Luis Butler
People like to shit on Rome 2, but I still consider that Emperor's Edition with Divide et Impera is one of the finest Total War experience.
>Start up Warhams cause finally gonna start a Mousillon campaign with that nice user's overhaul for them >Notice the faction select on grand campaign is all fucked up, most of the normal groups are now gone >"Uh okay, well let's try anyway" >Takes a century to load in >Immediately, Red Duke looks weird and fucked up >Kemmler is there >"What's this Wight lord guy" >Krell is suddenly around
Turns out the fucking faction unlocker had some big weird update that messed all sorts of shit up trying to make everything weird and unique. Goddammit I just wanna play the smaller groups.
Alexander Hill
just finished downloading fots, any must have mods I should have before I start to play it?
Lincoln Gomez
>Gobbo Archers
Asher Garcia
This makes me wanna play an Azhag game
Landon Walker
Still better looking that Rome or Med 2.
Adrian Flores
By ze Lady!
Hudson Richardson
No. FotS is pretty much perfect vanilla.
Jason Reed
>Modder going out his way to add unnecessary small stuff to his mod even when there are better mods for said stuff. >Whole mod becomes a mess
Every time.
Luis White
>ears not visible
you just know she has those pointy welf lobes and she doesn't want her harem of magical honor-obsessed virgins to find out
Adrian Adams
It isn't though. Those games had the option for minimal UI like the first games so they weren't as offensive. Half your screen is taken up by that ugly tablet interface.
Dylan Robinson
I hate the Brettonnians so much.
Aaron Reyes
Dont they know they worship an elf?
Andrew Barnes
What mod? I want to say Broken Crescent but it doesn't really look like it.
Just bought Rome 2 on Steam sale. Should I get Rome 1 too? What about Shogun, Empire, or Attila?
Elijah Harris
It only gets an extra row of cards when you're controlling armies bigger than 20 units, something that the older games didn't have to deal with, unless you're playing on some potato resolution. If you're that triggered just untick the large armies box.
Austin Fisher
Hopefully never. Unless they included part of Korea and Okinawa. Honestly East Asia could be cool.
They would need to do stylized art and stuff though. That's pretty much 90 percent of the reason S2's looks hold up to some of the newer TWs.
Jayden Parker
You should play the game first
Nolan Martinez
Or I could play a TW game not designed by monkeys that doesn't make unit cards take half of the screen.
Carson Price
Shogun 2 is great fun and fall of the samurai is too
Christopher Powell
Why does warhammer look so bad, like really empire looks better. everything looks so muddy. I hope they update this in the next game.
Bentley Davis
>I also want them to use something like the TWW legendary lord system with "quest" battles in it Please kill yourself.
Jeremiah Richardson
Feel free to play 40 units battles in R1 whenever you like user
Easton Howard
Based
Easton Reed
I'll feel free to play 40 unit battles in any game that supports it but Rome 2 because it's a piece of shit.
Anthony Scott
Well, I just realized the quest battle thing would make little sense(considering the circumstances of the historical battles).
Having the legendary daimyos have more character is fine though.
Juan Watson
satsuma chosu tsu saga or tosa?
Jace Bailey
Good for you
Benjamin Adams
choshu
Eli Wood
Tosa
Jayden Turner
>empire looks better
Come on now. Empire textures are pretty bad. The faces have no emotion and so on.
Andrew Morgan
Indeed, still think Shogun 2 has the best aesthetics among the newer TW games. It's kinda shame we never got an Imjin War expansion for S2. Oh come on, stop being such a pansy. LL system would translate just fine into a Shogun game.
Luke Morales
Choshu for pic related
Parker Campbell
Speak English you slant-eyed Jap
Liam Collins
>Warhammer DLC not on sale
Alexander Wright
Any mods that give the ruin dweller trait to every leader yet?
Xavier Thompson
>units cards with the same size as vanilla rome means the game is bad Is this what autism looks like?
Tyler Morales
No it wouldn't fuck off. The last think Shogun needs is more magic ability bullshit.
Julian Walker
One thing looks certain to me: with the amount of work CA put into the magic system, it's seems unprobable they will abandon the system in the next setting. So what will this setting be, so it can at least emulate the Warhammer magic system?
Hudson Carter
Someone reshop this to be more accurate with units and all
Asher Russell
It would and you know it. Hopefully when CA does the next historic title they will use the LL system from WH.
Kevin Miller
This should become a pasta.
Tyler Cox
Unit cards didn't take half the fucking screen in Rome vanilla or otherwise. Minimal UI was a setting you could toggle.
Jayden Bell
...
Evan Martin
the ship battles look really good.
Jeremiah Davis
Guess I'm not buying Beastmemes.
Brayden Evans
>wait for Christmas sale for Warhammer >hoping to nab the base game and at least some of the DLC >Christmas sale comes around >"25% off on base game" >no DLC sale
F-Fine, I'll just g-go back to Attila and my Paradox games, then.
Josiah Smith
Is Age of Charlesman worth 3 buckaroos?
Landon Long
lay on me the dankest unit composition for Karl's new army
Bentley Allen
They stripped out the siege escalation, dynamic fire, unwalled settlement, and townsfolk mechanics from Attila to Warhammer. Even if you're memeing they'll probably reuse magic spells for things like Greek fire.
No it wouldn't it would be more pseudo RPG bullshit. At least there's already two good shogun games they can't retroactively shit up.
Joshua Peterson
yes
Ryan Davis
Got it today and having lots of fun THE BLOOD FOR DA. BLOOD GOD Played both and Rome 1 yesterday, the original is still superior, especially as the unit cards are all funky I have awoken in memium
Cooper Smith
Honestly worth more than 3 bucks, so be sure to grab it.
Robert Jackson
That's a perfectly adequate corporate mindset. Don't flush spent assets down the drain. I'd be very surprised if the next setting would be something that couldn't work with LL and magic.
Zachary Cruz
EVERYBODY SPAM CA ON TWITTER MAKE DLC SALES
Chase Powell
19 steamy wheelies that's steamtanks in the queens english
Ian Reyes
19 steam tanks, you can afford it.
Josiah Baker
is elves not having any retinue other than banners a bug, or a "feature"?
