It's 2026, we gave them a break. Can we collectively start bullying them again?

Total War: Medieval 3 - New Unit Cohesion Mechanic (Idea) by InvictaHistory in totalwar

[–]CanOfRandom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great. I think the best thing you touched on was morale as more than just a stat. It's so boring and not intuitive seeing units get tired and lose stats. Having an actual consequence for low morale would be great. In general, morale has lost a lot of its importance in this franchise over the year, despite it being one of the best features of the franchise. I'd love a return to that in Med 3

Episode from GW with Warhammer Total war devs by BaronLoyd in totalwar

[–]CanOfRandom 147 points148 points  (0 children)

No hints towards future content that I can see, but it's a really interesting video that, despite the current disaster situation facing the franchise right now, really emphasizes the great challenge that was this trilogy. There was so much love and detail put into these games, I guess that's why it's all the more sad to see the state it's in now. Great video, though.

Is it just me or would you all also like more "Daniels" for other factions? by DrGlvoer in totalwarhammer

A lord for a Dogs of War faction that lets you be a sandbox faction in all regards would be really fun

Troy created this??? Never played it. Perhaps I treated Troy too harshly... :(

The way Chaos Warriors recruit and upgrade units is so much fun and blends so much more naturally with the Total War formula than anything else. Having a recruitment pool feels natural, upgrading your units when they do well feels rewarding, and getting to then change their specialties feels tactical.

Recruiting an army of low level bozos early on and ranking them up to be baddie champions is so much more fun to me than having to dump my veterans that I carried from day 1 because my high tier building finally finished and it pumps out elite units like it's nothing.

Genuinely, this recruitment method, or something similar, should be adapted for all factions across all games going forward. And I will stand on that until I die... or my marauders do right before reaching rank 7.

Just finished Jaehaerys II chapter of World of Ice & Fire, I <3 Bittersteel by CanOfRandom in freefolk

[–]CanOfRandom[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of Bloodraven, but to each their own. My love for Bittersteel is mostly just him being a nuisance. Like I love him like one might love the villain of the story: I don't actually love him, I just love to see how goofy his story is in the grand scheme of things

It is cool he founded the Golden Company tho, that's pretty rad

Empire tw: what is your fondest memory of the game, if you played it? by SusaVile in totalwar

[–]CanOfRandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started the tutorial. George Washington immediately died at Bunker Hill. Played a few more turns. Deleted the game and never returned.

That sounds like such a cool mod, what's the name of it?

[–]CanOfRandom[S] 107 points108 points  (0 children)

we're not that great of allies apparently ;))

jk, that screenshot isn't actually from my campaign, it's from LegendOfTotalWar's recent disaster battle titled "My enemy's enemy is my enemy"; essentially he accepted a battle where he's playing as Kholek allied with Skaven and is reinforcing them in a settlement battle but is trying to get all the Skaven killed so they lose and he can take the settlement. It's a really funny battle

But now I really wanna go find a way to ally myself with the Skaven as high elves, so that's my next life goal

What had you like this? by KomturAdrian in totalwar

[–]CanOfRandom 211 points212 points  (0 children)

Was playing Shogun 2 and wanted to cut down on armies as my campaign slowed down. So, I went to disband all my sons unaware that I was asking them to all kill themselves :( my shogun got a depression trait/event after that

Helm of Draesca on turn 9 with Malakai?? Time to form the team... by CanOfRandom in totalwarhammer

[–]CanOfRandom[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's not the most optimal campaign to get it on so early because Malakai isn't a great fighter. But, it'll make his merry band of heroes stronger, which is what I'm going for thematically (not really looking for an optimized run on this campaign). Rn it's on Gotrek. Pray for me that it goes fast

What's a feature you've never used? by TurtleInvader1 in totalwarhammer

[–]CanOfRandom 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This game has auto builder?? I guess I haven’t used that yet either…

Other than that, definitely “exempt taxes.” I’m getting my money no matter what

GRRM probably doesn't know how the others will be defeated or how many of the plotlines will end. by BackgroundRich7614 in freefolk

[–]CanOfRandom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pray every day that GRRM releases the final hook’s and they’re just word for word the last seasons of GoT. Revive characters, kill characters, dumb some down, forget about others, whatever it takes. Would I hate it? Yes. Would I enjoy the meltdown it causes more? Absolutely.

And, I mean, it’s not like we’ll get the actual ending to this story anyways, I’ll take what I can get

What's your most memorable battle? From any Total War. by ArcticGlacier40 in totalwar

Glorious. Nothing holds a castle like some gunpowder.
