30 years of uninterrupted bloodshed, the first and only Punic War finally came to a close after Carthage butter refusal to accept honorable peace terms after the Republic conquests of Africa, Numidia, and Mauretania.

Spain look peaceful, being shared by two tribes both were eager to trade and no hostility is expected. North and east are protected by good friend Epiros, while not allies, those Greeks share valuable trade and military access with Roma making this flanks secure and bringing peace of mind to the senators.

No, Rome only problem lies further east beyond the ocean; Egypt accepted Phoenicians coins in the openings of the Punic war and has since become a constant thorn in Roma ambition, never accepting a single peace deal after sending fleets and armies into watery depth or fertilizers for Africa fields.

For now, Rome finally knows peace after more than two generations of war -neither of which were started by the Republic, Syracuse declared war, Carthage declared war- and the question remains. Where? Should Roma go after its great enemy beyond the waves or expand closer to home, somewhere secure?

Divide et Impera with a few tweaks (softcore, gladiator and no public order penalty for garrison). The reason why I didn't steamroll Carthage is that Egypt kept being a pain in my ass, forcing me to invest in a full fleet to protect Italia so I had only two legions to fight Carthage for the longest time.

I have about 10k income now and I'm tempted to finish out my second fleet and invest in a third one while raising one more Legion to go out there and teach this blue fuck a lesson, but manpower could prove a serious issue.

The sight of yet another Egyptian transport fleet prove to be the last straw for 3/4 of Roma senators; everyone wants peace after Carthage unending war but these damnable whoresons of mixed bloods understand nothing of civilization, it is as if they've taken Carthage coin as some kind of oath. No more.

With Spain and Italia borders relatively secure, Legion 1 in Spain will be downsized and the men have their reward of peace and lands.

Legio V Africa is now besieging the belligerent tribe of Augila for a beachhead in Libya while two legions are heading back toward Italia for upgrades and Roma fleets will now put a stranglehold to any advances of the Pharaoh.

The Republic only want peace but the Pharaoh refuse, it's as if he's a Phoenician!

use rangers with GW's instead of archers. You don't need archers to attack infantry as dwarfs, you need a ranged unit that's designed to kill cav & monsters as fast as possible, with no care for range given how the monsters & cav will be charging straight into your ranged units.

Take Slayers & Great weapon rangers and your backline is now designed to murder anything thrown against it, which is usually most of the enemy armies budget.

>>180944998
Blood and Gore is a must

Only get Wrath of Sparta if you're a gay faggot who has a child-like hard on for Spartan memes

Get daughters of mars if you're not bothered by fantasy womyn wuhrrors in your historical game

I'd advise against Beasts of War

The mini campaigns are shit, only get them if you want those specific factions on the grand campaign

The faction packs are very subjective imo, depends on which factions you're actually interested in playing as, for example, if you're not interested in playing as the Scythian don't buy the Nomadic tribes pack and so on, regardless if you get them or not you won't be lacking any content in the main game besides the chance to play as those specific factions

I lost a great battle today my friends

the pride of my Carthago Hispania is gone

Treachery! After a year of hard siege and just about ready to meet Augila desperate assault, Sextus Volusenus Catulus witness these once subjects of Rome -who had been so graciously liberated- breaking their alliance and wait right here for his legion defense... He knows that a preemptive attack against them would hurt Rome prestige in the eyes of the world but with two full legions on their ways, Sextus frustration boils for he, too, wished his piece of glory by providing Rome with their vanguard against Egypt.

His men may be Africans and Libyans but by Jupiter good name he is a true Roman as well! These damnable sand savages will be pacified, glory will come with these additional battles. To war against traitors!

Did i dwarf good.

And just cause im curious. When faced against an army your outnumbered by alot what formation you tend to use when starting out?

I won that using a sorta half circle like camp. But im never sure if there is a better way to line up for battles where your gonna let the enemy come at you.

>>180954545
I usually corner camp

>>180954545
Dwarfs don't really have a better option since they have exactly one squishy unit that can screen their flanks like factions with cavalry can.
You can see this in multiplayer, artillery isn't strong enough to eliminate threats before they reach your lines and the best dwarf build is to just sit in a blob with runesmiths and spam buffs to attrition things out

>>180951704
It's cool.

Quick battle means that dwarfs will nearly always encounters armies designed to fuck over dwarfs which nearly always means lots of cav/ fast monsters which makes stuff that's great at killing those really effective.

Rangers are great as well just for stalk shinannegans. I've nearly killed Karl on Deathclaw when he was just flying over my army to scout before because he kept trying to retreat over more hidden GW rangers.

>>180954545

Have another, friend. She defends the Glory that is Rome.

So if I understand this correctly, in TWW the correct way to build in settlements (atleast when playing as Empire), is to "specialize" certain settlements towards a certain end, for example Altdorf towards the training of Halberdiers and Empire Knights, and some other settlements towards artillery weaponry, while others for money generation? Or does for example a blacksmith not need to be in the same settlement as the one settlement with a building required to unlock the recruitment of a certain troop type?

I don't think they'll have Under-Empire.

I think, best case scenario, they'll have a mechanic where skaven armies are naturally in a constant ambush position, can replenish and recruit in enemy cities and can launch unique assaults on them where they start from the center and branch outward (or something similar), and may be able to have a stance where they set up an underground settlement (but underground isn't actually shown and if someone finds and attacks them the battle map will be underground at the very least.

Assuming anyone in this general still has time for old-ass game mods with all the sequels flying around, has anyone been keeping an eye on Hyrule: Total War? I remember playing it a while ago, and despite having some really interesting ideas and factions, it was too plagued by crashes and janky balance for me to keep up with it.

So I started a new Rome campaign in Rome 2 with mods, just some changes over vanilla, mainly roster overhauls, better campaign AI with better recruitment, 4tpy, major factions guaranteed, and some attila public order/imperial/corruption changes

The year is 267 B.C, I used my all first 25 money income turns in bribing the northern gallic factions in alliance to form a natural barrier against Arverni and Germania, so i could focus on Carthage and the Greek States for getting dat income

As you can see from the pic, I have an alliance with Raeti, Veneti Nori, and Boii, and neutral with Liguria but with friendship status. Everyone else is at war with me, except for eastern factions, some iberian factions, and some undiscovered ones. Helvetti got wiped out by Liguria

I had to do this otherwise gallic factions roll me in less than 50 turns in a big ass confederation (Insubres get allied with Veneti, Liguria gets wiped out, Insubres get allied with Helvetti, and Helvetti gets allied with everyone, so everyone declares war on you in 1 turn), we will see what happens, Carthage already took a lot of Africa so now an invasion seems the next step

I'm really torn between handgunners and crossbowmen.
I feel like I get more mileage out of crossbowmen because they can fire over my troops and much faster. They're great for routing enemy missile units in 2 volleys. I know they aren't shit against dwarfs though.
Also I feel like it's a waste to have handgunners if all they do is stand in front of your troops, fire 2 volleys, and retreat and be useless because you have cav flanking while they take forever to get around.

So sell me on handgunners. Am I using then wrong?

Crashes have been mostly resolved as far as I can tell. The creator is pretty burnt out on getting the campaign balanced and factions working, and has delegated that stuff to volunteers. I think all he really wants to do is make new units and new skins for existing units, and of course his feature-length cinematics for the combined-title story he's developed.

I'd be pretty surprised if Nephilim ever stopped making this stuff, but then I doubt he'll get around to the additional Hyrule settings he promised (and made cinematics for) without a proper team.

>>180970194
Im not too experienced but I believe for handgunners youre supposed to clear your flanks and put them around your opponents front line (with some support). Just in general you want them in gaps where they can get a direct line of sight onto some enemy. Either that or put them on a hill so they can shoot over your troops.

So the siege end, losses are monumental with the second Legion all but crippled and perhaps forced to go back into Italia for reinforcement. Let these barbarians scums understand the price of betrayal.

>>180970194
You should have two units of handgunners in your army. Use it against monsters, heroes, lords, use them on flanks if they don't have cavalry and dogs. If they do pop your hero/lord in front of them to trap the enemy and just mow him down.

I did a gunpowder army once, 4 tanks [since that's by the lore] 2 hellblaster, 2 mortars 4 free company 1 hellfire rocket battery and rest handgunners.

The tanks make the strategy possible since they trap the enemy in front of the firing squad.

Capturing the Pharaoh Polybolos in his first battle proved a boon for Sextus, who promptly used ti to pepper the enemy elephants into a panic but, as always, the Pharaoh's subjects never give an inch despite being outmaneuvered at every turn.

Is there a mod for enabling RoR without the DLC?

I need Ghorgons for beastmen. They and Skaven are two my favourite races.

Are there any mods that allow different cities in a confederation to keep their original flag? It rumbles my autism that Bretonnian dukes adopt your flag when you confederate.

Reports come from Egypts positions and all of them are grim, by all accounts dislodging his ''celestial majesty'' from these storied cities will prove even harder than handling Carthage.

CELTIC WARRIORS.

New to TWW, only ever played Rome 1. Playing my first dorf campaign on easy cause I'm a scrub.

120ish turns in and finally wiped out the greenskins, moving to destroy the last few holdouts of the savage orks. Haven't had to fight the empire once and only brief skirmishes with VC due to some military alliances/grudges. Beast me showed up briefly but weren't a problem.

Who should I play next after I wrap up this campaign?

>>180979226
The Empire!

>>180979226
KARL
FRANZ

>>180979226
I went for the empire after the dorfs but got kind of bored of them since they dont excel at anything. I then grinded through a painful beastmen campaign and now am enjoying the vampire counts a ton - so thats who I recommend..

>>180979226
Seeing as you've done Dwarfs I'd go for something radically different like Vampire Counts or Beastmen. Go from holding the line with beard and axe to smashing it with unholy abominations. Variety is the spice of (un)life.

To respond against this entrenchment the Senate proposes to mount a new legion under Pacuvius Afranius Corvus, recently adopted into the Nobilis, by far the single most influent politic entity of the Roman Senate for it was their previous leader -claimed by old age- who managed to conquer Carthage.

Legion 3 will be back soon for proper reinforcement, depleting Libya manpower is simply out of the question.

These are going to be long preparation, with the front in Libya thankfully more than safe with two legions. Sextus never ending hunger for Glory will have to wait.

>>180979226
Brettonia are a good antithesis of the dwarf style. Plus you get to be on the other side of the map, badlands get dull as fuck and for that reason i would not suggest doing orcs next.

>>180979226
Either Vampire Counts or Empire.

I hope skaven will have a shit army so all the memers rage
