Watching shock cavalry actually work realistically after so much Total Warhammer is amazingly cathartic. Being hit by nearly a thousand pounds of horse (plus the rider and armor) at a gallop, being literally sent flying, and then being invincible while on the ground and just getting up like nothing happened is possibly the stupidest design decision in video game history.

@BetaDude40 Ай бұрын

To be fair both of those cav units have the disadvantage of sucking completely in melee after the charge, so you pretty much have to micro them to not suffer catastrophic losses. Warhammer it just feels like you're slapping them with a wet noodle

@darkrite9000 Ай бұрын

Yeah, monstrous cav and monsters tend to be better on the charge, but unless you're playing bretonnia then there's not much reason to use normal cav for most factions. They're still viable, just not ideal. I think if the charge bonus was higher, and most normal heavy cav got unstoppable charge via tech or rank 7 or higher lord skill, it'd make most cav more viable. And then for units that should be basically butchering cav or be unfazed by cav, you would give them an aoe passive ability that removes unstoppable charge or lowers charge bonus by a decent amount. There are a lot of things to consider when it comes to Warhammer to making things fun, lore friendly, and balanced. Did CA do a decent job, I'd argue yes, did they do a great job, I'd argue not really, there's obviously some issues, but there's problems in every total war, none of them are perfect. It's just sad that we often times see innovations made and then not see those carried forward.

@user-ve3rf8eh6b Ай бұрын

Looking at all the mechanics during the Jerusalem fight really makes be sad that we don't have those in Warhammer 3. The city has MULTIPLE layers of walls and gates! The ladders not spawned out of thin air! You can control your ally's army! What else are we missing? Is there a way to fortify minor settlements to turn them into actual defensible positions instead of being a blatant vulnerability you can do nothing about?

@Bob2854 Ай бұрын

You can kinda fortify city’s in two ways A. Just building walls which scale with the settlement level (ie you need enough people to upgrade the settlement level which also upgrades walls(cities get one super wall and castles get multiple)) B. Put some forts around the city probably on roads to slow down* and reduce their force by a large amount even if they have siege equipment.

@TheDirtysouthfan Ай бұрын

Part of it is AI, but also because these sieges get old fast. It can be tense and tactically compelling, but they're really slow and repetitive. I think Attilas were the best overall. Best balance of modern and old siege design

@seekerofalice9787 Ай бұрын

Probably because of the variety in WH as opposed to medieval. in the latter there is really just varieties of infantry, archers, and Calv, and the AI for each catagory can be broadly similar. Now in TWW there is infantry, archers, calv, monstrous infantry, flying units, spellcasters, single entity ranged units, single entity melee units, super enormous single entity units, monstrous units ect. ALl of those require different AI behaviors, so minimizing the number of possible siege scenarios is much easier than wrangling the AI to work with everything, seeing as how honestly it doesn't even handle regular field battles that well.

Being a vassal can actually be very advantagous in Medieval 2. You aren't really held back like you are in later games, you basically just give them a portion of your income. The main reason it's great is because it's the only way in Medieval 2 to instantly end a lot of ongoing wars, as whoever you're at war with peaces out automatically if they are at peace with your overlord. There are no real "alliances" in Medieval 2, the AI will just do whatever it wants, there are only Non-Aggression pacts masquerading as alliances. Being a vassal is even stronger than that, and so you can then free up forces to fight elsewhere.

4:50 being able to command your allies is really awesome until you throw theirs units to be killed by enemy and then with your nearly unscratched your units would stab your ally into the back. It's actually a standard problem from PC game called STARS. Player B is strong and has dominance over player A, or player B, and if he continues, he wins the game. Thus player A and player C allies together and send fleets to place to together stop fleet of player B. Now what would happen when player A fleet arrives for some reason one turn late? Fleet of player C was obliterated, but fleet of player B was heavily mauled and he wasn't able to repair heavy damage until fleet of Player A arrived. Then fleet of player A kills heavily damaged fleet of player B. This create interesting shift of power balance. Player C and player B don't have any fleet, but player A does. And thus player A wins the game. Perhaps it was real accident, perhaps he didn't carefully position his pieces until all he had to do was the above. (Now imagine if AI would be able to do this to you.)
