Eventually(tm). But there's only so much we can do when it's basically Dresden doing the campaign stuff, me doing units. There isn't the infrastructure in place to pull off DEI stuff because I feel like Attila just has a major manpower shortage.
I am working on taking necessary items from fote and preparing a reskin for Empire Divided. Will be limited to a pure reskin though in addition I'll prob do an optional variant that adds a few units and removes a few egregious ones (like the Roman Gallic Empire chariot/heavy chariot) or transform the sarissa style pikemen given to Romans/Easterners/ect. into something else. But the main project will JUST be a reskin, so I don't have to worry about anything else. At most I'd want to add in later units that might be missing but since CA has an auxilia system in ED it solves a lot of problems in that regard.
For a neat blast from the past, an ancient screenshot of some of the first stuff I ported over (helmets from M&B OSp stuff) and armor/tunics I made for Constnatine. Going to rely on porting over FOTE assets for the ED project since they are higher quality.

Camden Bailey
I wish I had the gem/sweetfx settings I used for it way back because it reminded me of attila a little.
Charles Hill
There's a new kid on the block.
Man these captchas are fucking killing me by now.
Hey man, I would already be legit fucking ecstatic if you guys (or just you, idk) were to finish the FOTE unit rosters for the Saxons and whatnot, but I understand that that is a lot of tedious work. Those screens look fantastic by the way.

Logan Myers
Was thinking about picking up Attila after sinking a couple hundred hours into Shogun 2 and realizing the lack of unit diversity made things a bit boring.
Could someone explain the food/fertility system to me? I've heard that it becomes difficult to retain a sufficient food supply as the game goes on and soil loses fertility, but does that mean the game legitimately pushes you into an almost no-win situation? Also, do the build slots return? Having to plan your settlements out from the very beginning was nice.
Nicholas Morris
I definitely will, it's close to being done it's just the last stages. CDIR unit priority, unit abilities, a bunch of tedious fixing with command unit priorities. I realized I never fixed that in the past which is why some factions have 3 general bodyguard options (which fucks up the UI) and why people haven't been able to become unique general bodyguards. Like Aksum was meant to have an elephant bodyguard option.
What should happen in a week or two is one day I go "I need to stop being a lazy faggot and get it done" and then I do it. It's just a bit more fun and easy to convince myself to work with visuals than it is with database stuff.
Julian Allen
>corner camp defensive battles and use map limit to cover flank
Justin Garcia
Speaking in terms of a multiplayer-level of flat balance, campaign bonuses and shit aside: who are the worst faction in the game in terms of what they cost for what they do? I've heard mixed answers from people who play MP
Jason Barnes
It actually has come to this. Through clever usage of guerilla warfare (the AI fucking threw 1 unit stacks out of the castle that didnt get completely wiped in autoresolve, blocking direct access to the castle and costing a lot of movement points to engage for some reason), the Sicilians have managed to form up a half-decent garrison for their last stand at Palermo.
This is the last non-Roman holdout in Magna Graeca, and both the Norman king and heir are present in the keep.
Meanwhile in Greece, cataphract companies have been added to our first new template army, consisting of >1 Immortals bodyguard unit (keep the Grimgor references to a minimum) >4 Mourtatoi >4-6 Skoutatoi >4 Skoutatoi Swordsmen >2-4 Lancer Companies >2 Cataphract Companies >1 Palace Guard/Varanguan Guard detachment for use as a heavy Schwerpunkt assault unit.
>It's just a bit more fun and easy to convince myself to work with visuals than it is with database stuff. Yeah I can imagine. I'm a bit of a lazy faggot myself today, so don't worry about it. Database shit sounds super annoying.

WOOOOOOOOOOOO
Just beat the ORK campaign after 198turns, it was harsh, and I originally assumed I was going to get the long campaign done on monday, but after the short campaign everyone declared war on me and I was hit with a -10% faction Income for 10turns. Pic related is my current game of Total WarHam. I've beaten short and long campaigns with:
>Orks >V.cunts >Hummies >Dawi >Pointy Ears >Brettonia (was most fun I've had)
Avoided buying WarHammer 2, cause I STILL have yet to complete the short and long campaign of - Beastmen, Chaos, Norsca. Truthfully though, I'm exhausted and I don't have it in me to go through the game 3 more times so soon after having played it. By the time I have rested and get the urge to play again, it'll probably be near summer, so hopefully by that point in time, the summer sale will be around the corner for WarHammer 2 and its DLC. How long does it take you guys to beat a full Campaign on very hard? Did you people complete the entirety of War Hammer 1 and its DLC before buying War Hammer 2? I personally feel very happy and satisfied. I'll see you wonderful people again in the summer. Goodbye for now.

Information soon regarding that allegedly. Tomorrow or Friday. Probably not until after empire divided drops though.

is it really cheesing? I always thought that the point of playing a combat-focused legendary lord was that he can solo entire armies I mean otherwise, I'd rather have a caster or economy bonus legendary lord

Khazrak's whip is a magic whip that amplifies pain, it would kill the horses.
Jaxson Bennett
Good thing its not a horse then.
Elijah Jackson
Or you know, whatever pulls Beastmeme chariots. Not horses.
Camden Hernandez
it's not like the ai isn't cheesing like a motherfucker either. especially skaven on vh
Colton Gonzalez
Rest in peace. He died doing what he loved: laying siege to Italian cities. The Exarch of Constantinople is the new Emperor, a man who has more of a mind for the administration of empires than military campaigns.
And with that, I bid you a good night, /twg/. Stay comfy. I'll try and keep posting tomorrow if people are still interested by then.
Aaron Jenkins
Yeah, I knew someone was going to interrupt me before I could correct that.

I actually find Kroq better offensively (not 1v1, but vs. units) but Tyrion is better for getting everything on him and then dropping magic on it.

Did you just call the Empire of the Fucking Romans "Greek" you disgusting degenerate, probably German, piece of fucking human garbage?

Jackson Butler
Interesting factoid I found out while doing a research paper:
Apparently the Romans used lamellar in limited capacities in earlier centuries, stopped using it during the 4th and 5th centuries, and then started using it again right up until the 15th century. I'd love to know why they stopped using it for that period but I guess it's one of those things we'll probably never figure out.

The armies of Charlemagne march northeast into Angria, eager to annihilate their pagan neighbors. But a brutal winter and a failed siege at Buraburg halves their numbers, giving Westphalia the perfect opportunity to strike
Nathan Miller

ok, GENIUS, then why is it called the eastern ROMAN empire? Check and fucking mate dude kys

The right frank of the Flankish army surges forth to overwhelm the Saxons. Suddenly, a horde of raiders crests the hill, ambushing the Frankish cavalry with a hail of javelins.

I sincerely hope that no posters in this thread do such a thing. Oh fug call the Shinsengumi.

The spacing in between his argument and his reply is Reddit.

It only takes a few volleys to tear the Frankish cavalry to shreds, leaving their right flank utterly unprotected

Infantry crashes against infantry in the center. Saxon axes are sharp but the Franks are stronger and well-armored, nearly breaking through the pagan line
