Poor old Hannibal.
Continuing my Egypt campaign from the previous thread. Was about to attack the african tribes south of me when the Sillykids and their satrapies declared war and sent their armies to siege my Nabatean holdings. I initially lost 1 army and 2 settlements but managed to turn things around when my reinforcements from the south arrived. Currently taking the fight to the Sillykids by attacking their settlements in Syria.
So after a tedious flight home, i am back from the CA Total War modding/youtuber summit.
We saw a lot of future content, almost all all of which I'm legally bound to not tell you about.
There's a few things i can say to clear up some misconceptions.
>Historical games are certainly not dead, there are two future historical titles in the works right now
>CA loves mods and modders, but due to the nature of modern gaming, they have to specifically make modding tools, so it has to be calculated whether this is worth the time and investment of their developers rather than continuing to work on a new game. For example, campaign map tools would cost over $150,000 and about 6 months time, taking several devs away from current titles. They are in the process of deciding whether this is worth it
>Warhammer will be moddable, just not officially supported. The Database files are still there, can be opened in PFM, and tweaked all you like. GW is the reason they can't officially support it.
>Attila wasn't a flop, it actually outsold expectations. Because of this, there is much more content on the way.
>CA understand that day one DLC like Chaos is from a personal view point a bit of a douchey thing to do. But from an economic view point it must be done, it makes them so much extra money, the amount of people who buy it dwarfs the complainers by hundreds of times, it would be economically retarded to not do day one DLCs, the sales speak for themselves. From this extra cash, they are able to do so much more.
>Every major TW title outsells the last one, Rome 2 was a major success money wise and is the best selling TW yet, CA are huge now and they now have many teams working on many titles
>CA are working on physics based unit collision, with ragdolls and such. This probably won't be a thing until much later games. Contrary to popular opinion, pre warscape games collision was just simple number calculations, with a lot less variables and much simpler than post warscape games.
>>123161403
>Attila wasn't a flop, it actually outsold expectations. Because of this, there is much more content on the way.
Neat. Hoping for more playable eastern or steppe factions.
>it would be economically retarded to not do day one DLCs, the sales speak for themselves. From this extra cash, they are able to do so much more.

>>123161403

>>123162004
Their expectations are much less on follow up titles, nonetheless it beat their goal.
>>123161403
>im legally obligated not to say anything
>on an anonymous message board
Cool story. I wonder if they aren't wrong about the Chaos DLC though. It's easier to point to how many preorders you get, but its harder to measure how many people don't buy your game that would've otherwise, or people who buy at half off on steam when they would've been day one customers.
It's depressing if true, though. That and Rome 2 being their biggest success suggest the company is learning all the wrong lessons. Their best games might already be behind them.
>>123161403
How much were you paid for this post? Is CA hiring too?
>>123162207
Unlike you I don't think anonymity is a valid reason to break the law.
good to see my '8 (eight) years' meme is still going strong even though I don't come on /twg/ that much anymore
>>123163175
You don't get to steal credits for memes friend. Besides which it was I who created the 7 (seven) years meme.
>>123163234
sorry pal, I registered it on the world meme database ages ago
nothing personnel
The Sillykids have walked right into my clever trap!
>>123162207
I said we can't tell you almost anything, what i said is what i can say, there's so much more I'm not telling you and can't. Why should i leak it, if i do they know that someone leaked it, and then basically nobody is invited back next year and thats the end of mod summits. No thanks, that was some of the most fun 3 days I've ever had. Sitting in a bar until 1am talking about Total war with a bunch of modders and youtubers is great fun.
They aren't wrong about the DLC, we saw the figures. Their best games are definitely not behind them...

Maybe if you faggots wont scare him talking about screencapping and reporting, he would say something moreAlso making Total William General maybe could help too
>>123164121
Probably, as long as your mod is top of the workshop for a long time. There were about 10 modders and 8 youtubers i think.
>>123164342
Yes basically, i can't tell you, we all signed NDAs. Once it gets to the point that they show publicly what they showed us, we are allowed to talk about it.
>>123164518
Why would you show up to say you have something Very Special that you can't say?
Dig a hole and whisper your whole cool story into it senpai
>>123164518
Fuck. Maybe being a youtuber would be easier
>>123164735
I showed up to tell you the several points of information that i did tell you, such as clearing up whether warhammer would be moddable, whether historical games were being continued, etc . I said i can't say anymore because questions about more would be inevitable.
Some of you people are really fucking dense. Now i remember why i stopped posting here.
>>123164827
You told us nothing we didn't already know, thanks.
>>123164827
How was the Charlemagne stuff was it diverse enough from being a standard copy paste?
>>123164827

Thanks for clearing up that CA isn't going to walk away from the historical games they've built their entire empire on in favor of Redwall: Total War. Kind of sucks though, I was looking forward to Hare Border Rangers DLC

He can't tell you but its totally sweet, the whole thing's really sick.

>there are two future historical titles in the works right now
I'm sure they're real exciting titles like.. medieval 3! and... empire 2!
>>123165803
I'd be down for an Empire 2, I'd like it to have different start dates though, I'd love to see how the units would progress technology wise.
>>123165803
>medieval 3
>empire 2
I hope you're not being sarcastic because E2 and M3 would be fucking fantastic!
>>123161116
This conflict has turned into a massive war. I'm allied with Athens, Sparta, Knossos, Rhodes, Pergamon and one of the arabian tribes. We are currently fighting another huge coalition that includes Macedon, Tylis, Ardiaei, Galatia + Sillykids and their satraps.
My Cyprus satrap is losing ground in Anatolia but on the other hand i've gained half of Syria and also driven Media, one of the sillykid satraps out from Arabia Magna. Good thing Rome is still busy dealing with Carthage and Garamantia. Wouldn't want him to get any ideas about invading my western provinces.
Bored wagekeking and coming up with ideas for next Attila campaign. Has anyone ever tried playing through as a migratory faction without settled down? Just razing towns and creating puppet states?
>>123170391
The Huns are pretty much made for that. Visigoths also has that nice more money from puppets trait.
>>123164827

goddamnit, I've always wanted a warhammer total war game and now it's coming but I know it's just gonna look and/or run like shit on my pc (gtx 970 with i5 4430 cpu, 8gb ram), even attila runs like ass.

Lost my satrap but in return managed to secure the provinces of Syria and Cilicia. Sued peace with the Seleucids for now in order to raise some extra armies and to upgrade my existing pikemen to thorax pikemen.
In Greece the city states have wrested Greece from Macedonian control and in Africa Rome is performing their Carthago delenda est policy. Armenia swallowed up Pontus and is currently neutral with everyone.

Nasal helmet is much too late for Charlemagne, but that hasn't stopped CA before andnasal helmets are awesome so who gives a fug
>>123179986
That's what Charlemagne's era was... Early middle ages. In fact 5th-10th century is classed as Early middle ages. Charlemagne lived between 8th and 9th centuries.
Islam has also begun its conquest of the middle east, north Africa,southern Europe and knocking at the gates of Byzantium after coming from the deserts of southern Arabia.. TIME TO REMOVE KEBAB.
Hopefully the Campaign map is an enhanced western Europe. Someone needs to post the data leak of factions,provinces etc.
Post yfw it's a a Total War Battles: Kingdom update.
>>123184405
Fresh. Got to uninstall everything and if using Steam medieval validate the files to replace and repair old ones.
>>123184616
No they aren't Nasal helmets were used before his time and long after. The ones pictured there match the 8th-10th century period.
Pyrrhus! Formation!
It will be the period after Charlemagne. You will be charged with maintaining his empire from the marauding vikings and Muslims from the south.
>>123185084
Spangenhelm nasal helmets work for his era, but one piece hastings/crusade era ones don't.
>>123184962
I don't have the leak info on me but I remember it was Denmark down to Andalusia including the whole British Isles, all of Italy/Sicily and Eastern Germany for the Avars.
>>123184616
Except it isn't. Nasal helmets in western Europe began during his era in the 9th century AD.
The timeline is accurate.

Why is Patch 17 such a raging piece of shit?
This auto setting bullshit pisses me off. I came back to Rome 2 and it looks worse. The auto setting overwrites your manual settings and selects potato tier settings.
It needs removing.
I had no issues running this game at Extreme settings pre Patch 17 with FPS ranging from 78-120. I've just come back and it lowers everything in battles and performs worse.
Its got to the point. I cannot even be arsed fighting its that ugly. Just auto resolving battles by sending two full armies to ensure guaranteed victory.
It's basically a city builder lite now.

It's displaying Lod2 or lod3 at the distance it should be showing Lod1. Lod means level of detail, as you zoom out it switches the model to a lower detail version to increase performance. However at release they clearly had the distance parameters all fucked up.

no fucking way.

Why not? He loves the era, he loves the idea of being Charlemagne and being a distant descendant of his, he's done plenty of VA work before, and he's local. The only issue may be price, but I can't imagine he charges more than a currently-working and slightly prolific actor like Mark Strong.
>>123179540
Seleucids have been contained in Anatolia. Their last satraps have abandoned them and they are currently under attack from all sides. RIP in peace. War is still raging in Greece between Macedon and the greek city states. No obvious winner currently in sight. Rome has succesfully removed Carthage from premises and is currently at war with no one. The former Seleucid satraps have banded together and formed their own coalition in the east. I started a war against Aksum in order to conquer the province of Aethiopia. Will probably go after Armenia or the Seleucid satraps next. Sorry for the long blogpost. i'm not very good at this.

Unless it was Charlemagne on his deathbed narrating the game, he wouldn't be a good pick. For many years now Lee sounded like a sick, old man (although still strong in a way). No way he could've convincingly pulled of some sort of conqueror warrior king in a non-fantasy setting.

>>123225390
Well, I start out with two unwalled settlements, and two armies of 5 or so units, at war with Sparta, I have a trait that decreases diplomatic relations with all hellenic factions so Athens declares war within a few turns on almost all playthroughs.
You have historical grievances with Rome and Carthage which make them likely to declare war on you, and to top it all off Syracuse hates you as well as owning one of your only trade routes, which it generally cancels within a few turns.
>>123225390
Greeks who fucked with romans with elephants. Pyrrhos campaigned around italy winning all sorts of battles, but in the end ended up losing because he lost more men then he should have in the battles. Pyrrhic victory is named after him.
>>123225924

What's going on with the unit cards there?
>>123233464
Our spy is in position to watch over the Aorsoi.
They are barbarians, but the Sarmatians have a differing style of fighting than my ancestors have passed down. So we must learn. General Hesiod disbanded two units of his most elite phalanx to make room for no less than two units of levied locals with bows, with the claim that in order to defeat this enemy we must restructure our armies to have more long-distance fighters.
I agree, but it still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
>>123233797
DeI unit cards + separate unit mods.
where will wahammer total war discussions take plave when it's releaaed, /twg/ or /vtg/?
>>123234313
It appears our efforts to exterminate the scythian and sarmatian raiders have been rewarded. We have found friends in the Caucasus mountains in the form of two small nation-states - Kolkhis and the Kartli.
Impressed by our power and land, we were able to secure massively advantageous treaties of non-aggression and trade, with each nation paying us a modest sum of 2,000 denars for our trouble.
(Now, I'm going to look for a cloud removal mod, be right back)
>>123234989
While my Caucasian alliance appears to have been the right choice, I can't help but wonder if inheriting Armenia as an enemy is going to be worth it later on.
Only time will tell, but for all of our sakes, especially the sake of a civilized Bosporus, let us hope Kolkhis keeps them at bay.
The Kartli certainly seem to be near-death.
>>123236459
Our valiant allies (or atleast I assume so, I never met the bastards), the Kartli, have been minced by the Hayasdan under the command of Tigranes himself.
Perhaps the raiders saw weakness, or perhaps they had an unknown love for the late nation-state, but regardless the Aorsoi have declared war and prepare to march on Mtskheta, which has the lovely benefit of leaving their settlement, Samandar, lightly defended.
In addition, armies are now in place and next season will be ready to march on the Royal Scythians to the North.
After the declaration of war, Hesiod, who recently swapped garrisons with Appolonios as is standard in our armies, will march from Tanais towards Gerrhos.
Perseus lays in wait on the road to our capital, Pantikapaion, prepared to ambush any potential attackers with the hope of catching their army unaware. After Hesiod engages the siege of Gerrhos, Perseus will lead his army west to reach Olbia, where he will be joined by our navy under the command of Artemisios in a joint effort to crush the steppe nomads once and for all.
May we go with Ares' blessing.

I've clocked over 1k hours, 1380 at last glance in Rome 2, but Atilla wasn't... I dunno, everything felt strange.
Cultures didn't really feel unique, and I really felt like the units were moving too fast during battles.
It was like it had a permanent 2x speed.
I've been a TW fanboy since I first steamrolled the world as Rome in Rome 1, but not even I can defend the gameplay of Attila.
But I will admit I've had a fair bit of fun in it. Just not enough fun for me to keep coming back, or even keep it installed.

Pyrrhos is also remembered for being a tactical genius and truly forward-thinking, but he wasn't quite savvy enough, more like superhuman enough, to save a society that had no chance in a Roman world. It's a very interesting story about hubris, politics, and inevitability.

Been playing it solo and with friends since yesterday.
While I've managed to enjoy it, the gameplay is a heavily watered down form of real Total War.
>No exhaustion
>Limited controls and management of units (no groupings, lack of expected RTS controls, cant shape formations how outside of an incredibly limited window)
>Camera zoom severely limited to relatively close in and the widest view.
Since this game really should have just been called 'World of Rome' a la WoT it has balancing decisions that throw regular Total War gameplay out the window, case in point with ranged units being twice as powerful as they would be to be equally valuable as any infantry unit.
It's something I'll play for a while as a novelty and then drop it in short order. Is Total War Arena shit? Yes.

In addition, each faction will receive tailored narrative Story Events, offering you distinct challenges and dilemmas as your Campaign unfolds. Historically-inspired, some choices will lead you further to that faction’s original destiny, or you may choose to carve a new path of your own.

>>123269135
>Empire is most likely one faction
They've already said multiple time Empire will be split up, and you will have to fight the other counties to unite it. Pretty sure you only start as Riekland though.

>>123269437
Oh. Well, fuck.
So it's Charlemagne. I got to play it a bit at the modding summit.
It focuses on western Europe because it's all about Charlemagne
The map is huge, it's as big as the grand campaign map in terms of scale.
You can form Kingdoms if you unite enough provinces.
You can no longer change your factions religion, along the lines of it being weird if Charlemagne suddenly converts to Islam etc
They've improved how trading works, something about if your province borders a trading partners province you get even more income
Campaign goals are a lot different from the usual conquer everything
Agents are reworked somehow
There's more but we're not meant to say more than that until they reveal it, then i can talk about it.
>>123269135
Well, i think they told us the 20 unit thing isn't true, you can still have 40. Empire isn't one faction, you start as Reikland.
>>individuals in units still move simultaneously like automatons
I don't know what that means, individuals have individual animations like in every total war.
>>123268197
All those assets look great. Mechanics sound awesome. I was hoping against hope we'd get a Imperator Augustus style map but it's not terrible and we get more detail with that scope.

>>123269570
Oh and theres a new mechanic called war weariness, the longer your faction is at war the more negative public order you get
>>123268197
So is this the FOTS of Attila?
>>123269570
20 controllable units. Other reinforcements are held back at the map boundary like the older games.
It's still only 1 county. You won't be able to start as the others.
https://youtu.be/ZKPw86ivR7A?t=456
7:30, when the Wyvern hits the troops, they all draw swords and whirl around to face it, all in unison. Looks silly.
>>123268197
New Units
Age of Charlemagne includes all new units to better reflect the advancing warfare of the period, characterised by more heavily armed and armoured infantry and an increasing prevalence of cavalry of all categories, especially the emergence of knights in the Norman style for the first time. With over 300 new units, you will have the opportunity to recruit iconic military forces of the period, such as Thegns, Fyrd Axemen, Scola Knights, Berber Jinetes, Gazehounds and the feared Seax-armed Saxon warriors.
Unique Kingdom and Story Events Each playable faction has a unique set of challenging ‘Kingdom’ requirements to meet for the dedicated and shrewd player. Once achieved, you will be able to declare a new Kingdom name for your faction, reflecting or altering history in your wake. In addition, each faction will receive tailored narrative Story Events, offering you distinct challenges and dilemmas as your Campaign unfolds. Historically-inspired, some choices will lead you further to that faction’s original destiny, or you may choose to carve a new path of your own.
>>123269824
>war weariness
No more 'TOTAL War' then.
>Conditional War: Atilla
>>123269824
> War Weariness The sign of a great true king is in knowing how far your people can be pushed. Wars are significant and dramatic events between kingdoms, and should not be undertaken lightly. The fewer wars you wage the better your people will respond, as frequent and drawn out conflict will rapidly damage morale and your armies’ integrity. A shrewd ruler will seek to bring peace quickly and decisively.
Sounds cool

I'm asking because I want to know what kind of pricing to expect, Attila wasn't full price but it was slightly more than FOTS

I hope there are new ways to play a peaceful stye then. I woudn't mind to have a more complex trading system in which you can sink a lot of time into.

Most vikings from the early viking age were from Denmark.
>>123267106
Napoleon if you are looking for a bit more of a polished game. Still I'd recommend Empire simply due to the scale of it, conquering shitty native tribes and fighting over trade routes was actually really fun. You need Darthmod for the best experience.

What did he mean by this?
>>123272093
Miura (the author) is old and tired, so he very rarely releases new numbers of Berserk nowadays, even though the story is not over. And Berserk itself is old as fuck now. The boat is infamous because once they got on it, Miura really started to take his sweet time between releases, so it's been 7 years since they got in it. And there's not even that many chapters between it, it's actually a pretty small arc, it's just how fucking long it's taken to get off the boat. When people say they were expecting Miura to die of old age before they got off from it they actually meant it seriously.

>Total War: Yes, the map is focused on Western Europe, as the focus is on Charlemagne and the world around him. Having this kind of focus allows us to make a map that is in effect the same size as the Grand Campaign map but zoomed in on a smaller area so we can depict it in far more detail. We didn't want to have a campaign pack about Charlemagne and have the various Saxon tribes have only a single province to their name, Charlemagne fought them on and off for thirty years. You're going to see a good amount of variety in this campaign between the different factions and cultures you will encounter, and there's a lot of content in it.

Not really. It's more like

>After 1 good victory and 1 bad victory (the battle of Asculum) expect Rome to surrender
>They don't
>Get invited to Sicily to throw out the Carthaginians
>Go there and beat them; they hide in their fortresses
>Instead of consolidating, plan an invasion of Africa
>Before plan comes to fruition, get invited to fight Rome again
>Lose battle, head home to Epirus
>Start a war with Sparta; they dig a moat. Turns out taking Sparta is harder than you'd think
>Omens are against him, so might as well take some other city to the north.
>The fight for the city turns into a huge chaotic brawl with people getting moshed to death by soldiers and elephants.
>During the brawl, Pyrrhus gets non-fatally hit by a spear, decides to take out the motherfucker who threw it
>The guy's mother has been watching from the top of a roof, throws a brick knocking Pyrrhus unconscious
>His head is taken as a trophy
So basically, it's the story of genius in warfare, failure in everything else. Also, I find it interesting that when he lost 3000 troops or so at the battle of Asculum it was a disaster, but when the Romans lost more then 50.000 men at Cannae, they kept going

What DLC is worth it for Attila?
Why is Attila so poorly rated/reviewed in Steam?
>>123276115
Blood, empires of sand
dunno
>>123276115
any dlc that is not the viking forefathers dlc
butthurt over rome2 and the roman factions being a huge challenge. Which most people jumped on first when there was a free weekend a while back.
>>123276195
>Game about barbarians rising up to Rome
>People thinking Rome was gonna be an easy ride
What the fuck
>>123276115
Last roman, empires of sand and maybe blood
People are retarded just read reviews
>>123258767
Closest thing I've had is buffalo and elk.
Well if you ever travel around to a more urban area do try out some ethnic foods. Or maybe your grocery store might have some frozen foods that are ethnic, but those usually aren't that good.
>>123260365
Maybe they'll port the Attila upgrades to Rome 2.
>>123276115
Attila wasn't poorly rated until the free weekend when people that didn't own the game bombed it with poor reviews
>>123276115
Longbeards and Empires of Sand are pretty neat
The game had overall positive reviews, but then there was a free weekend a couple months ago which brought it down because of muh rome2 idiots

Blood and gore is a must
Empires of sand is the best out of the faction dlc
Langobards is fine if you like barbars
Celts is fine if you like barbars
Viking forefathers is kind of meh. All they have going for them is the infantry which wont save you when the cavalry heavy hunnic armies arrive.
How are the Celts in Attila?
Nice? or boring?
Do they offer a unique authentic experience or is it rather bland?
>>123277108
To be fair, the AI does hate the player. Hordes from all over the map travel ignoring all else to focus him, and it's kind of infuriating. Game's still good, though.

Celts get a bunch of unique buildings where you have to fulfill conditions to be able to build them (e.g. heroic victory to build great hall or whatever, I haven't played Sandpeople so I don't know if they get stuff like that too) and (of course) their own unites
The unique thing about the Celts is that the units are rather poor stat-wise, but you can deploy them all over and fuck people over in night battles

I know I shouldn't be expecting a Charlemagne DLC to cater to byzaboos, (and in any case the Byzantines couldn't really do much in Italy for another hundred years anyway) but I'm hoping they'll be playable. Could even implement the quest system to represent events in Constantinople and the Anatolian front against the Arabs. That being said they'll most likely be some minor filler faction.
>>123194138
Secured Aethiopia and finished wiping out the Seleucids. Turning out to be a rather interesting campaign. Rome, Macedon and the various greek states are still standing strong and we also seem to have a rather massive Parthian kingdom in the east.

hay /twg/
I wanna start a Rome campaign on R2, but I am unsure wether to play vanilla or DeI. Which one is mostt fun? Pros and cons? I'm fine with either, just want to hear some opinions and hear the major differences when it comes to gameplay and campaign aside from the most obvious differences (units, unit cards etc.).
Honestly the whole thing looks pretty good right now but I am kind of sad there are only 8 playable factions who are probably the historical big bois, I enjoy small nations and building an empire that never existed. :(
>>123279458
DeI is almost entirely better, except the game is much longer. A possible flaw is that morale works so slowly that it's too easy to set up hammeranvils, but you can speed it up with submods.
>>123278816
That shit looks literally the same though
>>123279458
Also, what about the auxilia? Can I recruit foreign units outside of Italy with my faction buildings in vanilla/DeI? Is there more to it than what units custom battle gives me?
>>123279458
What >>123279651
Though the mods has significantly improved in that regard as of late. Vanilla unmodded is actually fun now, but submods can always fine tune the experience.
>>123279651
No need. In the most recent release they already spend up the battles immensely.I almost dislike it.
>>123279385
Byzantines are in S.Italy, North Africans are in Spain.
>>123279651
>>123279738
Does DeI still have the auxilia system in place?
>>123279882
I believe so, it also has an AoR system for all factions. Can't be sure though, I've never played as Rome in any game ever, they're boring as fuck.
>>123279882
All faction can recruit generic units that only exist for certain cultures in a conquered land if the native culture is not overwhelmed by the invading culture.
>>123278198
That seems like a lot of content for a low price, I'm surprised. I thought it would be 25€.

No anon, all DLC should be free.
Let's go dislike youtube videos!
Wait!!!
What if they release more Medieval DLC for Attila and you can combine it all into a single Campaign like they plan to do with Warhammer?
>>123279385
I would have liked to have more of the map but North Africa would be an Abbasid blob. Much as it would have been nice to have a Muslim foe for the Umayyads.

>>123280575
YES MY ENLIGHTENED BROTHER!
Attila made no money because of us who complain about corrupt business practices. AS WE ALL KNOW the amount of people that complain on Youtube is the representative of the biggest group of consumers and not a vocal minority!
>>123280262
Nah DLC make them shit ton of money, pre order DLC is basically a gold mine of money too.
>>123280761

In the Chaos blog post and at the end of the Night Goblin teaser. We're getting a cinematic trailer for Grimgor with apparently quite a few shots of the campaign map.
>>123280898
It does, but it's at an economic loss, meaning they should charge more for economic profit, but they don't because it still gives them a sizable financial profit, and it shows support for the min product, hopefully encouraging continued sales.

>>123281027
I know this is difficult without a trip but as i said way above i was at their studios and they told us why they have the DLC policy that they do. The answer is, it's all about money. It makes them a lot of money. They still have a huge demand for Rome 2 DLC as well and may go back to do that. There's also another DLC planned for Attila after this one but we weren't told what it would be other than that it's a culture pack.
>>123281224
It's called Customs Battles.
Okay important question
Is there any mods for any TW game about Charlemagne or same time period?

That doesn't say this friday though.
>>123281224
Yeah, and there's one that disables squalor as well, because all of that is just bullshit! You should also check out the mod that makes all the difficulties play like Easy, that way you can beat the game on Legendary!

I thought Night Goblins units was a part of the Orkz in the base game.

This is the 10th time I've seen people ask this, are people just fucking around, or are they for real?
And no, it aint DLC, they've been shown to be part of the Greenskins already.

Compared to Shogun 2 the unit variety was great as well
As I said, I agree that there are a lot of barbers

>Prince of Macedon
I train every day with my Kopis. I forged it myself, all steel imported to the Philippines from legendary Macedonian blacksmiths. I mixed the molten concoction with my own true Greek blood and prayers to Ares so that the sword could slice through a thousand persians. I've folded the steel a thousand times, to be sure it never shatters.
Every morning and evening I wrestle with my Megas Alexandros αγαπούν μαξιλάρι in the naked oiled style of true macedonian legends. I weep at the oppressive laws of my country, as my training could be perfected if they allowed the importation of catamites of Greek Blood to my home. Even with this hindrance I may soon feel worthy to wield my sarissa and kopis with pride. I am planning a boat trip to Macedonia itself (now called FYROM, obviously a Greek word meaning strength and glory) so that I may learn from the true legends themselves, even I may be nothing compared to those who toll the same soil the glorious Alexander once stepped on, but I must prevail.

No he wasn't shy, he seems a very normal normie type.
There was also a guy called LegendofTotalWar there, he spent about 20 minutes just laying into the CA designers about how shitty the building system is and how restrictive the province system is, how there needs to be a population system etc. He's a big fan of the older games. The designers did seem to take note of his points and were nodding a lot so i think it's good and we may see improvements in future games, but also they seemed resistant to some changes and offered reasons why X cant be done. Which i think is stupid, they're not modders, they have all the games code, they can do basically anything.
>>123278621
Swallowed Armenia and ended up dragged in war with Parthia by my Arabian allies. This should be fun.
>>123289420
There's usually work and time restrictions that mean that they can't make sweeping changes without approval from the higher ups, got to get them deadlines and shit so they like to keep things safe.

Looking at the new units, It's far more likely to be Charlemagne, Muslims, Byzantium, Spaniards, English, Saxons, Lombards and Slavs. Most of them are also fairly well spread out with lots of interesting stuff happening to each.
Maybe replace Slavs with the Avars. They have about equal numbers of new units.
>>123292010
It's probably gonna be Franks, Cordoba, Asturias, Westphalia, Danes, Mercia, Avars, Lombards
>>123290736
CONSPIRACY IS RIPE IN THE AIR!
>>123286017
Medieval 3 has a better selection to avoid recolored knights if done right. You've got the different fighting emphasizes and appearances of Iberia (Infantry more important, light cavalry and light infantry, knights late to if ever adopting couched lance), Britain (mid game longbow reforms reflecting the azzizes that stipulated training with it and how mid-late armies would be mostly Billmen and longbowmen), Scots having a mix of contemporary tactics lowlanders and almost barbarian era highlanders, Germans and French being the vanilla baseline, Hungarians having a mix of balkan infantry with various arms & steppe-y cavalry and knights, Novgorod strong in infantry and Kiev Rus in cavalry, Kingdom of Sicily being a marriage of Lombard and Normans and Sicilo-Muslim light infantry and cavalry, North Italy almost being hoplite-esque in an emphasis on spearmen of the line.
>>123293265
I'd say Wessex over Mercia, you get closer ties with Europe, start off the underdog and the chance to go all Alfred the Great, which CA as a British studio would love to see players do.

I'm a member of one of the oldest "blue blood" families in Europe anon. The original Castilians. With a family tree dating back to the 8th century AD. I care deeply for my ancestors, my religion and my people even if many have turned into godless degenerates. If the old Kingdoms were still around I'd be third in line to the throne of Castille. But alas I was born a few centuries too late for such esteemed and majestic heights of human power.
All male members of my family are brought up that way to remember our kin. We all serve in the military as officers whereas the females are in the business side of things as women are not meant for masculine pursuits.
We have properties all over Spain,Portugal,France,Italy,Swtizerland, Germany and England which includes eleven castles and six whole towns. Rented out mostly when not in use for various nations heritage trusts for tourism. Foreign Governments even pay us on a quarterly basis to use our extensive land plots. When my father dies I would inherit hundreds of millions of Euro's and that's without the assets in the vaults in Geneva or quarterly incomes. I intend to use it for a good cause.
Ever since I graduated from the academy. I haven't got the time to play video games but I do still like to discuss the Total War series from time to time(once a week or so) which has been a favourite of mine since I was a boy likely due to the talented modding scene and historical accuracy that comes with that.
Unfortunately most people seem to shitpost rather than have real discussions. Which is why I mostly just lurk rather than post these days. Most of my posting time is in /his/ now.

I would be interested in helping someone doing that for Charlemagne, or ideally maybe a few years ahead or a few years back (around the 800s and you get the breakup of the Abbasids to deal with the giant blob that would be all of the Maghreb, Egypt, Arabia, Iraq, Persia, Armenia in Charlemagne's time)

Maybe swap Papal States for Byzantines? What else could be wrong with it?
>>123316167
No Kebab and no byzantines are the most glaring absences. The Emirate of Cordoba is a shoe-in for a faction. They become the great Umayyad power and a major foe of Charlemagne and his successors. There's no reason to have the Papal States - their italian units are already covered by the Lombards, they have 1 unique unit, their role is to beg Charlemagne to come save them.
1) Charlemagne
2) Wessex or some English faction
3) Kingdom of the Danes
4) Emirate of Cordoba - importance, unique position & units, steam page reference to recruiting Berber Jinetes.
5) Picts or Irish - covers celtic units, might be the 'gazehounds' mentioned on steam page. http://www.honga.net/totalwar/attila/unit.php?l=en&v=attila&f=att_fact_separatist_celtic&u=att_cel_gazehounds & 33 units in leak.
6) Continental Saxons - way too many units to not be playable. They mention on the steam page recruiting iconic military forces of the period such as..."seax-armed saxon warriors"
7) Avars for unique playstyle, nomad specific tech, possible coverage of slav and avar units.
Limited number of Byz units and no byz specific tech makes me wonder if they'll actually be playable. Could split up the avars and slavs. If Asturia taps into the char_gen units then their number of unique guys could justify being playable.
I don't see the Spanish being playable. They have 10 cha_spa units and no naval units. In the leak the celts have 33 units, slav have 14, avar about 17, byzantine about 17, vikings have 22, saxons have 24, Muslim have 25, lombard have 27, Franks have 26, English have 19.

I don't know what it is about these factions. The location, the setting and the units just appeal to me and i'm not even from anywhere near arabia or middle east.

They're the best aren't they.

tfw no Jewish Western Roman Empire
>>123318020
How do those Jewish units compare to the regular ol' Kushite Shotelai?
>>123318769
Teach me senpai. Should i go jewish or semitic paganism? Both are new to me since i've only done Zoroastrian Lakhmids and Christian Aksum.
>>123318769
I'm still buttmad that you destroyed that massive Empire until you only had your two starting cities.
Meloncat when are we getting them desert kingdoms?
>>123318954
>tfw you converted them
>>123319051
They're practically invincible in a frontal engagement when outnumbered 3:1 wheras the regular Shotelai will start losing at around 2:1. The other unit of which there are only two there are better under missile fire and slightly better at killing but die faster (but still slower than Shotelai) in melee so I only really brought them for the encourage aura.
>>123319160
Paganism gets way better variety but Judaism is just sheer overwhelming brute force which doesn't need variety.
>>123319160
Not the same guy, but i like the Jews. Their unique infantry is extremely durable and heavy and pairs great with a fuckton of camels. Their religious buildings are also great, they cost only food and give research rate.
>>123319186
The public order still makes me laugh
>>123319192
Workin on it. Lakhmids will be saved for next release when I tackle Sassy sassies. I'm placing the Tanu and Himyar units and getting the ball rolling on assigning stats and all that. Game plan is still to make sure the two Himyarite units I nix (cata camel lancers & cata camel swords) will be available in a mini-mod released in conjunction and said mini mod will in the future have more of those anachronistic units when I have the time to go back and re-add them in (like Hetairea Guard, Byz Pikes, heavy longbeard berserkers).
>>123318040
I dunno, but their historical importance & the number of cha_sax units suggest they will be playable. My guess is the continental saxons will have more of that barbar edge while the Anglo-Saxons will be more civilized and Christian.

I'm not sure when I'll be able to port/do stuff for Charlemagne but the added bonus of already working on berbers and arabs will make it easy to segway to the Umayyads along with some of the new assets they've added. Some of the historical references support some more classical looking arabs (the fancy voluminous turbans and not just a little bandana with bare head or qalansuwa cap, and big comfy p a j a m m i e s) come into use.
Pre Turk Kebab are great fun and don't nearly get as much time to shine as they should.
Roma Surrectum II keeps crashing on starting a new campaign, please send help

Hey /twg/, what are the best mods for Rome 2 and Attila?
>>123327278
Do you like roleplaying with specific legions?
>>123327278
Rome 2 DEI, Attila doesn't really need modding except for some minor stuff according to your tastes. Some good stuff is in the works though.
>>123327381
Sort of. I mostly like the campaigning and conquering aspect.
>>123327554
Well there's a mod that lets you build specific legions

Nothing much right now, just studying for finals and trying to get my hands on some truffles and fresh cardamon for Thanksgiving dinner.

I included the fucking announcement in the Saxon Genocide edition, I just misplaced it under the Warhammer section.
Pretty fucking easy to see though, and you lose your right to make a Charlemagne edition if you don't even include Charlemagne in the OP pic.
