>>125368820
Personally, I find that getting whatever civilian technology you need to get walls on non-capital settlements and whatever military technology improves crossbowmen are the two most important aspects of playing WRE. Get the right chokepoints with this and some garrisons and you get an almost impenetrable defense.

Main campaign wise I think Franks are a good point to start at, AoC wise Merica and Asturias have so far been easiest, Merica has a more standard roster but they have to fight some annoying wars early on

What mods for Rome 2 my senpaitachi
>>125367842
>Medieval 3 never ever
Why not, excluding ye olde games and Shogun 2.
Rome 1 (antiquity) => Barb Invasion (dark ages) => Medieval 2 (medieval) => Kingdoms (includes early renaissance) => Empire (colonial era) => Napoopan (early XIXth century) => FoTS (late XIXth century)
Following this logic the next TW would include WW1 or at very least Vicky era, both of which would be hard to handle with the current TW design due to sheer scale, so they rebooted the series.
Rome 2 (antiquity) => Attila (dark ages) => Charlemagne (early medieval) => ???Warhammer isn't historical, it's histerical
>>125374386

>>125373716
Franks for the main campaign huh? alright, thanks. As for Charly, i've screwed around with Mercia for my first time to see how the game works. Mostly it was fairly easy, except for some bastard wWelshmen who kept razing my city and London being so putrid and foul its diseases started spreading to the rest of the Isles. Pretty fun.
Gotta pray. Battle is no excuse.
Back to my Asturias campaign.
Now, we're preparing to invade Sicily, and simultaneously hit Pamplona, which has been exiled into Bayonne. We're going to establish a defensive perimeter along the Pyrenees, with enough garrisons to hold off small invasions.
It's refreshing to no longer be facing cav-packed Moorish armies.
Is this even accurate? Gastald Swordsmen for anyone wondering. Guv's reskin since there isn't any other that I saw.
Avars are really fun and those god damn horse archers are op beyond compare!
>>125375240
It is not accurate.
>>125375430
Have you gotten to the later melee cav yet?
I liked the horse archers, but the only shock cavalry I could recruit so far was pretty whack

Is age of charlemagne any good? I want KNIGHTS
>Anglo-Saxons
I defeated the Sassanids in a huge battle as White Huns before entering Persia. Then I teamed up with ERE, demolished the entirety of Persia, ended all their satrapies and razed Ctesiphon to dust. But still despite my best efforts the Sassanids are #1 and wrecked the shit out of my buddy, the ERE.

Is there ever any reason to not use the flaming rounds if you are not shooting and stone towers?

That carnage. Half of those men are from the onagers.
Can't wait to use them on the remaining Moors.
>>125377156
Hmm, I can do with Vikings.
>>125377023
I just had a game where the Sassanid emperor started out with 'admires Eastern Romans'. The ERE still fell apart by itself and the Sassanids had destroyed the White Huns by turn 30.
what's the goat mod for atilla?
>mfw I just discovered the White Huns are playable
>>125377719
They added them last week with the AoC patch
"If you can play Attila on Ultra at 60+fps you can do the same with Warhammer. Just like with Attila the extreme setting is designed for future hardware, in fact we've given better textures to units whilst reducing their performance impact" -livesteam.
Gonna hold them to that.
How do I git gud in attila? I'm getting assfucked as ERE
>>125375830
Going to do this roll early for the faction after Lombards (already did Asturias).
am i fucked?

>he came with 3 full stacks right as a rebellion started up in another province ,

> there is still a full doom stack led by charlie himself
the rebels in the picture have about 3/4s of a stack, and I'm recruiting a new army quick as i can
>>125377967
Take it slow man
When you get attacked in your towns, fight the battle instead of autoresolving. Your towers and defensive testudo will shred an attacker. You might even win sometimes.
Keep half stacks ready to pounce on worn out enemies after they attack you and you should be able to stabilise. That's how you can get rid of the Visigoths and really blunt the sissynids. Sassanid's are awful in street fighting, just make sure to always have your armies in towns if there are enemy stacks in range. They will drop 4 at a time on you
Your starting melee units can't kill people for shit, but they are tanky as hell. Use scout equites and merc cav to hit enemies in the rear once they've engaged. Levis Armaturae are also really good at dealing out loads of damage.. Oh and git gud my friend
>>125378383
Do as your cousins did a few hundred years ago, and relocate to Britain.

>>125381840
nah the game just searchers your browser history :-)
>>125378943
>Your towers and defensive testudo will shred an attacker. You might even win sometimes.
Please. You can win almost any defensive battle if you have at least 4 testudo-capable infantry.
Just block off the chokepoints to the central raised area, and keep your cavalry units hidden outside the city in wooded areas.
If the enemy leave any missile troops unprotected, snipe them with your cav, though watch out for their cav (not usually a problem, because the retarded AI likes to rush them against your testudo ASAP). If and when you win at one of the chokepoints, or they simply don't send men to attack one, send the men from that chokepoint, and any reserves you have inside the walls, to run around and hit the moshpitting retards at the other chokepoint(s) in the rear.

>>125377457
Fucking hell, I see how Sicily counts as #2. In addition to these stacks, they have another full one in the waters west of Sardinia. I only have two full combat stacks myself, only one of which is on Sardinia. The rest of my score comes from territory and shitty garrison armies.
>>125381926
That was sarcasm senpai. But yeah, this is all true and pretty easy to pull off. Only problem is that as the ERE you don't get guard posts so you'll have to make do with sparse troops when you don't have an army.
/twg/ bls halp
My cpu was overheating so I installed a liquid cooler and another system fan but now my computer shuts off about 10-30 seconds into the boot process and I think it's because my power supply has met it's match.
I haven't bought one in ages, idk what to go for.
Should I get a 500W? 600W? more?
I'm running a really old graphics card (like a GT 740 or some shit, like a 50 dollar card or something), an Fx-8350 amd cpu, 8 gigs of ram, and a 500gig standard harddrive with the liquid cooler and two other fans. I was going to upgrade the graphics card so I want wiggle room for that, but I want to know what to shoot for. I think the power supply I have is anywhere from 300-400 watts so that's probably the problem. Gonna suck if I install a new power supply and it still crashing during the boot, but gotta start somewhere.
>>125383941
It begins, the largest naval battle I've ever fought in a Total War game. Neither me or my enemies have ever given a shit about it.
How severe is the seasickness debuff? I have a shitton of catapults, but far less actual combat troops than them.
>>125383904
Which faction/mod is that?
>>125382130
Carthago Nova or Tarraco. I went with Tarraco myself, a nice central location between Iberia, Gaul, and Italy, while still being in Iberia.
>>125384217
There's an easy solution to this problem, it's been addressed in this youtube video.

Has Radious updated for Age of Charlemagne?
what does it take for an ai to become your vassal in medieval 2? france only has 1 settlement left and they still wont accept
>>125384418
Our fleet, as viewed from the enemy side. We've placed our catapult ships in the rear, with our marines in front to protect them.
>>125384581
Oh, cool that they've already got unlocker mods. Any for the Celts yet? I'm hankering to play a Welsh game.
And do the slav and sicily ones add any new units?
>>125384519

I'd go for 600W+ PSU, always future proof your hardware if possible so you can upgrade other shit later imo, make sure it's a decent one though, you don't want it dying after a couple of years.
>>125385271
We only manage to sink a few of their ships before they reach our line, but I pity the poor Greeks on their doomed ships.

>>125385271
>bothering with anything besides ramming ships
>>125385294
fagetFor real, though, it sounds like it's your PSU from the info you're providing us. Watercoolers take a fair share of Wattage. If you buy a good PSU you might not need to buy a new one for another seven years if it comes with a guarantee like mine did (Corsair).
In addition,I'm sorry for my rude response; I burnt my wrist over the teapot after pouring myself some forest fruit flavoured tea. I was feeling upset over the series of events that unfolded before me and my wrist is now red and stings a little.

We win the battle, but it's too hectic to focus on getting any more good screencaps.
The Sicilian fucks and their 4 doomstacks just keep getting closer, however.
>>125386656
It looks like this.
>>125386746
Woohoo, river battle against the Lombards! Our first fight against them, too.
>>125377087
Kinda late but they get the best shock cav in the game I think,it's a hybrid unit with bows,however despite being the so called cav "masters" of the era,they get beat by everybody else's elite cav and your best anti cav option is tribesmen hybrid spear/bows. The noble swords are also the third best sword inf in the game though strangely,with only Mercia and The Danes having better infantry and asturias tied with em.
>>125386656
I dunno about that anons tea but If you're a bong and you have a Whittards wherever you live then dear god they do the greatest teas I've ever had.
>tfw I tried their mulled wine tea for the first time
Words are not enough.
AoC Kingdom of Kent mod when?
And speaking of the Kingdom of Kent, I'm playing as Mercia and they keep getting all pissy due to some arbitrary oppression stat showing up on my actions against them. How to I lower this? it's reaching the 100 area and is a bitch to keep down via bribes. I'm considering just conquering them and being done with it.
>>125387003
Fuck, I'm really hating the lack of archers now. Fucking cunts took out an entire unit of ambushers with their bowmen before I could pull them back.
And after I send my cavalry across to try and take out the fuckers, I find out they have 10 fucking units of cavalry. They're even worse than the Moors!

>>125388412
So, it looked like we were right fucked for a while, but then we miraculously won a cavalry duel on the opposite side of the river, and got a few really good hits off with the onager.
We routed the men in melee, and our cav on the other side was able to come round and hit their fucking archers.
The day is ours, but at great cost. We're going to kill every last fucking archer we get our hands on.
>>125388565

>>125389289
It was a horribly bloody battle. Virtually their entire force of 3k, and 2/3 of our force of 1800, died along the Aude river. Most of the kills on our side came from our artillery, the four pieces of which got 675 kills in total, and our cavalry, who got around 1200 total, one unit reaching over 400.
The overwhelming majority of their kills came from their archers, with one unit getting over 200 kills alone.

>>125390329
That doesn't matter in multiplayer though. Give me a generic swordman units over a SONS OF (Insert famous city/country here) unit that is actually cost ineffective and just a waste of space.

What's the best overhaul mod for Rome 2?
>>125389934
You can post them all you want. You still want the babby games.
>>125390760
>i play TW for the multiplayer
The only TW worth playing online is Shogun 2.
>>125391370
>having ghosts in your army
Reported to Valve for VAC

are elephants mammals?
>>125391417
I have played it a lot though. AoC feels kinda like a slower shogun 2 mp imo. The balance is pretty solid.
>>125391632
This is just for you, you fucking pisser.
>>125390548
They never fixed anything, which makes it even more horrible.
>>125391165

It baffles me that pikes are even "allowed" on the walls in total war games.
>>125391632
>pikes on wall
THIS IS TRIGGERING ME SO MUCH DELETE THIS

>>125392184
Oh, you think that's bad? The pikes actually worked great for the AI in that example. For some reason, they didn't count as being pointing everywhere but my units, meaning they lasted close to 6 minutes like that, while being buttfucked by 3 units.
AI is shit at coding and you'll always find examples of it being shit. Always.
The fag wants real games, well, let him play Empire and Napoleon. That almost has turks.
>>125392423
Wouldn't call Empire a "real" game imo. It's worse than rome 2 now.
>>125392423
Every single TW has shit gameplay mechanics when it comes to wall fighting on sieges. Funnily enough, I think Shogun 2 has the best mechanics out of the whole series.
Spiderman japs are a little strange though desu
>not using a modified pike with an extra point to fork a ladder and push it off the wall
>>125391662
>balance is pretty solid
It is decent but it still needs work, there's a few cases of units underperforming/overperforming for there price and one hand and two hand axes are lacking their vs. infantry bonus, not as notable on the two hander since they got the high attacks but 1 hand axes are useless like early attila again.
>>125392618
Attila and shogun 2 has the most enjoyable sieges imo.
>>125391417
>fancy giving shogun multiplayer another go
>first match
>blunderbuss cav
>alt-f4
>>125392656
Yeah it definitely needs some tweaks but it is pretty solid for being just released.
>>125391662
The only reason shogun 2 had multiplayer worth playing was its avatar campaign.
>>125392148
Whu shouldn't it be?
>>125393173
Well it looks silly, it's obviously not going to fully work, it might be op and it probably isn't very historically accurate.
>>125393173
how do you get a pike on a wall
you cant carry it up the tower stairs
>>125393425
You can easily bring pikes up a wall, it won't be very practical due to the nature of close quarters fighting but there's no reason why a pike unit shouldn't be able to move up a wall.
>>125390548
Do they at least work if you keep them still and let the enemy come to you? I was looking forward to hitting pike & shot age in my M2TW SS campaign.
>>125393767
No, they dont
>>125392942
Agreed, one of the better releases far as balance goes(and in the case of rome 2 and non kingdoms med 2, better than the finished product.
>>125393747
The pike unit should be able to go on the walls but they shouldn't be able to use their pikes in my opinion. I just find it weird that is was possible when other unit abilites got greyed out when the unit was on the walls.
>>125393601
Are you merely pretending, yiu hoist it up with a rope or something,it isn't hard to find away, although as already said it's use on a wall would be rather limited and specific.
>Get all the way down to 1 cross without being excommunicated.
>Alright I guess Rome is next.
>Take it easily, papal army nowhere nearby.
>Realize that I need to kill the pope or my ass is still excommunicated.
>Can't find the fucking Papal army any-fucking-where.
I even cheated and walked all around Europe and North Africa.
WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?!
>>125393767
They might work if you remove their swords and/or give them custom animations IIRC.
>>125393601
Pikes in that age were usually in two or more pieces for ease of carry.
>>125394070
>>125394232
yes but in terms of R2 battles a pike unit on walls would have to toss away their pikes or take time to break them down in order to leave the walls
>>125394115
Probably hiding in the woods somewhere in Italy
>>125394340
Well a pike unit should drop its pikes too when flanked but it doesn't happen. I suppose it's an engine limitation.
>>125394115
just toggle fow and hunt his ass down
>>125394552
They do in Attila
Actually in attila if you get flanked the flanks will drop pikes and attack while the rest keep using pikes, which is pretty cool.
>>125394340
The same reason archers draw their arrows from mid air and units are stuck in rigid formations, gameplay limits and liberties with realism to make the gameplay less tedious.
>>125394115
Your faction will be reconciled if your faction leader dies.
>>125394659
They switch to their secondary, not drop it. You can give chase immediately and they'll magick their pikes out of nowhere.
My Westphalia campaign is literally border-gore: the game.
>>125394993
looks like EU3
>>125390514
While the war with the Lombards has turned into a Sitzkrieg, the war in Sardinia is only heating up.
We bypass their armies and head straight for Cagliari. They've depleted it of troops to go and hit Olbia in the north, so we only have to face the garrison.
Fuck, this game is beautiful sometimes.
>>125394747
He's 38 and so far from anywhere to die. Besides I want to immediately continue taking European lands and I'll be excommunicated right away.

Found him near Gibraltar.
M2 is the best TW

Is the feminist dlc the only way to get them? Are they removed in DeI?
>>125395752
Are you really that desperate and pathetic?
>>125395328
The fun for me in M2 is seeing how fast I can take every province.
Gotta be North European if you wanna be fast. That way you can immediately recruit in most towns you conquer and move your army on leaving it empty before the end of the turn.
Southern European is suffering. Better armies but you have to drop off 3 or 4 units at each town.
>>125395889
Wrong. T*rks are objectively the best faction for blitz, you can easily conquer the whole map (americas not counted) in less than 20 turns.
>>125367557
Has anyone posted this map from the humble bundle yet? If I'm understanding this right, the western badlands are going to be one province with 8 regions?
Here is the full resolution map for anyone that doesnt want to pay into humble jew

>>125395889
>>125396151
You're both wrong
With England you can conquer everything important in less than 5 turns, because everything that isn't England isn't relevant
>>125396407
The map has been out way before humble bundle.
