First for killing my own troops with magic

Remember to play vampires if you have a heart.

Boy this is fun, I really can't stand just skipping turns every now an d then really, and just sacking settlements leaves me incomplete.

post your best screens

...

Let's Greek it up in here

...

I've played every Total war game except Rome 2 due to it being shit when it came out. I'm ready for fresh grand campaign. How to get the most out of Rome 2, what mods and DLCs are a must to get the full experience?

First 0 picks my first campaign faction

zog off

No you git

...

...

Sure

...

...

My Divide et Impera campaign goes well, Ptolemy's hold on the East and Africa is crumbling. Other empires and alliances are rising however

Well modanon? Did the swede finally add you back?

Can someone post that knight waving the banner gif?

you're definitely going to want radious's unit mods
bery gud

I fucking hate new unit cards for Empire Divided. They should've stuck with Rome 2 unit cards.

I only have the qt girl waving banner version

Here is the world from 24 turns (2 years) ago

That's Jeanne d'Arc

I gotchu

My man

Not my eremenos

Reminder to not buy Empire Divided and support History in any way.

>ca tries and fails to make a attila port for r2
should have just made it for attila

...

No eromenos, bro

Is there a single example in history of units of Roman gladiators being recruited into the legions?

They all look so sad. Still better than those awful pottery unit cards though.

>give unit move order
>they do this

this is triggering me

...

...

No. Gladiators were basically the same as modern professional boxers or UFC fighters.

My only problem with Rome 2's cards was that for some reason every faction has unit cards in the style of Greek pottery instead of having ones based on the art style of the culture the faction belongs to.

>naked gladiators
>roman chariots in the 3rd century
>roman pikemen
bravo, empire divided

They hired SFO I think.

...

Legionnaires (Great Weapons) (Fast (For a Gaul))

>Gallic Legionnaire (Armored)(Pikeman)(Fast for a Gaul)

Palmyran Auxiliary Einsatzgruppen (throwing axes)

Holy fuck I'm dying here.

Dem colors.
Different colored units depending on the faction is the best thing that has happened to War II

Brilliant strategic shield and hand placement to avoid showing genitals.

sparta ισχυρός

>roman pikemen
Don't quote me on this but I think Caracalla tried LARPing as Alexander and equipped some legionaries with pikes

Did this actually happen or did I dream it or something

>naked men on triremes
This must be Athens

Dismounted Mounted Roman Pikemen (Armoured) (Throwing Axes) (Fast (for a Roman)

...

>superbly-trained heavy infantry

THE DREW KEY ARE RESTLESS...

...

Does anyone have any idea if there are any good AI recruitment mods?

So goddamn sick of the AI just spamming highest tier units, or fighting 7+ Forest/Black/Star Dragons per stack, and fighting meme AI comps of 10+ Cavalry, or stacks of purely Lothern Seaguard, Chameleon skinks, etc.

I want to fight fun even battles, with the occasional stomp on my end or fighting against a higher tier more elite enemy army.

What I don't want to fight is armies made entirely of Lothern Seaguard, Shades, or Longbeards/Organ Guns in EVERY.SINGLE.STACK.

So again, any mods out there that make the AI a little more fun and balanced in its army comps?

wipe the piss off your monitor mate

>historyfags already nitpicking everything

rofl

what?

>Make a history game
>Spot historical inaccuracies
>Get surprised when this happens
Really?

what did you mean by this

>autism speaks

>play M2 as Spain
>accidentally attack Moores very early, crush them because war
>turns out Portugal was allied to them, attacks me
>attack Portugal
>conquer the whole peninsula
>kill Moores, meanwhile Franks get pissed I'm beating up Portugal
>France attacks
>start conquering France
>the green fucks get angry I'm beating up their friends, attack me
>start conquering them
>Brits get angry I'm beating up France, are about to attack from north
Anyway my point is why are all other factions angry and want to attack me when I've only attacked in retaliation? Literally nobody but the Pope wants to be friends (I build a lot of churches so we're besties)
Also, should I stop and build up once in a while? I've just steamrolled through Western Europe so far so had no need to

>Finally play as Empire
>Fall for the Ultra meme
>Forget that I play on lowest setting at 70% res scale
Boy, it's great to see these tiny dots moving at 10 fps.

are you that one fag who responds to basically every screenshot complaining about a filter even when the screenshot doesn't have a filter?

*unsheathes skavenslaves tarpit on ur elite army while killing u with artillery*

>Skavenslave (Shortsword)(Collared & Hooded)(Fast for a rat)

Finally.

what's the best wizard for queeks army?

>AI better recruitment / better army Composition 2.0 by Serial

>00 Better AI Army Compilations and Recruitment by Minos

>AI Recruitment & Army Compositions by Helljumper

Anyone here use any of these? I just need something that'll deal with some of the retarded spam some factions do later in the game, and I don't want the game to devolve into Highest tier possible doomstack vs highest tier possible doomstack

...

Warlock Engineer and an Assassin are usually the only two heroes I bother with

>ca claims that the saga game will feature a level of gameplay change similar to shogun to -> fots
>its basically AoC 2.0
How in the fuck is it going to be any different than Charlemagne, especially when you consider that there aren't any cav heavy factions on the isles until the normans show up at the end of the campaign time period?

Better AI Army Compilations and Recruitment by Minos
I use these
the result seems pretty good, even norsca has stopped using meme stacks

>yfw you're Thanquol
>yfw you're being left alive by the other races because you're incompetent
>if you died someone smarter would take your place and they don't want that

>imperial guard cav have these god tier stats
>almost never use them except to chase down routers since most battles are defensive due to arty

>implying the normans will show up
This saga game is just a way for them to get away with doing less work with the excuse "it's just a minor sega game not a main game what do you expect"

>tfw Thanquol still not released despite Bonebreakers being in the game and Grey Seers being in the game

STAND YER GROUND

>Thanquol still not released

That's not the problem.
The problem is that Fantasy is dead.

>im sure to win because my speed (for a dwarf) is superior

Norsca never ever

can someone please tell me how to aim spells like seafang or flaming skull?

Engineer is bretty gud

how did i do lads?

hold left mouse and move

STOP SPAMMING
STOP SPAMMING
STOP
SPAMMING

I'm more worried about CA doing jack shit to improve ME.
If it keeps going like this we're gonna get a clone of I. There is so much stuff to improve with minimal effort.

Point the line straight at your own infantry and fire

Well at the very least we're getting the Reprisal Update. Otherwise we have SFO and other mods to do CA's work for them

how do i change direction though?

can't aim in wh1, only wh2, so if you are playing one and trying to aim seafang you can't

IF you are playing wh2, you hold the left click when placing the spell and move your mouse around to aim it

>Otherwise we have SFO and other mods

Mods can only change stuff I don't need to be changed.

I fucking need
>land battles at sea (on island, black arc, frozen sea, what the fucking ever)
>revamped Chaos Tide invasion (Chaos strength increasing and not based on player's expansion)
>better diplomacy system

>can't aim in wh1
goddamnit

>>land battles at sea (on island, black arc, frozen sea, what the fucking ever
never gonna happen
>>revamped Chaos Tide invasion (Chaos strength increasing and not based on player's expansion)
never gonna happen
>>better diplomacy system
never gonna happen

even if they were 100% focusing on warhammer 2, none of those things are ever gonna happen.

urg hold left mouse and move the fucking mouse to change direction

Those are unrealistic expectations if I ever saw any. I think CA's done a pretty good job of making clear the standard they've set with WH2's semi-bungled post-release period. Don't forget that ME is for all intents and purposes a beta right now, seeing as it doesn't even have content that's already been released for WH1 in it.

just realized you can't in WH1, which explains the confusion
>urg
go back to neofag

Rats...
