Why do anglos think we care about their shitty island and history?

Even we don't.

why so mad?

If it's done well.
No one cares about that other island and its history, people still love Shogun games.

Yes I’m interested

Can't wait for vikings to fuck their shit up

>total war games are now directed by numales

wonder why they're so shit

maybe because you call us all "anglo's" you fucking uneducated savage.

>Can't wait for vikings to fuck their shit up

It was actually vikings fucking up other vikings.
Norman invasions happened during the Anglo-Saxon rule. Anglo-Saxons being Normans who had invaded the place about a 50 years prior.

Because Vikings is a really popular TV series world wide.

Why is he wearing some sort of gay pimp suit?

Northumbrians were Vikings?

>everyone loves shogun 2 where everyone is the same
>british isles at this period have a huge variety and cultural/religious crossovers

>english and vikangz are germanics who used to worship the same gods but one is now christian
>welsh and cornish are a natural ally being the same kin and religion, but separated by some water, mostly fighting the english, but also see english as christian allies against vikangz
>scots are their own weird thing, not quite the same as welsh and cornish but still make good allies and are fighting their own viking threat
>irish are closest to scots but again not the same thing and are themselves fighting their own viking threat on their own isolated island

That shitty show gets all the popularity while the superior show The Last Kingdom flies under the radar

>scaling down

Why? We all want larger and bigger maps encompassing more fucking territory, not smaller campaigns focusing on some shitty tribes.

I'm not saying it's good, just saying it's popular, thus people care about the Brit Isles during that time period.

>this whole post

I read the books and can't say I regret not watching the show

it was the exact same thing happening again and again every book. guy is conflicted between being an englishman and a heathen, ends up fighting for both sides, gets a new woman, woman ends up dying at the start of the next book so it can repeat yet again

Isn't that since Rome II?

The historical inaccuracy in Vikings made me drop it.
>every 2nd viking warrior is a woman for some reason
>every viking uses an axe
>no one except anglo-saxon goons wear helmets
And that's only the tip of the iceberg. The soundtrack by Wardruna was pretty cool though.

Anglo-Saxons weren't Normans, dumbass. Anglo Saxons are the combination of 2 different Germanic groups, the Angles and Saxons who didn't come from France.

what? do you not understand what they're saying? it's going to be incredibly detailed, it's literally going to be scaled up.

I'm glad CA is finally doing something that has been left to modders over the years and make incredibly detailed maps with lots of settlements.

Vikings are de-facto coastal pirates. So no.
The meaning people actually use, meaning Normans, definitely includes Northumbrians.
Only the Welsh kingdom was a Celtic holdout by the time, IIRC.

Weren't Normans a mix of Vikings and French at the Normandy though? As far as i know Northumbrians/Anglo-Saxons were germanics.

And then you have the Aztecs landing in Ireland!

Yeah the Normans were like Viking settlers who settled in Normandy and intermixed wth the French people there.

>it's another vee tries to weight into politics, economy or history and completely embarrass themselves

I'd be all up for that if that were to be the case, the issue is considering where CA has been going lately, I just don't see it. I don't think CA is going to go the opposite way and suddenly add more depth and complexity to their games when they've been stripping it for the last few iterations.

If they do, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Normans are from Denmark and associated territories. Angles and Saxons are the same.
The only difference is that the former settled on the French coast while the latter were brought in by the Romanic/Civilised Celts and then migrated there.

Practically speaking, they are the same people who settled in different lands for a while before both decided France sucks.

Will I be able to play as King Arthur Pendragon tho?

Wrong time period for her to be present, user.

but they literally say in the interview that the exact thing they're going for is to make a very detailed game by setting it in a smaller irl location but at a higher scale

>her

Back to Sup Forums with you.

I'm excited because I haven't played a total war since Shogun 2, and even then I didn't go too in depth. The history in this game is closer to me and more relatable so should be good

>her

does this look like a her to you user?

Nice, I love viking history. Time to rape the english people

speaking of British Isles Total War

how are the King Arthur games that are basically TW rip-offs with magic way before Warhammer came about

The Normans are different from the Angles who are different from the Saxons. Just because they have the same Germanic origin, doesn't mean that they are the same group of people.

>More anglowank

Empire is still the absolute best Total War

>East Anglia
>actually West Anglia according to that map

>Anglowank: Global Empire - CTD Edition

Time to play as the Welsh and crush the Vikings AND Anglo-Saxons

It's gonna be a 60 bucks (plus DLC) standalone expansion that reuses a shitton of assets and animations from Attila, and will either run just as bad, or be graphically downgraded.
And I'll probably fucking buy it.

I can't wait to play as the Anglo-Saxons and purge the island of Viking filth

I had more fun on Napoleon playing as the British. Artillery is so much better than on Empire.

The name comes from the areas settled by the Angles in Britannia, not from its location compared to the homeland. North Anglia was up near Lindisfarne, West Anglia was what eventually became Mercia and South Anglia was in the Fen swampland.

>convert the English back to the Old Gods and conquer everything

I'm not claiming (or at least, I'm not trying to) they are literally the same guys. The main point I'm making here is that talk about vicious vikings invading poor Albion and raping the crap out of the indigenous culture.
The fact is that by the time viking attacks began, the indigenous people were already fucked over by the same kind of invaders (who used a slightly different method of getting in) and it's all just random Germanic tribes fucking each other over just like all over Europe at the time.

Of course, mentioning that it's nothing special at all really grinds people's gears since most are perfectly fine with the Romantistic view of the era. Just like the Japanese Meiji Civil War and the whole myth of them disregarding guns and trying to fight rank and file soldiers with naginatas and what-not.

>map-size similar to Attila
>plays from the 9th to 11th century but can carry beyond apparently

jesus christ, each region must have so many settlements

>tfw spending 100 turns consolidating Mercia

what, with polite words and your harem of sheep?

This unironically sounds a like a trailer for GoT or something

Isn't that a little bullshit for the scale of fighting in the era.
I mean, there were simply not enough settlements to make Roman-scale wars possible at the time.

Having to conquer every single village inhabited by 20 people or so at the time seems a bit excessive.

Isn't there an atilla mod that does this already and adds tons of characters from the last kingdom TV series?

I loved Attila.
It has a comfy feeling as you try stave off the apocalypse

>killing danish shits while maining wessex
should be fun

>we're cancelling the apocalypse!

Speak for yourself you fucking paki

Sure thing, but that's a different discussion, I'm just tired of people not really understanding the history of the British Isles/Europe and bundling different groups together. Not that I'm accusing you of doing so, but it's already confusing enough.

People seem to romanticise the Vikings an awful lot, and it seems to mostly come from Americans who don't have a solid grasp on European history outside of a pop-culture view on, like through the show Vikings, claiming to be "pagan" and whatever else. I love Americans as people, but I find it kind of embarrassing when they try to weigh in on history they aren't too familiar with.

I only care about Ireland.

Do they lace the water with soy and estrogen in europe?

By the time the vikings had turned up Britain had been relatively peaceful for about a century, with most of the Saxon kingdoms becoming incredibly prosperous, putting out a fuck load of literature and goods and generally being decent places to live in. The Northumbrian golden age springs to mind. The vikings turned up and fucked all of that and it took decades for the British isles to return to relative prosperity.

Why is that guy wearing a t-shirt of a black guy sucking a cock?

Or literally any other piece of media with the central focus being a war for a crown. Or literally anyone discussing a war for a crown in real life.

>lace the water with soy

Except the Ottomans and Maratha were the strongest factions in that entire game by far

British isles at that time have many different people.
different celts, different kinds of vikigns invading.
The Angles and Saxons, the native brits etc.
Its like a better shogun.

Normans WHEN?

They're cool. They have text adventure elements and a momentum mechanic for cavalry. Basically, the further they move unimpeded the stronger their charge.

It also has an alignment mechanic which affects what units you get.

noided

What am I looking at here?

So there's no screenshots of gameplay so far? Kinda worrying.

It's a Death Grips shirt.

>this triggers the /his/

WHERES MY FUCKING TOMB KANGZZZZZZZ

That's fucking bullshit though, you can literally go from London to Edinburgh on foot and arrive there in less than a day.

>that sword

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>People seem to romanticise the Vikings an awful lot, and it seems to mostly come from Americans who don't have a solid grasp on European history outside of a pop-culture view on, like through the show Vikings, claiming to be "pagan" and whatever else. I love Americans as people, but I find it kind of embarrassing when they try to weigh in on history they aren't too familiar with.

To be fair, everyone learns the shortest version possible to have a simple grasp on things in school plus the local one.
Americans learn about their own stuff. Like the Civil War, expansions of territory, battles with Mexico, colonisation of Phillipines...

No one (outside of GB) learns about the British history in detail. War of the Roses, the Viking Invasion, Industrial Revolution, loss of the US. That's about it.

In turn, I doubt either of us could go into detail on things that Danes go through and such.
You can only learn so much in the allotted time, after all.

Oh I know, like, I wouldn't want to wade into a thread about, say, the American Civil War as if I had any real insight, I only know about it mostly from cultural osmosis. It just annoys me to see people wade into threads with romanticised images about history without even backing them up with something as simple as light reading on Wikipedia.

>yfw they add those edgy warrior women from the Vikings tv show into the game

It's the same with knights and samurai. None of them really do what they actually did, but the ideas are cool to people.

It was literally announced like a week ago.
They did say we'd get gameplay in 2018 Q1

This seriously, anglo history is booooring china total war when?

heh... nothenn personell nerd...

The who now?

but user, girls are just as good as guys pretty much

Are you fucking SEXIST or something, user?

You don't HAVE to buy the game.

...

if you are not a racist you HAVE to buy this DLC

kek that's funny

I always thought ragnar's wife was hot though, wouldn't mind stabbing my spear through a gap in her shield wall, if you know what I mean.

The first thing i'd do would be removing them.
Just because a woman scared off some native americans with a sword doesn't mean that every norse soldier was a woman.

>You will never utterly destroy such a woman in one on one combat.
>You will never see her surrender in the most animalistic way, by going on all fours and presenting herself.
>You will never mount one of them while they begrudgingly take it.
>You will never forcefully pull them by their hair and see into their defeated eyes while they moan to your thrusts.
Why even live?

pretty sure you can do that in Crusader Kings 2

>not wanting the opposite

No I don't know what you mean. Could you please elaborate?

Yes but in a very boring way probably.
>wanting the opposite
She's not a monstergirl, user. Real woman are all just rapebait anyway and they secretly want it.

>knights
>None of them really do what they actually did,
Implying you could ever take away Sir Launfal winning tournaments and slaying giants all day, then making love to his secret fae wife all night, all day every day.
