Which lord will you pick, user? Settra the Imperishable or Queen Khalida?

>want to buy Empire Divided to signal to CA that I want them to do more shit for older titles >don't want to buy Empire Divided because it's Rome 2 and CA shouldn't think I like Rome 2 and support this course of action
I am conflicted and upset

My boy SETTRA. Little chaos shits need to be taught a lesson.

Firing up Attila with the Radious mod for yucks. Does this, or any mod for that matter, fix the diplomacy problem of the Barbarian EU you tend to end up with when fighting the Romans? I recall last time I played Attila vanilla that sort of dragged the game down for me.
Wyatt Bennett
>Radious kys
Jose Bailey
Skaven don't feel right playing either as them or against them.
Eli Morgan
Good lad. I can't wait to unlock his chariot and be all like BOW DOWN TO THE GOD KING.
Ethan Price
Why not? They're a bunch of shitty ratmen with some less shitty ratment and some pretty okay artillery. And lots of nasty diseases. Also, easiest fags to autoresolve against :)
Wyatt Cooper
Isn't it obvious user clearly queen khalida since SETTRA DOES NOT SERVE
Chase Harris
>tfw Chaos sends in Kholek >tfw Settra delivers his head back to Archae-shit 4 days later CHADTTRA. How will chaos shits ever recover?
Xavier Lee
Also, I'd totally be like "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for Nehekharan children." before going on a conquest to kill ALL greenskins in a 10/10 genocide.
Jace Roberts
They hit really hard at range with low model count, high damage troops. Their leadership is way too high and they reform over and over again. And they never achieve the 'swarm' feeling that they ought to have. I regularly fight VC and GS armies with more troops than Skaven armies. Indeed as Empire in the last battle I had 1:1 troops.
Nicholas Torres
>amazons i think Araby just moved from last place to penultimate one in my list of inferior, boring, lore lacking and undetailed factions
Brayden Reyes
Eh, just trying out new things. Been ages since I touched Attila. Mostly trying to find a way of breaking up the Barbarian EU that doesn't involve making myself the enemy of all the world.
Michael Nelson
>Reform over and over again OH MY FUCKING GOD YES. I didn't know if I was the only one who felt this way but I've lost some battles which, while I was outnumbers, I would've and clearly should've won if not for the fact that those cunts repeatedly recovered and refused to shatter. Chasing down breaking units doesn't seem to kill them anywhere nearly as quickly as older games like Medieval 2 for example, and it doesn't seem to make them shatter either. Fucking nightmare.
Josiah Perez
Holy fuck settra sounds cool, pls share the story name settra bigger dick than kholek proven
John Baker
>bretonnian lord decide to get some artifacts from those old pyramids >Wake up a giant army and get his shit kicked in
bretonnians have to be the most stupids humans in the setting
>Archaon tells Settra to kill Kholek because he doesn't want to be buddies anymore >Tod comes in alone and challenges Khazrak 1v1 in the midst of his Brayherd >Khazrak for some reason agrees and gets killed >Tod gets killed by the Brayherd in turn >People die and resu multiple times End times was fun.
Liam Brown
How hard is it to link previous thread in the OP you idiot?
Jacob Price
>click on Phoenix Guard >no sound WTF CA?!
Aaron Morgan
I fucking hated the Archaon wank, he's always been a boring as shit character, even his underling Crom was better. The ET in general were just cool moments threaded by idiocy.
Luke Gomez
that is how they are supposed to be. They route really fast without Leadership boosts, and every single one of their units gets a speed boost while routing. You aren't supposed to chase them, that way it feels like wave after wave are hitting you. I really enjoy fighting them, and just target fleeing enemies with my archers if I want to wittle them down so they don't do anything when they reform.
Skaven don't really shatter until you kill their lord but they will rout at the drop of a hat.
Austin Martin
Settra for the first 25 playthroughs
Andrew Jones
You can easily handle GS frontlines with a Skaven frontline build, there's something wrong with that.
William Hernandez
Are 6 Shades(GW) too much?
Kayden Morris
It is also really fun to fight them because the constantly routing enemies cause massive gaps in their line that let you do some really fun minor encirclement maneuvers and cause the battle to constantly change.
Mason Ortiz
Guys.
I think these "High Elves" are planning something, but I might be wrong.
Brandon Foster
only if you can only afford 5 shades.
Robert Perry
By all means it was probably an imperial faction or a border princes that opened the tomb The brets just went to fight the army of super skeletons and shit
Adam Ramirez
>Click on Phoenix Guard >"For Nehekara!" Um...
Jayden Morales
...
Gavin Barnes
Nah, so long as you have enough corsairs/executioners or at least black guard to back them up, that's fine. Shades do a wonderful job, but they do benefit from having some proper anti-infantry too. Unless I'm mistaken and you can field a whole army of shades just fine.
Ayden Walker
The elves have always been trustworthy user I don't know what you are talking about user

Ryder Adams
that's why i stopped playing. HE campaign was during the bugged chaos as well as DE campaign. I barely survived that on VH and then I had Dawi shits to deal with in both. It's too annoying to play before foundation
Jonathan Johnson
Did you guys ever have cuck experiences? What kind of cucking do you think historical figures back in the day experienced? Who were your favourite cucks and cuckees? stories encouraged

uhm altdorf is a fucking hovel surrounded by spikes sweety
Jordan Reyes
that actually looks really nice
Lincoln Nguyen
yes back in the war against the zulu the british captured a warrior that was covered in war paint and they asked him why they werent retreating etc and he responded that their magical paint protected them from bullet , when the brits told him "well what about your dead friends over there ?" he responded : "they didnt believed in the magic enough"
Connor Perez
Altdorf has come a long way
Kayden Lewis
Does it get a unique battle map as well?
Noah Morris
Here's a "before" screenshot from vanilla for comparison
We really have come a long way...
Zachary Flores
Someone post that image of Morathi without all the crap around her
Evan Davis

Lucas Gutierrez
>didn't even capitalize Altdorf the absolute state of CA
Adrian Ross
Africans are constantly killing each other over accusations of witch-craft or Vampyrism and albinos are shunned because they're "cursed"
9/10, should've used a picture of Varrock or Falador
Connor Garcia
In other news, niggers are dumb, who could have guessed?
Aaron Gray
the last story like that i saw was a women who had a restaurant being killed for having served fish to warriors cause eating fish made their "magic charm" go away
If you don't eat anything for 30 years you get access to magic powers
Luke Wood
I remember it different for some reason
Justin Brown
>it expands as you upgrade it Amazing. Why couldn't CA do this? Christ, before ME, it didn't even have a wall.
Leo Cruz
Shame Call of Warhammer was so scripted to hell and back because it was a better Warhammer game than TWW...
>dat blonde chick at the diplo messages Christ she was HOT.
Anthony Sanchez
too much effort for too little time.
Thomas Brown
>it was a better warhammer game indeed. Chaos would randomly take over and destroy the old world causing a CTD
Thomas Gray
> better Warhammer game In a way, yes. Lets hope that patched WH3 "really big map" with all the DLC's will be able to compare. All we have to do is to wait 2 more years.
Christopher Rogers
I never said it wasnt bug free. But at least it had more units, no building slots/province system and other trash born in RTW 2 and imported to Atilla and TWW.
Gavin Ward
It had the medieval 2 battles though so I wouldn't call it outright better.
Jason Torres
kek
James Watson
yes thats the one , totally forgot she was also raped
Dominic Garcia
>scripted to hell and back being a bad thing
Tell me how many "Varg fucks up the entire old world" episodes you had.
Evan Williams
Rate the new factions and their respected LL and starting positions.
Thought i would like Lizardmen but they are so boring, and the Elves are best imo. I prefer conventional armies, and skaven have no Cav which sucks dick.
Justin Nguyen
>But at least it had more units Did it really though? From what I remember, the two elven factions present were bare bones as possible and the VC didn't have any of their monstrous units, instead substituting in fucking skeleton archers and the screaming skull catapult. Chaos had god specific units, which was neat, but lacked other things like forsaken, chaos spawn and dragon ogres.
Tyler Harris
>M2 fags will unironically defend the AI automanaging your settlements with infinite building slots
fucking kek man
Brayden Jones
Radious
Enjoy easy mode. Also if you are playing as a horde, enjoy not having to sack anything because you get so much normal income.
Julian Morgan
I think he meant that script overload were causing the game to constantly crash. Scripted events were pretty cool tbqh, like Dark elven raiding parties on Marienburg n stuff.
Luke Roberts
I thought delves were shit to begin with because they're the faction I picked first. I was wrong. I was so, so wrong. My game save is now ready to just go steamroll the entire map for shits and giggles.
I've yet to try the other factions. I'm almost tempted to try helves, but I get the feeling that they're going to be harder for me because I abused the AP ranged so, so hard with delves.
Adam Brooks
It isn't really that fun when you have stack spawns everywhere just because you expanded. Also teleporting chaos invasion so fuck you if you had a river crossing defence plan.
That norsca thing in Mortal Empires is easily fixed with the half income for norscan factions mod.
Ryan Green
HE archers are honestly ridiculous, i thought sea guard were shit at first but an army of 20 archers is insane.
Noah Jackson
Tyrion Malekith Kroq'gar Mazdamundi-Morathi They are kinda the same, both are semi good LL and have pretty much same possition and are forced to fight each other Teclis Rats They are so bad and their possitions are so bad it is hard to tell which rat is worse,lack of mount of both rat LL is making them inferior, iam not saying they are not interesting to play tho.
Alexander Allen
>20 archers What de fugggg DDD: Seriously though, they obviously have some damn good air units (that reminds me, harpies are absolute shit EXCEPT FROM when you need to deal with non lizard artillery units immediately) but not having AP must hurt later on.
Skaven at least get a good few units that fire while moving or do anti-large damage on a good range.
Luis Carter
>some basic shit that CA should've put in needs to be modded in a year later
Alexander Scott
TIGAHS TIGAHS TIGAHS
Andrew Williams
>see the potential gameplay value in settlements having limited buildings slot that you need to optimise >still find R1/M2 settlement management infinitely more enjoyable with its relaxed and more realistic/less arcadey style
Evan Nguyen
You might as well just remove city building at that point
The fact that you need to enable an option in M2 to even let you build shit yourself instead of having the AI auto manage everything says a lot
Adam Allen
realm divide in shogun 2 is the most bullshit fucking mechanic ever in any game every fucking faction in the game is spawning fucking full stack high level armies fucking all over the map how the fuck am I meant to progress when all my settlements are being bombarded by massive fucking armies all the time
Camden Sullivan
I have never finished a Shogun 2 campaign
just can't be assed to
Ryan Jenkins
Why aren't we talking about the BEST fantasy game?
Landon Bennett
yeah it's so much fun up until realm divide then it just slows down massively and you have to spend 20 hours slowly crawling your way through the rest of the map while being raped from all angles
Hudson Rodriguez
It's not Total War
Carter Powell
>tfw you are a hardcore fag and you consider Shogun 2 the best TW because it is absurdly hard on legendary. >and you like it
Ryder Williams
Foundation fucking when Don't want to start an empire game until then.
Ryan Taylor
I like the idea of having a lot of options, some of which even visually change the settlement's region. Everything else about it just sucked though.
