>>140647791
why?
>>140647791
Why? Whats wrong with it?
>>140647072
To be fair that anon said it was a rumour. Based off the creators post on the 19th April about the game being done and just polishing it up for first version release. I too believed it would have been this week.
It's probably next week...probably.
Was Charlemagne a good boy?
>>140647830

>>140647851
Because it's not even based in reality.
And I get that it's fantasy, but there's not a difference between units anymore. No shock infantry, no defensive line, no reason to have any different army compositions or tailoring your armies to different enemies. It's just "throw units at things" Generals seem like they will be the deciding factor in every battle, which is just ducking ridiculous when you're working with large armies.
Pointless.
Every stat is cookiecutter.
And this comes from someone who was excited.
>>140648258
>not based in reality
nor is Total War but game mechanics are what counts in the end

How is the variation in stats in Attila?
>>140648501
Well, you're wrong already because even though it's some and not all, certain units, their place on the battlefield and how they were used in combat is similar in total war to the ways they were used in reality.
Secondly, cookiecutter units in an rts is not good game mechanics.

Both of those are in that picture you idiot, or do you really need it to be spelled out literally for you?
>>140648718
About the same, but with far less units that are outliers.
>>140647963
Hewasbest boy
>>140648741
Sure mang heavy inftantry and cav will be used simiarly fag. I'm sure if rome had Empire units they would be used similarly.
What are the cookiecutter units? Swords and spears have different roles. Greats are in a diffrerent tier. Whats up mang?

I understand why this is the way it is, but I hate this opening position.
I already have to deal with fucking Illyrians trying to goose me in the south and these guys are just hanging out.
>>140648258
What are you taking about?
Here's a hypothetical. You're playing as the empire:
>War with the Dorfs
>They don't have any large units
>Build army of greatswords and swordmen (Anti inf)
>They don't have any cav, all units are slow
>Harass them with your ranged cav
>Bring great cannons to knock out their arty
>War with chaos
>They have a good variety of well armored infantry, amazing cav, and large units
>Have a mix of halberds and greatswords
>Use mortars/hellblasters do deal with their superior armor
>Use demigriffons to over power their cav/dragon ogres
>War with vampires
>Have no ranged, forced to attack you everytime
>Bring ranged inf en masse to take advantage of their slow movement speed
>Use knights to hammer and anvil the shit out of them, causing them to crumble
>Keep halberds in reserve to deal with monstrous creatures, both flying and not
>Use hellstrorms and mortars for splash damage
>War with Orcs
>They have a wide variety of weak spammy inf, quality inf, and monstrous creatures
>Bring an army based on what you'll anticipate they have
>Similar to vamps, but with ranged, worse cav (I think), and worse flying
>Greatsword and swordsmen best bet
>Halberds needed late game
>Artillery should be based on what ever the enemy has, use spies
This is going to be the most varied Total War yet, famalam
>>140647072
Who cares, Warhammer is coming out jn literally less than a month
>>140649245
They have different roles of you truly try to use them differently. Their stats are similar, so you could effectively use them in any role at any time. I should have guessed, what with the tiny unit rosters, but I held out hope.
>>140649359
Well, 70% of other generals' OPs are the SFW versions of their game's fan art. Ours are historical paintings and screenshots and traditional eastern architecture.
I'd say yes.
What happened yo the historical manga list?
>>140651305
The point is that the army of greatswords you pointed out could be your only army comp that you ever use. They have no major difference in stats than anything else.
Just preordered TW warhammer,
anyone else excited for the release?
>>140651619
I am literally grinding my teeth.
>>140651613
>use an amry of only greatswords
>get rekt when the enemy has a handful of cav or monstrous units
>>140651369
look at >>140647335
all does units do something different homie. eMpire got some expendable stiff, some expendables good against big stuff, and high tier shit
>>140651613
>Halberdiers
>Anti-large
>Greatswords
>Anti infantry
No, anon.
>>140651613
That's a terrible point, the stats are now behind the armour piercing, strong defence vs large, strong attack vs large, etc.
What you would have as a number is now under a trait, it's literally the same as before only more varied because of the other units that are not humanoids and magic, also effects like etheral,magic and fire melee attack etc.
You are trying to make it look the same, it's not working, in fact it's the complete opposite and we haven't even seen all the effects yet.
>>140651928
We've literally seen a unit of greatswords take out a unit of cavalry by itself in the Amulet video.
>>1406516193 weeks, 2 days and 16 hours
>>140651680
damn, i preordered on steam, just saw the high king edition, wonder if it is possible to refund and get that edition instead...
>>140651613
Is this your first Total War game? Those raw stats never include the bonuses they get against specific units. That is what the upper half of the stat box is for, to tell you about those bonuses. Spears have always done more damage to cavalry, but they didn't have high stats than a standard swordsman.
I want Tomb Kings, goddammit. Vampire Lords are pussy undead.
>>140652076
Could be operating on the zweihander meme. Or a heavy infantry/light cav situation.
>>140652221
> dead we wuz kangz
Nah, VC is better
>>140652076
They are a good unit that can put up a good fight against most things, but they will be painfully expensive. Sure, throw your GS against cav. It'll be a waste considering that spearmen could get the job done and are much cheaper.
In FotS, I could make a full stack of armstronk guns. I'd win every battle, but I'd have like one or two armies. Balance is more economical and generally more effective.
>>140647121
Wait, Archaon is a caster?
I was hoping to use him as a walking tank raping in melee.
Thinking of getting the High King edition for TW warhammer, views, worth?
>>140652347
This.
Rome 2 had the oathsworn meme. They stood up fantastically against cav.
>>140652621
He's a caster and a melee expert, so he can do both.
>>140652675
I dunno desu, if you're a big fan I guess
>>140652807
Big fan of warhammer, and fantasy more than anything really getting into age of Sigmar at the moment, but not played any of the other total wars
>>140652798
Yeah but how does he fare in melee against say, Ungrim?
>>140652967
Eh, probably pretty well. His stats look really good.
>>140647121
>>140653217
Mmh I hope so, I was planning on playing him first
>tfw eceryone will play Heinrich becauze no one likes Mannfred

150 bucks for some plastic chaff and a few books? I mean, what's your dollar/brain cell ratio?
I'm really excited for Total War: Warhammer
I've played the tabletop game for years and after they decided to retcon the setting, this taking place in the old one is excellent,
Problem is I've never play a Total War game. Which one should I play to get a better understanding of the series' mechanics?
>>140653415
Archaon will be a great duelist. If you really wanted to he is a fire lore wizard if you wanted to focus on that.
>>140653791
Shogun 2 is the easiest o grasp TW concepts
>>140653791
This game will be the most similar to games from Shogun 2 onwards, so I suggest you play those.
>>140653609
well i am a student... so its a matter of the governments money, its more i can manage my money well enough as to not need support from family, not need a job and can treat myself every now and then, i am on the fence about it as the only other game i have ever pre ordered turned out to be the worst game i think i have ever played, kinda put me off pre ordering games since
Nobunaga fresh outta puberty and already saving daddy.
>>140654204
Very few of these extravagant collectors' editions have been any good, especially as of late. I came this close to buying the Fallout 4 CE and whataya know, the game and the CE were both shit. I dodged a bullet with that one.
I'm exited for this game too, but don't get coaxed into buying toys. We don't even know if it's good yet. The only reason I would ever buy a CE is if I wanted to try and turn a profit by selling it later.
>>140653791
Shogun 2 then later on if theres time before Warhammer comes out, try out Attila
>>140654986
Thats the thing only 5k of them are being made
>>140655125
Its rarity increases its value, not quality.
Want to sell it, then it may be a good investment.
Want to keep it, I suppose it's your money.

>The powerful Rhinox (or Rhinoxen) is a large fur-covered creature similar to a woolly rhinoceros, used as a beast of burden by Ogres. Gnoblars construct crude war machines drawn by these beasts and Ogres sometimes use them as mounts.
>Like a horned mountain with legs, the Rhinox is a foul-tempered, enormous beast that can wreak havoc when roused. Under the control of their Ogre masters, their focused fury can be twice as devastating. A charging Rhinox rumbles like thunder, and its hooves churn the earth like an earthquake. It takes a brave man to stand against the charge of Rhinox cavalry.

"List of historical manga for your TW needs UPDATED:
>Historie
http://mangasee.co/manga/?series=Historie
The story of a strategist at the service of King Phillip of Macedon, uses both legends and historical facts for its story.
Mediocre art, mediocre combat, accurate battles.
>Ad Astra - Scipio to Hannibal
http://mangasee.co/manga/?series=AdAstraScipioToHannibal
The second Punic war, despite what you might think it's surprisingly historically accurate, even the parts where Hannibal is depicted as something of a child prodigy are based on quotes from ancient authors, which of course might have been making shit up.
Good art, mediocre combat, accurate battles.
>Wolfsmund
http://mangasee.co/manga/?series=OokamiNoKuchiWolfsmund
14th century Switzerland, the story of the Swiss Cantons rising up agains the Austrian Holy Roman Empire under the Haupsburgs and gaining their independence.
Decent art, accurate combat, inaccurate battles.
>Gunka no Baltzar
http://mangasee.co/manga/?series=GunkaNoBaltzar
TOTALLY NOT PRUSSIA NOT FIGHTING TOTALLY NOT AUSTRIA OVER BAVARIA
Good art, accurate combat, inaccurate* (simply because it's an alternate world setting and these battles didn't take place like this) battles.
>Vinland Saga
http://mangasee.co/manga/?series=VinlandSaga
11th century Vikings, the invasion of England by King Canute, the story of Thorfinn and the discovery of Vinland/Greenland/North east america, SPOILERS
Great art, inaccurate combat, accurate battles
>Bonus: Vagabond
http://mangasee.co/manga/?series=Vagabond
The story of Miyamoto Musashi considered one of the greatest swordsmen to have ever lived, has no real large scale battles but lots of duels, the story is pretty accurate except for a couple incidents where historians are not sure if really happened or not, anyway this is the only historical japanese setting I've seen worth a read.
Amazing art, accurate combat, no real battles."

If you played the table top then you should honestly be fine I think. Table-top seems way harder than total battles. Only the campaign stuff might be hard.
>Goa (Iroquois Confederacy) - War
Yeah, that region to region trading sure is working swell, Portugal giving away one of the richest ports in India for some irrelevant landlocked province in Canada I will likely take away from them eventually, if they don't lose it to natives
Is it Darthmod doing this or is it the vanilla AI's retardness leaking through ?

You know, while it does get really old fighting every last naval battle, at least it's fun to go over and look at the enemy ships as your fleet makes quick work of them.
>>140651613
Get the extended stats mod for Attila and boot it up.
Viking Raiders get +10 attack against all infantry, lots of cavalry get +20 against other cav, spearmen get +20 against cavalry and Expert Charge Defense to take apart charges, two-handers get obliterated by archer fire while heavy spears are nigh immune, etc.
How I increase unit sizes in Attila for multipliers?
1 legion, 10,000 strong, vs a group of 15,000 Crusaders, a mixed rabble of knights, yeomen, peasants, etc
>>140660896
How much is 1 strong?
>>140661007
well that would just be a legionary

>UN laws defend the right for expresion. UN laws are above any other constitutional or other law on the planet. Even so...since when TRUTH is something offending?
Their results prove my right and prove that EVERYTHING I said is true...Just take a look in the unfinished last TW games. I can understand the delicate situation of TWC -that "provides" future personel for CA/SEGA through modding but even so TRUTH must be expressed. Just think your self buying a car... You have read the prosepctus that describe what exactly you buy. You agree according to what you read, you pay for what you agreed and suddenly you recieve half of the car you bought. When you complain the answer you get is "take your car to a car moddifier" to get it done. Is that fair?
About critisism. Truth is saidfrom someone that CARES. Otherwise he/she remains silent. Question: Does TWC forums cares about its members ineterests that THOSE MEMBERS are the reason of its existance and attraction for adds or simply defends CA/SEGA no matter what?
God Anthonius never fails to deliver.
>>140660896
Probably the Legion because they're presumably a disciplined professional army instead of 60% disciplined mob and 35% disciplined professional army (and 5% scavengers who don't actually want to fight)
Also because presumably the legion has a centralized command instead of the crusaders who take orders from three different factions.

>>140664779
I hate Greeks, too.
>>140657404
wow, the game looks like shit. I know that a M2 mod isn't going to look the greatest, but everything looks so stiff and stilted. Watching some of the units move around is just painful, and basically look like they got the miniatures, and slapped wheels on them for movement.
I mean, why even make flying units if they can't do anything that normal cav can't, asides from looking extra shitty
Just installed 1648.
How the hell do I turn a profit in this game?
>>140665473
>Those hot criticisms
This has literally been the case for every game in the series. The older engine suffers more, but even from Empire: Total War onwards it has only gotten marginally better, if not worse in some cases
Unit movement can still be stiff at times, trying to maneuver units in towns is painful, sometimes the units can bug out, etc etc
All of the criticism you gave was valid for Rome 2 for a while. And sadly it will likely still be valid for Creative Assembly's latest releases unless they did a major shake-up of their dev team
The only reason why they haven't taken off after Rome 2 is pretty much because of how buggy, unpolished and DLC-fragmented their games tend to be. If they didn't do that shit they would be trending on the pretty huge sale numbers Rome 2 generated compared to their earlier titles
>>140663557
The Skaven won though
what are the chances that this guy is a legendary lord for lizardmen? i figure we will have an oldblood and probalby a second spawn slann but a casting only glass cannon LL would be fun as fuck
Can someone explain what "brave romans to a man" means?
It doesn't make sense no matter how many times I hear it.
>>140667997
99% chance
The real question about faction lords is who the second and third characters will be and whether or not we'll get the heroes in as super-general/agents
>>140668716
It means they will stay brave (as expected from Romans) and not retreat even if they get killed to a (single) man, and/or that every single man is brave
Did you fail English 101 ?
>>140663356
>What if the crusaders had one of those cross-on-cart things
The Legion would probably hire Saracen auxiliaries to steal it.
>>140668716
Brave Romans to a man means they are all Romans, and all as brave as Romans ought to be.
>>140668930
Kroq-gar, Mazdamundi, and Teninone are my bets on what the lizardmen LLs are gonna be, but if Mazdamundi isn't getting in then Kroak would be the next choice as far as having a slann that has a major part on the TT and the lore.
>>140669697
I'm not familiar with their characters, but a Slann and a powerful warrior/monstrous reptile would make the most sense for two LLs.
"Lucius Aemilius Paullus you are the only one whom the gods in heaven will hold blameless for today’s disaster
Come, take my horse, while there is strength left in your body and I am here to act as your companion, supporter, and defender. Do not desecrate this dreadful battle further with a consul’s death. We have cause enough for tears of grief without that"
>>140669916
"You are a brave man, Gnaeus Cornelius, and a good one. Bless you for it. But you have very little time to escape the enemy’s clutches; don’t waste it in futile acts of pity. Hurry! Tell the Senate to see to Rome’s defences and strengthen them before the victorious enemy arrives. And have a quiet word for me in private with Quintus Fabius. Tell him that as long as I lived and even as I died, I never forgot his words of wisdom Now leave me here to breathe my last among my slaughtered soldiers. I have no desire to stand trial once again for my consulship, still less to denounce a colleague in the hope that I might protect my own good name by accusing someone else of failure"
>>140647335
Can anyone hazard a guess at the icons at the bottom of the unit cards? I'm new to Total War and despite tinkering with a few sessions of Shogun 2 in preparation I'm still unfamiliar with a lot of stuff.
Based on the units that have it in the Empire roster, it looks like EVERY DWARF UNIT has Shieldwall. Which is amazing. Any guesses on some of the others?
>>140669916
>>140670028

The eye may be Hidden or can hide.
The 2 arrows in the red circle look like fast reload for artillery.

>>140669862
Screw that
Tetto'Eko or bust
>>140669862
Monstrous wouldn't because all the bigger reptiles are just animals.
It'll probably be Mazdamundi; the eldest Slann,
and Kroq-gar, a saurus that rides a Carnosaur(T-Rex). Probably most obvious third option would be Tehenuhain, the skink prophet of the serpent cult.
Kroak is kinda an option but as he basically exists as a ghost attached to a mummified corpse/ICBM he isn't a leader anymore.
You've also got two lesser Saurus, a Skink and a Chameleon. While each are pretty neat they're not Lord tier(translation to TW army leading duties, I forget which is in which actual category.)
>>140670424
The eye is probably can hide in woods and tall grass
The red person with an arrow is the vanguard deployment (white zone outside of your main deployment zone)
The two red arrows with a / through them obviously means can't run
The unique one under neath the gyrobomer is probably its bombs.
Not to sure about others.
>>140670424
The eye is likely 'can hide in shrubbery' or whatever. The little arrow on the red dude is either guerilla deployment or rocket jumping.
The blue shield I dunno about, the black shield is probably shieldwall
>>140670619
No it's definitely 'cannot run'
>>140670424

>The blue shield I dunno about, the black shield is probably shieldwall
I don't think so, based on who has the blue shields in >>140647335 it looks lik...
Oh shit. Yeah Halberds and Spearmen have the same "Shield With Chevron" as... yeah only Longbeards have that one. Which I'm guessing is Shieldwall based on the Empire units that have it. Blue Shield must be something else.
>>140668716
It means that the men are, to a man (all of the men present in the group) are brave (courageous, valiant, selfless) and Roman (civilized)
>>140672728
Not a fan of judging units by their statcards just cause of the passive/active ability bar is so much more meaningful here
Instead of just being shit like the ability to hide in forests you have stuff like Ethereal letting a unit ignore 75% of non-magic damage
>>140670424
>shield wall
I thought they said that there will be no unit abilities anymore. The only thing will be spells. I mean I want unit abilities. I want my halberds to form a spear wall.
> Tomb Kings still not announced
>>140673319
Yeah, the stats themselves don't mean much unless you actually care about stuff like "Percent Chance to Hit" or "Damage Done Per Strike", which you have to calculate yourself. Just trying to suss out those passives and actives by comparing similar unit cards.
>>140673320
Where the fuck did you hear that, son? Tons of units are going to have abilities. That's what the Gyrobomber's bombs are, just as one example.

Maybe it's resistant to magic?
BE READY ALREADY
>>140674523
Can't tell on the zoomed in view but that's probably what it is. Which makes sense for Dwarfs, they need to reduce the damage Magic does somehow. I was hoping they'd do it more like the older mechanics, where Dwarfs make magic more likely to misfire just by being there.
Another fun thing is that Thunderers are Shielded while only wearing shields on their backs, which I'm assuming means they're extra defended against non-flanking attacks. Makes sense.

Yeah, going back to the Thundering Falls video it looks like Magical Damage is represented as a blue symbol, so the blue shield is probably Magical Resistance.
Also, on the debate of Thunderers (handguns) versus Quarrellers (crossbows). Looks like it's the same as the tabletop where Crossbows get more range and damage but lose out on armor-piercing.
We worked hard to shed the blood of Frankish men, and thankfully we managed to outlast Charlemagne the Bloodthirsty. A shame that it was the Lombards instead of us dealing the final blow.
Lileath, elven goddess of dream, also known as the 'lady'. No cucking, the elves are the one that are cucked.
>>140676841
>All bretonnian knights can get a magical save that can deflect cannon balls because lileath favors them
>No elf can get said favor
Sure its the bretonnians that are """"""""Cucked""""""""
if anything Lileath has a man fetish because of how fucking awesome bretonnians actually are.
ERE THE SUN IS HIGH IN HEAVEN

>>140676841
the cuck meme is because she had an elvish child with an elf prince once that was purely out of racial duty to the elves to make sure the elves actually survived. It was the king of brettonia she married and made a god to join her in the new world, and the elf baby was probably before they married. the cuck meme is too forced, elves are cuck'd
And with that, the Saxons saved Paganism from being destroyed by the likes of Charlemagne. Though they did not expand far beyond the borders of the kingdom of Saxony, they at least managed to shed the blood of over 4000 Frankish boys. So much for Charlemagne's one god leading him to victory.

alright /twg/ i own all the games n shit except for rome 2, and i havent ever played em
tell me whats shit and whats not shit so i dont have to waste my time
>>140681315
start with shogun 2 then move to attila
>>140681315
Shit for new players: Anything before Shogun 2 because they handle like shit
Good for new players: Shogun 2 because it's a very good introduction to the series and easy to grasp
After Shogun 2 move onto Attila, just be prepared for a difficulty spike. Rome 2 is like the easier version of Attila and no longer buggy and shit but it's still somewhat lacking in the politics area and such. FotS is probably your best gunpowder TW, Napoleon is good too.
>>140681315
>>140681814
I'd specifically advise to play the original Rome and M2 first. They're pretty damn good if a lot more clunky than later titles, which is why you want to play them first.
It'd be hard to downgrade some of the quality of life the advancement of the series brings, so you would be missing out on a lot of good shit and mods.
>>140682104
The clunkiness of those titles often drives players away from the series altogether.
>>140674486
I want pike and shot, Victoria or Medieval.
If we can fully edit the map then Medieval would offer the best modding foundation but I feel like the modding community has experienced a major brain drain from the past. Pike and shot would be fun and have pew pew with melee being important still, victoria would have lots of neat techs.
>>140651369
>these units are exactly the same
>unless you use them for their intended role
Are you high?
I imagine it's going to be similar to Atilla where there's a slight variance between spearman (who have a slight defensive advantage and the ability to counter and lock down cav) and sword/axe infantry (who are good at encircling enemy units and chopping through their lines)
>>140682229
And here citation is given that the series improves in that aspect, so if they find the earlier titles unsatisfying because of certain poor features they've heard that they should try a later title.
>>140652076
But anon. High quality sword infantry can 1v1 lots of cavalry in most Total War games. It's still not a great strategy because high quality units are so ruinously expensive.
You're better off using spears which will do the job for a fraction of the price and keep one or two great swords for carrying the front line.

I've never really bothered with naval battles in Total War. I usually just have one full stack fleet roaming around to stop my trade getting fucked but I find the ai never bothers to meet my desire for huge naval battles.
>Empire
>build a navy of which the world have never seen
>fly out into the world and notice every other enemy navy on the map has like three units in it
>declare war on Spain because they have a full stack navy
>it's entirely made up of sloops, brigs and trade ships
Never again
>>140683412
I think navies could be made significantly more important if internal trade was a thing and if raiding navies killed fishing food income.
>>140683727
I think they'd be made more purposeful if you had chains of islands that could be developed with ports and economy buildings but we're too small to put land armies on so have to be defended with navies.
>>140683869
Maybe something like DeI's supply system could work where you could have sea supply routes.
>>140683727
It's not about navies being too important or not, as it'd just increase micromanagement of little tiny battles on the campaign map.
It already kinda is that way in Shogun 2, navy can be fairly important given the lengths people will go to ship armies, and their very happy port sacking behavior.
None of the intricacies of naval interaction matters as it doesn't meet that poster's desire for really large scale naval battles. The AI just never builds a doomfleet.
I think naval battles are pretty boring in TW games personally so I don't care.
>playing some rise of the samurai
>picking easy mode fujiwara after my taira game didn't pan out
>no money
>everybody hates me and won't trade with me
>get constantly attacked by doomstacks of sword attendants and samurai
>mfw
I don't remember hard being this hard.
>>140684073
Rise of the Samurai is good because of its difficulty and more unique setting.
>>140683965
>>140684043
One of the biggest problems with naval combat in every Total War is how damn hard it is to actually destroy or capture an enemy fleet. If naval battles could be decisive when the two fleets finally find each other and engage, then people would be more inclined to use them.
>>140684268
Well first off we need to get rid of the ridiculous habit ships have of self-igniting when they lose melee combat.
Then there's the problem of 'forced march' and 'row hard' where armies and navies can forever elude you because they move so much faster.
>>140684268
It was easier in Empire/Napoleon because you could load chain shot and cripple fleeing ships.
My biggest complaint is how high the team who made the naval combat for Rome II/Atilla must have been.
Who could look at how the battles pan out and think "yeah. This looks pretty fun!"
I get that naval combat in those days had none of the stately grandeur to it that later eras had, but fucking hell.
The whole thing is just a cluster fuck.
>>140684579
Rome 2 civilized-civilized naval battles were okay as long as you had two half-strength fleets going around, full stacks devolved into a clusterfuck unless you had 4-6 arty ships.
Boarding should've been Shogun 2 style though, the Romans historically had a huge advantage against Carthaginians because they had this little drawbridge thing on their ships.
>>140683412
I can tell that you've never played FotS.
>bombardment from a large and powerful navy makes siege battles a joke
>enemy navies will block thousands of gold worth the money from trade route
>then bombard your buildings, which can easily take up several thousand gold per turn to fix
>the enemy AI can also make use of ship bombardment during battles
Basically, you can't just leave naval battles alone, and the auto-resolve will sink your ships even when it's so far in your favor that the actual battle that you're forced to fight is a fifteen second exchange (once you actually reach them) that's just you blowing the shit out of them.
>>140684748
His complaint was that naval battles aren't cool, large, or enjoyable, not that they don't exist. FotS navies are often shit-tier but as you said you have to fight them anyway.
>>140684748
See, I've only played FoTS on standard difficulty because at the time I had a Theisis to write and by the time I was finished Atilla was out, but I felt as though the enemy severely underused their naval assets.
They bombed my towns once or twice but it was more a token effort than any coherent anti-economy plan.
Maybe I'll replay on legendary or something to see if they play a better game.
>>140684384
Granted, the Land Battles do this pretty well with the extra speed all units get when charging.
I know Man O' War isn't the most up to date thing, but Total War needs to take a page from their rulebooks. If you hurt a ship enough it gets its movement reduced and is eventually crippled. You don't need chain shot to model the fact that killing crew or putting holes in sails is going to keep a ship from just running off. Plus, most IRL naval battles had huge losses for the losing side, which is rarely represented in Total War.
>>140684956
Difficulty simply makes enemy armies and navies fuckhueg, gives them extra cash, makes them fight harder, increases PO, and might increase loyalty and stuff. It doesn't actually make them smarter.
>>140685056
I actually meant the problem where enemy navies would completely refuse to fight you because you were slightly bigger and the autocalc suggested roflstomp and could evade you indefinitely in a single sea zone.
>>140685157
>I actually meant the problem where enemy navies would completely refuse to fight you because you were slightly bigger and the autocalc suggested roflstomp and could evade you indefinitely in a single sea zone.
Bring two navies.

Quests were interesting at first when only two or three quests were being run at any time. By the end, upwards of 30-40% of the board could be quests with old threads still in the catalog as new ones are being made because the small image limit had been hit, choking out actual original content.

Right but it's still on a site that was created for the discussion of anime, people came to 4chan to discuss anime, other boards were created so they could discuss other stuff in addition to anime. Everyone complaining about anime is just a newfag desu.

No, it means you shouldn't primarily discuss anime in those threads and that focused discussion or long off topic tangents into x anime should not be allowed outside of /a/. Anime reaction images are okay and it is foolish to expect that nobody on any board outside of /a/ likes anime, just as it is foolish to think that nobody in /a/ likes video games.
