Total War Megathread V.2: "All of Christendom Will be Awed by this Megathread!" - Games

[QUOTE=MountainWatcher;36802401]Still didn't stop Viriathus, though v:v:v [url]http://www.badassoftheweek.com/viriathus.html[/url][/QUOTE] Why is this not a movie? This and maybe one about Hannibal each one starring Vin Diesel and in the style of 300 would be amazing.

Because it's Portuguese history, no one gives a shit about Portugal. [editline]17th July 2012[/editline] I mean, seriously, the last time I saw Portugal in pop culture outside of historical strategy games was on tropico 4 where they had one of our dictator as a playable character (and the fucker spoke spanish)

Noone for Shogun 2 or FotS coop?

Does anyone have a mod for total units under your command in a battle? Either I split my troops and get slaughtered or I give my troops to the Ai and they get slaughter,

It'd be cool if in Rome 2 you could change Rome's historical reputation so instead of them being huge douchebags you could have them be a more benevolent force with pros and cons for each style of course

Why does everyone get their panties in such a bunch over the fact he likes darth vader.

[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;36814636]If you actually play the mod you see theres no stars wars stuff involved. Why does everyone get their panties in such a bunch over the fact he likes darth vader.[/QUOTE] It doesn't fit in with the theme for Total War and people see the logo and immediately assume it's some stupid Star Wars mod without actually doing their research.

Darthmod is pretty cool apart from stuff like naval battles in ETW taking fifty billion years.

Question, if I change number of soldiers per unit, when I and the AI recruit units are they going o recruit the full increased unit? What I want to know if that if I can use that setting to merge two big armies I have because I don't want the Ai to fuck it over. [editline]17th July 2012[/editline] Oh god, now I can't run it, it says it can't find Steam, what the shit.

What I want to know if that if I can use that setting to merge two big armies I have because I don't want the Ai to fuck it over.[/QUOTE] Sorry man, that's not how that option works :( Basically, what it does is determine the amount of men in a unit. It's for the less fortunate players who don't have decent PCs. Having a battle with ~5000 men in it would cause them to lag like hell. All it does is increase or decrease the unit size, but it doesn't affect how many men you can have in an army. You'll still only be able to control however many stacks of units it is when you fight a battle. If you're having a problem with shitty AI, just level up a decent general and let him control the army. Then, just have the secondary, AI army follow your army everywhere you go. When you get into battles, the AI will help out. I've found the AI to not be totally fucking retarded when there's a 5-star general leading it.

But I remember for Medievel 2 the hour glass is replaced with a tie-fighter and the loading screen is Darth Vader and there was a lightsaber somewhere :v:

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;36814838]Darthmod is pretty cool apart from stuff like naval battles in ETW taking fifty billion years.[/QUOTE] Fast forward.

[QUOTE=sami-pso;36823831]Fast forward.[/QUOTE] Also you can use Darthmod's launcher to put army deployments closer to one another when the battles start

Personally I like Darthmod only for Empire and Napoleon. Napoleon's Darthmod is the best, it just unlocked 40 unit battles. Darthmod for FOTS just makes every modern unit completely useless against the older units. In vanilla, shit like Infantrie de Marine would wreck a Samurai unit in both ranged (would route before they even got to melee) and would kill them to death in melee, even with bayonets.

Does anyone have a download link to that Warhammer Fantasy mod for Medieval II Kingdoms that isn't a site that has those annoying non premium restrictions and isn't cut into parts?

[QUOTE=GetBent;36826969]Does anyone have a download link to that Warhammer Fantasy mod for Medieval II Kingdoms that isn't a site that has those annoying non premium restrictions and isn't cut into parts?[/QUOTE] There is torrent which old as fuck So no for the new ones. You could try moddb.

Just bought Napoleon, I now own every Total War game including and past Rome.

[QUOTE=Careld;36827077]There is torrent which old as fuck So no for the new ones. You could try moddb.[/QUOTE] Already tried, links to that same site with the annoying restrictions.

I just played some more shogun 2 because I'm trying it out again, after 26 hours of gameplay I still feel I don't know what I am doing :v: When I started a battle which I was fairly outnumbered I remembered something Sandor Clegane said in GoT (end of season 2) [sp]If anyone dies with a clean blade I will RAPE THEIR FUCKING CORPSE![/sp] .. Funnily enough I didn't loose many men and won by the enemy running, I think I had the hound in my ranks :)

I've been playing Third Age. I've raped LOTR's lore. As Gondor I'm beating Mordor with a belt while it screams "NO BOROMIR NO!" I've killed all the Nazgul and all Mordor's generals. I'm also sieging Barad Dur, Sauron's last fortress.

Plus there are those two major sub-mod compilations (Baron-Samedi's, MOS) which add so very much to the game. I certainly recommend one of those.

Dear Rome, Why do you feel fit to stop my cavalry dead on its heels when I tell it to rush? Gargle cocks Sincerely, my troops.

[QUOTE=MountainWatcher;36829796]Dear Rome, Why do you feel fit to stop my cavalry dead on its heels when I tell it to rush? Gargle cocks Sincerely, my troops.[/QUOTE] Dear MountainWatcher, We fixed that problem in M2:TW by making it so half of your cavalry regiment charges and the rest will stay behind as backup in case things get hairy. We also made it so Knights will no longer charge with those unfashionable lances, and instead go in with their swords at the ready. Sincerely, SEGA.

It's really good.

TWR is a cunt to play multiplayer. Just keep getting gamespy disconnected shit.
