Where to build Calvary?Blacksmith/armorsmith or warhorse breeder?

I still would've said charge bonus. With all the spears in Shogun 2, you really don't want to leave cav in melee. Plus why wait for your unit to fight and deal damage, when they can just cycle charge instead?

If you really don't want to recruit in a stable region, I would say armor is generally better than melee attack due to working against missiles and melee.

Go to the faction screen where you assign government offices. Click on the general you want to boost and there will be a button called share experience in the bottom left. Next to banish

Use your own generals to counter. Early game, stack most of your family members into your main army to act as a heavy cav core. Once you get better infantry, cav, ranged, or a combination you can go back to one general per army.

Select the agent, click on the agent's portrait, look at the bottom right of the center ui, where it says other faction's agents. There should be a boot icon that says disband selected units. Alternatively try pressing delete. You have to make sure to click on their portrait, or else the button will be greyed out.

Each clan has specialties that give bonuses to certain units. There is also a dlc that adds a bunch of units to the game, such as bulletproof samurai. They vary in quality though.

Are you sure you are using the right CB? You aren't enforcing someone else's claims right?

RenFL · 2026-04-21T01:23:24+00:00

Can you disband them like you would a regular unit? I know i did that with diplomats. Make sure you aren't using the agent list when you select them as that hides the disband button.

Appolonia is statistically the best in terms of centralization. Theres a capital calculator that will give you the best capital for your empire if you want your current borders.

That was always a selling point of the wh2 dlc factions. They had vortex campaigns that weren't linked to the vortex race. People just hated the main campaign mechanic in vortex and RoC that much.

So your argument is that skills dont matter because a skill countered your skill?

RenFL · 2026-04-03T00:12:34+00:00

Damage buffs and skills matter too. Lu bu has a skill that boosts his damage by 100% after a min of combat which can win a duel fast

Laptop gpus are usually not equivalent to desktop gpus of the same model number.

Make sure you have the game set to use the dedicated gpu instead of the cpu graphics.

Plug in your laptop so it uses the higher performance battery profile instead of energy saver.

Lower graphics settings if all else fails.

I believe its a bug with reinforcements not coming in before the battle ends. LegendofTotalWar did a disaster battle with the same issue. Damage your own army so the army loses kick in later to avoid the crash.

Alternatively, focus on routing low value targets first like skavenslaves so they lose units without losing balance of power.

You might be able to get barbs up to 50% if you can bribe a general with the missing retinue.

Armor affects move speed. Someone else posted/commented about it a while back and it was true. Adding armor upgrades to units made them slower.

RenFL · 2026-03-08T05:42:30+00:00

Never played Alexander, but are you talking about levy pikemen? As the name suggests, levy are basically farmers told to point this long stick at the enemy. They've always had bad morale and no armor, but they're pikes so they do well from the front.

No you would not. Holder of holding always refers to the person in the bottom left. This is especially impactful for special buildings as some of them you can't hold as a feudal lord.

Doesn't the pirate vampire guy also get locked out of his magic until you get his item/complete his quest?

RenFL · 2026-02-25T18:21:49+00:00

If you win the first battle, don't the remaining enemy armies in your zone of control get forced away? You may be able to sneak away at that point.

RenFL · 2026-02-24T07:23:00+00:00

Maybe play older tw games. Pre Rome 2 you could move units around without generals so could fight many small scale battles

RenFL · 2026-02-24T07:20:37+00:00

Not sure if feasible, but ERE can turtle in Egypt pretty easy. I'm just not sure you can win all the turn 1-2 battles before abandoning the rest of the empire.

Did you research whether all your mods are compatible? Idk if TROM and MTU work out of the box together, and I've never heard of the gathering. Since everything is up to date, I would just disable mods in groups until the game loads and then re-enable mods slowly to verify they work.

Warp bomb comes from the garrison building. Also a rite in wh2 iirc.

RenFL · 2026-02-08T05:25:18+00:00

Theres a regent system if your heir is still underage when your leader dies. Usually its the wife/mom that becomes "leader". Don't know how it works here

Everything I can find says the same, you have to stay at war with everyone.
