>The game will not be a real historical title, instead it'll be mostly be based on fantasy depictions of the era >Flaws from previous Total War games will remain unaddressed: Siege battles will still suck cock, the unit collisions and interaction will still be worse than Rome 1 and Medieval 2, and probably much more. >The combat, like the visuals, will not contain an ounce of historicity - instead of a highly diverse unit roster made up of the unique, interesting troops of this time period, there will be extremely generic, shitty units who mostly serve as mooks to be chewed up by the hero units. Don't expect any intricate formations or tactics. >If there are units who can form up in certain ways anyway, it'll just be CA paying half-assed lip service to history. Don't expect these formations to work properly, or to look remotely right. >There will be stupid shit like those fucking soldiers who only carry a one handed sword, as seen in the trailer. What is this shit, Dynasty Warriors? >The battles themselves will be extremely boring and generic. Like in most previous games, even large ones will be over in five minutes. Deployment, tactics, formations and all that will play a minimal role, because that would take effort to create. >Instead, it will mostly consist of faceless grunts charging into a disorganised melee. Rather than winning through superior tactics, trickery and manoeuvring, the battles will be all about clicking on hero ability icons as if this is some sort of shitty MOBA
so to sum up, it will be just like every nu-totalwar? who would could have predicted that

James Long
who the fuck thought that having an entire total war game set around samey looking chink spearmen was a good idea just why even Shogun 2 which is known for it's shitty unit diversity is way more interesting than this
Eli Watson
I don't even care about series anymore, I hoped that warhammer will be modable and we get many fantasy mods for it, but I guess not, so fuck this shit.

They already confirmed that the battles will be same old boring shit. I don't care about what crappy gimmicks the campaign map will have this time.

wanted to watch red cliff but its so fucking boring and I dont really like eastern films either, so Im gonna use wikkipedia to learn shits about this era

It actually makes sense. Look at the mongols
Liam Morales
Yeah? Finally some good news
Aaron Jenkins
The only people who care about a Three Kingdoms strategy game already have the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series and don't care about casual Total War shit.
Nicholas Jones
After warhammer everything feels boring. Only gunpowder can save the genre
Angel Miller
Why do people even give a shit about the campaign side of Total War games? It'll never be as good as a real grand strategy game. Shitty settlement micromanagement features and "character development"(i.e. pointless skill trees that aren't half as interesting as the old R1/M2 system).
The campaign map should be about setting up the scene for good and varied battles, not the upgrade level of cattle farms.
But romance games are janky as fuck. At least most CA games look aesthetically good

If they'd open a history book they would find a slew of cool units. Instead it'll be Sword Recruits vs. Spear Peasants

but theres like 100 episodes of this shit, some of them not even availabe on jewtube
Thomas Wood
some of us get nostalgic when playing older titles with mods like Evropa Barbarorvm or Stainless Steel which had a fun, challenging campaign for all the factions AND fun battles that you needed to use real tactics to get advantage over AI
Owen King
Considering this is China, they probably pushed a real horse off a cliff. The rate at which this series was made left no time for props. Only Chinese devil magic made the series possible.
Cooper Cox
Not even EB filled the campaign map with the same level of frivolous horseshit that exists purely to waste your time. EB was really interesting with all the traits and stuff your characters could get, the key difference between it and nu-TW is that it did it organically.

Nah sweety. The chink were far advanced in military tech. Especially in the ancient times

People like Shogun 2 because in a game where arbitrary stats don't decide battles, tactics is king
"MUH unit roster" fags like you who never even touch multiplayer will never understand that

True. ROTK 10 is still the best. Too bad we'll never get an English translation of the PC version of it, or any of the old ones. They even put em all on Steam to taunt us.
Dylan Walker
>The game will not be a real historical title, instead it'll be mostly be based on fantasy depictions of the era They already confirmed it. It's not based on history but on novel which anyone with brain could notice after the trailer.

Good. It was a mistake. Besides arena is fun if you play with friends against public noobs

Lmfao like you think that guy doesn't just autoresolve his entire playthrough
Dylan Allen
If there is no diversity, it will be because of CA retarded choices. There was diversity in antic China. It was a country the size of fucking Europe for god's sake.
Lucas Thomas
They're all available, just not all on one channel. Just a quick search away.
Joseph Brown
desu, I had my most fun in multiplayer campaign Multiplayer battle are brainded meta shit out of that
Kevin Perry
there's nothing wrong with autoresolving because 95% of battles are boring one sided garbage that you'd rather skip than play In fact, both the Battles and Campaigns suck so that's why I stopped playing TW at Shogun 2

This time and place would contain unit types that are completely unique. I mean types, ones that wouldn't have any gameplay analogue in any other setting Instead you can bet your ass on generic "Spear Retards" and whatnot The multiplayer meta in the new games is so heavily defined by engine flaws, it's ridiculous. >Rome 2 multiplayer battle >pike phalanxes drawn out until they're one man deep You know they fucked something up when that's the right way to use such a unit.

They countered cavalry charges with a solid line of crossbowmen gunning the approaching horsemen down, Napoleon style.
Chaining ships together or fireship employment was also quite the different take on naval warfare than elsewhere.
Their fortress cities are also quite interesting, to say nothing of the weaponry employed to take over them or defend them.
Chase Phillips
Stop being a whiney cocksucking little bitch nigger.
I don't give a rat's ass about realism in a fucking historical title in a video game.
If you want authenticity go LARP some historical battles in modern costume tournaments and try to irritate your opponent enough so that he would cleave through your dumb ass skull, and rid the World of your presence.
Give me my sparkly historical make-believe and just use the fucking Warhammer engine. I don't care. Don't use Rome 2, dont use Nigger Tier Attila, just grab the one fucking game you got right and fill it with chinks.
If they are stupid enough to fill it with magic and kung fu shit, it's their loss. I just won't buy it. If they are less retarded and keep it a fraction closer to reality but still varied and satisfyingly decorative, I'm gonna buy it and enjoy it.
As long as they dont pull another Rome 2, there is a chance it will be good enough.
If they do, 'Im gonna smear shit on the handle of their cars.
Now go play Tomb Kings.

I want to be excited for this but I know they're going to fuck it up. And it will also be absolutely riddled with DLC.
Brandon Cruz
calling dynasty warriors huge is a vast overstatement.
Ayden Thomas
Johan please read my job application letter. I"ve got great ideas how to turn Victoria 3 into a moba
Last time i played online Warhammer 2 i got my lord literally one-shoted -and the worst part is that i cant tell if it was cheating or some stats/magic bulshit. Either way it made me realize how autistic you need to study every unit of the game in order to be competitive, every spell, every item.
Not fun
Oliver Ross
Is that really that good?
Zachary Rogers
What was the situation? I've seen lords get effectively oneshot before but that required 4 units of GW rangers and the regiment of renown debuff, and a couple of heroes hitting mannlet all at once
Daniel Smith
Who were you playing and against who. Luminark is good at sniping
David Evans
I dont remember but it was against dinos (lords and heroes), they were using mounted units and large monsters, 0 infantry but some skirmishers.
It was a low budget game so i effectively lost after the initial clash. I was using the everchosen from chaos.
Justin Perry
Based caocao did nothing wrong.
Jackson Rogers
Only way I can see that happening is if kroq-gar hit you with his magic attack and something bugged out (low unit sizes decreasing HP?), archaon shouldn't be dying in one hit to anything
Leo Hernandez
