I got a new computer and I've been enjoying the Empire campaign for Total WaWa. It's pretty enjoyable aside from the fact that I mistakenly got in a war with Wood Elves and they razed one of my cities, so I might end up restarting.
Are there any must-play mods for this game? Also, has Rome II gotten any new content that makes it good yet or is it still shitty?

Perhaps only a minority speak out about it, but the numbers are there. If you head over to the Total war Center forums there might be 20 people browsing the combined Warhammer 1 + 2 section whereas all the older games have far more people browsing. Medieval 2 and Rome almost always have hundreds browsing their subforums at once. Then look at the sales difference between the Warhammer games and the historical games and it doesn't seem to make sense. CA clearly aren't making the Warhammer games for Total War fans. I'm surprised they are even making this Britannia game since it's a waste of money compared to the cashcow Warhammer is.

Steel Faith is the best in my opinion. It's not overly intrusive like Radious. Most of the changes make sense logically and from a lore perspective. It even adds a new "Skaven in the sewers" mechanic.
Other than that there are a lot of good QoL mods like an improved camera and tweaks to the turn times that are good to have in general.

Perhaps is that i need to git gud, but playing Warhammer with Steel Faith mod (Plus others but not gameplay changing) and even when I play imperial or similar (like Estalia), sometimes its that even when the armies are the same size, for some reason, my troops loose health fast, and when clashing, the enemies troops blob during combat, while mine just lose the clash; Doesnt help that the enemies troops cant stop moving and changing position faster than I can. Not sure if im explaining this well, butthe games is many times too chaotic, and unless I have superior numbers, even when it shouldnt matter much, in the end I get overwhelmed.
Any advise that I should get?
90395d No.14011603
>>14011382
Well, your first problem seems to be your reliance on human melee troops- don't. The mission of a human soldier, excepting elites like greatswords, is to hold the line or support elites and heroes- the real damage dealers will be your arty, guns, and cavalry. If you have limited access or none at all then focus on getting a wizard, upgrade them with good buff abilities and at least one really good offensive spell, a good wizard can be a great support unit while also being as good as two artillery batteries.
One last thing; you should always have either your general or a hero accompanying your general that has a focus one being a badass in melee- this guy will be you big damage dealer in blob engagements and can also be used to engage enemy gens and heroes- if they can get a flying mount they will become a one man/elf/whatever storm of death.
You seem to have trouble keeping up with the AI's actions; this is something you'll just have to get good at eventually but until then I'd recommend using the slow down and pause features during battle so that you can have an easier time planning and reacting to the AI. Hope this helps you out.
d0152b No.14011692
>>14011603
Thanks for the advise. I only played before with vanilla dwarves in wawa1, that being shooty but with powerful and defensive troops; And played Lizardmen in wawa 2 plus Steel faith mod, who were melee centric with fast and also powerfull troops. So is with more squishy humans, I can see the difference. I already noted before the power of human ranged troopers, yes, but the reason that I used mostly melee troops was fear of being imbalanced, and the risk of being destroyed by melee troops form the enemy, especially in a game where the AI in general overrides you with shitload of troops. Perhaps should I do more ranged troops, right? Then it will try it.

I'm inclined to believe that if Kislev was the one who had declared war on an ally you would not have suffered a penalty, but because they declared war and you went with it it does (as you are after all, the aggressor in this situation). However I'm not 100% sure and its not something easily tested.
