/twg/ - Total War General

They better fucking have town battles, if they don't have town battles in a history game then that's it the devs are dead to me.

SPEARMANII REPORTING FOR DUTY!1

>"only divine intervention, or a military genius could bring us back from this disgrace blabla
I thought I'd lose with this roster vs. Feudal Foot Knights and Seargents but as it turns out, Byzantine bodyguards are one hell of a drug.

Fantasy, not History.

Memes aside I kinda want to play that SAGA title.

Can someone give me a rundown on Darren and links to his stream? He sounds like a soy boy

Dawi from another hold arrives!

Best mods for Empire, Attila & Napoleon?

By Sigmars balls, we're fucked!

>the virgin varg vs the chad beige

What turn?

All mods are cheats.

fantasyfags can't appreciate a nice HEROIC VICTORY made from spearmen and ultraheavy cavalry

Even difficulty ones?

hate mazamudi, lads

>Napoleon
LME or NTW3

Yes, all mods upset the design balance of the game in some way. Achievements should be disabled with mods.

Turn 80 something I believe
Meh, wanted stronger Chaos and I got it. As well as stronger Orcs and stronger Beastmen. Orcs and Beast stacks randomly spawn in groups of 10 every couple of turns or so. This is the first attack by chaos. Archon isnt even here yet.

jesus christ how miserable is your life

>wanted stronger chaos
>took lightning strike

Stronger Chaos Invasion most likely makes all other factions like you more, since the balance of power is off, making them easier to ally with and making the game easier overall. Pretty much cheating.

Also you get a bunch of exp and money from killing more armies.

Do Dwarves still easily win the Badlands Bowl?

What about increased upkeep for players units?

Barbarian Invasion for Rome 1 is basically Attila but they made Attila anyway

Given that TWW3 will launch in 2019 and Thrones of Britain in 2018 and the next history game in 2020 or 2021 then Alexander Total War would come out in like 2023 at the earliest, which would be like 17 years after the Alexander expansion for Rome Total War

Having more limited resources keeps you focused to the end game.

wat do if playing as empire and bretonnia gets marienburg before i do and i dont want to fight leonbro

Higher difficulties do this, and those are specifically designed by the developers as an intended part of the gameplay experience.

>>DEPTH
>put spears in a line
>put longbows/pavise crossbowmen behind
>watch enemy die from arrows/bolts
that's what I did in medieval 1, and medieval 2 and warhamer 2
for rome 1 all I did was
>put pikeman in a line
>watch AI that can't flank at all die at pointy end

how do history games have more in depth again?
oh, you're talking about campaign?
>before warscape
>build every building on every province
>get 10000 gold every turn by turn 30

>afer warscape
>copypaste one kind of build for every province

How is this allowed?
Why hasn't CA sued the shit out of them?

>implying anything has changed in warhammer

what about the fucking horde destroying you

Is this Darren's current grill? She's not bad at all, how can this be?

Wungo smash puny fantasy nerds

step up nigga

Since every TW game becomes mainly siege battles by mid-game, which TW has the best sieges?

>implying that's what I implied
I literally said I use the same tactics from med 1 and 2 in warhammer 2
it's all the same shit
saying "history games have more depth" is laughable. Nothing changed. AI is just as retarded, campaigns are just as easy. Only REAL difference is fantasy has flying units.

>implying magic isn't just artillery and buffs

>muh spearmanii vs spearmanii
>muh barbar faction #934503
>muh build the same buildings in every province

WOW SO MUCH VARIETY

no sweetie, slapping some beards on pre-existing barbar models doesn't constitute a new faction.

>saying "history games have more depth"
well i didnt say that either
>buh buh why is this game about history accurate where are da elfs DDD:

The reason that spear/bow line does not work in Warhammer is because of stats or the absence of archers from a roster. So clearly the simple solution is to do some of the warhammer stat choices for a history game and follow a bit more gameyness over historicity.

So for instance stat Sassanids so they are Bretonnian style. Knights who can literally stay submerged in melee no problem and behave like line infantry. But also have dogshit of dogshit spearmen who can't hold the line for more than five seconds. Have Marcomanni be like orcs with high charge and damage but low morale and abysmal armor. Have Romans be Empire-esque where you can't win if you dont have a balanced army. Have Huns be horsefucker but also maybe an element of the Vampire counts - severe morale shock if the leader is killed given the Huns are fielding a confederacy.

Flying units and magic. You could also argue monstrous infantry and monstrous beasts. Elephants come close to the latter but there's nothing really to fill the role of the former.

Shitposting aside there's charmes and values of Warhammer and of Historical.

Why can't people just like both History and Fantasy?

>historical titles
>accurate

hahahahahahah oh boy you really fell for that meme didn't you?

There was NO point in history where barbarians put themselves into units based on what weapon they have. There were no barbarian units of ALL swords or ALL spears. I understand CA is too incompetent to add units that can use multiple types of melee weapons at once but plz don't say that their games are anywhere near "accurate"

>Tomb Kings still not announced

autism simply will not allow it

>Shitposting aside there's charmes and values of Warhammer and of Historical.
The nerve of some people.

I do, I just want to start flame wars

>offer trade agreement to someone
>diplomacy menu says around 900 gold profit
>accept
>look at trade income from faction i just got the agreement from
>2500 gold
>total income went up by 1000

wut da zog is happening here

someone tell me why i should use kroxigars instead of more saurus or cold ones

>Shitposting aside
NO
FUCK YOU

CA actively help them by giving them early releases.

THEY'RE CUTE
CUTE

Your resources get distributed around all the factions you're trading with. Your new trade partner is buying up stuff you were selling elsewhere before.

>darren thinks attila battles are buggier than r2 battles
Thank god this faggot is going to be forced back into his parent's basement soon

They go nom nom

o

You shouldn't use kroxigars
They underperform

You can do this while still being historical.

Romans remain as they are for the babbies who can't handle strategy, but suffer from shit missiles, subpar melee cav, and utter shit ranged cav.

Persians get insane shock cav, good ranged cav, good archers, but can't form a good melee line. You have to win the battle fast, or else your infantry and archers are dead.

Barbars have an elite core that can hold a shieldwall to rival Romans, but most are mobilized farmers with decent melee stats, good charge, but shit armor.

Horsefuckers are like the Persians but even more dependent on cav. Cataphracts should be rarer but light horsemen should be a hell of a lot cheaper, as cheap as infantry for other factions.

Is this Dryrain's or CA's texture?

CA

The absolutely state of the Asur.

I, the first Temujin poster, will post the rightful ruler of all the world, the bedder of a thousand women and the conquerer of all before him until we get a proper Mongol total war.

>this is his army comp

I can't decide whether Darren is a cuck for quitting his well-paying industry job just to bitch about his employer or an alpha for casually quitting his dream job on the false assumption he had massive, overwhelming internet charisma. Which is it?

Will you accept a China: Total War as tribute?

I think he was fired to be honest

Don't be a faggot, if we stop people who make actually good stuff from earning money then the only people earning money will be sluts flashing their creamy roasties

>Darren tried to save us from Total War: Vikings and they did the blood eagle on him

>See fantasy shitposting about muh variety
>Ask Warhammer buddy about the rosters
>Its just like the historical games with the occasional monster/beast in the non-human factions.
I'm laffin brehs
Fuck off Darren

That doesn't look like my army comp.

Who is darren and why was darren fired?

>Its just like the historical games with the occasional monster/beast in the non-human factions.
That's true of like the Empire and that's it.

...

It doesn't make any sense for CA to lie then though and say he did quit, when they fire him and he immediately bad talks them.

I found out Darren is a year younger than me. I assumed he was older since he used to have a job but I guess not. Now we can both be unemployed Though I can probably make more than him each week doing online and seasonal work lel

>redditors whine that SFO is a nazi
>he still makes 25,000 a year just tweaking stats and shit in his mod

I think we should all start a campaign to bring back darren

who on earth would we play as to achieve that?

I only endorse people with hair, sorry Darren.
