>OVERCASTING SPELLS Double click a spell (it needs to be a boostable spell and you need to have enough magic in the magic pool) to overcast the spell There's a 50% chance that the caster damages itself though!
>QUEST BATTLE TELEPORT Select your lord (make sure he isn't garrisoned or in a stance) Select the quest battle (on the map or through quest log) There's a button in the bottom right of the quest battle window that you can use to teleport for 5k gold (when the battle's finished you're automatically teleported back to your original position)
>GROUP ATTACK Group units with ctrl + g Select your group and right click the enemy All your units move and automatically direct themselves to and engage enemies they get close to while maintaining formation
2nd for "1 month to make Orcs even worse then they were before."
Christopher Smith
does the patch mention shit about AOE spells not scaling with unit size properly?
did they fucking fix balthasar gelt and heinrich kemmler so they are more viable?
Jonathan Price
New thread?
Riight, when would that pontus shitposter gonna strike again with that google translation shit?
Jaxon Ortiz
xth for Marauder Horsemen
Caleb Jones
1 month for one unit, its pottery lads ;)
Only 6 more till Bretonnia, no wonder its a 10 year plan.

How do you not suck at Stainless Steel? My troops get absolutely cucked by Turkish archers and skirmishers.
Adam Fisher
fuck you
Kayden Rivera
It's really quite amazing
Jeremiah Gutierrez
People need something to complain about, no matter what.
Juan Gomez
Let's kill some chaos warriors.
Angel Reed
modern gaming audience, user
Ayden Lewis
I was considering getting back into the original Rome after not having played it for years.
I have only ever played it vanilla.
Is there any "essential" or /twg/-approved" mods for the game?
Nicholas Jackson
Isn't that one realism mod pretty good? Europa Barborum or something like that.
William Nguyen
Just like real life I guess. You have to get your own good light cav or skirmishers.
Nathaniel Green
Radious
Lincoln Stewart
I don't care about DLC or whatever There's no fucking content
Radious modded Rome 1? No need, its units already radious-tier
Isaac Lewis
I'm just happy to see a patch.
Doesn't seem to mention it in the spell section. They did modify direct damage spells and fiddle with agents. So one thing at a time I guess.
Some interesting changes.
Flat buffs to a lot of Chaos Warrior stuff. Yet Forsaken are more rebalanced with losses in fight stats but gains in speed and charge bonus. Marauder Horseman gained damage, reload, and accuracy which may make them feel like they actually do damage now. Faster warhounds may make a huge difference in early campaign to offset that.
Dwarves getting some cute buffs. Didn't use flame cannon much and now I may. Organ Gun having pen against trolls is nice. Slayers having a lower chance to get KD by splash attacks could be all they needed to be viable against big guys.
Empire doesn't see much changes. -speed to a few units (griffons/demigriffons)
Greenskins getting savage orc nerfs makes me happy for campaign.
VC seeing nerfs/buffs. Ethereal getting more physical resistance.
AI tweaks.... >Increased war co-ordination attack priority in campaign. Sweet.
>Ai is now less inclined to start chasing the chaos player around the campaign map FUCKING SWEET
>Increased the chance chaos recruits That should make them showing up scarier.
Looking like a solid first patch to me.
Jose Baker
When are Greenskins going to not be terrible?
Jose Moore
Mate, they were speculated since the FLC release schedule was revealed.
Christian Phillips
I've had Atilla for a while but I never got around to playing it, should I bother with any of the DLC while they're all on sale? Should I get Rome 2 instead?
Nolan King
Well if the clue is in the picture, then we could probably guess at what we expect to see for the other FLC
Jaxon Carter
Age of Charlemagne
Christian Garcia
That's the Vampire Count Sigil...
Samuel Lewis
there was plenty of speculation once the FreeLC schedule was put on the wiki and most folks expected that first unit to be the Blood Dragons
Michael Garcia
>doing all races on hard this time >dwarves and chaos really fun >empire still easy >VC is possible but greenskins grew too strong and kept invading sylvania over and over >greenskins now >turn 25, surrounded by stacks of dwarves >only have black krag >all other greenskin factions nearby are already dead
How am I supposed to win this now? You need like 3 armies to kill one of the stunties.
Christopher Turner
Is Empire a good buy now that's on sale? Or is it still broken as hell?
Levi Sanders
super secret Free LC release order
Hudson Ortiz
Broken. Buy it only if it is dirt cheap.
Anthony Cook
How mad are the male feminists gonna be when the Legendary Lord is another male? Orc by the looks of it.
Thomas Adams
next VC LL is Isabella, as her voice is in the files
Benjamin Bell
It can be fun, but for my taste the AI is really too stupid. Just put your units in a straight line and you will win. The AI will run towards you in a messy "formation" while they get shot. If they reach you they will fire one or two volleys (that aren't effective since the AI in incapable of forming a straight firing line) before the charge into melee combat.
Blake Hall
The who of the what would be mad about what now?
Easton Harris
new Orc LL is Wurzzag btw
Andrew Clark
>Autoresolver now deals less damage to high quality units (e.g. Slayers) in standard battle situations and deals more to low quality units.
FUCK YEAH!
>Subculture targeting missions are now always cancelled when the targeted subculture is destroyed.
This better fix grudges or there will be a grudging.
>Negative or neutral innate traits are now less likely to appear when recruiting a new Lord or Hero.
There's another mod I'll need to switch around.
>Reduced the rank requirement of the grudge to rank up a Master Engineer from 15 to 10.
Thaaank fuck.
Bentley Carter
There's a massive thread on the forums about there not being any female lords.
Anthony Collins
Not even sure this game is on the feminist's radar. I wouldn't mind a qt female LL desu.
Parker Russell
Do orcs even have a gender? I thought they came from spores and didn't reproduce sexually
Chase Wood
But Orcs reproduce asexually...
Jaxon Taylor
>Goblins are now more ticklish.
I forgot that tickling was a fetish. That google search pulled up a bit more then I expected.
Thomas Martin
>buff to Marauder Horsemen and Hounds of all things
Thank you CA, for making defending against Norscan scum even more of a pain in the ass.
Luis Rogers
just fyi FLC 1: Blood Knights FLC 2/3: New Wizard+Lore for Empire FLC 4: New VC LL (Isabella/Vlad/Wallach) FLC 5/6: New Wizard+Lore for Empire FLC 7: New Orc LL (Wurzzag) FLC 8/9: New Race (Brets/Wood Elves) + new Lore FLC 9: Master Engineer for Empire
Jayden Davis
Yeah but the point is they wasted this opportunity for diversity and added another testosterone fueled man.
Ayden Rodriguez
I guess I should be thankful to never have gone there, then.
Joshua Parker
>Isabella/Vlad/Wallach >Not Krell >Race FreeLC >Not Bretonnia >Even thinking Wood Elves when the whole concept of Campaign Packs for the game was built for them.
Juan Morgan
wow they look shit. just COPY THE FUCKING MODELS CA your design team are so fuckign incompetent. Also Blood Knights are the colour of blood, not just bright red and with battered rusting armour.
Angel Hall
You need to lower your tone right now
Nathaniel Long
It would be nicer if FreeLC slot isn't Bret. We already have half of them and a full new race would be more content to get for free.
Hounds buff is a speed buff which isn't very impactful when defending against them as they just get where they are going to get anyway. Where it's huge is letting Chaos Warrior campaigns counter Horseman more directly.
Marauder Horseman's offense was shit and ignorable. They are a terrible unit. AI armies need to run a lower count of them. Multiplayer and campaign chaos both needed them buffed.
Aaron Mitchell
>just COPY THE FUCKING MODELS CA
Uh...they did?
Matthew Myers
Better than Radious, so who gives a shit.
Caleb Morales
>bright red Behold the effects of spectral lighting in a game engine. Please note the darker areas further from the camera.
Jaxson Thomas
Radious didn't even made the Blood Knights mod
Landon Wood
IS THAT FUCKING OFFICIAL BLOOD KNIGHT DLC I SEE?!??!
Carter Reed
Brets are already playable in the MP. So having them as a paid DLC would be rather dumb since they will just be adding on to the roster and implementing all the campaign features. Doesn't make sense to have customers pay for something they have access to already rather than something completely new. On the same note you'd rather sell the completely new thing because more people will want to buy it.
Lucas Parker
They literally look the same you batshit fuckball. Maybe the digital models reflect light differently, but those models look like they are just lighter and darker shades of red.
Levi Powell
Nah its FreeLC.
Brandon Scott
That's exactly what they did with Chaos Warriors though. They just got more units when you bought them.
Carson Cox
>They are a terrible unit
I know. They are also terrible fucking annoying to deal with, and buffing them will just make it even stupider.
Based. But I thought the Blood Knights hated Manfred Von Carstein? Why would they join his faction?
Robert Roberts
Without the Chaos dlc you cannot select them in any capacity. The roster is just larger than the AI would have access to in vanilla.
Henry Wood
Let the world burn
Nathan Robinson
Youse asking the wrong guy hombre. Probably because its a video game.
Juan Bennett
>those greenskin nerfs
rev up those... wolf chariots?
Kayden Taylor
He made blood knights.
Asher Nguyen
nah, he just got permission to use em
Joseph Thomas
々?
Jordan Evans
No he got permission to use someone else's mod in his mod. He didn't make that unit. That's why it actually fits in the lore.
Cooper Gutierrez
my mistake.
Better than that shitty mod then.
Jeremiah Scott
...
Chase James
Nah that unit still isn't going to be worth anthing. I really don't understand the nerf to gobbo archers or spider riders but I usually ran orc arrer boyz or savage and never took anything short of a boar boy. I'm happy all trolls go a buff (GS, Chaos, Chaos Armored)
Isaac Lee
Trolls and chariots now viable, but at what cost.
Wyatt Peterson
Gather the men
Christian Edwards
Campaign buff to not-orcs I feel. Orc AI tend to get huge gobbo stacks and the sheer quantity of fire can get more impactful then you'd expect. They also tend use the spider riders a lot and that's the main gobbo archer unit with armor piercing damage.
Connor Martinez
Yes, they hate him - but he's the Carstein heir, and they're the Carstein family. They'll have no problems under Vlad/Isabella, IMHO.
Christopher Parker
Is the Black Coach not absolute garbage anymore?
Chase Edwards
I dont't know what keeps me more from enjoying M2: The fact that I'm new to the game or the horrible camera controls
Joseph Sullivan
>Autoresolver now deals less damage to high quality units (e.g. Slayers) in standard battle situations and deals more to low quality units
Andrew Adams
you switched them to the wasd-scheme, right?
Cameron Williams
Slayers also only take 1 turn to recruit and don't get knocked down as much. They might be worth using, now.
Jaxon Miller
What faction?
Kevin Reyes
Every time I go back to old games I gotta change controls to be more like modern total war.
Levi Bennett
How are they not nerfing demigryph knights and Beaquis into the ground?
