Exactly, diplomatic missions to expand are helping. Initially, several factions gave me settlements (none included a Mediterranean port, which I was hoping for) - after that, I haven't got lucky and...

Voted - I agree, it's a difficult choice.

Brilliant picture - and thanks for hosting the competition!

I enjoy playing minor nations, like Greek colonies and African kingdoms. When you're a small country with bigger nations nearby, it makes sense (at least to me) to make friends and allies. In my...

Uusally, I go north against the nearest Gauls until I hold the territory on the Italian side of the mountain passes (and maybe Illyria) and before going for Carthage (or possible somewhere else,...

It's the House of Cornelia for me too, as I enjoy trying different auxiliary units and (as you said) their auxiliaries have cheaper upkeep.

Great update - the brutality of melee combat comes across powerfully in Zaadi's encounter with the startled boy, and I was on the edge of my seat when the man ran for the citadel, and the archers...

After decisive victories on land and sea, it sounds like the Battle of Genova was a bruising encounter for the Sicilian army.

It looks like the peace treaty with Genoa will provide a huge benefit...

Wow, a lot has been happening in this tale! I'm enjoying the mystery around the amulet, and evocative phrasing such as "Neither the Elves nor the Dragons will save them" - nicely done!

The Dark Hunters sound pretty lethal. I'm intrigued by the descriptions of the occult groups - the Coalition call them terrorists, perhaps others see them differently.

Do the victory conditions affect how you plan your campaigns? Do you choose one of the victory conditions (military, economic or cultural) at the start and plan for that, or do you just play the...

Thanks, I'd be interested in seeing any photos or videos from the Experimenting the Sarissa event, if anyone knows where to access them.

Congratulations to our very talented winner, ggggtotalwarrior!

Thanks to Caillagh for hosting the competiton and to Kilo and all who voted.

Don't forget to check out TotW 301: Nighthawks.

Amazing maps!

Voted, great pictures!

I agree, they're heading in the right direction and I'd like it if they went faster.

Good idea about not making the choice between siege battles and field battles random, in a minor settlement....

The Warhammer III roadmap was revealed today.

Are the proposed fixes in 1.2 and 1.3 the ones you'd like to see? I like the sound of a fix for the tendency of AI factions to target the player even...

It's interesting to see how people's preferences vary. I imagine that you preference is a popular one - of course, Warhammer II's minor settlement battles are open field battles (unless the...

Voted, good luck!

Voted, good luck!

Voted, good luck!

Amazing pictures, congratulations to spiderknight, RafSwi and manoul, and thanks to RawfSwi for hosting the competition!

This sounds like a dangerous situation for the Sicilian Republic - facing the combined strength of the Papal States, Genoa, Sardinia and Venice, and also Spain, a major power. I wonder if there is...

Trotskevich does sound dangerous - and presumably difficult or impossible to arrest for breach of the Convention of 2285, as the commander of the League troops.

Warhammer III re-introduces minor settlements for minor settlement battles - what do you think of them?

I wondering if players agree with Zerkovich that it would be better if the ratio of...

Yes, welcome to the Study from me as well, and this is a very good start!

It sounds like the training by Pontikas is much-valued and that Mithridates is a good planner, taking into account the...

Yes, good work on the knights!

Cool units, particularly the shields!

While it's true that there are some neo-Nazis in Ukraine and that this is a problem, the references to Azov look like an attempt to distract people from the facts that, in Ukraine 2019 ...

Correct! According to George C. Daughan's excellent book If by Sea: The Forging of the American Navy from the Revolution to the War of 1812, the capture of the Macedonian was the only time that a...

What do Empire Total War players think of the way that sea warfare is represented in the game?

I'm enjoy Age of Sail sea battles and, while I know that they're not everyone's cup of tea, I think...

That's a wonderful painting. It's difficult to distinguish one single-ship frigate battle from another - particularly when both engagements involved similar ships (in particular, the British warships...

35 points is an impressive record and I look forward to seeing more people achieve medals!

These are brilliant pictures, congratulations to RafSwi and manoul, and thanks to RafSwi for hosting the...

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll watch his video with interest.

You're right that 24-pounders are at work here, however they aren't the USS Constitution and the HMS Gurriere. The Guerriere was...

Thanks, PourCoco, and welcome to TWC!

I don't know why DM prevents this from working - my guess is that Darthmod has its own version of the same database table which this mod uses, but that's...

In our poll so far, Kislev is the most popular faction to play first (although with Patch 1.1, CA have done as Heir of Carthage suggested, and replaced Kislev with Cathay as the recommended first...

While Medieval fans have been waiting the longest and in fairness Medieval 3 should come first, I agree with Mr Longbowman that it would be great to see the technological progression from the 1500s...

Welcome back, it's good to see you, and to find out what happened next.

That's a very unexpected event involving the prisoner. Maybe Uliaris didn't draw his bow fully, because he was firing so...

Thanks, I was wondering who the jumping figure was! That's a wonderful picture.

It might not be difficult to name one of the vessels taking part in this rather one-sided frigate engagement.
...

That's a remarkable history for a ship, even in a period when it seems to have been fairly common for ships to be captured and used by a different navy.

Is one of these ships the Cumberland?
