/twg/ - total war general

Is it just me or does MLAA make everything look kinda blurry?

>play Multiplayer game
>Greennskins try to siege a Teef Snatcha "hold"
>game desyncs
>attempt to resync
>game just brings us back to the main menu

Multiplayer confirmed for not working?
Did anyone else encounter this?

As the empire, am i supposed to try and confederate all the neighbors of the empire while I wage war to get rid of greenskins etc, and enrich the bretonnian peasants? Or should I be waging aggressive wars against neighbors of the empire?

Lords should be toned down, yeah.

SO IS IT SHIT OR WHAT, I HAVE EXTRA MONEY CONVINCE ME NOT TO BUY IT IF ITS SHIT

>Manfred's quest battles are at the very bottom of the Badlands
God fucking dammit. Half my army is destroyed when I get down there.

My resolution is fucked after updating my graphics drivers. The steam launcher command line isn't worth a shit.

Where the hell is the preferences folder?

I can hear the sweet, sweet sounds of Total War.

can you annex vassals or am i going to have to backstab Schwartzhafen to complete western germany?

The worst total war ever...
- Poor content
- Guidelined campaign
- Game in kit viewable by the architecture game
- Not really pretty
- Bad optimized (especially for nvidia)
- No voices units localization
- No blood and they don't say WHEN it come
- Release splash screen freeze (fixed by hotfix but WHY NOT BEFORE LAUNCH !!!)
- 5 factions (4 in game + 1 dlc (free 1st week))
- Sieges map are so little (wall and small part in city)
- Units formations / special capacity REMOVED
- MADE for warhammer fanboys, only a TW overlay...
+ Each factions was distinct

>- Bad optimized (especially for nvidia)

- Well optimized (some issues for nvidia)

History teacher on suicide watch

Its great, bringing back the days of herohammer.

I'd tell you if it were bad, but is bretty gud

All day spent playing, I really enjoy it.

But fuck sieges, they suck all the fun out of this game, fucking OP towers shitting all over anything that's left outside the walls. I don't even mind the smaller scale for sieges, it's just those fucking towers man.

WAKE ME UP

Grimgor invading is nuts. I nearly have him driven out.

Blunder of the century

I stopped playing this series at Rome 2 and never bothered with Attila.

Is this new one any good or should I just not bother once again?

I am buying this game in hopes that it will be a complete product in a year.

Do you goys have a single fact to back up all this "blunder"?

I swear this is just /v/ermin taking a small visit for release. Attila didn't get any attention on /v/ so we never had this stupid shitflinging during release.

Could i run it /twg/?

Chaos is fun

What faction is the most fun

Hmm I wonder.

same
shaking my damn headoroni famiglioni

>nearly unite the empire
>suddenly dwarves dig up some grudge and declare war
>vampires are still here, orks are still here - vampires a threat for me. orks did not do too much.
>hello we're the spiky boyz from the north and we're here to rape your anus
>every town suddenly has a chaos meter going on

I don't want to live on this planet anymore
I think I'll go chaos next even though I heard they're hard as balls. Is there anyone who has a secluded start with not too much shit going on?

Some pirate edition?

>play VC
>constant progress
>see that dwarves are almost defeated
>hear a WAAAAAAGH!
>suddenly 4 stacks of orks are besieged my capital
>barely win the first fight but they keep coming back

How can people not like this game?

I don't want to pirate it, but I can't afford it. Life is suffering right now.

Why won't Skaeling and Varg shitters leave me alone, all I want to do is spread chaos and corruption.

You can't pirate it you stupid fuck

how do I into chaos

why is there attrition when another stack is nearby
how am I supposed to siege those garrisons with only a 20 stack

>playing Massalia in DeI
>Two turns in every Barbar faction and their mothers declare war on me
>Scramble to take Provincia and secure my borders
>50 turns later I'm still stuck in the north fending off stack after stack of Barbar shits
>No matter how many army's I destroy they won't settle for peace
>With each turn Rome and Carthage diplomacy goes to shit cause I'm trading with both of them and their allies
>Sneaky Iberians to the south slowly creeping forward. Waiting for them to break our non aggression pacts.

This is truly suffering. How the fuck am I supposed to make any head way in this campaign.

Has key price dropped to $30 yet?

>settlement changes after you take it over, getting rid of all the ornate dwarf architecture for orkz trash
pretty neat

still 40 like when I bought it

I played every TW ever made and was here for the Rome 2 launch

Redpill me on Warhammer

What's the skinny

>gtx 750 ti
>i5-4690k
>fps never drops below 30 on high settings

feels gud

Imagine Attila but instead of having many factions you have 5 and instead of strategy you have casual gameplay with no food and no real public order management since every building gives +100 public order and +1000 gold

s'good

both of these are correct

How do you get Empire provinces to Confederacy with you? They always refuse and I can't even buy them off

Thanks, skipping this until it's on sale.

Rather play Attila again.

Some graphics comparisons

>single empire captain attacks my town of 240 troops
>eh this should be easy
>lose nearly everyone, barely stop him

Kek

Same Except AMD 8350 and its more like upper 30s.

He's right about the siege maps, that's kind of unfortunate. Maybe if you fought multiple battles for a city it would be fine, but as is it's kind of small

Cathy is a common English name

>he doesn't like jedi generals from m1

bad ass. for some reason I thought greenskins couldn't take over settlements from other factions

Multiplayer is already dead and it's been dead since an hour after the game released.

For fucks sake.

Every human nation has united to fight back the End Times.

Pictures here is the army of Tilea right on the frontlines.

Is there anything more beautiful?

>Hobgobla Khan event
>woo get hype hobgoblins confirmed
>it's just a message telling me they sacked my capital and fucked back off across the mountains

slightly dissapointed, but still a nice touch

...

>every race feels unique
>game runs and looks great despite /v/ cucks EVERY NEW GAME IS BAD XDDDD meme
>magic system very fun and cool looking
>ai is a lot smarter
>sieges are a lot of fun with the one big wall system
>your troops dont get stuck or act retarted neither does the ai
>genuinely scary when a big waaagghh gets rolling and chaos comes to town

I know, but she's Chinese and Cathay is another name for China.

It's a pretty common English name here also, the word Cathay doesn't cross most people's thoughts

>/v/ cucks EVERY NEW GAME IS BAD XDDDD meme
I think Doom 4 broke /v/.

...

The funny thing is Orks have a pretty secluded start imo since it's only other greenboyz around you early and you can carve out that corner for yourself. The issue is, their entire faction is bent upon you waging war so it doesn't let you have quiet time.

Doom caused some hilarious anti-hype backlash in /v/, but Tortanic was what broke them.

oh for fucks sake, awakening tribes was a mistake they are nothing but trash, for over 100 fucking turns all I am doing is fighting these northern cunts

well at the very begining I fought the various empire factions and kislev a lot, but lately its just these viking shits

I kinda like these bare bones skeletons

It does away with the autistic food and water management.
If you're hoping for DEEP statecraft - you won't get that here.

You get battles with really diverse units - faction specific everything (not really arguable compared to unit diversity of other entries).
You get way stronger heroes and quests/equipment for them (didn't really get to do the quest due to being showered in shit and having to travel across the fucking map)
also magic, boring buffs/debuffs as well as direct damage spells and artillery with oomph

All in all its kinda ok for the 40 merkels I paid on my keysite, if you're starved for a nice timesink or are a warhammer fan then get it. If not, wait.

>mfw watching a Steam Tank kill 4+ units at once

It's the opposite of Stellaris.
Minimal statecrafting and heavy focus on combat and heroes.

>Warhammer is a shit edition

Why are historical fags so buttpained about TW Warhammer?

It's legit the best version of TW yet. It will be superb once all expacs are released

Is morale handled differently than in Attila?

Are battles quicker/slower/same?

Is /v/ still butthurt over Other M? It takes a surprising amount of time for some manchildren to move on.

Because they think Warhammer being a hit will cause CA to forsake historical altogether.

>early chaos campaign

GOOD

played for a bit and almost took the first area of the empire. The game is really good, ten times better than rome 2.
A lot of variety and replayability because of each race being a lot different.
Im gonna play each race in a row, should be hours of gameply.
Its actually feels a lot different in that sense since its the first total war where I want to play every army/race. So you get more out of the content.
I feel though if they just took more time and added more races we wouldn't have to fight our own race.
I'm sure they will change it a bit once the expansions come out.
still haven't even gotten the REALLY different units like steam tanks or birds and magic.

>Faction difficulty rating

Greenskins > Chaos > Empire > Dwarves > Vampire Counts

Mannfred's Varghulf is absolutely overpowered.

>eat lead bonebags

I want to start playing chaos for real, is awakening tribes ever worth it? Only heard stories similar to this one.

Why would that happen? Sure CA could decide to do other fantasy settings but plenty are unsuited to Total War. Warhammer itself is an exceptional case of being half suitable.

I'm still waiting for a Total War: Victoria.
I'm glad to see they did something new for a change. another NotRome 2 would have been depressing.

WHY THE FUCK ARE CROSSBOWS BETTER THAN GUNS

Lot of you guys are getting some pretty screenshots. How do you zoom in so far? I can't zoom in that far on my units.

It's falseflaggers trying to divide the general.

Federation Force diverted some of it away but it's probably not going away anytime soon.

come on, spearmen 2 and spearmen 2.5 started to get REALLY boring.
empire 2 would of been refreshing.
but this is great.

yeah it is, they do a lot of infuriating shit, but you need a place to run to in order to replenish your forces

git gud
rush then, blast them, park your units outside their arc

Except public order is different per faction isn't it?

> Orcs tied to how often they fight?
> Vampires tied to the spread of corruption
> Empire similar to Rome
> Dorfs???

Where am I supposed to be expanding as the empire? Destroying weak electors?

>Playing as Orcs
>Go against that dwarf army underground
>Gyrocopters come in
>Whole army gets absolutely decimated since they dont ever land so cant hit them

nice. Though it made me try Vampires and holy fuck this faction is fun as fuck.

I want Bretonnia to remain free, but they decalred war on me. Is there any way to get relations high enough to ally with them?

Yeah I tried that battle 3 times as Greenskins and couldn't win.

I had a 20 stack of a shitload of melee and like 5 archer units and deployed on both sides. Stomped them, copters come in and shit on me

Can you raze places to get corrupted zones like Chaos?

>I want Bretonnia to remain free
>Not subjugating them to oblivion for being inbred mouthbreathers
