/twg/ - Total War General

Fight with us! Not against!

If you slay a horseman during battle, and by some manner capture his horse, will you be able to make the horse your friend and ride it, or will the horse always see you as the killer of its rider?

History is shit meme and needs to die.

depends how the horse is trained, if the horse is completely broken(basically without any free will) then sure, but those horses would make the worst warhorses as they never 'take the initiative'

it might very much be the case if some lads incredibly well trained warhorse is suddenly without it's owner then it'd bite your face off or kick your shit in, as it had been trained to take the initiative and do.

The dagestan thing happened every time though(in various degrees). Not even vanilla Empire had native americans trading one of their provinces for Greece. Also Darth just hastily strapped together a bunch of unit packs so you get clones of the same unit(literally having the same name and look).

Gelt spent the entire battle fighting, went 1vs1 against the enemy general then launched himself onto a blob.

Trait gained at the end: Fearful

If I just crash him facefirst against the enemies for a few battles will he gain the courageous trait or whatever to nulify fearful?

depends on the game, but mostly just no savescumming, no minimap, no pause, larger public order penalty, more morale debuffs for you and morale buffs for the enemy

its pretty fun, the only downside is that not being able to move the camera around during pause means you cant take screenshots

I could beat that in the field but add his garrison and I cant keep up. The upkeep on my army is killing me even if it is amazing.

Is it just destroyign Templehof and then taking on Mannfred?

>>181531669
Imperial is usually harder, the other Imperial factions get their shit pushed in early on which means you have to do all the work.

>>181531760
You could try sicc the two of them against each other, then take on the weaker one. At same time raiding the mountain jews for some cash is encouraged.

>>181518243
I think burning all your churches is the best way to start for the income boost, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have to drop the religion. Just ditch the churches then slowly build them back up as your economy improves.

Take Drakenhof turn 2-3. You will need to raise dead in stirland and both sylvanias, and I believe it's easier to do with Isabella's starting force but it's been a while since I've done it.

If you can, Confederate the other LL before he gets his quests. The free amber from their quests helps off set the amber from their settlement. But yeah, wait on the side two until you have a military alliance with a superpower.

>>181527401
Try putting them in a wider formation. If they're in a deep formation it might take a while before they start firing, since the most distant models must get the enemy in their range. Not all ranged units work like this (some only use the closest model's range to determine if they can fire), but some do, for example mounted yeomen archers.

The real slap in the face is that they DID make one of the old animated unit trailers with a bit of concept art and a lore voiceover before a brief animation, in the beginning of the WH2 info period for the temple guard lizardmen unit. Must have made that one then decided to drop the format in favor of these shitty model showcases.

Can someone give me a run-down on the Belegar campaign? Seems cool I might buy it.

Yet sacking and razing is an option...

Do you think men in Ancient Greek times went through some weird psychological shit after growing up?

Like, you spend a good portion of your youngling years getting rammed up the ass by adults, but when you're an adult you're expected to be the one ramming? What if you developed a taste for it? Were there male hookers who got payed to fuck adult men who got desperate for cock?

>>181540406
Which decreases chivalry you idiot

>>181540406
CA unfortunately bowed down to the unchivalrous fanbase and included the options. At least the options decrease chivalry, as they should.

Though I suppose they could have named a "sack and occupy" option as "oppress and occupy" with a far larger public order conquest penalty for non-Bretonnian settlements.

>Empire run

It looks a bit thin to be Araby.
Even accepting they're going to shrink Araby a lot for the map, it doesn't really have a peninsula, it's a big round lobe like northwest Africa.

That said, it's in about the right place and the island off to the right could be the Sorcerer's Isles.

>>181552579
Actually, I lie. Looking at the context it's off the west coast of Ulthuan, exactly the wrong side for it to be Araby.

It might be the Yucatan peninsula equivalent or the 'horn' of Lustria.

I know to the right of it is lustria. And it looks like the tip of araby where the mountains are. They could've shrunk the continent a whole lot. Theirs also an army there in the trailer.

The camera shot is panning round Ulthuan anti-clockwise.
1:11 is Lothern
1:38 is the White Tower of Hoeth
1:56 is Chrace
2:03-15 are four fortress gates, so the last one is the Eagle Gate to the direct west.

So the last shot is looking pretty much directly south.
So if it is Araby, then there are parts of Araby that are west of Ulthuan. Which would be really fucking weird. But I guess it could be.
