TOTAL WAR STORIES/DISCUSSION THREAD

...

Kek, guess megalomania isn't for everybody.

Have you tried *snicker* diplomacy.

Like, partnering up with some allies across the pond. You might have to give up a few juicy properties for their assistance, but once you're strong enough and back on your feet, you can take them back. Be sure and get some tribute shekels out of the deal. Oh, and make sure the diplomat you send is the best of the best so you get the best deal possible.

If none are high enough, get their stats up by making small potato deals with your neighbors, easy stuff anybody would agree too, map info for map info for example. Trade deals, alliances.

You guys played Medieval 2. Because the Mongols show up about half, 3 quarters of the way through that campaign and holy shit are they fucking OP.

1/2

stellaris looks grand but its puddle deep. i was expecting at least ckii levels of depth and i guess it was but since there's no focus on characters/dynasties its just easy and boring. doesn't matter what race you pick since every game end up playing out the same

2/2

And now the Timurids are here, with elephant mounts. This should be fun

I thought that the Byzantines were literally retarded if you cap'd for them in that DLC

The battle AI in Warhammer is surprisingly good. It manages to pull off flanking attacks much better, at least.

On the campaign map, it can even set ambush traps.

Are there any other Total War players like Volound? Someone recommended Legend of Total War, but most of the battles he fights in have him outnumbering the enemy, while Volound usually takes on lopsided odds.

I don't post here often since I'm not that into vidya but is this game similair to Europa Universalis IV?
