Recruitment seems very strange, unless Im doing something wrong.

Like, the Money States don't have any basic recruitment, only AOR? Are we supposed to just use only mercenaries?

I don't know if I am dumb, but for the life of me I cannot find exactly what I need.


All Im looking for is a file with volley fire/tighter formations/less accuracy/more ammo/ottoman fix.

I've had great success with scorpions in my current Roman campaign. I have two units of Scorpions in each legion and they are competitive with the rest of my army, usually getting at least 300 kills...

I don't know if any fix was found, but Im also getting consistent crashes on the AI Undead turn. Anywhere from 8-16 turns in, usually. So far it has happened on both EOP and non-EOP versions, and it...

Obviously quite late here, but Im playing through an Egyptian campaign and I've found that the chariots are extremely effective at chasing down routing units. When the entire enemy army is routing,...

As someone who is a big fan of fantasy, with Warhammer definitely being one of my favorite Total Wars, I found Troy to be lacking. I didn't give the campaign very much of a try, though the map does...

Im (attempting) to play a migration campaign as Rome, the classic Italy-to-Britain voyage. It is very significantly more difficult with DEI, for sure! Two full "mercenary" legions, stuffed with...

I feel like I must be using it wrong, because it always feels very ineffective to me.

I've had minor success using scorpios to clear defenders off of walls in sieges, and of course a ballista is...

Yeah, I personally like both Attila and ThrOB, but they didn't do particularly well.

Looking at the mechanics of Three Kingdoms, things like having sub-generals, and the larger focus on...

The sound track is almost distracting with how hilariously bombastic it is even while they are just sitting around drinking tea. I get the idea that this is somewhat common in Chinese media?

1) Yes. It's by far the most improved part of the whole game, and it is vastly better than the diplomacy of any other game in the series. A couple of examples:

I won my last campaign because the...

I like the battles in general more in Records mode, but for my part I absolutely love the duels and have wanted them for so long that I find it hard to give them up. Maybe if the general's bodyguard...

This was one of the few times I've ever won a Total War campaign.
As Liu Bei, I stayed around my home territory for most of the campaign, fighting largely defensively. For the longest time, I was...

Actually, yes, but only just within the last few turns. Im not even sure exactly what happened. Kong Rong was my long-standing ally for almost a hundred turns, and then he instead decided to become a...

I am over one hundred and twenty turns into a campaign as Liu Bei. Normally, around this time, I would be rolling over the AI, or at the very least have an unassailable stronghold of territory.

I don't mean to sound rude, but... How could you not notice it was on Romance mode in the very first battle that you fight on turn one of the campaign? :tongue:

Im not getting the option to reform Arnor and Im not sure why.

I've recreated the Kingdom of Arthedain. I control all of the core regions of Arnor. It's well over 70 turns. I have 21 or 22...

It doesn't really appear to be a huge problem with pike units in my experience. They are a little wonky and always have been, but the hoplites, I don't know, maybe it's something about the shorter...

I really haven't noticed much of a change, so you may be right. I didn't start a new campaign though, so that might also be an issue?

I think the cause is overpopulation rather than an initial...

Well that's the odd thing, I've already looked at mods that add units, and, just like other Total War games, all you have to do it change the units_to_groupings_military_permissions_tables. At least,...

I am playing a Spartan campaign, and I have formed the Hellenic League. I would like to allow Sparta to recruit a selection of units from other Greek factions in order to represent a combined...

Oh yes, I do that frequently. I actually recommend the "More Client State Levies" mod so that you have a wider selection.

I don't recommend making Athens a vassal, though, you need Athenai to...

The Spartocids quell unrest in a very direct fashion.

Not the most glamorous screenshot, but I've never seen this before.

The Beneventum region has been fought over for years now, so much that it's been almost...

Honestly it just looks like bad luck.

Try starting the campaign again, maybe?

Thanks, I'd use that. I tried to take a loot at the population script myself but I couldn't quite figure it out.


A little off-topic, but Im actually trying to alleviate my manpower problem in a...

Upon more playing, I just really don't think that Hoplites using the pike formation is working. I took a bunch of screenshots.

I actually just went and changed it so they didn't impact campaign movement speed so much. It was really almost unplayable, there was never any point to bringing artillery.

Im wondering, can...

Thanks I'll give that a try. Right now Athens is a large economic center but Im planning a conquest of Cimmeria soon, so I should be making enough money from there to transform Hellas into a military...

I am playing with 40 unit stacks, so my armies are larger, but I never run into this much of a problem with other factions.

I've just hit the first reforms, thinking that would help, but alas, I...

I didn't mean the formation in game terms, but in aesthetic terms. In my experience the lines tend to stay together better, and actually create battle lines, instead big bulges of AI just piling into...

I liked it better personally, but I also really like the new system in theory.

I guess I really just wish CA had done better with hoplites from the start. I think shieldwall-on-shieldwall combat...

I wonder if there isn't a better way to represent hoplites?

I recall there being some Roman units that march with their shields up at all times, the same way units do in TOB. Perhaps it would be...

It was compounded by being in mountainous terrain, I imagine.

I finagled my way into a second battle on my terms on flat terrain and it went a lot better. The AI still spun, but I was able to...

I don't understand what just happened.

Im playing as Sparta, facing off against Athens. Both armies are very hoplite-heavy. After twenty minutes of maneuvering, the lines are facing up nicely....

I mean, don't get me wrong, there are plenty of mechanics that I feel have been downgraded, and there are plenty of things I think could be improved, but from a business sense, CA is doing better...

Total War is wildly more popular than it's ever been since the release of Warhammer. They pumping out DLC and free improvements for Rome II (a five year old game), they're making the first in a new...

Is this not how it is in vanilla? Im pretty sure you researched reforms in vanilla, and it really wasn't that interesting. I much prefer the script-based reforms.

I am using the new beta patch playing as Ptolemies. When I load my saved game, my pharaoh will have a "pharaoh" trait instead of a political rank, which seems appropriate and it's a great trait, but...
