You think that's fucking stupid? It happened in real life. And triggered the Mongol Invasion.

>Genghis Khan then sent a second group of three ambassadors (one Muslim and two Mongols) to meet the Khwarezmian shah himself and demand the caravan at Otrar be set free and the governor be handed over for punishment. The shah had both of the Mongols shaved and had the Muslim beheaded before sending them back to Genghis Khan. Muhammad also ordered the personnel of the caravan to be executed. This was seen as a grave affront to the Khan himself, who considered ambassadors "as sacred and inviolable."[7] This led Genghis Khan to attack the Khwarezmian Dynasty. The Mongols crossed the Tien Shan mountains, coming into the Shah's empire in 1219.[8]

What is generally a typically "decent" setup for an army? As I understand it, spearmen aren't that good in Attila.

I'm primarily talking early/mid-game since I never tend to go too far before restarting.
>>
>>146705956

Judging by previous examples, it would get turned into an Imperial Province. Perhaps two, as it's much larger than any individual province. As such, Leon or his successor and one other would become Elector Counts.

The worship of the Lady would probably still be permitted, but worship of Sigmar and Ulric would be promoted. The power of the nobility would be curbed, and the influence of the middle merchant class promoted. Peasants taxes drop from the ridiculous 90%, to more reasonable levels (still high, but even the most despotic nobles in the Empire rarely take more than 60%).

Yeah, but at least then thye actually did it.

>>146706185

if you want to be a boring faggot you could always have about 6-8 spearmen for you wall, 2-4 swordsmen for flanking, 1-2 units of axemen for anti-armor, and loads of cav for hammer and to chase routers.

Don't bother using archers/slingers, the micro is annoyingly painful since there's no guard mode, your guys will literally just walk into combat if you forget about them for more than 5 seconds, and they'll give a morale malus to your other troops when they rout
>>
>>146706434

>it's difficult to say if people would benefit more

The peasantry of Bretonnia would absolutely have an improved lifestyle. Massively so, in fact.

They pay a 90% tax rate to lords who are allowed to abuse them any way they like. In the Empire, they'd pay a 40% tax rate to lords who are expected to hold a certain degree of decorum to the lower classes (not a lot, but not killing them for looking at their horses wrong either).

That, combined with the massive economic opportunities would see most of them having a massively improved quality of life.

Idk, maybe because people have lives and aren't on here, or their playing the game? That would be the most obvious reasons.

But no, TWWH has done wonderfully, so much so, that CA claimed they were going to add much more content than they initially planned.

Give it time anon, soon there will be several more factions and units added to the game and the game will grow better because of it

>>146706927

Yes. When Marienburg was originally conquered, it was the Kingdom of the Jutones.

The defeated King was made Elector Count.

The Empire has a pretty good system for it's defeated rivals, in that the enemy nobility now have a chance to run for rulership of the nation that defeated them.
>>
>>146706952

Dwarves are such cancer to deal with as the Empire in the campaign early on. It's why I always non-aggressive pact and ally with them.

Until you get Halberdiers, you've got nothing that can pierce armor reliably in melee. And Halberdiers aren't that great in melee anyway.

Lategame though, it's quite fun marching two stacks of steamtanks into their nation and fucking everything up.
>>
>>146706927

It wouldn't really upset the Empire, classically speaking, if they did. There used to be a dozen Elector Counts in the Empire but now there's only ten. The remaining two were Counts of lands that were absorbed into other provinces.
>>
>>146706807
Thanks senpai, gonna wait for more input but I was leaning towards Celts already.
>>
>>146707332

There's literally no reason to pick a fight with the dwarven clans early on.

That said, they aren't THAT bad early on. It's relatively easy to just lock them in combat with your frontline, then charge them from the rear again and again with the Reiksguard until they break.

>>
>>146709131
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.
>>
>>146710350
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.

Should I just make them PUMP THOSE DWARVEN LEGS and be a mobile flanking squad?

A bloody and glorious battle, won by two true sons of Mork. Many black orcs finally met their end this day, having finally met worthy foes. This iron motherfucker here saw his entire warband, including himself, die. But he is still standing, and his green dick grew three sizes that day from all the waaaagh that he'd just lived through.

Everyone experiences the mess that is Radious for themselves once. I Raded Attila and could not stop grinding my teeth that from barbars to sandies everyone had access to god spears, swords, axes, cavs, etc.

I do not remember bug moral buffs but that might have been a TWW thing he did. Did armies cost get reduced to practically nothing in the TWW mod?

What exactly is the role of skirmishers in Attila? I never understood. They don't have the rapid fire of slingers, or the range of slingers. They don't have the lob-skywards ability of archers, or the sheer killing power of crossbowmen.

Why would I use skirmishers rather than just a line of crossbowmen for flanking range, aside from rate of fire - which usually isn't that good with skirmishers anyways?

I ask you: Do you want total war? If necessary, do you want a war more total and radical than anything that we can even imagine today?

Radious mod is not a mod to be taken literally. It is saturated with an abundance of metaphors and symbolism; some painfully and intentionally obvious whiles others painfully subtle. It is not particularly intelligent and never makes any attempts at being profound. Although occasionally nonsensical and gratuitously pornographic, it would be wrong to judge Radious mod on its face value alone.

Radious mod is the ugly duckling: scorned for unsightliness, but an ethereal swan from the start. It is a fairytale of vibrant colours and simple joys. It truly is that brilliant painting of which a fleeting glimpse you catch, but an enduring impression you get.

In conclusion, I do not think Radious mod deserves all the ridicule and hatred that is being dished out. The stringency and inadaptability of the traditional historical and lore friendly approach practiced by so called "understanders of strategy" is to blame for this. Hoc salsum esse putas? fugit te, inepte: quamuis sordida res et inuenusta est. Radious mod is unshackled from such rigidities and doing so through homosexuality rather than the vapid norm, it sheds light on the enigma which has eluded psychologists for centuries.

Nun, Volk, steh auf und Sturm brich los!

They double as light infantry and can often hold their own for a while against spear troops. Especially the Nordic Skirmishers (Very Heavy Skirmisher Infantry) who can actually defeat some midgame sword or spear infantry outright. They also take light cav charges a lot better and can sometimes defeat them.
