The enemy army foolishly decides to disembark outside of the safety of the walls instead of in the harbor, where they would have had ranged support and friendly troops nearby. Perhaps the appearance of our naval reinforcements spooked them.

Our troops get ready to meet them

Also, pretty sure saying that you warned CA about people being asshurt about settlements and then talking about how they said "meh we'll deal with w/e negative feedbacks comes" is kinda breaking NDA. Maybe he just phrased it poorly though, he seemed to be trying to make the point that the community didn't complain enough about the shit sieges/lack of settlements on release. He spends a lot time time talking about what cucks TW subreddit is.

Does he mean the state that the second game is in?

The Greek naval forces disembark, planning to pin us between their landing site and the walls. However there aren't any garrison troops to pressure our rear, so our troops have set up in a defensive position between the Greeks and the entrance to their city - they will have to go through us if they want to get to the gate

I kinda want the King and the Warlord DLC. My friend wants to play Dwarves in our next co-op and I need a good partner, so I thought playing Angrund would be fun. We would be fighting for territory, which would suck, but Angrund might be cool and we can dual dwarf it up.

Anyone know of a place to get the DLC a bit cheaper than on Steam? Not like g2a, but I know some legit stores have sales on and off

it does though, most of the generic factions are Warhammer 1 content, the elves have 99% wood elves animations who were already 75% generic human animations.

People who think making new units are difficult need to have a look in at modding, it's easy as shit.

The only tricky part is making it look decent, which isn't tricky at all if you're at CA because you can use the variant editor.

He must just not be cut out for the industry. It's tough, it sucks and it's run by people who have no good intentions for the product... because that's all it is. A product. They aren't making the game to appeal to your nostalgia for the tabletop or because of their veneration for the source material... they are doing it because it makes money.

I'm not arguing that they shouldn't be reusing animations you nob, I'm arguing they shouldn't be charging the price of a full game.

Most Total War games take more than 1 years dev time because they want to try and improve upon the last game they made.

Warhammer 2 has taken a year to develop because what they can actually improve is severely limited, it has to be compatible with the first game for the combined map.

The only changes they can make are superficial ones because they can't make any changes to the engine, however slight.

It's an expansion by design.

I did feel like the game was kind of a fucking mess on release, and they did go maximum overjew with DLC and pricing - but, as I got the game on sale in a full pack 6 months on, it's a great value to me.

People need to learn to wait for sales. I might get 2 on release though seeing the improvements

Rolling for Rome 2 or Charlamagne

0-5 Rome 2
6-9 Charlamagne

>>187562019
I can definitely see where you are coming from. It also does have more content than an expansion though, so really it should be somewhere in between.

>>187562361
>People need to learn to wait for sales.
Why?

>>187561669
do you think it's all major game studious?

Albion are going to be made into a DLC faction aren't they? and facotred into the vortex campaign. Wew Swamp Celts and Giants battering lizardmen and high Elves giv. All CA has to do it make albion a tad bigger and make up a roster, easy to do since there are plenty of Cetlic resources on warriors and monsters from their mythology to use.

I used to hate the idea, but would be all for it to be honest.

>he added he was really pissed off that the community didn't raise hell about the crap Sieges/lack of settlements on release because it undermined his arguments.
desu, I didn't really give a shit about those on release.

When you first play Warhammer your just super immersed in the faction you're playing and everything is awesome.

It was only when I realised that
>it's fucking stupid that I'm being attacked in my settlement and I'm sallying forth with 4 units vs. 20
>the only way to prevent this is to build walls
>all siege battles and identical and walls just give you an identical city siege battle rather than a walled settlement
>entire campaigns are only played between shitty identical siege maps and field battles
Probably took about 1-2 months of playing between factions before all that set in.

No, you and many other dumb fucks are salivating at the thought of giving CA more money for race packs.

Not only have I purchased this for myself, I have purchased this for one of my friends as well.

The more angrier you get, the bigger the bigger my hopes are that you autistic cunts lose interest and leave faster

>>187562447
Because they've become part of the market and are WHY things are priced like they are now. Companies have realized they can charge 60 dollars for an xpac and 20 dollars for DLC and get the people who gotta have it NOW, and then get the people that balk later on with a 25 - 50% sale

Maybe i'm just used to it because i'm a cheap fuck who comes from a family of cheap fucks where products didn't exist unless they were off brand or on sale

It's illegal to prevent people from talking about wages so that's not what would break his NDA, the other stuff might. The reason talking about wages is protected is so that employers can't unjustly screw over specific employees (e.g. one employee getting 20k more for the same position as another, if they can't talk about wages the poor employee would never know)

Then I charged my general unit at some peasants and only 9 of them actually went forward while the rest stopped right behind and then slowly walked in.

It is, I've worked with a couple either directly or as contract work... I've also done military simulation as well.

It's every software engineering industry. The problem is that Software Engineers are not people people. We don't manage well. That means that either you can promote a software engineer to your team/companies managerial staff and they will do really poorly as a manager and things will fail, or you can hire someone who's whole job is being a manager... however those people dont know anything about coding. They dont know how long things take.

It's lose-lose either way

this mod does run off Kingdoms, which did a lot to increase fluid unit movements, and it adds its own pathing and cohesion improvements. I recommend watching some gameplay videos on youtube since 1.5 has come out to see firsthand how much better units respond.

t. biased BotET fan

>>187562661
The reason is simply because Celtic Mythology is wacky and damn cool and people like Celts and better yet, fantasy celts. Especially the Asian market, they love Celtic shit.

This would have been called a sequel as it features the same amount of different playable factions and a map sized around the same as the first games

>>187564004
I don't know why darren said that. he went on to say they increased the price of norsca which compared to chaos they did. still doesn't excuse saying what he said

>>187563746
t b h I feel the same. I want to play BotEt really bad but I just can't deal with the sieges. too cluncky for me. also the map isn't that good for non-old world factions but that's understandable since they're limited based on what med 2 can do.

>>187563759
huh. interesting. you think studious like CDprojekt fit into that or are they considered 'indi'? also how about japan studious?

>>187564338

there are many expansions that are basically the same cost as a base game unfortunately. If we were to scale the value of game 1 vs game 2 technically game 2 is way better value for money as there is the same number of base playable factions but number 2's factions are far more fleshed out.

A lot of drones get extremely riled when their favorite game is bashed, so obviously they misinterpret a lot of things said. For example, ledditors think the animations are flawless despite showing a clear example of an extremely poor animation (the two large units fighting each other in the Skaven v. Lizardmen battle).

I can't defend sieges all that much, but I can say that almost every Total War game has had it's own troubles with siege battles. In this mod and med 2 in general there's just a lot fewer ways to control the battle since you'll be fighting street by street towards the town center. It doesn't reward or require micro besides swapping out exhausted troops for fresh ones.

Personally, I haven't experienced unit-breaking troubles on walls. I leave infantry to their equipment and don't try to change my orders while half the unit is still on the ground. Sometimes they don't want to move down the wall to attack another unit but that can be solved with movement clicks.

>>187566232

nice thing about fighting vamps are the carpets

So how do you think the High Elves took it when it was revealed that their true king was the dude they waged an incredibly bloody war against for years?

>>187568712

Darren brought to light a lot of shit, some of it unknown by most here. Anyone can see that sieges were shit and dlc practices are suspect, but he covered more than that.

Coupled with the disgusting reaction of plebbit turds, it's hard to want to be part of the same community.

>>187568865

I really like the Total War setting because it allowed me to be a General in the closest sense, but Warhammer stripped that away to make way for big flashy fantasy shit. It's fucking gross, even though I liked Warhammer, looking back, I'm not sure my opinion is the same on it.

I don't think he covered anything that wasn't covered here with in the past year.
> big flashy fantasy shit
you mean big 'LE EPIC' moments?

family trees, seasons, cities growing larger when built up, all are present in Attila. I feel they removed those simply for warhammer probablyjust not wanting to show the passage of time. Growth also is meant to show population growth.

Looking at the spells a wizard gets, how do I know which one to use when? Most just say, "Good vs many units, does magical damage" but doesnt describe numbers or how much damage it does

so what's up my dudes?

It doesn't have to perfect for you to enjoy it. You buy a video game to satisfy your own entertainment needs, not some abtract moral principle of "supporting the developer" or some bullshit. If you enjoy the ride pay for the ticket, simple.

Beta man. Folow your own likes and desires, don't have your emotions be dictated by others like a whimsical child. If Darren told you to jump off the Harbour Bridge would you do it?

are there any good mods for co-op campaigns to increase difficulty or add more to do? it seems no matter what race combination, the vanilla win conditions is just "raze 80 settlements, have some units and sometimes have some tech"

No point at ALL about complaining about Warhammer. It will get you nowhere. The trilogy is only and last thing Warhammer Fantasy will ever get it, then it will slowly die after years pass. Enjoy it while it lasts, because this is the only thing keeping Warhammer 'popular'

What, exactly, did he bring to light? That CA knew and disregarded fan complaints about the sieges and DLC?

Of course CA knew. Of course they disregarded it. That was always evident.

Do you expect me to believe a Community Manager knows anything about the games budgeting, however? Sure he probably hears people complain about their salaries, or their department not getting enough money. Everyone everywhere complains about that, forever. 50% of the time it's even true.

>What, exactly, did he bring to light? That CA knew and disregarded fan complaints about the sieges and DLC?
That CA's thinks there PR are good enough that they can fob content.

It's kind of changed whinging about apparently small features from 'negative nancy' status to 'fucking necessary'.

Don't listen to that Darren goyim, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

>>187572993
The first Hoobit was OK. The 2nd killed all of my interest in the 3rd, not even the battle of 5 armies could be a payoff. It just showed a profoundly cynical disinterest in the source material - while the LOTR trilogy, having it's flaws and compromises, at least seemed to respect the source material and did it's best to adapt it in a somewhat faithful fashion. The Hobbit however, after being hamfisted into a trilogy when it rightfully should have been a deutorology, proceeded to nab apocrypha from every last scrap of notes Tolkien wrote before passing away in an effort to turn what was a children's bedtime story into a 3 part epic to match Lord of the Rings for that sweet ass dosh and an excuses to show off bad CGI

Honestly, the fact I need to say anything but EXECUTIVE MANDATED ROMANCE is silly.

>>187573392
Gaming subreddits are toxic wastelands, it's ironic that leddit is so rude and cuntish, while we here who are the most notorious online trolls are the only ones able to rationally discuss the series.

He just discovered they were always his deeply held views right after someone else articulated them and it radically changed his emotional orientation towards the game he previously enjoyed (but he really always held those views really!)
