Warhammer Total War Confirmed

[Crippled Potato]

Few things I noticed:

The distance you have to travel to some of the quests is mad. Such a long distance taking attrition the whole way (Vampire Counts). Then no doubt having to fight a battle at the end of it, vs probably a powerful army.

Huge garrisons seem common, usually means you are fighting 2 stacks when trying to take a settlement. And if you try and besiege them, and another army shows up, you are fighting 3 stacks.

Very difficult to expand with 1 army, as you leave your home area defenceless.

You can pay a chunk of gold to teleport your army directly to the quest and back if you are finding the distance to be a problem.

Had a go last night but finding it all a bit meh

For me the graphics are really disappointing, doesn't look as nice as Rome 2 imo. The tutorial guy, mission descriptions, event descriptions etc are so vague as to be useless at times. Just finding it really hard to get into.

e: I'm not a TW noob either! Been playing them since the first Rome.

Actually doing a Co-op campaign with a friend, I find it a lot more fun when it comes to smashing enemies

I'm a little disappointed with the graphics to be honest. I need to give it another go, only played a couple hours so far.

Well I've tried as Vampire Counts -> got owned by Chaos. Tried as Greenskins -> got owned by Dwarfs .

 

[Drollic]

Decided to give this a go given I paid so little for Doom. I don't think I've played an RTS type game since Red Alert 2

For anyone interested, running the game in windowed (it's borderless) and enabling vsync works like a charm.

If it's the intro battle there is only a couple of units that are yours to control.

Has anyone tried it on an AMD CPU?

I would like to pick it up but feel a bit hesitant only having a FX8350

You shouldn't have an issue on overclocked CPU, also it will have its DX12 patch soon, so it will lower your CPU overhead.

Think it looks good to me, using my sweetfx profile here: https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/5639/

Trying an Empire campaign at the moment and literally cannot beat the secessionist. They can attack me with three armies (I only have one) twice. They'll wipe me out the first fight, then before I even start the next turn they are attacking me again.

I can't recruit enough units to do anything to them without just having to sit there clicking next turn for 15 minutes while they run around raiding my other towns.
