mitico aun en 2027 warhammer contemporaneo por siempre
I liked it for a while, but it was just because of the WHF aspect. It peaked early and then got worse and worse. And it's never going to get better. This trilogy is slop compared to what this company used to make and they will never make games as good as Rome 1, Medieval, or Shogun ever again.
40 hours into the default human campaign, game's great for a while but the issues keep piling up. Hopefully the newer Total Wars don't have these problems. [list] [*] Camera doesn't zoom out quite far enough to watch the whole battle at once. [*] You can't have the AI take control of your units so you can just watch the battle. [*] There isn't a slow option for watching the other factions' turns (hard to keep track of what's going on). [*] It's goofy that you can see enemy "hero" characters running around causing problems in your kingdom but you can't kill them, apart from attempting assassination with another hero character (~1/3 chance of success, and failure makes them impossible to assassinate for some time). [*] Really needs an option to build bridges to make army movement more efficient. [*] A couple of the races magically move their armies across impassable terrain, very annoying. [*] Game doesn't do a good job of conveying (before you move) swamps and other problematic terrain. [*] You can put your army in marching stance to move farther per turn, at the cost of being tired in battle, which is fine except that the game doesn't let you attack in this stance, so you can't use it to chase down an enemy army or attack a settlement before a defending army gets there. [*] You get too many free garrison units (I'd rather have to keep more small armies). Also annoying I can't put walls on any settlement I want. [*] Can't defensively put siege cannons on walls. [*] When attacking a walled settlement, the towers shoot all the way into your spawn area. [*] It takes too many turns to siege a settlement (you can't leave a good army in one spot for that long). [*] When you defeat a settlement, you can take their money and leave, but if you burn it to the ground you get nothing. [*] You can't colonize certain regions (race-restricted) so they're less rewarding to attack. [*] Army unit cap of 20 is too small (I know it's for performance but they don't need 100 guys per unit). You can have a nearby army reinforce but sometimes it doesn't work (and the maps are kind of too small for bigger battles). When reinforcing does work, the units often come in the map at an inconvenient spot so you can't consolidate your forces and take a good fight. [*] The game doesn't let you have multiple generals in one army, which also contributes to you having to rely on the broken reinforcement feature. If you want to defend a city with 2 armies, one has to wait outside. [*] Ranged units are kind of underpowered in that they won't shoot (for fear of friendly fire?) at enemies in melee combat with your other units, so it can be hard to make them feel cost-effective. [*] Generals and hero characters are too hard to kill. They have as much health as a 100-man unit, but their small surface area generally prevents them from dying quickly even if surrounded. The only way I found was if you can focus fire them with multiple ranged units. If you do get them to route, they usually still get away with the remnants of their army to fight another day. [*] The post-battle screen shows how many kills each unit got, but how much damage they did would be more useful. [*] The "legendary" characters (including your faction leader) can't die, they are only wounded and come back after several turns. [*] The forces of Chaos are OP. Too many armies, if you lose a battle they replenish in your territory, and each army is very tough (too many tanky enemies you can't kill cost-effectively). They kind of ruined my campaign, wish you could disable them. [*] Half the races in the game (which you fight against) are locked behind DLC, but I can't justify buying them with the above issues. Also, each race has several factions but you can only pick between a couple of them. [*] Supposedly my graphics card and CPU aren't maxed out, but I'm not getting 60fps. Not sure what the bottleneck is. [/list]
Super fun if you like controlling armies, using actual battlefield tactics and don't mind long play sessions! There is a fantasy army here for just about everyone.
The Core Game itself is good, it's just the fact that it's such a temperamental ♥♥♥♥♥ (at least in my case). I played it a bit many years ago, now i'm trying to get all achievements and (after Switching to linux) the game has been as reliable as a 60 year old Italian car that's been maintained by a crippled ♥♥♥♥♥♥. sometimes it works, sometimes the launcher won't open, most of the time the DLCs (i have all of them) don't show up. and i have to fiddle with it for close to an hour because the fix i used the last time doesn't work. The linux native build works .......... for about 10 minutes, than it crashes. i haven't found a fix for that (and i don't think i would want to, considering how unreliable it's being). The performance is also somehow worse than the sequels (how that's possible i don't know) TLDR: The CORE game is decent, but an absolute ♥♥♥♥♥ to get it working properly especially on linux
每个派系开场动画很精细,都做得挺有气势的,游戏场景也很巨大,每个派系都挺有显著特色,但是可惜战役模式没啥剧情,打赢了也没啥结局动画,就单纯玩遭遇战差不多,体验下各种派系特色也就完了,ca整成三部曲还dlc居然每个游戏都得买,真是吃相好难看。第一部算体验完了。
The best
Steep learning curve but once you figure it out and lose a lot it is very fun!
好玩爱玩
Одна из лучших игр серии.
