/twg/ - Total War General

They've replaced many but it's a pretty mixed bag

CA LIED TO US!

Attila is its own game set 500-700 years later than Rome 2, it's much better than rome 2 in every way except the setting, but that's debatable, the dark ages are pretty cool.

THE THRONG IS MUSTARD

>working on Chaos when they're due for a total rework
???

Daily reminder Malekith it's the true Phoenix King not Finucuck, Thanks

It is. Its a great mod even though it lacks unit variety. As you can tell I spent my time genociding the Elves. It was a good time.
Done it, done it, and done it. Skarsnik was a blast, he was one of more recent campaigns.

>Everyone will get a little dusting of something new.

So did they go back on their word or have they just not announced it yet?

CA gives loads of stuff comparatively, their PR is pretty top notch, stop complaining faggot.

I don't know much about the Dark Ages.

In fact, I only know it because of Age of Empires 2.

what does it do better than Rome 2?

I LOVED THE MIRROR GUARD.

HOLY SHIT

>Everyone will get a dusting of something new

Except the core factions which are the most popular ;)

Playing Stainless Steel.
Republic of Genoa or Byzantine Empire (Late Campaign) /twg/?

MIRROR GUARD
(axe infantry (swords))

Of course, they are the only unit what's not a fucking recolor

>those swords of chaos stats

BY SIGMAR, NO!

They can beat demis probably

The ones... that already have RoRs...?
are you dense?

You could try Angrund.

>the mirror guard armor is a functioning ingame mirror
>fps tanks to single digits when you field them

Everything. Its everything that they tried to do in Rome 2, but actually working and done well.

>Look at that color skin! dammit!

CAN'T WAIT FOR EVERY RACE SPAM A ROR STACKS TURN AFTER I WIPE THEM OUT.

Geez, at least it was limited to 3-4 factions before. Also, that shit is so fucking lazy, what new assets we even saw? I think from the top of my head, new Bret Lion shield and that Lion figurine on top of their helms. Pretty damn sure Mirror guard reuse existing assets, save for that Mohawk on top of old Chaos Warrior helmet. Look at the second weapon Grail Pilgrims hold, holy shit, they don't even clutch their secondary weapon.

Fuck, it's basically modder tier stuff.

>still no second start position for empire

Except the aesthetic .___.

this refers to a different update, not this one
likely the norsca update

I've been playing Medieval 2 for years and only now I see how many insane mods exist for it.

any mods that remove RoRs?

steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=837371167

Don't ellipse at me you charmin squeezing faggot, they didn't say it would be RoR in that thread, they said everyone would be getting something new.

But hey, at least Kemmler gets a new skill tree.

Don't you want more stuff for VC, user?

stay mad cuck

WHY DOES FUCKING CHAOS GET THE BEST ROR's?!

534 missile damage
420 range
40 magic ammunition

Please elaborate.

>mirror guard vs mirror guard
>BSOD

Chaos was the shittiest faction. They had to deliver.

because their roster is shite

>NEW STUFF FOR EVERYONE GUIZE!!!
>What about Empi-
>FOR EVERYONE
>but Empire isn't get-
>EVERYONE

>Dragon ogres Super Saiyan 2

>lets give everyone magical attacks even though they already had access to anti-ethereal magic

as if ethereal units weren't bad enough already

>modelers and texture artists doing good work
>special effects guy: just fuck my shit up

Agreed, Green Knight buffs when?

>3 new wizards
>I want more!

What makes their RoR the best?

>a cav unit capable of beating demys
holy shit

>3 glorified reskins of an existing units

If we're including wizards as DLC then VC got a new wizard too with the Vampiress (Lore of Shadows)

What's the lore on these? Did Kholek fug something to spawn them?

>SONS OF GHOROK BUT NO GHOROK

REEEEEEEEEE

>3 wizards comparable to different starting positions, fleshed out LL and all that shit
Apologists

What will happen to Chaos campaign after Norsca DLC?

FROGG

the other faction just got new units, and 80% of them are behind a dlc wall

nothing

nothing
same goals

>likely the norsca update
This is the Norsca update.

>But their birthday is the 18th!
Yes but they're releasing it early to coincide with the Norsca update.

The other factions were made more interesting than Empire to begin with. And also have different starting locations.

AI chaos will make them their bitch
campaign chaos will now be harder

>what would happen to Archaon
Another cuck to crush.

STOP COMPLAINING FAG JUST BECAUSE THEY PROMISED THINGS FOR EVERYONE AND YOU GOT NOTHING WHATS THE PROBLEM HUH DO YOU EVEN UNDERSTAND CA IS BEING SO GOOD TO US RIGHT NOW

preorder serpent god edition or get out of this thread. I mean it, mister.

>type "leos voice is qt" in chat
>get timed out for 600 seconds

Kinda weird how none of the Brett RoRs are any of their Grail Knights.

How will Kholek and Archaon starters get Sigvald after they buffed up the Norsca?

t. Grace

For starters, basic mechanics are better: Units are more responsive, charges work better, units turn the way theyre supposed to,etc.
Cavalry works much better in Attila, partly because the combat of the time focuses more on cav usage.
Battle time is better, and tactis matter more than simply having better units.
It goes on really. Dont get me wrong, Rome 2 is still a good game, its just everything it does Attila does better.

>no new stuff for the empire

desuwa i'm a chaos warriors and Bretonnia fan mostly but c'mon CA they have a shitty start position, barely last past turn 50 if you're not playing them, and have the least amount of LL's and no unique positions. Fucking christ.

>Surtha now starts with a fucing chariot himself

Surely the presence of new Norsca will tame him like that one patch tamed Tree Hitler, r-right?

Gee Norsca, how come the Chaos Gods allows you to have four hellcannons?

You deserve it creep

>four hellcannons in one unit

>4 hellcanons

>Khornes bonus is a unit of 4 Hellcannons.
>4 hellcannons
>4 FUCKING HELLCANNONS

Grace did it

4 (four) helcannons!

>khorne's bonus is a fucking artillery piece

Fuck off, you have your fucking fluffer guards now, calm down Gaston.

Here was the hidden unit

...

>4 HELLCANNONS
>4 HELLCANNONS
>4 HELLCANNONS
>4 HELLCANNONS
>4 HELLCANNONS
>4 HELLCANNONS
death is now

QUADCANNON

>four hellcannons

Well Attila is the best place to get into it. Vikings, Saxons, the Christian Roman empire split in two, Huns, the growing Assyrian empire, all sorts of barbarians and successor states popping up out of the falling western roman empire. It's a pretty interesting time period and there's a lot of good royal family/political and cultural management features in Attila so you can fuck around with the campaign in a bunch of different ways.

You also have the Age of Charlemagne expansion which is more of an early medieval/late dark age setting with Muslims added to the mix.

lmao 4 cannons

>14k HP
this is suffering

That's what bothers me the most in this patch. The Bretonnian grail units feel way too mediocre considering what they should be yet not even a RoR for them, nothing for the fliers either.
Instead we got foot knight which will probably mostly be very good for meme peasant blobs instead of true Bretonnian chivalry

I have two new milestones of hope for you where Empire can get STUFF. New patch that would drop with or before Norsca and Warhammer 2, when they would release stitched together new grand campaign.

>dual lore chaos dragon riding sorceror
These rewards are redonkalonk.

This thing will delete literally any non-monstrous unit from the game in one volley, holy fuck

The patch that drops with Norsca is the one giving us the DLC RoR and no (0) new empire features
