Our King and his son attack the Caledonian capital of Eildon.

Our king leads a detachment to draw the enemy outside the rear of the settlement, while our raiders scour the heart of the town to remove all towers, clearing the way for the 16-year old Moritex to move his men in and take the hill fort. With arrows and javelins raining down on them from above, the Caledonians on the field outside rout, and the Hibernian scourge captures its first settlement on Britannia proper.

I only took the one pic, but it was a really pretty battle in the rain.

The Caledonians are left with only a wayward army, and their king doesn't even try to regain his fallen capital, instead resorting to raiding what had just recently been his own lands.

Moritex defeats the Caledonian king in a battle, and only a few of his men escape. We come upon them at their final reckoning.

Oda have on of the easiest starts in my opinion. their ashigaru are so cost effective that they are one of the few factions were i feel i can afford all the troops i need right from the beginning

I find it funny that Oda is listed as a hard difficulty when the cheaper, more powerful ashigaru make dealing with Tokugawa, Saito, and Imagawa easy as fuck.
>>
>>121027507
None of the other factions are interesting? The Satsuma have Saigo Takamori, the famous last samurai, as a general, and turn 1 you can adopt him, make him heir, and suicide your Daimyo. That isn't interesting?

>>121028849
yeah, i think its mainly for beginners. I find the Date to actually be the hardest faction other than the Ikko Ikki, because it takes so long to build any momentum thanks to northern honshu's huge provinces, that by the time I reach Kanto the Hojo/Takeda are huge and I've still only got one stack. And they're listed as easy or normal

Date do get that easy trade point monopoly, though. You are right, their campaign is fairly difficult, and it is a slow start.

Anyway, Aelia and Aila make for an amazing defensive position against the Sassanids. Both stacks are in range to defend the other, wipe the stack, then force march back to the city. The Sassanids and some vassals have finally shown up, and in two turns three stacks have been wiped out and another defeated.

Nah our future is free mods, it will be hard to you for understanding how people can turn Attila in Medieval 3, since your game cannot into interesting modding and actually not even the game, just bunch of DLC.

CELTIC FUCKING COCKSUCKERS

Honestly this is fucking bullshit.

What should my army comp be to counter armies of ten or more spear warriors and supporting Celtic Warriors and Oathsworn generals?

I've tried swordsmen-based armies but Etruscan swordsmen aren't that good and axemen get shredded after too long in melee.

Cavalry would be my choice but they have such an abundance of spears.

It wasn't really exucseable. It was worse than rome 2(and still is) and they haven't really tried to fix it at all. They fixed some crashes like the fort crash and start-up crash that affected almost everybody.

They also gave out a patch that was supposed to make the AI move in formation but it did fuck all. The game was a fucking disaster and I am still bitter about it. I really want them to try again though.

You don't notice really slow unit respons time(they sometimes don't respond at all) and its uniquely retarded total war ai(both battle and diplomacy)? The worst things about it is gone now though. It's pretty obvious you didn't play it at release.
>>
>>121053529
It was a defensive measure since those two towns used to be my border. Also, never got a response from the creator of the mod but I asked what would happen if I went ahead and built the regular "red" military buildings.
>>
>>121053482
What's wrong with them?
>>
>>121053686
To much RNG.
>>
>>121053679
The red buildings are the original Italian military buildings the default Etruscan league would have. They have much less units, you shouldn't build them, the only reason they exist is because removing them removes them for Rome as well, so Rome can't recruit except from Roma as it starts with one.
>>
>>121053938
Oh ok.

Then what should I replace it with, considering you can see all the other buildings I have in the province.
>>
>>121054018
Velathri is probably safest so turn the barracks into something economic. Ariminum faces where invasions are likely to come from so keep it there.
>>
>>121053770
Then how do you suggest they fix them?
If they make all non-passive abilities 100%chance with a flat value - it might work for stuff like -moral or -movement, but how will agents interact with eachother with a system like that? If the never fail - how will they die or get wounded?

>>
>>121053938
The red building give you access to a roman horse unit, italian swordsmen and some legionary units down the line. Etruscan military would have dropped hoplites for swordsmen in time just as Rome did.
>>
>>121058941
It follows that pattern, Swordsmen come after Hoplites. But it's a game, so you can still recruit hoplites if you want to.

In the tv series Rome, Marcus Junius consistently refers to other patricians as lesser than him based on family name.

He even implies Gnaeus Pompeii is a pleb and Cicero speaks of his name in reverence.

According to wikipedia, the junii aren't considered gentes maiories. Scipio on the other hand is a part of the gentes maiories according to wikipedia. But no one refers to his name with such respect as Brutus.

We've taken most of Britain, by now. All that remains are Londinium and the town in East Anglia, the latter of which is owned by exiled Picts, who are besieging Roman London.

We have taken the town in Devon, and the Britannian rebels who were its former owners are trying to retake it. We expect a bloody battle for the city.

After beating them again, and waiting a turn, they turned into a generic rebel stack... but Britannia remains as a faction. Down here.

Salve, friends.

The /vg/ League is upon us once again. Last outing we failed to improve, falling to /dng/ and finishing a lowly 8th, despite our mighty third place the cup before.

Pic related is our roster. We shall run a poll soon, but for now I want to collect ideas for new players and which players should be removed.

If you didn't know, the /vg/ League is an intra-board tournament between /vg/ generals. Each general puts forward a team and these teams play one another in AI vs AI Pro Evolution Soccer. We have played in every iteration of this tournament, advancing past the knockout rounds three times out of four and reaching the semi-finals once; where we lost to the eventual winners. We have also played /gsg/ twice and unfortunately lost twice.

A milestone in Etruscan history. The first Legionary barracks is completed in Arminium, and the newly formed Kings Guard is deployed in Pannonia. Further good news, the Illyrian and Pannonian Celts have been exterminated. Only good will come of these accomplishments.

The other new players was Wardog Kekapult.
Just keep in mind to specify what players you'd like to remove, otherwise the number of players added/removed and who they are will be up to the management's discretion.

When the poll is ran (probably on Strawpoll or Googledocs) the players with the most votes will be the medals and we'll add the 19 other most popular suggestions

Strawpoll is quicker but Googledocs allows for more options and allows us to specify stuff like medals and who should definitely go.
