I really love TW: WH. Probably my favorite total war but I with they had a better ending. Only getting a small text box at the end of a long Campaign is really disappointing. A small cut-scene for each race would've been cool.

History and fantasy living in harmony and all the nice posters are good lads.

>>181975783
yeah, its pretty retarded, how hard is it to have a few still images with some generic narration over them?

>>181975783
Even a general cutscene where the advisor sits back, and does an Oscar performance where he's a first smiling, then sobbing, then gradually turns into a maniacal laugh.

>>181975853
who the fuck is krell supposed to be anyway?

>>181975783
Let's hope it's something they changed in WH2. It's been brought up quite a few times in various places so I don't see CA being unaware of the complaint.

>>181975783
Yeah it's stupid as hell. A lot of total wars didn't have an amazing ending video, but at least it was something. Hopefully they add it in TWW2 since so many fans have complained about it. It's not super important, but it's a nice tiny dessert.

I think Vercingetorix had a battle against Caesar in another city (Gergovia) where caesar had really high losses, so that made him convinced that probably getting sieged while he waited was a good idea since Caesar would have had big casualties again, would have been short on supplies and would have eventually lost the attrition war

Romans inside improvised fortification and spread thin all around its border while enemy is pushing from both sides at the same time and yet somehow Gauls didn't manage to break at multiple points.
But yeah, true about proffesional soldiers vs peasants.

alright just completed dwarf long campaign on normal. Who should I play next, should I raise the difficulty? The only time I had trouble was when I got attacked at the very south of the badlands by three stacks of norscans and up north by 4 stacks of chaos at the same time, was pretty fucked up

It is now July, a chill wind blows in Naggaroth but the sea of malice is beginning to thaw. From Ghrond, a messenger comes bearing word of an ancient prophecy involving the lands of far Lustria. The Hag Queens offer many sacrifices to Khaine to gain more of his favour. Meanwhile the Druchii of Clar Karod whip their slaves ceaselessly in preparation for the Witch-Kings coming campaign.
A great fleet is being assembled for but one purpose, domination by a best elf soon!

>>181985652
>>181983468
>>181982908

Roman fortifications were really good, with several layers of traps, spikes and deep engineering stuff

The video leaves out a detail though, the gauls amassed their troops in that place because a river went through there so probably fortifications weren't that developed there

But yeah, Julius Caesar was incredible lucky to have such veteran army, i mean no other army would be able to pull that shit off

>>181984934
>The Gauls were just people.

Heavily demoralised ones at that, at least inside. Watching their families cut down before their eyes in a no mans land just because they hardly had any food.

Vercingetorix must have been a shell of a man when Caesar finally got around to executing him years later.

>>181985652
>improvised fortification

I don't think you get the extent of the fortifications, they dug up huge trenches that they filled with the river, they built a big ass palisade all around the city with a ton of rakes to prevent charges, they built towers and they dug pits that they filled with spikes.

They dug and built more than they fought. That's the the true power and revolution of the Roman army. They're fully independent and adaptable.

you need to keep your power balanced. The greater the mismatch, the higher the chances that things will go wrong. Just use all that influence to secure the loyalty of your key generals and governos

well in this instance, what you usually want to do is check who is getting married/the traits of the bride - what I usually do is allow the marriage if the wife has good traits, and intervene if the wife has bad traits or I have specific plans in place for whoever is getting married (marrying them into the family)

Influence is the currency you use to do political actions (assassinations adoptions etc) with characters, characters gain influence at different rates.

I'm not exactly sure what power represents (even though I've put over 200 hours into the game) but my best guess is that the less power you have over your nation the less loyalty your generals and characters will have on average. If a character becomes disloyal they'll rebel and try to build their own faction.

You might not want to intervene because the wife might have traits that make your husband a better character or you might want to intervene because she's a horrible ugly bitch that nobody likes.

arrange them in the order you want, and then shift click from the leftmost unit to the rightmost unit and drag them in a line. This typically only works on the deployment screen though, as during battles the game prioritizes movement orders based on proximity

in tabletop saurus were basically orcs but harder hitting with better armor, and skinks were annoying little bags of shit that would just screen off and poison everything to death with blowpipes, and the slann was one of the best casters in the game.

The required rituals you need to do are just going to end up basically being the same thing as "I'll choose to conquer in this direction today" that you'd get from any other TW. Difference is now you'll be working towards a more specific goal once you head into said direction, and so on for the other various rituals.

>>181996457
TWW has shit replayabilitly compared to some of the other games imo

>Empire starts are similar to the point where their exact starting moves are exactly the same up to capturing marienburg
>limited diplo options means you typically have the same enemies/friends
>shield of civilization means that you will get military alliances/confeds w/ ease every playthrough
>limited areas of occupation means that you will end up controlling the same territory w/ every playthrough
>Bretonnian starts are railroaded through the greenskin incursion events
>>unless you are playing louen, in which case you always want to make the same starting moves in regards to the orcs/marienburg
>chaos invasion is really samey and underwhelming, since they hate conflict and will run from your armies
>choosing a different ll has you start in the same spot/doesn't change gameplay much for most factions

Thankfully CA seems to be addressing some of this in the sequel by allowing all factions to conquer where they please, and by giving different lls different starting locations

>Venice and Sicily are defensive allies, and both seem unwilling to break that alliance for $$$
>I need to occupy Sicily's territories for my kingdom mission

>Simply declaring war on sicily and conquering/subjugating venice triggers my autism since I have great relations w/ Venice right now and a diplo marriage as well

Right now the ideal way to go about this seems to be to wait until Venice gets a new ruler and hope they are greedy, but that would get rid of the diplo marriage and trigger my autism again

So, after the defeat I had yesterday, I managed to get another big army of 40 units or so, I also have another army of 10 units in Rome with a garrison

The big defeat I had yesterday made Nori take Velathri with almost no losses, but since Insubres army got wiped out in the battle, Massilia took both towns in Cisalpina, wiping out Insubres AND made Raeti their client state, so Massilia is really saving my ass at the moment. I also managed to convince Arverni to join me as a defensive ally so If i can wipe Nori I would have a pretty stable campaign

I'm now waiting for Nori to make their move, either leave Patavium undefended so I can attack, or leaving Velathri undefended so I can take it back, or just attacking Velathri despite the army

>>182006038

>>182008207
Pro tip Once you go republic, vassalize every possible province. You'll gain an honor and a unit. The province will immediately declare war next turn. It should be an easy auto resolve fight. Now you can loot the province.

It'll cost honor, but you just gained one. and now you have anywhere from 20-40 000. to spend on your repairs and recruitment.

you also need to build those 6 provinces up to near max before getting max fame. and it'll keep your honor neutral so you don't make people unhappy with shit honor.

its a bit slower, but you'll need it once all of japan declares war.

Also you can protect important ports from bombardment by clever placement of fleets, and you can even wall off areas of the map. holding the seto inland sea with just a couple of ships at each straight can save you a lot of headache.

Aww shit, that's fuckin' gromril. I need to start thinking like that.

>>182009915
They fill a role, but honestly i found the melee cav, sabre and spear were both really interchangeable.

cav units are all kinda weak and i get that 1 on 1 yari ki beat sabre cav, but i almost never fight straight cav engagements since its a waste of cav, cav in empire, napoleon and FotS is best used to sneak up on and hit enemy guns or hit the infantry line in the rear when they're engaged in a shooting fight with your own infantry. And then pursuing down any fleeing units.

I'd only send melee cav in on melee cav if

1. It was absolutely necessary to secure a flank
2. their cav manages to make it to my own lines and i need a quick reserve force.

Anyone got any tips on how to get my people happy again in Napoleon? I'm playing as Russia and the Ottomans declared war on me so I took one of their places, and they're being real uppity. Moldova rebelled but I squashed it fairly quickly, but I don't want to have to deal with this shit once I get deeper into Ottoman territory.

>>182010769
Yeah I pretty much agree

cavalry in fots is a bit underwhelming in actual combat, but they are pretty amazing for chasing down troops

on a related note, are guards infantry armed with rifles?

>>182011758
I think they're armed with breech loading rifles. so great reload rate.

>>182011758
Oh and they're also immune to attrition. but i think you're only limited to 6.

>>182011758
I need to clarify. when i said weak i meant low model count low hp means they die quickly to bullets and cannons.

they are still useful and fill a role and are force multipliers when used right.

>>182009420
Only really with lore of life support, and that goes for a lot of stuff. They don't deal out damage that quickly. They just seem to do well with fear against lower quality troops.

>how much of an impact do hero units/characters/generals have in battles?
A lot. but milage varies depending on level of hero/lord. its always worth it to have some in an army or on the campaign map as agents. a hero unit can wreck a unit 1v1 but a lvl30 hero and lvl1 hero are very different.

best way to take em out is with ranged weapons. Don't be afraid to commit your general to battle, unless they're fighting against multiple enemy heroes the enemy general or some giant monster or very elite armor peircing unit. and even then as long as you have supporting units a hero or general can last a while in combat.

As for skills the only one i always recommend is any campaign movement bonuses and lightning strike. but even then on some lords i don't even both if lightning strike is too far down the tree. or if i have specific plans with certain lords and builds. I just usually try to max out a few skills instead of dabbling in a bunch since that way i can more easily define roles for armies and heroes.

It depends on the difficulty you're playing at, but some heroes are better suited for the campaign map, others are better off in a battle, and some are good at both. Unless you get a mod to disable AI use of agents, you will want some campaign map focused ones to counter the AI's, as far as points are concerned that's personal preference I think, if you're playing normal you can usually just make all your lords combat/spell oriented and call it a day.

Paper Total War.
The better you do in fights, the larger your crowd is and they can throw things at the bad guys.
The battlefield will be on a very large stage with 4 edges (better than invisible walls if you ask me). When units engage you'll have that paper smoke and stars and "pow" signs flying with units being tossed out. Every unit will have some sort of special ability which is also visually interesting.
I just haven't decided whether it should be mario characters or humans, like hoplites, cavalry, but cartoony. Because with Mario characters you can have koopa armies, bobomb generals, just all your Mario baddies as soldiers. But I also think it would be cute to have paper knights charging in.

well fuck you buddy

Real question.
Are Empire Spearmen with shields gonna last longer on the front line than Swordsmen?
Like will they take longer to whittle down? Because that's all I do with my front line anyway, just have them stand there while I micro my crossbows, cavalry, and lords and heroes.
I'm just wondering if their higher melee defense will let me do that or if I'm gonna be missing the killing power from Swordsmen. I do mostly fight humans with this army so cavalry almost never comes into question, but sometimes I have to deal with beastmen and vampires.

>>182020240
Mage lords are terrible(unless they're dual role like Mannfred, who incidentally is the gold standard of lord units in the game).

Mages' worth depends on how good their lore is.
Utility and flashy spell magic is usually bad, healing is amazing and direct damage(like lore of death) is good.

Ranged heroes are lackluster on the battlefield as well.

Melee heroes are generally useful on the battlefield all of the time, though they vary from being about a standard infantry unit plus leadership buffs, like the warrior priest, to straight up the best unit in the roster; like the gorebull.

They still don't stand up as completely broken or more valuable than regular units(excepting certain fuckers like Mannfred), and are roughly equivalent in combat to a couple of basic infantry units, though more resilient; and less capable of doing damage as fast.

They are also often the only viable air squad a nation has(like Empire, mounting captains on pegasus), which can be used as a really strong assassination squad.

Monstrous lords like Kholek, or the Gryphon mounts are more equivalent to four or five basic infantry, but this is due mostly to terror, they still chew through casualties relatively slow for their cost.

>>182020240
Heroes buff the fuck out of auto-resolve, apparently.

yeah one thing i do is sometimes generic lords have economic bonuses so i'll use one to help garrison a troubled town with a bunch of agents that boost the provinces income, and if anything gets close, the agents can jump into the army to defend against the siege attack. heroes are pretty great on the walls and just having a general command a garrison makes it that much better.

they will do a better job if you never charge your swordsmen in, because if nothing else they'll have charge defense against large if standing still.

if you charge into combat then no i don't think it makes a difference unless the army you're facing is mostly large units.

I just think it's fucking stupid the only one I can find forces you to have to fight a civil war with yourself. I play Kislev to be the border of Chaos and the rest of the world.

>>182022942
The weird thing is in Warhammer, heroes seem the most useless on the campaign map but are actually most useful. I'm just gonna assume you're trying Empire first so:
Battle Wizards have Planning, this reduces the cost of buildings in the whole province by 10%, they get a skill at level 2 to increase that to 20% and can get traits that increase it more.
20%, whoopdeedoo, right? Wrong. If you're patient and just wait a bit on military and expensive unique buildings that you don't need right away like money or growth buildings then you can stack them up, move in the wizard, deploy him and save thousands of gold. He far outweighs the 270+ cost of having him around every turn.
Warrior Priests give additional growth. This one is super good. 1 warrior priest is worth more than a level 3 farm and doesn't take 6 turns to build plus however long to get the settlement to level 3. They free up slots in your minor settlements for money buildings and guardhouses (build 1 in every, I'm not kidding, EVERY settlement). I find these guys are the most useful on the map. The growth is too good, plus once you can recruit them at level 13 because you have Middleland at level 5 and built the special building, then deploying them also gets you +15% casualty replenishment so you can colonize ruins faster and heal from chaos fights.
Empire Captains boost public order. Pretty good if you don't wanna waste a slot on the happiness building, though you usually have room for 1 in every province other than Reikland. They're also going to be your first assassins before you get...
Witch Hunters. These guys are your good assassins but take a while to get. They also passively remove 8 chaos and vampire corruption because any "character" removes 2 and they have 2 skills that remove 3, most only get 1 skill that does that.

It's a bitch to level these guys up if they're only deployed so if you want to level them, you'll have to spend gold and make them do stuff to enemy armies.

gonna campaign post my rome campaign from last thread unless anyone objects.

With Carthage itself roman, and the nation of Carthage reduced to it's holdings in Iberia. Rome could turn it's attention elsewhere. But where? The senate was, as usual, conflicted. The Ligurians prosecute war against Rome's Massilian trading partners. Many senators (those bribed by equestrians with Businesses in Massilia) wish to join this war and extend the borders of the republic to the natural defenses of the Alps. Others want more attention towards the riches of Greece. The mighty Spartans holds power there, a non-aggression pact with them stands but Rome will not hesitate when conquering. But all senators agree on one thing, before future conquests the Etruscan revolt at Alalia must be put down. Having revolted last year while roman armies were occupied with Carthage, the Etruscan revolutionaries are well on their way to reviving the recently destroyed Etruscan league.

For Decimus Brutus, the Admiral of the Roman fleet. It's a familiar sight. Just 2 years ago he was sailing towards this town to slaughter some Etruscan dogs. Now he is doing it once more. Painfully aware of his greying hair and wrinkling hands, he beseeches Neptune and Mars to let him fight in more battles like these ones. To let him strike at Rome's enemies on the crystal seas of the Mediterraneans, even in his old age.

It's also a familiar sight for many of the troops on land. Most of them are veterans of the Legio I Italia and were present at the first battle of Alalia. But that was under a different commander. Lucius Julius Libo who has lead the 1st legion in all conquests save this one. For last fall he was attacked by assassins sent by the house of Junii. The very same house the admiral Decimus belongs to. The men are not exactly pleased that they must fight on the same battlefield as him. Talks of "an accident" are abundant. So Decimus plans to stay on his ship.

In typical roman fashion the Hastati are sent forth first. Meeting spear men they throw a wave of Pilum then charge forwards filled with zeal ready to spill blood for Rome.

But the Etruscans are in great numbers and spearmen are preventing the cavalry from flanking. So the Hastati falter and must pull back. It is time for the Principes. Supported by the Legions sole unit of Triarii the tide quickly turns back to the Romans favor.

The etruscans cannot withstand the roman onslaught now. They are foreced to send their spearmen to fight the principes freeing the roman cavalry to mop up those the seamen did not kill.

After a few months of crushing slave revolts and building up cities. Opportunity presents itself. The Ardiaei of Illyria have declared war on Sparta and taken Apollonia. The army in the city is weak. The senate authorizes the small but elite Legio III Primagena to take the city. Meanwhile the other target of expansion has been destroyed. Massilia has won their war and the cisalpines now primarily belong to them. Already talk of betraying the Massilians has begun.
