>up battle difficulty>have to actually fight battles instead of stomping with autoresolvegay
>No! Do not engage in the consumption of tik-tok slop, you must focus solely on the Great Plan!
>>539990324Gobbo gool
>>539991258Just when I thought I was out, it pulls me back in...
>>539991131The youth have fallen.The Great Plan has failed.The Exodus must begin.
>>539990952Normal is the only acceptable battle difficulty for this reason. Easy gives you bullshit wins and Hard+ makes you play battles you could win with minimal micro. Not even exaggerating on that last point, I won a battle with a stack of Lothern Sea Guard that the autoresolve said I'd lose without moving them during the battle. didn't even checkerboard, just made 2 lines and let the enemy come to me.
>>539988625>>539988986>"Dreadlord of the Dookie"
>>539991674>play Delves>engage enemy>starts battle>"DOOKIE!"
>Playing Khalida campaign to try out Tomb King changes>Push north>Skrag is strength rank 1 and getting agressive>Go to sell him shitty border settlement I don't want for NAP>He's willing to become my vassalMethinks the settlement trading is a bit OP
>>539991674It's pronounced "Jew-Kai"It's why Malekith just made a speech saying he hates his opponents and wants the worse for them.
>>539992227well skrag is a tard afterall
>>539992227yet for some reason I can never get the settlements I want at a reasonable price
im scared that leakanon from yesterday is right and that m3 will not be made because of the politics behind crusades and jihad mechanics
>>539992586Anyone still expecting anything good from Medieval 3 is a fool. Even if it did have crusades and jihads, you'd still be left with>KING RICHARD OF LONDON faction>ROBIN HOOD OF NODDINGHAM factionetcWarhammer has done irreparable damage to the franchise, and I'm not talking about the fantasy elements.
>>539992361True, though I might be the biggest tard since I didn't realize the settlement in question (Galbaraz) is needed for my long victory.
>>539992227>>539992361>>539992928Stop posting this disgusting creatura
>>539991131cute Toads
>>539992227>>539992545These are kind of the same issueAI massively overvalues settlements in generalSo on the one hand when you offer them some worthless settlement you don't really want, they'll bend over backwards to get itBut they'll also hold onto the settlements they already have even more jealously, no matter what you offer them they'll demand completely exorbitant compensationThis is very much a feature in Pharaoh as well
>>539992227it was mega fucked up in another way in empire. the ai wanted literally 6 million to sell me ireland, but woldn't even give me a trade agreement in return for retaking croatia from an enemy to give back to them.
Only a TRUE Total War Gamer would get that reference
Trailet this week, friends!
>>539992586From the current UK? Fuck no
What are the good lategame units in 3K? Looking through posts online people say that onyx dragons are good, but I'm wondering if that's a remnant of how the game was before its patches because in my campaign it seems like they (and pretty much all ranged units) are useful for fuck all except burning towers.
>play Grimgor>capture the entire settlement>get chaos portal in the region>destroys my capital>campaign endedReally "fun" additions, CA!
>>539993836The diplomacy jank in the older games is kind of funny sometimesIf a faction doesn't like you a lot, you can literally offer to pay them for the privilege of joining a war to help them and they'll refuseNever mind that you can just declare war on their enemy independently anywayAlso in RTW2 whenever money is on the table the AI voice lines talk about it like you're bribing them even when you're actually extorting them
>>539994136skill issue!
>>539994136some people already complain about the rogue army razing their lone settlement, and idk why CA still thinks stuff like that is a good game design. Did they even play their own game?
>>539994136Wait that happens now?
>>539994453>Did they even play their own game?it took you this long to realize they have not played their own games for 15 years now?
Gee Empire, how come mom let's you have voice acting for every wizard type...
>>539994910they also got unique ror voice linesnow units just reuse voice lines
Are they ever releasing this DLC or what?
why don't modders use ai to generate unique voicelines?
>>539995627Yes, late october! (31st, 23:59)
>>539995675Decent programs cost money to use, takes a certain kind of autist to dump time AND money on a mod
>>539995675something about the modding cabal will throw a tantrum at you.
>>539995675Only WoW gamers can wield such power
why don't modders use ai to generate a life?
>>539996031you shut your whore mouthmodders are the only reason this dogshit game is playable
>>539994571Unstable chaos portal unusual location has a chance to raze a random settlement in a province excluding the one it is in.Costs 7000 gold to remove.
>>539996242oh shit, you got mad???? you can't do that bwo, you know that right???? that's displaying WEAKNESS, bwo

>>539990952Battle difficulty doesn't affect AR. Funny how your post and the first reply are total garbo misinformation per usual for twg.

CA and GW are the most backwards company ever when it comes to WH3 content>Finubar isnt playable because he has no tabletop unit>meanwhile special units that arent normally recruited like Nasty Skulkers and Huntsman are full blown DLC>Nuln repeater files datamined to be normally playable, stats, models and all>CA suddenly forced to patch them out and delete them from the game>Egrimm model in the game files while Tzeentch is lacking an FLC option that both Nurgle and Khorne got>turn The Cabal into an unusual location insteadIve mever seen a company so allergic to money like these 2 are

Playing the Conquest of Elysium necromancer makes me wish that either Vamp Counts had no upkeep or, better yet, Arkhan had Raise Dead
>>540000225Must be great working for CA. You'll work one day a month at most.
>>540000962>implyingsaar we are hard at work on hyenas 2
>>540000952Also I wish Vamp Count Necromancers could be turned into vampiresIn fact, remove generic Vampire Lords completely and make it all Bloodline Lords, Necromancers, and Necromancers turned into Vampire Lords
Old World mod or Immortal Empires? I love the map layout of the mod but fuck me the wait for 500 subfactions every turn is borderline unbearable
>>540001698did you try the classic one?
>>540001698You can just delete a percentage of subfactions far away from you from the config menu, but it'll still take a while even if you clear like 80+%. Old World is kinda cool if there's a LL whose position you don't like and don't want to just do a change starting settlement mod, but it isn't perfect for every individual LL (Skrolk starts in attrition and takes like 3 turns to reach a settlement which is yellow lol). My only Old World campaign that I got far in was Nakai (since you can just roam off after taking a couple territories without having to worry about them getting yoinked), but even that one I quit after a while.
>>540001805Yeah but it doesnt have the fucking epic version of Zharr Naggrund and the Galleons Graveyard like the full version
help I keep getting doubleteamed by skarbrand and wurrzag as setrra
*Womp womp*I think I'm going to decline on this fair battle~
>>539940201>Bretonnia should have dismounted grail knights that could send other infantry flying with a sword swing, like every swing is a small explosion that would send 20 skaven units flying. Just imagine.Sounds cool. I'm guessing the unit would have to have a low number of entities to stop it being over powered.
>open official twitter>it's all Empire posts nowkneel fantadogs
>>540005736Redcoats will never be allowed to be cool until America is not #1So at least another 200 years
total war more like total bore
>>539990495dire news
>>539990495That's if it gets released, lets not rule out its nearly October and that's basically holiday taking time. Not Swede levels of snow happening but close.
>Orc and Goblin dung heaps are a staple of most Greenskin encampments for various unsanitary reasons. They also like to have a large post-battle clear out inside an enemy settlement. That's nothing to do with nerves, for battle doesn't faze Greenskins. No, they like to make sure the defeated enemy has been thoroughly humiliated! Based ladz
>>540006473>greenskins are indianswtf
speaking of greenskins, are they still dogshit after OoD nerfed them?
>>540006920they will never be dogshit with waaghs and their confed mechanics

>>540009729https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2802194489
>>539999067this is literally the worst feeling. When I have front lines like this, I always send my unshielded units into suicide missions with the hope that they all die so I don't have to feel bad about disbanding them.
Do I just always make the short range steam tank?
It's due for another prince and emperor run. Have any of you played him on the old world cheat? Considering it for a change but I've a feeling it'll be too easy. I like the frantic and chaotic (!) nature of IE Franz.
>>540007541Two chaos LLs starting in the middle of the empire combined with Kislev being broken up and Dwarfs getting their shit kicked in more reliably by the factions they used to protect Franz from mean the empire has a lot more shit to deal with
>>540010668The hell blaster volley one used to be better than the cannon one bc they used to get all the elspeth volley gun bonuses with the tank bonuses active tooThey are about the same now in 1v1 tests but now I think the cannon is better since you can't do the meme shoot and scoots and just bulldozing as well any more
>>540001698unfortunately the old world dev fucked it all up in his hubris
>>540011637>since you can't do the meme shoot and scoots and just bulldozing as well any moreWhy not, did they lower its mass?
>1v1 tests

>>540013245I don't have them, but isn't Archeons chaos faction doing that?
>>540013616It was stressful times
>>540013624WoC can do it just by the nature of how warbands work, yesIt should really be a normal thing though, I should totally be able to spend some gold to toss shields at the cheap unit I recruited on turn 1 now prancing around with their triple gold chevrons, as long as they're standing in a zone that can recruit that unit normally
>>540013616makes you wonder why his name is sextus
>>540013749>personality: cheerful
Show me your last pathetic army so I can end this Yugi!
>>540011225I'd go with OW classic for much faster turn times. Its not like you'll be reaching the cut areas anyways in normal campaign.Old World plays very differently compared to IE. Distance between settlements is larger and factions are a lot bigger (even most minor factions have 5-10 settlements). This leads to very different gameplay dynamic that you may or may not like: - Since distance between settlements is longer and enemies can support multiple armies instead of 1 good stack and 1-2 shitstacks, the normal "ambush enemy main army, then steamroll the faction hopping from settlement to settlement in 1 turn" doesnt work as well. War is a much grander proposition.- Due to distance AI can also defend his homelands more effectively, as they have time to recover from ambushed main army- Alliances matter a lot more and overextending becomes a risk: if you zergrush enemy and have other enemy on other side of your borders, they will backstab you while you spend 5+ turns marching back. Strategy, diplomacy and tactical peaces play much larger part.As a result the campaign plays a lot slower instead of hyperaggressive snowball expansion. You need to forge alliances and often have smaller border patrol armies defending settlements in your hinterlands. An enrmy managing to make multiple military alliances and then attacking you may be real lose condition as they'll roll you with 30+ armies, which isnt everyone's cup of tea.
>>540007045>their confed mechanicsI just finished playing a (Warhammer 2) Crooked Moon campaign where Grimgor had (like fucking usual) swarmed over a massive chunk of the Old World. Had way more settlements and armies than me. Formed an alliance with him many turns back but I had to end his faction to achieve the campaign victory. I had 3 armies with waaagh! armies attached to them gathering around Castle Carcassonne ready to attack the Bretonnians when Grimgor appeared nearby. I set my armies with waaghs on him and krumped him and then confederated his faction.>mfw sneaky git>mfw I got schemes
>>540012578the performance was completely fine in the patch that added wheatlands to northern dark landshe then mega bloated it with the chaos realms in the corners and full dark lands + southern expansion which destroyed performance so badly its no longer tolerableim still mad because i really wanted to play the full dark lands as chorfs but thats just not reasonable with the turn timers
>>540015015It's a shame there's no equivalent of the one-turn destroyer for that map.
>>54001361614 year olds were just built different back then
when will CA give us a DLC for lizardmen that give kroxigars full plate and sallet helms so we can have some proper 10 foot tall land marines?
>>540009729its out of date
>>540015116>hojoAll hojo males are baricaded in their house at age ten up until they manage to break the seige and claim adulthood.
>>540015015Ah, yeah, I can see that. I've only been playing the classic one and I'm surprised (still am) that classic is still ~280 factions, like what the fuck.>>540014184Are you sure it's faster? It seems the same, as the # of factions is the same or very, very similar. Or is there an option to cull some shitty minor factions I've missed?
>>540014128hes seen the abyss
Lizardmen will be able to recruit again aaanny day now....
>>540017805>trust the great plan!
>>5400178562 more weeks until CA patches the game2 more updates until CA actually changes the fucking Geomantic Web2 more months until CA releases the DLC2 more years until CA releases content I actually wantTRVST THE GREAT PLAN
>>540017994They actually nerfed it with the rework which is kind of funny. It used to be a pain to build up but had huge bonuses at the end but now it's the former with even less payoff.
If you max out the Cabal Tower, what happens in the next game it shows up? Is it reset, does it go back to 90%, or does it stay at 100% and Tzeentch factions auto-conquer the world every time it shows up?
>>540011863No they just lost their strider and extra movement bonuses with the volley guns if I remember rightStill doable just used to be a lot easier
>>540019375I haven't even gotten the cabal one yet, wonder if there's a way to force it with console commands Just keep getting the dreamwine one every time
which one of these gays is the most braindead easy one to start with
>>540019942da braj
What's the deal with mercenaries in Rome 2? Is there any downside to recruiting them?It seems not, especially since there are several ways to reduce the cost
>>540019942zhatan the blacked then astragoth
>>540019942Astragoth's faction is the strongest, but he can be very tough if things go badly. You can get quick war declarations from Arbaal, Tamurkhan, Kholek and Silver Pinnacle if you don't deal with Grimgor early, and you pretty much have to deal with Grimgor early. Rush the +diplo with daemons tech to placate Arbaal
>>540020031higher upkeep cost and that's it.
Tips for playing Karak Kadrin? In Warhammer 2 so I don't have the goblin hewer and slayer pirates and all the stuff Dwarfs get in W3.I want to build a slayer-themed army but I have no idea what kind of army composition to build to work with them (or how to properly use slayers tbqh).If I put a runesmith in a slayer army which is a better option to pick: harden armour or sharpen weapons?
>>540021570>I have no idea what kind of army composition to build to work with themLongbeards and other heavies to hold the center, some ranged troops>(or how to properly use slayers tbqh).Dwarf cavalry
>>540022442>Longbeards and other heavies to hold the center, What do I use before I can recruit them? Just normal dwarf warriors?>some ranged troopsWould quarrellers be best to use to deal with unarmoured/lightly armoured enemies, because I've read that slayers don't do well being pitted against those kinds of opponents whereas they apparently 'trade up' against armoured opponents well.
>>540021570just go full slayer army for ungrim and attach his son as well>slayers or giant slayersfor your mainline infantry, usually i just use slayers because they're faster to recruit.>slayer pirates (2-4)probably don't spam them, but good harasher nonetheless>goblin hewer(2-4)their range may be short, but it will shred any SEM, and just send them in to melee if you need they are still slayer.>If I put a runesmith in a slayer army which is a better option to picksharpen weapons for more damage, then use the rune of speed for more speed and MA, extra armor might seems nice but you need to stack multiple runesmiths for that to be good.
I'm so tired. I just wanted a TK DLC. Why can't we have anything good ever happening.
>>540024060>I'm so tired. I just wanted a TK DLC.Sehenesmet LL soon anon.
>>540018796At least tell me they're overall better with the new mechanicsI've been opposed to a rework solely on the grounds that CA would likely fuck them up and make them worse overall
>>540022939Anon just how much handholding do you need
>>540025883nta, but I'm suffering from a severe lack of handholding
>>540024736The new sacred spawning mechanic is much better, not that there was much going on with the old one. Other changes like some income on resource buildings and general Slann buffs are fun. Tech tree is much better as well.Overall a nice update for liggers but they still have some of the same problems.
USE CHEATS FOR THE GLORY OF THE DARK GODS!
Oh my God... its happening... https://youtu.be/WZn1-Rjr690
>>540026471Not TW related.
>>540026471>stellarisCA-bros...
>>539990324somebody give me a qrd on the high elf changes in the next patchthanks
should I play SFO? I keep hearing people praise it as the "intended" way of playing
>>540026716No one plays high elves.
>>540026716>Next Patch
>>540026716anon...
>>540026716All we know is Aislinn is the LL, new hero and lore of magic exclusive to High Elves, Merwyrm unit, Elemental unit, Sea Helm generic lord and that really stupid flying chariot as a mount, Tyrions bussy got pozzed by Norscans.>>540026757>SFOIf you're going to pick any cheats dont pick an overhaul so stay away from Radious too
>>540026716Tower of zharr seatsGreenskin confederation mechanicsTrade vision No trespass penalties All dark elf factions start at war with all high elf factions
>>540026757if you like "lore accurate" balancing then sure
>>540026757overall it's a slower campaign (slower growth, more expensive upkeep, and slower battle). And the balancing is all over the place, I still remember how my chaos warriors melted after getting a few shots from razordon pack. So try it if you're bored with vanilla, but I would just stick with vanilla.
To get the next update, you have to fight, with your fists only, one 8,849 meter tall Kholek with the ability to make you explode into paste if you get within 6 km of him, or 8,849 1-meter tall Kholeks with the ability to have your skin boil off if you make skin contact with themWhich one are you fighting
>>540026757Its an overhaul that changes a lot of stuff. I wouldnt say its better, but its different. If you're growing bored of vanilla WH, give it a go.
>>540027581can I have sex with him instead?
>>540027581Well if it's only fight and not win, I will fight as well as the brave Sir Robin from either
>>540027581obviously the second one, just wear gloves or something
>>540028384You get dogpiled by 8 thousand Kholeks half your height and your face is bitten and promptly melts off and you die in agonizing pain gurgling on your own cheeks
Is there any benefit to mismatching lord and army majority with daemons of chaos? The lords can't buff other gods units from what I've seen, but I may be missing something
Warriors of chaos is pretty fun innit
>>540028517there is still a chance, you just have to believethe second one is impossible because you can't even get close without getting gibbed
Reddit is NOT happy about the mobile Empire DLC, CA is slowly killing itself with these decisions..
>>540028575Belackrokor gives you an extra stipend of income the more you commit to mismatching with with his Daemonic Ethnic Integration initiatives
>>540029014It really is an absolutely bizarre decision to be fair, especially as people have been asking for a better (read: functioning) version of Empire since release.
>no ETW and M2 definitive edition for pcCA please...
>>540029014I would GLADLY delay ToT a few more weeks, no make that months, if it meant our mobilesisters could have more content!
If insideranon is right and med3 remains shelved, does this mean that Brettonia will see a new lord/hero pack?
>>539993290
>>540029014good
>>540027092>All dark elf factions start at war with all high elf factionsWhy? That will only make the hyper aggressive delf AI swamp Ulthuan even sooner.
>>540029583but...but it's the Feral guys that worked on that port, surely it can't be that bad.
>>540029583I think what Total War needs is LESS content

>>540037176Sun shines through the raaaaaiiiin
Are the Delves ever getting a new dlc or a rework? A new hero that gives campaign mobility boost would be nice.
>>540037525According to ancient leaks they would get something in the last WH3 DLC.

>>540032235>If its anyone its going to be Betrand the Brigand and hes gonna have Robin Hood style archersWhat units will he buff? Does he get some new units? What faction mechanics?
>>540032235There is no place for brigands in the iteration of Bretonnia they chose.
>>540041627>There is no place for brigands in the iteration of Bretonnia they chose.Why not?
>>540042658There is no organized crime in bretonnia post 6th edition. It would imply Louen isn't the chosen one.
>>540029864It's thematic like soteks strongest skinkAlso high elfs have better auto resolve so it works out
>>540041519>What units will he buff?Archers and Peasants>Does he get some new units?Brigands, Herrimaults, Faceless KingsWhat faction mechanics?Your guess is as good as mine.
>>540042871Herrimaults still exist thoughbeiteverally?

I think I've been stalling on playing, well A) because CA's ineptitude actually drove me off, and B) this IE project of mine grows to be a drag at times when I'm up to characters or races I don't much care for.
>>540043062>What faction mechanics?Maybe a toned down version of Ogre Camps? Him being some lawless brigand that's constantly on the move and having to recruit from the field. Having a Bretonnian faction with some sort of camp or horde mechanic could be interesting. No clue where'd he be placed on the map though.
>>540043715>No clue where'd he be placed on the map though.That's the rub, really. He's pretty closely tied to Bretonnia because his whole thing is looking after the poor, he wouldn't just fuck off on Crusade or something.
>>540043715He could be put almost anywhere with the excuse that he's hunting Bretonnia's enemies or somethingOr put him near Mousillon for the whole taking down evil Bretonnians thing
when was the last time you got a heroic victory?
>>540043953In my last Dwarf campaign, with a caravan cheatMy caravan got hit by an Orc waaagh and I managed a win
>>540041519>what unit buffs?Hes gonna be like Volkimar the Grim and buff shitstacks like Peasants and Foot Squires to be busted plus buffing Emnar's Outlaws (AP archers with poison + BvL) and Bowmen of Bergerac (AP archers with poison, BvL, Stalk and Snipe) which will come in his standalone DLC. He will also have his 2 friends Hugo le Petit and Gui le Gros as LHs for his campaign.>faction mechanicGive him something related to his feats, hes a guy that likes to hunt monsters and threats that terrorize Bretonnia while also having half the nobles hate him while the other half liking him, probably have something akin to like the court mechanics from Kislev but its a constant back and forth issue with his economy and campaign.>support the nobles too much>get access to higher tiered units more easily and better economy>but worse public order and lower growth overall>vice versa if you support the commonfolk too much

What faction has the best archers/crossbows I can use as a hammer and generic anvil for a baseI don't want to do guns since the shooting AI is still fucked I'm assuming WE with their archers and treemen?how good can grom make archers
>>540047553Archers aren't a hammer you fucking heretic
>>540047553>CrossbowsDark Elves, Cathay, and Kislev>ArchersHigh Elves and Wood ElvesThat all said if you want a ranged hammer you're better off using shotguns, they benefit a lot from firing into the flanks of enemies who are stuck on your anvilIn which case you should use Dwarfs, Cathay, or Chaos DwarfsAlso the shooting AI works fine you just have to make sure you actually have line of sight on the enemy, 99% of the time when people complain about gunpowder what's actually happening is you're being cucked by small hills breaking your line of sight
So two weeks since I started playing, and I realize this game is just a famine simulator. All I do is struggle with income. I can only afford cheap units.

>>540050376Stalk and Snipe
>>540045312I've never understood why big units can't hide in woods.It makes sense if they can't hide when the enemy is on flat, open ground and a big unit is only say, 10 metres into the woods. But if they are 100 metres into dense forest? Even a massive unit like a giant or war hydra or heirotitan should be able to hide in that.
>>540051307Nah, stuff like Heirotitans and Giants are large enough that they would be knocking trees over just by moving through the forestI do think SOME single entities should be able to hide in the forest, but it should only be creatures who are feasibly adapted to living in the forestThe carnosaur should be able to hide, a giant shouldn'tWhat REALLY doesn't makes sense are single entities like Ghorgons which have woodsman but CAN'T hide in forests... how does that makes sense?

Okay it's been some wild since the next DLC news but one are we expecting any new information this week 2 I can't remember did they tell us who supposed to be the new Norscan Tribes legendary hero yet or not?
I can't wait until December when Creative Assembly finally reveals the
>>540055725Tax is collected locally by local knights and treasurers, who in turn pay taxes to their lords. These lords pay a portion of the tax to the crown and a portion of the tax to the Great House of their region. The Great Houses also pay taxes to the Crown, and the Crown has Crownlands it rules directly and directly extracts taxes from, meaning the Crown has three sources of direct tax income. The exception to this rule is the New Gift which pays all its taxes directly to the Night's Watch, but it pays taxes in kind (i.e, goods) rather than gold.

The Empire in Warhammer Fantasy is a more historically accurate depiction of a late Medieval society than the Seven Kingdoms are.The Provences all have different customs, dialects, religions, and forms of government in an area around a quarter of the size of Westeros.

>>540060398I read the books way back as well. I liked 1 but the series is otherwise pretty middle of the road. Eartheros (or whatever the setting is called) is actually interesting though the books don't do all that much with it.I am glad a fantasy TV series was so mainstream but unfortunately everything it spawned has been slop. Wheel of Time was so awful I turned it off halfway through the first episode. Luckily anime is on a fantasy kick so I get more than one show every year for that even if they are almost all isekai slop.On the book front I recently caught up on Recluce and read Sanderson's latest turd which was surprisingly passable. I keep trying to read the Drizzt novels but they are such garbage (outside of the prequel trilogy) I find it difficult to continue even with how short they are.

>when you reach the midpoint of the campaign where you're considerably stronger than the AI even in 2 or 3-v-1 battles but as soon as you go in one direction, a different AI with a half dozen armies (thanks to economic cheats) starts taking all your territory in the other direction>the only way to stop it is to eliminate factions entirely, but that requires both diving excessively deep into their land (not a problem, except that it leaves you even further from the other factions gnibbling at your borders), and merely causes you to border new factions that newly declare war on you for genuinely no clear reason (so the process never ends)>siege battles are mildly less fun than a lobotomy so it's torture to do anything but auto them and accept stupid armies taking your low value settlements (which, again, is fine except you need to go retake them, but there's 5 factions with 5 armies each doing it from every direction around you)
Is there any good historical war game for playing a Ancient Greece base campaign before won't became the protagonist of Western world development ? And On a related topic how did the city state of Rome overcome Ancient Greece ?
>>540063751ancient grease was never a single entity, they were a smattering of bickering city states. rome consolidated slowly but surely and by the time they came knocking were simply too much for the gayreeks to deal with
>>540063689sell towns you don't want to have to faggots you want to befriend for mad amounts of money
>>540064086 Yes I already knew it wasn't a Sego entity but it has a few powerful ones who are very noticeable Sparta, Athens, can't remember which one invented it but the one who had the like big number of gay men lovers Elite oh wait it was thieves the sacred Band of Thieves. I think I saw some big keys and Generals episodes that were basically Greek cities fighting against each other in alliances. And don't forget Alexander the Great I know he wasn't from actual Greece then or now and I'm not sure how much he considered himself a Greece Leader or not but They made a few games out of Japan a game out of Britain and a game out of China so they could probably if they picked a good time make a game of Greek city states fighting.
>>540063751have you ever played hegemony? might be what you're looking for>how did the city state of Rome overcome Ancient Greece ? Rome only started becoming heavily involved in Greek politics after the second punic war, by that time they were already the uncontested masters of the western Mediterranean and had the capacity to field much larger armies and consistently reinforce them than any of the Hellenistic kingsbefore that point Romans had only fought lone Greek kingdoms(Epirus and Sicily) and isolated Greek city States in the Italian peninsula, and those couldn't hope to stop the Roman War machine even in its earlier years

>>540019375Anyone?
>>540067443how do % and lvl correspond? i don't think i understood the description
>>540067443I haven't even had it spawn once, let alone put the 20 trait LL there, but from reading it, it goes up a certain percent (level, whatever) when that happens and then despawns. So you will need to rank it in multiple campaigns but it will become stronger each time.Since no youtube grifters have even made a video about maxing it yet it sounds like a PITA
