>Launcher Trick
Attila is an unoptimized mess, try this launcher fix to try and improve performance.
Open Rome 2 then select Attila from that then press play. FPS can increase anywhere between 1 to 25.

> be Mercia
> took over all of England
> its now time to remove frogs
> i took a huge swath of charlie's land with barley a fight, wondering where his armies are, i assumed they are off fighting the other factions he's at war with
> suddenly charlie himself comes out of nowhere with 4 full doomstacks
> he attacks one of my full stacks which just happened to be in forticiaction stance
so the battle commenced 4v1
> they are coming at me from 3 sides, but the third one is further away and doesn't manage to engage until i had defeated the other two
> i was able to knock out charlie, and kill the other 3 generals, though i had lost most of my army in the process
> the battle indicator still says i have a low chance of winning because my missile units died and they still had three
which is kinda the bullshit i don't like about this expansion because battles more often then not come down to just whoever has more arches
> so my remaining units i had run to the opposite side of the base away from the archers, and lured them into my arrow towers which killed them off
> suddenly some onagar unit they forgot they had shows up
> with my general and the 3 remain units, they both split up and attack from both sides while the onagar tries to snipe my general
i won but it was bloody as fuck, will post battle results

Kek, the hardest faction I fought was the Taifa of Barcelona. One army slipped by my forces - as the Umayyads - and raided every turn all the way to my capital. My army could not catch it for some odd reason. Just always one extra step away on the map. Not to mention the other two armies with stacked forces that rivaled my three armies in power. Each of their cities was level II, WITH garrison posts adding more men. Sieges were bloody.

Charlemagne put up two armies, like you said, and I felt underwhelmed. Kinda odd

Hey /twg/ are there any submods which brings back the unit abilities in DEI R2? Half them fun of playing bar bars (especially Suebi) was timing those abilities to cause mass routs etc
>>
>>125941353
Meh that's disappointing. I have to think about what handicaps I might do to make the campaign harder. I am hoping if you tell the Abbasids to choke on some Abyssinian dick and die when that event happens that I heard of they'll send an army to attack you. Would that we had the Maghreb and they'd be a real threat on the map.

>125860638

I've finished 5 of the 16 Spanish units (the cha_gen ones), and there's usually sharing of a base VMD so that Royal guardsmen might have the same look as Royal cav or royal knights. Once the Spanish are done I will try and do some of the less fun bug-fixing for FOTE, then Dresden and I will upload that FOTE update and my reskin (you'll need to download FOTE but only run pack 1 and 2 - that will give you the skins needed but not any of the battlefield/stat stuff so you will only have the reskins with vanilla stats and battlefield mechanics. I'll explain what to do once I upload that reskin package).

>dont play on hardest

>>
>>125957448

Avetis is an awesome guy and helps us on FOTE but yeah, I think he and I do have differing interpretations and design choices on material or appearances of units. I do tend to prefer a greater scaling of armor so the look of heavies is really distinct. If anything I think I am a bit too liberal in how much armor I assign, but I bear in mind that we have to sacrifice some level of accuracy to get satisfactory gameplay. For one I have to wonder if cavalry in most settings should be able to any degree to really bowl over an enemy given how much it's hammered home that horses will not be convinced (nor will any sensible man want to ) to run right into a solid wall of men. But such a setup - almost 0 charge, low penetration and more of an emphasis on scares infantry would be terrible for the AI and the player most likely.

Though I wonder if perhaps by the time you get the medieval knight post hastings they didn't truly bowl over into the enemy given how firsthand accounts really do speak to the ferocity of their charge and the fact that a charge of Norman kngihts could 'drill a hole through the walls of babylon'. Odds are extensive use of spurs, harsh bits for the horse and an intentional willingness to charge could get a horse to damn the consequences and run right into a mass of men.

But long and short I'd give his work a try. Looking at his Cordoba reskin it doesn't seem too over-armored.

The celtic moon-men is a very mysterious and spooky phenomenon.

If it persists? Then I'll chock it up to pic related.

>Rise of Islam would be shit DLC
No if it start in 600. Well, ok, you would need some mechanic to prevent Byzy and Sassy to conquer whole of Arabia in 10 turns, but with Avars and Slavs pushing from the North it would be quite interesting map to play.

>>125963648

>Start in 600

>What is CA firebombed by Jihadists

You'd need to set it around 630 or so, right during the Ridda War and after Muhammad died.

And yes, it's ridiculous that I had to think "What date would a rise of islam mod/DLC need to use to avoid being beheaded by Muslims". I mean shit, a movie by a Muslim, who consulted with Ulema (getting the approval of the Egyptians but not the Saudis) and funded by Qadaffi and Morocco and Saudi Arabia's King still resulted in a hostage-taking in DC with the death of journalist and policeman because someone thought Anthony Quinn played Muhammad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Message_(1976_film)

And that was before social media and the internet.
>>
>>125963875
>>125963648
So why bother with a rise of islam DLC at all? It's not interesting and if you desperately want sandniggers there's plenty of that already. Oversensitive liberal faggots and muslims will just flip their shit over nothing and it'll result in bad PR for no real gain.
>>
>>125963648
>start in 600

That's fucking retarded, Mohammed died in 632

Then there's a short period of quarrel around the succession and then they direct their energy outwards and auto-resolve across the map facing no resistance

Rise of Islam DLC would be fucking boring and there is no need for needless controversy if the setting isn't even good for a Total War campaign

>>125963964

It's an interesting and pivotal moment of history, with the major playable factions (Romans, Sassanids, Caliphate, Khazars or Avars depending on the map among others) having unique cultures and fighting styles. The Eastern Romans are victorious over the Sassanids and Avars but utterly exhausted and depleted so there's a kind of WRE AttilaTW feeling, the Sassanids have been shattered and are suffering from internal courtly intrigue from hell with some possible rump states/breaking apart already happening, the Avars have the rebellious slavs after the failure of the siege of Constantinople - and if you go full map they have the Merovingians starting to push on them from the West, the Lombards are acting up in Italy, the Khazars are poised to take advantage of the chaos.

Romans are in a cavalry centric but still some infantry tactical doctrine moment, the Sassanids are still heavy cavalry and Turkic style horse archer oriented, the Arabs are predominately infantry of the line and with time and technology will unlock more cavalry and heavier cavalry, the Khazars are steppe nomads, the Avars are steppe nomads with hordes of slavic cannon fodder, and you could possibly include the Berbers of the maghreb and the Lombards of Italy.

It's all a fuck lot more interesting than the rumored R2 DLC of the Roman conquest of Britain, and would offer more varied rosters and cultures/factions than an Arthurian 5th-6th century British Isles campaign of the Anglo-Saxons, Romano-Britons, Picts, Welsh and Irish.

Course we can't have that because of the idolatrous savages who literally worship an object and the text of a name to the point of ironically being the very idolaters they have a pathological hostility to. We need to bring back the term of Muhammadeans and maybe Quraneans because these fucking imbeciles for all their constant Allah snackbarring care more about a book and a name (since some Danish or French fuck can draw a random 20th century Lawrence of Arabia looking bedouin and because of putting the word Muhammad next to it magically turns it into the prophet) than their fucking religion. It's current year and we're still dealing with iconoclast faggots. I swear to god if Muhammad was somehow brought around today they'd put him in a burka and ban the presence of mirrors near Muhammad because seeing Muhammad or a reflection depicting Muhammad would be haram.

If they were brown then why do they share less than 1% of the DNA compared to the 70% in modern Europeans?

They were probably brown in the same way that Southern Europeans are a bit tanned. The modern brown Egyptian is likely just the result of centuries of breeding with slaves.

>>125984175
If you can actually secure a rout to the town center without coming under tower fire-via onagers usually-then you'll take less casualties manually. A lot of times they'll sally forth because you have superior range and get slaughtered in the field in front of their town.

But yeah, your traditional "storm the streets and battle towards the town center" nonsense will get 500 men killed whereas the autoresolve will only lose like 100-200.

Basically unless you can cheese the shit out of them, autoresolve. The absolute worst autoresolve will do to you is about the same as doing it manually.
