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.

Why did Italian spear militia have to be so overpowered bros?
>>
>>2170070
Total 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.

i recently migrated to linux mint (22.2) because dealing with windows was becoming increasingly cancerous
it 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 change
i 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 bug

it'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
>>
>>2170294
How 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?
>>
>>2171155
I 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.

If 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.

Well that but talking german to the horse was also to say that german was the language of war/his armies.

>I speak Spanish to God
Charles grew up in Spain to a Spanish mother so his religious education was in Spanish.
>Italian to women
He was addressing the Italians as his lessers because he dominated them.
>French to men
French was the language of diplomacy and his greatest rival, so thats how he spoke to his equals.
>and German I speak to my horse
His reign in Germany was marked by military campaigns, internally, against Italy and the cockroaches. German was his language of war.
>>

>He was addressing the Italians as his lessers because he dominated them.
Italian was the cultural romantic language, Charles enjoyed girls

i 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 broken
Isn't that just a general M2 thing?
>>
>>2174842
cavalry 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
>>
>>2170294
It’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
>>2174862
It 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.
>>
>>2170294
Do 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.
>>
>>2174917
Ah that kind of oppressively OP. That explains things.

Did Hospitallers mog Templars irl too?

>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.

In 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.

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?
