As a fellow chicken poo poo non overclocker, I suggest only doing that with enough cash to replace it. Overclocking is scary stuff.

Mans posted:Do they expect anyone to buy the mini Attila new game they're going to release after showing off this incredible teaser? It was just a cutscene and doesn't show off any gameplay so I don't really get what's incredible about it. The teaser doesn't really tell us anything other than the setting and lord knows Total War has definitely made lovely games in potentially awesome settings.

I play on a laptop with most texture stuff on ultra and most lighting effects on medium and get like 50 fps and it still looks p drat good. I turn off sharpening and the low number of antialiasing passes don't matter that much. Caveat: I'm getting older and don't wear my contacts for prolonged computer use and my eyes aren't really good enough to get the benefit of the post-process sharpening.

I'd rather they did it properly as an expansion, a la FotS or rather more like RotS. Maybe they'll do way more Caesar in Gaul style focussed campaigns, which would be cool.

Dong Zhuo, notorious usurper. Burned down the capital city when it became clear he could not hold it. Murdered by his adopted son and chief general, Lu Bu. The history of this period is out of control.

Just for future reference, the zh sound in Chinese is closest to an English j sound, but pronounced a little further back on the palate. Modern Chinese has a very restrictive syllable construction system with only about 400 possible syllables. (This is why tones are necessary.) Here's a handy multimedia pronunciation guide for all possible syllables in Mandarin Chinese: https://chinese.yabla.com/chinese-pinyin-chart.php

This looks pretty damned amazing, the setting really has potential to make an incredible Total War game and it will be interesting to see what they do with hero units and the general system. Either the composers have stepped their game up or Jeff van Dyck is back because that was a seriously good track on the trailer.Funky Valentine posted:Total War Megathread 2 - Do Not Cycle Charge Lu Bu What the hell, the thread needs a new title anyway and this is pretty great.

Whenever he went in or out, if he was on land there were horsemen and chariots drawn up in array, and if he travelled by water there were lines of small craft, all with followers in embroidered clothing.

He loved to play a fine part, but he began as an impoverished drunkard: when creditors came to his gate he simply assured them that one day he would be wealthy and powerful, and he would repay them then. Later, when he held command, he would steal for the benefit of his men and on his own account, and if one of his officers or soldiers happened to be well off, he would sometime skill him and take his property hell yeah posted:Zhu Huan, as general of Wu on campaign against Wei, quarrelled bitterly with his commander-in-chief, killed numbers of his attendants, and then "pretended he was insane" and left the army. Sun Quan, however, soothed him down, treated him with honour, and returned him to the front with a largely independent command. Zhu Huan remarked that now he had the opportunity to return to active service, his ailment would cure itself. the historical three kingdoms owned just as much as the folklore version

Third World Reggin posted:I like that total war warhammer has been a test bed for ideas for the historical series. Every Total War Campaign is just the beta for the next Campaign. The new features of the last one are refined and polished into the next. It's why you still find references to Shogun 2 in the data files of the Warhammer games. Speaking of which, I really hope they go back to the Shogun 2 style loyalty system where a disloyal general will defect to another faction rather than just becoming their own.

The Elves have music like this, sure, but the Skaven have like weird throat singing and horror music, while the Lizardmen tracks sound straight out of the Fallout 1 and 2 OST's at times. The variety and quality of all of the music in WH2 is one of my favorite parts of the game.

That said, I don't know how you're getting that good of FPS, neither my GPU or CPU max out in WH2 on very high unit sizes and I still drop to around 20 FPS in bigger battles, which I assumed was just a limitation of the i5. turn off the TV fucked around with this message at 15:05 on Jan 11, 2018 |

It's like reading Chinese Shakespeare if Shakespeare wrote an epic rather than plays that focused more on the war aspect than actual drama (imagine MacBeth engaged in a debate about whether to besiege a suspiciously empty city between a bunch of generals and a strategist rather than thinking about/eventually killing King Duncan). Zhuge Liang hype though

Chinese players loved Oriental Empires though. This is just a big important country thing. Chinese people are used to getting their own way and having foreigners accommodate them now the way that Anglo-Americans have done for the past couple of centuries or so. The market’s big enough that it’s worth people’s while to localise properly. No-one bats an eyelid at expecting games to be translated into English.

Robert Moss' seems to be the best translation, but it can still be quite a task. Everyone has at last two names, and the one they use most is not the one you know from Dynasty Warriors - he's Kongming or Master Sleeping Dragon, not Zhuge Liang; Zhao Yun is usually Zhao Zilong; and the three brothers are often (but not always) called Xuande, Yunchang, and Yide, instead of Liu Bei, Guan Yu (or Lord Guan), and Zhang Fei. I enjoyed reading it (though it was the abridged version), but do keep a cheat sheet handy.
