For me its the early late game mess where you start to have so many areas to control and so many wars to wage that game bogs down.
>>
>>727502512

Its just autobattle though really, its not like im doing anything but telling one unit to attack another. Best case scenario if my unit is winningnis the eneny loses 5℅ of their men and runs away, somehow even slipping through the unit Ive sent flanking round to cut off the
retreat. Feels like I'm cursed playingnthis shit.

>>enemy army and mine collide
on easy you shouldn't be losing that, not sure why you are, but anyway it sounds like you might be overcommitting on melee units. You only want a few to hold the line whilst your ranged does the real damage from the back line and your cavalry runs around and hits the flanks on enemy units that are fighting your front line.

>literally admitted to being terrible at the game
>still thinks he knows what he's talking about
protip: its almost always a terrible idea to just line up and charge, you need to think more creatively
>the enemy army counters my army
then its a problem of bad strategy

check out real life tactics from historic battles and try them.
an old trick in games with shit ai was to just have the cpu cheat - they are stronger do more damage roll better luck and all kinds of things.
given the cpu is controlling yours and its, it is probably micromanaging every one of its units so they work in unison to murder yours.
try long range archery, and cavalry charge and retreat and repeat. seek to irritate the computer rather than win, and you might win.
sometimes a game just isn't for you though, and if it isn't fun, drop it. not worth your time man.
I've been stuck on games before, sometimes my fault or just not knowing the trick or not liking having to play by the style it's forcing you to play by, and eventually it just becomes boring and I drop it.
happened on black moon chronicles, really liked the game, but late on on the game I just reached an impossible army to defeat, while I'd been doing fine up til then. maybe my army just wasn't compatible, or my playstyle - after 20 attempts I closed the game and never went back. pity because I liked the game.

They're finally going to release Medieval 3, and it's going to be shit. Either that, or they'll release a Lord of the Rings total war, to fuck over the developers of Dawnless Days.
>>
>>727502519
CA has lost all the money and talent that made RTW and MTW2 possible. it would just be embarrassing if they tried Medieval 3.
>>
>>727502511
study the battle of cannae and use those tactics every fucking time. never fails.

even the sharthammer games require some player input even if that input is just pressing the gacha ability buttons

I don't trust CA anymore. They're going to fuck it up.

Hopefully it's 40K.

If it turns out to be Age of Sigmar I'm going to fucking die.

Only question is whether they're intentionally sabotaging historical games so people stop asking for them or no.

Some dogshit rehash of the same engine they've been using since Rome. With awful muddy textures and UI that makes playing the combat look like a garbled mess.
Every battle will be arcade mode by default to make sure zoomers dont have to spend more than 10 minutes looking at their dudes fighting.
Guaranteed to be souless with missing tactical and strategic depth, and the usual broken AI to boot.

are you just selecting all of your units and sending them into a ball?

>>727508234

Would be suicide, and I don't think they are really THAT stupid
