/twg/ - Total War General

You should pay for it if you want it to work, you dirty pirate :)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH ROME

>paying for games

I bought the game and it doesn't even work.

Go figure.

>warhammer
>pirate
wat?

You should buy it again and support the devs :)

Total War

Anyone want a webm of priests preparing corpses for sky burial? There's no blood but not really SFW so if nobody's interested I won't post it.

Post it.

What are you, Latin American?

Voski bypass. You can even play MP.

Delete weird .pack files in the data directory and then verify integrity of cache.
I had infinite loading on S2 launch for the longest time and culprit was a messy steam update which invalidated certain pack files and replaced them with new ones. But it kept trying to load the fucked ones first and hanging at launch.

Who cares? Bumps the thread in this dead hour of the day.

Or Russian.

Damn, too big, it's 4mb.

Post it to /wsg/ and link the post here.

It's not the most SFW thing so I posted it in /gif/, here.

...

Damn, how do I link across boards?

...

thanks my friend

What would define weird .pack files?

G O B L I N S

No clue senpai, I think the offending files were just a generic pack1, pack2, pack3 back in Shogun 2.

Here is my vanilla installation of TWW, completely functioning.(well, only mod is the any unit as lord thing) And I have all DLC.
See if you have anything there that I don't and axe it.
Depending on your download speed just delete them all and verify integrity of cache.

Otherwise I dunno, maybe update your drivers and try DX11 if you're trying DX12 maybe.

Can't help you any further as I have to crash asleep right now. Good luck.

It was sloppy as hell, but that was the most fun I've had all week. I forgot to take screenshots, but I'm keeping the replay for sure.

Fucking love Ninjas

>Karl couldnt even beat a generic orc warboss without his "super sigmar mode" deus ex power up bullshit

>"combat" "Lord"

>has a super sigmar mode deus ex power up bullshit
>somehow not a combat lord

???

Now it doesn't boot up at all. Just title screen, flickers to blank screen. Nothing.

Literally tried everything at this point.

dumb animeposter

Franz is the brains of the operation, Deathclaw is the muscle.

>i'm karl, from france

what did he mean by this?

He's clearly American though.

Deathclaw wasn't in that fight, he was injured

Who /bully total war/ here?

Yeah, Franz by himself isn't the worst thing somebody could come across on a battlefield. But usually, Deathclaw and Franz are in the same place, and Deathclaw is appropriately named.

context of the pic?

>generic human
>"Combat"

>Unreliable
>Rebellious
>Opportunist
>Still wont betray the Sassykids

Why is Armenia such a fucking coward in every campaign?

>mfw Karl couldnt even beat Arcuckaon

"Emperor"

Is there any reason to use spears over swords in TWW?

>played attila for over 1000 hours
>bored of all other tw games too
>bannerlord never ever
>ck2 expansion will be some fantasy crap
>the guild 3 never ever

>literally nothing else interesting on the horizon
what the fuck

Nobody cares about boring histfag shit.

You are clearly wrong though, see

Spears usually have higher melee defense, and also have an anti-large bonus.

I don't hate total warhammer, I am just bored of it, already played it for 202 hours, there is nothing left to do in it

>i'm bored of warhammer, I want more humans vs human action

hmm

Get mods or try new factions

Nice picture

>i'm bored of warhammer, I want more humans vs human action
where did I say that? though it is true that I would prefer empire 2 or bronze age or age of discovery to anything in warhammer

I have played pretty much every faction in attila, only some of the samey barbarians are left, and all the large mods for attila are either unfinished or abandoned, and when it comes to earlier titles I've played all the major mods too

When do I get that shield m'lord? Is it made of wood or iron?

When did the Dutch split from the HRE?

What's a good way to counter waywatcher spam as empire?
I can spam cav to counter normal glade guard but between waywatchers having stupid high leadership AND fire on the move AND AP damage my cav just gets shot to shit before it can take rout them all.

5 fucking reiksguard gone from fucking archer units. I hate elves so goddamn much.

Imperial Destroyer for Empire?
NTW3 for Napoleon?
Age of Charlemagne?
Rise of the Samurai?
Coop?.

My cav don't usually have the issue, but I imagine artillery would be able to soften them up, if not outright kill them.

Thanks Atatürk, us Aussies rest a little easier but your country is currently the exact opposite of what you intended. Fuck erdogan.

Also gib back Constantinople.

Ambush

>Imperial Destroyer for Empire?
I don't like its changes like no dismounting, its really odd to be unable to get dragoons of their horses, I have played all other major mods though, imperial splendor, darthmod, minor factions revenge
>NTW3 for Napoleon?
I played through napoop campaign once and left it, the limited setting is why I strongly prefer empire
>Age of Charlemagne?
played a lombard, frank, danish, theme of sicily and saxon campaigns, the rest are nothing special
>Rise of the Samurai?
dropped instantly because its terribly boring
>Coop?.
literally 0 friends

>i don't hate warhammer but I am bored of it

you don't have to hate something to get bored of it

what the fuck

Normally I'd offer to be your friend and play co-op with you but you don't sound like a terribly fun guy to play with.

Where did I say that you hated it, hmm? You're doing the classic "I'm on your side" shilling.

>i love warhammer but you have to admit it's shit and history games are better!

You can't fool me.

Can you go be retarded somewhere else?

I'd be your friend. If you were Aussie.

I agree about imperial destroyer but the aesthetic and sound design are fantastic. The campaign map is great with several new factions, some emergent.brand new regions in America makes it worth it for me.

Goblins...

Dat autism tho

>If you were Aussie.
pretty fucking far from being an Aussie, though I appreciate the sentiment

Ping reasons.

Eivai ellenika;

More artillery is the solution against almost everything

>40 vs 40 battle
>Snipe the enemy generals with my cav since the enemy decided to leave them behind their main force
>Their whole army immediately starts wavering and routing
Is there a greater feel than this?

>try the same thing against the Danes in AoC sending in six(6) medium cavalry against their general
>the Danish general has barely any losses and my cav wavers and routes
>i'm left with zero cavalry throughout the battle

Is there a worse feeling than this?

>Danes
>cavalry
Stop cheating and flank with infantry like a real man

Fact: Ancient Africans discovered the secrets of industrialization centuries before white people did

>Misdirect army action effects can stack

>have 10 units of 300 men w/ 3 precursors each
>any army that tries to engage my main line literally has to absorb 9000 javelins first

>he thinks industrialization means combine harvestors.

>thanks to research improving ammo they now have 4 precursors each
>enemies have to run through 12000 javelins without getting hit in order to get in melee combat

user I can't find the reply chain but you have tried verifying content of cache through the steam ui?
updating gpu drivers(this is important)
if you are on win 10 as well try forcing dx11 instead of dx12

Do your precursors do any damage?

I WANT WARHAMMER FACTIONS IN ATTILA FOR FUCK'S SAKE

The game director from TW:Attila is in charge of the unannounced historical title. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Seems good

Good, Attila is the best modern total war.

Good. Attila is one of the strongest entries in the series.

Yeah that sounds cool

~beastmen~

whats the point of public order in warhammer if
a) it's never a threat as long as you have a garrison building
b) can never be used against the ai to undermine them and
c) confers no bonus for actually trying to max it out

like great power it seems entirely pointless

Tfw causing rebellions in ally territory so I can take it without having to betray my ally.

oh yes

On anything above easy that's literally impossible and the AI usually camp out their capital so the rebels always lose. Shit Warhammer doesn't even have agent actions like poison wells, or incite riots or anything.

Wow I'm just starting to realize how fucking cut down of a game TWW is.

>m-muh animation skeletons

>A)
It can still be a threat, garrisons just reduce the threat.
>B)
It can be used to undermine the AI, because half the time they can't hold their settlements against the rebels, which either respawns a faction or spawns a neutral faction that's hostile to everyone.
>C)
I got nothing. I guess to give more breathing room when it starts going down? Public order really only matters if it is about to hit or has hit -100.

Great power, on the other hand, only pushes a player to be more aggressive. Gotta love a -20 to relations with everyone on the map, in addition to whatever negatives you already had with them.
