>>487415629Why were Bronze Age Greeks so horny?
Why are chaos warriors all 7 foot ripped dudes? Are they all bara queers?
>>487415803Vile itch and Doc Festus aren’t.
>>487415778Horns were a symbol of virility.
>>487415803yes appealing looking men exist only to be gay, there is nothing gay about thinking this
>>487415920Vilitch might be a twig but Thomin is giga-hench.
>>487415803It's to please their women. They are picky.
>>487416069>>487416292No, having one bara dude among scrawnier men is male power fantasy/YA romance. Having a bunch of bara dudes is cocksucking fairy fantasy.
>>487415803Chaos warriors are mutated humans. It's like asking why are space marines all tall and built like bricks.
>>487415778Aphrodite's fault
>>487415410that's for "influencers"
>>487416639you would know best am I right?
>>487416639Listen up gay boy. Go suck some dick somewhere else.
>>487416786>Chaos warriors are mutated humans. It's like asking why are space marines all tall and built like bricksSo everyone who plays Chaos and Space Marines is a roid fag. Got it.
Where can I get the original Rome: Total War? Other than shelling out ÂŁ25 on Steam for the remastered (which I don't want as I'm going to be playing on a laptop + don't care about the expansions, merchants etc) - is my only option piratebay?

well /twg/?
>>487417736Yes? HoMM3 was a great game.
Is Mixu's LL mod worth using?
>>487418062why did we never get a HoMM3 subterranean style underworld map to really emphasize the skaven, dwarf, and greenskin wars?
>>487411070This may look like 'just pretending to be retarded' bait, but rat superiority deniers are this dumb.>>487415803>5'11' the postIt's called just being normal, cuck.
>>487418459I play with this because of Nagash mod, but if I wasn't playing with Nagash I would also disabled this. Unless you want new legendary lords everywhere. Like every elector count for empire is LL with it, for example. It changes campaign flow massively compared to vanilla because of that.
>>487418459>Is any cheat worth using?No.
>>487410532Did CIV characters change clothes in the older games? That's awesome, why did they get rid of that.
gays get OUT
LegendofTotalWar finally got his new computer! huzzah!!
>>487419406>why did they get rid of thatBecause in new civilization games you are a continuous society with it's own culture and culture victory is a valid strategy. So putting your leader in british clothing makes the entire point of trying to become a dominating culture completely pointless as you already lost if you adopted foreign culture.
>>487419972It would be cool if the next civ implemented something like this but worked with cultural experts to create modern looks for these characters that are built on their cultural roots. Afro futurism is neat.
>>487418596How is being small normal?
>>487418459Any base game ever requires mods. It's called PC gaming and it's been the only way to play since the 90s.>>487420464You're over 7 foot too? Based.
>>487419406Only in civ3. Leaderheads from Civ4 became more lively and animated so creating up to seven different leader models for each faction would've been a workload overload.
>50 turns in repanse TOW campaign>lots of fun>random hotfix appears>CTD now>going back to the version before the new hotfix>still CTD since some mods have updated to accomodate the hotfix but not allI fucking hate this shit. If they can't be bothered to make content as good/fast as modders atleast don't break modded campaigns every 2 weeks
>>487418596>It's called just being normalThere's nothing normal about being over 7 feet tall and if you do think it's normal, then you may as well don a pup play mask and assless chaps right now
>>487420447I believe their space game tried something like that. Leaders changed clothing based on tech or ideology. That game wasn't very popular though.
Anons, do you pike and shotte?I really like how the musketeers in that mod rotate to the back after firing to reload. It is tad janky but there is less need to just make long thin lines of gunners.https://files.catbox.moe/p30uj4.mp4
>>487420464Most humans are manlets. Only very few select races can be called tall. If normal is dictated by the majority than being a manlet is normal. You would need to delete all Latinos, Africans, Asians (except South Koreans), South East Asians, Indians and Middle-Easterners from existence for tall people to be the normal.
>>487421113No it"s the most cring and cucked era of warfare only brleat buly giga cringe modern drones and artillery.
>>487421113Well since I only play the empire and don't like using magic you could say I do play pike and shot. Too bad there are no proper pikemen in the game yet.I really wish we could get a proper tw set in that period. Since right now it's relegated to mods, the last 20 turns of M2, the first ten turns of Empire, very simplified in wh or the weirdo Asian variant of it in S2.
>>487420634>5'11''Imagine having to go through life as a lesser being.
>>487421113>in that modthey already rotate ranks in vanilla med 2 you dumbass
>>487419406it's only in Civ 3and I assume it was dropped because in 4 they used 3D models and had several civilizations with multiple leaders instead of 1 per civhaven't played much 5 or 6 so I won't comment on those
UPDATE NEWShttps://news.totalwar.com/twp-update-200
Oh gee, thanks.
>>487422023But not every mod does it or any following tw game . Tbh it has been years since I last played vanilla so I can't recall what they were like.
>>487423190when does it actually release?steam doesn't let me play it.
>>487423440>the bigger your empire gets the faster your armies move on sea uh?how does that work, "men the king just conquered another province, sail faster!"?
>>487420508I'm not 7 feet but I'm taller than most people
>>487423758Can be explained with many things.>You get more subjects that will resupply your fleets along the coasts.>More capable sailors join your fleets .
>>487425123That could be anything from 5'9'' to 6'11''Are you taller than Tyrion (6'6'')?

Is there a corruption mechanic in Pharaoh like Med2?
Fun fact: Malekith starts with 20% physical resistance.Fun fact 2: Malekith's dragon mount, Seraphon has 15% physical resistance.

There is a possibility that U'zhul Skulltaker will have amazing stats. He might benefit from both heavy armour and physical resistance.I wonder if some of these Daemons will also appear in a hypothetical Total War: Warhammer 40k. I know for a fact that Be'lakor is in 40k because he won model of the year.Imagine needing to own Warhammer 1-3 to get the full 40k experience.

>>487425920FUCK THE FRENCH.I stand on my own TWO FEET in resistance to the product your faggot French revolution and forced upon people by those pussy French and their guillotines.A real man uses the measurements of his body and his labor as systems of measurement, not some made up untangible bullshit.I use an ACRE because that's the amount of land a yoke of oxen can till or work in one day.I use a MILE because of my Western roots with the Romans' thousand paces at 5 feet each.A meter is what? Some bullshit 10 size fits all mentality? Where's your faggot 10 day week, pussy ass French cock sucker? Where are your 100 hours in a day? Where are you 100 minutes in an hour? Your 100 seconds in a minute?You schizo French faggots need to pull your abstract heads out of your faggoty abstract asses and start measuring in the REAL WORLD. There's a reason why we stick with 8's 12's and 60's it comes from ancient knowledge not some faggot French cuck. 12's with the Romans, 60's with the Babylonians, and so on and they could be used by ancient city planners and monument builders and peasant farmers all the fucking same because they divide up into 3rd's, 4th's, halves.Go ask a peasant what a 3rd of a foot is, it's 4 inches, then ask what a 3rd of a meter is, it's 33.3 and five billion more 3's that don't fucking add up.>>487428930>just use our faggot french king's death penalty imposed measuring systemThis peasant has been cucked so fucking hard he has become cuck incarnate. He now enjoys and defends the taste of French revolution cock in his mouth.

>>487430991Moving the goalposts, like I expected.The channel is the director's own and his name is redirected to the channel ever since jewtube introduced their retarded @channel shit. Oh, and searching for his name instead of channel name gives the same result, who would've known? Get fucked, jew.

wtf kazrak is really hard to play
>>487425920only retard faggots count by 10, base 10 is legitimately the most stupid counting system invented by useless sandniggers because they were too stupid to rediscover the better system of the babylon, or literally any other civilization, but no, we use the retard system because retards have to count to 10 with fingers even though you can count to 12 on one hand
>>487418486Total War is unfortunately made by CA. Such a cool feature would require extensive engineering/programming work. Something CA execs absolutely do not want to invest in.As long as fans are happy with reskinned units and some scripted mechanics, they don't feel any need to work on anything more ambitious under the hood.The money instead goes to stupid projects like Hyenas.

>>487433824Like I said fagrat, some time ago you could literally fuck the launcher update and continue playing without thee update, you just had to disconnect internet connection. dunno if it was changed in game 3 or somewhere after the release but the "must be online to start the game" shit wasn't always a rule with steam/offline games like total war. you just proved that youre more a newfag than I am.
>>487434553Queek isn't gay, stop projecting.
>>487433717Minoa...home...

so uh whats my motivation as a daemon of chaos?
>>487432192>Love's America>Hates jewsPick one.
Malekith's quest battle against the Lizardmen is kind of insane. Praise Khaine for Seraphon and Darkshards.
>>487434273you still need to go online for update so steam lets you play offline. I guess theres a rollback option but it dont work half the time and its time consuming to download previous build.
>>487434715>Queek isn't gay
>>487435303>so uh whats my motivation as a daemon of chaos?Your into TF and straight to gay orientation play
>>487434667>like i saidNobody gives a fuck what some moron complaining about the 900th game breaking Steam update has to say.

>>487432289What how? He's a beastmeme the easiest faction to play fighting early game empire which has some of the lowest unit quality across the board until high tier ranged and arty. You should be destroying them. Beastmemes also just got ultra buffed despite already being top 3
>>487433856I am arguing for all of those ideas, anon.I want to see dynamic weather, forests burning, naval battles, banners/musicians, battle formations, spider units climbing walls, etc, etc. All the sort of things that would require tech work. Not placing it on top of the list just because I’m saying it would be cool to see.Nah, the idea would be that every faction could go down there, take the fight to the Skaven.If we can go to the Chaos Realms, this wouldn’t be anything stranger.I doubt it would be particularly resource intense, or else we would never have gotten the Chaos Realms. But it would be more involved since they would be layering maps vertically.
All animation has been reworked to work with my Typescript In-Game Kitbash system, yes including fancy mounts like pegasus and hippogryph. Next milestone:>add more face variations, there are 4 currently, at least have 10 variations for humanoid01c (fat bret lord) and humanoid01 (normal lord) combined>headgear not yet ported to the new system, I still have the old assets from previous experiment>Implement for paladins (and possibly I have to model another 10 face variations)>Play test for at least 30 turnsBut wow, it is really nice to see things combining together. Thanks to the new framework, I simply add new lines into the json file and the kitbasher will automatically provides new item for selected unit type in game.
>>487436085You can't have good things because 60% of people refund games in the first 10 minutes. They make dumb things in attempt to keep 10% retards in the playerbase and get only 50% returns
>>487436209The hardest part is actually the animations, because I can't use the existing animation file due to how the amoury system works. But thanks to Animation Keyed Frame Editor in asset editor I implemented a while back, I recreated all the vanilla animation using that tool and it's possible (but tedious).
>>487436541Man I'm a professional game artist and animation is some tedium what do you mean by recreate did you have to do redo keys from scratch or?
why the fuck is there no option for melee units to automatically attack nearby targets?
>Battle of Mohacs 1526>3,000 armoured knights from the Hungarian noble banderiums, the king's bodyguard (1,000 armoured knights), 4,500 light cavalry (mainly hussars of Serbian origin), 6,700 mainly Hungarian infantry, 5,300 Papal infantry (mainly German Landsknechte, but Italian and Spanish contingents were also represented in smaller numbers) and 1,500 Polish infantry, with an unknown number of artillerymen.>crushing defeat against the Ottoman armyPike and shot bros how could this happen to us? How did such a formidable force get defeated by an army of light cavalry and foot archer faggots?
>>487436541Back view>>487436721Basically copy pasting the animation using the tool and do some interpolations if things don't match https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Buk2P3wGcgg&t=2sThe latter the most annoying part in the process since the tool doesn't have IK movement
>>487436913They don't have programmers that know how to do this
>>487437041In battleI like the idea of Bretonnia lords progressively gets OP in vanilla game, I want to step that up further with actual customisation, they should look fancier the stronger they are with magical armours, weapons, robe, and shields they bear.
>>487436913>why doesn't the game play itself for meBecause keeping situational awareness of the battlefield and issuing commands in real time is the entirety of the real-time gameplay. If you automate that then you don't have a game anymore.And you inevitably run into the problem that as soon as the AI isn't literally playing and winning the game for you, it's shit and bad and the developers suck because the AI made the wrong choice. These games are not micro-intensive to where you would need the AI to play for you, and you can literally slow down time or pause if you need more time to do things.
>>487437353Top viewGtg, I will provide some footages during campaign test. And also the progress on the head gear and paladins support. Thanks for subscribing to my dev blog.
>>487426128>OMG ARE THOSE NON GLOBOHOMO UNITS OF MEASUREMENT?>gets upsetyou're like that redditor who says he cries if taken out of densely populated areas lol.
>>487436913It's nice that in battlefleet gothic armada you can toggle a button on each individual ship that will tell it to automatically target another enemy ship when its target is destroyedyou can also set the target priority of individual enemy ships, so they will track the highest priority targetI hate micromanagement and I believe it adds nothing to a tactical game when you can instead modify the behavior and tactical doctrine of your units
>>487437459>being *this* disingenuous im talking about engaging enemies within a few meters so that you don't have to spam when the inevitable melee blob happens, im not talking about an AI general seriously it takes so little for the ai to suddenly stop engaging
>>487437459Your units sitting there like retards because they're on guard off and the target decided to disengage is stupid. I personally think I would like having a melee nearby toggle it could have a small search radius
>>487437936>>487436913CA needs to step up their game and finally start simulating lines of communication and units taking independent action.Caesar didn’t have instant communication with his legions and neither should the player. Messengers should move from your general to your units. Similarly controlling units engaged in combat should be a difficult task. Pre-battle planning and giving directives to your officers should be as important as orders given during the battle itself.
>>487436209Tell me I can put helmets on them
>>487437459guess we should remove fire at will as well?
>>487438392I'd like something like this in total war
>>487437459Having an aggression range has been a staple in tons of RTS games and works great. It is a quality of life feature if anything, you condescending retard.
>>487410018Would Malekith be the type of dude to do this?
>>487438392but how can the AI spam 1000 clicks per second if it has to send out messengers first?
>>487439043Why is that bowl of rice (?) there?
pharaoh looking grim despite of the shill campaign
>>487437459even in blizzard's micro hell games a lot of units will start chasing whatever gets close enough to attack

>>487438409Yes
>>487439467what cheat?
>>487439467I said helmets, that's a hat.
>pharaoh update tomorrow >ogres dlc late 2024Are we heading into a five months long drought sirs?
>>487439657"late" can mean a lot of things
>>487439657Ogres have a very large window for their release date.
you retards are aware they also called "late summer" a 25th july release, right?
>>487438603Unironically? Yes.Just add a "let loose" active button/hotkey to the ability tab of ranged units that forces them to fire on an acquired target when pressed and give it a visible cooldown that corresponds to the unit's reload speed. It would make it easier to manage large groups of ranged units without excessive clicking while still making it something you actively control manually. let units acquire targets automatically (or manually via right click) but leave it to the player to actively pick when to fire. I'm borrowing this mechanic directly from Empire naval battles, where it worked really well. And like empire, you could do something like give them a cone showing where their arrows will land and how their aiming convergence changes over distance so the player has incentive to time their shots against approaching enemies to maximize damage instead of just prepositioning 5 missile units in deployment and never selecting them again.
I hope that Pharaoh Dynasties has Monotheism for the other cultures and not just Atenism in Egypt.What about Aegean Monotheism?Canaanite Monotheism?Mesopotamian Monotheism?Am I gonna be forced to play Egypt here!?
Does the "assign group to AI control" function not basically do what we're talking about in principle?Do we even still have that button?
>>487440872Look, it's someone worse at game design than CA.
>>487440872this sounds absolutely awful

>>487441137CA's mistake is taking feedback about realtime battles from people who autoresolve everything.
>>487441513There are mods with full ai playing for you, with you, or just adding basic unit stances like engage close, near, far, return fire. There's a few discontinued that i'll reupload but AI general is the oldest and has been continued since the first Total War game.Other than that, check out the stance mods, nearly every hotbreak patch these stance mods get broken, but they're sick when they work, like having pikes form circles around units and protect them, different formations with different ai assigned to them like having pikes in forward V formations to protect archers and only engage horses and hold ground on other melee.>>487442007>watchedMicroing at a "high level" isn't impressive, if you "watch high level starcraft" then you should know everyone laughs at the retards hitting 400-600APM, microing with macroing and scouting and counterintel mixing is where "high level" comes in. None of the last 3 is really done in any Total War battle except maybe a tiny bit of scouting but vs ai like most of the redditors in here will never need that.www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_RZEqjEu2cFlash one of the greatest in RTS micro has always fell to 300-330APM in battle but that's including macro and scouting and counterintel hotkeys being hit so it's not even all micro APM, so if you're at 200APM just in micro alone you could manage a battle at the greatest gamers of all time's level, redditors here will bitch about using 5APM against retarded AI.

So be thankful to CA keeping the games dumbed down for you to be an APMlet struggling with shit preteens were doing in the 90s.
>>487439043Not really, he hates Morathi

>>487445089you forgot the tree woman
>>487444528Rejuvenated Hellebron should be hard smash though. Other than that pretty good list.
>>487445027>go watch some replays of insane microfucking why? I don't care, I already know about the stupid high APM in starcraft.total war is not your gookclicker game, the gameplay has never been about APM or micro management.
>>487433192I wish there'd finally be a company that took a crack at the general Total War formula. There's a ton of games like Civ out there, why is nobody making their own TW?
>>487444783you don't have organized religion in Pharaoh except for Atenism, everybody else worships up to 3 gods for any of the pantheons from the regions they own not sure how that system will interact with Mesopotamian dwellings and Aegean hecatombs, ask me tomorrow
Do I play a Mortal Empires campaign as Heralds of Ariel, Clan Skryre, or The Awakened?
>>487445586so theodoretically, an Aegean can conquer 1 Egypt territory and then convert entirely to Atenism?
>>487445254>plays games based around greatness and chooses to act like a faggot???>>487445395>makes false statement>refuses to be educated???4chan is hilarious in so many ways, but one of my favorites is that reddit posts/arguments are literally the bait of 4chan. All you have to angery someone on 4chan you just talk like a redditor. Hilarious shit.
>>487445404Civ 6 alone has more players than all total wars combined right now. Civ 5 has more players than any total war but Wh3. There is simply a lot more money to be made with the civ audience than the total war one.
>>487445704you must really like looking at trannies to have images of them saved on your computer to share with otherssasuga mpfag
>>487445697not like that at all, Aten isn't an Egyptian god it's a Royal TraditionYou'd have to enter adopt the Egyptian court and adopt the Atenist path, when you do that you lose the base game religion system and get Aten instead allowing you to combine bonuses for different gods
>>487445404In my list of games I want to make, one of them is a Total War battles mixed with the RP of CK campaign.

For Building Tall as Alashiya and protecting the sweet red heads.
I haven't been to this general in a while. Is this just what /twg/ is like now? Like there are maybe 3 people actually posting about total war and like one guy just frantically trying to derail every conversation with the most embarrassingly shit bait I've ever seen? What the fuck man i used to like hanging out here.
>>487446160I think there's an option to allow all royal traditions regardless of which specific court so maybe you can have Atenism without becoming the Pharaoh, but that's kind of weird like having Hammurabi's code of laws without becoming King of the Universe
>>487410018Which Chaos God would have their followers strengthen themselves with skateboard squats?
>>487446362but you posted video evidence of high level starcraft having ridiculous micro and APM?
How do we deal with ratfags?

>>487450039yeah, you're correct.And even an Elder Scrolls Total War wouldn't have as much variety as Warhammer so that'd be a more 'historical total war' formula.But yes, LOTR would work, that was a good point you brought up.It has enough variety, but for a 'historical total war' formula type of game. Not this over the top mega immortal empires style formula. I don't want to see Gandalf LL in LOTR Total War, I'd want to see family trees and more akin to a historical total war.It probably even is history for real.

>>487453804>kerriganpostingEven ratfags have some self-respect.
France is actually good though
>>487452843This but unironically.Even among the best RTS players in the world, the majority of their "APM' is meaningless spam clicking and rote build order script with no variation from game to game. Only a tiny fraction of 'actions' at the highest level of play are actually meaningful or involve any kind of individual decisionmaking. It's easy to left click 400 times per minute but 100 meaningful actions that involve thought per minute is an overwhelming mental load to even the best players.In any software design, minimizing the number of actions necessary to perform a meaningful task is a major goal. An effective UI is one that allows you to do things efficiently. Starcraft-influenced games went in the opposite direction because they fundamentally misunderstood what competitive starcraft players do with most of those actions--which is follow build orders and then click empty space to keep time. Micromanagement, which is what everyone associated with APM, is only a time fraction of the actions in the average BW or starcraft 2 game. 90% is macro with no variation from game to game, following chesslike scripted openers.For a game that doesn't involve real time base building, unit recruitment or build orders, where you enter battle with all your units and simply control them to victory, all of those "APM" taxes are waived. You're solely focuses on micromanagement and wider map-level strategy, which means fewer actions but more meaning and thought per action.
>>487453995I did cry at the end of Wings of Liberty though."We all got our choices to make""My pleasure darlin, always has been"My girlfriend at the time didn't understand why i cared about that story more than her, i was seeking closure.
tfw Warhammer Total War is more historical than Rome 2 and no one is even saying a word about it.fucking eerie.
>>487454225Did you get it?
>>487454201There's the first 'large' bait post of the thread, we usually get 2 or 3. Get your popcorn ready for the next two absurdly large posts with absurdly retarded shit being said.

>>487455194>"get your hands off of my croissant!">"i see you practice your base 10 well!"
>>487454239Not really. We know that a lot of it is historically inaccurate. For example most researchers agree that the Nasty Skulkers mentioned in many Dawi primary sources operated as an integrated part of goblin formations rather than as independent units. Similarly there isn’t a single imperial document dated to the reign of Karl Franz that mentions any action by Markus Wulfhart in Lustria. Not to mention the depiction of Druchii is borderline Asur propaganda which has largely been disproven by imperial, Bretonnian and Dawi archeological work done at former location of Naggarond.

>>487457379>majority of their apm is meaningless spam clickingOkay go beat any of the top RTS players with 60APM, 1 click per second should be enough right? Trophy winners are doing 3 different actions in 1 second, so you would need to be at least 180APM theoretically to win or you're just getting outplayed. Then if you think units and pathing is always 1 click and they're good, you're a fucking moron, you click 5 or so times for one move action, seeing the units response and pathing, and making tiny immediate reactions like you're helping a baby walk for the first time. Everything posted was bullshit out of reddit.(you)

Dark Elves were cool but perhaps a little too strong. Darkshards are a tier 1 unit that can still serve you well on turn 100. The Dark Elf economy might be the strongest in Warhammer 3.I am thinking about trying Epidemius next. We shall see if he is as powerful as some people say.

So you can better anticipate the map type before you get to a settlement.Immortal Empires Expanded opens up the world map more.I don't even know why i'm searching all this right now, this shit is broken in my game, two new hotfixes got pushed through in the past few hours, one just happened 10 minutes ago so i'll check with these mods on if my campaign is working right again with all the major mods turned on.
>>487464534I have a 95 turn Malekith campaign. Got a lot of envoy anchilleries so i managed to be a good guy. Saved Teclis and Imrik's asses and got military alliences with them.After that i realized i had to eliminate all HEs to get long victory and cheevo.Never touched DEs since. Fuck CA.
>>487447921>hundred cool chinese monsters>have 0 (zero) of themNah. Worst part is they're likely not getting any more DLCs. I'm seething Empire got guns and cav in their DLC.
It has to be some stolen reddit post. He's not actually posting about his mp battles in /twg/, right?
>>487468416I am sorry to hear that. CA should add a military alliance workaround for long victory.I did notice that the Shrine of Asuryan provides +50 relations with Dark Elves and +100 relations with High Elves. Maybe Dark Elves will get another look alongside the Slaannesh DLC.

>>487461224I doubt that for Med 1, provinces were board game tiles.In Rome 1 and Med 2 the battle maps were generated based on the terrain of the campaign map where the battle took place.I think Rome 2 and Attila had that feature too, not certain with Empire and Napoleon but I'd wager they had it.Iirc Shogun2 abandoned that but they still did a pretty good job of masking it with their map selection.Certainly also helped that previous games had bigger battle maps compared to Warhammer.

Genuine question here for the history players. What makes you play those titles over warhammer ones? I thought I would give it a go and tried some of the non-warhammer titles and I just found it incredibly boring to me. I'm not hating here, just personal preference and was wondering why exactly you choose to play them. Do you just not like the fantasy genre? For me, having different variants of the same men was incredibly sleeper for me and like the variety of units in the warhammer titles. Please give me your thoughts without seething, I'm actually curious here.

Is there any reason to chase after settlement battles, or just field battles?How does gold and xp work now?
>>487483564it's great and one of the things CA needs to keep up, that and campaign customization
It seems that generals in Pharaoh - Dynasties are incredibly vulnerable. Be careful, lest you lose the King of the Universe to a single lobbed stone.
>>487484639Because playing on Earth with actual and recognizable historical civilizations is fun, it's really that simple. Unit limitations can certainly be a turnoff to some but it's all in the mechanics, if the mechanics are good even games that are mostly copy paste factions across the board like Shogun 2 can be great.
Which races have the best and worst start pos distribution?My votes are;Rats for best; border princes, bad lands, dark lands, border of the chaos wastes, lustria, deep cathay. Extremely wide choicesGreenskins for worst; shockingly bad? you have grom in brettonia, and grimgor in western mountains of mourn, and the rest are in-between them.
>>487469486shogun 2 would give you a battle map based on the campaign map. it made fighting on river crossings easy because the bridge map completely broke the ai.
Next TW leaked map
>>487469486Pretty sure the field maps are based on campaign generation in Shogun 2. The naval and city maps definitely aren't, best example is if you fight the Takeda. When you fight a field battle near Kai, you can see Mt Fuji to the south. When you invade the actual castle of Kai, it's nowhere to be scene and the terrain is generic for that specific siege map.

>>487486012I hope they move Durthu to Ind so there aren't 2 wood elf LL in the same place. I wonder who is moving there. The only ones that seem obvious are Skrag and Epidemius
>>487484639Units actually have variable uses, warhammer units typically have 1 formation and 1 rock paper scissors thing they're good against.Halberd units get slaughtered by arrows in warhammer, but in historicals I can put them in loose formation, so maybe they can reach the archers before they waver. If I have a shield unit, do i use shieldwall to block arrows from the front, or loose formation to mitigate damage from all directions?Archers are bad in forests becasue trees block the arrows, but in 3 kingdoms my archers can shoot fire arrows to set the forest on fire.Also the maps are 3 times the size of the average Warhammer 3 map so you can actually manuever units even if both sides have full armies.
>>487486878they came from all over the place, not just greece

>>487486878Several were Aegeans, but many were from Anataloia, Sicily and Sardinia as well, they weren't all Greeks.
>>487486878The Sea People came from all over the Mediterranean, some came from the Balearic Islands and Sardinia and god knows where else.

I always get #1 power rating by turn 10 or so. I was about to play as Snikch when Cathay first came out and my buddy was gonna play as Cathay but then he tried them out in some battles and after two hours of multiplayer battling he just kept getting his shit wrecked and finally came to the conclusion "everyone online is complaining they suck to, i'm not playing an entire campaign with them i'm going ogres, even everyone on reddit is complaining".What a fucking joke. Ah well, maybe Snikch playthrough after patching is finally done.>>487486592You don't got 300 bucks stuck in some couch cushions or old pants buried in your closet?>>487486878>my nigga completely forgets the fuckers that were world reknowned for their insanely bright and vivid purple clothing and had the best ships in the world to the point other sea niggas started just buying ships from themYou non Warhammer dudes are fucking tiresome with how dumb you are. Go read the Bible at least and catch up on some mandatory white man history.
>>487487792Sherden and Peleset are the playable ones, and they're the most famous and most well attested ones so that makes sense.
High Elves > Dark Elves > Wood Elves
>>487487987Based. Except for the part where you even mention the Wood Elves. Never played them never will. They're only good for eating.
>>487487792sherden and palaset are playable and start in the southern coast of the Hittite Empire and coast of Canaan respectively the other sea people start slowly trickling in from off-map, not sure how Dynasties handles the Sea People of Greek Origin tho, ideally they should only spawn if Mycenae or Troy fall
>>487487987>>487488313Counterpoint:
>>487487164I wasn't big on how Troy's Lycians are this weird pseudo-Memnon style coalition of lots of far off units (Not as far as him, but farer than you'd expect). Felt like making them the sea people faction back in Troy would have made perfect sense as you'd get: Aeneas (spammable hordes), Hektor (Sturdy defensive), Paris (archery), Sarpedon (Swordsmen aplenty but weaker chariotry).>>487484496>Thoroughly destroyedThey literally lost their alphabet. Seared in my head was seeing some archaeological site mapping for the Pylos region in the late bronze age and then 800s or 900s. It's like 117 different settlement/habitation sites for the pre collapse, and maybe 15 for the post collapse. The bronze age collapse seems like it hit Greece particularly hard because elsewhere they bounce back quick enough but the Greeks just went total fucking apocalypse.>>487484331>Thrace is a pillar of civilizationWhat them redheads got a pillar of, besides Trees.

>>487489903In function they served as kings, not tribal chiefs, the cities they ruled over were settled and cultured, not tribes.
Which lord are you most excited for:U'zhul SkulltakerGorbad IronclawGolgfag ManeaterArbaal the Undefeated
>>487489903uhhh... we don't really know. There are really no documents that detail how Mycenean Greece was organized during the late bronze age. We will probably never know that much because they probably kept a lot of documents about stuff like that on wooden tablets which is perishable compared to clay or stone tablets of other nations. The only other country to have significant contact are the Hittite and they do have some records about Ahhiyawa but it's not exactly a great history about the place. The general belief I've seen from people like Trevor Bryce, who I think is one of the best people in the field, is that Mycenean Greece was organized into several large-ish states based around different centers of power like Mycenae, Pylos, Sparta and others. Sort of petty kingdoms that you wouldn't call tribal but not any sort of unified empire that many historians have suggested or that the Illiad might depict.

WINDBLADE CARRIER
>>487488908Would make sense.>>487489551Honestly it's why you can't go too deep into genetics autism or you go insane. >>487489903https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AnaxFrom what I remember, the late bronze age had diplomatic exchanges among the great kings (Hittites, Babylon, assyria, Egypt, when they were around Hurri-Mitanni king) that was reminescent of the royal relationships between 1815 and 1914. Where you are both cordial but also mean-girls-gossip-y shits. Because you're refraining from existentially fighting one another (Until the end I guess) and instead more engaging in diplomacy familiar to us post 1945 rather than the cut-throat sort you see later in the iron age. To your question the Mycenaeans were never considered part of that country club of kings. The hittites I think once, in one inscription, recognized them as a big king and then after relations soured promptly scoured it and never again. So to the proper high kings they would have resembled uppity minor kings with delusions of grandeur. Think how the big colonial powers viewed the Japanese or Italians prior to that Tsushima trouncing of the Russians, that's how I'd say they viewed the Mycenaeans (Racial element of that aside)Brotherhood of Kings is the big book you can read if you wanna go deep in it.

Arbaal and U'zhul will be tough but they shall never match Imrik or Tamurkhan.
>>487490720Boring guess is some kind of increase to captured routed enemies. Unbreakable would be fitting in that you 'steal it from him' as it were, but it'd be overpowered as shit to give to a general.>>487490380The big point that bronze age collapse scholars/writers always come back to is the inherent fragility of the system - the palace economies were excessively centralized & bureaucratized + everything was reliant upon a single trade good (Tin) from far off to the Middle East (except possibly South-east Egypt), most commonly Spain/England/Afghanistan. And in turn the obvious parallels is our own modern economies. The 1178 book that really made the bronze age collapse popular (I think) attributed this to oil, but microchips feels just as apropos and the centralized/bureaucracy you could read into with crowdstrike. Of course what really did them in was just everything going bad at once: climate change, instability, war, trade collapse, migration and invasion and internal unrest. Imagine that happening. haa haaheeheehoo hoo>>487491241I like that Imrik requires you earn that power. Tamurkhan while it's a tiny bit dicy up to Kholek after that it's just brain go brrrr fatman go makin corpses.
>>487490441Gorbad, I can't wait to play as an actual orc warlord (no, Grimgor doesn't count)(no, Azhag doesn't count either))
You want to read something that seem facetious but might actually be true?Morathi is overall a better lord than Malekith on both the battlefield and the campaign map.
>>487491516For me it's the updated mechanics. I'd like Azhag except death magic is snooze and he's got nothing special to him. Paunch has a neat mechanic but I don't want to just go gobbo.>>487491526Explain.
>>487491178Either Cathay or Tilea is my guess. Those makes the most sense to me but Tilea is kind of close to Skrag so maybe they would move one. I could really see Golgfag having any starting position.

Only exception might be chors but even then.

Hello guys. I plan to play a campaign for at least 12 hours straight today. Do I play Miao Ying or Alarielle? I want to paint the whole map. Thoughts on either lord and/or faction? I'm leaning towards Miao.

>>487491648>>487491516My complaints about greenskins:Tech tree sucks. You're incentivised to git the gobo techs because they're more impactful than the orc ones. Waaaagh campaign mechanic is annoying because you basically get a crap stack with no lord and no replenishment. It gets fucked up by lightning strike and ambush. It's way better than it was, but now it just encourages auto resolve. Goblin big boss capacity is at t4. Not in line with modern design. Lots of units you'll never use. Scrap is too scarce early game when you need it for tech tree and not worth putting on early units. It should either be more common or do more. Orcs take a back seat to the rest of the faction. Goblins are too good. Troll hags are the best caster heros. Savage orcs should just be in the regular tech tree. There's too many useless fucking buildings.

>>487494618if he did nothing wrong how come dante put him in hell?
>>487492589how do the elves look in piss yellow
>>487495054wielding a chaos artifact, cultivating blind hatred in his heart, and believing he could bend the power of chaos to goodit's a pretty basic story about someone falling to chaos
>>487495181Like a lot of units most of them look muddy in yellow. Wildwood rangers look like their tabletop models though, which is kino.
>>487494813Yeah, nobody.>pro players say hero spam is the top meta but chaos hero spam gets raped by rat shoot-kill-devicesHero units in shambles.
>>487495128Because Dante was a gaylord who deigned to speak for the divine by putting everyone he didn't like in hell while writing fanfiction where his crush loved him back.
>>487495462Which discord sent you?
Test: Which lord has the highest leadership and lacks unbreakable?
>>487493031>>487493584I decided on Miao Ying. Only problem is that I don't have the DLC :/
>>487495740Warhammer 3?
>>487495663(you)
Well the first battle was pretty easy. Didn't lose any HP at all.
>>487495128>dantewell I Dante care what that retard had to say
God I wish Sartosans would just route and let another unit take over instead of fighting to death for no reason.
>>487495651https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKhY2kD4jxI
>>487496925When are you sending your Sartosan free company doom swarm to Legend?
>>487495829>he doesn't play with the 1.5mb file that gives you every expansion/dlc ever releasedOh dear, looks like we got a fresh one.>>487496925>i wishThere's a mod for that.
>>487496925I may have won but hat was the dumbest fight of all time. >>487497134idk what that is.
>>487494618The armor thing was kinda shitty of him.
What is the key to victory when playing Norsca? Any particular units that we should be relying on?
>>487497746I was just using fimir and nothing else
>>487497746Use the new campaign button and choose Skaven if victory is what you seek.>fly things thinks they can just fly in front of shoot things
>>487497415to be fair he did regret that and I don't think it was ever his intention to make Ajax fucking kill himself
>>487497746>>487498302Are armored skinwolves not better than fimir? Or ice trolls for that matter?
>>487497415Odysseus deserved Achilles' armor though, he was the only one who really rooted for him in the Iliad.
>>487497232>>487498650>guns behind artilleryno wonder they're not making any shots on those manticores, why'd you think putting a wall in front of them was a good idea?
>>487499124I look exactly like this creature.
>>487496527Theyre pretty severely outmanned
What starter fights could you beat the LL you're up against if you were playing the shitter faction?
>>487499998I've beat Imrik's, Kostaltyns, pretty much every minor Cathay faction's, Luthor Harkon's, and probably more.
>>487499124>he doesn't knowWell i hope you're new at least, but that is prime placement, and they are all firing. All things flying and walking died. Especially my own impenetrable Skaven wall>>487495462
Lol I got offered drugs.>>487499742Yeah I didn't expect a proper fight. I usually manually fight if I'm going to steamroll them because it's fun and I auto resolve if it's going to be annoying.
>>487410018I just want to say I love CA and I love reddit and I'm so heckin proud of this wholesome community for beating the fantasy chuds
>>487500621>they are all firingvideo evidence suggests otherwise. verdict: severe cope.
>>487500951>>487495462Chaos hero status: all deadChaos player status: suicide watchSkaven gun status: all firin, 1 lossSkave superiority enjoyers: still winning
>>487495462>>487501203What the fuck is that WoC army? How many mods are you using that you ended up with that abomination? 12 LLs? The fuck?
>>487501876It's the strategy pros use, good olllllle hero spam. They believe heros should replace regiments. But they get bogged down and then slaughtered.No mods, this is just basic multiplayer battles. That battle was with no unit caps.
>>487502150You have 36 units in your army and your opponent has 12 LLs in his. This battle is a joke.
I hate rats so fucking much
>>487502421>this is what experts believe is bestI laugh as well.Khorne and Chaos players love their big expensive beasts that just get raped. Norsca try spamming mammoths and trolls just to get denied by Skaven units that cost half.But yeah if anyone tells you to start replacing your regiments with heros, it might seem fun, but it's baaaa bombin if you're up against any good army like the Skaven.
Has that Pharaoh update released yet? I know it's sometime today. If so, how is it? If not, are people looking for ward to it? I think it looks pretty good. Just adding in the Greeks and pushing the map out has got me interested enough to try it. Egyptians and their neighbours wasn't enough for me before. Shame We didn't get the whole Mediterranean/Europe, but not sure much was happening West or North of Greece at that time.
>>487503268It's shit, it blue screens every couple of turns
>>487502475get a cat, killing rats is literally why we domesticated them in the first place
>>487503268it comes out in 12 hours if I'm not mistaken most people are looking forward to Babylon tho, not the greekoids
>>487503268It releases tomorrow.>>487503368Nice falseflagging faggot.
>>487503268Comes out 10AM EST thursday. 14 or something Bong time.>>487503518>AssyriaPeople looking forward to cavalry>Gayreeks and troiboisPeople looking forward to Achilles or to, I don't know really>BabylonPeople looking forward to Temple Ishtar prostitutes who may or may not be futa.
>>487503593I have early access, not everyone is some irrelevant nigger like you.
>>487503593>It releases tomorrow.But it's the 25th TODAY
>>487503843Oh, it's early morning in Bongland right now, I forgot. Yeah, you get it at 3 PM or so.
>>487503518>most people are looking forward to Babylon tho, not the greekoidsI know we already had them in Troy, but that one was too small. I'm interested in Greeks fighting cultures that aren't basically identical to their own like the Trojans. Doing a naval invasion of Egypt will be fun with them.
It pisses me off that the Australians and Kiwis get everything first. One day, the Sun will rise from the west.
>>487504080not judging, I hope you have fun with chudgamemnonI'm just saying a lot of people love Babylon, they're interesting fellas
form an alliance? y/n
>>487503772Fucking annihilated. At least bury that man and phone his parents about what happened here.
>>487504301Non-Aggression Pact? *Threatens*
>>487504285Bless em. Yeah I've never been bit by the Babylon bug. Not sure why, but I I just never think of them. I might go the Kushite Egyptian guy as well. That area down there is pretty interesting in most TW games. I know so little about Bronze Age nations so I might learn about some and get more interested in them.
>>487503772Link your twitch or youtube channel then "content "creator."
>>487504516>Please dox yourself breaking the TOSNo.
I campaign post on /twg/ every week. Why won't CA give me early access and free DLC?
>>487504768Okay, shitter, no one believes your falseflagging then.
>>487504780Because they want you to use the 1.5mb file that unlocks it all for free.
https://youtu.be/jaUrltdTGlE?si=DkcmnVuvwIlR9N5i>that brief Troy sceneniceu
>>487504917Enjoy your bricked PC, I tried to warn you.
>>487504845
>>487505048Why are none of the other people streaming the game getting bricked PCs?
>>487504845thats a femboy not a futa. cock isnt big enough to be a futa
>>487504845is that what they did in ancient greece?
>>487500776Nigger you literally got this from reddit. You're one of the faggot retard nigger posters who constantly browse, and probably post on, reddit and then blatantly cross post on 4chan to go "haha wow fucking reddit guys"
>>487504080Yeah they never seem to get the lesson that we want a wide varied big map to conquer, not the same pond. >>487504845Sadly all I know art wise is Ishtar with Fate, and lots of sloppa AI of a vaguely orientalist kind of Ishtar. Oh nevermind it's mostly fate ishtar too. Gotta suck to suck when some modern thing uses the name of your ancient thing and becomes so much more popular it gets choked out. What do you think about that, mystery cult of Isis?If there's some memetic description about Astarte's ancillary or building mentioning 'and her followers shall no know fear' that's going to increase the 40k speculation
>>487505406Actually I got it from the other site
This rat poster is trying way too hard>>487504845Wait, did they finally add female units to Pharoah? Am.... am I finally going to play it ?!?!?
>>487506292Look at the image harder, that's no female.
>>487503843And the 26th is the new expansion of Path of Exile
>>487506562EDF 6 also comes out in a few hours which is going to take most of my time for the next month or so. But I'll use Pharaoh as a refresher between sessions.
>>487506410It's a very feminine cock
I only play factions with a female LL
>>487506793Uh huh, one question. Are you me?
>>487484639whoa is that a pic of Brogan Danheim?
>>487484639I enjoy the Warhammer Titles, but in a different way than I enjoy the historical titles.Historical Titles which I like, have family trees and roleplay at a smaller scale level. From general to general. Family member to family member. Also matched combat. I like that.Warhammer's appeal is this gigantic playset of a bunch of cool toys. Which has its own appeal, and it is nice.
>think about babylon being playable in pharaoh>imagine playing as nebu-CHAD-nezzar>remember that he was a late iron age king and not bronzeslop when the game actually takes placeliterally how did ca ever think that bronzeslop was a good idea for a game?
>>487508097Most underage post ITT.
>>487508097Nobody cares about the Neo-Babylonians except the Jews. They didn't even last 100 years LMAO
>>487508601>nobody cares>yet he built one of the wonders of the ancient worldare you sure you aren't a jew trying to downplay his accomplishments?
>>487499006I dunno, I just think fimir are cooland they did well enough
>>487508887He built the Hanging Gardens according to only one source, and that's assuming they even existed. Unlike the others we have no archeological proof they existed.
I haven't been this excited for Total War since Rome 2. I'm excited for Total War Pharaoh Dynasties
>>487510206ugh here we go again..
>>487510206snip
>>487510606damn anon. you horny.
>>487488496Counterpoint to your counterpoint
Spotted this todayWhy would this unit description text have one random word changed meaninglessly when copied to a Khorne variant?Its tiny but just scratches my curiosity as to how this happens
>>487497406It's strange the only 2 Norse women in game are1) Not members of the Norsca faction 2) Legendary Lords3) dedicated anti-large Well the last one kind of makes sense. Maybe Norsca will get a female generic lord with a spear or halberd.

>>487514595How did you manage to not only make the game run like shit but also look like shit?

>>487518354Garbage can Total History game. Warhammer is all there is in life.
>>487518959Did not ask.
>>487517268Did CA kicked this guy out of their programs? he's one of the biggest CA's cocksuckers I've ever seen, he defends the most low garbage that CA's shits on his plate and he's pissed about Pharaoh?

Oh cool, thanks. That's...really useful.

ay yo Total War Pharaoh Dynasties bouta be fire.
>>487489903they had cites and towns so that counts as being a king.
>>487520445bro, your marauder horsemen
>>487513421probably they wrote it one way but then the writer decided to change it because he thought it sounded better, but then someone else copy pasted the old version for the dlc unit and no one noticed it was different until captain autism on /twg/
>>487491854Though that was Ahriman for a second.
>>487520978I'm not him. But when i do play Chaos i do not associate myself with barbarian filth. My armies are entirely dick cannons, Chosen, and giants.
>>487521773chaos warriors and chosen are probably at least 50% norscans

>>487522247CA is moving on from historical games, that's why Sofia is transitioning to Warhammer dlc
>>487521947Wrong. Norscans are the first people i wipe off the planet every Chaos playthrough, i remove their settlements and their people completely never to be recovered or spoke of again, and then i start working my around murdering the things that look most similar to them one after another.NO. FILTHY. STINKY. MONGRELS. Dicks, big smashems, and Chosen.>>487522247You history niggers really need your own thread. There's like 5 people playing Total War 2 and you choose to be here shitting up the Skaven thread instead of helping out your games numbers.Here's an idea, if you want a 3, go gather support for 3 and play 2 to show them there's an audience waiting for a 3. The more you act like a faggot here the more you ain't gonna get your gay 3rd game.Also, Star Wars and 40k are coming to Total War before your faggy shit.Maybe then Skaven posting will become Gungan posting. Bliss.
>>487524035Bro if people start gungan posting that'd be THE END of /twg/. It's too much. Not Gungans. No way.
>>487524035how long has this guy been doing this?
>>487524628Meesa thinks it would be okay.
>>487524035So this is what Warhammer does to people
>>487524945Like a week or two? Maybe?I don't think he was here last month evenIt's summer
>>487525018Just a theory, but I think he might be acting silly to provoke a reaction.
>>487524628You aren't one of those rejects that hates Episode 1 are you?Just imagine the mods for Total War Star Wars. They'll have an announcer mod for your battles to do play-by-plays when crazy shit happens on the battlefield.>"oh i don't care what universe you're from- THAT'S GOTTA HURT!">"that little gungan is outta his mind!"It can't come quick enough. My battle boner is already vibrating itself into a lightsaber as we speak!>>487525018You can leave Skaven thread whenever you want and go post in a seperate 1,000 playerbase thread.
>>487524945This specific retard? 2-3 threads now.
>>487525417What did you reach last thread? 90 Skaven superiority seethe posts? What are you up to now in this thread? You alone maybe 15? Right?

>>487526463>speaks in [schizo ramblings]You weren't here to remember it so I'll give you a pass but the 'sharty literally made /twg/ unusable for months. Multiple threads had to be pruned by the jannies. Poor little 'een, you'll never be able to do that kind of damage.

Just want to tell you guys I told you this would happen.Total War Pharaoh Dynasties brings back historical total war. Puts it on the map again.
>>487529341Which map?

Really hope Sofia will get a chance to make improvements/additions to the battle maps in WH3.I wasn't a huge fan of Troy or Pharaoh, but the maps are gorgeous and overall dunk on the ones in WH3. It drives me up the wall with those awkward scattered patches of forest and the maps where they didn't seem to have bothered color balancing properly.
