Trading is like this because the employees at CA can not solve the issue with AI and difficulty scaling as the campaign progresses. The game "keeps" you in check with stupid features like this. The...

The total war series is not "that" kind of game. Thankfully.
An overwhelming majority of gamers don't want that kind of painstakingly detailed management. We want the essense of war and conquest....

I would just like to say that CA has gone from my favourite company to my least favourite over the last couple of releases.
It's not the DLC milking that gets me. But that the games are still...

BUMP and UPDATE

So i edited export_triggers (removed whole sections of some of the bad traits) in notepad, saved it inside a pack in a folder called lua_scripts and enabled it in mod manager.
Did...

Basically what i want to do is remove certain traits from the game. Example: I keep low taxes to get my public order up, and my general gets a -6% taxes trait. Im thinking well im already getting...

About 15 turns in and i dont want to figure the mechanics out by trial and error. The manual doesn't go into details about these matter.

Playing as Julii, my faction leader (who is the only one...

History intrigues me, but only to a certain point.
I'd rather have a fun but unrealistic game rather than a completely accurate but incredibly boring game.
I guess its a matter of how anal you...

Lotr Total War would sell an incredible amount of copies and it wouldnt really matter what the current fanbase thinks because it wouldnt even be a fraction of the amount of Lotr fans that would buy...

At turn 1 migrate to spain keeping bologna as your only defended city.

Infantry charges dont work properly either with 2 out of 75 men fighting.
(yes i know there are ways around it but that still doesnt change the fact that charges dont work)

Dont quote me on this but disabling banners might give a slight performance boost. Do a search on the forum and you'll find a couple of helpful tips on how to increase performance.

Alright my mistake then apoc.
I mistook your desperate cry for attention as a crusade against the fanboys that are not the real fanboys/whiners that whine about the whiners.
But please feel free to...

Hilarity. I havent been around on these forums so long but i've already grown acustomed to this hilariously pathetic attempts at rallying people behind lost causes.

You'd expect some better...

I wonder how many people have the fortune to sharing your brain, and knowing the reason to your brilliant conclusion that i am a fanboy.
Maybe im just a bit too old to know how much it raises you...

Spearmen aren't my main problem when playing cavalry. Missile cavalry is.
You can always pull a unit of spear to the side and charge from all sides until they rout. Rince and Repeat.
But missile...

If germany is not too important try migrating.
I took my entire population to the iberian penninsula, took valencia and zaragosa then raised taxes on my previous provinces so they rebelled. The...

Photoshop is fun.

Of course the arqebus will win because the crossbows are meant to stay out of range. Even handgunners would beat crossbowmen if they were allowed to come close.

Every unit type has its implementation, its strenghts and weaknesses.

Oh and if you like archers, try the dismounted dvor of russia.
Higher damage than the longbowmen (either 11 or 13 i cant...

Thats weird, since on hilly terrain you should be able to put multiple units of gunners behind eachother.

I agree that musks do a decent amount of damage, but i cant stand that they need to be in...

Most brilliant thread of the year award.

The trick is to keep a smaller garrison, so the happiness percentage isnt too high. Yes it makes little sense because it is a concept that should be applied to cities not castles, since we cant...

Any reason why you think that?

I really liked the full-body unit cards much better. =/

Thanks for all the tips.
I've just started a rus campaign because i cant be bothered with his holiness so crusades are out of the question atm. I will try to stay away from commiting genocide every...

Sure, there are ways around the ai, but thats all beside the point.
If you buy a car and realise the breaks aren't working do you go "oh well i cant whine because i can still use the hand break?"

Or, some people disregard logic and relevance in favour of mindless chatter.

We could do this all day but seriously, i havent gotten payed yet, and i aint educating people on the basics of reading...

1. There was a rebel province just north of pamplona, free for the taking for both france and portugal.

2. My papal standing was higher than both portugal and france, seeing as i did a couple of...

Who is this reply intended to?
If it is me i suggest you read the first line of my post above.
If, not then i apologise.

How about you actually read posts before replying?

Nevermind, i'll sum it up for you.

Moors= not allied with portugal and france.
Me = allied with portugal and france.

How about that now.

What about sacking them, is that fine? =)

Hah, talk about something that needs fixing in a patch.

Launch crusades vs the moors as spain, drive them out of the penninsula and get good relationships with the papal states as well as...

I cant for the life of me figure out what im doing wrong here.

I've tried focusing on building churches/mosques in all my provinces, spamming priests/imams as fast as is possible, sticking holy...

It's about 50/50 for me. I usually end up chasing the ai around to get some open field action.
Maybe i should go for more ambushes. ;)

Thats not ironic, its a coincidental mistake.
Irony is a dramatical inconsistency between what is expected an what actually occurs. Example:

Someone being choked to death by a grape stuck in his...

Seeing as i now have the rank of apprentice, i shall take the liberty to officially state my approval of this.

Well, let me put it this way. I believe certain things can be useless.
Like people for instance, some people can be pretty useless. That doesnt mean you will never have a "use" for them. For...

Oh, i see, so you still get cash for regular trade of those resources. Just that the enemy can too.

How many merchants can be assigned to a resource?
And are we talking about "special" resources here? Not the normal ones right?

Good, it was a useless feature that didnt deserve a button in the interface.
