The sensible thing is just for natural enemies to share a collective roster that's split at the start and unified once they annex the other.

Obviously every fucking England campaign and every Scotland every played is going to immediately involve conquering whole island and forming Great Britain, so why pretend that they're two distinct campaign experiences and not just two arbitrary sides of the same coin.

Same with the Visigothic Kingdoms, and with the Byzantine Themes, the Italian city-states, the Scandinavian kingdoms and so on.
>>
>>571895502
The rosters are divided, by culture, faction and region. Every faction will have unique units not shared with anyone else, not even after being conquered.

I'm saying that's retarded when two kingdoms share so much culture and geography in question. It's stupid to treat England and Scotland, or Castile and Navarre, as though they'll be as different (and require as much development work) as Poland and Georgia.

Here's a few details I got from the Medieval III stream. Might have missed a few. (1/2)

-Dynasties can conceivably move between factions.
-Visual upgrades to arms and armor.
-"You're not upgrading a unit, you're upgrading equipment."
-"Characters will develop traits and skill-like traits as you use them."
-They want to get away from the notion of generals/agents in specific classes
-However, not every character can perform every role.
-"Sometimes you can send [characters] to neighboring realms to engage in diplomacy"
-"Here you just have characters." i.e., characters can be moved in between agents, generals, governors, diplomats etc.
-"As a player you're playing as the realm, the crown."
-You play as the ruling dynasty, but another dynasty could take over
-"You're not selecting characters; you're selecting realms or factions. And the dynasties are the important pieces you care about."
-Timeline: 300 years
-"Like in Medieval II, it's about making the generic characters become as interesting as the main characters."
-They want to emphasis "permanent progression" throughout the campaign via dynasties.
-Traits and skills can feed back into the dynasty, affecting future generations.
-When a dynasty is present in your faction and others, you can use them to influence those other factions.
-New mechanic of "agendas" character will make proposals on policy, other characters in the realm will line up behind different options. The player can do whatever he wants, but too many unpopular choices could have negative consequences. (one example was on succession laws, seeminly confirming they'll be changable in the game.)
>>
>>571903314

-There are building slots, but no limit on how many slots you can grow into.
-You use characters to establish trade routes.
-Trade routes are between regions, not factions.
-There are now internal trade routes.
-Trade routes distribute strategic goods.
-Three tiers of resource production.
-Tier 1: Access to the resource
-Tier 2: Above, and the ability to trade the resource
-Tier 3: Above, and you can give other regions the ability to trade the resource
-This mechanic seems to determine how you distribute resources throughout your realm, or how you trade it with foreign realms as income.
-Just as you need a high enough population to recruit units, buildings also require people to function. Part of the intent is to organically create a sense of war weariness, where you might not be able to recruit more troops without crashing your economy.
-The Jannissaries are an example of how you can transform your people with recruitment.
-Distance to capital penalty will once again cause corruption, but is not the only factor. Intent is to incentivize various behavior like creating vassals, or maybe different taxation models.
-Playable factions require a higher level of uniqueness
-Map has a smaller geographic extent because for gameplay "it's the biggest map we've ever done"
-"We see the HRE as one realm. There will be a lot of feudal dynamics, it's not one simple shade."

Rifling was invented pretty early on, but due to high cost of production was never viable in a military setting (outside of specialist roles) until the mid-19th century.

40k showcase made everyone hyped since it was pretty good unlike the trash that was the first trailer

Total War: Arthurian Legends when? The King Arthur mythos are perfect for a Total War game. You have:
>Camelot Faction (The Round Table, Normal Knights, Peasant levies, Archers etc.)
>Fae + Spirit Faction (Lady of the Lake, The Green Knight, and legendary Fae like Melusine)
>Mythical Beast Faction (Giants, Dragons etc.)
>Demon / Daemon faction (Demon Boars, Devils, Demons, Antichrist etc.)
>The Knights of the Round Table as Heroic Units
>Druids, Enchantresses, and Sorcerers are magic units
Since the time period for Arthurian lore is so vague, you could also throw in Charlemagne and his Paladins, Cu Chulainn and the other heroes of Irish Myth, and even Beowulf. all DLC of course

>>
>>571912367
We will be getting some news about end times dlc as well as some news about AI improvements in 8.1 at 30th.
40k showcase wasn't bad all things considering, but there is still not much stuff shown about how campaign and factions will work.
med3, CA is planning to get these factions at launch
Kingdom of England
Kingdom of France
Sultanate of Rum (Anatolian Turks)
Byzantine Empire
Kingdom of Jerusalem
Holy Roman Empire
There is also a vote for 4 extra factions, so there might be at least 10 playable factions. Papal states will be a dlc content pretty much.
There is some controversy brewing about the size of a campaign map. CA made a stand that they won't half ass it and by that they mean if some playable faction should be in the game, it's whole territory should be included as well.
It means milking. Naturally, The Nostradamuses have awakened to tell everyone that they predicted that.
>>
>>571916705
>Sounds like a chronicles game, and every single spinoff TW has flopped
Nah, I disagree. Those were way too niche and hyperfocused on one country or concept. Total War Brittanica for example never should have been made. There's simply not enough unit variety to justify a Total War game for it.
But King Arthur + the other European myths that take place in the same time period is basically a goldmine for CA to draw from for lore, characters, and units.
For example, the base fractions could be:
>Camelot, Lord: Arthur
>Camelot (Rebels), Lord: Mordred
>Francia, Lord: Charlemagne
>Hell, Lord: Merlin (anti-christ form)
>Ireland, Lord: Medb
>Denmark, Lord: Beowulf
>The Fae Realm, Lord: Nimue, the Lady of the Lake
And so forth
>>

>>
>>571916526
Arthurian Legends would be an extremely poor fit for TW because it was never about large unit tactics outside of a few major fights, it was always about small unit tactics where singular knights would distinguish themselves.
It COULD be an interesting spinoff concept, with an emphasis on heroes.

What CA really needs to do is an original setting. Even a 'historical' original setting that leans into dark fantasy. Then you could have whatever game mechanics are fun, and don't need to worry about Byzatinaboos or various fandom autists.
>>
>>571919403
They came before the decision.
My headcanon is that they changed it to make volkite weapons actually appear strong and "new". Volkite weapons are basically just red lasers.

So how can this red laser be some heresy tech, when the guard uses this shit by the trillions? So they changed it.
>>
>>571919701
They don't have the creativity for that.
Unless they join forces with a known writer or something, I doubt it would be successful.
If they made a Total War Elden Lords shit would sell like hotcakes.
>>
>>571918375
>it was always about small unit tactics where singular knights would distinguish themselves.
Depends on the mythos. In some tales, Arthur and his knights would run into battle and slay hundreds each. In other tales, Arthur and his knights would casually slay giants, dragons, and demonic beasts.
Scale wise, Arthur canonically fought and beat his vassals to unite Britain, all of western Europe, some of Central Europe, and the Romans. That's a lot of wiggle room for large scale fights imo.

I'm actually thinking of Arthur and his knights as the "small unit tactics" part of it.
Like you could make a game that was all about managing Arthur's knights and a handful of retinue units; up against more traditional TW army sizes. But it wouldn't be a traditional TW game, it'd be more about the knights specifically.

After the muslim invasion shattered the Visigothic Kingdom, its rump state fell to in-fighting and eventually split into multiple sub-kingdoms divided along geographic boundaries. It wasn't until the Reconquista itself that they actually reunified under a single Spanish crown.
>>571922393
The Arthurian legend was Welsh in origin, then coopted by the Anglo-Saxons, then re-coopted by the French after the Norman invasion.

Landmass itself is quite big, but it's less regions, that's why map seems "smaller"

This is actually fine. A huge problem with Med 2 (and even Attila) is that Eastern Europe and North Africa are full of large areas of nothing.

A good company would do a bundle you get 2 big packs and 2 small packs where you can redeem the big pack for all dlc for a single race (empire, skaven, helfs) and the small for a single dlc race (norsca, warriors, ogre, pirates, chaos dwarves, vampires, kislev, monogods, beastman, tomb king)

But they can't do that.
So I propose:
All current empires dlc (only elsbeth from w3) , Champion of Chaos, Silence and Fury, and best would be a cathay or Kislev to push them.

So full Empire roster
Full Vampire roster but only Ghorst/Vlad/Isabella as LL (via Graves)
Full Chaos Roster with 4 choices
Full Beastman
Near full Wild Elves
Some Lizzies + brets for free

Add a new menu for beginner campaign, reduce the map to the Bretonnia.
Have Vlad, and Red Duke, Changeling, and Festus, Volkmar and Elsbeth, Moonclaw and Morghur, and Araloth and twins start there.
No grand campaign mechanic, put the cities 2 movement turns away from each other and have outpost of Kislev, High Elves and Lizards on the edge so people can wet their noozle.

Are our historical lords/generals gonna be properly dripped out or is everything gonna look like generic characters?
>>
>>571888792
>Italian City states
A general emphasis on infantry, crossbows. Venice had some novel light cavalry later on, they still of course have cavalry proper too.
>Sicily
Constantly bickering with the Papacy so likely an anti-catholic malus to their diplomacy. Were rather cordial towards their muslim subjects as they provided useful light infantry/archers/some cavalry that were completely free of any Papal influence. I forget if this point the Normans were still rather present in their vibe.
>Scotland
Pikes pikes pikes pikes pikes
>Castile
Probably the most heavy of the Spaniards. Cavalry is never as heavy as the French though, you get jinetes and shit.
>Aragon
Almogavars or super duper light infantry with good charge/bite.
>Antioch
Jerusalem but with some Armenian units.
>Georgia
Heavy swordsmen (people usually refer back to their 19th century Khevsurs for a visual idea) and shit. Cavalry too.
>Polan
Honestly not sure. I assume they still had some auxiliary nomads but
>Hungary
More access to auxiliary nomads
>Vikangz

Got bored, but only other two I am particularly familiar with are Almohads (Mixed light Moors, Medium andalusians, heavy Christian merc cavalry) and Fatimids (Chaff Abid slave warriors, medium Arabs and Armenians. You're not just another horse-fucker faction which is neat and you are Shia so everyone hates you).

>>571903314
Very happy about dynastic movement, that sounds like my hotseat singleplayer desire.
Very not sure about the HRE as one "Realm". It depends if it's one faction or what. For such a tremendously disunited entity having it be "You control all the units and all the settlements" is really a terrible choice and goes against the idea of creating vassals. That said they said realm not faction, so I'll reserve judgment but making it a single faction would be ass.

The map not including the Novogrod Republic feels weird. It wouldn't be a big deal to loop up to that area and then still keep the steppe uninhabited, but it still feels stupid to have that steppe be inaccessible instead of just lightly inhabited by Eastern Cumans. No Khorasan also sucks when it means you can't play Khwarezm, it'll just be Seljuks getting slapped by first Khwarezm and then Mongols.

>>571948740
It's a bit less applicable in medieval times but a good way they could vary up spearmanii will be to give them different animations. I like how helf/delf spearelfii look different to empire spears or orc spears. Not just visually but in the animation and way they fight.

The correct options in any order based on this map placement are;
>Venice
>Portugal
>Norway
>Almohad Caliphate
DLC can add Poland and Sicily but right now Southern Europe and Northern Europe are empty and so it's more crucial they get both get a playable major power ASAP

Then you wonder why historical games fail, they're doing the right thing of actually making each faction more unique to play.
Warhammer launched with 4 factions and it had way more replayability than any other historical game.

Make TWW3 completely Free to Play with Bretonnia being free base game faction, even works for cross shilling with TOW
Delist TWW1 and TWW2 from steam store, turn them into separate base faction dlcs so you can get Empire faction without paying for Vampires
Rename TWW3 into TWW Ultimate or something like this, essentially finishing backtracking on that retarded trilogy thing which caused such a mess. There is only one game now, the way it should have always been
Split every old Lord Pack into a separate minor dlcs, just like newer dlcs work

Rename dlcs into following pattern
Empire - Base (Gelt, Karl, Volkmar)
Empire - Wulfhart
Empire - Elspeth
Empire - Todbringer
etc

They said previously that they were aiming for Attila's size and using its map as a yardstick.
When they revealed it today they clarified that it will cover less geographically than Attila on release (basically just cutting southern Arabia and a bit of eastern Europe but that the map is much more zoomed in than Attila's so in terms of overall in game size it will be somewhat larger.

They also claimed that the new engine allows them to potentially expand the map in the future

Hello everyone
Due to steam sale and recently dabbling in tww3,wich ive been having tons of fun id like to check out some older historical titles.
What caught my eye is mostly rome 2 and attila
Attila intrigues me the most since ive seen people online quote it as the hardest tw and have mentioned how compared to tww3 for example its much slower and somewhat foreboding and atmospheric,all wich interest me,would such examples be true?are the optimization issues still a pain?

Id love to hear your opinion on wich to start and why,if you dont mind abit of spoonfeeding and talking on the wants and hates of those 2 games.
Cheers all

Why are they leaving playable factions to a vote? Players don't know what they want. Playable factions should be decided for game balance and historical significance. There no vision when left to a vote.

This is Paradox's fault. They did this shit with EU5, and it ended badly. CA is just too dumb to take the right lesson.

Kerillian is strictly a bratty bottom.

>>
>>571998556
They already said that the vote is not a guarantee of being playable, it's just a gauge of interest. If they ended up deciding that Iberia needs a playable faction, for instance, which is likely, the vote would give them a good idea which one to choose or especially get their faction mechanics right.

This actually makes them very likely to be one of the first dlcs for Aeldari faction (named as such since it includes Harlequins, Craftworlds, Ynnari, Corsairs and soon Exodites), since they will be new models.

ye
For Rome 1 DLCs you need to use different .bat files that downloading REX provides - REX launches base game with REX patch. REX-BI launches Barbarian invasion. REX-AL launches Alexander. The situation is similar for Medieval 2 DLCs (kingdoms expansions). You surely will see what matches what.
the expansions are treated as mods and theres a handy way to launch mods w a shortcut tho thats what im using for anything med 2

yeah, so they will be units for "Aeldari". Eldar faction in TW40K is also called "Aeldari" and not "Asuryani" which are Craftworlders explicitly. So it will have Harlequins, Corsairs, Ynnari and Exodites eventually, at least initially, if they become popular enough GW can try to split them away. But those are all pretty obvious, given, DLCs for Eldar. And personally I'd sell Iyanden and Wraiths separately too kek, hell even Mymeara if I were desperate Eldar legit are one of the biggest factions

"Drukhari" have different Dark Eldar factions. Wych Cults, Kabalites, Haemonoculi, but also Incubi, Mandrakes and Mercs in theory are separate subfactions as well. With how much newest Codex teased it, Mandrakes might legit be expanded just like Corsairs were and I wouldn't be surprised. Kheradruakh at least should get a mini. And Mandrakes got a Kill Team relatively recently as well

She's still not here though.
Also for fucking real though, they announced her back in 1, baited the shit out of us in 2 by adding Silver Pinnacle, they revealed her model months ago, and we STILL don't have her. She's by far the most cockteased LL in the game, her campaign better be fucking amazing.

why does anyone join chaos? you are guaranteed eternal torture by whichever chaos god you follow no matter who you are
the eldar are directly connected to the birth of slaanesh, dark eldar already act like slaanesh cultists (but aren't because um um uh um shut up!!), but there's no actual chaos eldar in the game? chaos is just a humans only party for some reason?

>>572042880
Not if other 3 Gods shield them from Slaanesh in an exchange for servitude. Isha was stolen by Nurgle after all and Slaanesh couldn't do anything about it. Should be even easier with non gods
Eldar Daemon Princes were mentioned even long time ago and apparently they were so priced by their patron gods they weren't allowed to leave Warp
Mandrakes are weird Daemon like beings and two of their kings were chaos aligned, one to Nurgle, other to Tzeentch

fun fact. Exodites are only two years olders than cold one knights, having been first mentioned in 1990 while cold one knights first appeared in 1988
>>
>>572052521
I think it's more about the lore flavor. People were looking forward to eldar that were neither disturbing sweat goblins like the Deldar, nor asshole manipulator 2haughty4u Craftworlders.

Harlequins were actually perfect for that, but apparently GW gave up on them...
>>
>>572059149
You kidding me?
harlequin are the most explored side of eldar due to them being neutral entities and as such, can be used in a shitload of plots
>>
>>572059264
GW made a VERY half-assed attempt at making Harlequins into their own separate faction to play, gave them half an army list that put them down there with Imperial Agents as "armies you're not supposed to actually collect", and then by next edition they just deleted them and they went back to just being loose units for the other eldar/occasionally getting mixed into Imperium/other sapient xenos races as ally contingents.
>>
>>572059558
Imperial Agents are a more legitimate faction than, say, the Adeptus Mechanicus.
>>
>>572059719
It's not about legitimacy as a fighting force that'd deploy in armies, it's about actual army list. Imperial Agents are like 90% characters, with just a token amount of actual units/vehicles, some of which they even just borrow from other more comprehensive Imperium armies. You CAN make a full Imperial Agents army, but it's clear GW don't expect you to present as an Imperial Agents army, rather you'll be an Imperial Guard/Sisters/Marines/whatever army and then go "and btw I've included an inquisitor/assassin/a random squad".

Harlequins were largely the same, if memory doesn't fail me, they had like one single unit of actual line infantry.
>>
>>572055351
>dress more scantily than regular eldar
source?
>>
>>571967148
in the stream they said they wouldn't add a faction (or at least not more than 1) that was next to one of the established factions, so I'm guessing that the east and south will be filled out with maybe 1 of the most popular ones added wherever, and they'll keep the list on hand for knowing who to release DLC for first
>>
>>572060269
They had a single unit.
They had no place staying a standalone army if GW had no intention of filling their roster.
And honestly? I don't think filling their roster would be good, they are clowns, they are the cream of their race, and they fight in close quarters.
I see no point in trying to expand this.

Much better to make exodites the official 40k wood elves, much like votann is the 40k dwarfs

so I started dorfing around and I've mainly been trying to do clan angrund
this start SEEMED great but turns out it's pretty ass in practice
the only thing that seems to work is to instantly go burn down clan skrye and hit aranessa over the head with a hammer as otherwise they will gank my ass the moment I get into a war with anyone else
skrag always blobs and (eventually) fights aranessa if she doesn't attack me for some reason but towards me he's been a jolly chubby friend every time
welves and empire have been totally indifferent, except empire always wants trade and NAP
any tips apart from git gud

>>572075934
Belagar is not a regular campaign. You need to carve your way through badlands and retake k8p. Playing wackamole with Ikit wont work.

Confed with the minor dorfs, take major settlement with minimal losses, merget the units into a single army under belegar and rush to k8p. dont invest into any buildings untill you take k8p.

Know what I really dislike?
With a trillion LLs everywhere, every single campaign is the same "fight this absolutely stacked LL by turn 5-10 or die". And by that time, unit variety is 0, items haven't been found, it's just a good old grind fest against an overwhelming army.
Sometimes it's doable, like when you have Tamurkhan or Tyrion or anyone who can really put the pain to the enemy LL but I played tiqtacto recently and 2 turns after slaying Wurzzag, he was back with a full stack and 7 extra units.
And Tictaqto himself is worthless and his birds have limited ammo.. so the entire battle, which I could win, is 30 minutes herding orks to make perfect blobs for stone throwing.
And I just really don't wanna do that.

imo it looks really nice, mostly because it keeps the vanilla sprites etc of stuff
stuff like tsardoms, or stainless steel, or sship, EB or whatever similar mods, they all look really ugly UI wise, over-designed, the unit cards are too clunky, like they just look ugly as fuck, even if they're excellent mods
vanilla beyond looks p much like vanilla, which looks nice, DaC is fine too even tho it slightly suffers from that ugly UI design too

if a knight of the seven kingdoms keeps being good (which is likely), the aegon movie is good (which is ehhhh) and if george actually fucking publishes the winds of winter i think the hype will still be there. outside of lotr i can't think of any other fantasy series that could sell a tw game paired to it. all the characters alone are perfect dlc fodder plus it has time periods that make for much better campaign dlcs than 3k. a dance of the dragons campaign would have dragons out the ass for people who care about that.

Depends on the scope of the battle
Say you're doing a battle the Union loses. Depending on what action you're supposed to be doing, your officer says "hey boys its time to start taking losses" and so people opt to die. But if nobody's doing so, the officer might dictate losses on the next volley, who'll all fall. It's ultimately up to the orders and Federals wear Kevlar even when exchanging at 25m
I mostly do 18th centuey with flintlocks, so we often play with musket issues (flints, misfires, etc) so we use that for our losses
