Oh yeah, the voice is different. But they're dark haired guys with the same beard pattern.
This guy is fucking retarded, anyway. Holy shit, he keeps fucking charging his cavalry at them alone, what the fuck is wrong with this guy? He's just leaving his infantry in place and "harassing them" (read: suicidally charging) with his remaining cav, and talking like its going to give him some sort of tactical advantage later.

You're right I meant like Rome 2 was super hyped, but maybe I'm just jaded. I think Warhammer looks like it will be good, but I can't help but think in the back of my head it might be bad.

>>135640268
It might be bad, but it'll still be Total War, and it'll still be Warhammer. A rough launch won't undo that.
Many people consider Rome II now to be one of their favourites in the series, this stuff is all temporary.

Is there a recording of that somewhere? Did he get BTFO because he doesn't understand how fantasy units work?
Have CA hinted/implied that there will absolutely be no playable factions that aren't playable on tabletop?
Stuff like Kislev and minor human factions to the south, to make up for GW's abysmal choices of which factions fo flesh out. I just want my fantasy Latin tercios, dammit, how can you make a fucking fantasy setting based on the 15-1600s and not include badass fantasy Spain as a major faction. The original tercios are better than your faggy landsknechts.
You could also throw in types of soldiers that persisted in Spain long after everyone else, like javelins and slingers. And Estalia does overseas adventures in WH, so you could throw in auxiliaries like Amazons or even shit from out of Ind.
But no, let's make boring medieval France, and then Chaos faction no. 12392141

>>135640520
I don't understand, what's the first and second number below the unit?
>>135640527
He got BTFO because he spent so much time trying to commentate his masterful tactical knowledge and set up Hammer n' Anvil spaghetti lines that he didn't even realise the AI had flanked him with cavalry and were slaughtering his troops.
>>135640628

>>135639940

>>135640812
Top number is money, the second is "corpse count" (the new currency they use, basically a population pool that gets increased by agent actions, buildings and battle victories)
>>135640520
Might be Hero or Lord recruitment panel or something.
>>135640812
The first number is your currency, the second is the availability of corpses. Which presumably increases the more armies you kill
>>135640535
If they want to put out the same levels of DLC for Warhammer as they did with Rome II/Attila then they're going to have to make some minor non-tabletop factions playable. This is total speculation, of course, but it seems logical.
The only tabletop faction apart from Wood Elves they could have without extending the map would be Skaven, and IIRC they have been all but confirmed as being held back for the first expansion.
>>135640821
orcs have a local and a global recruitment pool
>>135640419
Don't forget when he got his ass handed to him when he played Arena
So I started that lakhmid campaign I mentioned some threads back, pretty comfy right now desu. I managed to get peace with the sassykids and have spent about 10 or 15 turns stabilizing and upgrading all the provinces. Right now I'm trying to hit 75% eastern christianity for dat level 5 infantry barracks then I'll finish conquering the middle east.
>>135641195
Did Jesse Cox beat him?
>>135640535
Mods will fix it, adding Estalian Diestros with a couple of Empire assets shouldn't be too hard.
If we're lucky the old spanish helmets from the Blackfire demo might still be in the data files.
>>135640373
It's on their twitch channel, at the end of the VC event.
>>135640527
See above. And no, he got BTFO because he's got the tactical sense of a four year old and can't play any TW more recent than Rome 1.
>>135640702
OK, I have to admit the Empire is legitimately cool, and I give GW a lot of credit for basing a fantasy series at least partially on the Early Modern period instead of generic medieval shit... but they missed out on the opportunity to make full use of that basis.
I also like almost all of the fantastic races, but they fucked up with the humans. Bretonnia is just generic medieval memes, and then you don't get anyone else really fleshed out to nearly the same level.
>>135640535
With 4 Races a game on release, by the end of the trilogy you only need to add four more as DLC to have the big 16 added. They have plenty of opportunity to create DLC between the main races. While most of that effort will go to additional LL or unit DLC, I'm sure they'll make time for a minor states faction pack.

That pic triggers me, fucking Brits can't make interesting Latin factions. Just the same old stupid fucking memes.
Goddammit, I want lore of Estalia stuck in endless wars with Araby and Skaven, and developing a mixture of lighter mobile warfare alongside elite pike and shot tactics. They could be differentiated from the empire by relying more on cav and less on arti and elite ranged units - more early pike and shot era stuff, even bordering on medieval warfare.
>>135640520
You do realise that it's just an undead-themed mercenary menu right? The other races will have versions of that too.

That pic is from the "Amulet of Sea Gold" battle Craig didn't want to show us, you can tell by the giant skull and the terrain.
It's weird because the pic is clearly from the POV of the Vampires, but the battle itself is a Gelt Quest battle. Weird.

>>135641521
Well, I'm certain we'll see Bretonnia and Wood Elves in game 1. Bretonnia as FLC, Wood Elves as the DLC, both a month or so after release.
So, Game 1 base + DLC:
1. Empire
2. Dwarves
3. Greenskins
4. Vampires
5. Chaos
6. Bretonnia
7. Wood Elves
Old World expansion base + likely DLC:
8. Tombkeks
9. Chaos Dwarves
10. Ogre Kingdoms
11. Skaven
New World expansion base + likely DLC:
12. High Elves
13. Dark Elves
14. Lizardmen
That leaves Beastmen and Daemons uncovered, but I just didn't assign them because I don't know if those are more likely as DLC for vanilla or Old World Expansion.
If OWE has 4 base factions, that's pretty good... but with the right features, I think they could get away with 3. I'm pretty sure it'll come by default with the vanilla map for conquest, and you'll just be blocked from playing vanilla factions if you don't own vanilla. That's enough for a standalone, IMO.
New World Expansion is a different story, unless they really flesh the fuck out of those factions, it's gonna be hard to cut it with three. Maybe Daemons would be thrown in here?
So, there's definitely room for more DLC factions, assuming they want as many DLC for each expansion cycle as they had for the base game. But I'm not sure that will be a thing, necessarily - they may parcel out DLC factions independently of the expansions proper, all throughout the game's lifetime. So we could see some Old World DLC factions being released well into the New World phase, keeping a steady pace so we end up with 16 total.
FLC is where it gets interesting - if they always release major DLC alongside FLC, then they'll burn through the 16 factions really fast. I think we'll see Kislev as FLC at some point, but I honestly think they'll just unlock copy-paste factions like that one Old World Lizardmen city before they flesh out factions that GW never touched at all.
>>135643084
Maybe there are two sides to every quest battle depending on your faction?
>>135643702
I'm pretty sure Skavens will be for base game, but clan pestilens will be a faction for the first exp, like for the base game, you have Empire vs VC, and greenskins vs dwarfs, it would be lizardmen vs pestilens and HE vs DE
>raze everything on my path as the Huns
>ERE asks for peace and offers me 6000 golds
>mfw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLE_emfAd74
>>135643702
Please no speculationshit. It's always retarded.
>>135643916
Elves will be second expansion.
It just makes sense for the first expansion to flesh out the map that we start with, and the Elves and Lizardmen are more flashy and pleb-appeal-y than any of the Old World factions left - which means it makes more sense to release them towards the end of the development cycle, to renew interest in the game series.
I'm also secretly hoping that it'll come with playable naval battles, and that will be the big excuse as to why it only launches with 3 factions - buying it unlocks playable naval battles for everyone.
>>135644192
Is that pic of Archaon actually from Total War?
That looks metal as fuck.
>>135642614
>>no mercs
Every faction has a unique recuitment option when out of province. VC will work like old mercs, with instant but expensive necromancy
>>no mod support
It doesnt matter, most modders don't even have the know how for making really good shit. The main database modding that adds units and shit like that, is still very doable.
>>135643916
I really hope skaven ship as DLC for this game though they'll probably hold off till the next expansion.
>Tfw West Roman Separatists have 3 settlements and are your homies
Right now they should just change their name or something, how can they be separatists at this point?
>>135644428
Yep, it's an inengine screenshot taken to promo a book anthology being released alongside the game.
so when do you think overlord CA will allow us to witness the "battle for sea gold"?
>>135644521
Also battles give you loot now which for VC seems to be souls or magical energy so perhaps Kemmler will get a bonus to souls gained after battles to boost recruitment options.
>>135644428
its from a book but he is gonna look metal as fuck and will get Dorghar his fire breathing horse or even a chaos dragon mount in campaign.
>>135644865
If they're going to do Lustria focused expansion, I imagine Skaven will be held back for that. Although Skaven are mainly based in the Old World, they're one of the few factions that has a sizable footprint in Lustria and could feasibly provide a counter balance for the Lizardmen.
wew lads
>>135644865
That map is shit and unrealistic
Speculationfags are shit.
>>135644306
It's all we can do at this point, Attila has lost a lot of its appeal from overplaying it, but I've been spoiled by it and can't go back to earlier TW games. And now that Warhammer is another month off, you're just gonna have to deal with another month of speculationposting.
>>135645178
>I actually just downloaded both those books
>Reading that exact one now
>Didn't notice that was the cover art
>Didn't realise they were Total War tie-ins
Derp.
I downloaded them because I was hyped for this gameand an anon told me he has a sister of sigmar slave-girl in themand wanted to read some fiction again before the game released. I didn't realise there were actually linked to the game.
>>135645317
The problem is that MOST speculationfags are shit.
Those who adhere to the Contiguist school are generally much better. I myself am a maximalist Contiguist, holding that not only will the expansions be geographically cohesive, but that they will expand out from the existing land first.
>>135645521
I can't handle it anon.
All the fucked up maps drawn in paint.
All the unrealistic nonsense (Ogres, High Elves and Skaven in a single standalone installment, fucking WHAT)
All the dumb bullshit.
I can't handle it.
>>135645736
That's speculationfaggory I can get behind. So long as there isn't any map drawing or indepth "which faction will come out when" retardation.
>>135645736
well those who play the tabletop can speculate within reason anon.

Maybe next week we'll get something new and interesting
>>135647270
Well the close ups are at least something given how shit the stream quality is. But still thats rather disappointing was expecting some kind of siege gameplay not 5 second shoved into a trailer.

>>135647776
The reaction I usually get from /v/irgins is that the instructors are butting in because she has a vagina and he was being brutal
The truth is they are actually told to not stop until the instructor pulls you off, it's to get you used to letting go and being brutal
>>135645919
No, you misunderstand me. It is fully appropriate to draw maps and predict when specific factions will be released - one simply needs to have a good basis when exploring these darker reaches.
To put it another way, speculation into the darker reaches is only valid and fruitful when one has a good foundation in the setting and logical game design. Without the fundaments, higher speculation is fruitless, nay, it is indeed actually harmful, for it ruins the reputations of more skilled speculists.

Equites and everything else on the sides

Assuming you're talking about the triplex acies, it goes (rear to front) triarii > principes > hastatii > velites.
>>135651768

>>135651923
Yeah, it's a block of 4000+ soldiers, all with an arm's length of space between them, with more spaces between the units themselves. Then you'd have multiples of these on the battleline.
Imagine how hard it must have been to control battles back then. If you time travelled, all you'd need to invent is the hot air balloon and the two-way radio and you'd conquer the world.

Oh GOD FUCKING DAMMIT
I forgot to backup my main Tanukhids save when I started my Slavs run. I had relied on quicksaves for so long that it didn't even occur to me.
And now I've lost 20-30 fucking turns. FFS, I haven't even annexed Himyar in this one, let alone any satraps.
Well, so much for this save, this is the kind of bullshit that makes me put a save aside for 6 months, but WH will be long out by then.
You know what... fuck it, I'll just autoresolve the fuck out of this. If I bunch up two stacks on each city, I can usually ensure a win even with the ridiculous FotE garrisons.
>>135652551
Enough AKs and modern ammunition to equip an army are significantly harder to make in a pre-industrial environment than a hot air balloon and 50 radios per army.
>>135653246

>>135653763
how are you going to make the radios ?
>>135653763
when ur mums in rome it has 8 hills
>>135653898
Radios are simple as fuck, I built one when I was ten. You could easily do it with iron age-level metallurgy, at least enough to get a wireless morse-code based system going.
Compared to the advanced chemistry and high-grade metallurgy, not to mention manufacturing accuracy you'd need to make automatic weaponry.

I dunno, the challenge of trying to work out how a time traveller could have the maximum effect with the most limited resources?
It's not much of a thought experiment to go 'I wonder how a time traveller could take over the world during late antiquity if he could bring a US Navy Carrier Group and fully equipped Marine Force Recon battalion with him'.

Walking into the senate and blowing off a few of their heads with a gun would send a powerful enough message. It wouldn't be hard to become master of Rome. Any emperor would gladly take your services and soldiers.
>>135655954
Yeah, it'd be piss easy. Hence why I was trying to imagine how'd you do it without being able to just bring weaponry and equipment.
>>135655445
>>135655954
>>135656461
You'd have a small window between your arrival and the exhaustion of your ammunition and fuel within which to take over a power. After that, how sustainable your expedition will be depends largely on your ability to keep your OP technology working (i.e. the extent to which you can acquire fuel, ammunition and spare parts for maintenance from the power you've taken over). An army marches on its stomach, after all.
>>135648852
Not really since both feel fucking horrible but only one led to countless deaths. If they had major supply issues with water in north africa then maybe but they didn't.
>>135657989
>but only one led to countless deaths
That's mostly because nobody was ever actually dumb enough to do what they did in Siberia in a place like the Sahara desert or, god forbid, Australia.
>>135655954
Yeah they'd send the army to attack you. Romans were trained to expect any form of assault and react appropriately. A gun is not so very different from a sling or bow and wouldn't be so awe inspiring as you'd think. You'd get cut down pretty fast. The technology would be utterly pointless as well if your couldn't reproduce it.

There are still christian semites in the middle east waiting to be released to repopulate a world free of muslim arabs.
>>135659653
you could walk into the senate and shoot a few senators with a sling shot or bow and arrow. A gun doesn't equal power and history has shown that time and again people don't just surrender in the face of superior technology. If you're going to make idiotic statements like walking into the senate and killing a few would make them relinquish the empire then you're a fucking retard and should fuck off to /tg/ where that drivel belongs.

>>135659653
How much ammo do you have? You can't just kill a few senators out of nowhere and expect everyone to hail you. Imagine you have a hundred mags, that's 3000 shots. Say you killed 3000 people, i.e. you killed a person with every shot you had. Now what? Soldiers today can beat the shit out of people today in a fight, but I doubt they would fare quite as well against people trained in hand-to-hand combat.
Plus it's not like today's armor offers much protection against ancient weapons, nobody carries slings or lances anymore so armor isn't designed for them.
Remember a manipular legion is supposed to be 6000 men. You didn't even take out a Legion, and that's assuming you're fighting only an army and not all of Rome since you walked into the senate and killed some people.
>>135661817
Actually shocked to see that much money come up in this case. Probably anyone else might get $5,000 tops and its hard to see how it could impact so negatively on his assets and future earnings.
>>135655954
It would send the message that you were probably some spy using newfangled technology to attack them and they'd probably kill you while you're off guard. Or reloading, slings and bows have surprising range and javelins are deadlier than bullets.
>>135662175
Might well be because of the fact Kotaku is a major website, you'd be right if it was some no name. Plus, racism aside, Hulk Hogan is something of an American icon so it impacts more than just him. That's what I imagine the thinking is anyway.
>>135661817
>>135662175
>>135662339
Wait what's going on? Kotaku was being sued for something?
>>135662175
I honestly think it's partially spiteful retribution for showing enormous contempt for the judge and court, the punitive damages are going to be the icing on the cake. Kotaku is literally dead unless someone buys it out, and it will not be missed.
>>135662175
It's usually moral damages+physical+how much you could have gotten
Basically they evaluate that hulk hogan lost a lot of money because his public figure was tarnished by it so the judge gives an estimate based on his opinion and past records
>>135655954
>implying you could survive in Roman politics
>>135662603
I'm sure feminists will miss it, and desu I will too because it was a place I browsed for the tiptop cancer.
>>135662590
The owners of kotaku, gawker, had hulk hogans sex tape on their site and refused multiple cease and desists, judge orders and generally being enormous SJW faggots about muh freedom of speech despite breaking the law and ignoring legal demands from courts.
So the court has awarded hulk damages that are nearly half the net worth of its owner and roughly equal the worth of the entire gawker network.

No doubt you're right but it seems far too punitive especially seeing as Hogan has millions in assets and a lot of his earnings wouldn't be affected. Its certainly a good approach for the prosecution because its probably the most effective punishment they could have dealt whilst washing their hands of responsibility because its representative of Hogan.
>>135664206
>seeing as Hogan has millions in assets
>The Huffington Post is reporting that TNA Impact Wrestling star Hulk Hogan finalized his divorce from Linda Bollea, and Linda received 40 percent ownership in the various assets owned by Hulk, as well as $7.44 million of the couple's $10.41 million bank account and an additional $3 million in property settlement.

what is the best way to get off the ground as the WRE in Atilla? I've heard that I should just abandon everything that is not italy, and use the alps as my defense with a couple full stacks.
However, I do not know how to get to that point...
Should I just disband all my other legions?
For abandoning cities do I destroy everything but farms and let them rebel or manually abandon them?
I just have no fucking clue what to do here, but I want to try this out
>>135667401
Who said it's not?
Here's what I think, they will use a generic empire roster for their basic units but will have 1-3 unique units for Kislev, in the future they will sell it as DLC and expand their unique roster
>>135668209
Lose it naturally, just pull all of your armies back to Italy and don't worry about the rest of the world.
>>135668209
Be agressive eliminate as many factions as fast as you can let shit rebel if you have to
>>135668209
You can BTFO at least one of your enemies right away, use your halfstack in the west to take out the enemy north of you
You can also try holding the river crossing for that same enemy
Pull back the halfstack in britain to Caladolnum or whatever it's called in Kent or the Saxons will invade

Can anyone here comment on the quality and completeness of the Elder Scrolls mod? I'm thinking of downloading it.
Lads I just got Empire total war and the ai is sorta shit. Is there any total war games where the campaign is sorta hard like shogun?
Also is attila worth getting for campaign?
>>135670130
Attila's campaign is a nightmare depending on who you are.
WRE is hard, Sassinids are hard if you have White Huns, Huns obliterate everyone.Attila is hard in general compared to all other total war gamesif you want hard, play the WRE, the starting difficulty is literally called Legendary

So what's everyone's speculation for the first TWW expansion? I'm guessing it'll be Ogre Kingdoms, Chaos dorfs, and Tomb kings. Not sure what else could be tossed in there.

It'll be elves, rats and lizards without fail. They're the next biggest set of factions after the ones we already have.

Games Workshop has given nothing to CA to work with, and I doubt they would allow CA to make major innovations to lore to justify Estalia as a playable faction.
And ffs, in every older map of the Warhammer world, Estalia is about as big as Brittany, but in TWWH, Estalia is literally the same size as the average province in the Empire.our time will come when TW: Pike and Shot is announced as the next historical title
I want to play WRE but I don't want to suffer :(

>>135672373

One doesn't even have an official army book as far as I remember, and the other is niche as fuck. What the hell are you smoking?
>>135672893
>They're the next biggest set of factions after the ones we already have.
Which is exactly why they're going last. The elves and lizards, at least.
The New World and Ulthuan will be the last expansion, to renew interest in the game after it's been out for a few years. The less interesting (to plebs) expansion will be first - expanding the Old World east and west, and including Tomb Kings, Chaos Dwarfs, and Ogres. Probably Skaven too.
>>135673465
Well they said that all 8th edition armies were getting in, so Ogre's are all but confirmed, in all honesty. I added Chaos dwarves because, well, they're in between the old world proper and the ogres, and they're a sort of niche, but well liked faction, as far as I've seen.
>>135673212
Oh, woops, didn't fully read your post.
Anyway, it's gonna suck even when modders release them, because Estalia on the map is just 3 hovels, and that can't be changed.
>>135673547
Your logic is flawed. You don't generate interest like that in marketing, you don't let things die down and appeal to minority interests in the middle and try and rekindle majority interest later one. You keep going from strength to strength and then push the shitty bits through by riding on the coat-tails of the good stuff.
Retention is much easier than reclamation. Besides we've already seen WIP High Elf assets.
If I go to Rome II after 600 hours in Attila, how will I feel? Is it worth cutting through the bullshit if I want to play in the time period? Will it feel fresh, if even for one campaign?
And is it worth playing a vanilla run before I get DeI?
>>135674160
It'll feel absolutely awful, I did it recently and the game felt fucking terrible, DeI helped a little but not much.
>>135674160
I literally did that yesterday, it was complete fucking torture remembering exactly why i trashed Rome 2
>>135669726

>>135673852
>You keep going from strength to strength and then push the shitty bits through by riding on the coat-tails of the good stuff.
The problem is that there has to be one shitty expansion (by pleb standards). It has to come no matter what, and it's going to be as far from the last big module as the good expansion will. Assuming release isn't a shitshow and people actually really like the game, that provides the chance to release the shitty elements.
From a design standpoint as well, it makes more sense to flesh out the Old World first... but then, for plebs who want elves over chaos dwarfs, I suppose they may get tired of the Old World, so diverting to plebland across the seas for a module in the middle may be a better choice for CA.
Is Attila really that good? What does it improve upon from Rome 2, exactly?
And is it worth getting even though that specific timeperiod isn't -that- interesting to me? Rome was kinda boring as shit with ERE and WRE. I prefer the glory days of Augustus and Julius.
Shit I accidentally posted this in /wtc/

Why do you hate it that much ? I just got into Attila and I don't know, I don't feel the "superiority" yet
Whats a good strategy to conquer spain as Asturias? I'm thinking about razing everything as I go so they cant really push back and colonize back when the kebab is out of spain
>>135665851
I doubt it, there's a suprising amount of actual faggots amongst /pol/fags. Some of the most anti-feminist, anti-SJW, anti-migrant etc. guys are know are homosexuals and they're pretty open about it as opposed to the stereotypical in the closet self-hating ones.
>>135674830
Yes it does have to come, but to have it as the second expansion pisses everyone off and massively fucks up marketing for the last one. Remember how Attila sold like shit because of the backlash from R2? Yeah we're looking at a lesser version of that if the next lot of fan favourites are saved for last.
I don't know why you think it's only plebs who want elves and lizards, tomb kings and ogres are extremely niche armies even amongst the grognard population and chaos dwarves don't even have an army book. And I say all this as someone who played ogres in tabletop, those races don't have the appeal required to follow up on the heavy hitters being used in the first game without causing a backlash.
And again we've already seen work in progress high elf stuff and with wood elves an almost certain DLC for the first game making elf skeletons ripe for reuse in two other factions, CA would have to be an order of magnitude stupider than they are to save them for later.
