Aside from "raze everything", you mean?

>>181129925
It's not really an objective. More like developer saying to you "agh, I have no time to entertain you, so just walk aroud, I don't know, maybe raze some shit".

>>181129618
>>181129883
Objectives with unique fucking maps with gimmicks like siege cannons and a keep to fall back in for Middenheim, Praag and Altdorf.

I wonder why CA hates making maps so much, especially ones that aren't 90% flat grassland.

>>181130139
>I wonder why CA hates making maps so much, especially ones that aren't 90% flat grassland.
Because they need to be tested if they're not simplistic, and that means time and money spent on something that might not even turn up in a lot of people's campaigns.

>>181129725

Go with Shogun 2. Only DLC worth getting is FotS and possibly Hattori and Ikko-Ikki.

the Ice-queen of Kislev is a hag, she would rather Chaos raze her lands than let us adventure through them safely, she thinks I desire her lands, I do not, I am the emperor, and although I have added slyvania back to the empire, I will not go beyond that. So to prove my worth we shall attack this band of beastmen that charge around and raid Kislev, hopefully then we shall be allowed safe passage, allowing for our supply lines to be organised, and chaos to be put off.

Wait isn't it the same for Attila? Like of you took crosbows against armoured units would they cut through them? Weren't the Persian archers weak to armor or do they have an arrow type that makes them super effective against it?

most of the time yes

it makes sense tho, she is normally quite harsh because of how easily she could actually be outplayed and her kingdom defeated, also any imperial general could suddenly turn outto be a chaos suppourter so it's justified

It's because they're Imperial, isn't it?

It really goes down to what you're interested in, there's a lot of variety.

Stainless steel for vanilla+, broken crescent for crusades, bellum crucis for the M2 EB, but poor translation I heard. Before warhammer TW came out the WH mod was pretty good, lots of content, but unstable as fuck even after many fixes. Thera was quite good if a little simple and easy, mainly because it was very stable.

Then there's stuff like napoleonic warfare or 30 years war, you name it.

I'm still not sure that elves are balanced

Not referring to WH2 here, people bitch at DLC in general when they add content that you will use and be interested in, it's better than buying a whole exp pack for maybe a couple of features while you don't care about the rest or, like M2, where you actually don't care about the content at all.

Only plebs like cannons, mortars can be used throughout the whole battle whilst Cannons need elevation and their guards will then be far away from the main army which means they can't reinforce the front line.

Just a bronze age total war would be nice if it had really deep campaign mechanics to make up for limited rosters. The factions are pretty damn colourful as well and it could have an apocalyptic feel ending with the eruption of Thera and Doric invasions. A biblical campaign dlc is unlikely but would also be quite interesting with a detailed map of the middle east.

Kekistan is such a genius concept.

For so long 4chan has suffered from a horde of 13 year olds from reddit and 9gag who heard of 4chan, some wonderous place where you could meme and be as edgy as you like without consequence.

They got /b/ and /pol/, but at some point some absolute god decided to come up with the absolutely worse meme ever devised, something that can be used as both a test and an identifier to weed out all the teenagers.

The republic great conquest of Alexandria and subsequent ousting of the Pharao seat of power resulted in the entire middle east uniting against the legions expansions into rich Aethiopia, as if afraid of the second coming of Alexander.

Egyptians armies have gained a second wind and an elite seleucid detachment is seen on Roma border while below Arabians incursions continue without end.

The silver lining for this lack of expansions lies in slaves, with all those victorious battles Rome economy has been bolstered by all these Arabs captives and this has lead to the birth of a new strategy after two seasons of intense debates amongst the senators.

Roma 3 elites legions are to stay to safeguard Alexandria and attempt to capture Aethiopia while if opportunity allows, attempting a liberation of the Jews in Jerusalem against Roma overwhelming foes and use the Nile as a natural border. Italia and Syracuse will see the mustering of 3 full legions to answer Epirios aggression, the Greeks having declared a new war in Arevaci to conquer the rest of Spain. This will mark Roma largest show of force in its history and indeed, perhaps the entire world.
