So they have just posted a video showing what it looks like when the period of The Three Kingdoms truly kicks off.

Looks fun. I like that the AI relocates it’s capital when it declares and that there’s a handful of ways for those titles to change. Should make for some good variety in multiple playthroughs. Also like in this case it can break up larger alliances pretty well.

Definitely sounds like a better mechanic than the Shogun 2 realm divide

I am curious if you get a free capital move once the period kicks off or should you keep at least 10k (the cost to relocate a capital) in the bank so that you can quickly relocate your capital if it looks like someone else will beat you to the punch.

I wonder if Cao Cao will have a negative trait that breaks up said sort of marriages too?

Attila Total War question: I'm playing a game as the Eastern Roman Empire so that I can abuse its 5% treasury interest mechanic, which has been a lot of fun, essentially getting paid to turtle. A very different, nice experience compared to the usual Total War game. But despite me breaking my alliance with the Western Roman Empire on turn 1 and providing no material support, they are still doing remarkably well 50+ turns in. They've lost Britain, but otherwise hold all their territory and have even taken a province from the Franks. This is supposed to be a game about Rome falling, but Rome won't fall. I've looked at the various overhaul mods out there--Radious, XAI, etc. Do any of them improve the AI / make it aggressive enough to actually kill off the WRE?

Plan Z posted:Unironically proud of TW community for shouting down the guys mad about women in Rome II, then a few months later focusing on freaking out over the latest GoT episode. ??? ?? It's a really bad episode from the specific perspective of deployment and tactics. I think the stuff I saw from total war YTbers focused entirely on battle commentary. Indiepride had a pretty good video on it with zero objectionable/chud poo poo at all.

Hmm. The only thing I can think of is that I aggressively hunted down all the hordes coming across my territory. Maybe I stemmed the tide enough for them to survive? Doesn't explain keeping Gaul though. Or North Africa. Maybe the difficulty? I was playing on normal, I don't know if that affects AI on AI aggressiveness. I might just need to restart then.

How far into the game are you? It can sometimes take a while for the ai to really turn up the heat in the wre, usually while waiting for it to get a bunch of uprisings

Well I installed Radious mod and restarted, and now in 405 the WRE holds only a handful of cities across Italy and Hispania.  There must have been something in the AI that got stuck, damned if I know.

This popped up in my recommended and I liked it because he showed off close-ups of the battles much more than other channels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zezZpXBCv_4 Seems like a good channel deserving of a boosting, too.

I started trying to summarize my impression of the half dozen early campaign previews I have seen by various streamers by this point, but the best way to put it is this: there is a good chance you will spend as much time on the diplomatic screen in this game as you will be fighting battles.

As much as I love the battle improvements over the last few titles, the strategy layer of Rome 2, Shogun 2, and WH games has never grabbed me as much as the Rome/Medieval 2-era did. Watching the Three Kingdoms stuff, though, has shown that there's enough of a change that I think I'm amenable to and the new battle implementation of generals and customisation is something that looks super fun. That, and the game comes out at the end of semester for me, so it's just perfect timing.

Unless its different in attila the AI in TW operates at random so there is always the odd campaign where the ai decides to do nothing all game or only does stupid stuff all game.

To be fair part of that is diplomacy being a bit more or at least visibly deterministic -- as long as you can get the total out of the red/negative to green/at least +0.0 the AI will accept, so instead of just throwing up your hands and writing off diplomacy as bullshit you can consciously min-max agreements or even get the AI to accept outcomes that don't include their original request at all. EDIT: The 'Quick Deals' UI can also be useful because if any faction shows up as a Yes for the given agreement, they probably want it enough for the total to be greater than +0.0 so you may be able to get a little more out of them through the full negotiation UI.

It seems like you'll actually get rewarded for using diplomacy in this. In recent games, I only ever really opened the diplo menu to see if I could trade with anyone new because it just never seemed like anything else was worth pursuing. Nobody ever lets you vassalize them. I felt punished for having any allies whatsoever. Anyone I ever got an NAP with would raid me or send agents to gently caress with me (no penalty for it of course). I confederated a lot in Warhammer, but it was rare in other games that had it. In Empire/Napoleon, I loved trading regions and technology and all of that stuff. Rarely touched it in Rome I, used it a fair bit in Med 2. Another thing that took me out of games were if menus felt bad. Like lots of mushy buttons, or getting frame drops before windows would load. As simple as they are, I love Rome and Med 2's menus because they were so clicky and quick.

Indiepride had a pretty good video on it with zero objectionable/chud poo poo at all. Wasn't doing the "oooooh so glaaaaad" sarcastic thing, those parts of the episode were infuriating. Just like that the shitheads of the TW community are entirely relegated to the TW Center forums and even the Reddit has a low bullshit tolerance. Also cool that Indey got a big-rear end boost after Kotaku shared the video. I'm unreasonably excited for 3K. These extra few months look like they've been good for the game.

Assuming you mean pre-firearms then no, I've not heard of this happening anywhere else though I'd love to hear otherwise.

I mean it makes sense to cycle your frontline, otherwise the front ranks will suffer 100% casualties in a fight every time unless you managed to rout the enemy quickly. Romans cycling your lines means legionaries fight for five minutes or so and then get a forty minute break at the back of the line. Fresh bodies to then grind down the opposition until they break.

Zerkovich did a partial unit roster video when they got the mini preview build a couple of weeks back. I don’t know that it was comprehensive of all the base units, though, and I don’t know that it included any of the faction specific units.

Plan Z posted:This popped up in my recommended and I liked it because he showed off close-ups of the battles much more than other channels: its still kinda weird that the armies are so small. the models for the basic troops look super simple compared to warhammer and there is almost no visual diversity within a unit at all which seems like stuff you would do to enable larger battles without framerate drops. since the battles look the same size if not a little smaller than warhammer it just kinda looks... a bit bad? in battles up close I mean. a thousand men in loose formation running into eachother isnt really what im thinking of when I think Three Kingdoms battles everyone in this tv show is constantly being like "oops i lost 100,000 men in an ambush" i'm obviously not expecting that but with those very basic looking graphics im pretty sure the engine can handle at least twice as many men per unit/twice as many units in an army. the biggest battle in that stream seems to only be 2000 vs 3500 which is a pretty small fight by warhammer standards i'd like to know their thinking on it, anyone know if they've addressed it? i guess i'll have to quickly learn to mod unit sizes, surely that cant be too hard? i remember playing an attila mod i think that made each battle like 10000 men v 10000 men and it worked pretty well but my computer caught fire if the enemies brought reinforcements
