>Hype

>That spacing

I loved Total WaWa and this has shill written all over it.

Repostan an old classic:

>Playing as France in Medieval 2

>In zeal to conquer nations, neglect completely any diplomacy options

>Soon have nation which has swallowed up all of the United Kingdom, Spain, pretty much most of Europe and steadily approaching North Africa, the East

>Princess, Martine gets long in the tooth, early 30's, unmarried, beyond an old maid in this time

>Girl is completely charmless but also totally full of herself. Gets turned down by numerous suitors, gets the label "Martine the Man hunter"

>There's also nasty rumors about her being a slut. One of her negative attributes is she still carries a flame for an old crush

>Give up hope of her ever finding a mate

>Along comes Lorentienne, a "Bill Dauterive" lookalike in his late 30's who's head over heels for Martine

>Don't care what his stats say, if he wants to marry my daughter, fucking let him

>Poor schlub joins my faction, eventually gets branded Lorentienne the cuck

>Townspeople whisper constantly about his wife's many affairs.

>Later dies in war, but not before "fathering" a son.

>Fathering is in quotes because the boy looks nothing like his father

This fucking game, man. I swear.

Why should anyone care about a shitty commie island?

These dubs dictate that dastardly digits will determine the depth of this thread.

>>14264914

>>14264854

Well ok, if it'll contain your autism. Who here is interested in the new game? Who here wants to play it? Is that neutral enough for you?

Fucking Jesus, getting so you can't even bring up a game here anymore without getting accused of shilling.

>Total War

>Good

Get out of here, shill.

>>14264849

>hype

Next you'll ask if anyone here is preordering.

Why don't you take your shitty shilling somewhere else?

>>14264921

It's not that you brought up this game, it's that you did it in the most unnatural way possible. We can tell you have no idea what you're doing here. Either go back to where you came from or give whoever hired you a refund.

>>14264909

I keep hearing good things about this game. How would you rank it? Is it better than Medieval 2?

>>14265066

I thought SEGA were the jews in this relationship? What's CA done?

>>14265132

sega might be behind denuvo but CA is behind cutting WaWa up and selling it to you bit by bit.

More related to the thread, I wonder why they went for a game set in this time period and specific area. Are they going to release another medieval installment? As much as I love MTW2, you learn its quirks and bugs in and out and it isn't really fun when you all you do to win is press at the seams until the game breaks.

>>14264963

how about you get out of here golem?

yeah I was wondering where the total war thread was too. I usually like playing Rome 1 and Medieval 2 the most, mostly the Barbarian expansion for the former

>>14264879

Adding to this one, after Lorentienne's death apparently Martine, through a combination of guilt and/or realizing she actually loved the guy, becomes a miserable wreck, mourning his loss, never marrying again and dying an old widow.

>>14266361

Which part of early Anglo-Saxon art looked like a children's cartoon?

>>14266373

I'll admit I don't know much about art in that region or time period but it looks pretty damn similar to stuff i've seen in manuscripts, art, and stained glass from medieval Europe to me

>>14266501

Fucking weird seeing a nearby town's church getting posted on /v/

On topic however it seems like they're fucking with the recruitment system in thrones of Britannia making it much more expensive to recruit and making the focus more on replenishment and manpower pools.

>>14264849

>yet another dark ages UK

>after they've already done it twice now

They really should have picked another period like the Italian Wars

>>14265358

if you like gunpowder, Napoleon and LME is top tier

>>14266551

We'll see if that deals with the post-Rome 2 issue of full stacks everywhere

>>14266769

>They really should have picked another period like the Italian Wars

That's really not that much different from the other european ones either. If you want something really different, do:

>Mesoamerica either during the Classic period with the Maya, Teotihuacan, Zapotec, etc; or during the Postclassic with the Aztec, Purepecha, Mixtec, etc

>Bronze Age Mesopotama/Mediterranean; Hittites, Mycenaean/Minoan greece, egypt, etc

>Andes; either during the rise of the Inca before they conquered the Chimu and shit, or around 700-900 AD with the Moche, Wari, Tiwanaku etc

>Southeast Asia during the middle ages; Khmer, Sukhothai, Majapahit, etc

> Peloponnesian Wars

These are the only good ones I can think of, though, that haven't been done yet.

>>14266884

>pike&shot

This would be interesting but probably somewhat difficult to implement due to the mixed units of that period

Difficult enough that CA wouldn't do it at least

>>14266907

Werent the spaniards the only ones using mixed units hence their great sucess on italy?

>>14264849

helo OP i am to reddit 2 i preorder game yes veryy good nice

>>14266916

pretty sure almost everyone did it after they thrashed the french in Italy. That said, Shogun 2 warfare in reality should appear a lot more like pike and shot tactics than what it actually is in the game

>Still no fucking Imgin War game

maybe after 3 kangdomz

>>14266492

>dat artwork

[ROUNDABOUT'ING INTENSIFIES]

>>14264849

Eat shit and die

>>14266917

well I fucking hope they are willing to, since they'd need to do that to get a mesoamerican or andean setting to work as well given the lack of calvery and siege weapons being less common.

>>14270495

>got 5's

>didn't call for 5's

you fucked up anon

Would you like to see britannia rule again?

My friend?

>>14270536

>Would you like to see britannia rule again?

>take over 1/4th of the planet, treat everyone like shit, lose a bunch of civil wars, give it all back and become a pathetic shadow of your former self flooded by ingrates from your former colonies

No.

>>14270536

Would you like to send our colored cousins

Home again, my friend?

>>14270546

Nice job missing the reference.

>>14270546

Shame on you for not getting it

>>14270601

As punishment you must listen to the wall in it's entirety 3 times,having the first song loop from the last

I wanna play empire, what are the essential mods recommended to get a full experience?

Britain is full of fucking kikes, no wonder noone cares about the game.

>>14272110

don't

if you want Empire experience, play Napoleon

>>14272144

But i wanna fight for the caribbean.

>>14264849

Oh boy, the CA shill is back. Guess he got tired of shilling Warhammer Fantasy.

>>14272188

then probably darthmod, I think he's the only person who really mucked about with Empire that much

>>14272268

Attila turned out pretty good, though they had a different team than Rome 2

and the WaWa games are simplified but fun, but never at full price

>>14270484

>CA

>actually giving enough of a shit to make a good game

What year did you time travel from? When Medieval 2 got released?

Ah, it's the TW atilla shill who keeps trying to sell CA's latest fuck-ups. Haven't seen you around lately, did you take a vacation?
