nth for big black orcs

do you guys lose any of your powers if you lose your hair?

that's pretty sad tho

They're light cavalry but any cavalry would charge shit in those days if they thought they could get away with it.
>so I told them to charge the enemy fleet and they actually did it the absolute madmen

>mage with no particle effects

>No upkeep mod :^)

This is 90% of the people who beat legendary

I wasn't using mods. My camp was rank 5, i think that lowers the upkeep cost a bunch.

Continuing from the last thread:

As it turns out, Vampires aren't so tough when you have higher tier units and a reasonably experienced commander.

Sadly no patch news yet.

Sounds pretty sihkening.

>they're just poles on horses m8
thought everyone used Hussars. Just thought Winged hussar was a special polish heavy variant

>>so I told them to charge the enemy fleet and they actually did it the absolute madmen
kek

Are they supposed to have particle effects on higher graphical settings? I've only ever played on medium so I've never known, guess it's time to save up for a new gpu.

Here's one of my more embarassing moments in TW

glorious Prussia

Currently figthing Pooland

>>Look over to dad.
>>Tears in his eyes.
give him a pat on the back man.

also do you play Mughals or Maratha or UK in Empire TW?

>multiplayer chaos unit prices

is gelt fun with the way magic sucks?

I don't undestand

I know nothing about sikh, sorry

>tfw you have to give every unit a unique name

...

Unmodded magic is kinda shitty, which is why I'm using a mod to fix it. That said, buff spells have their uses even in vanilla.

which mod?

Ho there, friend. You forgot to take off your trip.

Hachikuji legendary lord when?

This one. It works really well so far as I can tell.

Enjoy half the game not working I guess

>some people in this thread actually believe medieval 2 is the best game

How can people even justify this?

apreciate it m8

Hopefully Kislev will get some dlc. If not that, then hopefully some kind soul will give them some unique units.

Please keep derailing the thread as opposed to posting actual content

Because it's not dumbed down crap like Warhammer?

youtu.be/Uv9fYQbCBUg

not him but having even Darren just do some bad russian accent would've been better than having kislev soldiers talk about Reikland

I merely informed him that he forgot to take of his trip.

To the people who played Attila:
what do the attributes Berserker and run amok (what triggers it) do?

nowhere did I even imply anything like this

That being said, they've used "generic barbarian voice guy" for 3 games in a row, so it's pretty lazy even of CA to be using empire lines for kislev.

Are grenades still a nice-looking but complete waste of time in Darth?

Is that the Master of Strategy mod?

You can prove laziness? Or is it just that they're trying to make a niche game for a niche market with limited funding because all of their previous games had mediocre sales at best and thus couldn't spare the time on such an insignificant detail?

>this town is too hot
>my feet hurts
>I wish I was home with my harem

Now they just need to fix hit detection. Bombardment skills with multiple projectiles (most noticeably Searing Doom) can be overcasted and fired into a clump and still kill only a dozen guys at best.

yes, stacked all available +acc bonuses you can gather in one town

>implying I was comparing it to total war warhammer

Total war isn't made up of two games y'know? There are much better tw games than medieval 2. In fact it could be argued it's one of the worst mechanically wise since a lot of it is fucking broken.

Also that video is literally retarded.

>49 minute video that could have made the same point in less than 4 minutes

Why?

Name 3 TWs objectively better than M2

>Berserker
you lose control of the unit and they attack any enemies in range and just goes after them. they become fully rested so in a way it's a good thing and I'm not sure but they might get a damage boost

>run amok
you lose control of the unit and it damages anything whilst running around like crazy. This is mostly an Elephant thing.
you have the option to kill the unit in case it's coming close to fucking up your own units but then you lose that elephant unit

>not playing on Ultra unit-size

They're turned off by default and I saw now reason to change it, that said, grenadiers are still a good elite unit of line infantry+

Empire, Shogun 2 and WH

kek take off your nostalgia glasses.

Rome 1, FotS and Attila.

nope, it's pretty much an even mix of laziness and greed at this point. At least the greed is understandable.

That mod is really fun, if only it wouldnt crash that much.

>Shogun 2
Weeb game
>Empire
Hot garbage

>Rome 1
No

On release? Napoleon, Shogun 2 and Attila. Although M2 did eventually mature into the best in the series it was only after a lot of bloody work.

Medieval 1
Rome 1
Napoleon
Shogun 2
Attila

You got one for every engine

So you're just mad at the world because you don't understand it.

Didn't expect to see that sentiment outside of /kspg/.

>setting is relevant to quality

>Rome 1

>literally the only downside compared to m2 is the graphics
>the rest of the game actually works
>"No"

You are an idiot

>i play total war SKILLFULLY

but none of the total wars require skill. whats the tldw; of this?

>shogun 2
>weeb
your opinion is already invalidated but lets continue

>empire
>hot garbage
broken as shit but so is medieval 2

>rome 1
unlike medieval 2 the mechanics in this game work

Pretty much

>muh M2 quran

mad weeb detected

Darren go to bed. no point in arguing with people on Veeky Forums

>boogeymen

Oh for fuck's sake.

>he can't argue against facts so hes resorting to the weeb card

I'm agreeing with you mostly but again you're not gonna convince that other guy. he is dead set on CA being greedy fucks. you have nothing to gain by arguing with him over this.

just get CA to release Brettonia DLC and update magic ffs

...

>doesnt even try to refute

calm down bro, dont stain your katana on us.

...

thank you

Run Amok works when added to TWW units, still have to test Berserker

>hit image limit early because of anime/anti anime shitposting
>anti anime/anti trip ebin fighters already ate up several image slots

Just go to /b/

Maybe not the best but definitely my personal favorite, which would you say is the best and/or your favorite?

What are your fucking settings?

In the original Total War: Shogun, I once watched a Kensai successfully defend a bridge against an entire brigade of enemy Samurai. In that moment the last vestiges of historical accuracy drained out of the series, never to return. It wasn't a great loss: the franchise is still the best wedding of tactical and strategic layers ever to grace a computer. But given the emptiness of its historical settings, it makes sense that Total War has finally ditched any pretence of simulation with the entirely pretend Total War: Warhammer.

Not that the result has much in common with either piece of source material. As a veteran of both, I started out utterly confused after an inexcusably bad tutorial and lack of instruction material. Miniature gamers will discover that tried and tested tabletop tactics don't work on these digital battlefields. Total War devotees, on the other hand, will find that while the mechanics are familiar, the vast diversity of new and bizarre units make the game play very differently to its predecessors.

Given how awful the learning curve is at the moment, it's tempting to stall on this until various bloggers and vloggers have got on the case to smooth it out. Patches will come, prices may drop. Those who like a challenge may wish to take the plunge now and learn the hard way. Either way, if you have the slightest interest then this is not a game to miss. In bringing fantasy to Total War, Creative Assembly have made both the best Total War game and the best fantasy strategy game to date.

>Run Amok works when added to TWW units, still have to test Berserker
oh you're a based modder?

please add run amok to giants and the hellcanon if possible.
Iirc it can run amok in Warhammer tabletop

see

Attila. Or, atleast it blows Med2 out of the water.

Go back to /a/ if you want to talk about Shogun 2, Persona or Kawata Shouju you massive weeb

>garrison armies are 90% zombies
>they literally line the entire wall
>living fucking shits lose all their vigor hacking through endless mobs of shit tier units
>when they finally break through they face the free garrison units
VC is rad as hell

>liking Paradox: Total War: Spearman edition

Managing food and corruption sure is fun

>VC is rad as hell
agreed but I miss ranged units in defensive sieges.

dorfs was fun as hell just gunning down greenskins like crazy

I'm buying a new monitor very soon. If I resized them smaller, would it look better?

You could say the same of Rome 2, just a bunch of pikemen spamming, still a major improvement over med 2 though

vampirecount deathstar too strong.

Unfortunately, the cannon does nothing, only the crew gets the effects, giants running amok is a must tho
