>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 is Crisis of the Third Century for 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."
How would you guys feel if CA did Total War: Alexander? Factions would be >Alexander/Philip II's Macedonia >Greece >Persia >Egypt >Mauria, India Later we could get Ethiopia/Nubians, Italians, Arabians, and Afghans. The map would basically be the eastern third of the R2 map. Here is the kicker. India. We include all of India and central Asia. And maybe, if you really wanted to push it... China. You could lead Alexander to greater heights than even he achieved, lead the Pharaoh's in a pre-Ptolemaic Egypt, etc.

Whats the point on placing your troops on the top of a hill? As soon as enemy gets to me my artillery and most of ranged units are useless. Isn't it better to place your troops right before hill, making enemy stand higher and thus having a clear shot for your troops?
Gavin Lopez
As weird as it'll sound they make good anti cavalry. Set them up to intercept charges. even if you lose them they deal damage when they die and they have anti large which will hurt cavalry.
Oliver Sanders
>Still no Mousillonanon release of his glorious Vampire Coast mod
For me it depends how missile heavy I am. If I'm mostly melee I just put them half way up the hill. If I'm mostly missile I put inf at bottom and missile high enough on hill to shoot over. But if I'm mixed. I put inf 25 percent of the way up hill. And missile 75 percent up hill.
Jason Price
Depends on the hill, the units you have and the units they have.
There is a negative modifier for fighting uphill though.

>Mortal Empires Hotfix Beta Patch Notes but it's out already
Ethan Torres
Where should I expand now as Armenia ?
Asher Watson
Get the port to med and trade with everyone
Hudson Cruz
Thanks CA! Norsca when you fucking shits?
Lincoln Parker
>tfw still no mortal empires crack
KILL ME NOW
Nolan Walker
If Norsca and foundation is taking so much time I really hope they are going to add more stuff to it, because there is no reason for this delay
Ian Sullivan
Look how long the hotfix took them man CA is DONE FOR
Cooper Lewis
Total war modern warfare Syria: When?
Benjamin Williams
>I really hope they are going to add more stuff to it
Benjamin Robinson
Attack Pontus, access to the Black sea and all.
Jayden Perez
Total War China vs USA 2040 when
Kevin Reed
Atleast you will get the patched version rightaway poorfag
Dylan Foster
*wrinkles nose* I smell poor people in my /twg/
Connor Hall
If i used the beta patch do I need to opt out of beta now to get the hotfix or is it the same?
Levi Butler
Well they sure need to change the way Norsca settle the cities, previously they were able to settle capitals + ports and it was their "unique ability", now however everyone can settle everything, so the norscan ability to settle any port they like goes into the trash.
Matthew Moore
Like they changed how wood elves settle cities?
Ian Thompson
so tomb kangs in rome 2 when?
Juan Hughes
Yeah you need to "opt" and redownload 92mb
Aaron Morgan
They don't really need to change it In fact it'd be good if they didn't change it, as it would guide the AI better.
Ethan White
>it would guide the AI better True, not sure if CA will make it a first faction that cant settle everything tho.
Carson Ramirez
BUY THE GAME YOU PIECE OF SHIT LEECH :^)
Adrian Morgan
Thoughts on climate system? I think it's total shite, funnily it actually kills diversity and just promotes extreme blobbing for select few races (dwarfs, vampires, norsca tribes and delfs). Not to mention hurt feelings of lorefags. It also doesn't help that AI completely ignores pretty severe debuffs from unsuitable climates.
Josiah Adams
I hate it, dwarfs are just snowballing even more, every fucking campaign is Dwarfs, just dwarfs everywhere
Camden Moore
WH1 system was way better desu
Logan Hill
>use a few select mods >gameplay is like 10 times better.
Tyler Flores
Faction balance have nothing to do with climate. You can change some things and instead of vamps and dwarfs you will get orcs and empire. But i agree that ai colonise red climate too much.
Henry Nelson
Factions should be only able to make outposts on uninhabitable climate, no settlements Likes the wood elves
That can fix it a bit
Henry Garcia
Sure, but then what about Ulthuan and Naggarond?
Cameron Russell
Climates should enforce a typology, rather than a +/- effects Something like Green: Cities as we know them Orange: Not sure Red: Military outposts
Are you suggesting to use Climate Overhaul mod? It really doesn't help from what I noticed, AI moves to attack the settlement, sacks it and then captures it anyway, because he still got few movements points lefts and he probably thinks it's the most productive use for them.
Anthony Adams
Based Ar-... oh
Josiah Hall
yep, try it out :^)
Nathaniel Morales

Chase Brown

Juan Long
What about it?
Parker Fisher

Parker Bailey
The Tzarina's Kossars to the Everchosen!
O Never-Chosen, ruinous daemon and damned daemon's kith and kin, scribe to Tzeentch himself. What kind of champion are thou, that canst not slay a snotling with your naked arse? Nurgle shits, and your army eats. Thou shalt not, thou son of a whore, make subjects of Kislev's sons; we have no fear of your horde, by land and by sea we will battle with thee, fuck thy mother.
Thou Norscan scullion, Kurgan wheelwright, brewer of Bretonnia, goat-fucker of the Eastern Steppe, swineherd of man-beasts, pig of the North, Strigany thief, catamite of Slaanesh, hangman of Sylvania, and fool of all the Old World and New, an idiot before Dazh, grandson of the Ruinous Powers, and the crick in our dick. Goblin's snout, mare's arse, slaughterhouse cur, mutated brow, screw thine own mother!
So the Kossars declare, you lowlife. You won't even be herding pigs for Kislev. Now we'll conclude, for we don't know the date and don't own a calendar; Mannslieb's in the sky, the year with the Tzarina, the day's the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our arse!
Julian Morris
:O
Alexander Taylor
How would you put them into the system from the first game? Are they orc/dwarf areas or the other type.
Adam Edwards
Filthy pirate fag here gonna play my first game.
Should I go Lizard men? Or perhaps Lizard men?
What about Lizard men?
Ryan Richardson
what the actually fuck
Gabriel Morales
Lizardmen are a great option to play first if you really want to appreciate how much worse they are than every other faction.
Aaron Phillips
>using them like axes and glitching too
lmao.
Bentley Johnson
I like it, i think the problem is more with the AI than with the system itself.
Cooper Ortiz
Nice clipping you got there
Christopher Phillips
So? I don't want to play for blood for the blood god, but I need to see goblin blood.
Easton Young
Umm sweety thats how you use a glaive
Jordan Russell
Is there a mod that change faction and lord bonus of the old world race?
Jaxson Lewis
>Adeeshuduggaat
Levi Reed
Except that the weapon the welves are using is clearly an axe and not a glaive no matter what the game says.
Daniel Gutierrez
>big dick Teclis He pretty much soloed these stupid rats. AI just kept bunching up and pretty much died in constant Net + Chain Lightning combo, which is spamable thanks to the insane regen he gets from active passives and conduit.
Easton Gray
Good image to sum up why I don't like Total Warhammer
Jaxson Garcia
Lizardmen names leaking into Rome 2?
Jackson Moore
Something like this should be the kislev trailer 2bh
>2017 >still no dynamic weather/day_time during battles
remind me why do we still use 2009 Warscape engine?
Julian Cook
There are night and day versions of battle maps
Brayden Stewart
So.. I tried to play as Morathi in Mortal Empires and it really didn't go well. She seems like a really bad Lord and having to deal with that Ellyrian army right next door is a pain in the ass. How do I git gud at playing momma?
Jayden Anderson
Does the gobbo big boss hero actually have a general leadership bonus given by skill or is it just for itself?
Ian Murphy
You play as Malekith and fuck your mommy until she confederates
Gabriel Davis
Lore wise is there a Skaven lord/hero that can 1v1 any other race lord/hero ? Or they are just numbers and back stabbing.
Kayden Martin
I mean, maybe Queek could kill Skarsnik 1v1.
Jason Bailey
By some odd fucking reason, queek can beat grimgor and probably any orc warboss too.
Anthony Walker
Do you see fantasy cucks ? This city in the middle of nowhere is actually a fucking siege
Christian Thomas
Ingame or lore?
Xavier Brooks
Yeah, congratulations on your glazed shit.
David Ramirez
Probably Thanquol, in some ridiculous accidental way.
Michael Thompson
Wait, they don't even have towers that can be manned to shoot arrows? Really?
Jason Allen
You mean the Tiranoc settlement on the coast?
Maybe I was just lucky but I started a Morathi campaign this morning and it seemed like an easy start. I just took the other settlements in the staring province, going right to left, and then grabbed that Helf city.
Adrian Stewart
Rome 2, Attila, Warhammer - most battles last less than five minutes
Easton Cruz
>He finally got the whole city >He is still attacking 1 wall
Adam Allen
Queek because apperantly he is the only Skaven who isn't a cowardly shit.
Deathmaster Sniktch killed a lot of big names in the fluff, including Thorgrim Grudgebearer. Granted, all by backstabbing.
Thanquol is the most powerful Skaven because he is cool, afraid of nothing, powered by warp-cocaine and casually is able to accidentally summon the biggest, most angry Bloothrister and doesn't get as much as a headache in the process.
Hunter Mitchell
...
Owen Powell
So what, you enjoyed the sieges in Warhammer so much that you only ever attack from one side now?
Ayden Sanders
Ingame. Lore wise any greenskin LL would trash queek.
Benjamin Ward
You'd expect a realistic game would consider that some walls would have stations on them.
Robert Price
Fuck I missed this bullshit. Pikes are so much fun.
Alexander Evans
>*without mount
Mason Lewis
and he fails 90% of shit he does.
Kevin Lee
Morathi is a caster which means she's a bit of a slow starter, unlike Malekith she doesn't get a big AoE in the first tier or her caster tree.
After a few levels she becomes a monster killing hundreds every battle using overcasted pit of shades on cooldown because she has damn near endless winds of magic, as well as a global winds of magic buff that will make all sorceresses you use in all armies better.
Malekith is definitely a monster and much easier to use but Morathi is more if you love using magic and want it to be more effective in all your armies. Her tactics are a bit more nuanced than Malekiths 'Right click and try to remember give orders to the rest of your army'
Ethan Taylor
Queek is mentally retarded, like he has the Skaven equivalent of down's syndrome.
Aiden Rodriguez
you cant be the most powerful skaven when you fail at literally everything you try
Brandon Jackson
I mean i already knew this since i use GCCM but okay.
Jordan Lee
I need to split my army when I have only 4 ladders and ballista, guess i'm going to climb the other walls with magic ladder :^)
Oh wait, I just won the walls, now i'm going to fight inside an actually city :^)))))
Liam Moore
powerful =/= incompetent. He summoned Skarbrand by mistake, that's powerful.
Isaiah Martinez
Are you sure about Attila? I thought the later ones last way longer.
Wait why not play Attila then?
Isaac Fisher
Too bad the rest of that game is a huge heap of garbage, histcuck
