IF OUR DAIMYO IS TO BECOME SHOGUN
MILITARY RULER OF ALL JAPAN
My general chose the perfect location to battle the enemy
...
Total War hasn't had decent battle maps since Napoleon
They did a good job with a lot of the custom maps in TWW.
The random maps(and every map) could be bigger though.
Napoleon is the only tw title that actually had nice maps, all the other games before and after have trash ma[s
...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH ROME
>They did a good job with a lot of the custom maps in TWW.
Yes, they are cool as fuck, if only the interesting parts were IN the map and not outside the bounds
...
what faction should I do a horde campaign with in attila
not the white huns
I was surprised to find that thing actually had rules in an 8th edition supplement.
>5 organ guns
>racks of bombs
alamans
tanooks
this is also a thing from the time of legends section. it actually has a model too buts it forgeworld and i dont know if they're allowed to use that sort of stuff in tw
their 'food only from settlement battles' mechanic makes me... not want to play them
its pretty easy desu, it actually makes it easier to roll out extremely strong stacks as you don't have to build food shit
yeah but I plan on never settling
Vandals for sacking goodness
Delicious downhill charge
It feels like CA would add that just for the LotR factor. Would be a neat "addition" to the marauders.
yeah, thats how I played them too
>Oh man this map looks coo-
>annnnnnd its just a blank map with a good background
This is fine
Playing Seleucids here
Are Eastern buildings like stable, or satrap palace really worth building? worth building
Because CA knows the AI would shit the bed hard on any map that wasn't an empty square. That's how bad it's gotten, they have to keep stripping away features because fuck making the AI competent in any capacity.
Why do you think they neutered sieges?
Yeah I know, If I see a siege with more men than me I just go "welp time to cheese the AI".
...
Why? That makes it even more boring. Why not do a proper siege assault? It's not that hard. Just don't use ladders.
What mods do you guys have installed for whatever TW you're currently playing?
Playing:
>Warhammer
Mods:
>Quest items unlock instantly
>AI Heroes can't assassinate lords
Quest battles and their prerequisites suck especially after you've already played them.
>playing Volkmar
>unlock quest chain for his staff
>have to go to war and sack two Kislev settlements
Fuck off, that's idiotic.
>blank map
A lot of the custom maps have strategic locations though. Like big hills or small pathways. You want them to put a big castle in the middle of a normal battle map?
I use better AI recruitment mods if they are available. I use some reskins if they look way better and more realistic than vanilla.
Not him, but no I want maps with ruined villages in the middle of them, or bridge maps or river crossings or anything other than GRASS/FLAT GRASS/HILLS TREES/HILLS SNOW/TREES.
>ruined villages in the middle of them
That doesn't really add that much when you just fight around them. There are some custom maps and random maps with buildings in the middle of the map. In Shogun 2 also.
>bridge maps or river crossings
Yeah, that's definitely something they should add to random maps. Some custom maps have rivers though.
I want to be dominated by a best elf!
Playing Medieval 2 with the Deus lo Vult v6.3 mod installed
Pretty relaxing experience
Sadly the AI starts with full stack garrisons from turn 0/1
If I make peace with a faction I have a grudge with, does it get aborted or does it remain stuck in my ass forever?
>Stacking academies in every province capital
>Mfw all technologies researched by year 440

I miss that unit flashing feature so much
>all those PAVEES CROSSBOMEN
yeah you're actually cancer

Thank you user, you're a good man.
Thanks
But I dont have much choice in what I can recruit in terms of unit variety
All I can recruit are these Crossbowmen and Italian Town Militia
That one unit of cav I got is the one I started with and only now I can recruit Templar units thanks to the chapter house event
I cant even get any decent Mercenaries
>I miss that unit flashing feature so much
??? it's in all the new games too
Have there ever been a case of dwarfs fighting dwarfs in warhammer lore?
They have internal disputes that's for sure. MUH CLAN HONOUR
sure sure, but actual war or fighting ever? Because if not, that shouldve been a feature of their campaign
it doesn't work anywhere near as well, I never bother using it
Small clashes over muh grudges but never an all out war
Is there any chance that Nippon or Cathy will feature in future games in total war warhammer?
If so how would you imagine their rosters would look like?
I know Nippon is basically Samurai and you could copy paste an army from Shogun total war in with a few mystical stuff from Japanese legend but what would they do for Cathy?
Sure, they're just not big wars. Basically there might be battles here and there over grudges and shit, but never something big enough to record in history books (unless the Book of Grudges counts as history).
Basically, they fight enough that tabletop player could justify doing a dwarf vs dwarf battle but not enough to change the lore in any meaningful way.
1.) Very small considering there was never an official release of any of those factions. Very little is written about them aside from some side shit for Skaven/Nippon and Grimgor wrecking Cathay in the end times for some reason
2.) A lot of OC based on their appropriate folklore, there are fan-made books for those factions, I'm not familiar with whats in them
3.) There is a lot of creative freedom aside from Samurai and Ronin for Nippon
Very unlikely since they haven't ever had models or rules for them, and nippon/cathay are outside the scope of the map even with expansions.
The only non main faction I could see possibly getting an army is Kislev, because they're in the old world and in a pretty active region of it, and have enough background that it would be possible to make an army out what's there.
Here is a question for you, Frenk.
If god, as you say, is the father of Isa and wills you to take Jerusalem. Then why did you lose it?
Someone recommend me Attila mods that aren't FotE and Europa Perdita.
>Facing three stacks of norsca with one of mine on the Underway.
>They're a lot but I have a lot of elite troops so I'm sure I can win if I set a good defensive position.
>It's the map for the Thundering Falls, so I set up on the hill on my side of the map.
>Alright, this looks goo- wait.
>One of the stacks is going to deploy right behind me.
What is this BULLSHIT. They didn't even surround me in the campaign map, they were all coming from the same direction.
Post turks removal
It's pretty safe to say that no, Cathay/Ind/Nippon/South Landers et al. wont be included under any circumstances. They have no models, no rules and barely if any substantial lore written about them. They exist as lazy map padding from GW.
There are some fan (read: garbage) rule books for them that are cringy as you might expect. But yeah, ain't ever gonna happen. We'll be lucky if we get Kislev or a Southern Realm faction playable. And they actually have models and lore.
When did Epirus become Turk?
all unreleased, just get the AoC political terms something something mod and thats it
>Shitting on Epirus
Fuck you.
...
Every screen I see a screen of this mod units have ridiculous kill counts with little damage done to them. This one not even being close to some others posted here.
So CA wrote a status blog back in December and said that after the Old World Edition dropped they were going to start work on sequel DLC, specifically the hilariously euphemistic "EARLY ADOPTER BONUS". They've acknowledged before that Warriors of Chaos was a fuck up on their part and they say they'll do better next time.
What does doing better look like to you?
Being a TT game every faction has reasons to fight one another.
Preorder bonus probably won't be a big faction and will be something like dogs of war or an army painter
DeI is incredibly easy, I am not even sure why, its partially due to AI not knowing how to flank with archers and thus dealing no damage with them, but that can't be all of it
also its the morale system they use

>HOW DARE CA GIVE PEOPLE WHO BUY THE GAME AT FULL PRICE AT RELEASE WHEN IT MATTERS A BONUS!!!
I bet you're the type of scum that buys games on sales and still have the nerve to complain.
It's because infantry do no damage and end up being a punching bag for your cavalry. It astounds me that /twg/ can pan radious for being too easy and then go on to praise DEI.
Age of Vikings
>dogs of war
Two problems with this. The first being Dogs of War were removed after 6th ED, so they don't exist anymore. And second fuck mercenaries.
And if we can't get Avatar Conquest I seriously doubt we'll ever see an army painter.
>On the future side, there’s a lot of discussions being had and scheduling being done around our plans for the second WARHAMMER game’s DLC, Free-LC and not to mention the early-adopter bonus, which will be one of the next things the team moves on to as we get into next year.
Wat
I just find the nomenclature funny. EARLY ADOPTER BONUS sounds like market tested nu-speak, just call it what it is, Pre-Order DLC.
We might be getting avatar conquest in the next game. I know it's fashionable to be cynical but there hasn't been too much indication either way of what CA will put in the next game aside from 4 more races plus map expansion.
...
Calling it preorder dlc would be a misnomer, as you can get it without ever preordering.
Early adopter could very well mean you still get it if you buy it early (duh), like woc, so you still have time to check ebin steam reviews
Getting chaos for free during the week after release was good enough. Enough time to do research on the game before buying without losing any bonuses.
Post screenshots that you have taken that you like
...
Wait wait, now I'm confused. Wasn't there a Polish article floating around a while back about how the sequel was getting pushed back to 2018? Why would they already be starting on pre-order shit if the game is still a year or so out?

strapping a living creature to an artillery projectile would add worthless weight and fuck its already abysmal aerodynamics thus reducing its range without any tangible benefits.

>>fantasy vs history
I wasn't going for that, but whatever.
What so good about them? The AI units just does whatever they want and the unit responsiveness is the worst.
do you think burning ungors smell like burnt flesh or cooked steak?
