/twg/ - Total War General

I wish they could have made it look more interesting

There is a reason why the badlandsbowl is boring as shit

They should make wandering armies on that part

...

I was thinking they could have put some interesting rock formations or pits and maybe some vegetation.

A harsh winter hits and my troops are unable to make it to the next town this turn. One turn regrouping won't hurt in any case.

The southern Badlands are somewhat better. There's these forest/swamp with black trees and blue fires, as well as the Bone Tower and some Orc idols.

Yea see, now that looks a whole lot more interesting. A few rocks and other stuff in the previous one would have done wonders.

Guess they only had enough Charlamemes for half of the Badlands.

>tfw no sci-fi TW

tfw just realised the Odrysians are dlc

you underestimated your enemy and this is the price you pay

Got to pull them down off this hill.

Just pick your favorite total war and imagine the factions are different alien races that are still in that particular warfare and technological period

Reminder if you havent played as the righteous warriors of Islam at least once youre not a true total war fan and need to leave

They have a lot of skirmishers so I'd better hit them as soon as they're in the open.

what about righteous warrior of shinto?

Ottomans are literally the only fun muslims to play as.

Guys, what mod is that?

i can't bro, it's not the same..
i want mechs, machines, guns and shit....

...

1295 for Attila
Only uses the Charlemagne map, just playing this until the 1212 medieval kingdoms releases its campaign

I thought 1212 for Attila but apperently it's something different.

fug
what's the strat for WRE? just focus on getting sanitation and public order up, and settle nomads when they enter my lands?

Do you need Charlemagne to play it?

Is it better in terms of gameplay than vanila aoc ?

highly doubt that

History and fantasy living in harmony because they can clearly do so.

Yes
I dunno, i've never played charlemagne, i only got the dlc for when 1212 comes out and so i can play this

>nothing on old friend
>nothing on pre-order DLC faction (aka Norsca)
>nothing on Dark Elf units and gameplay
>only shitty facebook args for the Skaven, no units and gameplay
>exactly 80 days until TW:W II's supposed release

Sigmar preserve us

With that done it's just gone turn 40 and I now control two full provinces. I've just scouted to the west and found this monstrosity, but it'll will have to wait until tomorrow night.

>food
>sanitation
>public order

Religion is a big fucking deal, going w/ Graeco Roman Paganism is much easier than going with Latin Christianity. The only time you will want to settle is if you have a nomadic barbar faction (vandals, alans, goths etc.) that is at war with Barbar NATO (the guys fucking your shit up early on) in a good spot to secure your borders.

For example, in my WRE campaign I ended up using the settling mechanic for the first time after I took the Alaman's capital and gave it to the Vandals - since the Vandals were at war with the Alamans and had armies moving around in my territory, I was able to replace a hostile faction with a friendly one and remove the threat of the Vandals w/o killing them. This also meant that I didn't have to worry about incursions from that part of Germania until the Vandals were eventually destroyed

>Surround a single unit of dwarf warriors that's at about half strength with three of nasty skulkers that are almost full.
>Skulkers get shot at once from a bolt thrower and chain rout.

Yeah, seems legit.

Rolling for not Chaos.

I'm about to lose my Legendary Sigvald campaign to a 5 stacks VC army. Rolling for a Very Hard this time.

ASININE MORTAL

DIS STINK But fine, Chaos it is.

looking great.

I just want my comfy chaos dwarf campaign.

I'll probably get slammed for this but I enjoyed Cordoba in Charlemagne.

rallin

The Kingdom of Asturias has proven to be really fucking incompetent - I wanted them to take the current military target for themselves, so I sacked it multiple times, even defeating the rebel army inside it and sat in the reinforcement zone so that I could help them take the city if they attacked it. Instead they sat on their hands and my army had to go back east to deal with the Taifa of Toledo who had just declared war on the Taifa of Barcelona. The Taifa of Barcelona, however, has actually made progress in their war, taking the Taifa of Valencia's capital, leaving them with just their towns in northwest of spain.

The Duchy of Frisia has been almost completely absorbed by the Kingdom of Brittany. This campaign is the first time I've ever actually seen the Bretons leave their peninsula.

In the south my troops have finished securing Corsica and Sardinia, and are waiting for a naval escort to take them to Sicily to finally deal with the Theme of Sicily once and for all

>no Total War Rise of Islam yet

pretty cool desu

>disfiguring scar
>maimed leg

poor guy

You'll need some srious money if you are about to face Rome.
Get rid of that faggy Odrysian raiding your port, and send some ship along Black Sea coastline. I bet Bosporos, Colchis or Pontus will be willing to trade.

>red helmets

>my daughter has been ruling the Duchy of Bavaria for the majority of the campaign
>no diplo bonus/options

These guys should be my puppet state at this point

are chaos extremely difficult to face with 1:1 human armies or do i suck this bad? auto resolving has won me 90%+ of my battles so far

TIGERS TIGERS TIGERS

>bighead cheat mode activated

those faces look fucking horrible

Chaos armies are all made up of their mid to most expensive units. If you aren't fielding the same you're going to have a bad time.

How can I prepare myself best for playing the WRE? I know I have to eat a lot of losses early on, but is there anything in particular I should remember?

get really good at defending the Roman minor settlement maps

Capitols give a better food/public order ratio than the theaters

Preserve trade with the ERE early on at all costs

>not running PANZER DIVISION KARL FRANZ

pleb

>get a mod that makes braced spearmen in deep blocks extremely resistant to knockback
>game gets 10X better.
I think I am in love lads

Do you actually have fun playing like that? Do people who actually play like that for real have fun?

>Two big 'uns on boars
>Charge a single unit of dwarf warriors from both sides at the same time
>DWARF WARRIORS FUCKING WIN AND ROUT BOTH UNITS

OH MY FUCKING GOD CA
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT FROM ME

its fun once or twice.
It gets boring after that

gib kryptonian gf pls

>CA will never use her as the base model for fit norscan shieldmaiden hero.

>orc cavalry

It is now July, a chill wind blows in Naggaroth but the sea of malice is beginning to thaw. From Ghrond, a messenger comes bearing word of an ancient prophecy involving the lands of north Lustria. The Hag Queens offer many sacrifices to Khaine to gain more of his favour. Meanwhile the Druchii of Clar Karod whip their slaves ceaselessly in preparation for the Witch-Kings coming campaign.
A great fleet is being assembled for but one purpose, domination by a best elf soon!

>Launch TWW
>uninstall

Worst TW game ever, fantasy was a mistake.

I'm starting to think I should use exclusively Arachnaroks to fill in the role of cavalry because everything else sucks SO MUCH.

>because i'm holding a stick, I should be immune to being hit by something the size and speed of a truck

What exactly you didn't like?

Exactly on what are you basing this opinion if apparently you barely got past the menu?

Of all the historical manga you post the worst one which is basically fantasy

Another Sicilian naval assault is defeated at Region.

Not pictured
>garrison archer w/ 456 kills
>garrison archer w/ 175 kills
>garrison cav w/ 228 kills

The Sicilians no longer have the forces necessary to protect their island; Sicily will fall soon

>anything related to three kingdoms
>not fantasy

Just embrace it

fuck off
Chinaman ploughing story is legit good

>three kingdoms

Good god you fucking uncultured swine

>WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT FROM ME
Gitting gud

>knowing chinese "history"
>being "cultured"

lmao

I personaly hope for Victoria Total war.
I think it would be neat to see German Unification and all the wars that followed with it.
The grab for Africa and Opium wars would be great to see, as would wars like the Triple Alliance war in South America.
Bot to mention the American civil war and the various Russio-Turkish and even Balkan wars.
I just think it would be neat to see but thats just my opinion.
What do you other anons think?

Ye that'd be cool, murder some abbos and genocide the zulus

I just want the new tw to have gunpowder as the only gunpowder tw I can stand is FotS and blasting nip peasants to the moon gets old after a while

tfw no vampirefu to be in your thrall

Too big in scope from the sounds of their future plans

A man can dream user...
A man can dream...

I just want Empire 2
With fall of the samurai pew-pew and attila campaign map

why would you ever have a tight static formation in a setting with machine guns

nobody says it has to be tight and static man, they could do something new

>I just want Empire 2
Don't we all user, don't we all.

m8 its not total war anymore go play supcom like a real nigga

i played all supcoms to death, i need something new
wake me up

History, fantasy and anime, living together in harmony on /twg/

>she will never hold your stick.

Would LAA(Large Address Aware) Help with Medieval 2 mods that use custom settlements?
