A Croatian duchy that fought against Franks existed in 800AD.

When Charlemagne incorporated much of Central Europe, he brought the Frankish state face to face with the Avars and Slavs in the southeast.[43] The most southeast Frankish neighbors were Croats, who settled in Pannonian Croatia and Dalmatian Croatia. While fighting the Avars, the Franks had called for their support.[44] During the 790s, when Charlemagne campaigned against the Avars, he won a major victory in 796.[45] Pannonian Croat duke Vojnomir of Pannonian Croatia aided Charlemagne, and the Franks made themselves overlords over the Croats of northern Dalmatia, Slavonia, and Pannonia.[45]

The Frankish commander Eric of Friuli wanted to extend his dominion by conquering Littoral Croat Duchy. During that time, Dalmatian Croatia was ruled by duke Višeslav of Croatia.[46] In the Battle of Trsat, the forces of Eric fled their positions and were totally routed by the forces of Višeslav.[46] Eric himself was among the killed, and his death and defeat proved a great blow for the Carolingian Empire.[43][46][47]

Charlemagne also directed his attention to the Slavs to the west of the Avar khaganate: the Carantanians and Carniolans. These people were subdued by the Lombards and Bavarii, were made tributaries, but were never fully incorporated into the Frankish state.

Boshin War nigga.

Emperor has no power at all, Shogun still holds power.

Western nations give both sides a chance to take over. Emperor wants to shut foreigners out due to bad trade deals that were signed when they threatened to shell coastal cities. Shogun wants to modernize and put Japan on the global map (which by 1900's they have a fuck huge empire). War declared. Shit happens, Shogun BTFO.

It's the best TW setting hands down and the only Victorian one we have.

>>124004279
I think it could work, after the Exarchate of Ravenna fell the Byzantines couldn't really do much in Southern Italy and Sicily until Basil I. Wouldn't be too far-fetched to have the theme be essentially autonomous from the Empire and attempt to regain control over Italy itself. The quest system could represent token financial and military support from Constantinople.

Reconquista is pretty irrelevant until Sancho the great and the 11th century. This is the era of Charlemagne. His man foes were the Andalusians, Avars, Lombards, Danes at the end of his time, and Saxons (Westphalia).

>>124008916

>>124009076
The Reconquista was not hugely relevant on the world stage until then, sure, but it was very relevant in giving Charlemagne legitimacy and illustrating the future of Christian/Muslim conflict. It would be like leaving out Canada or Brazil in an eighteenth century campaign in the Western hemisphere -- not relevant in one narrative doesn't mean it isn't important.

Which, Frankly, is good. CA has always began shitting the bed when a campaign map gets too large. Their smaller-scale campaigns are best. Let them rest and accumulate resources for a while before pouring the entire studio into another worldwide campaign.
>>
>>124012547
I don't know why they didn't do it ages ago. Standardizing the crunch saves so much effort on their part and pushes the player to focus on unit quality over quality, meaning there will be less units that are practically unused because a weaker horde can do a better job.

This, they confirmed you can hover just below the first tier that has drawbacks as long as you don't lose. Winning always restores you.

How do I get onagers as a migrating tribe? Is it a camp building that allows construction or are there mercs I can hire somewhere? I haven't found any artillery mercs so far, they were available in the tutorial but not in the grand campaign apparently.

I've resorted to autoresolving my sieges until I find one, the WW1-esque casualty rates of those towers is a little bit too much for me and their insane kill counts are apparently overlooked during autoresolve.

I don't want to settle until I have a lot of money and I'm doing it in Italy, so I really need some onagers before then.
>>
>>124035262
Yes, but they'll fuck around with it for a year like every other new feature. At least now the game won't be broken on release because of the new feature.

>>124041149

Do you have any mods installed?
>>
>>124041315
Does a unit exist that can capture a tower without losing 3/4ths of its men or flat out routing?
>>
>>124040984
the carpentry tent chain provides you with onager.
>>
>>124041315
anon it's like 50-100 people dead before each tower is taken, that's like as much as you take just autoresolving. Furthermore, it's not going to be a devastated unit, it'll be spread out across your army and replenished next turn. Without an onager to at least get me a foothold in a settlement, I can't hope to have any success against walled cities when even the towers in settlements are a hassle.
>>124041334
nope. I'm hoping I've just been really unlucky and they haven't updated the game to remove mercenary onagers.

There was massive global cooling during the fall of the western roman empire. It was warmer before this time than it is today. It is the driving factor behind the mass migration of the huns and germans. It is probably the number one cause of why the WRE collapsed.

I've always had the same problem with artillery in FoTS which is strange because even in unmodded empire it was never as bad. In empire you might lose one gun to a glitch but the rest were more than capable at being redeployed and i never had any qualms about moving my guns up if necessary.

In FotS once i set my guns up in deployment. I rarely if ever move them and just try to bait the enemy into their range if i have to.
