I think so yeah, as cliche as it might be I think their publisher is the one pushing their shit in. Just look at the free slav DLC that was supposed to be 7 bucks but they gave shittons of away if you tweeteed them a '''''funny'''' picture. You could probably tweet them anime and they'd have given you it, I think they want to make good products but keep getting shafted, apparently Avatar Conquest was cut by order of Sega because 'too much content we should've charged more'.

He's talking out of his ass. They haven't said anything about the future of naval combat in Warhammer. All they've told us is that it's not in the first game.
>>
>>135967047
Saying it's not in the first game is corporate doublespeak for "it'll be in the second game but we're not outright saying it just in case to avoid backlash should we choose to cancel it"
>>
>>135967714
You're a terrible translator.
'Not in the first game' means you probably won't ever see it in a base game.

>>135967714
No it means, "we aren't including it in the game". I guess I should have worded it better.

Take Africa and turtle for a while and you should be in a pretty good place to defend when the huns come.

How do I play the Migrators? I always start, play a couple of turns sacking some cities, then completely lose all direction and give up. Same goes for Hordes.
>>
>>135968939
huns? just burn everything.

I like to make an attempt at historical boundaries for the other migration factions. Or sometimes even just try to take ridiculous objectives like a province in each corner of the map.
>>
>>135968939
Make a goal for yourself, such as taking and holding certain regions, destroying x faction, staying as a horde etc.

If you play as Huns in Atilla do you get Atilla as a general and the ability to field miles and miles of no upkeep doom stacks?
>>
>>135968718

You keep sacking if you're a horde, you find a comfy place to settle if you're a migrator and sack on the way.

Tough call, maybe but it's hard to do.

Rating as how i felt at the time of playing, not how it feels to go back
>Rome 1
8.5/10 - It was just amazing, a whole ancient world and adventure
>Med 2
7/10 - I enjoyed it but it just wasnt amazing like rome 1 was to play.
>Empire
8/10 - Everyone bitches about empire but i wasn't involved in any TW community, i just played it and enjoyed the huge world and history, i guess i just ignored the bugs somehow.
>Napoleon
9/10 - Honestly a great, polished and tight TW with a brilliant setting and very immersive. You probably really have to be into the era a lot though.
>FOTS
7/10 - It's good and fun but i don't really get the popularity. Everything is very repetitive and battles are stupidly easy, though fun. Best tw naval warfare for me though.
>Rome 2
6/10 - plagued with bugs, but good fun when it was going well. The 5 minute turn times were horrible, honestly theres not much to say, it was a great TW buried under a pile of bugs.
>Attila
9/10 - Great, well polished and very atmospheric, very challenging on some factions, has some really interesting and new features which brings new life to the series

I have to run an errand quickly but FOTE should be updated to v5 on steam now. You should see new mod icons by our new team member Verzione for parts 1/2/3/4. I will work on updating KOTO for those who want AOC with fote skins but not fote mechanics soon.

In terms of changes:
-Sassanid roster revamped
-White huns revamped with Avetis' sub-mod.
-tech requirements removed for the desert kingdom units (that made them not appear on your building trees until after you had unlocked them. Now they are still building-tech locked by tier, so for instance your camel cata for Himyar are T4 barracks).
-Various bug-fixes.
-White huns need further stat balancing so bear that in mind.
-I'll try and catch whatever bugs you report when I am in this topic.

Fairly sure some areas like the mid-east mercs may be a bit messy still.
>>
>>135991337
can white huns settle yet?
>>
>>135991337

Yeah apparently the white huns are pretty damn OP and scarry. But Dresden will be looking at balancing them post-haste.

Will be around if there are any questions. Want to hear if the Sassanids are too easy or too hard.

Enjoy the pajammies.

Nah, that I think would involve startpos editing and some other stuff. Avetis' sub mod with the white huns will need to be updated to FOTE but when he does you'll be able to do his whole "White hun nomads or white hun sedentary faction" business.

So for now white huns will be like in vanilla, just with their new units. And because we aren't editing the startpos yet some of their starting armies begin with Germanic or Sarmatian units, but once the celts and nords are done we will look into finally editing the startpos

What can an absolute noob in Rome 2 play to get the handle of the game without being overburdened?

What factions is best for to learn as I play? What settings etc.

I've been doing skirmish battles stacked in my favor to practice basic formations but it feels hollow.

Rome of course.

He means that the Teutonic Order became Prussia, which then became Germany.
Which is obviously a little strained, but they were responsible for an influx in Germanic settlers in the area.

It literally didn't. Brandenburg was the more powerful of the two during the merge but since prussia was outside of HRE it gave more independence to the Hohenzollerns. Prussia was a shitty backwater duchy that was a vassal state of fucking POLAND. The only reason hohezollerns ruled in it was because that spawn of satan heretic scum Grandmaster that betrayed the Catholic Church and formed a secular protestant state of Prussia was a Hohenzollern.
