    Default Witing for 1.6

    I just gave up my teutonic campaign because of the "balanced" units:



    As you see this unit has a shield oh wait it doesn't...



    But this unit has no shield oh wait it has.

    Who decides on the invisible shields and the visible non existent shields?

    If a discrepancy between a number on a form and a picture ruins a game for you, then all i can say is.... well, actually i dont know what to say.

    Iqta'Dar have got visible (but somewhat tiny) shields and haven't got any shield points either.
    It think it's just an oversight.

    Haha, they finally get the Umlaut and the German -er plural right, but write "Knechte" declinated :P

    The mistakes (and deliberate fictions such as the cannon elephants) ruin the immersive feel of the game for me. Given the enormous increases in computing and graphics power in the intervening years and the time to improve the AI, M2TW should be much better than MTW, but it isnt.

    In Americas Campaign it's also whimsical. The Chicimecs have shields but get no bonus while their neighbours the Tarascans get the shield bonus while the shields look exactly the same. Hmmm the only explanation I can come up with is that my warriors bear shields made of cheese (brie?) to fool their enemies. Lame really

    ??? You must have me confused with someone else - i've never played EB, and i'm not really one of those people who is obsessed with historical accuracy.

    Also, i cant figure out what that stereogram is supposed to be - looks like some sort of cave or something... but at least i have a headache now, so that's good.

    Anyhow, it wasnt the rant that i was commenting on, so much as quitting an entire campaign because a picture doesnt match a number. With all of the bugs in the total war series over the years, if details that small annoy you that much i'm amazed youre still buying the games. I thought it was a given that to be a fan of the series you have to have a relaxed attitude to things like this. Otherwise its kinda like going to rap concerts every weekend even though you hate rap music.

    While it doesnt "ruin" my game experience, i feel its sad not to have accurate unit stats. While we could of course mod the game, i hope we'll have those units corrected in the next patch.

    A bit off topic but you started it... So? What is the stereogram actually meant to be?

    A couple of guesses:

    a) the pink one from the Monster Munch, sticking his tongue out while holding his mouth open with his hands.
    b) a gentlemen bending forwards with his hands holding his brown eye open.

    I'm stumped.

    I think some of the txt files are a bit off, as the welsh I can build three cannon factories:

    first :

    3x bombard

    second:

    3x bombard
    3x mortar
    3x organ gun

    third:

    3x bombard
    3x mortar
    3x mortar
    3x culverin

    notice something weird?

    Also as the teutonic order the mangonels disappear with the siege building that can build trebuchets.

    LOL, I just got it, it's the "goatse man". Type that into google if you have yet to experience this disgusting internet legend, the hero of all immature internet goers.

    Looks like option "b".

    This isn't really an appropriate place for solicitation, Gaius. Kids here and all. But don't worry, you'll find someone.
