Did you miss TW:3K? It was only a couple years ago.
Yes, it had war elephants (in the Nanman DLC), but no, the Han never used elephants in battle.

Troy is honestly the only one of the non-WH games where I feel the combat got too "arcadey," but that's likely a consequence of a new studio trying to use the Warhammer tech for things it wasn't...
That description applies to a lot of warfare. Any time that standing armies aren't around, you're often relying on peasants either conscripted or hastily organized into a militia.
The violent...
New Kingdom Egypt was significantly more organized and better developed than the Myceneans, so their walls being significantly better isn't surprising. Their monument building was testament to their...
The thing to keep in mind about 3K was that public perception of its era is highly skewed by the Romance of Three Kingdoms novel. Hence, 3K's source material was more the traditions that spawned out...
Every historical title has anachronisms. The question is how this informs the gameplay style. The pre-order bonus mentions bodyguard units and we've seen the return of Rome 2/Attila style ladders, so...
So a couple campaigns in, and it's a pretty interesting experience.
Played Cathay because of course for me :tongue:. Campaign pacing is very different from past games. Since the narrative victory...
It's played by approximately 40,000 people at any given time. Hard to figure out how many unique people that comes out to every month. There are still the few people playing Troy on EGS and few still...
Unfortunately, no. The form launcher hasn't been part of the assembly kit since Warhammer. You will have to edit startpos through tables.
data.pack -> script/campaign contains the script files that you'll need to look through
There's a lot of them, so be warned.
Weight is a modifier placed on the outcome of a function. In...
If there's any ratio for spawning characters, I imagine it's in the character_generation_template table, but I don't believe there's a separate one for generic ones spawned by events. If you change...
So most recruitment rules are based around on reforms, general level, and general class. A reform will first unlock the unit for recruitment across the faction. However, in order to unlock that unit...
Its worth remembering that Rome 2 was essentially put into EoL at the end of 2014 to make way for Attila, and then resurrected at the end of 2017 when Attila didn't take off and CA Sofia came on...
I doubt this has to do with resources for other products. The 3K new content team is rather small, for a company as large as CA. Moving them around wouldn't do much, and throwing people onto a...

Bit of a strange announcement. It almost sounds like they're planning a standalone expansion.
I was curious what it meant when they fixed the Mount Song placement in the beta...
It will be a bit. There seems to be a few issues reported in the recent beta, and CA might fix them on the beta patch before rolling over into live. For now, it seems that SFO is compatible with the...
Well those are certainly some interesting numbers. CA usually relies more on base game sales than DLC sales, but for WH2 to make so little money on DLC compared to its base game sales a year after...
Unfortunately, no. There hasn't been console commands available in Total War since the change to TWEngine3.
The best way might be to force vassalize and annex him. If he's equipped any of his...
There are a LOT of files that will need to be modified to create an entirely new faction. If you're just modifying an old one, things are a bit simpler to track down. It would be useful to know how...
There isn't an existent entry for debuffing morale for the attacker during a night battle. There is a debuff for fatigue though, which indirectly ties into morale.
campaign_variables_table ->...
If the next historical title that they're hiring for is Medieval 3 or some kind of Pike and Shot, I really hope that someone remasters Empire in the near future. That game has so much potential from...
I find it incredibly unlikely that there won't be some amount of porting required for RTW mods even if the basic modding structure is mostly the same. The addition of optional features, new...
Well, watching the streams has been interesting. I'll probably get used to the UI after a little bit (never played the mobile port), and a lot of the QoL changes like the camera are certainly...
The UI is going to be divisive. Looks like they're using the style of the mobile version, obviously scaled for PC.
Watching the Twitch chat, it seems like lots of people forgot what unmodded Rome...

A good breakdown video by Serious Trivia.
On a personal note, I'm really annoyed at the misrepresentation of the Northern Army. I don't mind the whole colonel as an ancillary...
SeriousTrivia actually has a good breakdown on what's going on on the board in that scene at about the 4 minute mark here:

Trailer is really bad. Shame. Eight Princes and Mandate of Heaven are some of the best Total War trailers to date. Been downhill ever since.
So characters revealed either on the Steam page,...
It's a more general problem with the way the Nanman are portrayed across Asian media. The popular "rocks on sticks" savage motif was popularized by legends and the Romance novel due to a combination...
This isn't a hotfix. It's a very large free patch to go along with the DLC that changes the map for all start dates. CA were very clear that the new version wouldn't be save compatible. See here:...
Big cats can't fully suppress their predatory instincts. While it would be possible to train them to a certain standard, to the point where they can form a connection with their handler, they're...
Apparently Wei Yan was present in the SGYY southern campaign. I had completely forgotten about that, and I can't recall if Yan Yan was there.
And yes, it's just Han units for Sĩ Nhiếp. No unique...
There will be an update shortly after the launch of the Nanman DLC.
There are rules in fiction. Try putting in a beardless Guan Yu, see how well that goes over with the target audience. The rules are often different, but fiction relies on a grounding in some sort of...
It was pointed out on the subreddit that someone probably confused him with Yan Yan.
More frustratingly, Shi Xie apparently has no unique units, meaning the Nanyue basically don't exist in game,...
Honestly, one of the biggest markets 3K has right now is Korea. Every steam, there's a bunch of Koreans asking for a Korea expansion. Lots of Korean streamers as well.
There's a sizable TW:3K...
I definitely agree that the lack of things to achieve is a big problem with 3K. Something that most long strategy games have on offer is some kind of intermittent goals for the player to accomplish...
There has always been a certain amount of fiction/legend/myth in these games. All that really changed was how much and how central it was.
What concerns me isn't the presence, but the reliance....
Some interviews I think help illuminate various things:

The references to variety and...
They've mostly fixed that. I didn't spot any remaining commanderies that were still named after cities or provinces, except for Luoyang, which is still called Luoyang, even though everything else got...
