I like shogun 2 more idk why
Shogun 2 doesn't really sit well with me for some reason. Now, it ain't a bad game. I just don't like it as much as the other titles.
For me its just the way you recruit in shogun 2 that makes it that much better to be my fav
and the build too i guess
Also its the same with hoi4 and eu4 with me
because shogun2 and hoi4 are easier than attila and eu4
I've never played eu4 or hoi4. Though I have played Crusader Kings II.
thats way harder than eu4 i hear
Play as Byzantium and you'll rip your hair out.
ik
Apparently it's almost impossible to survive as Byzantium.
I rip my hair out in any country from ck2 or eu4
I lose to euros as the ottomans
IN EU4
lmoa
What I love about Attila tho is that it's an entirely different kind of Total War game.
Essentially you gotta build high and not wide.
That's how you gotta play the WRE at the beginning. Shit is difficult but I surpassed it and even beat Attila on open field.
How
they start you as the goths
ya know
the people in a civil war and about to get killed by the huns
It should start you out as the Saxons or the Franks tbh.
They're the easiest factions to play, mostly because everybody loves you and you don't start out in a war.
If you play the Saxons you have the Angles as your client state.
also what do you mean build high?
You know how you paint the map in Shogun 2? How you conquer each province and try to get wider and wider and engulf everything in your path? In Attila you can do that, but the gameplay will fight you tooth and nail early to mid game. Especially as the WRE & ERE. What I learned is that I needed to upgrade Italia only and defend it. I began building as much as I could and invested a lot of money (and I mean a lot of fucking money) into sanitation and overall public order, including agricultural buildings.
You get to the point where each turn is like 10 minutes long with you just thinking what'd be good for the next 10 turns.
so \
basically you fortify the shit out of one place and wait until your enemies are exhausted then you attack?
Yep.
thats what playing high is?
If you want to build high, and slowly broaden out, that's the way to do it.
It's a slow process but you'll steamroll everything after turn 60.
Yeah
thats how you kill nations bigger than you on hoi4
Wouldn't surprise me. Though i'd expect a lot more political nonsense brought into the mix though.
@A Pesky Sæxon Actually hoi4 is very simple and more army based
than eu4 or ck2
