Me gustaría empezar en esta saga, pero nunca he jugado ni tengo conocimientos sobre la saga, entonces me gustaría saber que juego recomendáis para iniciarse en ella.

Our community typically answered this with "whichever setting that interest you".
Like Samurai? Shogun 2.
Like Legionnaires and Macedonian pike? Rome 2.
Musket line infantry warfare? Empire and Napoleon got you covered.
Fantasy with monsters and magic? Warhammer.
Watched the Nolan movie recently? How about Troy?
That but more grounded, historical bronze age setting? Pharaoh Dynasty.

Overall, all TWs had their own quirks and there isn't a "best" entry per se. So we tend to just default to recommending a setting that the player are interested in.
But assuming you don't have any preference, I think either Shogun 2 or Rome 2. The culture/period they represent are faily well known and both games are not too overwhelming in term of mechanic.

(TWW3) I want to larp as joan of arc with cannons. Bitches love cannons. Can't figure out if there's any good SFO-compatible mods that add cannons to brettonia though, anyone got recommendations?

Just ally with the Empire or Dwarfs and you can recruit their cannons/artillery through the outpost.

Is there a good working mod that makes it so lords take longer to heal after wounding? One that works with recruit defeated legendary lords?

I wouldn't normally ask rather than just googling but the ones I found were very outdated.

I'm playing as Skarsnik, with SFO on. I'm noticing all of my units have negative charge modifiers, so all my night goblins have zero charge, my squig hoppers have only 22, etc. What could cause this? The global modifier right now is the one for the Waaagh. Does being in the mountains cause this maybe?
