*Kneels before Cacame*

[Egan_BW]

Goddammit Toady, what are you doing? Next you'll make it so that dwarves and elves can fall in love with each other and have children.

It's funny because that's literally a planned feature. In Threetoe's stories, at least, but probably in the dev notes too.

[Teneb]

Finished the Argwyllon campaign on VH/VH. So that's another race down. Only ones remaining are Bretonnia and Norsca, but I don't own Norsca.

Total War: Warhammer.

Just assassinated the pope, new pope's my son.

I've never played Crusader Kings 2, but I have feeling that will soon be followed by "was excommunicated by my son the pope".

[Dunamisdeos]

In Medieval Total War 2 I was excommunicated for defending myself against the French. They attacked English soil relentlessly causing massive casualties, and the very first time I left my own borders and took one of their settlements, the Pope flipped the fuck out.

In response, THOMAS THE KILLER, my most skilled assassin, was present but not involved in any way with the assassination of 37 consecutive Popes.

Pope v.38.0 was English.

That happens basically every time I play Medieval. No matter how many priests I recruit, no matter how many churches I build, no matter what I do with my bishops, my primary enemy always gains control of the Vatican and uses the Pope's position to make my life a living hell. It quickly becomes unfun.

Which sucks, because I love the rest of Medieval II. Just not the Pope dickery.

[hector13]

One of my favorite kings I molded in Medieval II was a guy who had the max level of cuckold trait, basically saying that the men who slept with his wife pissed on his shoes.

He also had the highest dread level, was known as the Prince of Darkness, and murdered all the enemies he captured in battle.

Methinks he was projecting his marital woes elsewhere.

[Twinwolf]

Really? I never really had any problems with the Pope in the playthrough I've done. Never even had to assassinate encourage the retirement one!

[Dunamisdeos]

Darth Vader was in fact my King at the time of THOMAS THE KILLER's extended personal vacation in Italy.

His wife was dead, he had finely crafted armor and weapons, was maxed scarred, maxed out on dread, and "hated rebel scum".

You should try the Kingdoms expansion.  Its like the base game but with 4 smaller games worth of content.  You have a 4 way battle for the UK, a Teutonic Knights themed map, the Spanish colonization of Central America (which I assume is grossly ahistorical, don't think a Total War game would represent that well, but it also feels very new for the series), and one of the Crusades.  There's also a fan made LoTR mod, not sure how complete that ended up being tho.  When I tried it years ago they had units down but heroes were incomplete and cities/locations were basically vanilla.

[Persus13]

They have custom maps for lore important settlements, although they can be a bit buggy. Development on the Third Age main mod hasn't happened since 2012, but there's a bunch of submods for it that get updated regularly. Probably about half of my playtime in Medieval II has been in that mod.

[Dunamisdeos]

That LOTR mod is called Third Age Mod and is one of the best Total War games out there, hands down.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

The Warhammer mod is pretty lit too, of course, no point now with the game.

[Sirus]

I'll plug Hyrule Total War here, I guess.
