Religion is a big fucking deal, going w/ Graeco Roman Paganism is much easier than going with Latin Christianity. The only time you will want to settle is if you have a nomadic barbar faction (vandals, alans, goths etc.) that is at war with Barbar NATO (the guys fucking your shit up early on) in a good spot to secure your borders.

For example, in my WRE campaign I ended up using the settling mechanic for the first time after I took the Alaman's capital and gave it to the Vandals - since the Vandals were at war with the Alamans and had armies moving around in my territory, I was able to replace a hostile faction with a friendly one and remove the threat of the Vandals w/o killing them. This also meant that I didn't have to worry about incursions from that part of Germania until the Vandals were eventually destroyed

The Kingdom of Asturias has proven to be really fucking incompetent - I wanted them to take the current military target for themselves, so I sacked it multiple times, even defeating the rebel army inside it and sat in the reinforcement zone so that I could help them take the city if they attacked it. Instead they sat on their hands and my army had to go back east to deal with the Taifa of Toledo who had just declared war on the Taifa of Barcelona. The Taifa of Barcelona, however, has actually made progress in their war, taking the Taifa of Valencia's capital, leaving them with just their towns in northwest of spain.

The Duchy of Frisia has been almost completely absorbed by the Kingdom of Brittany. This campaign is the first time I've ever actually seen the Bretons leave their peninsula.

In the south my troops have finished securing Corsica and Sardinia, and are waiting for a naval escort to take them to Sicily to finally deal with the Theme of Sicily once and for all

All that is left of Sicily is Syracuse, but things aren't going so well in the west.

Charlemagne destroyed the Duchy of Burgundy, but I was able to reclaim the town and territory for myself.

In Spain, the Kingdom of Asturias is now restricted to Leon. In order to try and get them up and running again, I've given them multiple gifts in the hopes that they will use them to create armies and try to expand. The Taifa of Barcelona has annexed the Taifa of Toledo, and my King is having to babysit Asturias' southern territories to prevent the Taifa of Badajoz from capturing them. Cordoba was at war w/ me and my client states, but in order to prevent them from btfoing the Asturians I accepted peace + payment from them.

Proper combat by Kam slows down the game to a much better level where tactics in general matter.

When you merge both the files into a new .pack file, remember to keep the specialized combat mod tables start with an "a_"

>>182196275
Horseshit, I'm afraid anon.

The endless AAA drivel shat out by Ubisoft, EA and co love to show you pretty much their entirety of their games before release, and those are the ones that are completely shit.

Some of the best games I've played have released with little fanfare beyond a single trailer.

>>182196462
If anything, CA are striking a nice balance between teasing their shit and not going overboard.

Plus they've still got a little less than three months before release, plenty of time to tease all the factions etc.

OK, I'm pretty content with the fact that I am terrible at the game, and rely heavily on autoresolve to win my campaign games. During real battles, I don't know what to actually do though. I know to flank units with calvary when I can, to not send big units against spearmen, and spearmen generally lose against axemen/infantry, but other than that, I don't know what units are appropriate to use in the required situations. I don't know what a good army makeup looks like, I don't know when I should take a battle/shouldn't, I don't know what my high priority targets are, ,I'm not sure how to use most other units other than the basics, and I sure as hell have absolutely no idea how to participate in a siege battle. For most of this stuff it'll come as I go along, I'm sure. But I want to know if I should watch anyone specifically to try and get the idea of who to aim for, and with what units in battles, or is the skills with everything just something that takes time? I primarily play Warhammer btw.

Here's a short summary of the things I've read about Total War Warhammer while considering buying it:

>there are two battle maps: one with a flat grass field and one with two rectangular walls where if you're attacking five timers tick off health from your units every second until you engage the enemy
>all factions have the exact same building tree and two skill trees across all provinces and characters
>diplomacy doesn't exist; it's just random spam of war declarations and peace offers thrown at you without regard to war progression
>there is no tactics; whoever has the most units on the field automatically wins the blob in the middle of the map that passes for a battle
>there is no such thing as magic as it has no practical effect, and the visual effects are just as weak and pathetic

Based off of this, I consider TWW to be shovelware. Are there any better titles in this series or has it always been this insulting to strategy fans?

The strategy layer has always been quite shallow, it just functions as a vehicle for the battles.

It looks like the Greek counterattack at Pella has drawn the Romans away. Both of my armies push up while concealing themselves in the forest.

DEI with faster battles submod.

Probably around 4 years.

And the game looks like shit.

Fucking hell, I hope my rig will be okay when I hit the inevitable 2 stack v 2 stack battles.

Not a good day to be a Roman.

>>182234813
It's shit and deep you know it. You know it'll be full of bugs, unoptimized and lacking features. Just like the rest of the serie. Two years and countless patches and mods down the line it'll just end up being warband but with slightly better graphics.

>it'll just end up being warband but with slightly better graphics.
Yeah that's what I expect.
And it'll still be GOTYAY.

15k and slaves? Yes please. The only downside here is that my reserve stack will capture the city and be vulnerable to counter attack on the Roman's turn. If they come with one stack I can take them, but two would be pushing it.

well, that's what they exist for after all, killing everything that's fun and nice

I got the Total War colletion off of a humble bundle ages ago. I played 30 minutes of Rome 2 and uninstalled it. I finally gave it another shot during the summer sale, played 2 hours, loved it and bought Total War Warhammer and have been playing that since. I love it. My question is, which TW game would you say is the best? I played a bit of medieval 2, but it feels very dated controlwise.

Also, would buying the blood dlc for rome 2 be worth it or not?

I move south, intending to attack the other Roman settlement on the coast. A hidden army waiting just off the coast moves to reinforce as I approach, and I'm forced to pull back.

At this point it seems clear the Roman army will catch me, so I set up an ambush in the forest.
