How long do you guys think it'll be until Charlemagne goes on 50% or more sale? 2016 summer? winter?

Also, Hegemony 3 is 35% on the steam sale right now. Check it out if you want to see what a proper supply system would be like in a wargame. Makes planning campaigns just as important, if not more than, as fighting battles.

Alright, I guess I'll skip the early purchase and buy the DLC in summer. I hope someone can make the new unitcards in the style of the ones in Charlemagne for the regular Attila campaign. The normal pictures look so plain...

Also, I know what you mean by Hegemony 2. It felt like a misstep compared to Hegemony 1, which felt less restrictive and less buggy. I think Hegemony 3 is definitely a step back on the right track, but it's still not a game for everyone due to higher levels of micro required. I wish more wargamers or war game developers could take more notice of it. Paradox gsg have good diplomacy features, tw has good battles, and civ has its buildings, but all of them are just so bad when it comes to waging campaigns or operations. It's just move unit from point A to point B without any real strategy or thinking involved.

Dear /twg/,

I have decided to play total war by purchasing Shogun 2 but found out there are two games.

So tell me, which one has the more different-playing/interesting factions for replayability, base shogun 2 or fall of the samurai?
>>
>>123575273
Rise of the Samurai
>>
>>123575273
They're very different periods in history, and both are not particularly full of diversity. I'd say FotS is a bit more diverse since there's three paths to unifying Japan and two main "lines" of units (traditional and modern, although one is much better than the other)
>>
>>123575273
>different-playing/interesting factions for replayability
Fots. No debate.
Though Shogun 2 may be easier if you're new
>>
>>123575273
You should buy the Gold edition or whatever that comes with both, since they're both great.
>>
Hey guys, how do you think Knights will be classed in Charlemagne?

Lancers or heavy melee cav?

Sorry, I didn't know about that. I should have specified I was getting it on Steam and it doesn't have that Gold edition (I'd definitely get that one now that I know).
>>
Anyone else autistically bothered by the portrayal of the Alans in Attila? They're just bland generic Germanics with one cataphract and one horse archer unit (that are stupidly difficult to get as horde) plus wardogs to differentiate them
>>
>>123575417
Seriously?
>>
>>123576585
I've been complaining about them and the entire Attila roster from fucking day 1, buddy. Don't even get me started on how much they butchered the Sassanids.
>>
>>123576212
I think Gold edition is retail only
You can get on steam Shogun 2 complete or Fall of samurai complete, they sells separate i think

the Alans weren't even Germanic, they were Sarmatian in origin

Starting with conquering your home province might be a good idea

After that you can get into Britain or Europe or sail around the globe and become King of Africa if that's what you fancy

If you click on the winning conditions it will tell you which areas the game would like you to conquer, you don't really need to obey that stuff but it might be a starting point to see what areas you could go after

As far units you should do research and build better buildings

>>123583172
>>123583539
Also starting tips: best I can come up with that hiring a mercenary Onaga makes sieges a lot easier, but note that they eat up billions of dollars every turn so you should really only keep them as long as you need

Research Onaga building at some point, I think it's the wood upgrade for the artisan somewhere in the military research tree

Keep an eye on sanitation, that shit is important

Good starting factions are Franks or maybe Saxons, if you get dead with Geats

that's the best I can come up with
>>
>>123583539
>>123584123
Thanks Fellas
Yea one of the first things that happens is that my city became unsanitzed. Built a granary because it said it added to sanitation, but that didn't seem to do much. Also the first thing I did was invade Britain, is attacking the Jutes and the Danes really the best thing to do at first?
>>
>>123585107
You can temporarily lose some sanitation due to a bad summer or winter, so it's not a huge deal to worry about.

And raiding britain is a retarded meme. Any army that can go over there and actually stay alive long enough to loot a city will eat way more than what they're worth in upkeep. You're better off conquering the baltics.
>>
When's the first Charlemagne stream?
>>
>>123585107
You don't HAVE to stab your Scandinavian brethren in the back if you don't want to, but getting a hold of the three cities in your area might be helpful
For example it would enable you to build a well, that gives all cities in the province bonus sanitation
>>
>>123586834

Himyar Jewish melee units are good. Able to stand on their own against Cav units, meaning you don't need to bother with spears. Just use the Himyar-unit infantry and armored camel warriors and win.

Rome 2 or Atila?
I could only buy one all its sales DLC

also the Emperor edition doesnt include any DLCs right?
>>
>>123604665
Emperor editions is basically the base game ever since the augustus update. Atilla is better than Rome 2.
>>
>>123604665
The answer is obvious.

Just stick to the classics.

Play Shogun 2.
>>
>>123604665
Emperor edition does not include all the DLC, I think it only gives you Augustus campaigns.

Rome 2 isn't terrible, if you like the setting you might enjoy it.

Attila is a much better game, I really enjoy it.
I feel like it's harder to get into and more complicated, that might just be me being bad though

Actually >>123605076 isn't full on memery because Shogun 2 is, if you think you like the setting, a pretty good first Total War.
It does have it's shortcomings, but it's pretty straight forward and has amazing presentation as far as visuals, music and so on go.
>>
How does Attila compare to Rome2?
Any gameplay/mechanics improvements?
Or is it just a reskin of Rome2?
Does the politics part finally have an actual point ?
>>
>>123606074
It is a reskin of rome 2 except with features that should have never been removed from Rome 2.
>>
>>123606074
>Any gameplay/mechanics improvements?

Some, not a lot. Agents are still unbelievably annoying, armies are still limited, you still can't edit the campaign map, yada yada
>>
>>123606074
It's a much better game, very good in fact
>>
>>123606074
politics is much better with family trees and generals that don't die after a few turns. same with agents

battles are a little different. units lose and gain fatigue much quicker, and units are harder to shatter and are more likely to recover from being broken (which is an absolute pain at times).Also unit tiers are a really big thing with many factions starting with down right awful units

campaign feels very different due a number of differences. politically it feels very different due to the existence of a couple of fuck huge empires (with significant advantages in troop quality) with almost every other faction being a 1 province minor. Fertility is a new stat that effects food production, and over the game it gets progressively lower and lower (starting in the north) so migration or changing your economy mid game is important. Plus the Huns act like a mongol/timurid invasion
>>
>>123606074
Atilla has a family tree. The horde mechanic is a pretty big deal for a lot of the factions. Politics is now just percent control you have to balance. It provides empire wide modifiers like more growth, lower taxes, increased happiness, etc.
>>
>>123606438
>except with features that should have never been removed from Rome 2.
examples pls?

>>123606523
>units are harder to shatter and are more likely to recover from being
what i really hate in Rome2 is that melee's are over too fast, casualties are way too big, moral is way too low.

>campaign feels very different due a number of differences
for example?

>changing your economy mid game is important
how do you change economy?

>>123606470
>armies are still limited
what? sorry i played only a little with Rome2, i got fed up with it quickly
>>
>>123607012
family trees and siege escalation to name a few.
>>
>>123607012
>how do you change economy?
Early game you can get a lot of money off farms. When fertility drops you have to switch to farms that don't give you quite so much money. So you have to up your industry/culture money production. If the building is in the same building chain, you can convert it.
>>
>>123607319
so there are two types of farm?
does the fertility drop stop at a point?
>>
>>123607447
three or four types of farms depending on the faction.
>cattle
>wheat
>goat
>special one only celts can build
Fertility starts dropping at year 400, and drops again 20 years after that.
>>
>>123607012
>campaign feels very different due a number of differences
>for example?

starting faction power balance is very different from Rome 2. In Rome 2, with the exception of the sillykids, most factions are small or moderate sized. In Attila 3 factions dominate a huge portion of the map and the rest are really small. there's very few moderate sized factions. ends up changing the way the game plays a lot

climate change

horde migration

Attila events

Razing


campaign ends up feeling very different from Rome 2

>changing your economy mid game is important
>how do you change economy?

you basically swap from high fertility based economy (farms and stuff) to low fertility based economy (pastures), and if you haven't prepared for it you will need to do re balancing of your economy to account for the food differences

>>
>>123608905
Completely destroying the settlement. It can be resettled, but it takes a serious amount of money and men to do so.
>>
>>123608905
settlement gets completely destroyed and the entire province takes a penalty hit. its an option when you take a settlement, or happens when you decide to abandon it. Razed settlements can be recolonized, but it costs a lot of dosh
>>
>>123608905
forgot that how is unit balance?

i remember rome 1 barbarian invasion, roman units were too high upkeep therefore cost ineffective, this made the game difficult to WRE
>>
>>123609440
Changes throughout the game. Rome has the superior soldiers in the early game, but not a lot of them. WRE's money issue stems from corruption and having to handle a huge amount of immigration. German early game units are horrible. But that changes as the game goes on and the germans start to become really powerful. The Huns are powerful throughout all of their tiers.
>>
What are the best mods for Napoleon? I played LME and didn't like it.
>>
>>123609638
hoes does WRE do in the game?
can you do something against corruption / immigration?
how do WRE troops fare in later game?

rome 1 barbarian invasion's WRE had mediocre troops with high upkeep vs armor piercing strong and cheap barbarian axeman...

i remember old TW games' corruption was if you had a lot of money you get an income penalty + bad traits for generals. how is it in Attila?
>>
>>123610045
WRE will always suffer from constant immigration, though it has reduced public order penalties. WRE can also have governors use edicts to reduce immigration to a province. As for corruption, as you research technology, you can get some that will reduce corruption by a certain amount, though you will always top out at 95% as you increase in power, unless you get a mod to reduce it to, say, 80%.

WRE troops are good in early and late game. Good formations, good armor, but their starting cav is shit. Better for just running down archers instead.
>>
>>123610045
WRE crumbles like a house of cards if it isn't controlled by the player. With all the germans attacking it at once and all the rebel factions popping up they don't stand much of a chance. You can combat immigration by incresing the tax rate of provinces, but it has the issue of decreasing happiness. WRE gets some really good troops late game, they have the best skirmisher unit in the game. The problem is surviving to that point. Corruption depends on a combination of your imperium, general traits, research, politics, and I think some provinces have a higher corruption than others. You lose a percent of you income from that specific province.
>>
>>123610045
WRE has like 80% corruption even at max research levels

They're better than Rome 2, at least, but you would think CA would learn to not use them at all after how they were hated in Rome 2. Shogun 2's unit and building cards were alright, though.
>>
>>123611703
I like the look of them so far. Seems like the got the Shogun 2 balance right, stylized enough to be interesting but with enough detail that you can tell what it is at a glance

That's retarded.

Not without massive changes in style that would make attaching the Total War franchise meaningless

The closest to a "manually controlled large-ish scale tactical battle" game possible set in modern times is something like Wargame, and only if the campaign has a much more detailed wargame-like (think Hearts of Iron or Gary Grigsby's War in the East or something like that.

It'd need to be men of war on the battle map. In general it wouldn't work very well.

Pardon the lack of updating. Visuals are almost done. Then it's statting. Gotta figure out why the shield's round pattern is repeating because I made 11 arabesque shield patterns but only one is showing up there. These are Khamis swordsmen replacing one of those weird Jewish named Saneghorim and Khal something (A spearmen is replacing the other, and Baltha warriors or defenders are currently Khamis axemen but I think I'll scale them back to be just armored axemen).

Thought about the Khamis spears being a'la EB2's Sabaean royals with small shield, spear and bow, but I wasn't sure about it.

Also the matte finish on that helmet is old - I have since fixed it but I haven't replaced the one in the pack yet so that pack one overrides it.

I also need to redo-touch up the terrible old yellow and beigey scale you see there.

Also if anyone has evidence for the himyarite masks I'll re-include them but I have not been able to find an iota of evidence for it. It'll be kept for generals because we aren't changing the Sand-kingdoms generals just yet - the team-member in charge of that is busy and I'm unfamiliar with how to do it and have plenty else to work on.

Missing shields in this case but snazzy and comfy outfits.
