They are all shit and not suited for TW despite of what their autistic fans will claim.
>>135873390
Map and ethnic distribution of the real world, but with Age of Mythology shit all up in it.
>>135873365
Probably killed by a friendly archer.
So I got Attila.
Okay I'm 50 turns in and this game is so goddamn hard.
I never have enough money to build more than 1 and 1/2 stacks and as soon as I pull them out of my settlements my public order tanks.
Not to mention my money is teetering on bankruptcy after every turn.
Seriously, what must I goddamn do???
Playing as Franks btw.

>>135873741
Your first mistake was playing as Franks.
>>135873741
Don't focus so much on stacks. Focus on economy and stability, then go for an army. Until then just be on the defensive. Perhaps raid some fools for extra cash.
I made this for EB2 Shitposter and Tombkings shitposterIts supposed to be a skelly in roman armour

I want them to make a new engine that can handle modern warfare (WW1 and onwards) and then make a 40k game.
>>135873741
How? just take all of frisia and belgica and build up for a while. Strike when you can when you have the advantage. Don't take unneccesary risks with your armies early game.
This is my first playthrough too. 99 turns in and im making at over 5k per turn with 3 and a half stacks on the map.
>>135873836

You are so goddamn wrong that I'm a little bit frightened.
>>135874554
It would need battles similar to Wargame.
I could dig it.
It still wouldn't properly portray warfare though, isolated battle events dont occur nowadays, and they cant exactly make the battle map 50 miles wide and last days.
>>135874579
As ERE I was completely fine with 4 stacks, why do you need so many armies?
Your income is complete garbage for turn 99
>>135874682
Yeah CA would fuck it up. But TW WW1 would be fucking amazing if they could ever pull it off.
>>135875027
ERE at 99 turns in is going to have a fuckload more income than the Franks at that point. 5k isnt bad.

So is Empire Total War shit? Every time I try to play the units seem unresponsive and it's just a slow grinding cluster fuck. I felt like I got better gunpowder fighting from Shogun 2 and Medieval 2 compared to Empire.
Just got Attila lads.
Which factions should I play first?
>>135875239
And it will have a much bigger area to defend and Hordes roaming in its area.
>>135875069
They could go the Vicky 2 route.
1836 - Post-Napoleon. Industrialization, Global Empires
to 1936 - The Great War and scramble for Africa ending with rise of national socialism in Germany (if it still exists).
>>135875515
Huns
>>135875515
WRE or saxons or ostrogoths out of vanilla factions
>>135875515
>>135875657
Did you just deliberately state the hardest factions to play?
>>135875282
I'm just hoping the langobards and alamans absorb most of the damage desu. I have alliances with them and they've been really useful guarding my eastern front and even putting down rebellions for me. The viking factions were all pretty bro-tier too but I'm going to out the jutes soon enough and the geats will probably want war at that point too.
>>135875426
Yes its universally known to be bad.
Get NTW for that type of warfare
>>135875515
Garamantians
>>135875515

The hardest question of all.
Do I get Radious?for Attila
>>135875561
Yeah that would be pretty cool, too bad it would require the budget of a triple A title and actually skilled devs to not suck.
>>135875859
NTW has the same kind of issues. Plus the map is 60% smaller.
>>135874856

NTW beats Empire for the simple fact it runs better, has tighter controls and decent variety of units. Plus it has some neat campaigns.
>>135876016
There have been numerous undisputable masterpieces in total war modding, such as the strikingly realistic classic Europa Barbarorum or its medieval counterpart Stainless Steel. Radious mod will not join their ranks; its surface is too generic, its presentation too provocative and its messages too obscure. Its take on the abysmal is an illumination in one person’s despair, but a paroxysm of another’s perversion. It will remain underground – treasured by the most avant-garde among intellectuals for its edifying if horrifying insight into the fundaments of human morality. Philistines and self-proclaimed critics alike will shun Radious mod, but you can’t fault them for that. It takes wisdom to appreciate its subtleties, and courage to side with the unpopular opinion. Sed domi maneas paresque nobis novem continuas fututiones.
Superficially, Radious mod appears to be a mod which caters to the most proletarian among men; aloof critics dismiss it as such often without a second thought. As complacent as these self-proclaimed "understanders of strategy" are, they fail to realize that Radious mod is a cult classic, a chef d'oeuvrea buried under false preconceptions and unfounded criticism. This gem is hidden because it does not shine; it is buried because its tone is that of abyssal black. Radious mod pries into to the darkest corners of our subconscious, the most visceral of our cognition, the most carnal of our urges, and the most primal of our instincts.
As brilliantly put by Cattalus, "Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo"; to describe the artistic qualia of Radious mod would be to describe music to the deaf, color to the blind or beauty to the philistine. The painting speaks for itself, and it is up to the player to fully absorb its depth. Its sublimity will ever be debated yet always remain objectively irrefutable; the fundamental insight it provides into human and perhaps animalistic nature may shape the basis of Total War modding for centuries to come.
What if units were more mercurial. Individual soldiers could break off to go where they wanted to fight or flee. Training, morale, and integrity would affect their ability to stay together. You could reabsorb your units/they wouldn't count as losses/etc. That would probably pave the way for more modern settings while allowing older settings to work.

Its only afterwards that i realized that i basically embezzeled tons of money in order to fight off corruption.
>>135876345
I tried to do this but the first turn overwhelmed me. I decided to do Franks first, then I'll try the huns, then WRE or ERE.
>>135876354
Yeah sure it runs better and was optimized in other aspects but the core gameplay is still the same shit empire was.
Bringing the heat
Does Attila come back if you assassinate him? I know that if you kill him in battle he apparently just runs away and makes a new stack, but I assassinated and only wounded him but then got an achievement for killing him.

Attila only comes back once. You can kill him, he'll respawn with a full stack. Down him again and he's down for the count.
>>135877479
What about assassination?
>>135877931
I think you can assassinate him
>>135876907
A lot of Roman troops are disciplined, their general being killed doesn't effect their morale as much, where as your disgusting barbar rabble isn't.
fuck wurrzag.
>>135878189
Actually I think if a unit has discipline they don't lose any moral at all if the general dies
>>135878338
Brettonia confirmed playable?
>>135878086
That's what I'm saying I did. When I looked at the chances the odds of killing him were zero so I could only wound him, but I don't know if that counts as a respawn death or permanent death because I got an achievement for killing him the next turn.
I guess I'm asking if that only fires if you just "kill" him or if you permanently kill him.

>>135878620

Playing as natives would be a real rewarding challenge.
The player could still win assuming unit sizes are much larger than the colonists and with actual strategy.

It'd be good though it should include India, the middle eats and China. Opium wars/Khartoum/thuggees were too epic to miss out.

>>135879729
Yeah, I would like a game based on the American civil war. The same controversy still applies. Imagine the headlines:
"New AAA strategy game supports racism"
"CA to release a game where you can commit genocide in Africa"
"Millions triggered by white supremacist confederate sympathizing RTS"
"BLM picketing Creative Assembly headquarters"
Just look at all the shit surrounding historical games that featured the Confederate flag.

Is... France a single province? Is Spain a single province?
What the fuck.
>>135882907
:^)
>>135882907
I never understood this argument.
Sure they're single provinces but they're fairly large and it makes it easier for one army to protect them so that their main focus can be in naval battles for trade routes or the new world.
its empire. its about building empires, not europe.
I don't get this europe map meme. so many games have huge maps of europe. Europe is boring its played out. give ups colonization and empire building.
>>135876481
Actually thats a pretty cool idea to have guys slowly breaking off from a unit and fleeing when they are lossing then the whole unit shattering at once.
>>135883238
Dude
you can literally take all of france or spain after like 10 turns with an autoresolve battle
>>135883406
yes, its called cheesing the system.
CA fucked up their execution big time.
>>135883406
And you can literally take all of Turkey in one autoresolve battle, what's your point.
>>135883643
that its a terrible system to have an entire nation as one city
>>135881290
What year is this. Why aren't Hindus already past iran and blobbing into Ottomans and russia like in every Empire game?
>>135883901
Well, you can either have a whole world, but with single city nations, or nations with multiple provinces but a much smaller world map.

>mfw playing Rome 2 after Attila
I definitely notice the difference. Units just feel clunkier in Rome 2 than attila; the cavalry dont move as well, it feels more like sloshing than advancing.

What we have done so far:
- Built up the existing provinces a bit
- built up a small army in mercia (now in wales)
- hired some mercenaries
The army arrayed against the welsh is the following:
3 royal guards
2 urban militia
1 peasant
1 archers
1 mangonel
1 mounted crossbowmen
Bit down on money but its to be expected

Is the AI in Attila supposed to be this cooperative? I have a block of defensive alliances in Scandinavia and parts of Europe. The factions are all on good terms with each other. Are they ever going to turn on me?
>>135883272
I just want experience in battle to be more important.
It's fucking stupid that experience counts for so little, and that the best way to get triple-gold units is to stack research and buildings and edicts and character traits, instead of actual battle.
Experience should work like this:
Shit-tier (negative bronze chevrons):
You rounded up some peasants and gave them a few sticks. They really just want to go home and check on the crops and make sure the village priest isn't fucking their wives. They have shit combat ability, shit cohesion, and rout ridiculously easily.
Basic normal tier (0 to 3 bronze chevrons):
The men have received some basic training. They're still going to be scared as fuck going into their first battle, but no worse than any other man in his first ordeal. Normal units can never get above this level without seeing combat - nobles and well-drilled Roman regulars can get up to the first silver chevron.
Veterans (silver chevrons):
The men have seen and lived through combat. This should be a really important milestone - they should be a lot more resistant to morale shocks, and their combat skills should increase somewhat (because they've seen the kind of shit you can't train for).
Balance-wise, they should behave like vanilla Attila units, with lower-exp units just being a lot quicker to break than they are now.
Elites (gold chevrons):
The best of the best of the best. Units that reach this level of experience should be very difficult to break, and receive the same kind of buffs that pre-built elite units get now. The highest level should always fight to the death, similar to Napoleon's Imperial Guard.

>>135886570
Yes. As you build up Imperium, they will start to hate you more.
>>135886570

>>135886461
>>135886730
>level up peasants to gold chevrons in Rome 1
>slaughter fucking mid-tier troops like nobody's business
Always imagined these crazy fucks with just a knife and pitchforks vaulting over shields and stabbing people in the carotids
>>135886730
Thats just stupid. The experience is on the unit, not the type of unit it is.
>>135887148
How is combat in this game? Is it too clunky, or not?
>>135886570
If you get the mod that turns off Imperium, nope.
I did and I had the entirety of Germania together along with West Roman Separatists, Hispania and Septimania like some sort of Bizzaro UN
>>135887148
>>135887164
sauce?
>>135887405
They are surrounded, not too long now....
>>135887254
The camera is really weird, you left click instead of right click. It's playable though
>>135886730
More crunch:
Levy units by default start at -3 experience, regulars at 0, nobles at 4 (first silver chevron). EXP-increasing effects should/will be rarer and more valuable, because each chevron is now much more important, and you really want to make sure that your newly recruited armies can hold their own.
Ideally, upgrading to higher tiers would require units to reach a certain level of experience. I.E. even if you've researched the next tier of spearmen, you're stuck with levies unless you have a good training infrastructure, or send those levies to battle.
Battle should drastically increase chevrons. The first sizable battle should bring you up to 3/4. Every two sizable battles should give you another silver or gold chevron, so that you only need ~12 battles to be the elite of the elite (and think about it - how often do you actually see 12 big battles with a single unit?). Possibly you should get exp even faster, because you're likely to lose some from casualties.
Just being in battle should be enough to get silver chevrons, but you should have to take part in actual combat to progress into gold. Ideally there would be a formula to assign experience, that increases it for seeing real combat, and for being in even/difficult battles (because the men who survive will have seen some shit and know they can come out alive).
tl;dr make experience way more important, and make it actually fucking reflect the experience of our units in battle. An army of greenhorns should be easily routed by my hardened army of FEARSOME SPEARMEN who have been fighting their way across Europe for 10 years.

i have always wanted a rebel faction kinda spartacus style, I would think of it like this. Pick a faction you spawn as a rebel army with like 3-4 decent high/mid tier units, then every time you raid or shit you get some trash units but if they rank up they get better gear and items from whoever they defeat, tahuks are kinda close but its still not enough

>jews are fantasy

Yeah that won't happen in my Otomo campaign
>control most of Kyushu
>vassalized half of the Honshu west of Kyoto (other half was my ally that didn't want to help me in a war against Tokugawa, Date, and Onodera)
>currently vassalizing all of Shikoku, and Kii Penninsula
I basically have the Ashikaga surrounded, but I'm distracted by a bunch of wars, and the Shogunate has 4-6 stacks in three territories, so going after them will take alot of manpower

Hey, if I play Otomo can I force my vassal somehow to adopt Christianity so I won't half to deal with the religion penalty? If I missionary nuke them into rebellion and then conquer and vassalize them will they automatically be Christian?
>Charlieman for the first time
>Instantly attacked by two armies
>At war on all fronts
>Mission comes in to destroy my brother
Look I don't think I have the time, game. I WISH I had the time.
Fuck me, any early game advice? War weariness up the ass right now.
Tech illiterate here.
If my PC runs Attila mostly stutter free on High can I assume that I'll be able to play Warhams without too many issues?
