/twg/ - Total War General

So some autist can easily disrupt comfy generals. Just wonderful.

I wanna try out that campaign as Mousillon. Might be cool.

>all this unauthorized trespassing into the Forest Kings sacred realm

This is going into the book.

History and fantasy still living in harmony.

>screenshot sharing encouraged
I would, but seems print screen doesn't work on medieval 2 with my version of windows, just puts a black rectangle onto the clipboard. Seems to be a common problem having googled it, but can't be bothered to install any of the suggested extra programs to fix it.

Anyway, long story short, in my current denmark campaign the papal states have got a crusade army on its way to Cairo. I didn't know that could happen.

Why are the Onagers removed from DEI even though they were invented in like 400bc

Launch it through steam and take screenshots that way.

It's just elves, and they are pretty colorful at that too

The map is pretty nice and well detailed, at least.

Comfy

If you haven't played Orion elves yet, get the office that unlocks the wild hunt. Surtha Ek ain't got shit on a wild rider wild hunt meme stack.

This is what Onagers really looked like

But muh authority! Muh prestige!

right lads, how do i go about expanding so i can get imperium five so i can get legionaries before carthage declares war on me on turn 100

Current turn is 65

どういたしまして

THE LAAAAAW

Now see, this is the kind of respect that Orion is owed!

>traitor

Gonna have to work on your manners though.

Oh yeah, forgot you could add non-Steam games to Steam.

So, here's proof, a papal states crusade army. Pls no bully over my retarded expansion directions.

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!

>spoiler

Seems pretty natural for Denmark. Scandinavian interests in Northern Germany and the baltic is historical. Invading England would be more memey

I applaud and approve of your combination of cancerous elf memes.

How is this mod called which changes the color of your interface?

*fails to obtain ceasefire treaty*

>press next turn
>*diplo bow*

Only a handful of turns and these idiots are already fighting each other. I'd join in and grab some territory but Beastiebois are at the border so I'll have to deal with that first. But now is the time for sleep.

Here you go, user:

Are you looking forward to Lindybeige's Hannibal graphic novel?
youtube.com/watch?v=zDl96IA5lRA

I'm positively shaking with excitement.

>Bows in front of player's city every turn for ten turns.

*tries to bribe your city for the 5th turn in a row*

...

Lindy may be wrong about certain things but his autism for ancient civilization accuracy is strong.

so it won't be frank miller's 300: carthaginian Boogaloo?

Lindy will spend 30 minutes ranting about sandals in Rome or inaccuracies in modern movies depicting medieval/ancient societies. He cares a lot about that subject.

why is it that whenever i attack or defend in a non capital city in warhammer, you never actually fight in the city, but outside, unlike the previous games

No idea why they did that. There's a mod on the workshop for it (Minor Settlements). They're a bit awkward for the AI but I'll take it over nothing at all.

G O B L I N S

Soon.

reminder that Lindybeige claims:

no one used swords, axes
no one used horses
no one used throwing knives
no one used double strap arm shields
no one used scythes
no one used mail coifs
no one used torches
Pikemen didn't fight each other
no one spoke French during the French revolution
no one spoke Latin during the Roman Republic
battle of Zama didn't happen
Romans carried one pilum
Vikings weren't real
berserkers weren't real
climate change isn't real
stagnant social mobility isn't real
castles were defended by three soldiers
butted mail is better than riveted mail
operation market garden was a success
Napoleon was literally Hitler
The Churchill was the best tank in WWII
The English won the Hundreds Years' War
british naval guns on Malta could lanuch projectiles into space

Stop mentioning this lackwit fucking bearded retard on this board

There are only walled sieges. You can get on non-capital settlements if you build the garrison building. It's sad, but you can also do this

KHAZUKAN KHAZAKIT HAAAAAAAAAAAAWVRHJQIHR

I was wondering where you've been.

I watch his videos and I can tell you most of that is incorrect. 0/10 didn't even mention Bren vs Spandau. -2/10 if this is pasta

I got Warhammer recently, and I'm playing Dwarves for my first campaign

Are they supposed to be... boring? They have the most generic soldiers I can imagine.

Go away lindy, go and stick your dick in a panther exhust pipe again

It's almost midnight in the UK on a monday night. You think that there are any brits here right now?

Pretty much. All of their fun stuff is either late-game or just plain bad
Vamps and Greenskins have all the fun bits

Maybe I'll try out Empire or Bretonnia or something.

Empire is fun. Just watch your back.

Empire is difficult, not the faction, but dealing with the pressure all around you.

Bretonnia is difficult because you have to be REALLY good at managing your cavalry. Otherwise your peasants will go down quickly.

Surtha Ek reveal tomorrow.

ASININE MORTAL

OH BABY

Ugh, I hate factions like that. I'll try out Bretonnia, 'muh knights' sounds fun.

>Ugh

You must go back.

Empire have really fun battle play, but their campaign can be a real gooey mess.
Some people love Bret battle play, others don't. If you know how to hammer & hammer, then you should be good to go.

Man, Empire campaign is fun, but after some point, it just abruptly dies out. You go from "Holy shit, fucking backstabbing Elector Counts, Orcs, Skarsnik and Vamps fucking me up from every direction" to the just twiddling your thumbs and waiting for Archshit to finally invade you.

DO NOT make allainces early as empire you will get fucked

This is how far /twg/ has descended
A common expression triggers someone

Stirland's revenge is worth half of a beastman army in auto-resolve.

Just thought you all should know that.

>no one used throwing knives
This is correct

And it's all the diplomatposters fault. They keep shitting up the thread. Fuck your diplomats

*bows in front of your princess*

heh.. nothin personell kid

I AM _______ AND _________

Well that was hard and fun
I didn't play any Total War for something like 3 months. It's good to be back.

Will Bretonnia try to capture Marienburg quickly? I'm on turn 5, seperatists still have one province, but I already sent force in jews direction to outrun frenchmen, hopefully my second army will deal with seperatists and reinforce Karl in turn or two.

I want to expand on Bretonnia and liberate peasants rather than fight with elector cunts anyway, but i want to delay this a bit.

The fun is in economy management. Because you'll need it when chaos invades because their basic chaos corruption building costs ten fucking thousand.

I don't know. I just ignored it and built breweries. Maybe you're supposed to use Thanes. Or maybe you're supposed to turn every capital building into a military building so you can have level 2 forges everywhere and recruit the runemasters to cleanse corruption.

But I thought they were fun. Every unit has a defensive and shielded variety and an armor piercing >>>>>charge bonus variety. Just get rangers with great weapons. Holy fuck. They can throw them right over your lines. You don't even need to flank and they'll chew everything up. A dozen chaos armies don't stand a chance in the underway.
Making alliances with Stirland and Talabecland is fine because when they get into war with the vamps you can just confederate them. Just don't ally anyone else... mostly because you want to war them to take their land faster.

Handsome
Manly

so I'm finally gonna play NTW

Any must haves mods or should I bareback it the first time through?

Legend of Total War here

Has there been any news in the last two weeks or so?

What's the appropriate ratio of filthy peasants:glorious knights that should be in a Bretonnian army?.

also please tell me I can get some sort of dismounted knights eventually

100% cav or you're doing it wrong

Question for any lore buffs here, are Skaven the type of race to have fielded armies? From what I've read about them, they seem like the type to march in their tunnels than on the fields, but then again, I don't have too much knowledge about them. Really just asking if it's realistic or not for a Skaven army to be on the march on land.

not really but iirc in the end times they didnt give a fuck and were just emerging all over the place

warhammer lore is dumb

no ur dum >:D

Play vanilli and then have a go with Darthmod and if you don't like that try LME.

Bretonnian knights are always mounted if that is an option, with an exception of a few cases where prolific knights take a vow that lets them go on foot acceptably. So no dismounted knights outside of Paladins and Lords. I know, it kind of sucks, but it's their character. Highest tier infantry are foot squires.

They almost always take tunnels and attack from below settlements. It would be unusual for them to be found in a field battle of any sort.

>image
What a clusterfuck.

>Highest tier infantry are foot squires.
That's... unfortunate.

So, any tips for fighting undead? They don't rout, apparently.

Kill the lord, the heroes, the carts, and let them rot.

they die instantly instead of routing dont worry about it

Blame the tabletop, where they didn't even have the squires. Their whole gimmick is/was as much cav as humanly possible. This may have been lessened had they had a 7th or 8th edition update which gave them new units like the other factions, but they didn't, so the backwards Bretonnians truly were left behind with nothing but a 6th edition rulebook.

When CA added them to Total War, they added a few units but kept the cav focus:
Peasant Mobs
Foot Squires
Royal Pegasus Knights
Hippogryph Knights

*provided you're not on very hard and above

Foot squires are pretty good, just be sure to get the inexplicably popular dead knight on a stick to buff their leadership.

What happens when they lose control, they start taking damage over time?

What about Battle Pilgrims? Are they any good?

Yes to damage over time and yes to pilgrims, they're like a higher tier variety of empire swords.

Prince of Macedon here

Quick march was a mistake.
I am so fucking tired of reaching an army at the edge of my attack range and them fleeing and I have to chase them for 15 turns or hire a whole 2nd army. Can't cheap out on that 2nd army though because he's not running because he's weak, he's running because he's weaker than the army you've had the whole game. You know, the one with your best units.

God fucking damn it. Or you should be able to attack on quick march. Yes you'll be winded but it works both ways. If the AI catches you then you can try to turtle and use their exhaustion against them, whereas when you're the player you just want the fucking raiding army dead, doesn't matter how many die, your units likely won't wipe so you can recover later.

Or maybe I just don't understand underway intercepts. Every fucking time I'm right next to him, can't get closer because of ZoC, even though I'm attacking. But the fucking beast fuckers teleport away.

TOMORROW WILL BE THE DAY!
