>This map.

Neat.

Ay let me look at them legions.

Also does anybody know of any good Rome 1 torrent? I want access to mods. Steam just mess it up.

quick post screenshots from your campaign

...

Okay.

Haven't seen that before

I made some ideas for 3 Nomadic factions. Come witness my autism.

How would someone who's used to playing grand strategy games like CK2, EUIV, Victoria, etc get into the Total War series?

It will be a pain to remove bretonnia to actually win the campaign. I want to do it before the free dlc arrives.

I haven't heard from the wood elves and the greenskins are pretty crazy(as you can see on the mini-map.

At least I got done with my Hojo campaign. It felt good.

...

A battlemap editor!

Warhammer is truly the best tw game ever, right guys? :^)

>Warhammer is truly the best tw game ever, right guys? :^)

What has that to do with anything? Other total wars also got battle map editors.

>vanilla M2
"no"

Knife eared fucking shits

To be fair have you seen the shit people have made already they look amazing.

Fuck me why can't we have proper seiges and settlement battles looking like something from Vertmintide. I love that empire high middle age exaggerated architecture.
I can't find that famous painting with the tax collector in an empire looking city so this will suffice

By playing it?

TW is easy to get into and nowhere near as autistic as /gsg/. Its essentially just building up towns and raising/lowing taxes. Attila adds politics, and building up your provinces is more complicated as you have to deal with food, squalor and fertility. Thats about as difficult as TW gets. Otherwise just enjoy the battles.

>tfw this made me remember the stupid, but fun halo custom edition maps.

That nostalgia.

Chivalrous.

Well there's less artificial mechanics specifically made to make the hard more 'complex and time consuming'
The campaign map and diplomacy etc can't compete with eu4 but really its all about the battles, which are great.

btw ho4 is complete shit and eu4 has been going to shit the last 3 dlcs. don't even metion stellaris.

Sigmar wills it!

I led Sparta and dream of the 3rd greco-persian war, that dream died 30 turns ago.

Does the game balance the effectiveness of spells on the unit size you're using?

link some for us

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

All look really good in game

I want to be dominated by a best elf!

Watch CA put these in their x-packs or as part of a 'free update' with 'new and diversified battlemaps'

Kek. Somebody has been naughty.

They are already free and available what you on about.

I wish there was a way to ad these to campaign though, and they are adding custom quest battles so hopefully you can mess with units too.

That would be pretty cool, especially if they were added to the campaign map.

>add these to campaign
That's what I'm talking about

It would be but honestly it would be a lot better if we could just, you know, mod the campaign battlemaps ourselves.

>as part of a 'free update' with 'new and diversified battlemaps'

There is literally no way to paint this as a bad thing

You're DESPERATELY looking for shit to complain about and you can't even manage to do that right

Hello you cunt

You mean like Valve?

>there is literally no way to paint this as a bad thing
Besides the idea that I'd like the ability to do so myself?
And I didn't paint it as a bad thing. More is better, but I doubt they'll give credit to the modders. Even a general shoutout of "hey we appreciate the work you put in" would be great but I doubt it.

They said about opening up the tools further at a later date, perhaps we will eventually be able to use them in campaign.

Its a shame most the cool maps are quest battle, or custom battle exclusive as it is.

Im sick of Bjornling conclave for every Norcsa battle.

Hmmm
Do you reckon we'll get siege maps sometime or do they think that just ain't worth it?

Using any mods?

What happens to immobile siege weapons during an ambush anyway

The offical twitter and YouTube even gives shoutouts to the modders, stop trying to be mean about CA.

The amount of support this game has had really makes me hopeful for the next historical game.

>that message
>the mens you lost in that battle died in vain and only fed chaos more

spooky

Wish they were a bit faster with the patches, but whatever.

>trying to be mean
I'm literally not trying to be mean though

>modding in campaign maps
naaah, if anything CA will take the best maps from the community and learn what players want and integrate that into battle map design for Warhams 2

Big things they will learn: settlement maps, more diverse terrain features, more elevation and choke play

I really do hope so, but for custom battles we can currently replicate town battles by making barriers and custom spawn points for defenders.

If modders are able to find a way to ad them to the campaign map it would be possible to ad a number of different town battles to un-walled towns, which would be amazing.

Siege map editing is the number 2 addition people are begging for after campaign integration. So long as the map editor sees a lot of use, and I think it definitely will, then we will siege editing.

It was a strategic victory for me. They broke of the siege because they only had 3 hellcannons left.

>turn 2 sparta , athen and syracus all declare war on me
>macedon become my friend for some reason
>manage to take athen and begin to siege sparta while a fleet of syracus is coming for my capital

is my campaign doomed to be situation like that ?

Feel the crush!

Nah vanilla ice cream

They just sat there facing the same direction unable to fire at my forces trapping their calvary behind them

>tfw the battle advisor isn't a qt grill sucking your cock while giving battle report

I wish they would put these in the campaign

Of course strategically I'm still in the shit. It's certainly good that tactically I'm winning everything

Who has better infantry, franks or saxons?

Actually I've had quite a bit of luck using Stellaris as a gateway to convince people to give Paradox games a try. It's like the shallow end of the pool.

Try modding it. If you've had that though, chances are other people have too.

Any mod for Attila that changes name and flavour text of some buildings depending where you are?

I don't wanna have a Tanner or a Quarry in the middle of the damned desert

>Bendis' Chosen

Named after Brian Michael Bendis? The comic book writer?

Stellar is is what convinced they were not worth trying

They want some of it too it seems, this is going to be a laugh

Apparently not

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bendis

Starllaris is far from a gateway drug into paradox. It's just shit. Doesn't even play like the other games

and dont forget to charge only at the last moment so you dont get tired

What's wrong with a quarry in the desert?

Stellaris is interesting. It is indeed pure trash relatively speaking. But the chassis certainly shows promise.
Which is why it is so disappointing.
It actually has legitimately hard late game as well which is fairly unique to GS titles.

Franks, they also have better cav.

Hope that hill is enough to get them rolling and without rolling into my dudes, you fucked with the wrong veterans

I found the early game more interesting than the late game. It just gets so boring, and every playthrough is the exact same. Space monguls and OP ancient empires aren't exactly an interesting challenge.

Hoi4 is even worse, why did they fuck that up so bad.

...

Don't know. Spells seem rather weak on ultra. Feels like i would be better off with an extra greatsword unit over a battle mage but where would the fun in that be?

Is it at all possible to get access to the empire multiplayer campaign any more by any means?
Fucking stupid way to incorporate it

Great, this fucking army can't change stance to get home because of ???

Mods? Download a faction unlocker.

What happened?

For MP campaign?
Apparently they made some beta thing they gave out keys for a few years back instead of just making it an optional sign up through Steam

Rejoice! For a Knight of Bretonnia provides your shield.

Im pretty sure they still work.

All members just have to have the same mod list, and it works.

Its simple enough just go on steam workshop.

They no longer give out keys and you can't use duplicates, I've looked for keygens and uploaded versions but no luck

I thought you meant Warhammer Empire campaign my bad.

Oh yeah nah, they did MP for empire but then just fucked it about like the stupid cunts they are and made it a limited time sign up thing where you had to requisition keys from SEGA, even though steam literally has an opt in and out feature

G O B L I N S

In Attila it seems you can't make weapon and shield upgrades gold. Like my units can only get silver upgrades.

Is this correct?

can someone explain to me the difference between bretonia and empire strategeicly, aesthetically and ideologically?

I didn't even intend on ambushing these guys, good accident

They are the same

Great balls of fire...

Empire: Very intelligent, technologically advanced, people have freedom and choice, good real religion

Bretonia: Degenerate feudal system, retarded poor peasants, dont even have gunpower, fake religion, literally trash kingdom

...

>Quarry in the desert

Nothing wrong with a Quarry in the desert per say, however when I think of "Local Industry" in the middle of the damned desert a Quarry really isn't what I have in mind

What do you mean?
Empire Total War MP campaign?
Or The Empire in TWW, and play COOP as them? And you're complaining about needing a faction split mod for it?

Yeah mid game is abysmal and late game while the challenge is there, facing is it monotonous as fuck.

I was easily able to predict how awful HOI4 would turn out early in development so I haven't touched it myself.
