Why does everyone have such a boner for this piece of shit?
Literally the most broken total war in the franchise, more so than empire

>He doesn't enjoy mowing down barbarian scum

Eh it has shitty balance, pathfinding, and some pretty ahistorical elements. It's still perfectly playable and fun like most total wars.

My issue with it is that it's fanbase is the worst out of all of them. So many of them are just shitposters that want to turn every total war thread into an OLD GAME GOOD NEW GAME BAD shitfest.

you can break the game with those barbarian scum
beserker spam with a few units of cavalry and you literally cannot lose

The problem is to get your Hellenic fix you only have Rome or Rome 2. And Rome 2 is boringly easy even with difficulty increasing mods, so that leaves RTW

DeI mod on legendary with macedon is only easy in the end game
the alexander the great mod on legendary is hard as fuck too, because the persian empire spawns doomstacks every few turns

Aight how the fuck do I get myself into Total War games? I heard great as fuck stories about how fun it is but for the life of me i couldnt figure out how to play it at all. Fuck man i even failed the fucking tutorial for fuck sake

t. Seleucid scum

What game do you have?

Medieval, Rome 1 and 2.

>My issue with it is that it's fanbase is the worst out of all of them
Med2's fanboys are definitely worse than Rome's.

I'd probably just start in on R2 unless you're okay with throwbacks, in which case R1 is solid. Start with an easy faction like Rome and buy a mix of units. Horsies hate spears, arrows hate horsies, light units hate arrows, it's all sort of intuitive how one unit is liable to fair against another. At least play until you get to fighting full stacks of decent units. If it's still not clicking, it's probably not going to.

FARMS
also heavy infantry with heavy cavalry (and maybe mounted archers because regular ones are a meme)

Yeah, but Medieval 2 might actually be the best game in the series. It's certainly the pinnacle of oldTotal War style. Shogun 2 is quite a bit different after you play Rome and Medieval 2.

Shogun 2 is based though. I like lots of TW games for different reasons.

Cause larping fascists

You're not invited to my Triumph.

>people saying Rome 1 OST > rome 2 OST
???

You got the bad ones, I'm afraid. People will tell you Med 2 was good but it's a piece of shit so broken that rival factions hate you more for taking towns peacefully than by slaughtering everyone.

Buy three kingdoms.

shogun 2 is when everything goes to shit
>"administracion cost" make the campaing drag on
>everyone declares war on you after taking a number of citys
>no unit collision
>regular army have low morale and hitpoins (a army of elite need like 20 tuns with 5 citys creating them + a really good economy)

Rome 2 probably runs worse than the last three ones, new ones got multicore support. Attila definitely runs like dogshit.

why yes, the famous roman orchestra how did i forget

I still remember the first time I loaded up the game up and saw this intro.

>maybe the children will be quiet tonight
