The Naval battles where your ships randomly blow up suits the Royal Navy fine too.

Oh there actually is a WW2 mod for RTW that makes the WW1 one for NTW look like a slick and professional indie product compared to it.

A shame, was hoping they'd do a medieval/gun power version with updates but now it dead. Oh well.

so ive been playing empire again and what ever happened to imperial splendor? What little there was was promising

Last time I checked they are still working on their Napoleonic spin off and a minor member of their team was busy trying to work slavery as some horrible form of economic bonus to Empire.

Needless to say, that sort of blunts my excitement for it.

Seriously the post was thus:

Some guy: Yo, I like this mod but this economics model is whack and lame.
Weird Nazi mod developer: I hear you, we're fixing it and our new system will be historically authentic. Slaves will be a resource as one of the features.

I kind of closed the tab after that, not sure what the reply to that was but knowing TWC....

Was he being a shitheel about slaves or did he want a rome 2 like system

I think his aim was to simply be an edge lord and just replace one of the continent resources (I strongly suspect Ivory in Africa) for slaves. I don't see how else he could it.

Part of me hopes that guy is just some weird half rear end coder these bloated mod teams pick up for some reason and he's long gone.

Only way it'd happen if they played it loose in Empire 2 and gave those African nations a chance to westernize and turn the tables now.

It's a delicate subject so essentially give everyone more or less the same tools to go for with a tech tree at 1700 and sit back and watch the dickery. The alternate history aspect of these games are the most fascinating.

Heh, so it turns out there is a mod set in the Taiping Rebellion era in China now. Catch? It's a mod for Medieval II.

I got a mod that simply used orchestral music made by the conductors and musicians of the 18th and early 19th century and it worked so much better. Hell, the NTW campaign music would also do me better.

Not much for a game that's not even out of alpha yet, which is kinda the point--people scrutinize it a ridiculous amount when you reveal so much when it's not ready yet.

I mean we've got nothing better to do, most of the non warham modding scene is dead.

I imagine it will be based on other leaders' traits. You can bet your yellow rubber duck Cao Cao will try his best to flip and use any dude he can. I just hope there's still enough battles going.

I was wondering when we'd see a reference to that old web comic.

Yeah Turin had nothing to do with that mess. It was ArchWarhammer and a bunch of other alt-right adjacent people. Turin seems fine.

Solution, we give the man an obvious mocking nickname (ArghWarham) to prevent any confusion and to take the piss out of his silly macho nerd name.

I think it does if you accept some of the limitations of the older games. And no, no need for mods at all for this one. Try and contain the French as Spain if you want a challenge, the DLC is part of the game.

Same.

Either a 19th century themed spin off or another crack at Empire.

I have made the exact same post in this thread once a drat year. And will do so until I, the thread or the franchise expires/actually does it.

I really love those mid-1800s uniforms. They’re a perfect mix between the obscene gaudiness of napoleonics and the utilitarian drab of the 20th century*

I wonder what fate befell the old PR guy who promised us a uniform editor with Napoleon sometimes.

He made some weird Peter Moloyneux stye claims though which pretty much taught me to always be weary about each game and it's features from that point.

My first complaint when I play 3K will be about the disturbing lack of :krad: guitar solos.

For many of us first exposed to the setting thanks to a whacky rear end Japanese game this is always a strange issue, even with the stone cold serious Chinese TV series we're constantly on edge waiting for some sick over the top shredding.

There used to be a Senate system that was similar in Rome.

Didn't the Pope do this in the original Medieval or was he just limited to calling the Crusades?
