I'm in the mood for some Total War, but I'm not sure which to play.

I have Rome, Me2, Shogun 2( and FOTS), Attila, Rome 2, both total warhammers, and thrones of Britannia. I only bought Me2 and Shogun 2, the rest are pirated.

Which game and faction should I play, and what should my playstyle be and what goals should I have?

Additionally, why the fuck would you ever use archers in any TW game?

If you are not making meme armies you should always go for historically accurate compositions

But having archers is literally worse than just having less units in my experience. I'd rather have a say, 17 stack and it be cheaper than a 20 stack with 3 archers. That's money per turn I get no return from.

About that mod, I don't have the time to download it now. I might try tomorrow. Something vanilla would be preferable for now.

Stop your min/max austim and immerse yourself, it`s more fun this way. It also makes the game harder since the awful AI doesn`t have to deal with your optimal army. Now for what game to play, pick one that has modern automatic unit replenishment but you are not allowed to use that: After each battle you have to merge all units of the same type and if the model count is lower than a certain number you have to disband said unit. create extra generals for supply lines management

Maybe Shogun 2 vanilla as the chocobos or whatever the bowniggers were?

After pirating ~~the Slav's Last Crack until he gets gulag'd~~ Total War Thrones of Britannia, I have played little other than Total War Attila because ToB is a downgraded Attila with better graphics in almost all regards

Question about merging; Does it work like two glasses of water or does it just destroy the slave unit?

e.g. cap is 120, units have 100 and 40 men in them. Merge 40 into 100 and you now have either a 120, or a 120 and a 20. Which is it?

Also, what's the threshhold for disbanding? I was thinking 75%.

Did atilla have the "do thing to unlock tech" thing? Because that was a change I actually liked from earlier ones. Nothing else seemed positive.

Play Medieval 2, especially with mods.

Works like two glasses of water yes, you never lose models on merging. Regarding the threshold it`s your game mate play the way you want. I suggested that after using a mod for wawa1 that nerfed replenishment to like 1% of the normal value, you had to play the game like a real army by saving elite units to the last minute and throwing fodder to the meat grind. Taking enemy territory was very engaging since even losing 20% of your army meant you probably didn`t have enough to take a walled major settlement with a single army stack. You actually had to push your economy to the limit for those extra units or manage supply lines bringing reinforcements. It gave real depth to every decision instead of throwing stack against stack where only numbers matter.

I wonder if there's an equivalent for S2. That sounds neat.

Total war is heavily flawed, the AI isn't good and increasing difficulty doesn't make the game harder. Once you have enough provinces the game snowballs, you're unstoppable it's why I stopped my FOTS campaign. The fun came with the challenge of conquering evenly matched enemies, now that I'm unstoppable there's no fun, I've won battles with 10 or less deaths.

Archers are OP in Shogun 2.

What there is to even talk about regarding total war-games anymore? With the exception of Warhammers, they've been re-releasing the same game over and over again for the past half decade or so.

Europa Barbarorum mod, either for Rome or Medieval. I don't have a personal favourite, both are worth trying.
