Come on guise, no Total War thread?

Been playing Attila, edging myself for the new TW Saga: Throne of Britannia.

The nordic faction (Jutes in particular) are so fucking good, I fucking love shock infantries, they just fucking murder the enemy main line.

Attila runs like shit even on lowest settings. I also have no idea how to play it since they insisted on shoving all this grand strategy shit into the newer games where you have to elect a council family feudes. Fuck that shit.

The best entry in the series is Napoleon because it the engine works well with guns.

>I also have no idea how to play it since they insisted on shoving all this grand strategy shit into the newer games where you have to elect a council family feudes. Fuck that shit.

How? It's literally just a matter of electing your family members/nobles into higher position so they get more bonus and your faction as a whole can get more bonus.

d293e6 No.13902449

>>13902442

Cav is very good in Attila.

As a total-infantry faction, you are gonna have to be a very good commander, at least for multiplayer. Against the AI, all you need to do is having a solid wall of infantry supported by onager and archers to lure the cavs in.

I reinstalled attila literally the other day but can't force myself to play it.

What's a good faction for a first run?


d293e6 No.13902470

>>13902457

Depends, if you want a super easy game, the eastern roman empire, the sassanid due to large territories, armored troops and good economy bonus.

If you want medium challenge, the frank, the burgundian, the goths, basically the germanic factions.

If you want a hard challenge, the nordic faction, especially the saxon, the celts and the Western Roman Empire.

I never play the Huns and the niggers so I do not know about them.

Also, play the tutorial first!


ba91df No.13902483

I'll be excited when they learn to fucking optimize their garbage. CA lost all goodwill with me when they fucked up Rome 2. Not even from an optimization standpoint, but also the start of what feels like increasingly more dumbing down of the series. I really want to love Total War but in-between its demanding to squeeze my fucking wallet dry and the fact that it could less of a fuck if things run smoothly, CA can fuck off.

The eastern roman empire, the burgundian, the nordic all have shock two-handed axes units.

Shogun 2 Fall of the Samurai is sort of a mix between Napoleon line and shoot and medieval hack and slash combat, also try that sometimes.

I did beat the "fall of the samurai" campaign. It was alright still not better than NTW. Does the basegame for shogun 2 have any guns? I might play it if there are no guns at all and it's just swords and maybe bows. I think the mix of guns and swords doesn't play very well.


d293e6 No.13902613

>>13902606

Vanilla Shogun 2 has matchlock units, basically the handcannoner in medieval 2, a very small part of the game.

The Shimazu has a special gunner unit that can knock people back, super OP.

Rise of the Samurai has no guns, though it lacks variety.

I guess as long as you're pirating it, no harm done. But, if you've played the original Total Wars, you know you could always unlock all factions from inside the game. So, even if you don't get into battles enough for the inferior engine to phase you, you'd still suffer from major battered housewife syndrome just for tolerating the nickel and dime bullshit and the $8 price tag for unlocking factions.

>Been done better and more diverse, not a rock paper scissors style of combat.

Attila doesn't have rock paper scissor style combat farm, it's like Medieval 2 where cavalry can beat spearman depending on where they charge, and shock infantries can get beaten by spearmn if they get charged.

>That apparently was just a bug in Med 2 and the whole point of TW isn't to have gsg style interlocking empires but instead to use diplomacy so you aren't getting raped from all sides at the same time.

The grand strategy part is not for show in Attila, you can actually have a 8 turn of peace due to the honor and trustworthy system (if a faction just decides to break peace treaty, they can but it makes everyone dislike them).

>naval shit, all of it

It's not all bad, really, but yeah I just skip naval shit if I can.

Wrong, collision matters in Attila, slam a unit in spaghetti line will net in more kill than in a square line.

>bloated to fuck

Except it does, constant Huns raid, the ability to raze a settlement, climate change. It really does feel apocalyptic when the Huns capture one of your city and raze it to the fucking ground, destroy hundreds of turn investment into it.

>was just a shitty redone BI

It's an expanded BI farm, I don't think I can play BI now that Attila exists.

>jewing it out as a new game instead of a much cheaper expack like the game it's trying to be

Attila scope is Rome 2-tier and deserves to be its own game.

>2 bong bucks for blood

Been like this since Shogun 2 already, there's an excuse for this because of the germans.

>10 bong bucks for a single campaign, 6 for a culture pack

That means it's kinda cheap compared to actual expansions in that past that cost $20 or $35, Age of Charlesmagne is worth more than $10.

>fucking over the people who bought Rome 2 by taking the most fixed version and putting it behind a £45 price tag

Rome 2 is still being fixed atm, Attila is a different beast.

>cluttered fucking unit cards

True with Rome 2, not with Attila.

>not being able to have armies without generals

This is a problem yes, I agree, but it's done to prevent spammable captain army.

So it's not RPS then considering RPS means hard counter without nuance, also, you can't charge archer into infantry's flank and expect a win.

>First of, don't you fucking ever dare to even slightly call Atilla a gsg or I will just crown you the King of retards right here right now. And wow diplomacy works the exact fucking same but with a few new modifiers

Except it fucking works unlike Medieval 2, you can have long lasting peace.

>Double wrong fucker, there is zero collision in the warscape engine. It's all coded to make it seem like there is because the engine was designed for musket combat

But there is collision in Attila, even the goddamn animation matters (see javelin precursor vs axe precursor), you can literally see it when you slam cavalry into infantry.

>It runs like dog shit most of the time due to being a poorly optimized piece of bloated shit

Not anymreo.

>Oh wow they were able to make it slightly better in a few very small parts with a a budget which was most likely 10 times as large and 10 years worth of tech, 8/8 gr8 m8

Attila on its own is much bigger than BI though, all the expacs make it into a full length TW titles now.

>If they're going to re-use all of the same assets then have the audacity to charge me the same price then they're cunts, no ifs ands or buts

They re-use some voice works, man, all the other contents are new.

>And I would say pirate Shogun 2 for its shitty DLC practice and don't ever try to excuse a company charging for something which could have been just disabled for the Kraut version

Isn't that just bad for the kraut though?

>Kingdoms was in no way pricey for being 4 campaigns in 1 package which I got for £20 new.

Kingdoms is much shorter than say, Age of Charlesmagne though.

>The culture packs however were content held to ransom for a total cost of £30 if I want to play the game fully

True it's a shit deal, but nowadays CA has opened to FLC where they just update the faction with no cost.

>Atilla came out in a better condition that Rome 2 was in at the time, now tell me how that wasn't CA going "Fuck you got mine"

And CA actually pays for it since Attila sold less than Rome 2 despite being a more solid game.

>How was it a problem?

Stack of doom, m8, you can still do this in Attila but there is only a limit amount of armies you can muster.

So it's not hard counter then considering equipment matters, morale matter, who charges first matter.

>Again, Med 2's diplomacy was due to a bug because of one line of script, fix the script and enjoy Attila level diplomacy for the low low price of being a good game :^)

Well, diplomacy is huge in TW game (unless you want to auto-resolve battles again and again), so Attila having workable diplomacy is a boon.

>Coding to make it look like it's happening, the engine can't handle proper collision

But it can though, you can see it in the vid in this thread.

>So you're saying for me make attila into a full TW title I have to spend almost £100? Wow what a bargain

It's a shame they haven't made a full compilation of Attila, but maybe there's still an expansion for it.

>Hahahaha, you're telling me that a company which wants to make as much money as possible didn't reuse assets? For that I crown you King of the Retards

Most of the contents in Attila are new though, with SOME reused assets.

>No you retard, they're never allowed blood in their games. They can't buy that DLC, so it's bad for EVERYONE else 'cept CA of course ;^)

This is bad I must say, but at least it's cheap, and if there is a complete edition, blood is in it.

>Think about that one again

Kingdoms is 4 small campaigns, Age of Charlesmagne is a new grand campaign that stretches over Europe with 100% new units and events.

>Stacks of doom I can deal with, having to only have a couple of armies out on campaign because I need the rest of my generals to guard the homefront? That shit pisses me off

You can muster more armies if you conquer more territories and get bigger, it's logical.

>1v1 it's a hard counter, using actual tactics mitigates it

It's not just tactics, equipment, morale and formation also come into play, so it's not a RPS system.

>It was a tiny part to make sure you weren't about to be gangbanged, nothing else as TW is all about the battles that's why it's not a gsg

Uh, diplomacy also gives you money, and money is how you buy troops, so I think it's 1/3 of the game. It doesn't even need to be a GSG in order to have a diplomacy.

>I again say coding to make it SEEM like it's happening. Code can't make up for engine limitations and when you provide me with collision in older games don't then take it away from me

But it does have collision, unit get knockbacked when they get charged and cannot fight, if you spread your unit, you kill more by having having more area.

>Holding content behind pay walls while still charging full price for an expack is never good

For your record, Age of Charlesmagne costs less than a full expac despite having full expac-tier content.

>Again, you're King of the Retards

But what I say it's true.

>That's 4 new campaigns with all new factions all with new troops so I'm going to just say 400% more content for the same price as two campaigns

Only the America has totally new factions with new troops, Teutonic, Britannia and Crusades didn't have fully new factions nor new troops, while Age of Charlesmagne is actually fully new with everything rebalanced.

>No what is logical is that you don't need a guy with magical abilities who is the only one who can take people outside a town

Historically, generals lead campaigns, armies just don't randomly march off the gate with a captain.

The Roman empire sues for peace and give me 10000-20000, m8, it's not pocket change.

>I'm talking about the culture packs fam, and the Goldman dlc is the only one worthy of its price tag

The culture packs are indeed pricy, I cannot defend them.

>So they build up an almost entirely new game within 2 years? Without using massive amounts of old assets?

They modify them, famalam, but you wouldn't be seeing Rome 2 units in Attila.

>New factions: 6 in America, 4 in Britain, 2 in Crusades, 2/3 Teutonic. All of them have unique units. All for the low price of £20 new.

While Age of Charlesmagne has 6 new factions with completely new army and costs less than $20 (or so I remember).

>Generals lead campaigns, captains were sent out to deal with homefront defense. I can only use my generals to do both.

Technically you have town garrisons for that though, and town garrison can indeed support your generals. I just don't see how historically a captain can be mustered and move outside of his camp for military campaign without a general's order.

It's to help to avoid battles altogether and give you money in order to buy more units, and money is half of the games so I say yes.

>You say modify I say reuse, just because you throw a different colour of paint on your house doesn't mean you made a new house

If you modify your house and throw in a new coat of paint, it becomes a new house.

But Age of Charlesmagne has all new units, all new events, it's almost like Fall of the Samurai in scope.

Yes, it improved and mostly fixed everything wrong with rome 2, especialy the atrocious UI that made the campaign map a torture session, in attila it is actualy fun to manage your provinces. The tone is much darker than in rome 2, wich helps a lot, i prsonaly hated how they tried to make everything sparkly in rome 2, it was like it was the first time the devs found out about occlusion and bloom effects and decided to shove it into EVERYTHING, it was hard to play the game for more than a few dozen minutes without your eyeballs bleeding and you suffering an aneurism. Attila has a more contained campaign and there is a sense of "rushing against time" to do things properly because by turn 30 you are hit in the face with a shitton of calamities that make the game interesting and hard, famines, plague, hordes of huns, diplomacy breaking down as the world literaly grows poorer and more desperate. Planning is actualy require unlike in rome 2 or previous TW titles were after you got a good army you could basicaly steamroll everything forever.
