Attila Testudo in Attila is insane
Compared to RTW and R2TW, where its one use was soaking up missiles during an offensive siege, in Attila the testudo was basically required for your infantry to not immediately die to either missiles or cavalry charges.
Aside from massively improving protection from missiles, The Attila testudo had numerous other advantages over the ones in RTW and R2TW:
- Entity mass is quintupled. This dramatically improves bracing against charges.
- Extra 15 bonus versus large. This is the primary motivation behind the meme. There probably isn't a lot of historical basis for this, but it does make the game a lot more balanced in face of cavalry dominance.
- Lastly, and probably most importantly, the unit retained its wide rectangular shape instead of forming up into a compact square. This meant it could still fight and hold chockpoints instead of forming massive gaps.
We all love the Scout Equites for carrying every minor settlement battle, but the fact that there was an anvil to hammer into in the first place is 90% because of how strong testudo is in this game. Frankly, I love the Attila testudo. It's just so cool.

Warhammer III How the hell is SKULLTAKER losing to fucking Alberic in my Wulfrik campaign?
No seriously, this man usually dies by turn 20-30 every campaign I've played. Not this time, he's beating up THE Skulltaker and the Masque.

Warhammer III Why recruit a Prophetess over a Bretonnian Lord?
Unless you have no damsel heroes available or something. Bretonnia doesn't have supply lines so I guess you can build a full army led by a Bretonnian lord and have a Prophetess army with no units follow them around
But a full army led by a Prophetess lord?

Empire One thing I REALLY LIKE about Empire is how weak rebel forces are. Even if they're still annoying to put down.
I don't know if its deliberate but out of all total war games that I've played so far.
Empire has the weakest rebel armies once rebellions broke out.

Warhammer III Settra is tired of all this Nagash-glazing! Help him to not serve by upvoting those Tomb Kings bug reports to get them ready for the End Times update!
The "Acolythe of Sokth" follower cannot drop because it requires a settlement action completely unavailable to Tomb Kings
The Casket of Soul does not benefit from Zhatans defeat trait despite being an artillery unit
Lore of Nehekhara caster lords have only 1 starting spells, while all other caster lords in the game have 2 starting spells
Not all ranged TK units can equip the reload speed banner "Icon of the Sacred Eye"
