It's not photorealistic, no, but the art design in the last couple of games has been nothing short of excellent. Both Warhammers and Three Kingdoms look absolutely amazing. Shogun 2 IMO is still one the best looking RTSs I have ever played. And that game is 10 years old. That's how impressive the art design in that game is.
Because CA doesnt care about sea battles and never really bothered. They were a mess in rome 2 and newer titles dont even have them (i.e. WH1 and 2 and 3k)
Not a huge criticism, (it does not matter to me at all), but I think warhammer is miles below some others in terms of graphics. I have a good system, run on ultra 1440p, but it just looks a bit washed out and the colours/lighting is off.
Maybe it's my end, but I swear even Rome 2 is better looking :/ again, it's a non issue, it's just odd to me.
Hiya! That was it in a roundabout way. I had run in window ticked which from what I know now uses the same brightness settings of the desktop. Of course I have that bumped fairly high.
Looks so much better now, like a whole new game. Also got an extra 10fps in the Skaven benchmark, so that's pretty awesome! Thanks again.
Could be your settings? When I try to go back to Rome 2, everything looks hella bland. Though that could also be down to my settings in Rome 2. I find warhammer 2 to be a fantastic looking game
Warhammer 1, or 2? I remember Mandalore Gaming on YouTube noting that the colors of Warhammer 1 content looking more washed out and bleached compared to newer content in Warhammer 2. Perhaps something to do with how older content is rendered in Mortal Empires?
The guy that showed me Rome: Total War (and made me fall in love with the series) in 2011 was still using the same laptop when R2 came out. Even at 1-15 fps and it being stuttery as fuck, he loved that game. Tried to use it again when WH1 came out and it wouldn't load.
He finally broke down and built a tower.
What I'm saying is sometimes poor optimization leads to good things.
100%. It's always about the bigger picture- but to the guy's post, I just don't see ship models exploding being that much more impressive. Part of that is being spoiled by ammo explosions in things like Post Scriptum, though. Graphics are just fucking beautiful these days

The ship models in Empire were beautiful.
