they said at least the reason that all duel challenges were accepted is cause the option is only there when they would accept it, otherwise it just doesnt show up

Catsplosion posted:Booked a week off so I could settle in and play this heavily for a few days. Literally the only game I was looking forward to this year, even if the release was going to be a hot mess as per usual and now it's pushed back again. Now you have a week off to go outside, explore the world, exercise and be social. My condolences

Plan Z posted:-The duel challenges seem wonky. The AI never seems to refuse them so you could possibly job them pretty easily. Some lords in videos one-shotted others, though that may have been for journalist plebs. That, and it feels like you're walking into a problem by not bringing in a combat lord to every battle in case the AI wants to challenge you. As far as AI challenges to the player, your characters have an 'auto-decline duels' button toggle which to me doesn't make sense unless you take no morale penalty for declining challenges, and if by 'a combat lord' you mean a 1v1 specialist (champions in Three Kingdoms) they're supposed to be weaker against enemy units than vanguards (optimized vs. units instead of 1v1); the analogy I've used has been watching said livestream where the dev tried to pursue an AI strategist that was seemingly too close to the front only for the dev's pursuing champion and faction leader (a commander) to end up blocked by and losing a bunch of health to AI infantry. P.S. It's... it's Lü Bu! https://twitter.com/totalwar/status/1095336725633736704

Alt Right dipshit Arch Warhammer thinks the delay is due to China censoring the game for depicting China as divided, for promoting feminism, and for having characters in revolt of the government.

Without watching the video because gently caress that noise, he probably heard the anecdote of why Hearts of Iron 2 was banned in China and didn't understand the difference between the eras and the different political optics and, you know, the fact it's only an apocryphal story I see on the internet that I haven't really seen backed up by facts. I also could have ended that sentence at "he didn't understand" and it would be just as accurate.

That's what I figured too, but confusing the warlord era (circa 1930s) and the three kingdoms era (circa 3rd century AD) is a critical failure to do any kind of research at all. Literally the only thing they have in common is "a time period when China was not united". And like... there's a lot of those. If anything I wouldn't be surprised if Three Kingdoms is the most popular TW game in China by far when it's released.

Grand Prize Winner posted:Is Turin ok? I really like watching his multiplay videos because my connection's too unreliable to let me do multi. I like him. He's kind of laid back and fun-loving, imo probably the best at live casting, seems weirdly well-adjusted for being a full-time YouTuber/Warhammer fan, apparently former jock turned turbo nerd who doesn't seem to have issues with women or other races. He endlessly references Lord of the Rings and Star Wars and has his own silly slang for different units. The Blessed Legion of Phakth he hilariously calls "the blessed legion of demonitization" I think because Phakth sounds like "gently caress" according to YouTube filters and can demonitize your videos or something?

That doesn’t make sense as the game has always been that. Plus China is fine with depictions of China being divided in the pre modern era. It’s only up to WW2 where they get a little uncomfortable.

Oh yeah I forgot about Arch Warhammer's lore videos where he's so obsessed with 40k minutiae he insisted on refusing to talk about the first war for Armageddon because in the lore that conflict was covered up by the historians after the planets population was genocided. And now that I looked that video up to laugh at his obnoxiousness, I'm getting recommended videos from him where he's screaming about feminists ruining 40K because the website Bell of Lost Souls gave a "feminazi" a platform to talk about problematic issues with Warhammer.

Archaeology Hat posted:What? Lore in a minute. 3 wars have been fought on Armageddon in 40k. The first war was a demonic invasion. The imperium won, but the Inquisition didn't want the public to know about Chaos, so they exterminated the population to cover up the war. The second and third wars were against Orks. ArchWarhammer made a lore series about the third war except he kept making really annoying asides insisting it was the "second war what chaos invasion?" like he was being some coy know-it-all and arbitrator of the Canon. My point is he's annoying and keeps injecting his own nonsense and declaring it gospel, when he's not screeching about the sjews ruining his fascist power fantasy. Just apply the same thing to Total War and the kind of fascist thought that comes with a lot of chud-y armchair military historians.

Hentai Jihadist posted:It's a shame this game will likely be bad and I will preorder it anyway ol Darth Mod guy is about to come full circle, just posted pics of a combined land and sea battle game set in the era of age of sail. Looks like a mixture of Empire TW and his Ultimate General Civil War game. He started making terrible mods for Empire and many subsequent total war titles, then split to make his own games. His last title UG Civil War is legit great. It makes some compromises on the grand strategy level, but the AI can actually handle itself. The battles in it are legit 5-10x the sizes of TW game. The graphical fidelity is reduced, but it has a nice style, and I never zoom in anyway in TW.

His mods weren't terrible, but he got a lot of angry reactions from places like TWC for adding extraneous star wars art to his work, like making advisor lady into princess Leia. Even so, I'd highly recommend Darth Mod for Napoleon because it makes the game so much more fun. Then he got mad that he thought he was snubbed by CA for some modders event, said screw you guys, and went off to make ultimate general.

Which is why I didn't book it off when it was initially announced. I knew the first date would be pushed back. Wasn't expecting that to be the case with the second date. I need to use that holiday before the end of April anyway so it's not waste, just a shame that it got pushed again. Come to think of it i might actually get around to completing my second run of persona 5. Hopefully we get the WH2 DLC a bit earlier with the pushed date as I've played both WH1 and 2 to death now.

Same except I was given a computer as a gift recently but I’ll still have to wait at least a year because I can’t afford $60 games and even if I could, only a madman would buy a TW game right at launch I’ll do what I did with Attila and should have done with Rome 2 and buy some kinda gold edition in the distant future. Unless it turns out to be super good but I’m not too optimistic

So they have just posted a classic mode battle on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fD1rzvghxc Only comment I am going to make right now is I do like how you can see where a unit was wiped out by the flags left on the battlefield.

Looks neat. I like the idea of having multiple officers with their own sort of squads to watch over after seeing this. There's a lot of other stuff I like, but this has me much more hopeful about Records Mode. Also noticed no raze option once the battle was over.
