Avatar campaign conquest: regional occupation

Liam Jenkins
Way too costly for something that only 5% of their audience plays.
Leo Lee
feel like warhammer and it's expansions are gonna be Rome 2 and Attila/AoC. First game is really bad/cash cow try to improve it via updates. next Game improves upon the first one in almost every way and become amazing. does /twg/ agree?
Daniel Russell
Typical cornercutting as expected of CA. Their million dollar seller filled to the brim with DLC that's selling like hotcakes doesn't have the luxury of time or budget for effort to be put into it.
Christopher White
The AI loves to raze and the countless Roman civil wars and separatism fucked those regions over.
Michael Thomas
Guinea pig
A cash cow is from something established and will clearly do well based on some pedigree while Warhams was way more of a risk given the companies history. Also kind of a proof of concept of a lot of changes necessary to the TW structure in order to make it work.
Subsequent DLC's have been gettting better and better so I would imagine that the expansions will continue that trend.
Ryder Roberts
Which Total War offers most variety in tactics?
Leo Lewis
Rome 1
William Morgan
I miss the old Warhammer lore, when Bretonnia was dominate against the Empire, who were on the verge of being conquered by those noble grail knights.
Julian Ward
>loved warhammer so far >expansions will be even better
fuck yes I will agree with this if it becomes true
Nathan Hall
What I'm excited to see is if the whole expansions plugging together thing really works and imagining what could be done with future TWs.
Owen Gonzalez
Image how long the fucking load times will be when every race is added to the game.
Colton Howard
>tfw I hope CA figures something out to make load times less ass
I guarantee they won't though.
Sebastian Turner
Warhammer is already a great title.
Anthony Nelson
You have a very skewed view. 1 million sales is not that much for a company with hundreds of employees and while dlc sales may be good for the series, you better believe they are in the tens of thousands at best.
Hudson Miller
Plenty of time for you to save up $40 for a solid state drive.
Daniel Jackson
what is the point of aspiring champions
Jordan Johnson
They buff Marauder troops, and wreck (as in absolutely destroy) weak infantry lines. There pretty cost efficient too.)
Ethan Allen
>Gobbo Archers
Brandon Hill
Are far superior to Orc Arrer Boyz. Also, when is CA adding the Bloody Sun Boyz subfaction?
Mason Wright
This, Aspiring champions are great against most non elite infantry. And they'll hold the line against a lot of other stuff just the same.
how da fuck do I play Empire? My line of halberds never holds for long enough and micro-ing guns is a pain and I hate it.
Pike units when?
Isaac Hill
Halberds are shit vs anything that isnt large.
Jose Davis
Halberds aren't supposed to hold the line. They're supposed to be mobile rapid response units that stab giant monsters in the butt.
Zachary Cooper
1 general. 19 steam tanks.
Mason Stewart
But shield and spears are so boring...
PIKES WHEN!!!!!
Matthew Russell
Place ya bets, boys and girls

So Empire and vamps are getting a new hero unit?
Lucas Robinson
It's Chaos, what are you expecting? Sleep overs and Kumbayas?
Jaxon Edwards

how'd you manage winning so good?
Cooper Richardson
Made them walk to me, had the high ground, charged downhill, had a big dick.
Ayden Brown
Probably got the charge.
Camden Barnes
>when Bretonnia was dominate against the Empire, who were on the verge of being conquered by those noble grail knights
Shit that never happened/10
Lincoln Barnes
How do I deploy volleyguns when I don't have a hill?
Nathan Gomez
center of your battle line or on the flanks
you could also keep them behind your main force and then move them behind the enemy on the flank to hit them from the back
William Brooks
Which of the Dwarf ranger units are most efficient/useful?
Adrian Roberts
What mods you got senpai
Chase Jenkins
It was true in earlier editions.

>Playing Rome 1, be newfag >The Gallic Faction Heir lays siege on a settlement I just moved into >he's got 1200 men with him What he didn't know is that in addition to the 500 in the settlement, I have another 500 just outside waiting to ambush >atttack him, forcing him to split his army between the force I'm controlling and the reinforcements from the settlement Ended up completely routing him, he left with 400 men while I lost 150, mostly because the friendly AI isn't the greatest. >tfw advancing into Gallic territories, the Gauls ask for a ceasefire >make them give me the town I was about to siege >The Gallic Heir attacks me again with 500 men, only to leave with 200 I've just reached the new territory I was going after, and it's only defenses are this Gaul shit and his 180 men. Can't wait to finally end this shitter after him fucking with me for so long.
pic unrelated from another battle I had, this time with a pack of rebels sitting outside that same city the Gauls tried to siege. He was the last barbarian on the field at this time.
I love this game, cant wait to move onto some of the newer entries. >tfw got everything from Rome to Rome II
Juan Bennett
>not getting medieval 1 pleb
Julian Clark
none
Sebastian Evans
pleb patricians only play shogun 1
Austin Lopez
Medieval 1 is a straight upgrade mechanically. I'm pretty sure you can even get a mod to play Shogun in Medieval.
Noah Turner
empire 2 when
Nathaniel Sullivan
Glad you're having fun, user. It's one hell of a fun series.
Juan James
Well, if you have belegar with a master engineer (and runelords) you can turn all of the ranger units into absolute rape machines, but for other LLs just stick with the ones with Great weapons. IN my opinion at least.
Leo Thomas
>playing chaos this has convinced me to get a mod that disables hostile agent actions desu lads
Eli Cooper
War weariness is a great idea, whats dumb is that it accrues even while you are winning. Shit should only apply while bad stuff is happening. You literally get punished for winning battles continuously.
Jonathan Diaz
You talking about in AoC? Because I've only seen it increase when I lose battles.
Ryder Bell

Caleb Lewis
I am an idiot, I added it to the regular attila, it really fucks up a WRE campaign, nvm im a mong.

Brandon Ross
Does anyone else have this bug where it seems that rank 3 of perks for Legendary Lords don't work? I can get a +10% HP Boost for rank 2 but rank 3 still gives only the rank 2 shit for it.
Austin Edwards
So im thinking about getting Attila. Do you guys recommend it? I know it's a basic improvement over Rome two, but how much is it improved? Should I get warhammer or shogun instead?
Also I don't like the warhammer setting, so it's unlikely I'll get it.
Angel James
Mortors vs rockets, which is most cost effective?
Camden Moore
hay
Austin Scott
I'VE BECOME SO NUMB
Grayson Nelson
Give me the rundown on Empire's mages senpai. Are they worth it?
Joseph Howard
>mortar + can lob bombs over battlelines into the enemys back - slow rate of fire >rockets + barrages disrupt enemy lines - linear firing arc and spread
both have their uses, rockets are not a direct upgrade of mortars
Cooper Powell
So I just picked the "easy" Shogunate faction and notice I start with traditional armies. Should I be using them or shift to modern armies right away?
Alexander Ramirez
Autism speaks.
David Thompson
Shogun + FotS is better all around, Attila if you like Rome and Charlie.
Juan Nguyen
Get it now whilst it's on sale if you want it. The game + all the DLC is around £20/$25/€24.
It's pretty good, it brings back some of the "complex" elements of Total War games including a lot of micro management, but there's definitely a tonne of content there. Additionally, it's got some really promising medieval mods coming up, so check steam workshop and the mod sites to see what piques your interest.
Warhammer on the other hand is a unique experience, it's a lot simpler than other total war in its' management aspect, but there's such a masive change on the battlefield due to all the races of the warhammer factions, and the DLC policy is hit-and-miss. I'd wait for Total Warhammer to become more of a sale item if you're not that interested, when you get get all the game and the DLC for cheap, until then Attila would do you fine.
Jason Bennett
Immediately upgrading is a common mistake. Traditional infantry, even the cheapest and shittiest levy, will reliably win in melee 100% of the time. It's just a case of getting them in to the fight before they're shot full of holes.
Also bow units actually outrange guns and are arguably even more lethal.
Hudson Myers
O-oh... ok user...
Jayden Turner
Alright Attila it is. It would be nice to make Rome great again. Though I'll probably just play the medieval mods and pretend it's medieval 3
Colton Murphy
It's a lot better than warhammer
Christian Lee
Who /comfy/ up in here
Ian Mitchell
>hit-and-miss you sure about that? last few DLC seem to be pretty good, along with the new one not looking to be too bad either. At this rate, people who just bash on Warhammer for its 'dlc policy' are just ignorant
Bentley Johnson
Jesus that looks super cozy. All you need is a cat or dog at the end of the bed
Asher Lewis
How do you see shit and how do you use a mouse without fucking up half the time?
Kayden Scott
approximately how long do you think it will take for wood elves to go on sale after it releases
Brayden Smith
WAAAGH!!
Angel Jackson
The older titles have a lot of polish to them, they're still extremely fun to play. But man are you gonna have a blast when you get to Shogun 2.
Hudson Morgan
In that case, what should my army builds look like at the beginning? Apparently I'm allowed extra yugekitai units which just seem like Gallic Hunters from R2.
