I know it never will but I think Medieval 3 Total War hsould have an agent type just called Jew LMAO.
That IS basically a type of royal agent in that era... medical, fiscal, espionage, science...
You win by having smarter Jews.
Could even have pogroms be how you wipe them out. March in your priest/monk, whip up a pogrom in the target's castle.


I hate DarthMod's Star Wars autism BTW. I know it is an extremely entitled thing to bitch about (wah this guy that voluntarily made a ton of content but his goofy brand on it wah) but it gives me autism when I boot up my Napoleonic game and I'm greeted with space music. Star Wars fans are a special kind of degenerate.

Legend of Total War update:
  • has not played TW since the last stream
  • has played EU5, but is not happy with Paradox's new patches, and won't do a channel focused on it
  • doing the classic general-to-farmer arc (gardening)
  • intends to return later in 2026 with a new channel
I am more interested in this guy's new project than most of CA's upcoming TW content.

He could have pivoted into other games slowly but surely in the past like a lot of other YouTubers and Streamers did. Him walking away from his big channel was a really odd decision.
At this point with him not switching to Paradox games entirely he might as well stay away for good. Why return unless he needs the money ?

Melkor made this neat comaprison at the end:

Meanwhile Paradox, a company that rivals CA in greed, doubled the map size from CK2 to CK3 and made every faction playable (you have to buy DLC to push the funny buttons).

I don't necessarily have an issue if "only" get all 23 factions that CA showed on stream. More would be cool but to be honest that's not my concern for the game. They could give us 100 factions, and it wouldn't matter if the gameplay both on the strategic map and during the battles is deep as a puddle. The game needs deep and engaging mechanics. And that applies across all factions and especially on an individual level. I don't care about 50 different factions who are differentiated only by color. Factions mechanics and units need to be unique and make a difference. I rather take only six factions at launch if those are completely different from each other. That's what CA historically struggled to achieve even with Warhammer.

I get what you are trying to say but Paradox did that so they can sell us more DLC. We as customers lost when the best comparison we can make is which company might be slightly more inclined to throw us a bone.
 
Both AAA gaming companies can be shit.

It's not that hard to make unique mechanics for a lot of these powers. It's also happy horseshit that they're recycling and upping poly counts of an older game map. They also consistently lowered settlement management over the years.

Paradox is grubbing and forcing people to try and brainlessly take passes for content they stole from fan mods usually. It also doesn't help that the new mechanics added often actively make the game worse as of late.

So yeah both suck ass.
 
Stream is over, they mostly talked about what they are working on and intend to implement into the game. Changes to Archaon, end game crisis, victory conditions, Vampire Counts etc. Reveled Glottkin as the next LL and showed a couple of units. The 8.1 patch is coming next week with the promised improvements to AI among other things. End Times apparently still on track for a Summer release.

What is end dated for Med3 supposed to be?
I can see Seljuks and Jerusalem on their map . So 12th century at the earliest.
Are they really planning to end the game before 13th century or will they try to make Mongol invasion work without large chunk of Eastern Europe. Also no Northern crusades?

I can imagine the Mongol Invasion being a "major DLC"
 
Since Rich Aldridge is involved with the End Times I would assume that it is in an infinitely better state than WH3 at launch or Shadows of Change.
Shadows of Change was such a pathetic failure of a DLC. I don't know how they thought that shit would fly. They still haven't introduced a FLC lord for Tzeentch like all the other DLCs did, who, I should say, should obviously be Egrimm Van Horstmann, with Galrauch as another legendary hero. Seriously, Tzeentch is so underwhelming that I have only played that faction less than five times over the course of multiple years. They better fucking add him. He's been requested for years, easily one of the top five most requested characters.

But I have also heard that The End Times won't be the end of support for TWW3 and that there are likely more DLCs to come. A DoW release would be nice, or an expansion into Kuresh and Ind. Doubt they would actually make factions for them tho.
 
Thanquol confirmed. Hopefully with unique mechanics, not just a rat caster LL



VC finally getting updated, it's been like 20 years since the bloodlines update.

Notibly, converting climate is getting added. Already looking like a massive update, hopefully it's actually playable on launch...
At this point I just desperately want them to work on and expand the base Empire roster. Cathay and Kislev both hilariously power crept them, especially when it comes to line infantry.

His absence is honestly annoying at this point. every other mono-god has a greater demon, LL a herald LL and a Mortal LL.

I suspect its just going to be single lord packs like the white tiger lady after End Times.
