I SPILL THE BLOOD OF FRANKISH MEN
NEVER FORGET!
English confirmed as true Sheepshaggers and Welsh the master of intellect and wisdom in Brittania
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBGcxnNV34c
>The English call the Welsh sheep-shaggers due to an old trick used by the Welsh against their gullible English neighbours in medievel times, when the English had a nasty habit of fucking sheep. When Wales adopted English law they noticed the penalty for shagging a sheep was less than stealing one (due to the English's habit) so whenever they were caught stealing a sheep they would instead say they were planning to fuck it instead to avoid the fine.
Therefore there is a very long list of crimes involving Welshmen shagging sheep, although it is only the English who would actually ever fuck a sheep,
Asturias intro emotional as fuck
Is there any way to improve loading times on Rome II? DEI is fucking unplayable, loading to campaign map takes literally 5 minutes every time.
So are when are we going for darren?
Been gone a year or so, did they update europa barborum 2 to actually run and not crash after 2 minutes? Or should I not bother and just play stainless steel again? Also how is everyone?
>>124920496
After they announce Rise of Islam we bomb the CA offices, making Darren the only casualty
Then we blame it on the Muslims
>>124920360
Darren here, on the job of fixing this little slip :) Racism is unexcusable, all opinions are correct, but even accidents must be punished in the ways dictated by Hadith :^) This is not done out of hostility, but it must be done for all infractions
Question: Do franks and lombards still yell FOR DA TRIBE when you select them?
>>124920571
Darren is a member of the IRA.
>>124920427
I thought it was only the same intro(Charlemagne intro) for every faction.
>>124920427
They have cinematic intros for each faction? Damn ca I didn't expect that, Are they on youtube yet?
>>124920610
No but Mercia does which isn't right.
>>124920678
Oh
Still a good intro regardless
>>124920691
Mercia had the fucking charlemagne trailer as their faction intro
>>124920562
welcome back anon. the general consensu is
>tfw Europa barborum 2
>just play stainless steel again?
honestly just do that man
or hey try out the new Charlemagne campaign and remove kebab and shed Saxon blood
>>124920769
it's a shame but I expected that. was the same for Imperator Augustus desu
>>124920258
Gib Lombard or Avars
>>124920424
So what you're saying is that the welsh stole sheep, then fucked them so they wouldn't get killed?
So basically they were forced to fuck sheep to not die?
kek
>>124920829
Oh? I might check that out, a campaign set pretty early might be fun.
Just launched charlesmagne and played around a bit.
Campaign seems decent.
Although to little units in each faction and all of them are basically the same. I understand that the period is not very divers but when has that stopped CA?
All in all - a half-assed dlc, wouldn't have bought.
>>124920962
nope they stole sheep from English keks, when they got caught they lied and said they were going to fuck the sheep. The English being fond of sheep shagging themselves saw this as completely normal and sentenced them for that
>>124921059
Should have gifted it to me then you fucking cocksucking faggot

>english reading comprehension

>>124921132
fuck you poorfag
>>124920769
Wait Charlememe is already out?
>>124920994
yeah we're basically in medieval times again so that's neat
>>124921125
Any source on any of this?
>>124920953
>Lombards or Avars
Great taste. Shame about the roll though.
>>124921059
There's like 18 units for each faction, and they're pretty much all historical. Sorry there aren't any magic ninja romans.
>>124921195
>baww there's no spanish bull warriors waaaah
fuck off crybaby
RIP Roman empire
>>124920953
C'mon. TAKBIR!
Also, I see that Creative Assembly hasn't corrected the missing province color in North Africa in The Last Roman campaign. The Bactria province was messed up for, what, half a year or more? Awful.
>>124921319
>tfw no Chosen Saxon Armored Horse Riding Cavalry Storm Raiders
I'm gravely disappointed.
>>124921260
>Any source on any of this?
eheh...ahem ask the guy who posted it in the previous thread
>>124921319
CA have a thing of having no unit variation or even progression for anyone who isn't the main faction. You get Melee unit, shitty version of melee unit and elite melee unit and that is it.
So this is germanic "Royalty"....woah
>>124921459
I googled it and the entire thing is literally taken from an urban dictionary post
>>124921319
swordsmen/spearmen/horsmen/bows
They even look the same
In attila rome was differnet from barbars and sassys. And there were horsefuckers, which were completely unlike all others.
Now we have swords swords swords spears more spears. Which play exactly the same.
>>124921461
I disagree and feel like every factions is somewhat specialized to a degree that history allows, e.g. Avars are horse faction, Asturia is skirmisher focused, Saxons get dogs and their godly skirmisher horse unit and so on
What's a good mod that expands on the Seleucids a lot? R1 or R2 mods included
>>124921381
Jesus...t-that's after siege escalation right? tell me it hasn't come to this
>>124921625
Welcome to the middle ages
>>124921651
No. It was like this in vanilla attila too.
>>124921381
WELCOME TO DIAMOND CITY, THE GREAT GREEN JEWEL OF GAUL
>>124921635
There's a mod for rome 2 that's called like Seleucid roster expanded or something like that, not sure how it is though
>>124921381
that's cool
>>124921892
All roads doesn't lead to Rome anymore.
>>124921632
There is no variation within unit types is what I'm saying. They give you know sense of progression or differentiation.
>>124921253
Wait, shit its in warscape? I don't want that ruining my cav charges I remember so well from med 2.
>>124920591
nice shitpost
>>124921734
I don't think it was, I recall recently went to siege Rome early in the game and it still looking normal
Does it change if barbarians take it over or something?
I could swear it was still the Colosseum when I took Rome recently
>>124921987
That's not THE Colosseum in Rome. That never happened.
>>124922170
The the actual Colosseum didn't that better of a fate.
>Used as an open quarry for building materials
>>124922090
No I was playing as the WRE a few days ago and that battle map popped up several times with that in the middle of it.
>>124922170
Never said it was. Nobody did.
>AoC is out
>really wanna play it
>have to raid with my WoW guild instead
>>124922306
gift it to me lad, i'll play instead
>>124922052
Early Middle Ages are less a time for cavalry and more shield walls.
>>124922265
That was what >>124922090 and co were kind of implying.
Rome was the largest city in western europe at the time, it only got really tiny later on.
>>124922052
Anon we are at the point where everyone is admitting Medieval 2 wasn't good and everyone just played it for the setting.
"Muh unit collision" doesn't fly anymore, I hope you won't have too hard a time adapting.
>>124921723

>plate armor
>in the 8th century
>>124922090
>>124922170
>>124922542
It is not the Rome battle map for fuck's sake
>>124922547
I'm glad this is finally the case, I hated it at the time.
I can't wait til people finally start admitting Rome was a huge disappointment too, though that would take people actually playing the first two games.
Playing AoC so far, and all I'm thinking about is how this is an obvious stepping stone for Medieval 3.
I mean, so far so good and i'll play the shit out of this DLC for the meanwhile, but i'll be thinking of Medieval 3 on the horizon.
HAS to be the next one, r-right?
WHERE THE FUCK IS THE BLOGPOSTING?!
I WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE BLOGPOSTING!
I CAN'T PLAY AOC MYSELF, I NEED THAT BLOGPOSTING!
>>124922331
I would if I could, but almost all games are region locked where I live.
>>124922670
I'm the bottom two posts you linked, I'm aware of that, but some people weren't apparently.
>>124922732
I'm busy playing the game to be quite honest

Do we need to post Medieval 2 webms?
Are there really only eight fucking playable factions in Charlememe? What in the cunting christ.
They are not selling the rest as cancerous DLC this time? Funny that "Viking Forefathers" wouldn't be offensively stupid as a DLC title this time, it'd actually be accurate. Literally the fathers of vikings.
>>124922713
>obvious stepping stone for Medieval 3.
oh please please please let this be
it would also be a good stepping stone for pike and shot with all the pike and shot gameplay in Warhammer
>>124922970
Only eight factions. That's decent for a dlc campaign.
Was the widespread usage of rifles inevitable or is it the result of natural selection?
>Brave swordsmen who would fight on the front lines would end up dying at a much higher rate than the cowardly archers who preferred to stay far away and shoot.
>Cowardly archers pass on their genes while brave swordsmen die.

>Fast forward to the modern era of combat and every single infantry soldier is essentially a high-tech archer that shoots from hundreds of meters away
WE COULD HAVE HAD LIGHTSABERS BUT NOW WE'RE STUCK WITH THIS SHITTY BOOM STICKS
>>124922954
no but you will anyway. that's what shitposeter do
>>124922970
Swedes and Norwegians weren't relevant at the time period, Danes were the only relevant vikings to Charlemagnes time.
It's a DLC, it's not a full game, eight factions are understandable.
They said they won't make DLC for DLC because it would make them look bad, but they might update the Charlemagne DLC with more stuff in the future if they feel like it.
If that helps it probably won't take long to have every faction modded in as palyable
>>124922989
Yeah you're right, I didn't think of that.
Fucking shit yes, Medieval 3 just has to come out next.
But I still have my doubts, CA will bring out some bullshit 'African Kings' title next. You fucking watch.
>>124922713
>removed fuckhuge building trees
>got rid of one building tier across the board
>significantly reduced squalor, it makes more sense now
>got rid of "sustenance" income

>the game is more about WAR and less about city management
This is A MILE ahead of vanilla Attila.
When you have a building that provides % increase in wealth from agriculture does it affect only the settlement or the entire province?
>>124923106
But there is literally no reason to make, for instance, the rest of the Anglo Saxon kingdoms locked. It's literally just a line of code.
>>124923134
There is always the mods I guess, but fuck. Why the fuck they started this policy of limiting you massively in who you can play I don't know.
>>124923152
Total African Conquest set during the colonization of Africa might actually be interesting
I like to watch line infantry shoot down natives and I don't really want to play Empire
>>124923180
That church is fucking godly
"8 sanitation in every settlement and 8 sanitation in every settlement in adjacent provinces"
muh dick
>>124923306
All of the other anglo saxon kingdoms would only have the same units as Westphalia. By the way you can unite them all to form a Saxon kingdom.
Playing as Kingdom of Asturias, starting up the reconquista a bit early.
How do I colonise desolate regions?
The option is grayed out. I swear there was a way of doing this in Attila?...
>>124922970
>Only 8 playable factions in a DLC campaign
>Old games shipped with less than 8 in the entire game
>>124923108
Armor was on the path to eventually becoming mech armor with anime esque sword fights until firearms came along and made armor mostly irrelevant.
>>124923306
>It's literally just a line of code
It's really more than just that, they all need units, event chains, art, lot's of QA and so on
There's really no big difference between Westphalia and the other Saxon kingdoms you conquer to unite Saxony
I hope mods unlock different starting locations though
>>124923506
In Attila you sent an army there and right clicked it, like you would siege it.
>>124923416
You mean Mercia, right?
And yes I know they'd all have the same units, that is why it makes even less sense that you can't play them. There is nothing extra CA have to do, except make the faction selection menu work differently I guess, with them grouped again.
>>124923527
Old games tended to have less than 20 factions total + you could unlock all of them with little file tweaking
>>124923306
>But there is literally no reason to make, for instance, the rest of the Anglo Saxon kingdoms locked. It's literally just a line of code.
It isn't though. Unplayables don't have all sorts, like custom victory conditions and descriptions etc
>>124923306
>Why the fuck they started this policy of limiting you massively in who you can play I don't know.
They have done this since forever. E.G Lots of locked out factions in barbarian invasion. Kinda late to complain about it now.
>>124923568
Yeah shit didn't read "Anglo".
>you can build a wrestling arena for imperium points
lmao
>>124922306
>playing Orclords of draenor
face it, you want yrel to suck on the big brown dick.
>>124923557
Oh never mind, it had something to do with movement points.
Worried it was a bug or something, thanks anyway fellow Christian.
>>124923745
No problem fellow believer in the right faith!
Fight back some Infidels from holy Christian soil, for the one true god!
>>124923643
Just give them the same victory conditions as their neighbours, the same descriptions. I guess you have to write a paragraph alongside, but it's really fucking lazy to only give one Anglo Saxon Kingdom.
>>124923416
>>124923557
>two different people don't know the difference between Anglo-Saxons and Saxons
Where the fuck am I
>>124923860
>Just give them the same victory conditions as their neighbours, the same descriptions. I guess you have to write a paragraph alongside, but it's really fucking lazy to only give one Anglo Saxon Kingdom.
So theres literally no fucking point then.
>>124923860
I'm sorry, I didn't read the "Anglo"
I don't know why I skipped over it, lately I'm having weird problems like that, I make a lot of typos that I didn't do in the past, sometimes words are completely different when I read my post after I clicked "Send" than what I thought they were when I typed it all up
Maybe I have cancer
>>124923651
Maybe I just notice it more because I know more about history and play GS games as well now, it's still awful.
I swear back in the day you just had to beat a faction to unlock them.
>>124924014
>I swear back in the day you just had to beat a faction to unlock them.
Some factions could be unlocked that way but many were locked "forever".
>>124923965
It's okay man I feel you. I have a weird thing where I make phonetic typos, I type out words that are spelt entirely differently but pronounced the same way. It was just two people making the same mistake that was weird.
Only one Saxon tribe is fine, but more of the Anglo Saxon kingdoms would really be nice. Where the fuck is my Northumbria and Wessex?
>>124923108
Cowardly? Bet you'd shit yourself if you had to trade volleys with enemy line infantry.
>>124924130
>Only one Saxon tribe is fine
Why is that fine but not the other?
>>124924130
Wessex wasn't really relevant to anything until about a hundred years later when vikings deleted Mercia and Wessex conquered back England
>>124923937
You know quite a lot of people play these games because they like history, right? Jesus fuck.
>>124924250
Yea but it's not hard to see why they only do one faction per culture group or else it's just literal copies.
>go to play Attila
>game set itself to small unit sizes again
goddamit
>>124924221
Some are barely documentary vague barbar pagan tribes, the other were established kingdoms that we know a fair amount with laws etc. Mercia was just the top one at the time, but Northumbria had been in the past and Wessex would be after
>>124923207
All the +x% to y improvements in Attila (and Rome) apply to the whole Province, not just the sub-province they're built in.
>>124924240
They were all relevant at the time
>>124924401
this desu, would have liked Wessex
Would have also liked Norwegians too though
>>124924401
> but Northumbria had been in the past and Wessex would be after
So they are not that relevant to the campaign setting.
>>124924471
ah perfect thank you.
>>124923108
Despite the question presented being fucking retarded, I often wonder what we'd come up in some hypothetical warfare scenarios. Like, we have all technology we have today, but we establish rules on what can or not be done, how warfare ends up looking like. I guess stating "no blackpowder" would just lead us to caveats like "use some other sort of combustible", so I'm basically thinking of a restriction to most projectiles unless they use human strength.
I'm guessing we would've ended up with very elaborate slings and crossbows and some pretty cool armor, with some sort of shock infantry using some sort of halberd.
Looking at Charlemagne politics, there doesn't seem to be any real penalty for going Absolute Power in the politics. You get +5 loyalty and since corruption is now capped at 60%, the +10% corruption means nothing.
>>124924510
>implying Northumbria didn't have by far the largest cultural impact of the time, directly on Charlemange.
>>124924558
Open the province overview window and it'll show you a breakdown of income from its regions. I'm pretty sure it even tells you what kind of income it is (industry/agri/sustenance/culture etc...) so you can fine tune bonus buildings you build.
Good way of optimizing the resource bonuses too
>Cordoba has the same Muslim-killing intro as the rest of the factions
>>124924650
>I know nothing about the period: The Post
>general dies instantyl
Now I understand why the Charlemagne AI keeps it's general sitting back
Fugg :D:D:
>>124924718
This time mods will actually fix it. CA has done the "one faction to represent a culture group" since forever basically. Every other nation/kingdom was just represented by the shitty grey rebels that later got upgraded into minor factions.
>>124924632
How do you define human strength though?
Xbows use more than just human strength.
>>124924510
Both moreso than Mercia
Have they removed the drag movement?
As in having a bunch of units selected and then drag them in to position or is there a new shortcut for it.
>>124925001
There's a shortcut I don't know, I've seen people do it.
If you control+1 selected units you can move them and they will stay in the selected formation
Control+g or clicking on the small lock will break that formation
>>124924942
>>124924942
Honestly the worst is Rome II, where they taunt you with all those delicious factions that are as fully implemented as any you are allowed to play every time you end your turn. Somehow that's worse than grey rebels, where they can honestly say it was just allocation of resources.
You are right though, mods will fix it.
>>124925101
Yeah that's the problem I don't want them in static formation but I do not want to break it down everytime I want to do adjustments to it.
It was such a sleek way of moving larger groups around imo
gotta say im enjoying the changes desu
>>124925001

>start up Westphalia campaign

Fuck Saxons, who else should I play as?
>>124925346
me too
I'm liking it
>>124925346
The battle ones? How do they feel?
Oh god why do I go on TW Centre.
"Cavalry wil never be as good as Med II I am very upset" is not a valid complaint when the fucking core charge mechanics in that game were bugged.
You'd think these guys hadn't even played the new games if they think the cavalry charges lack impact or power.
Can someone who has it give a screenshot of Britain from Mercia's perspective? Interested which towns they choose, etc.
>>124925382
Avars or Lombards.
>>124925001
I always hated that because I would mistakenly drag shit all over in the middle of battle
>play custom siege battle in Cordoba
>city has both churches and mosques
>>124925539
Neither, play Asturias and remove muslims from the motherland.
>>124925549
As much as I shit on CA, they are damn good at making pretty cities nowadays.
>>124925549
Well it probably did.
>>124925549
This is accurate though, large part of population remained Christian and was allowed to practice their religion more or less freely. They weren't allowed to ring bells or made a processions, IIRC.
>>124923687
No, I want to suck on her futa horsecock.
If you're not playing as the Danes or Westphalia then you're a kuck.
Why do you reject your ancestors and embrace the foreign god?
>>124925698
This triggers /pol/, though.
>>124925793
>le /pol/ buggyman
>>124925793
Pls don't.
>>124925549
Poor Spain.
>>124925775
Didn't that guy murder someone?
>>124925871
>>124925869
Sorry, but we were all thinking it.
>>124925902
And he set a church on fire
Sure is edgy!
>>124925923
That doesn't matter. No need to start shit.
>>124925902
He also burned down some really old norse churches. Pretty sad.
>>124925793
Why would it trigger /pol/? Mosques and churches exist in the same cities today as well and those cities are terrible shitholes, just as Spain was a terrible shithole when the Muslims occupied it.
There's nothing triggering about multiculturalism since it always proves /pol/'s point because you can just look at it and point out how much of a clusterfuck it always is. It's like watching some retard slam an icepick through his own forehead. It doesn't trigger you, it's just retarded.
>Mosques
>real
Ever wondered why you only see them on TV?
>>124924946
I guess something that needs to be "prepared" at the time. Like if you get a team lifting boulders and using levers to operate a trebuchet that's human strength, or one of those lever/windlass operated crossbows, but if you can't use anything that depends on electricity, fuel and so on. Maybe we remove levers and such, so that in the crossbow case it needs to be one you can pull the string yourself.
>>124926224
Well I guess it shows that it is possible to build churches and live under muslim rule as a non-muslim when everything is going fine. It all turns to shit when times are hard though. And that will happen a lot.
>>124926224
I know what you're trying to do, but not taking the bait, sorry.
1-3 Jutes
4-6 Danes

>>124926494
There's a huge difference between churches already built in christian land and trying to build a church in muslim lands
>tfw roving band of faggot ravaging my kingdom and I can't do anything to stop them
God forgive me
>>124926631
Yeah, and both happened.
Attila is on sale. Is it worth getting if I enjoyed Rome 2 ? Is it better / worse atm? There's like 6 dlcs, are they worth it?
>>124926757
Sale where?
>>124926494
>Well I guess it shows that it is possible to build churches and live under muslim rule as a non-muslim when everything is going fine
It's hardly out of the kindness of their heart though. If anything, they have some economic incentive to keep small minorities of non-Muslims around so they can extort the jizya tax out of them.
>>124926224
Yeah, It's not like Cordoba would become the most populous city in the world and the greatest centre of learning in the next two centuries or anything.
>>124926746
Source?
Wow every building is shit in AoC.
I mean I don't mean technically shit I mean thematically, the best stuff I can create is backwards markets and wells, no more waterworks and shit, you can't even create giant walls anymore.

>>124926757
It's better
DLC wise Sandpeople is best, followed by Longbears, followed sneaky Celts.
Viking Forefathers are not worth it.
Last Roman is alright, it's fun if you want to be Belasarius and reconquer Rome, but you really don't need it.
Charlemagne came out today and it's fun so far, maybe play vanilla until it goes on sale
>>124926881
>Córdoba was one of the most advanced cities in the world as well as a great cultural, political, financial and economic centre. The Great Mosque of Córdoba dates back to this time; under caliph Al-Hakam II Córdoba had 3,000 mosques, splendid palaces and 300 public baths, and received what was then the largest library in the world, housing from 400,000 to 1,000,000 volumes.
Well, that sounds nice. Maybe the Muslims aren't so bad after all. Oh wait, what's this next part
>Upon a change of rulers, though, the situation changed quickly. "The vizier al-Mansur–the unofficial ruler of al-Andalus from 976 to 1002—burned most of the books on philosophy to please the Muslim clergy; most of the others were sold off or perished in the civil strife not long after.
Yeah, that sounds more like the Islam that we all know and love.
What the fuck steam? Really?
Trying to install Charlemagne DLC and it's stuck on 47% and Instead of counting down, install time is infinatly counting up

I'm not your history teacher. Read a fucking book.

Centuries of progress in Islam basically just means that they were going through a period of "decadence" where they barely gave a shit about the religion. Muslims thrive when Islam is mostly irrelevant to the people and everyone suffers when they go back to seriously believing in it. This is a cycle that Muslims have been going through for a very long time. For example, Al-Hakam II, the caliph of Cordoba that was best known for preserving all of those books, was also a homosexual and he had a large male harem. This is very common during these periods.
The west will look at these time periods and say, "See! Look how enlightened Islam is!" and so on, but Muslims look at it and they think that it's a shameful and disgusting period of horrible decadence. Hard-line Muslims would have murdered every single one of these leaders that made Cordoba a rich city while praising the ones that ruined it because it was the ones who ruined it that were the actual devout Muslims. There's a reason why torching the libraries was something that "pleased the Muslim clergy."

Muslims have always been progressive and tolerant
modern day "terrorism" is just a reaction to western athiest and christian oppressment of their states and a forced division of their peoples out of fear that the Caliphate may reform and put an end to their unjust behavior

Look at India for instance. Aurangzeb was the most pious of the Mughal Emperors. He happened to be legit pious, live austerely and all that.
And it so happens his reign was the absolute worst, heralded the collapse of the empire the moment he died even if he nominally expanded it to its apex, pissed off nominally Muslim and Hindoo alike, facilitated the militarization of the Sikhs by continuing their persecution.
Compare him to the venerated and loved (by us Westerners, that is) Babur or Akbar, the later of which even tried to develop a syncretic faith to unite his various subject's faiths.

That might have not been accurate or enforced in all muslim countries at the time though. I can't find anything on the restrictions put upon the christians in Cordoba but I guess it won't be that hard.

I'll be working on them and the Celts next.
First is getting the mod compatible with the latest release and then releasing sand-kingdoms work. Then I'd like to prioritize doing JUST visuals, no stat editing whatsoever if I can avoid it, for AoC. Then after that I would work on the celts and nords since in the process of doing that for AOC I'd get new VMDs for Norse/Saxons and Celts.
Sand Kingdoms stuff is pretty much done except for unit costs and final look-overs, I'm sure I've done some mistakes here or there. It just has to be made compatible with AoC patch.
And for the short term I am going to leave my Alan overhaul where it lay and leave the white huns as clones of the regular huns because I am not going to backtrack and do the fucking Alans again.
