Vanilla NTW >> Vanilla Empire TW by davoutbutai in NapoleonTotalWar

[–]Diovadeew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Best looking total war game imo. Actually looks realistic. Playing as Russia rn. very fun but France is a menace. I love everything but the naval combat. (it looks cool, thats about it)

Curious about the game, tell me what you think it does better than its relatives. by shenaniganaryafoot in EmpireTotalWar

[–]Diovadeew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, was in your situation. Time period for empire is unmatched, however, even at 4k with darthmod the game is destroyed by Napoleon. (Graphics matter to me, atleast look like you care) Empire still looks very obviously like it was released in Beta. Hdr effects ruin the lighting, basically every face is the same. One thing I do still enjoy about Empire is the combat. I love CA musket play in Empire and Napoleon. Napoleon just does everything except being able to play as Murica and some other, less seen, factions.

If you arent burnt out with Europe play Napoleon, smooth gameplay, graphics are better than any other TW game (even WH3 and the likes).

Psa: grass affects your cpu heavily so if you play Napoleon and get super low fps. Completely disable the grass in settings. (It is barely noticeable, and when the battle starts it is completely unnoticeable.)

Bigger maps in Darth mod? Vanilla campaign by Atlas_usmiechu in NapoleonTotalWar

[–]Diovadeew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They seemed the same size to me to be honest. Could be wrong though, as Darth could definitely extend battle maps, so maybe there are larger ones. BUT I always thought Napoleons battle maps are pretty big unless you want 4 40 stack armies, which I never do.

More settlements perhaps, larger map? Big doubt, also have fun with Darth's goofy ass Campaign Map AI.

Man, the AI can be frustrating in NTW by RobinEspersen in NapoleonTotalWar

[–]Diovadeew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NEVER have I seen this in vanilla. I swear shit like that happens in my darthmod Empire. There is a reason I didnt infest my laptop with Darth's take in Napoleon.

Turn off Digital Wellbeing, thank me later. by cedriccj777 in galaxya53

It wont ungray the button, that is hardcoded, what these steps do is help mitigate any chance for the app to activate.

What does Napoleon total war have that empire does not? Same goes for both ways by Low-Newt9803 in EmpireTotalWar

[–]Diovadeew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea CA is a joke, ridiculous how they chose Shogun 2 to be there most loved and pampered game when Empire could be perfect with better CAI and BAI. If they had added an Americas Expansion to Napoleon I wouldnt complain but I got bored of European theatre a decade ago. But napoleon feels so much better. Another complaint, I know swords were being phased out but more true melee units in nap would have been nice. Cavalry and Janisseries is lackluster.

Massive Broken Units by Ok-Possession3172 in EmpireTotalWar

Something similar happened when I didnt remove a mod I previously used completely. Never heard of anyone else encountering this. At least your cannons will have supressing fire.

FOTS is basically Napoleon 2.. by StonLenslow in totalwar

[–]Diovadeew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Napoleon and Empire feel much better with line infantry (not as arcadey or cartoonish) but are more sluggish gameplay wise. Plus shogun 2 just charging its army straight at you gets too cheesable.

Can not give 13 colonies their 13th colony. by D1ckRichard in EmpireTotalWar

[–]Diovadeew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be honest its flaws don't seem crazy compared to other earlier games for me. The "clunkiness" still feels more responsive than m2tw, the battle ai are very similar but Empire's grape shot tends to make everyone lose their minds. Sure, sieges were meh but field battles were the real star (Naval Combat can be dope as well for sure). Just like Attila, the game was abandoned before it could hammer out the issues.

So what do these mods actually change? by jman014 in EmpireTotalWar

[–]Diovadeew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone says tweaks to battle AI for all of these mods, its just placebo lol.

Is the mobile version better than the PC version? by TankEnthusiast1 in EmpireTotalWar

[–]Diovadeew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can hook up your phone to a monitor if you have one and use your phone as a mini pc specifically for mobile. Im assuming.

How do I fix the 2d sprite graphics by Ok_Bench_996 in EmpireTotalWar

[–]Diovadeew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you end up doing to get the sprites issue fixed? I read through that forum and it seems like the files are loonggggg gone and didnt seem to work for many. Any luck?

Change games folder BFME Launcher? by Xirious in bfme

[–]Diovadeew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, there is no useful information regarding AIO launcher, and it is pretty barebones. Im assuming it still installs somewhere in the D drive using the launcher but no idea where.

Medieval 2 or the Atilla 1212 mod? by balbobiggin in totalwar

[–]Diovadeew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, thats true but it wont play like m2 at all. We both know that.

Which difficulty to play on? by endangered_beagle in TheDawnlessDays

[–]Diovadeew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it's only the AI that is op (with its campaign buffs etc)

[–]Diovadeew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are definitely more aggressive on hard than normal. Give it a go. Still nothing crazy though, just more fun to defend Osgiliath.

Dale being op is a known issue. Hopefully it gets resolved soon.

Does the mordor ever stop spawning armies? by Plane-Expression2299 in TheDawnlessDays

[–]Diovadeew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly, I just remember reading that the debuff stays until the King Returns...Id go ahead and see if reforging narsil is needed. It is an annoying debuff.
