There's no way to get a military access treaty as a horde is there? I can't even find a table to mod it into the game with. e: In Attila Funky See Funky Do fucked around with this message at 09:41 on Oct 10, 2016 |

It is, yeah. Plus I really didn't enjoy the minicampaign at all, felt rushed and less interesting than the grand campaign. Beastmen as a faction on the GC are super fun though

Beastmen are very, very fun to play if you've already played and are good at the normal game. The horde mechanics are proper, you're not really supposed to do much/any politicking, and perhaps most importantly the units are cool and good. Of course, you'll miss the ability to poo poo out full-sized armies left and right, knowing half of them won't come back home.

The best was taking all your priests and sending 'em on a tour of North Africa to start stackin' the papacy. Then you get the theologians guild buildings and pump out so many cardinals that no one else gets into the Collegia. Danish popes forever!

Blooming Brilliant posted:I've been wanting a 19th century China TW game or at least a mod for a while now, feels there's enough stuff and variety with the Taiping Rebellion and the Opium Wars for some cool factions and armies. For example, Qing Tiger Men. That looks amazing. Total War: China would be pretty fantastic, if they could pull it off. There's so much possibility there, it's almost overwhelming. I've been listening to Mike Duncan's Revolutions history podcast recently, and his coverage of the Haitian Revolution keeps reminding me of what a great Total War game it could be. You've got all these different factions, both foreign (French, British, Spanish, American) and domestic (Blacks, Whites, Coloreds, and lots of different combinations thereof under different leaders). You've got an island that is split into four or five distinct zones with unique geography and culture - endless cane fields, rugged mountains, extremely wealthy and European cities, and even Spanish hinterlands. There's a wide variety of different weapons and units possible, from machete-wielding slaves and veteran Maroon rebels, to Polish conscripts and British Redcoats. And to top it off, you've got tons of external influences and events going on - the French Revolution, economic and political changes in America and the Caribbean, the rise of Napoleon, on and off war with Britain, and of course the annual trauma of Yellow Fever. There's just so much material available. Of course the biggest problem is that not many people are familiar with Haitian history, or are interested in playing a game about it. But Total War: Caribbean would be so cool.

Back in the days of Civ2 there were a lot of fantastic modded scenarios, and one of the best was a Toussaint L'ouverture one.

You need to go to a brick and mortar Games Workshop and ask for a code, they'll give you one for a legendary lord (Grombrindal the White Dwarf) and one for 20% off Total Warhammer

The newest Warhammer DLC was just announced and with it, news that the next, unannounced historical TW won't be a retread: quote:We've known that Creative Assembly has been working on a new historical Total War game for a while now, but many had assumed the studio would be returning to a familiar setting. It's been 10 years since Medieval II: Total War. Just saying. It's also mentioned that each faction having a very unique feel and playstyle, as in Warhammer, is something they're looking to carry forwards into the historical games. Somehow.

SeanBeansShako posted:This, Asia or the mid to late 19th century please. The medieval kingdoms mod for Attila is good but I would like to see a new campaign. Now that they've got a much better optimized warscape engine for Warhammer I'd love to see them tackle larger scale combat since an historical total war wouldn't need as many unit skeletons.

I'm sure we'll get another Medieval one at some point, but I wonder if they're thinking Warhammer might step on its toes a bit if it came out at the moment.Arcsquad12 posted:30 years war please. yes, unique factions, such as one side with pike blocks, facing their varied opponent of the other side with pike blocks.

It would be kind of neat if they mixed things up and evolved formations from the more linear to the company/platoon flexibility of the 20th century.CharlestheHammer posted:All I want is an interesting TW, why they got to play me like this.

it's probably going to be like "we've done Medieval total war twice and we promised we wouldn't do a third version of the same game so instead of making another game based on high medieval period we're bringing you Total War. Late Medieval Period!!!

What about an ancient civilization one focused in the fertile crescent? Egypt, babylon, sumerians? I'm struggling to think of another history period they have not done other than China's warring states period. People mentioned WW1, but I always thought that would be super impractical with an engine focused on rank and file battles and cohesive units movement.

It'd be cool to see a Total War-style WW1 game, but yeah it absolutely wouldn't work by just taking the existing TW system and slapping a Pickelhaube on everyone. The TW engine is pretty firmly limited to time periods where rank-and-file formation fighting was the standard

I feel like that would be too broad a period to do it any respect. Traditionally the more modern settings take place in a shorter timeframe, which I can appreciate.
