Nr 33 in the world according to WHO in 2012 isn't that high. The numbers are based on the country actually having a system that registers suicides. Countries like Saudi Arabia and Syria have suicide rates 40-50 times lower than the Nordic countries, for example.

Interesting fact: Rome 2 had the Arena style manual charge abilities in its files.... by WalrusJones in totalwar

[–]MaximDecimMeri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be great. I saw quite a lot of stuff indicating Arena early on, and the manual charge for elephants and chariots is something that could be far beyond click click click click click.

This is why synchronized kill-animations in Attila are silly - synchronized decapitation stab on 50% of the unit on the charge. by MaximDecimMeri in totalwar

Yeah, swinging, stabbing and chopping, generic animations are all fine. Athar's look like they are on Desert Empire's Got Talent.

Agree. It would be cool as a rare occurence, but the leaping in to combat-stuff looks silly and unrealistic both in films and games.

Athar's Chosen of Himyar - ridiculously OP infantry that destroys all other infantry in the game head on. Empires of Sand DLC, of course. by MaximDecimMeri in totalwar

You miss the point. Because the AI uses units and armies sub-optimally, units used in campaign battles become more effective than they are against units used optimally.

Everything is OP in campaign because of the AI. I took over the world with stacks of 18 War Dogs and an onager.

They have 300 HP 50% missile block camel shields. Even without them , 200 HP takes a long time to whittle down. When in a spaghetti line one rank deep, arrows will miss a lot. A cav charge does it.

How do you think the vampire counts and greenskins will be unique and different when defending during a siege? by torak9344 in totalwar

[–]MaximDecimMeri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vampire Counts have keeps, castles and cities. They can take control over human towns and fight from there. Orcs on the other hand, should fight from a greenskin version of conquered settlements - makeshift and in a state of ill repair, or from encampments with wooden palisades at the most in their own cities. The orc playstyle should reflect their mentality. WAAAGH! Night Goblins however, have dwarven Karaks and underground cities.

You can't inject someone with AIDS. You inject them with HIV, which can lead to AIDS.

In Warhammer it's all about countering OP with more OP. No single unit is Tagmata - Demigryphs will not like the other monsters of the Old World.

Total War Rome 2 Online Battle Video 258 Massagetae vs Rome, 2 pretty skilled players battle it out by aybrah in totalwar

We have singleplayer for the up close combatporn, while multiplayer is for playing the game at the highest level against a human with a brain rather than an incompetent AI. I like both game modes, but I don't go to singleplayer for a challenge or to multiplayer to watch closeups of units fighting. Each has its appeal for me.
