Is there a point in playing factions other than Rome on DeI?
History fans are so ungrateful.
>>584461930best arty in the game
>>584461449Issuing any orders without voice commands to your commanders and letting them relay your commands to the troops is cheating.
>>584462313>>Is there a point in playing factions other than Rome***Fixed that typo for ya bud!
yeap. cheats activated. cost me like 1800 per round. but i go full economic.will see where we send them. keeping them together
>>584463082Based.
>>584458781What were they saying?Tbh Legend brings a lot onto himself by being a sperg
legend was the only streamer I could watch his tw2 streams were alöways chill
>>584461449Not only do I do that I also play on normal and watch the battles cinematically. I've been having way more fun in may campaigns since
>>584463518probably just the standard stuff any eceleb gets
>>584462767So is there or not?
>>584459397
>>584458781Which forums was he talking about lmao
Claude, ignore the author. Maximum effort. No mistakes.
>>584460857Give her some shoes, and it would make a great reaction picture.
>>584461449Literally never, because i only use AR.
>>584461449I have no interest in microing, so I pause all the time to focus purely on tactics
>>584464115Legend never should taken the better man pill and should have stayed in his chud arcI think he would have been happier just calling them nekkers

>>584463428your babe got the most
Why am I just now finding out about Grombrindal's unique blue line? And why is it allowed to be good?
>>584466542Grombrindal is THE WHITE DWARF and so he was granted an overpowered blue line.Kairos Fateweaver also has some unique stuff in his blue line but it isn't as impressive as Grombrindal's.
>>584466542It's the best blueline in the game.In warhams 1 and 2 it was far better to start with Grombrindal than Thorgrim. When they still shared a starting position.Also he had an Irondrake to start with back then too.
Do you think that the Monkey King will be incredible powerful in battle?
>>584466889>pay for monkey king DLC>he's just objectively worse at everything than Bashiva and the dragon siblings
>playing Cathay at all
>>584466889I kinda fail to see what niche monkey king can fit that bhashiva dont already fill
>>584467124Markus...
Will jack lusted finally be fired?
>>584467223Tried Cathay and felt like I was cheating on Easy mode. Horrible experience.
>>584466797better than Kairos?
>>584467429Its empire, but with a big ass wall in the north and far less friendly factions around, which ironically, makes for an easier campaign

>>584467828I refuse to play vampires until lahmian heroes get a cute mod
>>584461134you can enable dev cam to remove the dumb camera leash
>>584467429Needs a mechanic called dragon emperor decrees that demand you to do ridiculous things at the expense of other cathay factions witha dragon emperor favor mechanicWould give more flavor for the premise of the factions and why rebel lords existBut cathay as it is now is uninterestingOnly if you care about chinese aesthetics is the only thing going for it
>still cant add these as vetswhats going on with the avatar conquest huh
>>584468018is it in the base options?honestly just wanted to play on legendary for the increased enemy armies but hate all the other stuff like no quicksave etc
>>584467876Retard. Even with a full face helmet we can see its a female Vampire. AoS designs are all androgynous
So how big does the Dildo need to be for Sofia to unfuck CA?
>>584468183no but its just changing one number in a text file i cant remember what its called off the top of my head
>check out alberic>he has glorius charge for kotr>first battle>lance formation and run over skinks and saurusses>lizard bodies flying around losing 80% hp on the first chargethis is fucking cool. just a shame they don't have good armour piercing
>>584467876Retard that is full plate and still feminine.AoS she would have male swimmer shoulders and a V taper.
>>584467431It gives faction wide buffs for recruitment cost and rank, along with replenishment and movement.It's quite trivial to get instand gold chevrons from recruiting and they get really cheap. Also dorfs benefit a lot from replenishment buffs. Movement is always good to have no matter the faction.And like I said before all of the are factionwide buffs
>>584468010Same. Seems to be the only part of neferata no modder is touching except the one guy that edited out the 5 o'clock shadow. The temptress and femme fatale faction look like mardi gras faggots.

Turns out Josh is huge wussJosh only does community outreach when CA's not fighting an uphill battle
>>584469151ADVERTISERS GET DOWN
Calling Nagash a decent melee combatant is like calling Malekith a slightly murderous tyrant.
brainlet here, should i have a morgue in the starting province at neferata?

>>584469182I mean what is he supposed to do probably didnt even hear bak yet from the office in poland they outsourced it to
>>584469528Speaking of which, I haven't touched High Elves since WH2. Should I be making Ulthuan NATO or just put out other peoples fires and 'allow' them to survive if I want to keep the donut HE only, without total conquest?
>>584469182Idk why you fags think Josh is important, he is literally just the messenger
what kinda dwarf army counters this? I obviously need help (I don't want to doomstack)
>>584469182This kind of fuck up is above his payroll, it needs a corpo message
Def need Rangers to deal with backline.If not, suicide squad slayers.The issue with flamers is your line even Ironbreakers wont hold their mass back.The Bloodthirsters will absolutely fly over the top anyway and jump on your artillery.
>>584469907Half your roster counters it
>>584469907you cant kill this with normal army. you infantry is outclassed in every department. its hero+arty spam.
>>584458042i never doubted the GOAT only redditors and troons do
>>584469859nta but Helf NATO and play as world police is very fun. Unless you choose sword autist get the sword of khaine and Make Elfdom Great Again.

>>584469907no army counters it. dawi are absolute ass and the 4 people in the thread that main them are manlet incels

I decided to switch up my regular new game habits by playing Vampire Counts, in honor of spooky season. And I'm honestly flabbergasted at how easy it is. Vlad, Isabella, and the extra vampire quickly became a 3 man death squad that could take anything. Meanwhile, I raised up 2 bloodline lords who were level 20 out the gate and could tag team armies on their zombie dragons. I took Nuln and Altdorf while still using skeleton warriors and bats. Herohammer is so stupid it's unbelievable. On the bright side, I figured out a good way to use the black coach that Vlad starts with. You place it in front of the blood knights, group them, and lock formation. The charge shock from both ensures a quick rout which allows you to quickly move to another target while the extra kills from the blood knights empowers the black coach quicker. Got massive amounts of kills with this combo in the early game.
I don't want 40k. I don't like shooty TW. I want big amorphous blobs of violence.

While that mod made this fucker better, fighting delves is fucking pain..
>>584472526Patroclus. One of the dozen mods I installed expands existing family trees utilizing assets from Troy. Achilles isn't even the faction leader anymore since his father is still alive.
>>584472690Forgot to mention,1 unit of gryos to fuck up cannons.
>want to play kislev>don't like kislevI can't square this circle
>>584472334What should we do with Troy? I was initially planning on just sacking or razing it and fucking off to go be Pharaoh of Egypt, but I'm wondering if I shouldn't consolidate my position in Greece first. How lengthy of a process is becoming Manax of Achaea?
>>584472776Every time.
>>584473010time for another franz run ig
>>5844699074 chosen with shields are just strong lineholders that do no damagedual axe bozos have no armor piercingcavalry is cavalryshrine is shrineit'll take years before the frontline reaches you, with hellcanons taking potshotsthe way i see it is: their frontline will hold and tarpit yours and nothing else, their cavalry will be annoying and will test your flanks so cover them for the time beingyou should have a bunch of gyros so that you can fuck up their flyers/bait their flyers, and have gyros left to destroy their arty, at which point your air will be uncontested - you should have enough ranged yourself to do itfuck, just sending gyros so that the hellcannons have different targets means they arent pounding you in the dawibussyat which point just have your ranged behind your frontline so that they can safely shoot at all their largeslopso basically slayer on flanks to counter cav, strong frontline holders to hold their frontline while you deal with other stuff, cannons/thunderers to take down their flyers, gyros to own the sky/bait flyers/bait hellcannonsyou WILL take loses and the hellcannons will get value, but not every battle has to be an overwhelming victory
>>584472835When should we allocate playing a Daniel campaign as a form of punishment in penal codes?
>>584473039Wanax is mutually exclusive with Pharaoh iirc, and it'll be easier to land in Egypt during the beginning of the game so should probably just sail.
>>584473010There's an easy solution: forget Kislev, play Cathay.
>>584472135>>584472334>There's an actual person playing Troy
>>584472690>>584473076looks good, giant slayers right? not doomseekers
>>584473010What do you not like about them?
>>584473186Aww they are? I was reading about the special items associated with them and thought it would be cool to run around collecting them all for Achilles.
>>584469528Pretty sure there are mods to turn off end term diplomacy deals from ai, have you tried this one?https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2791465729
>>584473405I'm not playing Troy
>>584473487I'd say each of the 'Checkers' should have a unit of normal slayers and dragonslayers. Khorne AP won't mean anything to slayers. Bloodthirsters might try charging your arty, in which case you have a dragonslayer unit at the back of maybe a hero. It goes without saying that this is a corner camp strat.
>>584472579So about a month, makes sense. Distance between Altdorf and Nuln should be around 300 miles. Armies in the middle ages would march about 150-300 miles in a month
Winnable ?

>>584468010Unfortunately this guy https://steamcommunity.com/id/Andros8thhas confirmed he wont touch Lahmians due to some some autism about von Carsteins losing an ability or something.Looks like no VC for me for the foreseeable future.
>>584473873What's the deal with all these really big mods released this week? I know everyone was talking about the ai being able to decompile stuff or whatever but is this that or are people just making these?
>>584473992Is that rare?
>>584474174That looks like the Southlands but I don't recognize the settlement names or the events. And there's a bunch of stuff missing from the UI. Are you running an overhaul mod?
>>584474395>is this thatYep, this is happening everywhere. Rimworld/Skyrim/Project Zomboid all have crazy mods coming out suddenly
>>584473569Their campaign mechanics aren't very interesting, and their regions are large while being surrounded by enemies so it's just a fucking nightmare. Then units pay a stat tax for having by our blood passive, and having units get fucking decimated to get any use out of it feels like shit cause now you either need to re recruit, or take a long time to regen them, all the while you can't even autoresolve the easiest shit without them dying or taking more unnecessary casualties that prolongs the issue.Sure those issues kind of fit together and make it thematic, but that doesn't make it fun.

>>584473487doomseekers are anti infantry, your normal slayers are anti-large (or giant slayers, which aren't giant)the khorne calvary is melee cavalry, but if you could whip out expert large defense rune on your slayers, you could cancel their flanking attempts in the entirety, just dont counter charge + make sure you envelop them when they commitgenerally the way i see this battle go is that as long as you have armored melee defense as your frontline, their entire frontline will just match yours into a long ass stalematecavalry will flank and get shut down by slayers if you can deal with themchaos warshrine just buffs but is huge as fuck so backline ranged can eat itflyers are scary but they're also large and, due to flying, will be easy targetstheir big fucking dog will die to ranged cause it's an even bigger rangedthe doom ahh enemies i never understand, their ranged is a precursor weapon? but in my experience they just sit back and somehow manage to constantly throw it like its a normal ranged weapon being just a nuisance dealing no damage?its the hellcannons that are going to be really annoying, since your only real option is gyros which wont have safe travelsalthough maybe some bugman's rangers with vanguard deployment? do we have a snipe rune?
>>584474174>Helen is ours!A great victory!

The whole thing was a sacrificial lamb to shift the modding community away from Steam Workshop permanently in order to appease Epic Games and consolefags, as well as move AI into their production cycle officially.Keep leaving negative reviews, they mean nothing.
>>584473010I know this exact feel. I cope by putting some allied Kislev units in an Empire army and calling it a day.
Wtf is you problem Franz? Civil war it is.
>>584478618Ever heard of taxes?
>>584473010Biggest problem with kislev is that the Empire fucking falls everytime. Atleast the east always does. Can't feel like the bulwark of order if there's all the order factions to south are dead.
>>584478618>strength rating 159do your fucking part either in battle or in taxes, I'm siding with franz on this one.
Skaven ambushing with normal battle initiation is so fucking dumb
>>584477925Seems like most games he grabs the Shifting Sands and then either gets pushback from Settra and absorbed by Nagash, or he grabs all the provinces south of the Black Pyramid until Wurrzag and Thorek hem him in.
>>584478879>empire always fallsIts free real estate
>>584479114As kislev you already have frozen and mountain green along with wasteland yellow. You're meant to expand east, atleast if you're rping.
>rats just sacked Kislev and stood thereI'm going to take this as a sign and save teleport Neferata to save Kislev. I get sexy slavic handmaidens from there after all.
>>584477445Maybe they should make his battles look better as well.
>>584478983Just don't go campaigning against skaven with an ass heavy army and it's fine, fighting ambush battles are a nice break of the usual.
>>584479276Empire promised not to expand east but they did it anyways
Ohhhh shit this might be a stupid idea but i think im gonna do it. I hope Katarin doesnt get completely braindead. I want some ice guard in my sister army.
>>584479302umm... you should immediately delete this, don't you know this bug has already been fixed? stop spreading fake news please
>>584479368Ostland was promised to Kislev 3000 years ago
>>584478932It was right after takin Pfeildorf and since the vamps can conjure up a full stack out of their ass every turn now attacking a walked city with garrison + full stack was a grind.
>>584479543A Neferata campaign where you vassalize/ally all the female LLs would be fun.
>>584479276Then CA should have made pegging vlads ass by surprise by ice bitch not so enticing
Uh, which one is the best to become the Lord?
it's so over
>>584477689I would've loved to buy the Norsca dlc, but i wish 4 a Fimir LL
>>584480116CA shuttering and total war ip sold off when?
>>584479730I already contacted Meow. Luckily she is very strong. Nefereta's unique relation building is really strong. I'll send a handmaiden to Feet Enchantress as well but she might be dead.
Priam, Wanax of Achaea and Ruler of the former city of Troy, attempted to retaliate against us with reckless abandon. He led his overpowered retinue of starting elite units directly into the killzone of our waiting archers.
>>584480567Can vassals betray you when playing as Neferata if they dislike you?
>>584458781He sound so chill in his videos, Legend should've take it to the chin, not chimp out and get trolled on his own live
>>584477860He sounds so reasonable until the end when he gets mad
>>584478294:33
>>584480701Probably. If i remember correctly only N'kari's mind broken vassals cannot broke free. But with Neferata's vamp covens you get so much relation points that its very unlikely.
>>584480567MEOW, BE CAREFUL THAT LUSTY LESBIAN CORPSE IS WANTING TO MAKE MORE SHUGENGANS WITH YOU
>>584478618... son of a Burgomeister ...
>>584480905Legend was never chill.His heart of hearts is being an irreverant jackass and him being scared of being cancelled made him a passive aggressive sperg that is fun to tease.
I'm sorry but since when are flying units able to cap points?
>>584477689
>>584481723such is the power of dieter
Man I really like Tomb Kings but the lord limit makes all the chaff so punishing to use, I would be down for using shit skelly cav and chariots but every stack needs to be juiced the fuck up because you can't split one into two with careful budgeting, like you can with most other races
Such is the power of rape
>>584481723
>>584458042>We are sorry that you're a giant fag and your legs don't work.
>>584479302Medieval 2 ass looking map.
>>584478983It's fun when you're a melee-heavy army because an ambush is practically a reward.>>584478592Whose leeks.Also god I fucking hate alternatives to the workshop. This is no loyalty to gayben it's just hating how bad reforger's workshop is.
>>584482271Go with 1 province = 1 lord. Dont over expand. Just sack everything around you and invest into your core region.
>>584482467you wish
I AM EXALTED IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT I NEED ONLY ADD TO THE SKULL THRONE.
crazy how Thanqoul outright starts out with fucking flamethrower units (I don't think even ikit starts out with them...).
holy shit it's CA humiliation week... this is brutal
>>584482950P O L E DOLED
>>584482625>It's fun when you're a melee-heavy army because an ambush is practically a reward.https://youtu.be/I-zppRvO7To?t=50
>>584482946Ikit starts with 2 ratlings + 1 sniper and a fucking nuke.
>>584482470He looks like he is about to knot Thanquol.
>>584482940https://youtu.be/AbmDLVFAaec?t=42
>neferata alone against stacks of 3 wood elves at onceNot a pleasant experience. I feel like wood elves are the worst faction when it comes to dealing with several stacks at once. So much fast ranged units that are slipper and just fly around or gallop around like little faggots on top of bunnies.
>>584482946I feel like they were mad everyone was overlooking the warpfires and going straight for ratling guns so they shoved them into thanquol's starting army and also recruitment of them into his unique building line
>>584479774Morbidex, that guy is a crashout
All I wanted to do was unite the empire before Archaon arrives, but those shitty fucking Southern Realms have distracted the majority of my armies.
>>584483828At least it won't be much longer until they're dealt with, and the Karaz-a-Karak and the Wood Elves definitely won't declare on me.
>>584483828>>584484045*already paints half the map in 10 turns*How the FUCK does he do it?
>>584474025>Chadtekhttps://youtu.be/CEqfZGiyyz8?t=2930
>>584482950CA deserves it, how do you fuck up Shogun 2 of all thing's art direction. Whether you hate the game or not it is the most aesthetic game in the series.
>>584482470It will soon be his time. Skaven are definitely not done yet.
>>584482950gamers annoyed this 80 year old man to get his opinion on a game...
>>584484303>aestheicIts just japan bro
>>584482950they also fucked up the sound. You can barely hear anything in battle other than one or two guys grunting, when you used to be hearing a bedlam of swords shearing through flesh.
>>584484568Thing, Japan does not apply here when Rome 2 was the next game and despite taking place in an equally aesthetic period they fucked up the UI and art direction hard. I don't like Empire but they also did a good job there replicating an Enlightenment aesthetic.
>>584473010They’re cool on paper but goddamn I can’t get over how “warcrafty” they look. Reskins help, but then there’s always a unit, lord, or hero left out. Their mechanics also just aren’t that interesting and few things to make any of the lords distinct from one another besides Ostankya. Wasted potential the faction unfortunately and they’re not going to get touched again until post-Ukraine/Russia war.
>>584484196I'm surprised Volorunt still has that video up. He's genuinely afraid of Sotek beating him up. He contacted the police over this image being posted in his discord. He's the KWABOAT of Total War.
Cothique about to get GOBBED...

>>584477275It looks like a huge improvement, but i’d like to see it mixed with items from the Godslayer mod and give Daniel an actual skill tree.
>>584485753if he makes an anti CA vid its actually over...i am so disappointed thoi wanna refund out of principle but likewhat if they fix it? i know the odds are slimbut what if they make it better within a few months and i don't have the discount anymore, im not payin 40$
>>584485864Pear golem won't bite the hand that feeds him.

>>584458781What a fucking baby
>>584485753maybe he's related to the p*les at mataboo who demastered shogun 2what is his ethnicity
>>584458042Dear Volound, you were always right. Only consoomer paypiggies who are willing to pay $30 for the latest DLC slop are still in denial.Except for politics. Please stop being a retarded leftist.
>>584485864also i think the performance is genuinely some oversight ez to fix thinghow does shogun 2 perform worse than wh3in 64bitit has to be a mistake
Busy pounding Clio boipussy.
fuck the more i think about shogun 2 complete the more mad i getwhy do CA do 0 quality controlwhy do they not have any real person test the thing before they release it even the shills were decrying shogun 2 why didn't they delay it while they fiugred out what was going on?JUST WHAT IS THIS COMPANY WHY DOESN'T IT ACT SANE OR CARE ABOUT THEIR REPUTATION AT ALL
>>584486389They threw it to claude and took whatever it shit out and put it on steam without even looking at it
>>584486372It breaks my heart when guys like him are leftist
>>584486372>>584486905he's not "a leftist" he's a tankie third worldist freak that loves russia, iran, NK etc and any regime that opposes the evil collective west in any way in his eyes
>>584486778also WHY AREN'T THEY SAYING ANYTHINGITS A FUCKING WORK DAY ITS BEEN 1 FULL WORK DAY SINCE THE MOST DISASTROUS RELEASE THEY'VE HAD IN A WHILEWHY THE SILENCENOT EVEN CA MANAGERS ARE ACTIVE ON REDDIT, I CHECKEDi'm so fuckin sick of htis company and after i defended em against the volound hordes too
>>584486778Nigga its not that deep, they wanted a cheap fill until 40k releases preorders, so they got the cheapest european nigger studio to make it for them and allocated no one to QA it because that would raise costs and all CA QA teams are testing 40kIt was just a 0 effort cashgrab, not that out of this world
>>584486979isn't that just the left? because in contrast the right would be full on semitephilia like many in naggaroth are
Histoids get filtered by remakes because the original games are boring feces, and the remakes can't provide thick enough nostalgia lenses to hide it.
>>584486979based fuck jewmerica

>>584487740rune golems
>>584487736y'know, they even did a big PC games show in japan where they mentioned shogun 2 upcoming with japanese VA and updated n shi now some poor jap is gonna boot the game see the shit performance and lack of sovl and never try this franchise againthere's no way they have so ltitle shame about their propertysurely they must have shipped the wrong version
>>584487606my chadmissile
Bros i'm not gonna lie if i was an Empire noble i would turn traitor for Lahmian pussy no question.Also what happened to out resident drawfags. We desperately need Lahmian sister drawings.
>>584467876not black enough for that
>>584487740I think the only unit they've ever had that they still don't have in-game is the shard dragon.
>>584486979>tankie third worldist freak that loves russia, iran, NK etcYou just described a typical leftist. Communists, the KKE in Greece excluded for some Marxist sectarian reason, support all countries that are opposed to NATO, even ones like Russia. Other less orthodox leftists are the same, with plenty pretending to want neutrality and pacifism - things designed to weaken the White race so we're easy pickings for our ideological and racial enemies.The obsession with Zionism is an extension of this racial Marxism. Many Ashkenazim look like Eastern or Central Europeans (evil Whites colonizing the innocent Arab browns) and Israel is allied to le ebil West and so on.>>584487356>the original games are boringThere's mods for that. They've kept Rome 1 and Medieval 2 alive for all this time.Also, an expanded Empire map ported to Napoleon is finally in the works.

>>584487195I never saw a company vary in quality as widly as CA does. Like with ubisoft and EA you know what you are getting. But CA can be anything from good to complete trash back to back. Lords of the end times was barely out before they fucked up this hard.

I was kind of skeptical of people wanting development to end so we can get better mods for WH3 because I didn't think the mods would be that amazing and obviously fall behind in fixing core issues like gate bug or whatever but given the mods released recently maybe they really should just can it.
>>584493440every time they update the game they keep breaking more than they tried to fix.reminder that they left ambushes permanently broken for wh2. (mods fix it of course)
>>584492954delay 40k by 6 months to give shogun 2 the care it deserves
>>584492954No Dreadfu, no buy.
Is CA really using AI or are you guys just shitposting
>>584493978at this point you would be hard pressed to find a development studio not using AI to some extent
>>584493818How does CA sitting on its hand for two months make Poland work faster?
>>584493978the p*les they hired did
>>584493978You tell me chief >>584490154
Polish people ruin everything
>>584493978The sub-contractors they used to "remaster" Shogun II very clearly used a not top of the line AI to upscale the resolution of the unit cards.
>>584493978>>584494129>>584494247weren't there whispers that AI was used on end times unit cards toobut it got forgiven cause the dlc was good
Why didn't they let the Bulgarians at CA Sofia remaster it?What is it called when an outsourcee outsources to an outside source?
>Finally make a nice themed army for her by recruiting Skinwolves from my Norscan vassal>Finally next turn Archaon invades and my vassal is gone too, alongside all units I recruited from themnooooo
>>584494524fags cry AI at everything but for the shogun 2 demaster its undeniable
The funny part is that the final product the Poles put out still has to be approved by CA. Even if they were rushing it, someone at CA must have looked through the game, saw the unit cards, and said "Okay good enough just ship it we can fix it later." They're gonna say some shit about not noticing so they can preserve their rep but that's a lie.
>>584494524I dunno about End Times but a lot of the helf units in Tides was clearly AI.
>>584494538The running theory right now is as follows>Horsham is working on 40k and Med 3>Sofia is working on WH3 DLC>Feral is working on combining the Warhammer trilogy into a single "complete edition" which will include DLC maps from WH1 and VortexThe question you should be asking is why they didn't put Feral on it as remastering and porting Total War titles is half their portfolio.
>>584493978CA hiring a third party who used AI.Still kinda on them for lack of quality control.
>>584494705the whole thing is a fucking dumpster fire. hilarious that CA thought it was fine to vomit it into the world
I'm torn on whether to make Custodes or Sisters of Battle my main for 40k, you got any opinions anons?
>>584494705CA seems like the type of company that's pure nepotism, 0 meritocracy, some entrenched creatures in there sucking dick to keep the boss happy and collect paychecks no matter what while doing 0 real work, i bet a big chunk of the company is exactly like that, you can smell it

>>584495848Yeah, their best portrayal was probably in The Master of Mankind during the Battle at the Webway.
>raze Troy so I can marry Helen to Achilles>kill Priam and Hector when they come to retaliate, accidentally triggering the Greek civil war>sail to Egypt, kill the Pharaoh Menepteh, causing the Egyptian civil warThis game is fucking amazing

We coulda had Araby...
>>584497229would they have their own version of the bloated corpse?
What God should I worship? Ares is ours by default, but a mod changed my starting God to Zeus. But I'm thinking of going with Sekhmet for the larp since that is the Egyptian God of War. And the bonuses from her seem much better. Also she has a nice ass.Alternatively I could worship Sobek and make a stupid amount of food on the Nile to spam a ton of cheap units with.
>>584497129What the fuck is Boris doing at rank 1? 39 settlements? Is Arbaal on vacation?
>>584497670Nice ass.
Someone somewhere fucked something up.
>>584497670Lethality is always the best stat to stack on units if you can find it, ranged a bit better than melee but melee is also good, and Sekhmet is a cool goddess.Even if I prefer Bastet.
>>584498035Picture in your mind's eye Nagash ripping off his crop top and using it to beat Repanse to death.
>>584498035small family company
>>584498035those damn poles!
Since I'm in the mood to play Shogun 2 again, the original, not the awful new release, I was wondering how the mod scene evolved since I've last played it like 10 years ago. Is Darth Mod still the way to go or has it become obsolete?
>>584498103Yeah I had some ideas about stacking ranged bonuses and spamming archers with a durable shield and spear line, but it doesn't feel right to do that with Achilles, so I think I'm going to go for melee lethality. Maybe next I'll use the mod that adds in the female faction from Troy and go rule the land of BBCs where I can spam Nubian longbowmen who worship Artemis.
>>584497670>weapons become stabbier if everyone squats in front of the cat statue twice a dayYou guys told me Pharaoh was historii. What the hell, /twg/?
>>584498361Oh you're playing Achilles? Yeah, for sure go with stacking melee lethality, whether it's with Sekhmet or someone else.Can't comment further because I haven't gotten to modding Pharaoh Dynasties yet.
>>584495559The MANCUNT Magnar FUCKETHEAD
>>584498456It's the priestess of Sekhmet teaching how to stab good (she always goes for the balls).

>>584498456As far back as Rome temples would give various bonuses related to their sphere, anon, this is nothing new.

>>584495167It appeals to me.
>>584498934ZAMN!!!!
>>584497813Apparently Boris remembered he had a job to do.
>>584498312Please respond.
How are the bonuses from building monuments? Debating between this legacy and becoming a follower of Aten, which apparently lets me pick and turbocharge bonuses from different Gods.
>>584499625>>>/vst/This is the Warham general
>>584499334And Archaon apparently forgot his.
>>584495167The flying things are kinda silly but the whole malakai route of inventing stuff is way more interesting than the base dawi. The base warhammer dwarfs are greedy, stupid, live in caves, dying race, grudges, hate advancements. They are as boring and shitty as a race can possibly get. They are so uninteresting that I often forget they are a race in this vidya.The flying orb thingies look stupid as hell but at least they make the race interesting. I wanna know what those are and how they work.. a feeling nobody ever had with the dawi cause they don't fucking do anything besides get killed by rats.
>>584498804you have a depressing sleep schedule..

>>584495559No one gave a shit about Karl Franz till TWW, so he didn't have a consistent appearance, or even really many consistent traits besides "Dude in armour with a hammer on a griffon". Even the hammer got completely redesigned, probably because it looked fucking retarded
>>584491953Calm down, Neferata's doing just fine :)
>>584500387Why franz black
>>584500387Retard.
>>584500504I accept your concession.
>>584500503
>>584498312There's some new overhaul that released a while ago (Master of Strategy Sengoku) that I heard good things about but desu I stick with the HD mod, bug fixes and some minor reskins.
>>584499881They're really just an inversion of dwarf tropes but with steampunk Victorian aesthetics. They live in the sky on floating platforms instead of in caves underground and harvest magic gas instead of mining ore. The gas powers their balloons and blimps and other shit. Also they're still greedy and conservative but instead of being isolationists like dwarfs usually are, many are pioneers, explorers, and merchants. I do think that's more interesting than regular dwarfs but mainly because I like steampunk stuff and we don't really get that a lot in media these days.
>>584500946Could I bother you to give me your modlist? I'd like just a Vanilla+ experience too.
>>584500218>3 discount keys
>>584458042how does he just keeps winning sisters...
>>584501018Warhammer dwarfs get some points for being slightly original due to being so old that most of the tropes were in part solidified by them (and D&D, which were both of course ripping off Tolkien), but they get to be much cooler than D&D dwarfs because they have guns and flamethrowers and such. But kharadron just kinda mog them
>>584499881They lost significantly more than they gained, they're just le greedy steampunk dwarfs except now they're ugly as fuck>The flying orb thingies look stupid as hell but at least they make the race interesting. They objectively do fucking notThere are objective standards for good aesthetics, believe it or not, and they're fucking ugly as hell and not in a good way like Nurgle armies. They're just incredibly poorly designed which is why nobody likes them, and being an iphone contrarian isn't going to change anyone's minds. I sincerely doubt you "want to know how they work" when at a glance you can tell they're just steampunk fart balloons.
>>584501143You are going to be in for a rough time if you don't know that it is extremely easy to fake tweets.
If you ever needed proof that this general is inhabited by the biggest cocksuckers imaginable, scroll up and watch these semen slurpers not just defend le steampunk dwarfs, one of the most tired stereotypes imagine, but also reclassify the more original version of the old stereotype into something that apparently exists everything (it does not).
>>584501425The problem with this argument is warhammer fantasy dwarf models look like shit as well
>>584501026For base Shogun 2 I use >Arrowcannon_sound_fix>Sinkable Ships>Better Faction Color (gives the Oda their black and red from the cover and Oda's actual historical armor + generally tweaks the other factions to have less glaring color schemes but if you want the classic yellow and purple Oda you can drop this one)>Shogun 2 HD Addon: Scabbard and Weapon>Shogun 2 HD (both of these are obvious, improves the textures of all units and adds the iconic dual scabbards for katanas and tachis to all units)>Portuguese Tercos Unit Variety Mod (gives Tercos some variety to their armor which was lacking in base game, textures are kinda scrappy but it generally looks nice)>Hattori/Tokugawa Kisho Ninja Fix>Fatigue Fixed>Unofficial Shogun 2 Patch LiteI sometimes use Beastfeast's No Realm Divided Mod and Common-Sense Diplomacy Adjustments (which makes it so that deals start with low approval towards your faction but tend upwards and can now even survive Realm Divide if you've been allied long enough) when I want less aggravating campaigns but they objectively make the game easier (although Realm Divide still triggers when you take Kyoto so not TOO easy) when compared to pure bugfixes so I'm only mentioning them out of completeness' sake.
>>584500940Ew..>>584501018That's kinda cool, the whole floating platforms and the magic gas stuff. I like that.>>584501425You don't know what the word objective means, you fucking mongoloid. When something is objective it cannot be good or bad.. absolute saar..

Hmm
>>584501864nigger you are an actual esl, stop telling native speakers how to use their language
>>584501656Literally the only other setting I know with steampunk dwarfs is Arcanum, and it's not that the dwarfs are steampunk it's that everyone is steampunk in Arcanum.
>>584502249Elder Scrolls
Can I trust Villitch and Sayl to leave my shit alone as Da Braj or do I have to kill and eat them
>>584501896keeeeeeeeeek oh nonononono no wonder they killed this dogshit setting
>>584502430Yeah that's true I guess.Though those dwarfs also don't have anything in common with the others, considering they were actually elves and they went extinct centuries before the time the games actually take place in.

>>584502859Nigger they are steampunk even in Morrowind (let alone Skyrim), stop coping.
>>584502859There's plenty of steam-powered machinery in the dwemer ruins and the most powerful kind of constructs you come across are literally called steam centurions
>>584503073>robot=steampunk
>>584503243NOT STEAMPUNK, NOTHING TO SEE HERE
>>584502767>Spellforce>The Dwarves of Glistenveld>HammertingThose aren't steampunk.Also the Warcraft dwarves aren't steampunk themselves, the gnomes are, dwarves just get a few machines by proxy.
Does steampunk just mean having steam tech?
>you can't use steam power ever, that's steampunk!!!!!!
>>584502169What in the mental illness..
>>584503468Steampunk just means having retro-futuristic tech inspired by the late 1800s yes. So if you have bronze robots and airships powered by steam power with giant smokestacks and giant steam pipes all over your dungeon, you're steampunk.
I am steamdrunk
>>584503525you're swiss. english is not your native language. why even attempt third worlder esl arguments when you have already told the thread that you're an esl.
>>584503438Warcraft dwarves use steam engines, gnomes straight up have electricity and beyond real life technology
Something cannot be 'Steampunk' without having a countercultural, rebellious message.Steam powered conformist /=/ SteampunkElectricity and Oil but rebellious and society critiquing /=/ SteampunkSteampunk must both push Victorian levels of technology to sci-fi levels whilst also pushing an anti-authority or otherwise rebellious theme or through line.
>>584503963I'm not swiss.Also, i obviously know better. I'm just that awesome.Not like there is a single native english speaker out there. They all speak ebonics which instantly makes them worthless.
bigly newsi am luthor harkon
>>584504046Many classic steampunk works don't explore social issues, or at least not in the countercultural rebellious sense that you require. Steampunk is not cyberpunk, it doesn't have to have a specific political bent.
Is this winnable? Probably not. But I think I can win if I do the throw enemies off walls exploit, with barriered and regen paladin. But that'll take ages.
>>584504483
>>584504483I wish I was the fay enchantress...
>>584503725Steampunk isn't just 'has steam powered stuff', it's a specific aesthetic of steam powered victorian-esque pastiche. If there aren't top hats, it's not steampunk. Yeah the dwemer have elements in common with steampunk, but what is their overall aesthetic? Sumerian pastiche. Otherwise, the warhammer fantasy dwarfs would also count as steampunk, considering all their stuff is powered by steam, they have trains, airships, and giant tanks... And helicopters lol
>>584501813Thanks a lot!
>>584504046You would think so, because it has the word 'punk' in the name, but no, 'punk' transmuted through a linguistic game of telephone into something like 'theme' or 'style'.
>Zhao Ming sends a whole army squadron all the way from Cathay to fuck with me as Thanquol over 1 damn caravanwhat a way to ruin my thanquol run, I am never attacking a caravan again (It barely gave me shit anyways)
>want dark fortresses because the game heavily incentivizes you to get them>if I fight Arbaal and win, choose to subjugate, all of his settlements will be given to a minor Khorne faction>absolutely no way of getting the dark fortress, the a.i will not trade it for anything other than millions of favor possibly>work out that I have to take the fortress first before fighting Arbaal THEN fight him and win so I can subjugate>he force marches to his fortress and won't come outthis system is INFURIATING. ca always do this shit. come up with a new mechanic that's good in theory but execute it fucking horriblynow i could just refuse to subjugate after winning but then need to wait x amount of turns before he respawns, giving his armies time to run around and potentially take my vassals settlements, making me waste time. shit is so fucking annoying
>>584504681You could squint and argue that Warhammer dwarfs are steampunk, yes, not sure what your point is there. They don't have the bronze and blatantly art deco inspired steam powered tech that the dwemer do though. Dressing in weird Victorian steampunk cosplay clothing has never been a requirement of the genre (and is in fact often not present in non-Earth examples of steampunk) and the dwemer have been called steampunk as long as I can remember, genuinely not sure why you're trying to argue this point.
>>584505437The system is cool in concept but is really annoying at times. I've been chasing around characters, unable to do treaties with them because muh reliability, and you can't tell if the faction leader has run off from his home territory or died and needs to wait for a respawn. I allied with Kairos in Old World because I'd been patrolling tzeentch's realm and he wasn't there, and he was near fucking Nagashizzar for some reason. Would've been much better if they just had a scripted army composition that was like "Challenge this leader" and it would teleport you to a battle with them. Have it so if you lose you get a full on game over for lore accuracy or whatever.
>>584503039Yes the pic is morrowind but that's not what was asked.
>>584505047That's what you get for ruining bro's caravans.

She doesn't even make special armies or anything and she has to babysit the fucking wall against sayl nigger and his sword of khaine.
I don't know if it's just a coincidence or if Miao Ying is just coded to be a little BITCH but every time she wars me she loses like 1 battle and then she accepts peace. She's been in an alliance of like 4 people so all 4 declare war on me at the same time and this happened twice and both times she lost 1 battle and peaced out so it made me easier to deal with the other 3.
>>584505437Offer another settlement to Arbaal if you can, but not for peace.

so CA still sucks as company?
>game crashes after a very long manual battleFucking hell. And it was the only crash I've had all year so not at all something I expected.
>>584513046The map designers cooked with end times
40k is 10th time I ignore on release.
>>584514590These lords with tiny weapons on top of great beasts always bothered me so muchLike, what is the point, just store your weapon at that point nigga
>>584514687To clobber a fool that gets too close.
>>584514614I'm a freak and a retard so i'm preordering
>>584514614I'll do the same I did with wh3. I'll buy the game and then creampie every single DLC. The game is obviously going to be another case of a total war game where you'll be paying 600 bucks in DLC by the end.
>>584514942>inb4 its always online and always checking for dlc ownership
>>584515002That's what CA should do if they were competent...Space Marine 2 & Dorktide has online checks and rapes you even without having denuvo
>>584515092Considering that decompiling is now a thing, most games will likely be online only so I wouldn't be surprised
>rare example of rat masonry
>>584515002then it would be my first hypervisor pirated game I ever install
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3819497630
>>584515092Darktide is an online game. Space Marine 2 is a game with online mode and offline campaign, and the dlc's are for the online mode (cosmetics for online). So for both of those it makes sense that they can fuck up creampie.Total War and its DLC's are obviously offline centered. Most people don't care for the tiny online scene. They'd have to make the game online like the other anon said even when you're playing offline which will never ever happen because the backlash would implode their headquarters.
>>584514850Well, at least you are a proud retard.>>584514942Me and paying?Nigga I'll be forced to get that filth by my 2 irl frens who like 40k, then play a 3 player coop campaign with em for maybe a week while drinking myself to SHIT to endure that horrendous "game" for my friends and after they are bored of it, I go to play Skarbrand, if I didn't kill myself.. and I will never buy any fucking dlc. I'll tell steam support the game is broken and beg for a refund.
never thought I'd see roided skeletons
>>584515478The scientific term is 'Bone Marines'
>>58451532640k is going to have a pretty big online mode anon.
Thought ambush battles were boring but this map turned into kino.
>>584515326CA have made it pretty clear that 40k will have a bigger investment in online multiplayer, whether that's enabling drop-in campaigns from Shogun 2 or providing in-house support for competitive battles(bit like Turin but CA do it themselves) or even just a Helldivers-lite system has yet to be seen though
>>584515710Maybe it will. But that's irrelevant to people who are just going to keep playing normally in their offline campaigns. CA can't enforce DLC ownership on people playing offline and like I said, if they force online for people playing offline which is MOST people, it would blow up on their faces. They are likely losing less money by just letting people who want to creampie creampie away.
Techno-sorcery.
QRD on creampie?
>>584516161the feeling of completion.
these buff and debuff effects are getting too bloated and it's messing with my ability to capture kino shots
>>584516161A lot of steam games have their DLC as basically a switch rather than additional content that needs downloading, buying the DLC flips that switch and unlocks the content, creampie flips that same switch without having to purchase the DLC.
>>584516234There's a mod to remove them but it can be quite annoying when you aren't looking for screenshots because it removes the targeting circles for things like enemy spells that are currently casting.
>>584515729That map layout makes every ambush battle feel like you're kicking a baby (if you're using a ranged faction).I got it with wood elves, felt like I might as well AFK.

The whole handmaidens influencing people and the covens thing that neferata has makes no sense to work on some races like greenskins for instance.

PLAYABLE SIGMAR WHENORDERTIDE END GAME WHEN???
>>584518184What the fuck is sigmar anyway?
>when the flamer hits just right
Why does your game look so much better than mine?I'm maxxed out and it still looks less kinomatic.
>>584518254a guy who reached Godhood without those faggy chaos gods
>>584518254He's a big guy
>>584517584this how i felt about establishing slaanesh cults in greenskin settlements
>>584518254He used to be a human but now he's just another warp ghost.
>>584518353That's a cute way of saying he jobbed.
>>584518254Jesus-Conan.
>>584518309I use reshade to enhance my kino. The game can look even more kino with the ultimate lighting mod but it's not updated yet. The default map lighting is very dull and lacking sadly.
>>584518254Human warlord way back when that unified the human tribes that would become the Empire and drove out the greenskins and beastmen and solidified the relationship between the Empire and dorfs.he was Him.
>>584518579>ultimate lighting modI should try that. Didn't know it existed. This game can be so pretty at times, weather overhaul mods make the game so immersive
>>584518747So he's like the emperor in 40k but without the immortality and being kept alive for millennia?
>>584518753It's an essential mod but no update yet, another one is https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3368217482 but it has some bug with terrain texture (CA bug) so I don't use it as well.
>>584518962Ah.Was going to use that one>buggedguess not
Be at peace, for that is all I ever want
If you ever feel weak or useless, remind yourself that the empire exists.A bunch of clowns who made the everchosen, let rats breed rampantly below their cities, do nothing but fuel chaos with emotions and troops which in the end destroyed the planet, they never achieved anything, they have to buy tech and learn magic from others cause they are incapable of everything that doesn't involve jobbing, and they pray to a god who has never done a single thing.Every faction and race has to babysit these absolute fucking morons and try to stop them from destroying themselves and the world around them but they are so utterly retarded they managed to kill themselves anyway.
>>584518847Kinda but no moral ambiguity or no real questionable actions.He was unequivocally the messiah the Empire makes him out to be and he is legit a god now and not a his he isn't he like the Emprah is.
Doesn't everyone just die in the endtimes though and not just empire?
>>584519225>he is legit a god nowThis is established in the canon?
>>584518747He also banged hard N*gash and the 1st (know ?) Everchosen (he banged Miao Ying as well but good).
>>584519205Hmm sounds eerily like another empire in a world more like ours.. I'm sure any and all similarities are a coincidence.
>>584519275No one cares about NPC factionsEmpire is the main character
>>584519205Show flag. Bet it's Cathayan.
>>584519225>but no moral ambiguityWhat moral ambiguity about the Emprah ???
>>584519503U got me..
I fucking love playing skaven.
>>584519598Killing his thunder warriors once they outlived their usefulness comes to mind. But I'm sure there are like 100 other examples. He was never a moral beacon of goodness.
>>584519503Well at least that's the larp, I carey the + flag >>>/bant/25172934
>>584519702Astartes are "things" with a purpose, not "people".
>>584519784And I guess Thunder Warriors were the same.
>>584519938Awwww, look at his puffy golden cheeks, so cute.. and he looks a little sad, I bet he wants love..
>>584520075>Cathay avatar and passfag likes Custodes.Makes perfect sense. Faggot.
>>584519784Untrue. Cringe. Larp.Emprah designed them to be superhuman but still human. If he wanted machines he'd have just brought back the men of iron or focused on suped up servitors.
diplomacy is basically legal cheats, I extort so much money from random factions it's unreal. this gobbo has one settlement and still has cash to spare somehow.
>>584520164I dunno what a custode is, I just find him so goofy he looks adorable
hmm grand gannons :D
>>584458781Why does he look like he's going to cry in the second half
>>584520075>his>heYou should use they as they could be a woman.
Space Marine Intercessors(their T0 infantry) have 10 entities and a total health of 8,200For reference, Armoured Kossars have 100 entities and 8,200 healthEach individual Space Marine has 820 healthFor reference, Ogre bulls have 333 health each.Regular T1 Custodes will likely be 5 entities with nearly 2,000 health for each entity within the unit. If they arrive at all they will field maybe 100 entities if a campaign ever gets to the point where they field a full 20 units+supply reinforcements.
>>584520863Ah shit.. stupid fucking helmets.. I'm so sorry, xister. I didn't mean to misgender.
>>584521152Thank you...
>>584521152I on both sfg and here, stop confusing me and making me double check which tab I'm on.
>>584516161cumming inside of a woman who loves you is the greatest feeling ever
>>584521675And why would I do that, my lil sissy fuccboi?What's your fav faction? I bet it's empire..
>>584520273Outrageous.
>>584518184Unless WH3 gets the future of 3k total war I do expect an incarnate focused counter to the lord of the end times: Empire, Cathay, Dwarves, Tzeentch. Maybe swap Dwarves for Bretonnia or a grab bag of elves with units for all three.Empire will get Valten as either a legendary hero (maybe lord) and karl Franz ascendant in some kind of option (not default) who will be Skarbrand tier melee. Cathay will round out Li Dao and YinYin. Monkey is in a different pack like Bhashiva.Dwarves I dunno I'm just expecting CA to go with "Who can make us the most money here". Elves would tie into the vortex mechanic and could be across all three factions as the elf civil war lets you join Malekith or Tyrion's side and get a mix of the elves.The vortex unraveling mechanic will be a new endgame crisis option that sinks Ulthuan and causes the elven civil war but unleashes the winds of magic into the world. Chaos/skaven do not get any access to the incarnate winds but Egrimm will as a special mechanic. Which lord gets the incarnate wind is determined by factors but it supercharges them like a nemesis crown/sword of khaine/Nagash.Let's all the people who play ordertide get to join in on the overpoweredness, or lets the vampires get even more powerful for some raisin since Vlad could become the incarnate of beasts lmao.
>>584521697What about cumming inside of a woman who hates you
>>584522574>vortex unravels>yuan bo siphons it all>world saved
>>584522863Chinaman will grow larger
>>584522935What?
>>584523221Yuan Bo (human version) will grow to the size of Glottkin.
>>584523498That's NOT how this works! He isn't Godzilla!!He uses the Wu Xing Compass to siphone all that magic from the vortex to then redirect it to wherever he wants. He'd just need a fraction to make the breat bastion invincible. Cathay would instantly become untouchable and all Yuan has to do is move the disks a little.He could easily shit all over Teclis' stupid plan.
>>584480403Sold to Tencent and you get gachas and anime girls.
>>584523783I will now buy your game.
I really think histfags are overselling their importance to TW now.They were, past tense, the primary audience and revenue source but it hasn't been that way for over a decade now.
>>584523783>My wives will become real and GW can't say no to BCD
Finally had someone try to come and kick me out. Most of them are just scurrying around on the East banks of the Nile while I sit in the Pharaoh's palace on West banks.
>>584524189I want to segs the sister
>Greasus has to do 20 turns of Ogre mirrors>Golgfag is a hordeSo if I want to have fun as Ogres I have to pick Skrag the literal who?
>>584525218kys denny
>>584525505nyo
>>584525475Golgfag isn't any more of a horde than regular ogres.
>>584525614But I thought the campaign heavily incentivising not capturing settlements and instead handing them off to the contractee?
>>584525691It's been a while since I played him but the way I remember it you max out most contract rewards with two or three settlements, so there's plenty of room to take trade resources, landmarks etc.
good morning sirs

>>584528579"Mods" :)
>>584526215I don't feel good this morn tbdesu
>>584528579>>584528732Vampires can get an ancillary that gives 1 more allied recruitment slot, among other things

>>584529040I mean you can see the console command button in the top left. He's definitely modding it.And that's a good thing!
>blessed trebuchets are a tier 2 unit that need the same level of tier 5 settlement + tier 5 Advanced mil building investment as thunderbargesI know it's a lot quicker to get to tier 5 due to Bretonnia's growth potential but the power gap between these units is astounding
Progress, I managed to link dilemma to mission to battle.
>>584529827Cheatkun...
>>584530690Yes, anon?
>>584529827>>584530751Better rewards... Beat Skarbrand and get... lame ass rewards.... *kills myself*
>>584530837No you fucking tard boi. Those are just dummies. First I wanna get everything working. Dilemma is fine, battles are fine, now I need to link the 2nd quest battle.Once those are linked and I have given em description texts, I'll make the payloads and adjust the lua to spawn the thing.After that, I'll make custom Thanquol inspired items that can be earned from them. I was thinking like 4-5 unique items... will have to see how hard that is.
>>584529827Can you make it so Archaon can summon chaos faction armies to fight then vassalise them? Running around trying to find the leaders is lame as hell.
3K, Pharaoh and even Troy honestly feel like good to great Total War games using boring settings, in turn, I have a feeling 40k and Med 3 Will be subpar TW games coasting by on the strength of their settings, just can't have nice things happen
>>584529040*Have definitely played this game voice* Allied recruitment is just too powerful
>>584531061Uhh.. sure, that should be easy enough..How do we manage that..I guess a mission that is triggered every few turns or so that generates a random target.. and we limit the targets in the options_junctions_tables to only those archaon can vassal and use it to check if they are alive.. and I guess the mission would have a teleport button.. Works with a dilemma too..Thing is, I dunno if I can dynamically adjust the teleport target via Lua cause these options_junctions are horrid nigger faggots that refuse to listen to most script.uh..but I mean it should be possible
>>584524250>3D unit card artyou're should be ashamed of yourselfvile
>>584531084You're right, though I think the three kingdoms setting is great. Though I would prefer three kingdoms mechanics in the age of gunpowder in asia anyway. I kinda wanna see a mughal faction for example, the military history of asia outside of Japan and China generally seems underrated to me. Pharaoh/troy, I love the bronze age but warfare in it isn't particularly exciting, especially to make something centered around a battle so boring there was a ten year timeskip in the story focusing on it was an odd choice (though troy is a sleeper hit to me anyway)Troy monsters also feel better than warhammer monsters, which then made me sad when I played tww3 and the monsters were just still the same old same old.
>>584531385>especially to make something centered around a battle so boring there was a ten year timeskip in the story focusing on it was an odd choiceHuh? The Iliad has no timeskip, it starts in media res. They also weren't just sitting outside Troy for ten years, there were tons of other battles nearby. Achilles got Briseis in once such battle at Lyrnessus.
I SAID STOP THE COUNT
>>584531642I know, I'm just joking about how if there was to be a choice for a greek-focused total war game, it's kind of funny that they did Troy when most people would have probably preferred the Greco-Persian wars instead so they can play as heckin Leonidas. The Epic Cycle is *about* Troy, but laying siege isn't a particularly interesting part of Total War and so it's more of a game about the battles around the titular city instead
https://steam250.com/bottom100hitting 15% makes it the second most hated game, 9% is probably a bit too hard to reach... unless Legend send his cronies
>>584531680kek it's going lower
>>584531948Why are two FTP Three Kingdoms games the lowest rated?
I wonder.. Could I even win this with my lvl 40 Skarbrand...
>>584532019Checked conqueror's blade one and the first review is an AI essay about how bad it is lmao, I actually 100% believe that's organic because it needs to be someone who thought his own words couldn't convey his distaste
>>584528579
>>584531948>cnc 4: psychological horror >shogun 2: AI
wonder what happened to Miao Ying peasent vore anon.I hope it was painful.
>histfags laughing and cheering about their prized goose becoming a punching bag
>>584533231They're going to laugh too when Medi3 fails then CA goes back to Age of Chadmar
>>584526524I'm having a blast!
>>584533231Have you never noticed how "total war fans" hate total war? They play one rome campaign every 6 months and spend the rest of their time hating every time total war game and dlc ever made. Every single total war youtuber is the same..They don't even play this, they are all mentally challenged schizos who think they like this game.
WHERE'S THE BREAD
Future of 40kek soon
>executionthe what?
>>584534041yes
>>584533917I ate it
I need to come up with 5 unique items.. I'm not creative at all..
>>584534319@grok computah.... do
>>584534041The passive skill you learned when you maxed combat skill tree. Also there's nifty animation when it triggers.
>>584534319STAT UPSTAT UPSTAT UPSTAT UPSTAT UP
>>584533231Why should they care? Shogun 2 still exists
>>584533231Yeah? It's funny to see CA once again drop the ball after getting some good will. The actual superior version of Shogun 2 still exists in my library without having to buy the shitty remaster.
Josh_CA should show up in a video apologizing and then announcing that CA will take over fixing the Complete Edition while the game is delisted temporarily until its fixed and early buyers will get their old Shogun 2 loicense back and get the Complete Edition for free once its fixedNo timeline, no anything, just release it summer next year with all of the performance issues fixed, no more AIslop portraits and at least half of the known Shogun 2 bugs fixed; fixing all of them is impossible but half is doable and realisticAlso no more FOTM discount, if you owned the old Shogun 2 you will always be entitled to no less than a 75% discount
>>584534494It's so fuckling funnyEnd Times and the amazing showings and previews of 40k, even the Shogun 2 announcementPeople were just fucking hyped and optimisticOf course they had to put us down a bit
>>584534675you will get a "we are looking into things" tweet and you will be happy
>>584534675>early buyers will get their old Shogun 2 loicense backbut it's not gone
>>584531084They would have been better as bannerlord games. That and it's old hat but make Troy Mythos:TW where it's basically Smite but total war and they'd still be pumping out DLC for it and there's more yas qweens for CA to shake a stick at by doing that.
>>584534887yeah a total war age of mythology game would have been cool
>>584533645>gone up by 12 minutesI kneel
Items have a start and end date.. CA you fucking faggots.. warhammer does not use dates
>>584484196What's a pear golem?I don't understand how that's an insult. He's not really pear shaped and I'm pretty sure sotek doesn't have a huge ass
>>584531385I'm a big fan of the Three Kingdoms period, especially the novelization of it, but to say that the armies are of secondary importance is an understatement, it's very character driven and the game indulges in it as well, being more of an adaptation of the more popular novel than the records of the period. So the roster is just uninspiring for a TW game which ideally has both interesting characters (or the mechanics to create memorable characters) and a diverse looking roster, but if I have to pick only one of the two I would rather it have interesting units than characters.What positive developments has Warhammer 3 taken from 3k and Troy anyways? Almost nothing, which is a bit understandable but I'm thinking it's just gonna be lost technology territory again.
>>584535690>>584535690>>584535690LAZY DICKHEADS
>>584535694sorry....
>>584531885Almost all the "time skips" are because of lost information. We only know how the war ends because of the Odyssey referencing it.
