Anyone played the Master of Strategy mod for Shogun 2? It's comfy as fuck but I feel like you gotta plan real good or else you're gunna get fucked and I don't think I've done that well.
>there won't be a historic total war for a few more years AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH /TWG/

It is now November. An unbidden chill steals over the forest. The boughs lie heavy with frost, condemned to an early winter. Gaurach-Dúin in the tongue of the Asrai, it is a time of stillness and a time of dread. The fey spirits to whom the protection and provision of the Asrai is entrusted are consigned to an unshakable somnolence, unable to fulfill their sacred trust. The Wood Elves, deprived of their sturdiest companions, are forced to toil for themselves. It is the final horror. Some kinbands retreat deep into the roots of the wood, unable to countenance debasing labor and the necessity of work. In the halls beneath the Oak of Ages, The Sisters of Twilight nestle close to one another. Many are the Asrai who join their Dryad sisters in pursuit of warmth and the long sleep that stretches across seasons.
But the forest has need of its guardians, and will not abide dereliction of duty. Naieth preaches dire auguries in the early coming of the Season of Stillness. To those who have known Gorposting, Goblins and embarrassing rats, a still greater terror lurks. A great sorcery wrought in rain-cursed Albion will thrust the Asrai to the fore of the outside world's unsightly struggles and toil; The strange world of wageslavery can be ignored no longer.
Wood Elves Soon.

I want to start playing Medieval 2 campaign again but I don't want to play vanilla. I heard stainless steel is good but I don't know any others. Are the any mods for better textures or more units?
Adrian Gray
Try stainless steel, it's very good
Brayden Green
I'd really want to know what LLs the WElves will get.
Hoping for the following ones:
>Orion (As faction leader and for good reason) >Ariel (What's the King in The Woods without his waifu?) >Durthu (Because he was since forever in Athel Loren even before the HElve colonists moved in and became WElves)
DLC LLs: >Naestra and Aranah (Though how they make the whole fluffy thing with "if one dies and the other still lives then the slayed one comes back to life" is a big question for me) >Drycha (Face it, you want the cunt Dryad)
Noah Davis
We won't get both the Sisters of Twilight and Ariel. Which is another way of saying we won't get Ariel, because one choice has rules in the tabletop, interesting items for quests, and a choice of flashy mounts, while the other doesn't.
We'll be lucky if we get three LLs off the bat. I'd really like to see Durthu. Drycha might come with an update that adds branchwraiths.

Reminder that there's no need to argue over who the old friend is
Charles Hill
so any neat performance boosts, Im sad the game runs like buts and wondering if anyone has discovered anything in the duration the games been out
Dominic Campbell
Threadly reminder that the following are rightful Asur clay, and therefore rightful Asrai clay so from now on please refer to them with their correct names. Dietershafen - Athel Toralien Marienburg - Sith Rionnasc Altdorf - Kor Vanaeth Talabheim - Athel Maraya Kislev - Athel Numiel L'Anguille - Tor Alessi Thank you
Robert Morris
>runs like buts I've recently played some Shogun 2 again and it looks way worse and has partially worse performance than Warhammer. It is well optimized, but it does require beefy hardware. There won't be any magical performance boosts.
Jose Perry
Who knows?
If they managed to turn Helman Ghorst into an interesting and fun LL, then they can do the same with Ariel (yet that would require some work on it).
Also she had rules and a model, and has FIVE items, so she definitively counts.
And yes, now I'll use the link to the Warhammer Fan Wiki because the items are not written down on Lexicanum.
Believe me, I'd want him so badly that I'd turn Tzeentchian and manipulate space/time/dimension to make it happen...only for Tzeentch to go full NO FUN ALLOWED and blow my hopes away.
>THIS NIGGA ELF
Wait for Legendary Heroes and for Gotrek and Felix. There was a good reason that Teclis didn't want to rustle Gotrek's jimmies.
Juan Watson
Dietershafen is Archaon's birthplace though I recall Erengrad has a High Elf colony.
Levi Allen
They announced that WE arent until the second expansion.
Ethan Cox
So we'll have to wait a bit longer.
Josiah Robinson
I was going by pre war of vengance elf colony locations. All the ones I named coincide with their Empire/Bretonnia equivalents.
Wyatt Walker
Thats some seriously dusty rules you are referncing. Most of them like the Oak of Ages and the Wand of Wych Elm got repurposed to different things in the multiple subsequent editions of the game where she didn't have rules. (The same editions from which we get the Sisters of Twilight, who are her representatives on the field of battle.)
Since we live in a Ghorst and Alberich world anything could happen, but it's not the safe bet.
Brody Wilson
Like I said...WHO KNOWS?
Maybe CA will surprise us?
For now WE WAIT.

What they actually announced was that it'd be here before christmas.

Playing Charlemagne right now. Is there any reason to make your settlements courts instead of churches? They have noe benefit compared to churches or trade cities.

I think courts get some special military building options or some economy building options.

This one goes out to all the wandering Grail Knights out there in service ze lady. No matter where you are in a lonely copse of trees sitting by the fire,exploring the Old World or in a cave filled with goblins and squigs...we're always thinking of you.
I don't know if you can see the changes that have come over me In these last few days I've been afraid that I might drift away So I've been telling old stories, singing songs, that make me think about where I come from That's the reason why I seem so far away today
CHORUS Let me tell you that I love you and I think about you all the time Bretonnia you're calling me and now I'm going home But if I should become a stranger you know that it would make me more than sad Bretonnia's been everything I've ever had
I have moved and I've kept on moving, proved the points that I needed proving Lost the friends that I needed losing, found others on the way I have tried and I've kept on trying, stolen dreams, yes there's no denying* I have traveled hard sometimes with conscience flying somewhere in the wind
CHORUS
Now I'm sitting here before the fire, the empty room the forest choir The flames that couldn't get any higher they've withered now they've gone But I'm steady thinking, my way is clear and I know what I will do tomorrow When the hands have shaken and the kisses flow then I will disappear
CHORUS -----------
Bretonnia you're calling me and now I'm goiiiiiiing home!
Tyler Gomez
Why does Age of Charlemagne feel so much better than the grand campaign?
Seriously, I think 90% of all my fights in Attila have been nothing but god damn city battles.
Owen Garcia
We're soon to defend Athel Loren from everyone in the confines of our very comfy forest whilst the world goes to shit.
Feels good.
Jordan Carter
- City Building is less frustrating and thought through. -Family System is less frustrating and thought through - Cavalry is weaker (thank fucking god) due to CA thinking it through for once - Timeframe vaguely reminds you of shit tier middle ages and satisfies your unsatiable hunger for medieval 3 - You have different cultural enemies at your border with most factions, instead of being surrounded by your own culture like in the grand camapign at the beginning. - Since the campaign is smaller you get to field good looking troops early on and can enjoy using them, while in the grand campaign you will mainly use guy with green shield and yellow tunic with sword for most of the beginning. And by the time you are able to recruit decent looking units the game becomes a slog in the campaignmap.
Don't get me wrong Attila is great but so frustrating at the same time.
Leo Clark
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH Reveal on the 17th? Release on the 1st? or Reveal on the 24th? Release on the 8th?
Logan Garcia
Reveal on the 1st, release on the 22nd
Luis Robinson
Sounds about right.
Hunter Russell
Don't tease me! They need leeway to apply any hotfixes before they all bugger off on their Christmas holidays. So no later than the first 2 weeks of December is the release date.
I suspect Waterfall2 is in fact a free Morghur beastmen LL with 3 new units.
Meant to add pic related to my first post.
Jordan Hall
Reveal on the 1st. Release on the 15th ;^)
Lucas Sanchez
It's more comfy, there's no Atilla out to get you and you aren't dreading the climate change events wiping out your empire.

Why not just play rome 2?
It's decent now.
Nolan Powell
>historical titles will be untouched I'm not seeing the contradiction. They're not going to touch historical titles. Simple.
Jason Price
see They specifically said the historical team is occupied with the DLC releases while the warhammer team produce expansion 2. Naval combat is pretty much confirmed so that will no doubt occupy a lot of time and we aren't sure if naval bombardment or amphibious maps will make it in.

There's 3 teams at CA, Warhammer, History and DLC.
The Warhammer team works on Warhammer, the History team on History and the DLC team on whatever the latest release is which means Warhammer right now

Seems about right really. It got some random elements to it which may make the game harder.
>Take rebel territories >Fortify Helmgart >Fend of any orc horde >Get friendly with Wissenland, bretonnian dukedoms and dwarfs >do first quest battle >Suprise attack Carroburg and peace out with Middenland immediately
You are pretty safe after that. Hopefully you can manage to ambush Marienburg's army outside their cities. Then you can get that nice cash from holding Marienburg.
You can also keep sacking the orc tribe nearby for easy levels.
Aiden James
Size, thickness, stability and usage.
James Powell
Not to mention the only factions that outright hate you are either on the northern edge of the map, in the Badlands, or in Sylvania. Everyone else is usually content to not fuck with you if you keep your army up, assuming you scrape the Beastmen off on Bretonnia or just kill them yourself before taking Marienburg.
Jack Murphy
I still sometimes think Marienburg can be a trap. You get loadsa dosh, but you also get skaeling fucking shits coming after you. I sometimes leave Marienburg alone as a shield to the north.
