I have uninstalled and re-installed Warhammer 2 five times now. I wanted to play a good Total War game, I have a good first ten or twenty turns in a campaign, and then something happens where I basically lose all that progress and want to put my fist through my screen. So my unpopular opinion is that Total Warhammer 1, 2, and 3 are broken messes that people undeservedly defend to the death.
Whether it's watching the AI make a completely useless stack and throw it at an enemy with one province with a massive doomstack despite the fact they can't afford it while my seven provinces are barely keeping the rent for my weaker army or two and they get crushed accordingly and I lose a confederation, watching two powerful allies of mine go to war for NO reason and I have to choose one nightmare or another, objectives that are supposed to be easy yet barely work out, or campaigns that make one want to eat nails, I can't take it anymore. I feel like playing this shit is like an abusive relationship.
Case in point: I was playing a Repanse campaign. There's a mission called the Sword of Lyonesse where you have to protect three Dwarven armies from Tomb Kings. You ride in and save the day, literally. Now, what SHOULD happen, is that the Dwarves hold out as long as they can until you ride in. Of course, the AI being absolute pigshit decides to stay and get bogged down. And if one those armies gets wiped? Even if you still have every one of your units still, mission failed, defeat. And I know someone will say I played it wrong, and I need to follow a guide to win, but I want a game where I have options, it seems like the only way to win a campaign is by following a specific way to do things.
Also Kislev is lame and Cathay was never lore important and only added because Third Kingdom was popular or CA was pathetically pandering to the Chinese.
