I see that there. posted:Age of Mythology? I would pay significant amounts of money for a game that is basically dominions 3 with a modern UI and engine.

SeanBeansShako posted:Yeah, I got the first Shogun 2 on a White Label Release a few years back and the BAI is non existant. You got the what now? And I remember the BAI to be not that bad, it certainly made assaulting a river province a pain in the butt because it would line up its Army juuuuuust out of bow range and pin you into the bridgehead as soon as your first guy made it across.

If, for whatever reason, you don't have Rome already, it is up for 1€. I got it just so I have it on steam (and get the English dub because the German one sucked. The Triarii sounded...unenthusiastic).

SeanBeansShako posted:Yeah but Romance isn't a 100% accurate historical record, but like the series based on the dude with the silly hat in my avatar stuff happened. Interesting stuff. I'm hoping for 15/16th century Italy, myself. Pike and shot is an era they haven't really visited.

SeanBeansShako posted:Not really, but why stop? (well, unless your territories are in open revolt) because the high end economic tech really rakes in the money. I'm still surprised they didn't decide to go with an American Civil War game next. It is pretty much just an extensive reskin of FOTS, anyway, and it would probably sell really well, considering the popularity of ACW mods.

shalcar posted:It has always been a maximum of 20 units per land stack, although in Shogun 2 you can have up to 40 units on the field for each side at once, so if anything, you get the biggest battles out of the entire series in it, certainly bigger than anything Medieval 2 threw at you. You can actually mod the savegame to allow an unlimited number of units on the field, but your performance tanks rather predictably.

Chomp8645 posted:This was fixed a while ago in Shogun 2. All maps have dojos now (instead of only some of them), and if you control all the dojos for 10 minutes you auto-win. If you just collect the dojos then a camper will have to contest at least one of them, and the skirmishing almost always results in a full scale engagement because their only alternative is to throw units away one a time contesting points. Might be the same guy I fought. He sat on a hill and dared me to approach. Turns out that sitting next to the forest running all the way around the map can lead to unpleasant surprises. He also got mad that I didn't charge into his perfectly placed killzone. I mean, there is nothing wrong with taking a defensive position if you think you are outmatched. Attacking always comes with a penalty if your opponent knows what he is doing. But defending isn't camping. You still have to counter maneuver and look for pickoffs when one of his units is out of position.

Hargrimm posted:Loading into that battle was amazingly fast. Also, they are clearly redoing the scales of stats for this game: I think the battle and the campaign map had nothing to do with each other, he said the battle was a historical one.

R. Mute posted:Y'know what I'd like? A Total War game in Sub-Sahara Africa or pre-colonial America. It would be neat. Is there actually enough historcal research to make a game the scope of your avergae TW game? Last I heard the Europeans were very thorough in wiping out the cultures and records in thos areas, so it would probably be a themed fantasy game. Plus you lose all the sales from the white nationalists that want to see the world painted in the color of their country. Not that this would necessarily be a bad thing.

They would be insane not to include Legions. Its the equivalent of not having Samurai in Shogun.

Panzeh posted:There are a lot of fantasy/sci fi strategy games out there, actually, but they're mostly designed by people who are more interested in just shoving in 'awesome' than bothering with things like balance. They add in more possibilities than historicals, but most of them are bad, kind of like Dominions 3's magic uber alles or Master of Magic's complete lack of internal balance. Dominions: Total War could be pretty awesome, though. At least they have a metric fuckton of unique factions.

Chomp8645 posted:While the 99% figure is an exaggeration, this man correct when he says that there is a rather bizarre trend of game developers being somewhere between bad and awful at their own games. I've never understood it, but it seems to be an undeniable truth. They are playing 12 development builds a week, they just don't have the time to break the game wide open the same way players do. Besides, you design the game with certain assumptions in mind (which you may or may not be aware of). Other people obviously do not necessarily follow these assumptions and approach it unbiased.

I thought FOTS did Realm Divide very well, with both sides of the conflict deciding that this is it and rallying behind the largest factions. Of course, that is a fair bit harder if there are no two well defined sides.

SquadronROE posted:So what will be the next Total War game? Medieval 3? Modern Total War? Fall of Rome/Rise of Rome. And last I heard they didn't really want to do anything with a three in it. Plus medieval naval battles are probably the most boring thing imaginable.

Odd, normally people flip out at clothes and demand more dicks and/or boobs in their mods.
