/twg/ - Total War General

What a dork

Rollerino

bannerlord is no where in sight so might as well buy the total war games

Tomb Keks report. Ka-Sabar here, always liked the city of bronze and hoped we'd get dirigible models before ageofshitmar duardick ass pirates.

Wow how dare people post about TW in a thread dedicated to those games

itd be a better list if the super dumb minor shit stuff was removed.

>no minor settlements
>no soundtrack by Jeff van Dyck
>no multiplayer avatar conquest from Shogun 2
>no burnable cities mechanic from Attila
>no siege escalation mechanic from Attila
> no roads
>no naval battles

Post your campaigns m8 and take it easy

Remember to find a cheap copy if you are going to buy TWW2

I wonder what today was like for CA employees?

>tfw hate-sex

rell

bannerlord looks shit only shills will say otherwise

Business as usual

Holy shit are faggots really thinking darren was that relevant to ca?

He earned 400 bongs for fuck sake
I earned more than him at 23

developers working normally (programmers/artists)
designers/leads laughing away at Darren before resuming their duties with a gnawing sense of unease at the back of their mind whispering to them of all their inadequacies
PR wondering if they should do anything at all--probably will decide not to do anything at all

>I play at 1440p
I literally have that same GPU, twice as much ram, and a far superior CPU and I still have large drops on 1080p with mixed settings
you're full of fucking shit

Does anuone have the image where the Goblin is smilling really cheeky???

this
especially on Ultra with 2+ armies in the mix
and the large GCCM maps are awful on framerate

Well being a whore would earn you quite a lot more.

>ex employee confirms everyones worst fears about the future of tw games
>not relevant

hi grace

I have 4GB VRAM as well and I can't use ultra textures in large battles without the game automatically downgrading them because of running out of memory.

I'm still salty about that, I'm curious what direction he would take with the music considering it's fantasy, Richard Beddow has improved compared to the shitshow that was Empire but is still nothing above "it's okay I guess"

""""confirms""""
Nigger
If you couldnt see where the series was going and still didnt jump the boat by the of rome 2 release you are a dumb ass nigger

And the people that got into tw with warhammer wont care either, and they are starting to become a majority

oh wait, he has the 4GB VRAM version? I have the 8GB version and still have these problems.
Why the fuck does Speccy say i only have 4gb? I have 8, even TWW says I have 8

he's apologizing for coming off more like Arch instead of a reasonable lad with constructed arguments against his foe

what did they mean by this??

someone gave a reason once... but i don't remember it

One of the best retainers

...

Nips are so scared of westeners even their music terrorizes them

Except he said TWWH2 is shaping up to be great.

ROLL

remove _____

CAs are jews
And you knew this since fucking rome 2, you merely accepted to forget because guess what, you were actually having fun with warhammer.

If you need a beta bum who got fired (lets not kid here, he very likely got invited to leave) throwing a tantrum on twitch to make you remember that its fine
But please Darren is the last faggot I would suck dick for

if you jumped the boat, why are you here?

Attila was an improvement on r2, and expecting the series to keep moving forward after attila isn't unreasonable. Unfortunately WH is what it is, and doesn't seem like it will get better

>Unfortunately WH is what it is

One of the best game in the series?

based French men telling the truth

>Unfortunately WH is what it is
Really fun?
>and doesn't seem like it will get better
You mean other than TWW2 looking a lot better?

so this is the power of WE in SFO

WE shit on dwarves outside of SFO too

I guarantee the next historical title will have the Attila mechanics, warhammer had a simplified campaign for all the newfags coming to the total war series and because they didn't want to show the passage of time + family tree wouldnt fit for half the factions.

Pretty much, I don't know why it's so hard to understand that Warhammer overall is meant to be more arcadey.

I didnt jump the boat
Because while I enjoy this series I give no fucks
If I dont, I just dont buy the game then come back later

how do I install mods outside steam workshop

if you like wh1

game whose setting saves it from its lack of features. If attila had a campaign on the level of wh it would have been considered shit

>>a lot better?
>no naval
>sieges still shit
>only 4 factions
>obvious placeholder factions for aggresive dlc policy

the combined map is the big draw of wh2 and we still know nothing about it

the point is that wh was arcadey as hell, stripped of a lot of features, and sold extremely well - its not unreasonable to worry that CA looks at that and assumes that they can do the same with other titles with similar success

The only real big gripe I have is the constant and repetitive sieges. More field battles, please. Maybe I should try a mod that lowers movement ranges, see if it stops the enemy from always ducking behind cover, or something that removes walls on settlements other than province capitals.

Warhammer isn't less complicated than Shogun 2 which is regarded as one of the best titles so not having deep mechanics isn't a valid criticism. It's always pretty obvious that its not even historical players who raise the most issues, since few of them rate shogun 2 that highly. It's clearly players of Rome 1 and Med II who are raising the objections since they're pissed Rome II was so shit. In many ways warhammer is still the most ambitious and well delivered title to date. If the same complaints aren't legitimate in the case of Shogun 2 they aren't legitimate here.

How goes the hunt, /twg/? I'm trying to complete everything before TW2 drops.

>the combined map is the big draw of wh2 and we still know nothing about it
No it'll be the vortex, fuck off drone poster

I actually do
FPS drops to mid 20 in big battles though
There is no 4GB version of the 1070, speccy is fucked up

>only 4 factions

8 technically

Anyone have that map with all the cities and forests replaced with their old elven names?

And what can you do about it?
People buying TWW never played a TW before
When they read about features of previous games that were stripped they wont relate because they never had these features to start with
At best some will try the older games
At worst they will think its unnecessary complexity

Not him but I don't give a shit about some secondary victory con, I'm literally buying this because I want to play the WH1 factions in a campaign that is not railoraded.

oh fug

Anyone know if there are any good co-op campaign mods to increase difficulty or add more interesting objectives? Right now the win conditions for any co-op campaign regardless of faction is "raze 80 settlements, make some units, make some tech". Would like to have something more fitting with the single player ones for us to work towards

He literally said that TWWH2 is shaping up to be very good. Sorry that it doesn't fit your narrative.

That is true for all of the games if you break it down. Do I want money or recruitment?
Sure you have food and sanitation shit but since it's a mandatory requirement to deal with these mechanics in every single province, you're effectively working with a VERY small number of possible build slots and buildings.

Actually building money making specific region buildings like a mine in Attila? Just forget about it, too many public order/sanitation issues, just go with the standard one.

Shifting minor numbers around 3 buildings doesn't account for deep mechanics, people are just fucking stupid.

>Attila was an improvement on r2
in the campaign ya. but didn't the battles get faster? at least that's what I've heard from darren.

Sure but its hardly the big thing for warhammer 2 just because you aren't interested

Oh look, here's another image of "our guy" saying TWH2 is going to be a good game.

But we're going to ignore that ever happened because isn't shitpost fodder.

They got somewhat faster in the early game because early units have worse morale than early R2 units.

Many faction in R2 have early units that are still pretty elite, like hoplites.

You don't have to be new to the series to think that clutter isn't depth. Some games are enjoyable even if they are simple, see the old games.

he gave TWWH1 a 6-7/10, which is "good"
TWWH2 is a direct improvement, so it'll receive a 7/10, which is "good"
absolutely based

roll

Yes goy it's clutter not features, it's the reason why they are bringing back this clutter to give piece by piece to the new factions to market them as new, because no one wants them.

Early-mid game fights are pretty fast. Blobs fighting a blob in a chokepoint can take forever though

melee inf vs melee inf engagements were much slower, but a good player could wreck house with cav because of impact damage

>implying anyone gives a shit about the dumb vortex

dummy, the point is that both wh1 and 2 are stripped of features compared to previous titles

but why would I try explaining that to a redditor?

>Get BTFO
>Moves goalpost

Ebin.

11/10, very enlightened posts with well thought-out executions

Not even going to give you a (You)

You said Darren only said TW2 would be good if you liked TW1, someone proves you wrong. What the fuck is there to not understand about that?

b-b-b-but MUH MONSTER UNITS

>no burnable cities
good, that was fucking bullshit. one block is on fire, -200 melee attack and defence

Daily reminder.

>you will never have a dark elf gf

clever little shit, aren't you?

Sorry user this is historyfag territoy now.

> -200 melee attack and defence

There were mods for that.

Remember mods? yes the things you used to change mechanics and not the faces of ugly trannies CA forced in the game.

>Want to play Attila
>remember that they still havent optimized it
>the Medieval kingdoms campaign is barebones shit
>want to play medieval 2
>remember that there are no decent realism mods that dont add bullshit annoying campaign mechanics like stainless steel
>want to play warhammer
>remember
Guess its back to Shogun 2

this. total war would be nothing if it didn't deliver tactical battle experiences which are first and foremost a spectacle and secondly it's a way to explore history/fantasy, it's not a simulation. It's not a format where strategy will ever be central or deeper than other games which focus on it.

Are you the guy that doesn't consider a mod a "mod" if it's not a LOTR total conversion?

>Darren plays SFO MP testing it out for the first time
>SFO fags crash the stream and shills like crazy
>two of their "community team" spam their way in to the battle to make sure they 1v1 him

I enjoy SFO but these guys are pretty pathetic
