Total War unit quotes were always so absurdly shit and low effort. It's only with Warhammer that this assembly bothered to use some of their creativity.

Is it not obvious that I am your foe, infidel?
>>2160539RTW and M2TW should have extended to the Indus River desu
>>2161015they both have mods that do that
>>2161063Yh I know but still the base game should have done that desu
>>2157733>he didn't install native voice mod
>>2161063Too bad they remove America from the game. I loved exploring the seas and find the Aztecs
HOPLITE
>>2161015>>2161063>>2161152In all those mods the entire added part of the map becomes part of some ridiculous blob that instantly destroys the eventual mongol and timurid domstacks.

>>2165011before a certain Austrian fucked things up German was viewed as the language of poets and philosophers

>>2167540before a certain Italian fucked things up Italian was viewed as the language of poets and philosophers
>>2167540>I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and G*rman I speak to my horse.
Why did Italian spear militia have to be so overpowered bros?
>>2170070Total War follows the RTS logic of exaggerating historical units to some degree, France gets good cav, England gets good longbows, Scots are all braveheart references, Medieval Italy is known for Mercs, Urban Militias, balkanization (and in addition to Mercs section are crossbow units as well being rich af) etc.
>>2157733i recently migrated to linux mint (22.2) because dealing with windows was becoming increasingly cancerousit completely fixed my rome 1 total war performance issues (known issue for some people no matter how good their rig is), now i can play EB1 again for a changei tried everything else, 4gb patch, old disc version, compatibility settings, the custom .dll, changing affinity settings on task manager... nothing worked except migrating to linux, meaning it must have been a windows specific bugit's not just rome 1 of course, i have seen crazy performance gains all around the board even with productivity software (gimp, blender, unity)food for thought for anyone interested
>>2170294How easy is it to migrate these days? I played with Linux for a bit many years ago and it felt too different.
Do most anons still use Stainless Steel?
>>2171155I just backed up everything from my SSD to my HDD, then had a clean Linux install on the SSD from scratch (this is optional, you can just create a partition and dual boot at will). Took a couple of minutes.After that I got most normieware and productivity apps set up within the hour.I barely had to use the console, only to install unity hub but I didn't have to learn anything; the website detects you have linux and tells you what commands to run. It's completely retardproof.
>FRANKENSTEIN
>>2171341I don't. Stainless Steel's map is ugly and SSHIP is too bloated imo
>>2157876BOWS OF ARTEMIS
>>2171341If it weren't for the game breaking bugs I wouldn't use mods at all. Too many of them are bloated with nonsense or fuck up the clean UI design.
>>2170067That was a century before Goethe and Beethoven
>>2173327Where is Ethe and why am I going there?
>>2173327Well that but talking german to the horse was also to say that german was the language of war/his armies.
>>2170067>I speak Spanish to GodCharles grew up in Spain to a Spanish mother so his religious education was in Spanish. >Italian to womenHe was addressing the Italians as his lessers because he dominated them. >French to menFrench was the language of diplomacy and his greatest rival, so thats how he spoke to his equals.>and German I speak to my horseHis reign in Germany was marked by military campaigns, internally, against Italy and the cockroaches. German was his language of war.
>>2174333>He was addressing the Italians as his lessers because he dominated them.Italian was the cultural romantic language, Charles enjoyed girls
>>2171341i want to like stainless steel but it made cavalry so broken its ridiculous and the starting positions are chosen based on historical accuracy instead of player enjoyment so you got q big purple blob running amock. Vanilla did it better by sacrificing historical accuracy for balancing.
>>2174791>it made cavalry so brokenIsn't that just a general M2 thing?
>>2174842cavalry are buggy as shit in vanilla medieval 2 but i think what that anon was trying to say is that cavalry is overpowered in stainless steel
>>2170294It’s because Linux uses dxvk as a wrapper, people can do this on Windows as well to fix performance. Instructions are on the pcgamingwiki page for Rome 1. Same goes for Medieval 2 to fix the slowdown that happens when walls are crumbling.
>>2174842>>2174862It is OP in both game but in vanilla heavy infantry may at least swallow a cavalry charge if positioned right. In SS if a regiment of knights charges into the front of your battalion of dismounted Huscarls you got no more huscarls.
>>2170294Do the fmvs work? Last time I looked into Linux, games with fmvs just wouldn't be able to play them, so you generally had to deal with games not having pre-rendered cutscenes.
>>2174917Ah that kind of oppressively OP. That explains things.
Did Hospitallers mog Templars irl too?
>>2174917>if a regiment of knights charges into the front of your battalion of dismounted Huscarls you got no more huscarls.I wouldn't mind this if knights were as rare as they should be.But when you can easily get a full stack in a few turns, it's pretty ridiculous.
>>2157733
>>2175334Teautonics mog all
>>2175334In a way yes, since they were still highly appreciated and continued doing epic shit like defending Malta from an Ottoman invasion while the Templars pissed off a bunch of rich people and got burnt alive.
>HEAVEH INFANTREH
>>2174791>Vanilla did it better by sacrificing historical accuracy for balancing.Don't give me that crap about balancing.Some faction should have an easier time, others struggle to stay alive.If everybody has the same start then why bother playing other factions?

add variation if you want but did anyone actually find playing the large blobs in stainless steel, byzantium, the hre, the moors, etc, funny?

>>2181015>the worstyou mean the best?
>>2167540It still is. No other country has as strong a philosophical track record as Germany.

>>2220871Not really no, my diplomacy always involves me making tons of cash
>>2160529ALL OF ROME WILL BE AMAZED AT SUCH A VICTORYTHE DAAAYYYY ISSSSS OUUURRSSSSSSSSS
>>2174791It's better when you mod the hit rate to normal levels again (SS devs made it 3.0 and that's why cav charges demolish everything) but honestly, the more you try to fix the more you realize Stainless Steel is an incredibly primitive and unstable experience. More recent mods really put it to shame in terms of overall enjoyment, if only because things actually work like you'd expect.
>>2160529ROME HAS CONQUERED!
>>2171806>and SSHIP is too bloated imoSSHIP would be good if it didn't take 5000 turns to get to any interesting unit.
>>2223975>THE DAAAYYYY ISSSSS OUUURRSSSSSSSSSI unironically shout this sometimes when I achieve something IRL.
>>2232780>The virgin Medieval 2 modder wanting you to only get a unit on the EXACT date that a particular tech was invented (or even later)>The chad Europa Barbarorum modder that lets you pursue unit unlocks on your own initiative
>>2175334>>2177298Idk bros, neither the Hospitallers or the Teutonics get the attention that Templars have gotten through the ages, either as heroes or antagonists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B10ECkQXQtUTeutons burned any good will and lost their path when they started killing to convert Europeans en masse and later warring against fellow Catholics. Only the Hospitallers stayed true to their mission as long as they could, and are the 2nd best order for that.Reminder that when the average person thinks of a crusader, they picture a guy wearing a white tunic with a red cross despite not being the image of the typical crusading knight. In wrestlling terms, the Templars are the Michaels of the crusading orders.
>>2236866>sl*vs>europeansthe teutonic knights were based because they killed polaks and tried to kill ziggers
>Tried Didn't go well, did it?
>>2170285You forgot how Byz had flamethrowers and Morocco with gun mounted camels.Then again all TW games had these super ahistorical units like Shogun 2 with the hero units it’s only Rome 2, Attila and Britannia TW where they decided that no fun was allowed.>>2171341Nah it’s garbage and unpolished, Cav is overpowered and wipes out entire units on the first charge and the game crashes a lot to the point that all progress is ruined.
>>2174917Knights and other cav were not OP in vanilla Med2 a single levy spearman can kill off high tier knights if positioned right like forests or choke points but in SS no matter what you have to sacrifice a couple of units to kill off a single cav.
>>2240266
>GLORIOUS VICTORY, SIR, SOON TO BE YOURS
>>2233902The latter is what I want to see. Shit that unlocks more dynamically based on conditions in the game. For M3 something like mongols should arrive at a suitable time, not specific on the dot a certain precise turn. Have black death show up when trade is really international and again the RNG activates it.
Honour dictates I inform (You) I intend to fap.
>>2157733>I carry many great wounds, all honourably earned in battle.>Aye, and all earned in honorable service, like a TRVE ENGLISHMAN!
Fear is a weapon, wise generals, USE WILL!
>>2240280>Knights get rekt if they attack infantry specialising in killing cav in the ideal situations to kill cavyeah that sounds balanced, meanwhile in ideal charge conditions those some knights can wipe out those spears in a single charge. In SS/SSHIP knights can charge into braced heavy spears and still kill half the unit which boosts the retarded ai who like to suicide charge their cav constantly.
