Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
The enemy gate is destroyed!

Now is the time for brave hearts and brave deeds!
Possibly the best strategy game ever made, errybody loves Medieval II: Total War and it's expansion. Everyone. It's like $10 on steam right now, get it.
I've been playing as Venice. I'm gonna try to actually beat the game and then maybe play as the Danes or the Sicilians. I'm pounding my way against the HRE, Milan (I took Milan and Genoa, they're stuck in two shitty french castles), Hungary, and the Byzantine empire. I'm winning right now thanks to Venetian Heavy Infantry and Dismounted Feudal Knights. I'm also making like 6000 florins a turn because holy crap Venice is in a position to make stacks with enough merchants/merchants guilds.
I hear there are some good mods too
I wanna play the LOTR mod
Who else loves this goddamn game so much

You can just blast through them with a definitive objective
I've always been more partial to Rome: Total War anyway. I'm a huge Rome fanboy and the Barbarian Invasion expansion with the Western Empire was just the right amount of challenge for me.
it's a shithole!
wait, maybe you wouldn't be surprised

I like playing as the Byzantines
It has a nice Rome: Total War feel in a way
You know, the Middle East, the Greeks and Persians (OK, Islamic states but whatever)
I am hopelessly lost and have no idea whatsoever what I'm doing.
And the tutorial didn't help at all, it was just like "here are some menus which will confuse the fuck out of you, now go attack that city!"
and hurl them at your enemies
You can't lose
Oh how quaint...you have armored swordsmen and pikemen. Look at that, some archers...aren't you a big boy. BAM! SUCK CANNON BALLS BITCHES!
but Solar I'm not playing as Russia
You're better off with archers throughout most of the game (well, if you are playing as England anyway)
Also Jot it's that mindset which will lose you this game
Remember
The peasants are only there to hold up your glorious empire. Sacrifice them to your mighty will!
I cried.
despite trying to carefully breed my family to be cool people, i just got increasingly terrible pieces of shit
I loved shit like this
Where I had to bleed sweat and tears for every provicne I took, where those of my men who survived were formed into elite units of savage bastards, where my generals were hardened, tough men who knew who to keep the local population in line.
The parts of the game where you are throwing everything into a war desperate to win, fighting every battle personally to squeeze as many surviving men out as you can, those are the best parts.

This is exactly why I loved playing as the WRE in Barbarian Invasion. You basically get a crumbling empire thrown in your lap along with a countdown: get your shit together before the hordes arrive or die.
I've once beaten the crap out of the vandals with one half stack army filled with Palatine Guard, led by my ''best'' 3-star general. Four stacks of horse archers against that tiny army. If it wasn't for the bridge I was camping on I would've lost my campaign, but even with the bridge it was a hell of a tough fight. They'd pelt me with arrows before charging through, killing half the dudes around. Eventually they'd charge over and give the Guard a ton of experience. I believe all of the units were decimated but with atleast triple silver chevrons at the end of it. The general went from 3 stars to 8, along with a bunch of other combat related traits that made him a godlike figure.
And then he rebelled.
Salaam, Snowbeat.
Worst case scenario I lose a few hours of time and $10.
Then you throw your weak pawn troops at the enemy, specifically trying to knock out their archers or siege weapons. When they feel all good about themselves, then you bring your Immortals in to rape their soul.
