Guess it's time to culturally enrich you the hard way, infidel
>happiness/order decreases with garrisons inside the walls
WHY, shouldnt the soldiers create some order?
I want someone to make a kid for Attila that replaces one of the factions with MERICA, makes their religion 'McDonalds', all of their religious buildings can be little McDonalds', their priests can be Ronald McDonald clowns or Hamburglars or some shit, and factions that end up converting get like -10 growth. Also their unique cav would be fat people on scooters
>>125449259

>park renowned and loved general in a city

???
>>125450181
It should work like this
Armies should cause unrest until they reach a critical mass where the mere presence of so many soldiers discourages anything, it makes sense for a few hundred soldiers eating and shitting for free causing unrest but when there is an entire army it should be something like martial law
>>125449374
>>125449554
Was Rome II the only game to try and make garrisons hurt morale?
>>125450437
Imo that'd be a good idea but as soon as they leave have a recent "residence" debuff.
>>125450789
I think it does in Atilla?
>>125450789
>>125451031
It's neither Attila or Rome II, it's the DEI mod for Rome II
Any good mods for empire? vanilla is pretty bad
>>125451218
LME, Darthmod.
Which one is superior is a subject of hot debate among scholars!
>>125450789
>>125451031
It's just the DEI mod for Rome 2

>where to house them tho, generalissimo?
>There's the barracks and defensive structures, but the cities own garrisson and law enforcement forces and fresh recruits in training are stationed and housed in some of it. Whatever, they can live for a time in tight quaters.
>There's three major squares in the city, we can set up camps there, preferrably the less reliable forces.
>Still leaves some, gonna have to set them up in people's homes and or larger public complexes
What we'll end up with
>garrisson and army guys hating each other and starting up shit for no other reason than uz vs dem
>soldiers hating being kept in squares and grounds on camp regieme, the populus hating having a their squares and grounds occupied by jugheads leering at their women
>people hating the injustice of having been evicted to house soldiers who'll probably wreck the place anyway

Fuck me, I didn't see the thread end.
>>125445751
It had some great ideas, but it was badly executed . It was a huge setting that CA was not ready to handle when it was developed.
The thing with games like M2, Attila or Shogun 2 is that they have coherent design. It's not about the individual mechanics, it's about how they work with each other.
That's why Rome 2 or Empire were clusterfucks, they weren't designed in a polished way (not to mention the technical issues both games had and still have). Sure, both had a few cool mechanics that really stood out, but they didn't work at all with the rest of the game.
Any good overhauls for aoc yet?

Could he be more annoying.
>>125456428
I was thinking the exact same thing, he's acting like he's defeating some god of the game, the guy charged with cav in front of pikes wtf
>>125456612
no choice, box guy had no flank
I don't think charliecuck liked my invasion of Brittany
>>125456745
He had a choice, you do the same thing in R2 too, you focus on one unit and it will eventually break, there, you have your gap
This guy instead tried to wrap around like a moron
>>125455429
Christianity is a Jewish cult and not native to Europe, idiot.
>>125455613
This doesn't look like vanilla M2, some kind of mod?
>>125456936
to my understanding it is vanilla
>>125456987
fuck maybe it is, I haven't played it in so long I might've just forgotten.
>>125456868
for sure, that would give him a chance, but his army comp was really not suited to breaking a pikebox as russian infantry is shit.
>>125453289
Neat. That is brittany right? Gonna have to vassalize them sometime.
Guys does the M2 collection in the humble bundle include all the expansions and such?
>>125454153
>Mostly pre-islam kebab
>talking about Saladin & posting Umyyads
rightio
>>125457217
Yup
I think they have 2 special units, the other one is also a missile cav
>>125448351
r-roll
>>125456868
He was probably taken by surprise and couldn't really get his shit together to analyse the situation properly. Missile cav propably helped in keeping in off-balance and forcing his hand when he really didn't have a plan. With no missile cav he might ahve gotten over the surprise and thought of something.
>>125448351

>>125457337
i think it does, even though they're very nad at communicating the fact
>>125457646
not taking no more than 2 units of archers really trashed his chance to win

Escape into the sand, you pillage and then fuck off to the sand before coming back to pillage again once the modifier runs out. Once they're worn out you can go on a full shitfucking spree.
Does anyone listened that radio podcast about total war warhammer 4 hours ago?
>>125452351
That's why I rather liked DeI's system. garrisoning an army caused unrest but decreased maintenance costs, while patrolling the country side increased public order but left the army vulnerable to a possible counterattack. It was semi-realistic.
For the kingdom forming objectives in charlemagne, can you have some of the listed regions vassalized or do they have to be directly controlled by your faction?
>>125457342
I do like the umayyads and saladin, but as far as TW goes I play pre-islamic kebabs.
>>125461517
>all those samefag redheads
>>125452351
>>125463824
Agreed. Gameplay wise it can be a bit annoying, but it really is just something else you need to manage and I think it's a nice addition overall.
Can anyone that plays Charlemagne take a screenshot of the Duchy of Croatia and its generals/units, please?
Dead thread
>>125465854

>>125465685
Got you senpai
http://imgur.com/a/d9eRS
Pretty standard stuff, I avoided taking a screenshot of the standard units but they also have a couple of archers and a swordmen and armoured swordsmen unit
>>125460146
jesus anon what did you do
>>125467057
Oh, they look pretty standard. I was hoping they would maybe put in at least 1 special unit for each minor faction. Thanks senpai.
>>125467508
Croatians have Western units for some reason.
Bohemians and other Elba Slavs have their own units.
BTW Anyone can upload on mediafare the mod unlocking Slavs and Byzantines?
>>125467090
I-i was just minding my own business, getting attacked by suicidal Irishmen, and then when I checked on York then *poof* The Picts and Northumbrians had decided to switch kingdoms.
>>125467650
>Croatians have Western units for some reason.
Well, they were partly under Frankish rule and they are considered to be in that time part of the Frankish sphere of influence as they were allies of the Franks against Avars. Maybe that has something to do with it idk.
>>125467057
I had hoped for some 2 handed high charge bonus Irish or Pict units baka desu senpai
>>125467848
The reason is that CA didn't want to spend time creating a load of unique units for an unplayable faction.
South Slav/Croatian warfare and Frankish warfare had very little in common
> Tomb Kings still not announced
>>125468145

but seriously, i want some new info
>>125467057
You forgot the Skutatoi swords, family
Both me (Aragon) and Spain attempted to invade the neutral held Valencia. Pretty cool how you can have three way battles in this game.
Also, how do you retrain units?
>>125453289
Hi there fellow toaster-player. It is nice to know you are comfortable posting your screenshots without fear of mockery.
>>125469679
Open up the training queue, click on an army, drag and drop understrength units into the queue.
>>125449448
Literally did it the day it came out.
Can anyone see a viable way to win this? I've tried several times and can't do it.
>>125470619
Put your levy dudes on the outside of the walls at the bottom. You are sacrificing them, but while the enemy approaches, you have double the guns firing on the enemy and any enemy engaging them in melee take have lowered defense to the volleys from your better line men above.
>>125470619
Show enemy deployment
>>125469679
Damn, is that the Steam version?
>>125471260
>>125471882
Deployment, the angle is really bad for getting more than 3 units in wall cover to be able to fire on them approaching (as far as I can tell)
>>125470619
use your levies as sacrifices to delay the soldiers while your line infantry kill them
>>125470619
You're not savescumming, are you?
>>125472163
Is indeed.
>>125469924
thx
>>125472175
Use the spears to bait the enemy then run laps round your walls (while you're shooting from the walls)
But your main priority is to stop them from climbing the main wall straight to the stop of the castle, try and hold them on the second level

Is this the Land of the Rising Sun mod?
If so that accuracy nerf is probably why you're getting raped.
>>125474581
Interesting you managed it so quickly then, I must be doing something terrible wrong. What strategy did you employ?
>>125474581
He has line infantry and not Shogunate Guard, also he's playing a mod that changes the accuracy of line infantry to like 35.
>>125474714
Thought you had Shogunate Guard my mistake. Let me try again
>>125473848
Beastmen live in many different places. Some live in the woods inside empire borders. Norscan people(norse/viking like people) can become chaos warriors. Chaos warriors are usually consists of norscan and kurgan people.
>>125472532

This was an interesting insight to how bad I am at Total War, appreciate it.
I am waiting for a steam sale o buy attila. hopefully it will be 75% off. In the mean time i pirated attila to see how fun it is and I like it so far but for some reason mods won't work. is it because I have a pirated version? I put the mods in thedata foloder which is just new flags and less colonization cost but it doesnt work when i am in game.
>>125477908
What did you do different?
Plus keep in mind the deployments are not the same, I may of had it easier.
Oh no, M1 crashes after the intro ;_;
Gonna ask for refund, I got so excited :(
>>125478142

>>125478142
Nigga don't be a scab. If you're gonna play pirated, you have the pirate experience of not having up to date patches etc. Once you buy the game you can download Radious, the greatest mod that has ever been dreamt of.
>>125480165
Right before impact, the Muskets retreat behind the lines of pikemen prepared to meet the Scots. This is going to be a bloody encounter.

>>125480323
A veritable work of its time, Radious mod is an author’s input on the contemporary attitude so critical of mods that they’re often not given a chance at all, a window through which we see the creator’s wish to move his audience, as well as frustrations at the vessels of these emotions being ignored or enjoyed as “low art”.
Attempts at analyzing Radious mod’s implications and unraveling its messages necessitate great concentration and effort, which is further exacerbated when so much of my blood flows elsewhere than my brain when enjoying this mod.
Radious mod is a journey, an embodiment of a search fundamental to our humanity yet abandoned by contemporary society; Radious Mod is the eternal quest for perfection. As philosophers and "understanders of strategy" alike vainly peruse the void of their hollow souls for an abstract ideal, they achieve naught save for casting the community into desecration. Delving further into the hypothetical and the metaphysical only reinforces the misbelief that true beauty lies within. “Homosexuality,” Plato wrote, “is regarded as shameful by barbarians and by those who live under despotic governments, Both of which apply to contemporary society.
"Quod culus tibi purior salillo est, nec toto decies cacas in anno; atque id durius est faba et lapillis. Quod tu si manibus teras fricesque, non umquam digitum inquinare posses.”
As tremors of mirth reverberate through my corpus; my finite faculties discharged; my soul emancipated. Such is the power of Radious Mod. Radious Mod is not everyone’s cup of tea. It is perhaps best treated as a lengthy parable. For the actively dismissive it will hardly make much of an impression other than being an ordinary mod with a cheap attempt at improving the game. For others with willing ears and eyes to match, it can be a novel take on the values and motivations surrounding the genre.
>>125480407
And just like that, I've lost another fucking battle.
Why is this game so hard /twg/?
>>125478663
For some reason I can't get that mod installed, it never lets me paste all the files in to install.
Pretty annoying since i've heard it's quite good.

Why does every reveal in Total War Warhammer make the game seem worse and worse?
>>125482851
I thought each reveal has made me more hyped. Im currently worried that the actual battles will be a tactical nightmare with micro hell
>>125482664
What's that from?
>>125476806
I have no idea how to but that explains why I thought something was amiss when I was checking stuff in AOC. The lighting seems very different.
AE guy if you are here I'll upload the tweaked exomis from R2 that fits on Attila bodies. It looks a little baggy because the damn fatties had too much love-handles that clipped through it, so I had to make it a bit larger.
All the unarmored tiers of Moors are done, so moving onto armored. I need to get op-onions on the mail retexture I've done but I'll get screencaps of it later.
Mutatatwi'a Volunteers (Berber levy spear and Andalusian infantry) at the top, then Berber Raiders as Berber Horsemen and Berber Jinetes as Berber Nobles at the bottom.
>>125483003
I tend to micro anyways, since I can just pause the game and issue orders as needed. As such, I'm not HORRIBLY worried about it.
>>125482851
I'm actually getting more hopeful the more I see of it. The one thing I was a little apprehensive about was the very Rome II-esque settlement management.
>>125483153
I think arabs weren't big on beards at this time Meloncat, actually I think they were pretty much mostly shaven
>>125482234
ahh okay makes sense. Is what the poster said one of the ones in attila? how far outlandish does he go with attila?
Since 1.1 I haven't been able to get DEI to work for me at all
It works, but trying to load campaign or battles crash it
I usually use the user.script method for mods, and I tried the launcher version too, can't get it to work,
>>125483669
Don't believe their lies. Radious does extensive research into the time period before he makes new units for the various factions.
>>125483817
I am 1000% sure hte romans didn't use gladiators to fight in theirarmies
Weird shit happens when I try to manually fight battles, a few seconds in, the screen will flicker and then turn to black. I can still alt-tab but can't alt-tab back into the game, the sound is still running too. My drivers are up-to-date

>>125484627
All three of those make sense.
That fourth one is just you making a poor joke. Radious would study Warhammer lore before making new units.
>>125483609
That did seem to be the case in some of the period representations I saw but they were also more the pre-islamic stuff. You're probably right but I kind of like the beards and in general went with some anachronism choices to achieve an iconic look. What I would bear in mind though is these units are a polygot diverse bunch. In general if they are wearing the animal skin mantle or the cloth drape they are berbers. If they are wearing the knee length tunic they are Andalusians or Arabs, and if they are wearing the long kaftan they are either Arabs, Arabized berbers (probably jumping the gun chronologically with there being Arabized berbers - I think they occured more into the 9th and 10th and 11th century after you had Arab bedouin migrating into the maghreb) or maybe Andalusians.
Technically speaking stuff seemed to cast doubt that the Andalusians wore turbans ever, choosing to go bare headed or wear the qalansuwa (little felt hat with or without a slight turban wrap). However this is almost within living memory of the Umayyad conquest of Spain and still when you had the Arab Junds with men of fighting age having migrated/fled to Spain. So I thought turbans could be more prevalent than say, the late 800s or 900s when a more distinct Andalusian identity developed.
I can scale down the % chance of beards, though. It's at 75% right now, but I'll keep it there for now though I could drop it to 50%.

there is LITERALLY nothing wrong with any of those, who is paying you to do this?
>>125485181
>all three of those make sense
I know this is bait, but how does "ostrogothic sharp spears" make sense? That would imply that are entire units of men fighting on the field with dulled spears, like their commander said "alright, everyone with dull weapons step into this group, and people that actually bothered taking care of their weapons stand over in this group"
>tfw you take your ultra-nationalism out on a videogame
There's even a damn Ancient World mod for this game.
And no, I'm not talking about Punic Rome to Empire Rome, i'm talking seperate scenarios for The Age of Chariots, the Sea People invasion (one of /twg/'s best memes imo), the Sea People recovery, the wars of Alexander, and the fucking Punic Wars.
Best £6 i've ever spent. I wonder what mods Shogun I has.

Oh yeah I've seen it, looks pretty damn cool. How is progress coming along on it if you know?
>>125488127
Well mods can fix some of it kinda.
>>125483721
Are the savegames from the new version or old version? If the latter they're corrupt and useless.
They currently have a beta patch on the twcenter forums which will be added to workshop when its ready.

The last post was from November 1st, saying a preview would be up in a week and the full release soon after. I don't know what to think of it.

>>125485717
Look up Ostrogothic Sharp Spears and you'll find that the Romans called them that. The Ostrogoths used far deadlier spears than others during that time period.
>>125487014
There is nothing wrong with that. Ninjas used whatever would strike fear into people's hearts.
Is Attila's performance actually bad or is it a lingering meme from when it launched?
I want to buy it next tuesday when the winter sale begins but if its got crappy performance there is no point.
>>125488480
oops, nevermind, here's the release

It's garbage
But you might as well buy it and try it, there's refunds now after all
>>125477716
I'd it possible to get a heroic victory in attila, I routed and wiped out at least half of a croatian army with a general cav and another heavy cav, several units of swords, archers and spears as the avars with 2 militia spears and 1 militia archer for the loss of only one spear permanently and I got a phyrrhic victory......
>>125488823
It does run noticeably worse than Rome 2, but it depends on what your threshold for bad performance is. How good is your system?
>>125487778
bullshit that is in radious

I hope you're fucking kidding, kid.
>>125490078
It's true. Shogun 2 represented it with the ninja agent's mask becoming more demonic. However, for the ninjas used on the battlefield, Radious decided to just use a large, powerful weapon. It makes sense and it fits with the history of a ninja.

Notice that two of them are actually the same person. Follow the family tree lines and you'll see that husband and wife are both direct defendants of the king.
>>125461517
Asturias gets close enough by having 1/3 of generals and family members named "Bernando" that arr rook da same
>>125489080
I can run Rome 2 on extreme with no issues.
pic related is my rig. Monitor is outdated now as I ordered a 28 inch 75hz one earlier. Which should arrive tomorrow morning.
>>125490078
While you are being rused, you using kid makes you look loke an ass
>>125491801
Yeah I run Rome 2 on extreme as well, but I get 10FPS zoomed in on Attila battles
>>125473848
Only 5 are at launch:
>Empire
>Orks
>Dwarves
>Vampire Counts
>Chaos
DLC races post launch will probably add 3-4 more because they need some races for the 2 standalone expansions that enhance the scale of the gameworld if installed alongside the basegame.
This 12 days of Festag event has many thinking the 12th day will be a teaser video of the Vampire gameplay video reveal date in the new year.
>>125492093
So basically the game is an unoptimized mess.
Would lowering certain graphics like shadows help?
>>125492609
This is with everything except unit sizes on Low. I guess I could play with less troops but anything less than Ultra x2 feels shit to me now.
>>125491801
I have a 4690K and970, and it will drop to <30fps on a mix of high/ultra when zoomed in. Usually nothing as extreme as >>125492093 but you won't be maintaining a solid 60.

>>125492609
Don't bother with SSAO or screen space reflections, anti-aliasing low, unit quality on high rather than ultra off the top of my head.
>>125492787
do you have SSAO enabled?

You guys tried the launcher trick?
Open Rome 2 then select Attila from that then press play. It boosted my fps by as much as 20 compared to launching directly. Maybe I'm just lucky. I'm getting 80-90fps on Campaign map and about 35-40 on close up battles. On High/Ultra settings.
If i launch directly the campaign map is around 70 and the battles are 15-20.
It really is an unoptimised mess and instead of being money grabbing jews they should do a major performance patch. I'd rather have that than a reskin DLC.

>Open Rome 2 then select Attila from that then press play. It boosted my fps by as much as 20

>>125494097
I turned it off.
>>125494650
Apparently that was a solution for some people on the Total War forums, but Steam will think you're playing Rome 2 instead of Attila.
I want to buy AoC but I need to know if it still has that retarded Public Order system of original Attila.
I never played the Last Roman so I don't really know about that one in specific.
>>125495394
A lot of buildings no longer come with as much food/squalor/public order penalties. The underlying system is still the same though.
>>125495759
Goddamn it.
>try the launcher trick
>it actually works
what fucking bullshit is this
>>125495957
no fucking way
So, will Charlie die if I kill him enough times on the battlefield, like Atilla? I'm tired of CA's bullshit immortal generals.
>>125496057
I used to zoom in on any large mass of troops and slow down to a crawl, now I've got a managable FPS on quality settings
CA are so fucking incompetent
>>125495957
You're welcome.
>>125496310
why do devs do this shit
>People actually think Attila is good when the units are basically ants
at least in the other Total Wars you could see your units. Also, >Axe Men
>>125497014
Straight up. This should be put in the OP from now on, if it works for other people as well. Man I've been bashing Attila's optimization for ages. Who knew the solution was so retarded?
It says on my Steam that I'm playing Attila as well.
>>125495957
whats the trick?
You're walking through the slave market with your bitch when this guy slaps your girls ass. You raise your fist but he says he'll sic the Republic on you if you hit him, what do you do?
