Could be that they were the only competent ones. Either way I wouldn't complain if they did three things
Prove that it does not look at anything on my computer including hardware ever, only the game itself
Release demos for games
Get rid of the excessive DLC and teach normies self control

Of course that will never happen because of said lack of self control, because if people realize how shit games are they won't buy them and the only way to guarantee demos is to make them required by law which is a terrible idea and end up being totally broken at worst, and loopholed to hell at best. And I doubt they wouldn't want to look at the computer because muh advertisan bucks.

Shogun 2 had the same problem at launch.

Often the AI would just run their guys to exhaustion if the balance bar was heavily in their favor.

Also the total war ai is notoriously shit.

According to the reviewers and twitch it looks rather optimized.

>>
>>338461941
It's really amazing how little they've been able to improve it over ten years and have given up on trying to fix persistent issues, instead removing the mechanics the ai couldn't handle.

I recall the ai in Roma Surrectum 2 being surprisingly good. The mod made fatigue really important and battles last for eons and ai would do a decent job of keeping units in reserve and then throwing in the fresh unit when everyone was exhausted or countering flanking attacks,
>>
>>338461862
Only a retard gives money for a game before it is released and only a ultra super retard gives money for a CA game before it's released.
>>
>>338461862
The worst release CA ever did was Rome 2 and before that was Empire.

Rome 2 was legit unfinished and garbage in every way at launch. It's an okay, mid-tier title after all the balancing and patching now.

Empire just ran like fucking garbage and was the first run of the warscape engine, which while it was designed for gunpowder still had bugs that weren't fixed till the release of Nappy.

All CA games have balancing problems at launch. They're always huge games, so the launch always comes with bugs and a lack of polish from units.

Since you don't have to preorder for the Chaos, follow my advice and don't buy day-one. Wait a day or two to see if it's another Rome 2 (trust me if it is, the shitposters in /v/ will be on it at midnight). if it isn't, it's up to you. Waiting a year will ensure you get the best version of it. Buying now puts you on the cultural zeitgeist and means that your threads of it won't be pushed to page 10.
>>
>>338462141

It's fine man.

I was stung hard by R2 as well, but this is different, clearly they've learned from their failure.

Watched lots of Dev commentaries, they've worked hard to optimize it this time around so it should run better than R2 did by a wide margin.
>>
>>338462285
>Dev commentaries
Of course they are going to say they've optimised the game. They said the same fucking thing for Rome 2.
>>
>>338461528

>Why can't you just walk towards ranged?

Ask anyone who fought the Persians. Mass volleys of ranged attacks against slow moving (even heavily armored) opponents means your ass is your going to win by a landslide.
>>
>>338462156
They've had the same AI director forever if I recall. Also the AI's flaws become increasingly noticeable the more skilled you are at the game.

If you're the guy that just blobs units because you can't strategy, the ai is adequate.

But anyone who knows Totalwar mechanics is just gonna dominate it.

I don't know if they keep it stupid so casuals aren't scared off. After all Shogun 2 did the ai the best and it was a hill-camping faggot. That'd probably frustrate a newbie when his elite army is buttfucked by an ai that just sets up a proper defense.

Or it could just be incompetence. Which CA had plenty of in Rome 2.

Don't listen to the commentaries. They're rigged and all around just marketing tools.

Only difference is they're spelled Orcs instead of Orkz, and Goblins can actually make up a major part of the fighting force, unlike Gretchin in 40k.

Other than that, Orks without guns is a pretty good way to think of them.
>>
>>338462691
They said Warhammer wouldn't have modding. Then they added modding and took the Xcom 2 route and endorsed some official mods. I don't really care, having any modding support is better than none.

>>338462729
The hill humping made a lot of the battles feel more like sieges to me. It was intelligent for the AI to do and was cute the first time, but the AI lacks any sort of adaption, which is an always will be the problem for Totalwar. It can hill-camp, but once you're hard countering that tactic, it doesn't know how to do anything else unless the map doesn't support it. In sieges it always rushes instead of sieging intelligently. I feel Shogun 2 had the best AI in the end, but it had a lot of shortcuts to displaying this intelligence and it was ultimately a shallow intelligence at that.
>>

Rome 2 handled the province system badly, but the same concept was implemented much better in Attila and hopefully in Warhammer. The squalor/sanitation shit mechanic has been removed.

You must remember the average gamer is fucking trash at games. I am not surprised half the reason they made the AI retarded is so people won't cry as hard. Once someone came into /twg/ and started complaining why the AI blocking streets to create chokepoints in sieges was a bad idea.
>>
>>338462962
Yea, I got the joke even when I was typing it. It's hilarious that hill-camping is about the best the total war ai can do and has ever been able to do in all the years it has existed. Meanwhile you have modders that just spent a few months and suddenly you have a compentent ai to play virtual war with.

>>338462994
I like some of the realism, but stuff like RS2 and EB always struck me as asking too much of my time.

I suppose the biggest problem we have is that totalwar is kinda niche. It's the most successful and well-regarded of its lot despite the myriad problems but apparently the only way to maintain that status is the dlc out the ass and bend over backwards to keep as many fans as possible.
>>
>>338462979
No, orcs can't into gunpowder weaponry or motorized engines, goblins are their equivalent to gretchin but are smarter and a few are even cunning enough to lead a few WAAAGHs, also there are at least 3 kinds of orcs, black orcs who can make their own decent armor/weapons and will occasionally think tactically though they have little in the way of personality, your standard orc, and savage orcs who think stone tools and weapons are traditional and shit like armor and metal weapons are down right un orcy.
>>
>>338463493
If you watch 90% of the streamers playing it right now, you can confirm this. It's so frustrating watching all of them select their whole army and give them an attack order on 1 unit like this is starcraft and then getting surrounded and losing.

AI variables are moddable. It's why Darthmod and other AI mods could even exist.

It's just if anyone wants to mess with it. You have guys like Radious who do ai-tweaks, but I never saw any of his work as being great.

And yes the AI is salvageable. It's been shit since Rome 1, but you have some great releases in Medieval 2 that made the AI not only compentent but better than later total wars with 'good' ai.

>>338463232
It was a wargame with bad mechanics serving as a sequel to a game with mechanics that are worlds apart from it.

They killed the historical-fantasy of Warhammer to make a setting that stands out more and how they did is with the End Times, which despite the unit update has some very questionable lore and conclusions that are unsatisfying for just about everyone but chaos players.

It's also modern GW, so it's expensive as shit as well as being just another flavor of 40K
>>338463493
>>338463727
I still think this might be a reason that the ai hasn't been improved. If it isn't than it's massively convenient to be shit at programming an ai to inherent a fanbase that is 90% composed of people select-all>charge.

It's questionable. I don't use the word shit, because there are some good bits. But End Times was overall botched, which didn't give AoS any leeway to suddenly destroy every core concept that kept people clinging to Fantasy.
>>
>>338461528

Because the reason the AI runs towards you is that some starting legendary lords get an artillery unit in their starting army. When you have this advantage they run towards you to minimize the time it has to fire at them, if they'd walk their entire army would be crippled by the time they'd arrive

There's plenty of videos out there right now where the player doesn't have an artillery unit in their starting army and the AI instead decides to take a favorable position on a hill if there's one, meet up with its reinforcements or otherwise. It's not completely retarded

In short, they took a very niche though long lasting and arguably enjoyed wargame about throwing regimental blocks of units at one another balanced by points into a """"skirmish""" based game that has no balancing method other than 'Maybe you can tell your opponent to not put down his $4000 army compared to your $500 force', and feels rather spiteful to fantasy players because they removed a few factions that a lot of people liked in fantasy even if they were dated and deadish.

dorfs hold a grudge over everything and everything. They waged a war against the empire because they were mispaid by one gold piece when they made a fortress for the empire. One gold piece.

The empire is well, the empire and that means its beset on all sides by everything and things just aren't letting up for it, ever. Smelly french peasants and knights, vampires, orc warbands, skaven skitteirng around in their sewers, chaos incurions, beastmen in the woods, heretics and cults in the smaller towns.

There is no safety in the empire.

No, they didn't even intend to end up as skeletons in the first place. Nergash, the first Necromancer, is their leader's mortal enemy.
Settra the Imperishable, essentially the Pharoh of Pharohs, was offered a chance to become a Chaos God in exchange for service.
He told Chaos to fuck off and swore to kill them for daring to offer him servitude.

Dwarves are spiteful creatures and lust for gold and treasure. They are hard headed as well. They had a brutal war with the Elves called the "War of the Beard" that deserves some looking in to. Dwarves generally try to be positive characters but when shit gets under their skin they don't let go and commit themselves to do or die situations more than anyone. And if they get a chance to plant an axe in some asshole they truly hate and it costs them their long lives, most would do it gladly. Also, there are troll slayers. They literally are on suicide watch all day. They have dishonored their people somehow, and taken up the slayers code to seek an honorable death. They will attack a large fuck off monster, while laughing and chanting Dwarven song. Dwarves are constantly doing brutal tunnel fighting with the Greenskins and Skaven. If you don't understand what a tunnel fight is.. its basically a wall falls in the under ground mines, 2 factions are now looking at each other... they rush head long in to battle and grind a brutal fucking death party out for what could be hours, if not weeks.

Autistic midgets. Not joking. They hold grudges that are centuries old and no matter how many people die, or how futile it ends up being a dwarf always settles a grudge in the end. Therefore their whole empire is falling apart due to autism while skaven, orcs, and chaos batter down the walls. Furthermore they are stubborn. They would have plasma rifles by now if they weren't fucking neets that wouldn't lay down old tech.

>Empire
The blueprint for the imperium. Anything that could kill a man is at war with the empire save dwarves, elves and some minor human nations and even that is just generalizing. Beastmen infest every woodland so villages and towns are constantly pillage and the folk slaughtered or carried off for carnal reasons. Every city is churning round the clock with class conflict and propaganda to get ready for the end times. Witchhunters are basically inquisitors, and they're necessary at that. Humanity is fighting a doomed struggle for survival. The food tastes bad and to top it all off, everyone that matters is obnoxiously german.

It's more grimdark than just about any other fantasy setting that isn't post-apocalyptic, but it has "good" and "bad" factions unlike 40k where everyone is a giant ass

except Tau

Empire for instance is an oppressive feudal society, but the Emperor genuinely cares for the commonfolk and justice and they aren't genocidal dogmatic maniacs like the Imperium in 40k.

The leeway to destroy core concepts of Fantasy is that it's not Fantasy and so far hasn't been trying to be. I don't why some Fantasyfags seem to constantly expect things to be 1:1 with Fantasy and then get salty when only a few things are kept and the rest is a mix of new and drawn from 40k.
