Feels like a waste.

Also assassins instead of spy, this is kind of neat.
holy shit
this unit took on the last six enemies and won.
Ironic that the mercs are the last standing. Even more ironic that the enemy were Byzantines.
>>125709309
praise be to allah
>>125709309
It's assassins instead of champions, I think. You still got spies (scouts) and priests.
>>125704470
There'd be less fuckers making button ropes or whatever those are if there wasn't a market for it.
Less of that and more of something else like gunsmithing or horse breeding, or hell just going to church and having lots of boys that can grow up to die in a foreign land.
>>125710549
Let me ask this, priests are nice for the conversions you do as the emirate or the christians of north spain but what use are they for the rest of europe which just has 100% christian?
As lombards especially you are just isolated completely from other religions.

>>125713716
Empire of the Sands is a great DLC. It'll be 66% off from next Tuesday until the 1st of January.
>>125714586
The patch mainly focused on balancing the campaign map by making it harder on the Sassanids and easier on the Romans, dunno about the rest of your questions
>>125704084
>It has no god damn unrestricted camera.
yes it does
what do i do? kinda new to TWA

That's his own album anon because he was a direct descendant of Charlemagne and looked remarkably like him based off all the portraits at the time.

Thanks for the advice man. How can you be so sure they'll have it on sales?
>>125714757
uhm ok
>>125714917
Use your wifes to gather support, any family members who get too much influence to do the same or secure loyalty of other members. If you've fucked it up too bad already though you might have to just nope the heck out of that particular campaign buddy.
>>125715029
Its the Steam winter sale next Tuesday.
The autumn sale last month had Attila and all DLC's at 66% off minus AoC which was 10% off obviously.
>>125715075
will do, most loyalty is over 7, one is 4, will try to get it higher
I just want to make sure one thing:
Do the Tanukhids apper on grand campaign even if i havent bought Empire of Sands? Plus the dlc doesnt do anything to other factions, right?
>You formation will never be dommed by slut elfs.
What the hell is the best and optimal building order in Rome 2?
Also how do you guys build armies? Do you use just 1 primary province and force march them everywhere or do you build forward military provinces to restock and replace low tier units?
>>125715417
Generally speaking every faction appearns if you don't have the dlc, I don't know about the Tanookis though because I've not played the game without the EoS DLC

What they cut from medieval 2 and Rome that ruins immersion is

>Generals could rebel if loyalty drops too low taking their troops with them.

Although I've noticed with Attila a few of these have sort of started to make a comeback. Attila was clearly a test run for the Warhammer mechanics. Now Warhammer is cutting the cool seeing the city expand on campaign feature. CA just goes backwards.

ehh, I just found the disgustingly huge zone of control annoying.
I played Empire once years ago, is it worth picking up during the sale next week if I already have FOTS and Napoleon? Why is it hated so much?
>>125715473
Try to always go for the capital first so you can start building a purple and a yellow. There should be nothing but farms in most provinces, fishing ports everywhere except whatever provinces are actually trading. Build industry instead of farms if its a province that specializes in some special commodity like gold.
One military building in your first province until you find a better area with bonuses, then you can demolish the ones in your first province and replace them with yellow buildings.
A slave trader in your trade province is the best way to make money in rome 2, so its worth two purples and if you always build a yellow and a purple in every province then public order wont be a problem. Make money with infrastructure and trade, not taxes. That way you can put taxes as low as they go, suck in growth and combat the penalties of excellent buildings like slave trader.

>>125714917
Use family members to gather support to gain control or embezzle funds for money/ loss of countrol or send generals with high influence off to their deaths in order to increase your dominion. Or you can adopt them to also increase your dominion. Lastly secure loyalty when necessary. Don't abuse the system because dominion is the sum of influence and most of the above actions cost influence to perform.
Power is just basically your families dominion and control vs your statesmen dominion and control. A good balance is best. Once you figure it out its easy.
Anyone know a way or mod which lets you cancel Military Access with your vassals for Rome 2?

I started a Tanukhid campaign while high, got my ass handed to me in less than 10 turns and I felt really bad. Not just because I played like shit, but because I actually felt like I had doomed my people to their deaths and worse. Like I had genocided them, let them be tortured by their former masters.

So I bought MTW to see if all the hype was just oldfag nostalgia like things usually tend to be and it actually awesome even compared to the new stuff, trouble is I can't seem to get huge unit sizes in campaign, changing it to huge in the options just made them huge in custom battles, how do I change em for campaign.
Also Swiss Armored Pikes are awesome and beat anything in the game, I've read you can recruit them in Switzerland in the late period with any faction if you control it, my question is are they like mercs in 2 where you just can hire them when they spawn and not retrain them, or are they like and other unit only just trainable/retrainable in Switzerland?
>>125739741
1. start a new campaign
2. the best unit in the game is the general's guard
>>125739741
>or are they like and other unit only just trainable/retrainable in Switzerland?
from memory its this. Swiss pikemen and Swiss Armoured Pikemen can only be trained in the Switzerland province, but are trained as per normal
also build lots of ships, and spread them through out oceans, an army can move Wessex to Sicily in 1 turn as long as you have a ship in each of the connecting sea provinces
>>125740993
I did, changed it in the setting before I touched the campaign, but my unit sizes are default for campaign

>>125729639
global warming started earlier than we anticipated
>>125740993
I also just realized on further investigation any units I train have the huge size, but all my starting units are small unit sizes for some reason.
>>125737184
Whatever port you have that actually has routes, the game sort of decides it for you but usually its your first and then sometimes itll expand if a province has a specific resource.
>>125742489
Gamersgate will give you a steam key. Will work.
>>125743630
OK thanks.
I bought Empire complete and Shogun 2 complete from them, but I wasn't sure if I could buy stuff separately like I said above.
Is Attila even good or should I just wait for warhammer
>>125743823
Attila is shit. Stick to the classics.
Play Shogun 1.
>>125743823
Attila is great
don't play the classics
>>125721413
Now I want to know what that guy calls his army. I don't know much about that shit except FOR THE EMPRAH and angry marines, and that's 40k instead of the regular stuff.
>>125743823
mechanically, its a very a good total war. Battles in particular are some of the best in the series.
however, the campaign map is quite different, and very imbalanced. As a result, a lot of people don't like the setting or can't get into it (myself included). Age of Big Charlie is a good alternate, but a little lazy in a few areas.
Also it is incredibly unoptimized
How much of a bully is Attila? Is he going to rape my poor barbar asshole or will he be nice and focus on the other power barbars instead?
>>125718986

Anyone know of a mod that improves the Alans? Right now they feel more unique, but also just like a shittier Huns. I think they mainly need improved horse archers and foot archers.

Pay him off and let him fuck your sister/mother/daughter/wife, and you'll be fine.He's also a fucking pushover, in all honesty. If you can't fight him off by the time he becomes a threat, stop playing Total War.

>>125744831
>Shittier huns
>When they have the best anti cav melee cav, anti melee infantry melee cav and shock cav in the game now.
They are better than the huns in 3/5 cav types and i haven't compared their skirm cav yet, only thing their best units need to worry bout are spears and their infantry are more than capable of dealing with them. They are the best grand campaign faction unitwise imo currently, with the ERE, Tanukids, Himyar and the vandals being the others.

I like their jammies :3
How is unit variety in Empire? I like the line battles in Napoleon, but I feel like all the factions have pretty much the same units.
should I start a new EB campaign or a SS one, /twg/?

The Merovingians had a form of feudalism, just very informal, inefficient, and corrupt compared to Carolingian feudalism.

Enemies, and I think they have to do it to maintain sentience but most of the info i gathered about 40k comes from 1d4chan so take it with a grain of salt.

>Creating glorious empire in Shogun 2, up to seven conquored provinces in this campaign, one of my first

>Let their missionaries in and convert as they want, religious freedom and all
>Convert the daimyo

Rome.Accept no other factions.
>>125748017
But Legend is right
age = quality
RTW an M2 are like fine wine, already good when made, they only get better with age
>>125748017
>rome 1 deeper and more immersive
I find Rome 1 more enjoyable too but this is pure bullshit
>>125748017
>more depth
What a load
Fucking Celtic assholes declare war on me. Fucking allies in Africa betray me. I just wanted to get rich in Spain. No breaks for a Visigoth.
>>125748821
He probably just likes the instant responsive cav and invincible armored hoplites.
The only thing you can fuck up in a RTW 1 battle is firing arrows at the front of an enemy that has a shield that isn't a buckler. Or buying skirmishers I suppose.
>>125746926
If you manage to control it, converting to Christianity is hilarious. I had one game where I almost never declared war on anyone - I just had my priest go in and fuck around for a few turns and the province would revolt. My army would then just swoop in and take the province from the rebels.
Late game I was able to maintain a buffer of rebel states running north to south between my empire and other clans, and simply expanded my territory at my leisure.
How often does /twg/ go back to playing vanilla in rome or M2? I've only played vanilla rome once like five years ago when I first picked up the game. Since then I've only played mods, and I'm considering trying vanilla again.
>>125752251
Occasionally I'll get extra nostalgic (maybe every couple of years or so) and try it. I almost immediately go back to Extended Cultures/Invasio Barbarorum and Stainless Steel though. I haven't done a full campaign vanilla for RTW/BI since like 2007 and I don't think I ever bothered with M2.
>>125745773
There's far more artillery and shell options. which makes it a lot more fun imho.
also there's native and indian units. Indians have elephants which is neat until you realize that cannons kill them just as easily as anything else and then you start feeling bad for the poor elephants.

I like 2 but I prefer the factions in 1. Is OKW like the PE? And how are the Brits in 2?
I also haven't figured out the doctrine system in 2 so it kinda scares me away from playing competative. I love the doctrine system in 1 though
God damn. My fucking income took a nosedive with the latest climate change event. Sure would have been nice if my allies didn't betray me to try and steal my Spanish gold.
>>125754469
No aqueducts for the bigger cities?
>>125754603
I, too prefer the doctrine system from 1. I really dislike the pay 2 win system in this one.
OKW is supposed to be PE, but dunno really they have way less in the way of armoured cars and what I usually see is volk spam pz2's and the eventual KT. Their playstyle reminded me of brits from CoH1 as they now have the moveable bases.
Bongs are great and are a bit more adaptable and they have to choose between offensive (armoured cars, all rounder tank) and defensive (area denial, tanky tank) rosters every game.
Nothing obviously superior in there though, its kinda the same. As for the doctrine system, its possible to have a completely useless doctrines, unless you luck out or dish out the shekels.

So do you guys think the people complaining about warhammer DLC are those unfamiliar with warhammer altogether?
Because otherwise it seems strange considering how much GW jew people all the time.

is there any good mod for Medieval 2 focused on islamic expansions? I feel unresistible urge to spread kebab and remove pork (so we will have more kebab to remove in the future).
If there is not any mod liek that, is there any good mod focused on islamic factions? I don't like playing Bellum Crucis anymore.
A pluralistic, diverse, multi-cultural society free of hate. Unless you're a Jew. Or a Christian who isn't part of some mercenary corps. Or a Syrian and it's the Yemeni Jund-Arabs who are in power. Or a berber who doesn't like being treated like cannon fodder and so turn to the 8th century version of ISIS.

Broken Crescent shifts the map to the Mid-East from the Bosphorus to India, Steppes to Ethiopia or nearly there. Set circa 1170 AD.
