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)

Ahhh /twg/… the eternal general
>>
I'll look at it today. My little brother is collapsed in the hospital but I don't have the ability to see him. He can't afford medical insurance so might lose his house; my older sister is vanished and possibly suicide, possibly simply ran off to Mexico. These things are normal in my life, adding to the "you're living in a soap opera, but its not quite real, nothing is" sense of frustration. I feel like my purpose is to finish this that I started 35 years ago, so I can die, after which I'll be sent to hell, probably to wake up inside someone else's scripted world, much like you're stuck in mine. I'm relatively young, at age 55, but with no prospects for work and no real future. I can't believe in God as the old testament has him, as the paradigm of solving society's problems by Hitler's ovens seems the antithesis of all God actually stands for. Thus my personal blend of religion severs Christ from the old testament, in that hell is something imposed on political prisoners and prisoners of conscience, or otherwise the Quislings that would pitch their neighbors to be burnt, like sonderkommando (imprisoned Jews in the deathcamps) operate the gas chambers and ovens. This to me is the church where each person hears how the sinners should be burnt -- and of course they too are sinners. So to me, the true church is one that seeks God unchained from such paradigms - it is this clinging to the past that seperates us from God. I think of things like this each night and wake up further from happiness; such a dark outlook I have. I have no hope. I expect the worst from people. I wonder if when we eat meat these are people recast into a form as punishment, since even God is ashamed of hurting people, but does as he is commanded by his clients, the good computer he is. Anyway, how is your day?

EDIT: and my younger brother recovered and was released after 5 days. My OLDER brother has a birthday, but he's homeless so I'll not get to write or talk to him.

TSFH are great but really repetitive, one of the two guys that write the music is keen on the LOUD IS BEST rule, which conflicts with the other guy (Bergerson) who has some talent and writes stuff that doesn't just exist to deafen you.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASj81daun5Q (DRUMS, LOUD IS BEST, Nick Pheonix)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbdTeKo14Jw (Bergerson, still trailershit, but much more interesting).

Audiomachine is similar and suffers from the same issue (Who would have thought two companies that produce trailer music would get repetitive?), and they use a lot more violins and softer instruments, so it doesn't burn you out straight away like TSFH.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhgS45l19XA

The examples I linked get across my point fairly well. Lots of people seem to make 1 hour mixes of this kind of music, all from different artists, so if it interests you I'd recommend just flicking through some and finding something you like.

>>146799123

There have been numerous undisputable masterpieces in total war modding, such as the strikingly realistic classic Europa Barbarorum or its medieval counterpart Stainless Steel. Radious mod will not join their ranks; its surface is too generic, its presentation too provocative and its messages too obscure. Its take on the abysmal is an illumination in one person’s despair, but a paroxysm of another’s perversion. It will remain underground – treasured by the most avant-garde among intellectuals for its edifying if horrifying insight into the fundaments of human morality. Philistines and self-proclaimed critics alike will shun Radious mod, but you can’t fault them for that. It takes wisdom to appreciate its subtleties, and courage to side with the unpopular opinion. Sed domi maneas paresque nobis novem continuas fututiones.

Superficially, Radious mod appears to be a mod which caters to the most proletarian among men; aloof critics dismiss it as such often without a second thought. As complacent as these self-proclaimed "understanders of strategy" are, they fail to realize that Radious mod is a cult classic, a chef d'oeuvrea buried under false preconceptions and unfounded criticism. This gem is hidden because it does not shine; it is buried because its tone is that of abyssal black. Radious mod pries into to the darkest corners of our subconscious, the most visceral of our cognition, the most carnal of our urges, and the most primal of our instincts.

As brilliantly put by Cattalus, "Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo"; to describe the artistic qualia of Radious mod would be to describe music to the deaf, color to the blind or beauty to the philistine. The painting speaks for itself, and it is up to the player to fully absorb its depth. Its sublimity will ever be debated yet always remain objectively irrefutable; the fundamental insight it provides into human and perhaps animalistic nature may shape the basis of Total War modding for centuries to come.

Radious is just plain shit, never use it for any game.

"Which TW Do I Buy" Anon here from last thread, just found out I already had Medieval 2 from a Humble Bundle -- who fucking knew?

Resolved to pick up Kingdoms for it, probably passing on Empire (but I can't tear my mind away from the historical shenanigans I would wreak).

>>146798561
Cleared up the R2/Atilla fiasco for me fast there, thank you. All I knew about both of them was the immense shitstorm upon release. Now that I'm looking deeper, it sounds like people are finally satisfied with the two.

With that, and seeing the sale price for Atilla ($11), I think I'm just gonna go for it. Shogun 2 blew my mind and this seems like the closest I'll get, and I'll have M2+K for the odd urges.

That said, any essential DLC I should be worried about before buying?

Alright fuckers, time to do the thing you've all been talking about. I'm doing the Fall of the Samurai traditional units only run.

What mods do I use, and what do I consider traditional? Do matchlock samurai and ashigaru count? Sabre cav wears a uniform but isn't exactly doing anything particularly new to the japs, can I use them? What kind of ships can I use? Do I refrain from upgrading past tier 2 tech to keep my generals traditional, or set even more/less limits? What else should I consider before I start?

>>146800390
Matchlock samurai would imo count but they're absolute trash so I'm not really sure why you'd bother. When you say 'matchlock ashigaru' do you mean levy infantry? If so, then I would say that they don't really count, no. They seem too 'industrial' a unit to really be traditional. Sabre cavalry is not traditional as they use sabres rather than the glorious katana.
I'm not really sure you CAN have a navy. It depends on how puritanical you are being about the whole 'traditional' thing, but FOTS navies are universally pretty modern. Foreign Affairs is a tier 2 tech, right? If so, I would consider allowing yourself a very limited supply of modern soldiers and ships to represent the frogs lending you military assistance. But that might be too shamful for you, I suppose.

Depends on RNG and how well you handle reforming the empire. You can have a really good first ten turns and become the pillar of the world, or take some big losses to barbarians, sassanids and huns early and end up with a very interesting campaign. If you can get on good terms with either the sassanids or the Huns, you've pretty much guaranteed the win.

As starting units, Manny and the Varghulf are way more useful in deleting Lords and having you win battles you really have no right to win. If you pick Heimrich, unlocking Mannfred is as easy as taking both Sylvania provinces though, so you'd just be losing out on the Varghulf.

Wraiths are good but generally only one or two squads of either. If you can spam invocation on them they are amazing, but if you're not going to micro them expect them to evaporate on you.

Not really. They're quite fragile.

Honestly, zombie spam is the most effective way to campaign with Vampire counts.

You don't need strategy when you outnumber your opponents three times over with unkillable meatshields.

Just grab two to three units of heavy cav, some bats and go to town with zombies.

You'll win almost every fight by raw attrition.

Should I spam Reiksguard or demigryphs in campaign?

With the numerous upkeep buffs for Reiksguard, I kinda feel I should use them. I can have nearly twice as many.
>>
>>146816050

Neither. Spam team tanks.

Reiksguard are pretty good in the campaign, because the enemy so rarely produces the kind of elite units needed to stop them. In particular, you can run rampant all over the dwarves with swarms of Reiksguard.
>>
>>146816050

Demigryphs are more cost-effective since you'll lose less. Because those fuckers are half-immortal.

No. Think you got the Greenskins on the ropes? About to conquer that last settlement? Nope, they just confederated with some tribe of faggots and just teleported a full stack some rando settlement of yours.

No they wouldn't, mainly because they didn't exist up until the latest edition of warhammer(the 8th,2010) which is like 10 years after the Bretonnians stopped having their own army book (6th edition,2000)

They're basically not from the same game at that point

I ask you: Do you want total war? If necessary, do you want a war more total and radical than anything that we can even imagine today?

Radious mod is not a mod to be taken literally. It is saturated with an abundance of metaphors and symbolism; some painfully and intentionally obvious whiles others painfully subtle. It is not particularly intelligent and never makes any attempts at being profound. Although occasionally nonsensical and gratuitously pornographic, it would be wrong to judge Radious mod on its face value alone.

Radious mod is the ugly duckling: scorned for unsightliness, but an ethereal swan from the start. It is a fairytale of vibrant colours and simple joys. It truly is that brilliant painting of which a fleeting glimpse you catch, but an enduring impression you get.

In conclusion, I do not think Radious mod deserves all the ridicule and hatred that is being dished out. The stringency and inadaptability of the traditional historical and lore friendly approach practiced by so called "understanders of strategy" is to blame for this. Hoc salsum esse putas? fugit te, inepte: quamuis sordida res et inuenusta est. Radious mod is unshackled from such rigidities and doing so through homosexuality rather than the vapid norm, it sheds light on the enigma which has eluded psychologists for centuries.

Nun, Volk, steh auf und Sturm brich los!

I think the economic/grand strategy side of the game takes skill and forces you to make choices between what you want to do, same with the number of skillpoints you get for a character. Radious throws that balance out the window in favor of essentially giving you infinite money.

Uninspired and repetitive as mods nowadays are, many a disillusioned fan don’t hesitate to call out the medium as fallen. Along comes Radious mod, the latest entry to modding self-critique and introspection.

On the surface Radious mod seems like your ordinary mod which is seemingly unremarkable but whose charm is so irresistible yet so subtle, that the people who've played it cannot but fall for it, much to the frustration of some self proclaimed "understanders of strategy" who cannot see any logic to these affections. Os et labra tibi lingit, Manneia, catellus: non miror, merdas si libet esse cani.

Unlike our hack-ridden mod industry, Radious Mod uses metaphors in an excruciatingly subtle way. Sharp-eyed spectators should be able to spot the humanistic properties Radious mod displays.

Radious mod is a self-aware and self-referencing work. It points out the flaws and implausibilities which often plague its genre, yet offers no alternative. Though criticized for conforming to its genre without innovation, composing the rest of the mod with uninspiring features essential in achieving what Radious mod wishes to do. While it does highlight the unrealism which plagues the modding community, it also serves to illustrate the irrationality of passion and infatuation, which which is shown by the hatred often spewed at this masterpiece. Poor Radious is left with naught, but to hunger evermore.

The team is aware of the flaws and tropes in their work, but artistic integrity has to be weighed against the harsh market. Even so, no artist wishes to make hollow trash as much as “understanders of strategy” so often may think. Behind these stories are genuine emotions, far more so than half-assed criticisms by blind followers of objectivism.

I don’t think this mod justifies an arbitrary rating of stars; it’s much better than that. It deserves a place among the highest modern philosophical works of our world. "Nietzsche, thy name is Radious."

You've gotten this ironclad idea in your head of how the game is "supposed to be" The developers are just as human as you or I, and they're no closer to perfection than you or I. The alterations added by Radious have unlocked the tactical potential of all the armies. Why are you so content to stay shackled to the outdated paradigm espoused by Creative Assembly? It's time to spread your wings little one, and leave the nest. There's a whole wide world of tactical experiences, just waiting for you to explore it
