Rome has always been the "Hegemony of Europe." The title of "Roman Emperor" is synonymous with "The Ruler of Europe / Western Civilization." Any European empire that would have succeeded in conquering most of Europe would have naturally evolved into being "The Roman Empire." Even as late as the 19th century, Napoleon Bonaparte tried to style himself as a "Roman Emperor." You could even argue that Nazi Germany in the 20th century was trying to roleplay as a "Roman Empire."

Yeah the RNG is fucking me over big time. I really like the necromancer and cultist classes so far. With necro I try to get apprentice to do all my raising and leave the soulless behind in any settlement as fodder protectors. Am I making a mistake by not investing in any human archers/spearmen outside of the initial batch you get started with? The bane archers seem to do a great job from a range

>>2357416
First you'll flounder and die to roamers. Why in the actual fuck am I collecting these fucking hands and how can one collect enough gems to do anything etc. Then you'll play a game or few of baron and consider him truly broken and you, yourself, El's gift to gaming. You'll have a week or few trying out different classes, wondering why someone considers necromancer broken or why is demonologist or cultist muh busted. Eventually you'll notice why something as simple as float can be gamechanging, what to look out in a spell or attack list. What items work on what. You'll discover gamebreaking things and then you'll discover they're actually very easy to counter. You'll think how the spell list sucks because it makes you pick those other spells and not just spam meteor. And then you'll figure out that you can do precisely that if you pick two fireward+ spells with that meteor. You'll transition from a brainlet that brings 9000+ troops into someone that brings a dozen and those dozen do a better job because that army setup isn't gay or schizo. The moment you realize you can charm or otherwise kinkshame a primary ritual caster of a different class and in essence multiclass you'll more than likely blackout in sheer orgasmic bliss.
In about a month, ideally, you'll casually stroke your dickhair while looking down with objective and justified disdain at some other newfag dying to roamers.

And if you're wondering what's the difference between this and dominions? The cycle takes about 30x longer and not everyone survives it without getting hard filtered.

>>2357426

>>2357419

NTA but the balance is all over the place, infantry becomes useless later with vehicles, even though you can invest a shitton of money into infantry upgrades. A lot of good ideas, fun boom boom vehicles, lackluster execution. And the aztec faction is really boring, nigger an orb of light that zaps shit? Next to mortar-tank-spider mechs? How dull in comparison.

Is it normal to have one 'main' TW game which you spend hundreds or thousands of hours on and then other TW games just don't hook you as much?

>>2357399
You played 1 good game and 2 shit ones.

The only problem is that Total War really only has 2 amazing games.
Rome 1 and Shogun 2.

Depending on your tastes certain titles are also great, but you'll always have to sacrifice something for it.
Med 2 is great if you don't mind it being brutally unbalanced and one-note.
Warhammer is great if you get yourself invested in the setting.
Three Kingdoms is great if you love the campaign map gameplay and don't mind boring battles.

Everything else is some variant of mediocre to unremarkable. Empire and Napoleon are just worse Fall of the Samurai. Attila is just a worse Three Kingdoms and Thrones of Britannia is an even worse Attila. Rome 2 is just milquetoast all around and Troy/Pharaoh are kind of redresses of that, adding some ideas but never solving any of the real issues.
Med 2, Empire and Rome 2 are the Bethesda games where most just install a billion mods and the grand majority runs a single battle before uninstalling the game.

>>2357399
Yes, definitely
Doubly so if you don't have any interest in the time periods or settings the other games take place in

>>2357399
You gotta play Rome 2 with dei and MIs mods

I haven't played Perisno since 1.5, so I thought I'd play it now, but I can't decide on the race, faction and build I wanna go with. The other time I had played I think I just went with a human, INT focused, with a lance, shield and a one hander, siding with Tolrania before making my own kingdom later.
I should really go with something else now for diversity's sake, but I kinda just like this sort of playstyle.
Logically, playing a full STR melee infantry Giant or Dwarf, or maybe a horse archer Elf would probably be the most different, but running around with no horse is a pain in the ass, and using top tier archers is kinda too OP to be fun imo. Plus the human kingdoms have the coolest looking troops.
Anyone played recently? And recommendations for race/build/faction?

I had the same exact issue. Regular battles are fine, but sieges are atrociously bugged. From the mods I've tried, it's by far the best mod when it comes to troop formations. But I gave up on it eventually.

Last update break my game once again, my fault for not stopping the automatic updates.
I guess I'll just reinstall those sweet 98.3 gbs

any Realistic Battle Mod users here? The mod is great but it really rapes the economy, anyone knows an alternative/fix to this? or any other mod that makes a fuckedup economy playable by raising difficulty or cost of units/upkeep etc??

>>2355396
You generally want damage and survivability on a frontline 2H bro. Those utility perks are better for other bros with more attacks per turn and more either of the perk's relevant stat.
I don't know if there are any specific anti-champion builds. I think you just want high roll bros with standard builds since champions are regular humanoid enemies.

>>2355448

This was the build in question. As useful as Fearsome is in Orc camps every other perk that's not required felt like they were not very good at boosting survivability.

>>2355396
There isn't really a specific champion killing build that you build on a certain bro, ideally instead you want to focus on good tactics and positioning. What you want to setup during the fight is to bait them in one by one (this can be difficult, but you can abuse the AI by having 1 squishy dude) and then unload all your damage over two turns and kill them each before they have the chance to oneshot your bros. You wait before they charge in on the first turn and abuse nets and/or 2H hammer staggers to force them to act last on the second turn. You generally just want bros with high attack as defensive bros can just get murdered randomly especially if the champions have named weapons. This is pretty much how you beat fights like pic related, although champion swordmasters have such ridiculous mdef that you need archers/throwers as well to ensure you actually get the kills over two turns reliably.

Orc (especially warlord) champions may be a bit different since they have tons of hp/armor, but the same swarm strategy can still apply for eg. if they have a 2H axe, the swarm strategy guarantees that they will use round swing, which has low accuracy and usually can't oneshot a bro. In general though I don't bother with orc champions as they rarely drop anything good and linebreaking is significantly annoying bullshit to play around.

>>2355962
Is this a 2H mace build? It seems really weird to me. What is the purpose of this brother? If his goal is to stun dangerous enemies then underdog is a waste as he should never be getting surrounded. Nimble seems a weird pick because fatigue shouldn't be an issue on a 2H dude that attacks once per turn, and battleforged is better in general just for survivability come lategame when you're farming champions. Resilient isn't worth a perk point, and fearsome feels like a luxury perk that you should only really take on backliners.

I don't mind nimble 2H mace bros at all, but I typically build them as Qatal quick swappers for insane versatility and damage, and they don't even take mace mastery so the build looks quite unorthodox: https://www.bbplanner.xyz/?perks=kEYQBAgk

I hate how underwhelming the bonus effects are on pretty much all craftable level 60 gear. The stats themselves aren't bad on those items but I don't see much value from a single digit block reduction or some of the other extremely situational bonuses on the armor items.

It would be more efficient vigor-wise use Awaken on Misty before using Hide and Sprint but I don't think it really makes a difference. I was more shocked by 99str not having Damage Absorbing on his drone leading to it being one-shot, it's such a high-value module to use essentially being Impulse Fields on steroids.

Not that anon, but let us discuss this.

First, check this link https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Necromancer

As we can see on the "secrets" part, the number of secrets used in worldgen is directly related to the powers a necromancer has.

The only 2 abilities who are always assured is "raise corpses" and "intelligent undead".

So if your necromancer is summoning nightmares and boogeymen, it is because of the "secret" value that was used during world gen and your luck on RNG.

So in your case it is harder because your worldgen RNG gave the necromancer the ability to summon nightmares and boogeymen.

Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>2357169
>no scroll
Select the necromancer, go to the groups tab, check where he came from.

Chances are, there is a scroll wherever they came from, and you could send squads to look for it.

If you find it, a dorf can read it and may become a necromancer.

>>2357163
I just realized what the display pedestals are for, that's genius. I was wasting my time with stockpiles and filters
>>2357186
Yeah, the necromancers were summoning boogeymen and reviving dead dwarves at the exact same time. Four necromancers wound up killing themselves this way, so I canceled my dwarves immortality project.
But this gave me an idea, maybe there are other books in my world that contain the secrets of life and death, but not the secrets to summoning boogeymen. Time to go on more raids.
