every naval engagement in pharaoh is a popup with a number on it. you click ok. thats the battle. in a game set during the bronze age collapse.

battle of the delta, 1175 bc, ramesses III vs the sea peoples. its carved on the walls at medinet habu. ships grappling and capsizing each other, archers on deck, AND shore based archers shooting into the fight from the bank. thats a combined arms coastal battle. someone drew you the map 3000 years ago. suppiluliuma II has hittite texts claiming three sea battles off cyprus. ugarit literally writes "my ships are all in lukka land" then seven enemy ships turn up and the city stops existing. the whole collapse is a naval story.

and bronze age naval would be the easiest version to build. no wind, no broadsides, no line of battle. its galleys closing distance, missiles, then boarding. its infantry combat on floating platforms. you already have that system.

so heres the part people will disagree with: "naval was janky so we cut it" is not a reason, thats just admitting you gave up. rome 2 and shogun 2 shipped it worse than this would need to be and people still played it.

am i wrong? does anyone actually prefer the autoresolve, or is this just cope because we know its never coming back

Is there anyone still facing graphical bugs on Total War Three Kingdoms after one year later?

Is there a mod that fixes the Fire and Advance drill?

My units always get stalled after one iteration which makes the tactic worse than Fire by Rank. I want the back line to always advance to the front, rather than the 2nd one, and I want them not to bump into the units they are passing, interrupting their reload animation.

Thanks in advance.

Hello All,

just needed to ask since I feel like an outlier in this regard. Is MK1212 supposed to feel like it takes ages to complete small tasks?

What I mean is so many of the buildings are expensive, so building towns often takes multiple turns. Research is outrageous. Armies and Income are to me as well. I cannot tell if I’m just poor at playing this mod or if I’m being intentionally throttled in my progression.

Are there any mods to sort of remove this as well? Or should I spend some time on Dawnless Days? I really want to play some total war but have beaten a lot of the other titles to death minus Attila. I’d love to play just a lightly modded base game but the factions don’t intrigue me much (no I do not want to play one of the falling roman empires, genuinely do not care to do so).

Any insight from those who love attila would be great!
