>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."

Has anyone seen estalia survive more than 15 turns? They always seem to get fucked over
Jose Howard
Were any of the old races significantly changed for the new combined map?
Brody Sanders
My first ME game as Helves they were gone by turn 20. Feet Queen gobbled them up.
Camden Sullivan
ROADAROLLADA
Owen Walker
Did she kill them or merely settled in their ruin? They seem unable to survive the beastmen that start there
Asher Lee
>played frogs, edgelves and try out high elves
Is it just me, or are high elves pretty much a historical faction, not looking too closely at magic?
It's just so cozy having battlelines and great archers. I don't feel like I need to use fancy gimmicks to pull out victories, instead I'm just using basic battlefield tactics. Ulthuan is way too easy though, the trading income is insane even on Legendary.
Aaron Watson
Don't know. She was already there by the time I discovered.
Nolan Young
SHIRUBA CHARIOTTSU
Gavin Kelly
Beastmen hordes need to either spawn less or be gimped because they fucking wreck everything so early in the game.
Anthony Nguyen
Why don't the Old World lords get to use the new cool fighting animations
They just flail at each other like retards
Cooper Cook
bret genocide, best day of my life

Xavier Richardson
>Play Carcassonne >Move two step north >Khazrak come running from the south raze a settlement and disappear I hate them so fucking much
Blake Rivera
>Swordmasters of Hoeth are merely called "Sword Masters"
Why are you russians so lame at translating stuff?
Xavier Cox
How come the total war designed from a tabletop multiplayer game has so few of its users playing multiplayer?
Hunter Torres
In my Malekith campaign im playing now they fucking razed Hag Graef and destroyed Morathi so now I can't confederate with her Funny enough they left me alone but ffs
Nicholas Stewart
No idea. But hey, it's not norsca-dlc-tier.
Luke Wright
>aghol destroys solo all the AI dark elf factions in the north because three norscan outposts can afford 10 stacks of vikangz >when you're forced into hunting their shitty stacks and rebellions 18 chaos warrior armies spawn and beeline for you
Isaiah Lewis
Was that when the guy who had to do the flavor text just put some insults in one of them?
Caleb Peterson
yosss
Kevin Foster
Yes.
Robert Nguyen
Speaking of Malekith when I checked on his ME campaign I noticed that a lot of settlement in naggaroth had unsuitable climate now, what's up with that?
Aaron Hughes
They combined several provinces.
It's manageable except when chaos corruption gets too high.
Brandon Powell
It's mostly the norsenigger provinces and a couple of mountainous ones. Then again I have a mod installed that changes it so I don't know
Jonathan Russell
rollin
Oliver Phillips
migrated Teclis to the rightful Elven Colonies, and noticed the uggos share animations with the waifus.
Parker Morris
>Tomb Kings still not announced.
Wyatt Diaz
because people play H2H, or generally suck at MP and go back to their easy campaign. FFA was a great chance for scrubs to have some fun but not many people bothered with it.
Matthew Harris
so how do i fight for ze lady?
Dominic Foster
Wait so, you want high corruption as MOMMY but 0 as mommas boi? How do they coexist?
Lets be honest, CA is never going to release the update for norsca, RORs, old world LL trees etc. Its not happening
Zachary Jenkins
does anyone have the picture of someone (i think it was orion) calling mannfred von carstein short?
Anthony Walker
Sure. Never ever. I think it's better for all of us to go back to history now.
Gabriel Williams
>Click on Phoenix Guard >No sound CA, WTF?!!?!?
Ryder Torres
The disappointment of ME has made me a hisfag. WHENS THE NEXT FUCKING GAME
Andrew Perez
It doesn't seem like your tests are very reliable.
Isaac Ross
I'm just getting into this stuff. What's so wrong with Mortal Empires?
Ryan Rodriguez
Hopefully they will get new animations as part of a redone foundation update.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment
Julian Hughes
It's boring because it's the same old starting positions, also the AI is retarded
Jason Taylor
>Not building memestacks and fucking around in MP for shits and giggles.
Adam Parker
CA made a patch that fixed up most of what was wrong with the old WH1 lords months ago
It's not (yet) in ME.
Austin Carter
I'm overly afraid of getting my ass kicked

Zachary Long
Are Chaos Knights good? I liked them on tabletop.
Luke Long
Did they break Beastmen in ME?
When picking the Gorebull's unique lord upgrades, normally you have to spend 3 points then get the final upgrade.
I found out you can put ONE point in, then get the level 4. And have both buffs.
So for example you can take the melee attack one, get +6 melee attack, then the level 4 buff, and have +16 melee attack and 34% charge bonus.
You can also upgrade the first one to level 2 (for +12 melee attack) and you get BOTH BUFFS, so you get +38 melee attack and 36% charge bonus, but if you level the first block to 3, you ONLY get the 4th level, so you get +16 melee attack and 36% charge.
Same applies to the army ones, like recruitment cost. You can get -7% (level 2) and -18% (level 4) and they both stack on your summary and you have -25% recruitment cost, but ugrading to level 3 only gives you level 4's bonus.
Adam Hughes
That's why you pick Bloodline of Aenerion
Fuck the other elves, they're just hindering you
Henry Williams
RRROOOOLLLL
Adrian Moore
That's goin in the book
Carson Allen
>Tfw they got rid of Shoguns multiplayer system.
Absolutely degenerate, imagine being able to costumize your own armies generals and traits.
Luke Rogers
Yeah. Really comfy faction. I like their looks too. Too bad that there is no more historic like mods with more support like lords and generlas and less monster spam and more just humanoid units fighting regular battles. BTW you are not suppose to unite island by force just by diplomacy.
Easton Rogers
>want to play ME >also want to wait until they patch game 1 LLs and add Norsca >probably wont happen for weeks
Life really is about suffering, isn't it?
Henry Gutierrez
Yes, they're among the best cavalry in the game. Not as crazy as Blood Knights, but nothing is.
I also think people underutilize Chaos chariots and chariots in general but honestly in SP you can just spam Chosen and win easy
Owen Allen
>they got rid of Shoguns multiplayer system
Thank fuck for that. One of the few good things they did.
Sebastian King
Still dont know how people get VH/Leg done as Tyrion on ME unmodded, half of the island got Aversion and i start off with a war with two factions.
William Moore
should've revoked their military access beforehand. I always revoke those after whatever war they're fighting is over
Justin Scott
Hm. How do you force undead who are actually dead now to make some labor? Damn elven magics.
Christopher Robinson
They are the most "standard" faction to play. The closest thing they have to a gimmick is they have hybrid units you need to swap between ranged and melee sometimes and their only weakness is their units are a bit squishy, but that doesn't matter too much.
Their unique influence thing is a positive 99% of the time, unlike the Delves and rats that get almost as much negative as positive from their gimmicks, and their only real weakness is a limited selection of AP ranged units.
Basically, its hard to fuck Helves up.
Now skaven, if they didn't have warpbombs and broken summons they would be borderline awful outside of doomwheels and artillery spam.
Carson Wright

Legendary story: Make buddies with Yvresse and Cothique, everyone else is buttmad. Kill Saphery, Tiranoc and Caledor duke it out, Pick off Caledor's remnants, fuck up Ellyrion and Tiranoc relations with influence (aversion affects them too) and make them fight each other, pick off Tiranoc, send Tyrion to slap Morathi and take Quintex before she gets too strong while a new army keeps things at hand home Yvresse and Cothique removed Skaelings (and later Scourge of Khaine and Sartosa) I took the averse kindoms one by one and confederated Cothique and Yvresse once they started fighting Malekith and Vampire Africa and lost some armies, was smooth sailing from there
Eli Gray
>haven't played campaign as empire since WH1 came out >chaos invasion is all of a sudden 5 factions >kholek and his abominations tear right through Boris's infantry like paper while franz watch from across the river >Archaon and KAWKAW still behind the initial doomstacks
Alexander Taylor
It seems so. I think I made the concession later in the thread that, for some reason, the AI sometimes halts their charge just before contact which severely skews the results, at least in my tests, apparently.
So, I suppose, you could disregard them entirely. At least the cavalry tests. I haven't found the same to be true for the Lord vs Lord tests.

Adam Hernandez
I got banned from gbf for spoofing burgers
Kevin Peterson
Why are buildings for Bret so fucking expensive?
Cooper Green
After every battle, I imagine how the survivors react to be slaves to panzees.
Wyatt Adams
Why would that prevent you from watching GBF?
Samuel Carter
And, to continue, I think the only way to reliably test this using custom games is by getting a good co-op buddy so you can set up identical formations to charge in a straight line into each other.
Kayden Garcia
How can other skinks even compete?
Henry Garcia

Aiden Bell
God this game looks like shit sometimes.
Jaxon Moore

Why the fuck do they not show starting positions in the LL select screen.
How do you fuck up something so simple.
