Not at all because I'm stuck at work and also won't have any time to play later today.
Just fucking kill me.

isnt performance awful on most computers?
The streamer I've seen had terrible stuttering; also his framerate kept dropping
>>
>>338711009
No, its actually the opposite
Performance is very good

Dealing with rebellions as orks. Doesnt help that Grudgebearer is leading an attack on my smaller settlements whilst other ork clans raid my capital. Thank god for the WAAAAGH mechanic so I can use a free doomstack to help me clear stuff up.

You have to keep fighting to avoid rebellions

Unfortunately it's kind of like that for all the factions, they begin by having to unite the rest of their race under their banner before they can properly knock heads with one another.

I already bought Rome 2 on release and I ain't getting shafted from these turbocunts anymore.
>>
I've been tossing the idea of buying it back and forth in my head, is it actually worth it?

Long time Total War player, but Rome 2 really killed my interest, and my computer, and this is building off of that.
>>
>>338709427
Wow, looks like they finally brought true kinetic energy into the warscape engine. Nice. Remember Empire where everyone would just rub against each other and drop dead?

>>338714029
You can wait a few days. No need to buy it right now.

They are releasing it as three fully priced games because so it's more like mountains of DLC on top of the $150 you already paid for the complete experience.

>>338714027
When any of the faction they add have more work than 20 factions of any previous game, its understandable that we don't get many factions that all require unique texture work, models, animations, buildings, mechanics, and basically so much more than before. They could just take a faction, change the color of their armor and be done because every faction was so similar in other games.
In this, Empire isn't just Empire. People under Empire/Human have alot of unique differences like Kislev or Bretonnia. Bretonnia is free DLC so whatever.

They could probably add 10 more Attila factions before they even get halfway through Ogre Kingdoms or Lizardmen.

If I can run Shogun 2 comfortably and be happy with the graphics, can I lower Warhammer to an equivalent graphical level (as in it looks as good as Shogun 2) and expect the same sort of performance?
>>
>>338714457
I suppose at the very least this is more indicative of a dev fuck up, rather than them being lazy niggers and leaving in blatant bugs.
>>
>>338711009
The performance is awful on AMD computers. Far from most.

When will people learn to never buy CPU intensive strategy games on an AMD and expect good performance? AMD doesn't produce good hardware, they produce adequate hardware for cheap. Anything that pushes their shit more than "average" annihilates it.

I'm sorry that my CPU can handle a CPU intensive strategy game and yours cannot. AMD hardware is adequate for most games since very few are CPU reliant these days, but you should have read the specs and realized what was going to happen.

Yeah, you should have no issues.

The only other thing is the load times are apparently quite long on a HDD, but most people have swapped to at least one SSD by now, so that shouldn't be much of an issue for most. If you don't have one you can snag up a 120gb SSD for ~25-30$US and just install your current games on it.

I mean, what's the fucking point of lower settings in games if it's gonna look more shit than its predecessor and still run like ass.

Nah, I'm perfectly fine, I've played every TW since RTW and I don't have a toaster so I can delude myself because I can't run the newer games.

It also allows me to do comparisons shots for when kids like you show up, maybe if you beg enough daddy will buy you a new PC.

>>338718534

The Attila screenshot is even from farther away...and it's not even on max settings.

Yours is a moot point anyway, Shogun 2 has no enviorments whatsoever to compare to Attila, Rome II or whatever, so there's nothing to cherrypick, had I cherrypicked I would have taken a screenshot of the ridiculous "castles" shogun 2 has, a series of walls with literally fuck all in them and a small building at the very centre.

That doesn't even make sense. You can and do delude yourself but it has nothing to do with your computer, it's a biological thing, little anon. So, like I asked, are you taking meds for it?
>>
>>338718792

But it makes perfect sense, you delude yourself because you are excluded from it, it's the typical children mentality "I didn't like it anyway!"

And when confronted with the truth you refuse to acknowledge it, just like a child you cover your eyes and ears.
>>
>>338718684
How is my point moot when a game on the lowest settings will look ten times worse and still run ten times shittier?

It's just shit optimization of lower settings, if you can't admit that you're just a fucking shill.
>>
>>338719113


>How is my point moot when a game on the lowest settings will look ten times worse

It doesn't? Have you been reading/looking at the screenshot? And your point is moot because had I wanted to cherrypick I would have taken Kyoto and Constantinople and made a comparison, but I'm not that mean.

> if you can't admit that you're just a fucking shill.


Ah you're a fucking retard, sorry for wasting my time
>>
>>338718898
>it's the typical children mentality "I didn't like it anyway!"
Yes! That's exactly what you're doing. "Look at these screenshots that clearly show the improvements are marginal as fuck" only to go on pretending it's some massive graphics revolution, even though multiple different are telling you that you're simply wrong.

It's a bit alarming that your mind can distort reality that much. Like that little girl from the Walking Dead who ended up killing her sister because she just couldn't see things for what they are. You might be dangerous to people around you if you really do not take any medication, and judging by the way you keep dodging that, maybe that question is another part of reality your brain just shuts out. Is there someone nearby who can assist you if you spaz out? Protect yourself and others from you?
>>
What a shit fucking thread. Someone make a new one so the babies can argue in peace.
>>
>>338719451

>Marginal as fuck

Better detail, non shit LOD and actual enviorments are not "marginal as fuck" but nice hyperbole trying to make your point seem anymore valid.

Also if you and that other autist have deluded yourselves it don't really mean much you know, when people can literally look at the screenshots.
>>
>>338719612
They are though, like people have been telling you. It's seriously amazing you can be just this much of a blind little fanboy.

Also, let's repeat these, maybe this time you might actually begin to understand:
Are you taking medication for your delusions?
Is there someone nearby who can assist you if you spaz out? Protect yourself and others from you?
>>
>>338719775
Repeating yourself will get you nowhere though, I've already provided facts, you're just acting like a child.
>>
>>338719913
Oh yes, so
>my opinion is right even though multiple people tell me I can't see for shit
is a fact now. The delusion goes deeper with every post.

It's amazing you still couldn't read or understand the questions at all. Can you even function on a daily basis without help? Or are you sitting in your own pile of shit right now, not even aware it's there at all because your delusions just simply prevent you? Fascinating.

Indeed it is.

Did you notice you just completely ignored yet another set of questions? That's how absolutely fucking stupid you are. Seriously, little anon, seek help. I worry about you and anyone who goes near you.

30 turns in and theres 2 Terrorgheists, a ton of grave guard and black knights, and all the various monster units and my only limit is my income

I think you can raise elite units in the site of ancient battles

Also fuck you vampire fucking shit
>>
So does this actually run well? If so I'll probably pull the trigger on it right now. How terrible is the AI?
>>
>>338721503
That was the original plan, then they changed it to be based around map location. By forcing a few fights near the same city the effect stacks and it just lets you raise a bunch of stuff you shouldn't like the Terrorgheist I got the turn after I took that screenshot.

It's such a low effort game it's astonishing. Why can't they, after like 15 fucking years, put some goddamn strategical depth in the fucking game. It's all tactics and it's all boring because it's too easy to execute. I was excited because i like warhammer but it's just total war with a warhammer skin. No improvements to the formula what so ever.
>>
>>338722196
Yeah, but they have such an intense hatred of paradox that goes even beyond the usual /v/ hostility, which is I think justified.

>>
>>338722283
>tfw the last time the game has had a major change was in fucking total war napoleon (or was it empire?)
>>
>>338722485
the gameplay is different because each faction plays differently.
They are like Wc3 races rather than AoE races.
Magic and flying units are fun as fuck, and watching heroes mong cannon fodder is pretty boss

Are you sure you're not playing Overwatch m8

>>338722702
It uses denuvo which means there will never be a torrent, sadly.
>>
>>338722485
I mean gameplay-wise it's still Total War, so if you liked one Total War game you'll like this. The only difference now is that it has flying units and magic. Otherwise it's the same.

There are a lot more changes to the campaign map though and I don't feel like listing them all, you can probably google it.

People will always like watching thousands of units blob up. There's a reason the formula of right click to win has been selling like hotcakes for 16 years now. Or was Shogun 1 or medieval 1 left click to attack?

some things have bene removed, some things have been tweaked, a few things added but overall no major improvements, and campaign itself seems dumbed down a bit
once again, battles are fun, but as I said before the empire unit roster is pretty damn lacking
I'd buy it when the dlc is out, and there's worthwhile mods to expand rosters n shit

Do you enjoy the settings of total war?
if so, this is a tad different obviously.
Do you enjoy the aspect of combat with countering and such in mind?
This game does that well.
Do you enjoy the diplomacy turn based aspect?
This game does that fairly well with some twists too.

Many say it's the best total war game. I don't know about that, but it's pretty damn great. Especially considering how much of a shitfest rome II was.

Alright, playing as Chaos, I just united entire Norsca under me, literally every single tribe in Norsca answer to me now, so I'm getting ready to move down south. Gotta admit that I'm getting kinda bored of Chaos, since they only have almost the exact same units, different types of melee warriors that all work the same. Sure, they hit like a truck and slaughter the competition but When i'm looking at Empire and their huge diversity of units I'm thinking of restarting. Any Chaos players that can tell me if it get's better later?

you can increase it by building guard houses/barraks of different tiers, or just use a army inside the city like in Medieval 2

Garrison's only appear when the city is attacked, not sure the other races but Vampire Cunts have a building type labeled defense that increased garrison numbers pretty well. Any building upgrade will also tell you if they add a garrison.

It would be a bit excessive as you would have better use for other buildings, garrisons should be able to deal with minor stuff, anything bigger would require an army nearby anyway unless you have a fully upgraded city

I need some advice. I started as the dwarves, after the intro fights I'm free to do whatever and I see everything around me is owned by orcs and goblins, so I build up a cheap army and rush down to fuck them up, get some more land next to the other dwarves.

Meanwhile the AI makes huge armies with really good units and I can't even make my economy work, two armies with shit units is already too expensive to maintain. If I capture something to make more money, I have to stay in it or go forward because you can't make garrison units. I make 144 gold per turn and can't defend my first three cities properly because if I move away, the shit I just left gets besieged and taken instantly.

How the fuck am I supposed to do anything when you can't build troops to protect a city any more? The tiny built-in garrisons can't really do much on their own.

You either made too many lords, which increases the ENTIRE upkeep cost by a percent which is ridiculous. Or you built too large of armies.

As Dwarf, I took the 2 settlements to the right after the start. Then went back around to the left and razed 2 Orc cities to the south. So they had a hard time moving up on my while I had plenty of time to tech up

It's not like they can just "patch in" excellent DX12 performance. The game would have to be made from the ground up to take advantage of such things.

You're ambushing them, so you should be able to rush it and take it out of the fight right from the off.

that part is super tedious, i feel your pain

So how are estalia / tilea and other minor factions, are they at least a bit fleshed out or are they just generic empire troops?
>>
>>338709427
Im about 40 turns in. Going is slow because I'm splitting time between Overwatch with friends and this.

I'm having fun. After loosing hope with Rome II this got the company off my shit-list. Dwarves are pretty great, really enjoying the defensive style of play.

Fuck chaos.
I'm going to find the lead designer of their AI and go to his house. I'm going to run room to fucking room setting random shit on fire and knocking everything over while running just slightly faster than him trying to catch me. Then I'm going to sprint outside and stand in the window until he leaves the room at which point in breaking the fuck back in and crashing more shit.

Generic Empire, _we_ think they are gonna be fleshed out in minor DLC or FreeLC

If not, at least we can rest in the knowledge some autistic medierranean modder will give us proper tercios instead of faggy germanic landsknechts

SLI has always been broken for every game.
Nvidia drivers being broken for this specific game is a known issue. Your only hope for a fix is to wait for official updates, apparently Nvidia is working on it.

Oh and the game isn't set in the sigmarine era
>>
>>338715806
I got the same cpu and r9 390 and its running perfectly on ultra.
>>
>>338759407
dont get excited. it still contains alot of the retardation rome 2 had with some slight polish
>>
>>338759627
It's fine from the MP battles I've done as Brettonia.

Though I'm dwarves in Campagin right now, so I really don't have much expirence with cavalry beyond stopping ther charges fucking cold.
>>
>>338759478
Me on r9 290 and Intel i7-5820K and it runs smooth on ultra.

denuvo

>>338759950
If it has Denuvo then the odds are it won't be cracked for at least a month or maybe never.
>>
>>338759950
yeah I was hoping to see how it ran before I bought it so I wouldnt have to fuck with steam refunds if it runs shitty, but hey at least you can refund with steam if its shit
>>
>>338743152
This here.
Gaming laptop and I've got smooth sixty for all but the largest battles.
Turned of most post-process and stuck other settings on high.
>>
this might be a silly question to ask but is there gore or will that be some silly dlc as with attila and shogun?
>>
>>338757258
>>338758437
I dunno.
I've got a gaming laptop and it runs darn well.
i7 6700HQ 2.6GHZ.
So maybe?

>>338760446
confirmed dlc

>tfw try to play Orks

Oh god I am so bad at this...
>>
>>338760306
steam refunds are auto-approved if you've played less than 2 hours and its within 2 weeks of purchase.
Longer than those its a case-by-case deal.
I was planning to refund it if it was shit but it runs smoothly as hell for me.

If you're fighting Dwarfs you need cav and archers, just run around the map, they can't catch you.
>>
>>338760446
It's going to be DLC. If I remember right it's done this way because of places like Germany and shit. By selling the dlc for cost separately that adds blood the rating is kept down and more markets can be reached
>>
>>338760934
makes sense i suppose, in Shogun II it seemed silly but for Atilla it actually added something to the already bleak atmosphere
