>History information: totalwar.com/blog/what-the-teams-are-working-on-07-06-17 totalwar.com/blog/a-total-war-saga-announce-blog Summary: Saga title is a spiritual successor to Rome 2. Some are guessing the map will be Britannia. Campaign pack coming up for a past history title, probably Rome 2. Next big history game is a setting they've never done before. Will feature "important character relations that occur between the major personalities in the game."

>If we balanced the game based on forum outcry, we'd be in a really bad space right now. I understand that everyone wants to show off how well they know the content and everyone feels strongly about their favourites. It has reached a point though were neither our disclaimers, nor our data, nor our arguments could breach mental barricades.
>On top of that, carefully phrased questions easily drown in flaming hyperbole. It's a sad direction that a lot of internet forums and social networks are evolving towards. I would have liked to engage more with the civil side of the community before release, but it costs too much time to wade through the trolls. Who would have thought ten years ago that having discussions in an anonymous online space would turn out this way?
>What actually happens during production is that some assets come in later than others and it will therefore not be as balanced in early marketing material. With our first playable demo being Lizardmen vs High Elves, we naturally skewed balance so that the Lizardmen stomp all over the Elves. No one wants to be wiped out the first time he picks up a game.
>Maybe in the future every forum and social network will have a "fake news" button to easily separate truths and experiences from misconceptions and opinions. Until then, we really rely on the moderate and fair part of our community to steer this platform, ask the right questions, support our balancing efforts, and call us out on actual issues.

I'm too degenerate for this shit, I should have played Malekith.
Angel Scott
Why don't these people just play a proper fucking RTS if mp battles are what they're interested in?
Noah James
Scar vets, they are the most useful feet for combat a melee infantry unit has in the game.
Joseph Gomez
new maps look good, ffa is going to be even fun w/ more factions, CA employees suck at tw
>want to play morathi >can't even make it past the selection screen without having to go crank one out
they likely aren't good enough at actual rts games so they play tw where a simple knowledge of what is broken in the current patch and 1000s of hours in mp can get you on the leaderboard to satisfy your ego
David Gutierrez
whats the best lizer unit against vampires other than dinos? krox?
also why are dragons an elf thing and not a lizer thing?
John Diaz
Because High Elves bromanced the Dragons
Jayden Young
Because dragons are highly individual and the lizardmen aren't.
Ryan Miller
>whats the best lizer unit against vampires other than dinos? krox? chameleon skinks might do well, kroxigors would probably be their best option since vamps lack anti-large
Lizardmen don't have dragons because they aren't sissy island-dwelling losers
Jaxson Ortiz
Dragons predate Slann, so neither trusts the other. They also can't be controlled through Slann mind magic like dumb Dinos, so enrolling them would be more trouble than it's worth.
Logan Clark

>but multiple times only when the Old Ones still directed them, on their own they are beyond useless. Even before the Old Ones left, they failed at eradicating Greenskins. They are also one of the most cucked races, their homelands literally being an all you can eat free buffet for looters and settlers. Lizards are on the fast lane to being genocided by Skaven, while Skaven don't even have an outpost on Ulthuan.
Daniel Clark
Aren't is a contraction of are not.
Kroxigors are armored and armor piercing. If Tehenhuain gets locked out of saurus units, expect them to be a staple of his armies.

does getting mounts affect the campaign movement of agents?
Juan Stewart
Ain't is both "am not" and multiple instances of "x not," like is not, are not, has not, etc.

The Lizardmen are the only race created by the Old One who actually functioned as intended though.

Charles Mitchell
They were intended to completely destroy the dwarf empire after the dwarfs crippled the elven empire, allowing the prosperity of both greenskins and skaven directly, and chaos indirectly?

>tfw 300 turn legendary chaos campaign where I razed the whole map can't wait
Dominic Morales
their job wasn't that complicated, they are basically expendable chaff to throw at a problem. And their "development" was actually finished before the fall. Seeing how they failed against Chaos, it's doubtful if they worked as intended though. For all we know the Elves too functioned as intended, until Chaos came and they had to adapt, for one going above and beyond what was expected of them.
Humans are objectively the greatest failure in the Old Ones plan though, seeing how a huge part of them is directly serving chaos.
>after the dwarfs crippled the elven empire Malekith crippled the Elven Empire. Dwarfs only caused a ruckus in the colonies to distract Ulthuan for another Invasion, also orchestrated by Malekith.
Noah Edwards
honestly if you told me orcs or dwarfs or anything like that i'd get a boner
but it's fucking rats dude, and filthy plagued ones at that who knows what a rat dick looks like, probably fucking disgusting

*blocks your path* >you are my slave now, filth
what do you do?
James Walker
They didn't start worshipping Chaos though, that's got to count as a massive success compared to the average Old Ones project.
You have to wonder how they survived to develop such incredibly advanced technology given their typical decision making.
Jose Flores
Do Elves have periods?
Julian Carter

Grayson Moore

Noah Thompson
>You have to wonder how they survived to develop such incredibly advanced technology given their typical decision making. you mean the Lizzers? They never invented anything except Sotek worship, all the technological devices are Old Ones artifacts. The most sophisticated thing a current Lizardman can build is a crude mace.
Grayson Adams
dumb norscans'
David Gray
>all unique heroes get a dank-ass mount >Cuck-Gar get's a fucking T-Rex >Tyrion and Teclis gets fucking ponies >Skaven get nothing
BRAVO CA, BRAVO
Seriously, what is this? You can't even have an epin battle between Tyrion and Malakith above the skies of the battlefield, you have to prance around and wait for him to come down to you. Seriously?
All your buddies get dank fucking dragons and you're left riding around on a gay-ass little horsie? Fuck that.
Angel Evans
They don't have mounts in the TT and the Lore you dumb ape
Eli Allen
Nah, I meant the Old Ones. Their solution to every problem was to double down on their previous bad idea.
Christopher Cruz
Having watched a lot of multiplayer and trying it out a bit I've found that the people who play it have horrendous micro and constantly lose track of their units. They're simply too shit at video games and I would not be surprised that they spend most of the battle trying to zoom in and watch their units fight rather than ordering their troops around. Just watch some 2v2 battles where one guy just sits there not moving his units at all while his ally gets absolutely wrecked. So many of them just have them sitting there, half the time without any artillery doing absolutely nothing.
Thomas Phillips
nail her to a door upside down and leave her to bleed to death
Landon Carter
Tyrion has a bro-horse while Teclis is known to fly either a Pegasus or Griffon at times, don't remember excactly. Dragons are not as common as your average Lord makes it look. Malekith gets a dragon because he literally created the Black Dragon brood.
Jack Hill
When will they fix the performance of TWW2? The first game ran buttery smooth for me, but this one is a fucking mess with fps jumping all over the the place. Really kills all my enjoyment.
Caleb Martin
Glad it's not just me. It's the same fucking game with new "features", why does it perform at 50% on identical system and settings?
Kevin Hughes
High elven mages with the incendiary attribute really activates my almonds.
Zachary Torres
CA have this retarded thing where they only patch the game when there's content coming. So first patch on the 26th most likely. Then again, they've never fixed Attilas performance, so who knows.
Adam King
I actually have better performance with 2 than 1, especially when there is weather.
Chase Powell
Honestly it's not that retarded if its actual content, but half the time it's small shit
Nathaniel Collins
What's with these Bretonnian shit stacks?
James Collins
I don't think they were as cold and logical as the Slann make them seem. At least not all of them. The Lizardmen were tools, almost biomachines to them, so they treated them like machinery, and the Lizards think and function like machinery. That doesn't mean their creators were also cold and machine like. In this train of thought the Slann can be equated to biological supercomputers, insanely powerful and privy to all kinds of information, but lacking the spirit and soul to recognize beauty.
I guess that's why you have the Elves, beings that can appreciate things like poetry and art. Beings that can argue about the things that aren't divided into numbers and follow no logical pattern.
Lincoln King
I would be way more into this if the whole slave thing didn't involve crazy torture and bloody murder rituals.
Joshua Wilson
It must be the shitty new lighting engine. Disabling the SSAO gives me a great fps boost but the game just looks like ass without it.
Jonathan Johnson
Attila still has a number of awful bugs. The bonus recruitment level retainers *still* don't work to this day, and the germanic garrisons have a quarter of the units they're supposed to because the upgrade tables were never corrected.
Anthony Hernandez
What does it do?
Jack Perez
You suck my peepee in the lore gayfag.
Jason Fisher
bret's don't have their full roster due to ca incompetence, same reason why norsca is the old chariots + marauder cav norsca and not the nuNorsca
Logan Butler
Get an AI recruitment mod you big ugly nigger
Grayson Anderson
I nearly fried my GPU by getting up to grab a drink whilst zoomed out on the campaign map. Came back to my card screaming and temps creeping past 90C. There's something VERY wrong with the game right now, and I want to say it's all of the fucking stupid glowy fog effects on the campaign map. You can't disable any of them.
Jordan Barnes
But that's what makes it good. An all powerful dark temptress, debasing herself with a foul, mangy creature. She has enough power to destroy him with a thought, but instead she can only moan as mangy fur rubs against her inner thighs, as she is bred again, and again, and again. It's so blissfully degrading.
Jace Bell

n-no thank you i like the whole women degrading themselves and serving as breeders for other species, but only when that other species is humanoid at the very least
rats just make me want to puke

>play kroq >having a good time, broing up with the wood-elfs, having cagey relationships with other lizards due to nabbing golden tower and merrily pushing into skaven territory every time they decide to declare war >suddenly 80% vampiric corruption everywhere >have to spend the next 70 turns launching a full on crusade to wipe out vampires At least I made new friends.
Zachary Butler
I give mounts to lords only if the mount is named or they had them in the tabletop.
