The stainless steel mod for Medieval 2 is still epic to this day. CHeck it out if you want more total war.

What's your favorite faction to play?

If you're playing the von Carsteins faction like I am, here's some stuff I learned:

You can get Mannfred if you confederate him instead of annexing him. Do this by using your two vampire heroes, recruiting 2 dire wolves on the border of your province, and recruiting the rest of the zombies and skeles you can. With your 20 stack, you can fight and beat him. If you dominate his troops and have enough strength left over, he should be yellow to confederate.

Try this fun trick: form a group with Vlad's 5 fell bats and 3 vharghiests. Order the group to attack a separated unit. Watch the unit dissolve.

Also you can AoE heal with the vampire healing spell by clicking it twice. I'm a noob so I just learned this. Works with all spells, for different effects.

I have some Delay Chaos mod so the event trigger like 20-30 turns later because I'm a huge noob.

Chaos does come way too soon. Also once you beat it every faction gets the aggressive and untrustworthy trait lol.

Yeah, the chaos invasions are linked to your imperium level. They'll come at like turn 80 and 120 if you're not getting strong enough fast enough.

Vampires are my favorite, but I haven't played as Dwarves or Wood Elves yet. Chaos is really cool too but I like having cities better than the nomad horde thing.

I hope the standalone expansion they're working on now is the one that has Dark Elves :pray:

They're pitching the expansions as full games now, so be prepared to fork $60 for both.

From what I can tell people are angry about having to pay $60 for several new armies, new campaigns, a new continent, new skirmishes etc instead of paying $20 for each new army or w/e because the PC gaming community is 99% uptight brats

That said this is absolutely a way to charge $60 for what was probably originally a $20-$40 stand alone expansion like FotS
