I had a huge war of attrition against them, eventually after many turns of; attacking, retreating, replenishing, attacking etc..They began requesting peace, knew I had them on the ropes so kept at it Imperial Guard style. Throwing army after army into sylvania until only castle drakenhoff remained. They asked to become my vassal the turn I was about to re-enter sylvania. Accepted as the northmen were becoming a nuisance in the north. Dwarfs hate me now but oh well, who cares about the stunties.

My only complaint thus far is how heavily it seems the AI favors skirmishing units (Marauder Horsemen / Pistoleers / etc), and how the only real way to counter a skirmishing unit is your own skirmishing unit that can chase them.

At least as Chaos, that's all I've found. Dogs can chase them the entire map but will never catch. Other horsemen just cancel them out.

Also when you set your own skirmishers to skirmish, they will run a little ways when someone gets in range, then stop. They do not re-engage on their own - you have to manually tell them to attack again unless something is chasing them.

10 hours thus far, all of it on the Chaos campaign. First time around started fucking with humans and Karl Franz decided he wasn't going to have that and as soon as I started seiging Kislev, EVERY HUMAN FACTION with a max stack showed up to wreck my shit.

Second time around decided that wasn't a good idea and figured I would awaken all the tribes - so I rolled along the North coast and wrecked a ton of Northmen shit. Got Archaon to around 20-25, had everything but the top tier. Chosen, etc.

Then Tzeentch pops up and says "hey nice army, would be a shame if something happened to it" and shits out a lord of change and a 1000 man elite army that makes a beeline straight for Archaeon and while I won, it was only at the loss of basically my entire force, meaning I got picked off shortly thereafter.

TL;DR - Chaos is hard.

Just make an army with lots of crossbows and catapults. The ai is a retard and will keep sending units to man the walls, allowing you to pick them off.

... Just maintain the siege? Eventually they start taking huge attrition damage and then you can fight them when they're at half strength.

Except he isn't. If you don't think Ashigaru spam or arrow siege spam is casual as fuck and breaks Shogun 2 then you are so bad at Total War that you really shouldn't give an opinion on it.

And every TW game is like that except Attila and Warhammer, really.

So I'll play as orcs first then much later do an Empire (my favourite) game once things are deepened

No you can't, if you set a unit just outside a bowmans view range and then walk an archer around his back to fire on him then he will move to get out of the fire instead of sitting in it like a retard.

Then you will enjoy this.

Things removed: sanitation(useless mechanic until Skaven gets announced), family trees(useless mechanic, the game doesn't work in years, nobody ages as time doesn't move forward, and if it does its incredibly slow).

Nvidia high ends have been reported(here) with some issues, AMD CPU have been reported with some issues. Yet, people with high end Nvidia and AMD CPU have been also reported to run the game perfectly with no issues.

Everyone agrees optimization is better than ever.

Hardly any crashes, the crashes reported were people using mods.

This. I don't know if CA is trying to repent for their past sins and take their game series into a new direction with this or not. But it sure as hell makes me feel hopeful that they will try to move into a more Total War-like direction from now on.

The campaign map should be about agents, province loyalty, and troop recruitment. Nothing more. And all of these 3 are directly related into warring, which is what total war was about since its conception.

Economics and supply are part of wars, and its also comfy to slowly build up your kingdom. It gives incentives for gaining certain regions. Some of us like both economics and war in the same game. The Warhammer MW2 mod had the full economics of the base game and gave reason to seize things like warpstone with merchants or gain ports

It's not an either/or thing, you can have both in the same game for a deeper game. Pic related, the peak of TW

Is that a Rome 1 overhaul? Rome 1 was indeed the peak of the series.

From Rome 1 to warhammer the only thing missing is the family tree which wouldn't work in warhammer. Praise the gods they stopped the cinematic 1v1 fights and the battles are now more like Rome 1.

I miss Rome 1.

This is what anon said. If he liked pillaging and raping and sacking as much as I did in Attila. Then yes, he would indeed enjoy Warhemmer. As warhammer is Attila without the stupid annoyances it had.

That was my basis for that sentence. Sorry if it confused you.

Yes, I beat the shit out of 3 of their armies in quick succession and wrecked Mannfred in 2 of those. Now they just have Drakenhof and Essen in Ostermark. My agents have lowered the corruption in their own territories to about ~20% so they take attrition whenever they're out of their cities/encampments, yet Mannfred still has an army following and reinforcing me while I destroy the overrun orc cities in the mountains directly east.

Everyone's rooting for the High and Dark Elves, but anyone who's ever played WHF knows that Wood Elves are one of the staples of the gameplay with their mix of mobile but fragile skirmishers/archers and sluggish super-sized units. They're the original fucking space muhreens, gameplay-wise.

WHF without Wood Elves would not really be WHF. But then again, GA probably quavers at the thought of having to program Wardancers.

In terms of gameplay

WE are fragile skirmishers with lots of tricks, wardancer buffs, and tree regen. Deldar on tabletop remind me of this. Fast, precise and frail

Space marines are tough, few and reliable. More like Brettonia or Ogres

Well yes, there obvious ways to bully the AI, but at the same time the economics and finances were made difficult for the player to compensate.

And that still exists in this game. Starting as Empire? if you want to not be a bitch you take Marienburg because it has the best port in the map. Certain regions have resources that give it unique buildings that give a bigger economic bonus than the basic building does, likewise some regions have buildings that have unique military buildings that give certain units better bonuses (Chapterhouses, Nuln gunnery school, etc). Complaining about economic depth then posting pre-empire TW is stupid, because all buildings did in those games was offer a straight bonus too, there was just more shit to build to stack your income more.
