I don't think they ever ceased army production, but they do start accounting for your strength as well, when considering going to war and such.
I haven't had as much of a problem with it in 3 compared to 2, though, so they might have toned that down at some point.

Easily fixed if your allies could give you missions and objectives to be accomplished within X turns. If you could also do the same and the they were rated based on individual faction strength for solo ones or dual effort ones - Siege or Attack X in 5 turns and we will consider becoming allies, the effort officiates an allegiance during and then after or makes a defensive one a full alliance.

Of course you could have a button in the menu to make for lore friendly allies only for that campaign. This could be built on for properly divergent and narrative, player driven campaigns. Maybe make major promises like securing the Empire or taking back Karaz a Karak after it has fallen and the entire province and giving it back to the dwarves when or if they lose it.

You could have random mini campaigns in order to confed certain lords like Morathi working with Malekith to undermine and break Hellebron where she will be cornered and beaten enough to beg for mercy and so on. You could have dwarf reclamation missions within the race itself to revive other factions and have the option to absorb the newly risen faction or let it be re-established just like it exists now with Elector Counts. All of this could be expanded on a thousand fold.

None of this requires cutting edge scripting or anything just appropriation of the existing dilemma scripts and tapping into and refining diplomacy.

Depends on the units. If it's something like tier 1 spearmanii I just disband them if there's no lord nearby. If it's something more useful then I transfer them to a different army. Especially if it's ranged, cavalry or siege units.

I have a question to lorefags or more specifically grogs that played the tabletop. I get that the idea was for players to use this place as a home for their own OC armies. Now did anyone actually do this or did most players paint armies based on Reikland, Averland, Wissenland and so forth?
Because if not the entire place seems like a waste of potential. GW just left an area entirely barren which could've easily housed fantasy versions of ancient Greeks, the Byzantines, Hungary or just generic Balkanoids.

No one at my LGS ever played anything border princes related, but it was a fairly small shop and we didn't even have a player for each individual 'major' armybook faction, so that's hardly saying much.
In my personal opinion having this kind of semi-blank possibility space is good for any fantasy setting, it gives the players the opportunity to create their own shit (This is just as, possibly more, relevant for people who played the Tabletop RPG than for people who played the wargame) and it lets you easily slot in new shit with the ability to say it was just there the whole time.
And it's not like the Border Princes is actually totally blank, there's a decent amount of principalities that have been described in some meaningful level of detain in some source or another and many, many more if you go by locations that have just like, a name a short, simple description.

Personally I also think that having the Border Princes be a wild frontier is more interesting than adding Generic NotGreeks in the same vein as the Generic NotItalians of Tilea. And if GW actually wanted Fantasy Greeks/Byzantines it's not like they couldn't have added them anyway while still keeping the Border Princes. Back when they were actually still adding major factions the entire setting, map included was very much in flux and in the later editions when everything was 'locked in' they wouldn't have added new major factions anyway.

you're talking about stuff that's 3200 years old, if it weren't for graves sealed for all those thousands of years we wouldn't have that many artifacts surviving
for Mycenaeans there's also the unfortunate fact that unlike Egyptians and Mesopotamians the Greeks didn't like writing that much

Eldar were definitively not good. Dark Eldar is what the Eldar were before the fall. Craftworld Eldar were a minority sect that renounced their culture when they discovered that slaanesh will be born.
>>
>>487561598
Nta but iirc the eldar were more or less normal originally (similar to high elves in fantasy) but progressed towards being more like dark eldar out of sheer boredom. They conquered the stars and no one had to work so they became more degenerate over time until their fall.
>>
>>487561598
Technically it wasn't really related to slaanesh, they didn't suspect that cataclysm would happen. They just thought their society had degenerated and as a consequence their empire will fall and millions must die.

Anyone ever done an all-melee (or nearly all-melee) elf unit army in their Wood Elf campaign?
(Not including Drycha armies)
Some Wood Elf melee units seem pretty cool, but every time I play as the Wood Elves I tend to make range-focused armies, just too fun shooting everything to shit before it reaches your lines.
I played a Crone Hellebron campaign a few months back and tried an all-melee army with her using sisters of slaughter, witchelves, and Har Ganeth executioners and no missile units and it was surprisingly fun.

Nowadays most factions got around 4 totaly different way to create capable and fun armies, but way back WE got so much diversity that it wasnt even funny when you play something like bretonia after WE campaign.
I think they are still in top when it comes to how many totaly different yet good army compositions they have.

Dozens of provinces? Not many TW games do that. Off the top of my head I really can only think of Barbarian Invasion and Attila. Rome, Medieval 2 and Rome 2 all have you start with a few provinces but not that many.
>>
>>487568628
>Penthes
I was thinking more Penthesilea just leading a faction otherwise composed of men. Maybe with an amazon unit. Similar to how the Scythians in some of the older games would have a female cav unit. Basically make Penthesilea a Bronze-age Tomyris. Not literally leading Amazons but just being a warrior queen.

>>487569590
Didn't test it enough but they are weaker in a prolonged fight but thanks to their speed and responsiveness they can more easily pick targets. Also they are REALLY fragile so you must be careful in picking targets. They will die to any unit that braces for their charge. They are ideal for hunting ranged infantry which is super powerful now.

Wouldn't surprise me if attila had, a hidden, formation healthbar.
With Shogun2 I know for a fact that all units had just 1 hp, with the exception of the general which has 2hp.
Iirc ashigaru bows did 0.3 damage and samurai 0.4, while matchlock had the aforementioned 2 damage.
Although no one ever found out the formula for melee damage calculations.

>>487573603
Meh, armor still reduces the damage of ranged and yari wall is primarily just economical. They aren't good enough to 1v1 samurai but so cheap you get the numbers advantage for the same money.

Heroes are kinda shit and long yari are a special unit which not only have noticeably better stats, the longer spear also means enemy units have trouble getting close enough to so damage.
Long yari have 7 attack vs 4 of ordinary yari, 5 defense vs 3, 3 armor vs 2 and 1 more morale too. With those low stats even +1 makes a huge difference long yari aren't at all comparable to normal yari ashigaru.
Ordinary ashigaru in yari wall will lose to katana samurai while the latter don't even lose 50% of their men.

Tbh that was a reason why I didn't really get into Carthage in Rome2 and I love carthage. It's a reason I like their shift towards decentralization more often. Bloated empires aren't fun to play as unless you are getting torn apart (WRE/ERE in Attila).

Checking the assets since I'm a dirty dumb modder, setn (That's rammy2's son right?) has a shit load of stuff armor wise. Disciples of Sekmet, state equipped nubian longbowmen, nakhtu, expeditionary (not clear what it is but looks libu), red land amror,

And then this! Mycenaean armor with booba

Is there good mod support for Pharaoh? I don’t own the game but dynasties has me interested, I’m just worried about unit variety and mods are usually good at addressing that.
>>
>>487589624
Ramsesses is pretty much the intended starter character, yeah.

>>487589790

I'm an AOR/Auxiliafag so native units is what I love to see. Frankly the whole dynast system works perfectly for a medieval 3 and claimants to the throne.
>CA sofia does M3
>But the monkey's paw curls and they release with just British Isles + France

>>487589790
Impossible to say right now. Agony was/is the big name mod (besides radious and >Radious) that released for troy and Pharaoh. There's a risk of brain drain but given the higher variety you can run with for Pharaoh now it's viable to see more units. The main thing I'd expect to see soon enough is cavalry mods.

I'm working on some texturing, I'd like to do a 730 BC mod but I am not sure how much one man can pull that off. So my thinking is I'll stagger it - first retextures, then new units (IE still the base campaign experience but some iron age stuff added), then if I can learn how and it's not difficult change faction placements and lords and such. Since I like that 700 period as you get some new options opening up like Lydian lancers.

its easy to mod like all the total war games but also has a shitload of axemanii and spearmanii so you dont really need more of those

>>487538817
Cimmerians are among the oldest races, descended from the Atlanteans, who arrived from a land which long ago sunk beneath the waves and was lost to history. As a race, they have scarcely changed in appearance, demeanor, or temperament. Like the Atlanteans, they are dark-haired and have eyes of gray, blue, or green. They are tall and rangy, with powerful builds, while their skulls are long. Unlike the Nordheimer, though, Cimmerians are generally darker-skinned, almost as much so as the Picts, a race they deeply despise. Also, like the Picts, Cimmerians are adept climbers, able to find purchase in any rock-face or tree and scale it quickly without fear. In temperament, Cimmerians are a dour and moody lot, practical, yet proud, prone to both brooding and boastfulness, often maddened by the futility of life. Cimmerians only exult in the heat of battle, since the rest of the time their moods are black and occasionally morose.
To a Cimmerian, family and kith are the strongest bonds, since their clans spread across settlements and throughout the land, so they might find kin-folk far and wide. It's rare for a Cimmerian to become curious about the world beyond their village, much less showing an interest in anything outside their grim and bleak country. Their language, called Cimmerian by others and Gaeilge by the Cimmerians themselves, is their own, and is not spoken outside their lands. It has little in common with the speech of other folk, and has more to do with the Atlantean strain than any of the Hyborian tongues spoken by their neighbors in the south, or the language of the Nordheimer.
Cimmerians, as a people, are independent and clannish. They consider themselves as stubborn foes, holding fast in their hills, their valleys, and their bogs, resisting even the ancient Acheronians, who could gain no purchase against them, leaving the fierce hillmen to their own rocky abode

Sounds pretty cool, wish you luck anon. It would have been nice if they added more of Iran for a potential Rise of Persia sort of mod, but obviously we frankly just don't have a lot of detail on what was happening there in the bronze age. Still, if they did that(even if just the western portions) Pharaoh could be a pretty neat map for like a Rise of Persia or even Diadochi wars campaign.

What the other anons said, trade is incredibly important because most factions usually start with at most one of them. Protect your general, they're not one man armies like in Warhammer and die even easier with the new lethality system. Get chariots ASAP because even if you don't want to use them in battle due to their finickiness most of the time period is infantry so you want at least something to run enemies down.

Maneuverability and ability for units to operate indepdendently. A phalanx was basically one massive unit. Sure they might be organized into separate phalanxes but tactically they basically formed a massive spiky wall. The roman army meanwhile was much more individually organized, stemming from its roots in the warband system of italian warfare. Tactically, early roman troops were basically skirmishers who can fight in melee when they have to. So if they saw a phalanx, they could more adeptly lead it into terrain to disrupt it, or flank it etc. Additionally since roman armies were not supplied by the state/King directly as in the east, but rather by either themselves or a much closer relationship to some sort of patron, their equipment was quite good and well developed since they had more of an incentive to get the best possible gear for themselves/their immediate subordinates if they were a noble leading troops.

More empty space makes field battles far more common to break the monotony of endless sieges. This is by far my favorite change, the map takes time to get around so maneuvering matters instead of a bunch of people just beelining for settlements.

There's also more detail per area, most areas have ~2-3 times the settlements to make fighting over them more fun and last longer. This helps campaigns feel more like classic Warhammer campaigns, bringing the detail level from worldwide conquest to national conquest.
The war for Karak Eight Peaks is actually fought by Belegar, Skarsnik, and Queek, and takes longer than a single settlement battle. The Darklands contrasts between wide empty reaches of desert with a few small settlements and dense clusters of settlements at major fortresses, with Zharr Naggrund as a multi-province industrial area in the middle of a slave revolt. Mountain ranges are labyrinths, giving Underway races a serious advantage there. Athel Loren is actually a whole bunch of wood elf kingdoms, so you can spend a big part of your campaign conquering it instead of bumrushing 5 settlements. There's also a big pirate area with factions based on Dreadfleet if you like nautical stuff, and you can spend most of your campaign doing sailing around doing pirate stuff instead of conquering Ulthuan or w/e.
There's also more faction variety in each area; so an average long campaign will see you play against most factions.

The LLs are also way more spread out in most areas, meaning you get to fight them after they get their cool toys instead of fighting Teclis with a stack of spears and archers. Notable exception is Albion which is a bloodbath of cool LLs that don't really fit the main map but which could have conceivably fought in the 2002 Albion campaign, like Kroq Gar, Yuan Bo, or Morathi.

they get mention in both Troy and Mycenae's intros as already having fallen, which is accurate because they got conquered by Greeks a couple centuries earlier and were no longer relevant

IE, ME and TWW1 maps are shitty themeparks where everything is too small and too close to each other. No faction has the chance to grow to be the powerhouse to oppose the player. Cities are so close to each other that every battle is a siege, which also forced CA to remove minor settlement battles to make room for normal battles. IE also wasted map expansion on fanfiction Asia instead of upscaling areas that matter.
The Old World cuts the bloat out and resizes actually important regions to proper size. Now Bretonnia and Athel Loren aren't embarrassingly small and you can have proper campaigns in them. And that's not to mention how great the Empire is now or how fun actually retaking the realms as Dwarfs is. There is even a proper fight for Karak Eight Peaks between Belegar, Queek and Skarsnik.
All ChaosRobbie has to do is make similar map for Elves and there is no reason to ever touch IE to be honest.

It's just normal pvp, you make a multiplayer battle game, then select any of the hundred maps, or download custom ones. You can filter maps that have objectives or certain layouts like castles and whatnot.

There's some cool maps that have endless enemy spawns. You can also set how big the armies are, unit type caps, unlimited herounits, and assign how much gold each army gets starting out to build their army. 9k-13k is the norm in most pvp games. you'll see 20k-30k too, or like 15k with two small 7k armies, one starting and one reinforcing.

Tried out Pharaoh Dynasties today after buying the original game and then not really playing it Mostly just because I got distracted playing other games, what little I played it seemed fine, I have to ask: How lethal is the game towards characters?

Yes.

No, seriously, I know people would be furious. But if they revealed "Medieval 3: No 3D map" I would be all over it. It was a bad idea in Rome 1, it continued to be a bad idea in Medieval 2, and it's been a millstone around the game since then.

I saw that apparently it's a bug and your general is only supposed to be killable after 60% of his bodyguards die but the lethality system doesn't respect that, honestly people losing their main character to the starting enemies is fucking hilarious and CA should keep things as is

>>
>>487610298

>>487610428
There's an immortal leaders campaign option if you want, faction leaders will only die if their faction does.

>>487610763
I might. It depends on how prone the AI is to getting their generals killed. I can take or leave your own leader being easily murdered.

Is the problem the 3d map? Because when I am looking at the campaign map here, I see a https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPxqCEV-Cy8 similar-ish number of provinces, I just assume that not every province has you having to do a siege. For exmaple around 10:09 he invades wales - and it's a field battle. There's no castle. I assume M1/S1 limited castle sieges to very important provinces (IE London or paris). We don't need to go back to the primitive roots, there can just be a way of handling the question with more finesse. What happened in real life when you rolled up to a city? Either they went
>Fuck off we're not surrendering
or
>Oh shit yeah we surrender
So make the chance that a province goes over to an invading army based on variables like the dread/honor of the general, the religion/ethnicity of the general, the size of their army relative to the size and proximity of an allied army, whether there was any recent great defeats or great victories, ect. And then make sure the AI recognizes this and also understands that if you yield the field and just turtle in a garrison it increases the chance that provinces throw over to the invader IE:
>Persian army in levant after Alex victorious at Issus
>If they hold up in gaza, they increase gaza's chance of resisting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Gaza_(332_BCE)
>But if they hold up in gaza then the modifier for the persian army being in the field is drastically reduced, making other provinces in the levant and Syria less likely to stay loyal.

And possibly have 'medium cities' just provide an additional army to allied armies in the area instead of a garrison. You attack Rome? It's a siege. You attack Capua? The Romans get a free 15-20 man stack but it's a field battle.


>>487612142

>>487613094
>>I assume M1/S1 limited castle sieges to very important provinces (IE London or paris).

This is not true. In your example, there is no siege because Wales does not have a castle. In S1/M1, provinces didn't need to have settlements. However, building settlements in every province was a good idea both for the protection and to unlock more buildings. Once a province had a settlement, they invasion would still play out like in your example but afterwards you would lay siege to the castle in a way that is mostly the same to what we have now.
