After the initial shock and surprise of Rome 2 being announced, is it bad that the only thing I'm concerned about now is whether or not they fix their boring lovely general/heir system back to how detailed and fun it was in Rome? No I don't want to pick between two lovely retainers I want to pick up my drunken uncle randomly

MrOnBicycle posted:What they really need to do is expand on the multiplayer campaign. Add the possibility for more players and for players to attack each other. They need to balance them first. Shogun 2 was a step in the right direction but it was completely broken because either you started near the trade routes (and had a 100% chance of winning) or you started anywhere else (and your chance was closer to 0%). That said, I remember between the releases of Rome and Medieval 2 they essentially said that they would never ever ever release a multiplayer campaign game so I was pleased they even considered it. It's a shame they probably picked the worst map to do it on for the first time.

Until Sima Yi shows up to be the villain to Zhuge Liang's hero, there isn't really a hero and villain for the show after Cao Cao dies. i just watched this scene and i love how he just starts spitting rice all over the place in a huff and then as soon as he hears that chen gong is behind it he immediately just goes "oh that makes sense" and starts chuckling about it. like he was mostly mad that lu bu did something tricky and devious and as soon as he hears evidence that allows him to think "oh, i was right and it was just bad intel" hes right back to being in a good mood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODvBdLMCcO8&t=320s Verviticus fucked around with this message at 07:23 on Jun 17, 2019 |

am i missing something about capturing generals? in ~20 fights, some auto-resolved first and then reloaded, i have never captured anyone. i've seen %s as high as 70% and ive even started cheating and reloading before fights to try both rolling manually and by delegating and i dont even know what the "enemy general captured" screen looks like

Stanley Tucheetos posted:You've never seen the pop-up that lets you employ, release, or execute? I tend to capture enemy generals fairly regularly. If you are killing non legendaries in the battlefield they just straight up die and won't be captured. no, they literally always die maybe ive just been supremely unlucky?

theres feedback where you challenge to a duel and its says the intent is to kill/wound so i wonder if there was originally a toggle for thatDavincie posted:for your manual battles, are you killing them after they retreat when the battle is won? That just kills em not if i can help it. sometimes they just fight until they die and there wasnt much i could do but im usually preoccupied with chasing down the infantry so i can level up my dudes

I recommend you use the -100 Satisfaction for Han Empire Characters mod, which prevents the Han faction from hording over a hundred characters by the late game. i cant find this anywhere, do you have a link edit: i found this - does it work on games that have already started or do i need to restart edit2: it worked pretty well, though it does weaken the han a fair amount which kinda sucks  i dont think it works like this, guys Verviticus fucked around with this message at 12:04 on Jul 1, 2019 |

Zurai posted:The first doesn't work very well in my experience -- they have terrible accuracy shooting over a rise when they will even fire at all -- and I've never had a trebuchet even approach what archery masters do to the AI except when the AI spazzes out and bunches all of their units into one giant meat ball within my range. trebs gently caress up armies without ever getting hit back though. i rarely have to worry about replenishment because im not losing archers in the archer vs archer fight

is experience understood in this game yet? do generals get more experience for murdering or do they get the same if their personal army does the killing? i presume hunting people down gives more exp than letting them get away

Grizzwold posted:Having a real annoying bug where sometimes generic leaders will spawn and not have any skill tree. Just a blank tab where it should be. No idea what to do to fix it either, it's probably a mod issue but I have no idea which one could be causing it. this game is weirdly stingy about hero profiles. just tell me what loving level liu bei is and where guan yu is for fuckssake The Cheshire Cat posted:Yeah something the TW series has needed for a while is some kind of "uninterruptable" order. Like, hold alt or something when giving an order and it will lock it so that your units won't stop until they reach it, even if it means having to try to break through/flee an engagement that catches them and taking casualties. yeah, having to click repeatedly to force the issue is really not good

i find that like 25% of the time my cavalry charges at an archer group, collide very mildly and kill like 3 guys, and then the archers just disengage across the entire map while the cavalry does gently caress all. this combined with like, spear infantry running towards and catching up with generals is really frustrating and i wish i knew why this poo poo happened

is there some sort of command i have to push to tell a unit to "do this thing please and dont not do this thing" cause holy gently caress do my guys disengage for no apparent reason really often. i auto-resolve large battles at this point because the sheer volume of babysitting i have to do completely ruins it. i am aware of what guard mode is and i basically dont use it, it makes no difference happens completely non-stop with cavalry. charge them into one of 17 groups of archers, kill 3 or so, and then they just stand still. i find groups of shock cavalry being shot to death by archers three feet away all the loving time Verviticus fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Jul 14, 2019 |

The Cheshire Cat posted:Honestly people underrate the value of generals in records mode as combat units, too. They don't have their unique special moves but they do still get some pretty awesome equipment that gives them crazy useful buffs like Zheng Jiang's "no stamina loss" axes (which is an even bigger deal in Records) or Lu Bu's "I'm goddamn invincible" armour. Even regular generals tend to have extremely good stats on their unit and they're all cavalry so they're going to be very good hammers throughout the entire campaign. i feel like a lot of them have stuff like charge reflect or negation floating around too. i think records generals are actually substantially better at loving up enemy cavalry vs romance ones

i feel like every time i get a new named general, no matter what level are and how i equip them, they're never even close to as resilient as the generals i started with. xiahou dun is level 7 and can take a seemingly infinite amount of punishment, but i recently annex liu bei and used the three brothers and both zhang fei guan yu at level 6 took like 60% of their health being jabbed in the butt with spears for two seconds

Carver posted:this one is still the worst. Please have mercy on my Wenruo CA. i feel like they probably decided that cao cao has the largest number of cool/notable people in reality of the era and that they'd have to cut some out, because otherwise he'd just have like 15 generals. unfortunately this means cao cao has a ton of champions and sentinels (many of whom just dont show up in lots of games, or basically dont exist like yue jin) and others like yu jin and guo jia have to be generally recruitable. does xun you even show up in the game? I've never seen him golden bubble posted:He should definitely be recruited in a Zheng Jiang campaign. The Brilliant trait is really good. i had one campaign where guo jia just didnt show up and it sucked because he has three blue traits, all of which are really strong. hes gotta be the strongest non-unique portrait strategist in the game by a mile edit: as someone who is somewhat but not entirely familiar with the time period, im actually kind of surprised at how many important people are seem to have existed and been recorded entirely as "guy that repeatedly gives a lord really good advice". did people with some but not extreme means raise their children to be "generally literate and smart" in the hopes that they could attach themselves to some warlord later in life?

you could make emperor a countdown and you could make the ai more confrontational and less "run to the middle of his territory and take some lovely farmland and run away". the forced march changes are really, really nice it feels like the game rewards you for having few armies for as long as possible and then you hit emperor and suddenly you need 3x as many because youre now being swarmed from the inside
