But if your running smaller armies to be more spread out you just get rolled when a doom stack shows up. | ||

Part of the appeal was that eventually we will have the entire map unlocked with all the factions and a multiplayer campaign in that setting would have been amazing. But looking into it it seems TW has never supported more than 2 player campaign and even then it has always had issues (even when I tried to do one today I could never load into the game, we would launch and then it would 'load' according to the progress bar, but then just take me right back to the lobby and tell my friend that I left). Been playing coop nonstop since release, no problems so far. Once in a blue moon i get a disconnect, load from autosave, and move on. About the barracks. It's kind of tricky, you always have to look what buildings will require more than III on your province's capitals and plan ahead. For example, dwarfs i know i want one province for melee crap, and another for ranged crap. Oh, and the best to build first is growth. Always, later you can stop to drop them, but it should be your first building most of the time, as + growth, faster upgrade to lvl II the whole province then move on into money. | ||

It's quite interesting. I know there is the whole "easy, normal, hard" difficulties thing, but it kinda feels like it adapts to how well you're doing, and gets harder if you're doing better, while getting easier if you're not. | ||

I tried a Greenskins campaign on Hard difficulty with the restriction that the only units I could train are Goblins or Goblin related (trolls allowed). Unfortunately as soon as you start WAAAGH-ing, Greenskins are a train with no brakes, game is deathly easy. Even if you never make a single Orc unit. I played a tiny bit of Warriors of Chaos but they're boring. I dislike horde factions in general (can't group up stacks without trouble, losing a battle = losing a significant piece of your empire, not me thing) so I stopped quickly. Archaon's a baller though. The Vampire Count campaign (Very Hard difficulty) has been a fucking rollercoaster though. Vamps can't mass expand since they're hamstrung by several factors. Firstly Public Order's extremely difficult to maintain because they have to corrupt territories and the ai loves deploying the anti corruption police to all your regions. Recommend training up Banshees with Assassination talents to kill them all. Empire are absurd, they'll have 12 or so Heroes running about, the fuckers. Second, you're surrounded by enemies and you cannot make friends. VC's have huge penalties to everyone that's not also a vampire. And since you'll probably devour the 2 neighbouring Vamp factions you're not going to find anyone to use those trade goods with. So what's happened is that I slowly grew out my borders, swallowing up a few minor empire Factions. Then Chaos showed up and left vast tracts of colonizeable space. 15 colonisations later (I defeated Chaos too, single handed, Mannfred Von Carstein: saviour of the Old World) and I've got to take on the military alliance of Dwarves, Empire and Bretonnians. Game's pretty good! | ||

Damn that's a pretty lengthy run, i am intrigued sir. So many games to play these days, hard to pull the trigger when a week or two has a new one your interested in! 1st world problems right here. | ||

which they really should fix, this game is about the battles but for achievement hunting you would probably almost never do a battle manually. | ||

That is certainly not the case for the Vampire Counts. I lose way way more on autoresolve, esp Valgulfh lose almost all their hp every time. | ||

Not a ways a way in front of me. I mean literally right in front of me. Is this an ambush stance or some shit? Trees can hide units? Else I don't know. You can hide armies on the campaign map but there is no ambush on the battle map outside of hiding in trees or out of LoS. Could be a wierd hill? | ||

Chaos campaign on legendary should be renamed to Total war : Benny Hill ... It's hilarious how the AI goes crazy chasing weak armies if they are on war with you... they come from the other side of the world just to club the baby seal hordes you just created for fucks sake. | ||

-It's a little difficult to reinforce your armies. The global reinforce is nice, but if I want to build units in my main province then walk them out to the main army, I don't really have any choice but to have a lord handhold them out. -Runes and Banners don't stay on the units from battle to battle. I think they should at least give a prompt if you forget so you don't go into battle without them. | ||
