For realistic army growing, now when you recruit a unit, they start as 1/3 strength and gradually from there.
Estates are literally properties your kings achieve some times and can give bonus/gift to vassals/generals to maintain their loyalty.
Generals have way more attributes and shit and serve the general roles of agents, except they can't assassinate of course.
They shoulda add general dueling somehow.

Campaign-wise, it's pretty decent.
It had a lot of nice details that didn't carry over to M2, which is a shame.
Battle-wise, it is complete ass and controls terribly.
>>14783492
So replenishment is still in the game and generals have some usefulness that they used to have in M2/R1 (probably improve public order and spread their religion/culture faster).
Not sure about the loyalty thing, but vassals were always largely useless, so it's probably not important.
CA is going to have to do better than that.

Doesn't sound like a new mechanic. Instead of getting a unit at 100% when you recruit it, you get it at 33% like after a battle. Nothing new.
>Estates are literally properties your kings achieve some times and can give bonus/gift to vassals/generals to maintain their loyalty.
So instead of spending influence and marrying daughters to maintain loyalty, I will now be spending estates. Doesn't sound much different.
Rather than this low effort shilling, tell me whether they've finally fixed their engine so that it isn't "watch the battle become 1000 independent duels with long-ass animations"?

Agents were the most retarded cancer to plague Total War. They were nothing but clutter that did nothing useful except be a nuisance.

Still a bit buggy, but it has come a long, long way since then.
Crashes are minimal (I still recommend quicksaving often) and the game is very rich in content compared to the bare bones of the first version.
The only serious bugs that I noticed were when I was trying to take the last town of a faction that could turn into a horde.
My entire army would simply die if I backed off or retreated from the battle, the game would fail to create the horde after taking the town, thus softlocking or it would outright crash after the battle.
It took a few tries, but I managed to get it to work and if I remember well, you must not have any reinforcements helping your main army or have any friendly units standing next to it.
I haven't found any other issues.
My only complaint would be about the allied governments increasing rebel culture instead of your own which is stupid as fuck and only makes them worth keeping for a very, very short time.
Otherwise it's a 10/10 mod.

Completely different studio. Australian CA died back in 2008 which is why you end up having to compare a very good expansion to otherwise garbage because the people that knew what they were doing were all fired. Remember that it was CA UK that chose to remove CA AU from Empire's development, and so CA AU had to justify their existence by making a peice of shit console RTS because CA UK forced them to otherwise they would've all been fired after Kingdoms.

As someone that could play MTW2 on launch I can tell that the game-play was completely broken as well. The only solution to balance your economy was to never built anything above level 3 (out of 5), if there was a hard mathematical impossibly (buildings creating more unrest than you could ever compensate with order bonuses) and you would have constant rebellions. Which you could perfectly ignore since they couldn't beat normal garrisons on auto-resolve…

Warhammer is inspired by LOTR, but it's not a rip-off, Warhammer rips off real life aesthetics and mix it with fantasy.

The problem is that GW pushed the relatively normal stuff to the front over time. There is some weird stuff in there. CA actually did a good job of digging up old concepts for WaWa, like the Fimir.

The Chaos/Order axis is a Moorcock concept. Go too far towards Chaos and you get "lolrandumb everything is in flux all the time", go too far towards Order and you get complete stasis.
The Chaos Gods and daemons just represent concepts, they are technically not individual entities with their own free will like real life mythological demons. There is this kickass line in the Fabius Bile book (Bile is basically the only guy in 40K who still 100% believes in the Imperial Creed):

In some aspects is much more deep than 40k and that comes from someone that prefers 40k.
For example, GW didnt really expand on bretonnia, kislev, tilea, estalia, the border princes and all other human factions, while the warhammer fantasy RPG is responsible for most bretonnia lore, and te same with the other human factions and many things about the world including lustria.

Dint forget that in 40k all of the warp is literal mememagic, since its just a refelction of what people in the material realm think and feel.
