/twg/ - Total War General

New meme on its way

???

!!!

>those fucking m&b tier weapons

pathetic

Finally done with UNI. Time to roll up a new campaign for the first time in almost 4 fucking months.

Rerollan if i get Karl.

FUG!

>getting the worst dlc

don't

If you're gonna play Chaos, get the Warlords of Chaos mod and the Liberate as Vassals one, so awakened tribes become vassals (even if they're still pretty useless). Vanilla Chaos Campaign is tedium incarnate.

what are you expecting from a tw game

Those weapons were probably ported from m&b senpai

nah dude, wait to get chaos until game 2 or 3 comes out, and hopefully they'll have made chaos more interesting by then.

right now the entire campaign is: move, battle,loot, move battle, raze, move, battle, loot, etc

its very monotonous

Too late.
Not really interested in overhaul mods but the vassal one was actually something that i was looking for. Thanks user!

I like listening to faction "appropriate" music, so for an undead campaign I'll listen to things like

youtube.com/watch?v=ho9rZjlsyYY&list=RDQMdcxxM2VxGME

and

youtube.com/watch?v=oL8hvlYOrik

What is Bretonnian appropriate music?

The obvious one so far is

youtube.com/watch?v=yhhDbaah9DQ

I'm totally happy to listen to that on repeat until everyone sees the might of ZE LADY but I'd like more please.

Please accept this pic as tribute.

I never understood this. How can you listen to, lets say, serious music like Toccata and Fugue but then also listen to less serious music such as ghostbusters theme?

It would kinda break it for me. You are marching with your undead army to the sound of orchestra and when you´re tearing down the enemy walls, ghostbusters theme starts. Seems kinda silly to me.

>Seems kinda silly
Quintessentially Warhammer.

im inventing a new chaos god, ill show you when im done

Are these for the campaign map or battle?

Anyway, here's a bunch:

Thanks user. More stuff like this is good.

Generally it's for either or both campaign and battle.

Does anyone have any mods they like for Attila? I tried out Settled Huns for a different experience but it's honestly pretty bad.

Empire/Bretonnia

youtube.com/watch?v=TVE23Gqnlnc

Rolling

Alamans, Langobards or Burgundians?

Also, do I try to make a kingdom in Germany, or do I fuck off and migrate elsewhere?

Burgundians best tribe. Make Burgundy or migrate Spain/Africa/Egypt

I don't like to use well known music as it will always remind me from where it is and because of that destroy immersion. I use music from amateurs on yt like this for Vampire Counts youtube.com/watch?v=ML0XFlWkEvk
I remember that i liked to listen to this Adrian von Ziegler guy, though as most of yt composers all of his works are very similar. Like, they found a way to make Vampire, Viking or Celtic themed music once and keep doing this same one all over again with few changes. Hardly memorable, but immersive for my campaigns in various strategy games.
Also I don't like words in such music as it usually won't be related to game and thus out of place.

No problem. Playing some outside music instead of the ingame one, which, with is okay but not exceptional, is something I'm thinking of doing myself. I don't have my own list but if you wanna look for more, Dawn of War, WoW, the Witcher and earlier Total Wars, especially Medieval 2, have songs I feel that fit pretty well with Warhammer.

Here's some more stuff. I thought I'd just post one or two more but it became a little more than that, haha:

>when you play Shogun 2 which has objectively the best soundtrack in the series so you don't need to listen to other music while playing

For undead/chaos you definitely should listen to Slayer. "Disciple" is pretty much archaeons theme song, "Bloodline" is mannfreds.

Other noteworthy slayer songs for chaos/undead
>hell awaits
>raining blood
>dead skin mask
>chemical warfare
>seasons in the abyss
>the entire God hates us all album
>the entire Reign in blood album

For Bretonnia/wood elves Ensiferum is 10/10
>burning leaves
>lady in black
>into battle
>unsung heroes
>Lai Lai hei
>in my sword I trust

Manowar has many great songs for dwarves/empire/Bretonnia
>battle hymn
>hail kill and die
>hand of doom
>heart of steel
>die with honour
>king of kings

And amon amarth has shit loads of good stuff regarding battles and mythology

When you're a good faction fighting undead
>as loke falls
>fate of norns
>one against all

Generic battle songs
>free will sacrafice
>we shall destroy
>raise your horns
>warriors of the north
>with Oden on our side
>deceiver of the gods

Other good bands for total war in general
>the sword
>Tyr
>sabaton (Carolus Rex album/last stand)
>iron Maiden
>Dio
>various classical artists and traditional military songs

To name a few

>We die standing
My favorite of the DoW themes.

Also I'd like to suggest this for dwarves.

Why did CA focus on the battles for TWW, but make the sieges such absolute garbage and infinitely worse than Attila?

I was about to agree but then I realized the only once I can remember is Uncle Samurai.

Either they ran out of time/money to make big warhammer cities, or intended that the seiges be simplified in order to make the siege experience more consistent, rather than the shit you get in Atilla and R2 where single units of pikemen can murder a near infinite amount of AI troops if you're defending.

But, you can't really say which one is correct just from an outside perspective. Maybe Sega didn't give them a big budget to work with given that Atilla sold poorly and venturing into fantasy was potentially risky.

That can be kislev.

It had the best victory theme by far.
youtube.com/watch?v=CJi0S7-9MiM&index=9&list=PL7F38E372B470537B

Oh yeah, now I remember! Yeah, that's probably the best one in the series, though Going Home from Medieval 2 is close:

youtube.com/watch?v=67bZGL3hMnI

Welves/Durthu campaign
youtube.com/watch?v=4BeR6zv3tH0

>Either they ran out of time/money to make big warhammer cities

Probably couldn't make big functional city battle maps for every race(thinking long term). Any cheese in TWW walled sieges also work in Attila and Rome 2, but overall the walled sieges functions better in TW than in rome 2 and Attila.

Big defensive or attacking siege battles never happen Attila though, which makes their nice walled battle maps kinda pointless(defending Constantinople never ever).

I wish it had unwalled siege battles, but I manage to enjoy TWW sieges anyway.

>Endless games music

My nigga

One Empire's theme works quite well for another Empire
youtube.com/watch?v=rvlFvp8j6d8&t=1s

Been playing as Marienburg lately, heavily roleplaying, just doing my thing, taking care of my 2 settlements and eventually jewing out the Empire. My plan is to win the game with vassalage, if that's possible. It's the most fun I've had with this game so far.

I just can't bring myself to have fun with auto-resolving settlement after settlement and having a blob empire.
I wish more games let me play as a small nation and let me have small legitimate goals that don't involve conquering the world.

This work for Greenskins?

>wish more games let me play as a small nation and let me have small legitimate goals that don't involve conquering the world.

Well user, the game *lets* you do exactly that, as do a lot of games. But at the end they probably won't give you the victory screen. But after the first campaign, does anyone care?

>Attila keeps crashing when I try to pick custom battles

Anyone else with this problem? It's a fresh installation with no mods, and I already did try reinstalling.

What's everyone favourite piece of music from the Total War series? The main menu music from Medieval 2 does it for me.

youtube.com/watch?v=4dNAozYOgVQ

With Bretonnia, does it work to go MAXIMUM CHIVALRY

as in Lord, hero, sorceress + all knights?

Maybe 8 KOTR
5 Questing Knights
5 Pegasus?

Just started a Sclavenian legendary campaign and suffice to say I'm having a few problems keeping the Huns from raping and pillaging every fucking inch of my kingdom.

Any tips for dealing with these cunts?

Seconding Uncle Samurai, Tsunami is a close second.

Become their friends

>tfw fell for the Warhammer meme

The game is just...not good, you people were making it seem like it was a good TW

Too many of them to choose, most from Medieval 2 but i like some from Empire very much
youtube.com/watch?v=U9lFV6snF44

Nothing can save you.

>The game is just...not good
why?

poison archers are op af and will make any units they hit exhausted for the rest of the battle. Be sure to use them on hunnic cav/horse archers. Iirc slavenians have the bonus vs nomads and the horse hewer type inf so the battles shouldn't be as much as a problem

As far as campaign map strategy since the slav area is wide open with little in the way of chokepoints, you are probably going to want to make liberal use of ambush stance - even if you don't get an ambush off your army will be hidden and the ai will have no idea it exists until they discover it, which will allow you to bait weak/raiding armies into the movement range of your more powerful stacks, instead of the ai magically skirting around the edge of your movement range like they love to do

Those ARE ported M&B OSP models.

well they look like fucking plastic trash

...

E3 is in less than two weeks.
Will CA have another trailer ready by then?

Probably.

Tomorrow is a day too.

>Try clicking "quick match" in Attila
>it isn't actually quick at all
ive been waiting 10 minutes with no results, whats up with this

Nobody plays your shitty 'bleak and brown' era game

ded gaem

Obviously photoshopped.

why do you have to be a cunt about it

total war games are for single player only. go back to league of legends or call of duty

You can't have a quick match when the game is fucking dead dude.

Fudo Myo March from FotS

youtube.com/watch?v=QTa6h3A9shw

Always gets me pumped up. And that bit at 2:10 is just umfff.

It's boring

Every campaign plays the same with each playthrough, there is no variation between your first or second dwarf campaign

Spaghetti lines killed it.

>there is no variation between your first or second dwarf campaign

It's often up to you, but dwarfs are kinda geographically locked in which makes that harder.

Basically all of my games as the Empire have been different(also because of mods)

>about to march into some treasonous cunt's settlement after he broke against my walls 3 turns ago
>goats come out of nowhere with a shit army to raid my country within that very same stack's range

REVENGE CAN WAIT

Kill them all

shit taste detected

>every beastherd spawning event ever

and you're autistic, what's the problem

so i can no longer drag right click to make my units form.
how do i fix this?

Well, /twg/?

Reinstall drivers
if that doesn't work, verify the game cache/mess around around with settings
If that doesn't work, reinstall TWW
If that doesn't work, install gentoo

To be fair Dwarf are by far the most safe and boring campaign. personally I've had the most fun with Vampires, Empire and Bretonnia.

The game does have a lot of problems though but they have been making good steps into making it better. I hate to say it but you kind of have to look at it like a early access game. We're basically only 1/3rd of the way through it, and even then most of it was CA experimenting.

THAT SAID I think Warhammer 2 is going to either make or break this project. We'll see if they're going to overhaul it into the game it should be or if they'll keep down the broken and unfinished path of Warhammer 1

>dwarf campaign
No shit you're not having fun. There's a reason so many people on /twg/ like to shit on dwarves.

Do I generally want halberds or not on the demigryphs?

You know nothing, hell is only a word, the reality is much much worse

I can't remember which version is the best, but go for healing.

Do towers still have infinite range?

Yeah, but there are mods to get rid of it if you want.

Started a siege battle, cannon towers immediately destroyed two of my great cannon

NOPE

Yes, in my tongue, we call it Bannerlord
