>OVERCASTING SPELLS
Double click a spell (it needs to be a boostable spell and you need to have enough magic in the magic pool) to overcast the spell
There's a 50% chance that the caster damages itself though!
>QUEST BATTLE TELEPORT
Select your lord (make sure he isn't garrisoned or in a stance)
Select the quest battle (on the map or through quest log)
There's a button in the bottom right of the quest battle window that you can use to teleport for 5k gold (when the battle's finished you're automatically teleported back to your original position)
>GROUP ATTACK
Group units with ctrl + g
Select your group and right click the enemy
All your units move and automatically direct themselves to and engage enemies they get close to while maintaining formation

Ahhh /twg/… the eternal general
I have seen the end of threads and posts from now shitposters will say...
Here began the fall of /twg/
I was expecting CA to be maximum jew and have a truckload of DLC ready shortly after release but the one time they don't is also the one time where any content would be appreciated
>>146274148
Shut up Atilla, you're dead

>charlemagne was really fucking good
Yes
"Europe was broken
Led astray by false prophets, and torn apart by the petty whims of it's myriad kings.
The people were trapped under the yoke of war injustice and ignorance
But you deposed these tyrants.
With the might of your arms, you tore down thier thrones, and elevated true religion justice and peace in their place.
Now, with one voice, your people hail you, as the first of Europes true Caliphs"

>>146274513
DID I HEAR CALIPH
Friendly reminder that the correct army composition for roman armies is 5 hastati, 5 principes, 3 triarii, 2 velites, and the remaining slots a mix of your choosing, either cavalry/missile/artillery support or socii troops.
>>146274148
The power of the updates was hidden from the many and given to the few. Those who held the golden news grew smug with every kind of bullying.
They were filled with Twitch, Arena and Kingdom. They distracted and delayed. They teased their content and laughed at those who datamined. They did all this and said announcements were Soon™.
And I saw in his hand a game with three releases, the first of which was NoContent.
And behold a pre-order, and he that bought it had DLC and he went forth to bait. The air was filled with despair and shitposting.
I like the chaos army with its focus on elite troops but I'm not a big fan of the horde playstyle.

What other combat mods?
There's one by KAM who's responsible for DeI's combat and the others are by nobodies
dose anyone use pikes in the warhammer universe
Warhammer's utterly retarded lore demonstrates the kind of manchild audience it caters to. Weak-minded, frail, probably fat and scared of reality. Truly the present belongs to the pleb.

Money well spent, samurai cuck.
>>146275473
The AI just really likes to get creative with their recruiting, I wonder how hard it is for CA to make it so the AI will use more of their options.
It can't be THAT difficult to have them recruit more than two types of units.

Any mods that give human pilots to gyrocopters?
Any mods that give gunner or siege or halberd animations to orc models?
Is it possible to add a new race entirely to the game? Say, another random Orc faction you put in the campaign map as a horde?

Shitious doesn't do any of those things, as far as I know.
Anyone tried this mod yet?
"Cataph_The Southern Realms (TEB)"
It adds the southern realms as fleshed out new factions, with new tech trees and units.
>>146275737
>Any mods that give human pilots to gyrocopters?

>Is it possible to add a new race entirely to the game? Say, another random Orc faction you put in the campaign map as a horde?
There already is an Orc horde faction in the game, there are two mods for it on the workshop
Get skull takerz improved faction and faction unlocker orcs. You may not need faction unlocker orcs, so just read the descriptions.
>>146275617
Could also be that faction's doomstack. Much like how Oda tends to get doomstacks filled with the exact same composition of units.
>>146275667
I circled up around him, took Echigo from Uesugi and then basically just let him expand west so that his armies would be too far west to be able to come back in time. Incited a revolt in Echizen so that he couldn't march back without being forced to walk through my land. (We weren't enemies at the time, that is.)
Realm divide hit, and I swallowed his lands. Dealt with Date, took over Kyoto and held everyone off, and won. I was surprised at how easy it is to win as Oda, I had only won previously as Date.
>Beastmen still not added

>le Shitious meme
Radious is garbage, but my Human Celestial Wizard needs a gyrocopter for his flying mount.
So, is there any mods that give human pilots to gyrocopters?
Are there any mods that give halberd and/or gun animations to Orcs so that Black Orc Shootaz and Stikkas can be possible.
>There already is an Orc horde faction in the game, there are two mods for it on the workshop
That's not what I asked. I wanted to know if its possible to add an entirely new faction to the game.
>>146276184
Scatological rapists with goat legs.
>Another day without stuff
So in my next playthrough, I'm thinking of doing a remove-nonhumans run which doesn't end until every human city is conquered, and every Dwarven and Norse city razed.
Problem is, Dwarves tend to snowball, and with AI money, will always have more units, so I'll need to send an elite team as one group in to purge them.
Thinking five stacks will be enough.
I'm thinking like this
9 Steam tanks to serve as frontline
Karl/General on Deathclaw/Griffon
2 Helstorms
2 Mortars
4 Demigryphs
2 Musketmen
I can maybe swap out some steamtanks for Greatswords.
>>146276437
Why not just 19 steam tanks?
>>146276184
Coprophilic furry rapists.
>>146276425
>expecting anything else from CA
The game is great but post launch pr has been complete shit
>>146276184
islamists
>>146276528
19 demi gryphs with halberds much more viable
that way auto resolve won't bug out
>>146276425
And steam sale is tomorrow so they won't release dlc until that finishes.
>>146276128
>a fellow understander of tactics
m'lord
CA fucked up
They took too long to pull DLC out
Fuck this shit they are utterly retarded
I want DLC goddamit
I want bretonnia
I want kislev
JESUS FUCK CA WAKE UP AND GIVE ME DLC
>>146276437
Greatswords are really effective against Dwarves, since 90% of their shit is infantry and armoured, both of whom greatswords shit on.
I'd personally keep only one unit of musketmen to deal with Gyrocopters early on.
Steam Tanks annihilate everything, but are really expensive.
For five stacks of nine, you're looking at 90,000+ as the initial cost for hiring, then about 31000 a turn in upkeep. Your whole army will probably cost about 50,000 a turn. That's prohibitive, unless you've got a fully developed economic Empire
>>146276751
Ah, watch it get a patch + free weekend + DLC
Mark my words
>>146276706
Why Halberds?
Dwarves don't have anything Halberds are more effective against, do they? All their shit is Infantry?
>>146276762
>Bretonnia
>Kislev
Both of these factions are shit. I want dogs of war, so that any playthrough can become interesting.
Kinda interested in Border Princes though, Lot of potential there.
>>146276853
In 2017?
In Shogun, is it better to use blacksmith for defense or offense?
>>146276528
Because I've seen a full dwarven empire run ten full stacks. 200 units.
One stack of steam tanks isn't going to stop that, And I can't afford five.
>>146277076
>>146276528
With steam tanks, should you charge them into combat, or try and use their cannons for as long as possible?
Naval battles with shanties when?
>>146277037
Offense, defense is kinda shit in S2.
>>146276998
armour piercing
>>146277210
>that song
It makes me miss just sailing around in Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, just to listen to the shanties.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEWS5dGSDOc
>>146277183
Depends, but normally, you should try and cannon for as long as possible. Steam tanks are really fucking fast for what they are, basically keeping pace with most heavy cav. They're really good at taking a shot, then kiting. They also never break, so you can literally have 20 steam tanks running round the map, kiting Dwarves. It's hilarious. It's also incredibly easy to snipe the enemy general.
I took out a 3 stack dwarf army once with a single stack of steamcannons, because I just kept kiting and kiting. Even once you run out of ammo, they're very effective in melee combat, wioth AoE attacks and terror.
>Lock them in combat
>rear charge with general on griffon
>unleash bloodcry
>watch anything with less than 60 leadership run away
>>146277389
Lances and Barding also armor pierce. They also have anti-infantry, which ignores armor.
Considering dwarves are a heavy missile race as well, that 30% missile resistance from a shield is nice.
>>146277426
shits i might need to get rogue for more of this
>goblin big boss has a talent to add +6 AP to its 120+ existing AP damage
is there a more shit waste of a point in a tree?
>>146277541
Most of the cav says anti infantry but dont actually have any anti infantry bonuses. I've read anti large and anti infantry doesnt ignore armor. Your probably right that lances would do better, but halberdiers look cooler imo
dead
what is the best cav for greenskins?
>>146278842
savage orc boar boyz big uns
>>146278842
black boar boyz
>>146278842
Grail boyz
>>146278842
black orc arrer boars
>>146277037
>>146277219
Defense, always defense. Get those gold armor Ashigaru, put them in Yari wall and watch them murder everything.
You can then spend your money on expensive cav and bows if you feel like.
Poor little sillykids.
What the fuck am I meant to do in an "even" fight when my reinforcements spawn on the literal other side of the map and his spawn pincering me? I can wipe out the reinforcements on entry but then I'm stuck with a full army in the middle finishing me off and my reinforcements still being half the map away.

I liked playing Cordoba, but that was weird.

>dirty Date fuckers climbing the walls, trying to breach
You are dirty with mud on your knees and palms. Go back to your mountains, you apes. These are Oda lands.
>>146279965
That's because these two Orcs didn't have enough brutal cunning.
>desu desuSuiseiseki?
>>146279965
>>146279257
Another vote for defence here. Warrior monks in armour are an absolute war crime.
How can I actually get into fights with decent armies in Rome? It just levy shit wherever I go.
>>146280227
play dei
>>146279897
It worked!
>>146277037
It depends on your army comp I suppose. I like to slap attack when playing Shimazu to make my katana sam even more killy, but >>146279257 and >>146280205 make good points, since that armour will help you out against the shit tons of arrows being thrown at you.
>>146280205 especially is good advice.
Does anyone else here adore playing with Dwarfs cause of the fireworks?
Ironbreakers and Irondrakes + Artillery makes the battle so satisfying.
>>146280786
Empire is better for fireworks.
Mass Helstorm is great. Once they hit silver experience, somewhat accurate too. Not that effective though, at least not without a solid infantry line.
>>146281618
Oh I love that as well, but I had a Giant slam into my Ironbreakers and the fucker was on fire in seconds. I really love he small fuckers even tho no grudges long campaign is a drain.
I just finished the Chaos Warriors long campaign with all tribes awakened the other day. Felt so empty on the inside so I switched Dwarfs again. They are so fun to play with.

>That's not what I asked. I wanted to know if its possible to add an entirely new faction to the game.

>>146277915
The real question is why you'd bother wasting an army slot on a big boss in the first place.
>>146282227
I see.
Still, a bit silly since even Kislev has still most of its holds.
>>146275272
>the others are by nobodies
so? you can at least try them before writing them off.
>>146282452
Largely because Kislev doesn't slouch on buying walls. Chaos will sniff out lightly garrisoned settlements.
>>146275272

>>146283554
On Legendary as Empire I had some real issues with both the Norse going after me, Vampires at Nuln, Bretannia raiding in fucking Ostermark being a cunt.
It really depends on the game, sometimes it goes your way, sometimes you get shafted from every side. I honestly like the pressure of it, especially with Empire and Dwarfs since being hard pressed is integral part of the feel for both fractions.
Then you get good units and kill all slowly, while some ask for peace, trade, alliance and eventually confed
>>146283554
how else would i train my generals and agents?
>tfw Advisor-san betrays you

>Louen "Why is half my army already routing" Leoncour
>>146284357In the chaos campaign he betrays you, and the bird turns into the Lord of Change
>>146283909
Yes. Sometimes getting an army smashed and a few cities razed is more fun than having a cakewalk. I like getting revenge, I'd play dwarves if their roster wasn't so boring.
>>146282227
>playing Orcs
>chaos armies gets stuck in a stranglehold between me, dwarves, border princes, empire and VC
Also explains why that one northern tribe sailed around the entire world to land 4 stacks up my asshole in the southern badlands.
>>146278842
Matters what you're up against, really. Spider riders are great against anti armor infantry like greatswords, savage boar boyz are good utility, and chariots will punch straight through a dominant defensive line like chosen.
>>146284394
>Manfred von who?
>>146284790
Bjornlings spawn on the south edge of the map during the last chaos wave, they aren't actually from the north end of the map.
>>146284224

>>146284860
God I loved playing WAR. That gay pushback build for Swordmasters with leap was great on bridge and cliff fights.Pure meme.

>>146284224
He should have been the unique adviser to Chaos and everyone else gets flavor advisers and not by the same fucking voice actors. God damn CA needs some new ones.
>>146284550
On Legendary with Dwarfs I had such a hard time. Then longbeards stepped it and the meatgrinder with extra leadership helped me quite a bit.
After Ironbreakers, it was a cakewalk, but I still played it till the end since I really wanted to return EVERY SINGLE GRUDGE, not because of the quest thing, but because I mentally transformed into a Warhammer dwarf.
Fuck them all.

>>146286083
I CAN HEAR IT
>>146286549
I would if other factions would give me military access for less than the cost of the teleport.
>>146286817
iktf
It's kinda similar to VC if you get some good diplomacy going.
Chaos is good only if you wake all the tribes for more fun in the north.
Empire and Dwarf campaigns are only fun ones for me.
When Iceland and Hungary win today, then we'll get the patch tomorrow!
>>146286930
>Caring about military access
Just walk right across their shit. Gives like -10 penalty at most.
>>146287146
Half the time on VH they get super butthurt and declare war or cancel our trade if we have any.
>>146287146
I got like -40 penalty with stirland after marching through their land to purge some vampires because the fucks refused all my offers for military access
>Play Empire
>Vampire Counts declare war on me in the first three turns
>Literally bulldoze a straight line across Stirland to get to Grunburg
>they arrive and take it
>crush them next turn
Why are Vampire Counts so strong early game for the AI? In-game, the only real threat they seem to have are wolves and black knights.
Also, how the fuck do they get armies and garrisons so fast? They took Grunburg and had a full garrison the very next turn. And more than once, I've seen them lose a battle or win it incredibly closely (down to only having a few units left), then have a full stack of 20 units the next turn
>>146287738
They can insta raise army, especially near a large battle spot.
>>146287738
What is it about Grunburg?
>Orcs want it
>Savage orcs want it
>Vampires want it
Also, yeah. Vamps can be really fucking dumb, declaring war on you when you're a whole province away.
>Raiding stance makes you immune to attrition
Holy shit, this is how you're supposed to level Norsca, isn't it?
>>146287738
They can buy units instantly in a region. In a fresh region this is limited to a few skeletons and zombies, but if there's been a particularly bloody battle in the area you can definitely end up having a high tier vampire army materialize out of thin air.
>there are people in this general right now who didn't realize there was a teleport function in the Quest Battle Menu the moment they got their first one
How?
>>146287851
Oh, that explains a lot.
With retard AI economy, being able to skip the normal army raising process seems kind of overpowered.
>>146287851
>>146288138
That's annoying.
I normally hold off on Vampire Counts until I can field Steam Tanks nowadays.
Seven or so tanks can take on two whole stacks.
>>146286195
I love that the general sarcasm level on 4chan means you have to explicitly say
>wait for it to be built and delivered
to preempt smartass replies.
>>146288195
It's kinda OP for the player as well. I would raise armies with tons of low tier stuff, pick fights regardless of whether I could win or not, then raise good shit from the battle casualties. All I had to do was keep a cash reserve to pay for raising, and that isn't hard if you stick a few agents around the capital to make more money.
>>146288195
Economy isn't really a limitation to raising dead, it's already cheaper than recruiting if I recall.
Struggling so much on early game Legendary Dwarves I've resorted to sitting in the corner and whittling down incoming armies with half a stack of Quarrellers, I can't deal with Orc cavalry at all
>>146288178
>there are people in this general right now
>>146285554
I was gutted they didn't have a Goblin advisor for Greenskins at least.
>>146288537
>Corner camping
It's a legitimate tactic, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
>>146287738
>wolves
>a threat
the only thing they can do without dying is chase routing units, which they admittedly great at
How do you counter giants with VC?
>>146288891
send 2 units of zombies/skeletons at it, it'll be busy for the rest of the battle
>>146288727
Even the orcs honor the made up line of the battlefield instead of flanking outside the map
>>146288887
They're pretty good if you have the tech buffs and red skill for them. Even better if the general has the "Creatures of the night" buff.
>>146288178
Dunno, there are literally only two buttons and some people are too lazy to hover over both (or at least the one that doesn't look like 'confirm') to find out what it does.
On the other side, it's exactly those people that deserve to march through all the badlands for the Mannfred quest battles.
>>146288537
When you can, sneak an army north to take mount gunbad. Recruiting artillery at rank 6 is game changing.
>>146288965
sums up VC battleplans versus anything
>is it dangerous?
>swamp it in zombies and worry about it later
So whats it like being in a chaos warrior warband? Do they have a strong sense of comradery?
HAHAHAHAHA
TRAPPED LIKE RATS!
>>146289501
Matters on the warband. If it's tzeentchian or undivided there will be treachery throughout. Followers of khorne can be honorable, but you'll always need to watch for the berserkers. Nurglites and followers of Slaanesh are very united within their factions, though.
>>146288887
Wolves in both Chaos and Vampire armies routinely get the highest kill counts.
I've seen them take on mid-tier infantry like halberdiers solo and win.
>>146289868
He's talking about goblin wolf riders.
>>146289868
halberdiers are low tier infantry at a mid tier price. CA made them secretly attack really slowly
>>146289937
Why would he be talking about goblin wolf riders when I was talking about Vampire Counts?
>>146289951
Even so, a hyper fast skirmish unit with two-thirds the numbers shouldn't be able to basically solo them.
>>146289868
It might be the fact that i played on very hard, but the dogs were useless for me. They would run away as fast as trolls, and generally be useless at anything but chasing down marauder horsemen.
>>146289951
They also melee at a high enough range to attack over each other. Don't thin then out and they'll perform better.
>autoresolve everything in Warhammer
>play MoS, a 60/40 autoresolve phyrric victories me so hard, the entire army except for the general is wiped out.
Good thing the 1 province minor clans in extended Japan are pretty passive or their stacks would have fucked everything up.
>>146289734
those goblins be channeling the spirit of Ramsay
>>146286225
got my collector's edition somewhere..
Comics a best
also the art, everyone doing anything related to warhammer fantasy seems to use the art from WAR
also the miniature is nice
>>146289067
That's pretty much how they played on the tabletop too, zombie tarpits for anything killy, everything else gets stomped by Blood Knights or monsters.
So this is the power of the End Times...

>actually managing to pull them into a straight fight.
Meanwhile, I spent twenty turns chasing Kholek around with Karl Franz and 19 Demigryphs.
>play a lot of shogun 2
>enjoy it
>go and try to play attila
>get put off by how little personality the game has
Not to mention, why the fuck is the game so fucking ugly? Holy shit, it looks so bad compared to Shogun 2.
>It's a "Marienburg attacks with three stacks but one of the reinforcing armies comes behind your army" episode
>>146290865
I had that 3 of their armies against two of my Mod Bretonnia armies with almost all of my army being Grail Knights. What an epic battle.

is it possible to play dwarfs without half stacks of quarrellers?
how do you deal with cavalry as dwarfs?
>>146290571
>That comic
So good. That Empire battle scene was top tier.
>>146291578
What you see is my current tactic for it, sit back, Quarreller the cavalry on approach and hope it breaks so I can shoot another pack
>>146291578
all their shield infantry has defense against charge
>>146291679
I don't see it.
>you're a Bretonnian noble at the Grant Tournament
>this guy slaps your steed's ass
what do you do?
>>146291116
To be fair, I'd run from that shit too.
I've seen Demigryphs rout basic melee units within 10 seconds.
Got ambushed by two stacks, and manage to shatter the first while the second one was still a few hundred metres away, then wheeled around and did the same.
In testing, Demigryphs will route Greatswords in 43 seconds.

>>146291679 Just wondering if there's something better. I'm usually in a square formation, but the orcs keep bringing 6+ cav and they break through my back line and get my grudge throwers locked in melee.

>Holy shit, it looks so bad compared to Shogun 2.
>this meme
it will only look worse if you can only run it on minimum, it looks far better than gooks dipped in vaseline, it also has far more detail in both field and settlement battles and a far better LOD
>>146292481
I'm running both games on Ultra and Shogun 2 looks objectively much better.
>far more detail in both field and settlement battles
And you talk of memes.
>>146292648
You're objectively wrong.
>>146292758

>no u
Does anyone else feel the AI is to opportunistic and not aggressive enough? Sure as shit they will drag their dicks through Vampire Corrupted glass to attack the one unwalled settlement, or declare war when my forces are bogged down across my empire, but they can't be fucked to fight the 20 stack raiding their lands and wiping out their settlements, instead fuck off to who knows where or just sit inside their city.
I've also noticed when their faction capital is threatened, Dwarves especially, they won't beeline straight to defend it, instead they'll dick around doing dumb stuff.
And has ANYONE actually fought a real siege battle? I never ONCE have gotten to be a defender in my cities, the AI will siege for a few turns, and then fuck off for no reason to raid or I'll bring a relief force around. I'd like for ONCE to be able to use my massively modernized Empire army to hold off an attacking force.
>>146292114
Because Attila was the pinnacle of unit diversity, right?
>KAM SIT SHARE MY FIRE

>>146292648
>And you talk of memes.
how is it a meme? battle maps in shogun have nothing, its just a hill and some trees, in Attila there are farms, buildings scattered around the field, a lot of details, shit like pyramids if you are fighting near them. Look at tier4 Constantinople in Attila and compare it to Kyoto in Shogun
>Shogun 2 looks objectively much better.
Simply not true
>>146292969
In ~200 hours I had a SINGLE FUCKING DEFENSIVE SIEGE.
Patch when?
>>146293049
Compared to shogun 2? Yes.
GOTREK & FELIX DLC WHEN
>>146292969
I've yet to play a single Siege defense after 100 hours of play on Empire or Dwarves, they just sit there permanently.
>>146292969
>but they can't be fucked to fight the 20 stack raiding their lands and wiping out their settlements
Exactly what happened in my Orc game when i was wiping out Bretonnia. According to the diplomacy screen they were supposed to be a fair bit stronger than me, yet i never saw a single stack while i raided and razed their lands.
Guess they were all busy in the north or something.
>>146293049
far far more diversity than shogun 2, s2 essentially has 1 faction
in Attila each culture group has a unit roster vastly different from other culture groups, and the EoS has a lot of variety even within one culture group

Only way to get a siege battle is to have T3 walls to give you 15 turns without attrition and then sit and wait until they make 10 towers and 3 rams
heaps of fun dumpstering units with towers though
>>146293532
Me and the AI are balls deep inside Charles' empire and he's not doing shit to stop me.

Blasting charges, irondrake/slayer flank, soften them with cannons / organ guns on the approach.
>>146293312
Legendary bot artillery is pretty bullshit.
>people are talking about that attila looks better than shogun
>despite the fact that shogun 2 has almost one third more graphical options
>all of which change how the game looks rather radically
>the fact that shogun 2 has DX11 while Attila still runs on DX9 isn't obvious enough of a big step in Shogun's direction
>>146293727
Did you spend 4 hours on that?
>>146292648
post a screen. this is from the 1212 attila mod on ultra
>>146293889
>Attila still runs on DX9
So you're resorting to outright lying now?
>>146294136
It is though. Look it up. Rome 2 was running on DX9 as well. Which is why it looks like a muddy mess.

Attila looks pretty comfy sometimes despite all the pillaging and razing
So uh, are Steam tanks meant to be as strong as they are.
Because I just slaughtered about 4000 orcs with 20.

>posts a picture from a mod

You're not helping anybody's case.
>>146294335
With a red spec'd general, they can be pretty overwhelming.
15% Ward Save adds up over 19 units, and with the artillery damage buff, they can snipe generals before they even get close.
>>146294214
>It is though. Look it up.
Not finding shit son. Provide a source, or continue lying through your teeth I guess.
Why couldn't they add night battles into Warham? The mechanic is still there, the lightning strike thing works the same way, the only thing they had to do is to change the lights and add a minor fatigue/morale penalty
>>146292969
I spent 20+ turns chasing around 2 Varg and a Skaeling army through my lands as they raided shit whenever I had to leave for a moment. Finally caught all three inside the pass that splits the north and south of the map with 3 armies and shagged them rotten.
Take that faggots.
>>146294629
they'll be back in 3 turns
sorry, anon
>>146294768
Managed to take out Chaos so I'll at least be able to focus on that for a while.
What's the point of Siege weaponry in Warhammer when 95% of the time it's faster to use a large unit or just a basic unit to break a gate?
>not playing on Ultra unit-size
>>146294480
vampire count always night battles when attacking
would hav ebeen a nice touch
>>146295140
The siege stuff gets shot instead of your units, which is a good thing given how lethal the towers are
>this night apparently looks better than
>>146295230
yep, they could have reversed it with the VC where if they are forced to defend from a regular battle they take penalties
but even if they didnt want to add any penalties out of balance considerations, they could have still kept night battles as a purely visual thing, I wish seasons were a thing in warham too
>>146295336
don't the units inside drop too?
>CA is a UK company

If 6 we wont get a patch until 2017

Brexit will also lead to a ban of all Warhammer and Total War outside of the UK.
>>146295594
Fuck off Cameron.
>>146295581
Only if the seige equipment is destroyed, although I'll have to check whether rams work that way or not since I've never opted for them over siege towers
>>146294341
Fine.
Unmodded Attila on ultra.

>>146295772
poor choice of a background, instead of a flat boring desert you could have picked Constantinople or Ctesiphon, the weeb would then be confonted with the reality that s2 is an ugly game with no settlements whatsoever
a word of advice anon, its pointless to argue with s2 autists, they are even worse than med2 autists
