Thanquol soon, friends!
THAKWILL ZOON, FRENDS
Neferata's dlc_ in maybe 2 years at this point, mortals!
Tigermen (Women) when?
FOR NEHEKARA
...and this is why, dear CA, you should give us Dark Elf Reavers. Unlike all other unit champions you've already elevated to a full unit (marauder champions, chameleon stalkers, exalted daemonettes) this one has a speciality: in the 7th edition army book he could wield dual crossbows.This unique combination of weapons is previously unseen in Total War: Warhammer and it would make for an interesting short-range rapid-fire unit who can fire at 360°
News at 5.
Isn't it usually 9am PST tho?
>>520935139What's Arkhan the BBC riding?

I'm getting real anxious about my gf playing TW:WH3.>Be me>Play TW:WH3 a lot>Spend many nights per week playing Multipayer battles with guys from Turin and Heir's 'cord.>Gf brings this up during one of our biweekly relationship checkin meetings and dates>Brainstorm a couple of ideas for more quality time>One of my ideas is that she tries WH3 and if she likes it we can play together>Use steam family share>She plays campaign solo and and tries some MP>Really likes it, gets the game and some DLC for factions she likes and we play coop campaigns and MP together>Gets more into MP as time goes>Now she is also in the discords playing organized matches and some amateur tournaments>The idea of her sitting in Discord with other men makes me feel really uncomfortableI know I did this to myself but how do I cope with this feel
>>520936151Tell her to watch Legend so he converts her to SP-only Legendary campaign cheese autism
>>520936151you're safe as long as none of the other guys in the discord is african american
>>520936151I'm sorry for you, it's nothing personal, but when the "multiplayer singlcel" guy comes to the thread I will probably show him a screenshot of your post and tell him "as expected multiplayer fans are all (uckolds"
>>520936151>getting cucked by Heiryou're like the Prince of Macedon of /twg/
What do you think are best warband untis for Tamurkhan and the boys?Im currently running the rot knights 3x, toad dragons 2x and debating swapping some plague ogres for skin wolves since they get plenty of bonuses and horrible regen.Maybe swap wolves for 2 dreadquakes when I can and just get ogres for frontline.
>>520936151Woah bro Turin's gonna ntr you..
>>520936151stop being insecure and ignore everything the cuckschizos here will tell you
>>520936151Consider her terrible taste in game modes to be a red flag

>>520934915How Thanquol turned as a Gor ?
Retvrn the canopic jar, or suffer my curse!
Asrai.
I really hope they do faction realignments in a future patch.>Aranessa to Dogs of War once they come out.>Sigvald and Azazel to Slaanesh>Valkia to Khorne>Viltich to Tzeentch>Festus to NurgleThey can add Crom as a FLC LL to Warriors of Chaos at that point since there would only be 3 LLs left.
>>520938098Said they can't because they can't change paid DLC after the fact like that. They said they'd love to make Sigvald mono-slaanesh now but they can't due to rules and regulations.
>>520935070Slaanesh has Tigermen called Rakshasa Tigermen so I would not be shocked if there are one of the 5 units for Slaanesh. Especially since they picked Dechala who is in Ind in the End Times it is the perfect time to introduce them. Works even better since Tigermen are exclusively Chaos aligned.
>>520938689Make them white tigers like those faggot magicians have
So no news today. Did they pivot?
>>520936151What's her favorite faction/LL. For science.Also the healthy thing would be to speak to her...but lol 3dpd.
>>52093911216 minutes.
>>520936151>human on human relationshipyou brought this upon yourself
>>520939112daylight savings chuddy
>>520938098All the stupid "leaks" we've seen are bullshit but I would like to see actual dual start options for most of the chaos lords. Autists keep splitting hairs about where they "deserve" to be so just give them every optionYou can even put Valkia/Vilitch/Azazel in Norsca too so CA can justify not wasting time on new Norscan LL's
When did Twitch delete archived streams? I haven't been on there for 2 years. I was going back to watch an interview with Louen Leoncoeur,'s voice actor where he mentioned he was brought back to record new lines to deal with custom responses to new LLs and he specifically mentioned Red Duke as part of the new lines.https://www.twitch.tv/videos/824114909
>>520936151>dating a 21st century foid without being into findom or cuckoldryngmi
I'm crying because of the OP pic
>>520939397Not in Arizona.
>>520939648its treason, then
>>520939740I no longer live in Arizona
>>520936151Break up with herOr better yet stop talking to her and get more violent and controlling and talk to her less and less and whittle down all her hobbies to conform to what you want until she's fixed or she does the breaking up for youOr just stop being a faggot weirdo, any 3 works
>>520939553Is that the same interview Thorgrim's voice actor saying he was brought back to do new lines for Chaos Dwarves, two new unnamed dwarf LLs, and Neferata?
>>520939941Isn't he the dad from the Royle Family or am I nuts?
>>520939941if malakai is the one of the new dwarf lords who is the other? bugman as flc?
>>520939553i noticed this too, the stream where ca said yin-yin is coming Q42025 seems to have dissapeared
>>520940479voice actors never mention dates of dlcs because they don't no the dates
>>520934903Not happening>>520935054LMAO, as if CA will commit to big hitters like this when it takes them MONTHS to release something simple like Dechala>>520935070never ever, not even close>>520938098>faction realignmentthats a great way to get another norsca patch disaster when CA only has 2 interns and 1 programmer from their Sophia branch working on WH3 and that programmer is reverse engineering wh2 code to add stuff - when those originally working on WH3 were either all fired for incompetency or moved to Hyenas only to be fired laterits just not happening, Slaanesh DLC is the last DLC and then they will abandon WH3, not because they couldn't make more money, but because they fired all the people that knows the old Total War engine that WH1-3 is made on, its a technical blockade, not a financial one
>>520936151That's what you get for sharing your hobby with your woman. It was supposed to be your thing done in your time
>>520939553https://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/kcbl3q/interesting_tibits_from_a_total_war_twitch_stream/Correct. He did mention in that video. Here is a summary of that stream. CA also mentioned Crom as a possible FLC LL for Warriors of Chaos and Abhorash as a possible legendary hero for Bretonnia/Vampire Counts. The video was mostly CA talking about stuff and answering questions but for some reason they had some Warhammer 1 voice actors talk for a little bit.
>>520934915Did you make this, friend? I like it.
>>520940191I am nuts but he's Daddy Pig in Peppa Pig.Maybe I mixed them up because both shows make me hate the English
>>520941031They have been hinting at Crom for fucking years. He is never happening. Here is something from CA's post 2 years ago.
>Finubar wields a gently curved and gold-embossed sword made in Ind, a reward in his youth from rescuing the daughter of one of Ind's kings.
>>520941758So the Helves have secretly been Colonizing Ind this whole time?
>>520941973No because they colonized southern Khuresh and have a giant fortress there instead and Dark Elves have ports all over western Ind instead.
>>520941973Toilet Witches gonna do the famine
>>520941973High Elves don't have a presence in Ind but Dark Elves and Estalia and Tilea do. They are in Khuresh at the very southern point though like this anon pointed out. >>520942110Fellheart family of Dark Elves has ports all over Ind.
>>520942317SAAR
>>520942110No no no, India was the UKs fuckup entirely. They aren't pinning that shit on the US (Delves).
>>520941571Sounded more like Crom would be a Legendary Hero, but that was before CA changed their mind and decided to do more Lords.>>520941758>SAAR YOU SAVED MY DAUGHTER, REDEEM THE SWORD OF BLOODY BENCHOD SLAYINGI want Finubar in, his design is pretty cool.>>520941973Finubar is called the traveler, he was basically everywhere and helped out people or got diplomacy done. He's highly improved relations with Dwarfs to the point they're basically friends again at this point in the lore.
>>520941973dark elves are the ones in ind specifically lokhir's cousin.https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Laithikir_Fellheart
>>520942317
>"We're trying out a new marketing strategy">Nothing for nearly two weeksSo how do you rate this dlc news drop change?
>>520941973Ind has:>Ogres there are least 3 known tribes wandering around as mercs>Wood Elves have one known major forest they control.>Dark Elves supposedly control nearly every port in western Ind with a massive naval presence within the region. They use these ports to raid Cathay and to keep High Elves out.>Araby has a trading presence.>Beastmen Tiger clans move around causing chaos.>Ind people of course since its their lands.>Southern Realms/Dogs of War/Tilea/Estalia supposedly have a massive presence there for trading.Khuresh>Beastmen from the west that have moved in being welcome by snakemen.>Khuresh chaos snake people>Lizardmen(Extinct. All eaten by snakemen.)>High Elves(At the southern end.)>Norscan raiders
>>520942567so finbubar is just a passport bro tired of helf women
>>520943715>Lizardmen(Extinct. All eaten by snakemen.)Lizardxsters...
>>520943715*Norscan traderssome raid, but most norscans are actually fur merchants
>>520936151Froggy, your verdict?
>>520936151You deserve it for being mpnigger.
WAAAGHWUTZ IT GUD FER
it really sucks that Norsca is just a stand-in for chaos humans, but in the meantime every chaos faction can recruit norscan warriors either directly or their corrupted versionthey should've had as much aversion to chaos as for order
>>520936151Is this a carefully crafted bait, or are mpfags actually this pathetic?
>>520943715>Dark Elves supposedly control nearly every port in western Ind with a massive naval presence within the region.I'm assuming Khuresh and the southern wastes shouldnt be that close
>>520945027>they should've had as much aversion to chaos as for orderunlorefulsince 4th or 5th edition, norscans are nothing but chaos worshipping tribesYour best bet is old world because GW began reverting it back
>>520945443Supposedly I don't write the lore. I know High Elves do control those islands south of Ind though.
>>520945443I know this isn't told much in the lore but black arks can somehow travel underwater.
>>520945678Then what the fuck is the point of the Helf blockades
>>520942110nothing DE-related in indHE have a couple of forts and cities, though like the city of Spires
How the hell do greenskins not get corrupted by Khorne?
There better be multiple stacks you asinine mortals
>>520945838Gork and Mork's blessings.also in 40k there's literally an uncorrupted Ork warboss in Khorne's realm that Khorne resurrects daily to fight more Daemons.
>>520945751Why did you reply about dark elves while posting a list of high elf outposts?
>>520945553>since 4th or 5th edition, norscans are nothing but chaos worshipping tribesthey're killing off newborns that show mutations, but have no qualms with fighting in let's say nugle's army, or fucking tzeentch's despite hating magic as much as khorne does>IP owner fucks up their own lore, therefore it's alrightthat worked out for blizzard didn't it
>>520945751>Lord AmonHey that guy's from TWW!
>>520945838Orcs and Goblins don't really get demons and demons for the most part are not interested in them, but some Goblin Tribes like the bloodied-nose tribe to worships lesser chaos gods or greater demons like Khakkekk.
>>520945940How do you stand using chosen with tamurkhan? They are so slow the enemy army is dead by the time they reach them.I usually get them at start and then replace them all with Rotknights/toad dragons and warband units or ogres.
>>520946216top khakkekk
>>520946162Bet you are mad that necrons aren't mindless killing machines too, since before DoW was even released
>>520945969shows theere arn't any DE outpost in the area
>>520945739I mean what timmy gonna do? not like there's much of them there garrisoned anyways
>>520946270It's relatively early, I don't have any T5 settlements yet. My starting units are still there too.
>>520946425Your post also shows there isn't a high elf presence in Southern Khuresh yet...https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Gates_of_Calith
>>520946541Tor Eleithis is t also that, the writer probably just forgot those are islands east of Calth rather closer to Lustria
>>520941973They are suppose to have a single city in the very northwest of Ind and control the islands south of but the rest of western Ind they can't get access to due to dark elves being all over.
>>520946515You can get ogres from as early as t3 I think and Kayzk is easy to max giving you total of 5 Rot Knights and 2 Toads.Chosen are great for other armies.
>>520947014There no source for the Dark Elves colonising the western coast Ind, Raiding and pillaging sure but nothing about them setting up enclaves like the HE do around the world.
>>520945739Not all dark elf ships are black arks. Malus is shown to use a simple boat when he was raiding Bretonnia for slaves.
>Helves when they realease half of Nurgle corruption come from one street in Ind
>>520947401The Bloody-Handed MalekithBooks by Gav ThorpeBoth books says Dark Elves basically have full control of the west coast of Ind and colonies there. Malekith even has an emissary he personally sent to be stationed there. This is also why there are no humans from Ind in the west because they won't let Ind have a navy. The eastern side is mostly tigermen while the humans live in the west.
>>520947401This book https://www.amazon.com/Warhammer-RPG-Liche-Fantasy-Roleplay/dp/1844163121Says Dark Elves took over Ind's ports and they occupy a lot of Ind's temples having slaughtered the human priests in them.
Reeee game 1 character quests are so buggy
>>520948305>Warhammer-RPGnothing of it is canon since like forever, just saying.It's still pretty fun to read
>>520948520the example anon provided was literally published by GW, though and even for later book in 2nd and 4th edition GW still has to okay everything in WFRP books, so they are canon in their eyes.
>>520943715>Ogres there are least 3 known tribes wandering around as mercs>Wood Elves have one known major forest they control.>Dark Elves supposedly control nearly every port in western Ind with a massive naval presence within the region. They use these ports to raid Cathay and to keep High Elves out.>Araby has a trading presence.>Beastmen Tiger clans move around causing chaos.>Ind people of course since its their lands.>Southern Realms/Dogs of War/Tilea/Estalia supposedly have a massive presence there for trading.Ofc no sources provided.
>>5209489083 sources were provided later for the dark elf stuff by other anons. I think I can provide the ogre source. Give me a second.
>>520949231No, saying "stuff is written in this book i swear!" is not a source.Post source.

Is there a point recruiting a marauder "front line" as Tzeentch or skip to chaos warriors?Or no front line at all and go full pink horrors as if they are Kossars?
>>520952831fan map that was never published in anything
>>520952831It is hard to believe this is made by the same guy that Bioware paid to make the dragon age world map.
Also, where do I see my cults as Tzeentch? They don't appear under my settlements tab on the top right.
>>520952409Chaos furies are op man, especially tzeentch and khorne ones.
>>520953751>They don't appear under my settlements tab on the top rightThey do, just on AI settlements list. Click on sort till you see red cult icons.

>>520953237Why did that guy steal Andy Law's name and put it on there? Andy Law is hired to make maps by gameworkshop a lot for example.
>>520954608Andy Law makes maps for personal use too (for ex. his Lawhammer campaign), he never claims they're canon but people like to rile each other up

>>520952831>Elf Books by Gav Thorpe>lolSo all the KINO 6th edition army books he wrote aren't canon anymore?
How are Dawi on ToW? What's their legendary grudges like?
>>520952409Big targets get torn to shreads when surrounded land or air doesnt matter. Big hit box means the entire unit gets to attack the dragon. In fact what are dragon attacks like in air actually? Do they even get to aoe like they do on ground?
>>520956175Campaign mechanics aren't tied to maps.
>>520957105legendary grudges certainly are tied to some settlements on the map, friendThere's one that wants you to occupy Naggarond for exemple, which I assume isn't on the "old world" map
>>520957105Legendary Grudges *are* tied to the mapJust like the Cathayan caravans.
>>520957472Yeah, ToW is just Nehekara, northern Araby, "The Old World", the Maelstrom, and the darklands
>>520952831what's wrong with Gav Thorpe?

>>520956273>Do they even get to aoe like they do on ground?Their default attack in the air is a chomping attack which hits multiple models at once
>>520959563I suppose its all frontal tho. So being surrounded they are even more fucked than on the ground since there are no sweeps to fuck up low mass entities.

>>520959725Yeah it's all frontal, and the damage is either limited to a number of models, or it's divided between them somehowNTA btw, but when my Elspeth was fighting fell bats, about 3 or 4 entities fell out of the sky with each attack
God I wish this mod got updatedhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917124588
>>520959852Its generally bad idea to rush for the slaneesh. Take Nurgle as fast as possible. Then bumrush the fuck out of Teclis before he can consolidate.Also RUSH FORCE PEACE. Its insanely strong and your only hope to keep Oxy at bay while you deal with the slaneesh.
I just dislike TCAL at this point
No legend video today. Did he finally bald himself to death?
With whom does Legend stand with? Israel or Palestine?
ULRICS CHOSEN!!! AROOOOO!!!
Ulrikas quest bugged....I didnt get vamp gf..
So this is what very hard is like huh1 unit remaining
Ok this dude really carries in sieges, I was not familiar with "blue flame of Tzeentch" on wallsBut I dislike the rest of the Tzeentch units so much I feel like quitting and starting a Balthasar Gelt campaign instead
>>520962256Works fine for me. You must have mods.
>>520963279Just get changebringers and enjoy melting all enemy units in just few volleys.
How do we get the CA forums to stop demanding BOTH Vampire Counts and Norsca CoC style?
>>520963625>Norsca CoC dlcUnless it's to change Norsca into Tribes of Chaos and give non Norscan units, this is a terrible idea.
>>520960508What do you mean consolidate?Teclis already took out the other Tzeentch faction (Sarthorael?) before I even cleared out the starting Nurgle enemy
>>520963625They are demanding Norsca CoC style for two reasons. One is Styrkaar is not the FLC LL for Slaanesh then why want him as the Slaanesh LL for a 4 way-DLC.Two is they don't want Norsca in the Slaanesh dlc because they are pushing dark elves and cathay or dark elves and high elves vs slaanesh very hard and are scared norsca is going to be in it. They all know and agree that norsca has to release before dogs of war though.Basically the only way to effectively kill their plan is to add Norsca to Slaanesh dlc. It will shatter their dreams.They want Vampire Counts CoC to give each bloodline a LL.
>>520956175>>520957105Just booted up a Kazrak Dragonslayer campaign to find outIt's actually a pretty good mixup.
>>520964523HOLY FUCK I AM STUPIDI fucked up the first one
>>520964203In this case, before he has more than 1 full armies. He will start recruiting second one few turns after Sarthoreal is dead. You really want to beat him down before he can recruit anythign meaningful and is still low level. Teclis sucks ass when he is low level but becomes a huge problem once he has his spells and a gigantic threat once he has his mount.Abuse the fuck out of that ambush teleport.
Will we get star fortresses with the End Times DLC?
>>520965051What's the point when your army will get destroyed by a burning head.
When did people stop whining for "another siege rework"?Reddit was full of this a year or two ago, and now: silencewhat changed?
>>520965752CA forums literally has a thread about wanting one with hundreds of posts.
>>520965752me in the plaid
>>520965547remember that the walls will reflect the spell in crazy directions and everyone on the wall is safe
Why does no one ever consider Crom could be the Norsca LL for a DLC?>Norscan>Chaos undivided>Leads armies>Has tabletop models
>>520965752Sieges are fine tho.
>>520966369Because it would be moronic as Hell for him to be in a different race then Archaon when he is literally the second most important leader in Storms of Chaos and End Times. In both timeline Archaon gives him half the chaos army when they split up and attack different areas.To be honest it is stupid as fuck that he wasn't part of Warhammer 1 as one of the original 3 lords for warriors of chaos. We are still suffering the repercussions of CA's LL choices in Warhammer 1. He should have been in instead of Sigvald. Then in Champions of Chaos DLC they should have added Sigvald and kept Azazel for the Slaanesh DLC.
>>520966369Mortkin is way cooler. CA can even give him a mechanic where he can choose between becoming Everchosen (like he could have), dying like he canonically did, or joining Order.
Wow... I need more bombs.
>>520966369Because norsca wont be getting any dlcs so why bother speculate?
>>520967442CA already confirmed they will get one though. The Slaanesh DLC might contain Norsca.
>>520967442keep telling yourself that
>>520967280Sorry, Anon, I don't give credit. Come back when you're a little, mmmmm, richer!
>>520967442>Said Norsca is getting "paid content" after CoC release.>Literally say Norsca is getting dlc right after they said Slaanesh DLC was next in the Omens of Destruction video.>Discord post by a dev also confirming Norsca is getting a DLC.
>>520967521>>520967554CA confirmed Neferata would be in the next Vampire DLC7 years ago
>>520967771Its probably still true. They haven't had a Vampire Counts DLC since. They were the race they said next after Norsca in the Omens of Destruction cideo. Then you got Andy Hall on record saying that Neferata was suppose to be the final DLC for Warhammer 2 but got pulled at the last second for Lizards instead.
>>520967919They pivoted because of Legend
>Muh dev blogs from a year agoYeah, Geomantic web rework is next guise, Vampire DLC very soon guise, we are working on Bret rework guiseee.
>>520967280There's a tech for satchel ammo but I think one of the lords has a skill that gives them a lot more ammo. Is it Belegar? I don't recall. You can get like 4 bomb shots
>>520968098kot get ye gone
>>520967554You know I rewatched this the other day. They way he talked about Slaanesh dlc being next and then jumped into Norsca and Vampire Counts made it sound like those are the two races in the Slaanesh DLC.
>>520968165No, that was literally turn 1 (I fuck around with a mod that lets me change starting armies, so they're more thematic, because vanilla ones are FUCKED) and normal miners are GARBO, however bomb miners are really good.
Todbringer will be playable soon, get hype
>>520968318miners shouldnt be neglected, they're a cheap and effective source of AP
>>520966369He's literally just shittier Archaon
>>520968520Yes, I am aware.Also Kazador gives them some nice buffs.
>>520968292He said "Vampire Counts fans will be VERY happy" with their DLC though. If they don't even get a FLC people are going to be livid.
I'm from the future, the next DLC is Dechala, Neferata(Vampire Counts) and Yin-Yin(Grand Cathay)
If Nagash arrives he will just come as the final tomb kings ll. Back to tomb kings like he was before they split from vampire counts into a separate race. I don't think they are going to waste time giving him his own race. His mechanic will be to let him use all tomb kings, vampire counts, and vampire coast units as well as confederate all their legendary lords just like in End Times.
>>520969423So since Norsca is the next DLC after that in your opinion since they have to release before Dogs of War because of their missing units. Who is Norsca being thrown in with?
>>520969423I already predicted thisWhispers of Seduction
>>520969596>your opinionI didn't give an opinion, I stated factas I have previously mentioned, I'm from the futurebut to answer your question, Norsca isn't getting any more DLC.
>>520969596Norsca, Cathay, HelvesAnd a dwarf rework
>>520970194Why would they do two cathay dlcs in a row?
>>520970306Because GW is armed and holding the offices hostage, Total War will be a promotion for TOW
The reason Kostaltyn starts so close to Azazel is because they both have a common goal, both The Orthodoxy and Azazel wwnt to run the Ice Witches into breeding sows. The difference is Kostaltyn wants to do it honor of Ursun while Azazel wants to do it to please Slaanesh
>>520971126They're actually the same god, UrslaanCanadians with their bearfucking fetish caused the two to merge
>>520969424i agree! something like this>dechala vs caradryan vs tullaris with flc masque>thanquol skulls event flc>mortkin vs valten with flc todbringer>dogs of war with flc egrimm>(insert random lh here) skulls event next year>li dao vs monkey king with flc yin-yin>nagash vs neferata with flc red duke
Reminder that people were more excited by the idea of Alberic getting a redesign and Franz holding Ghal Maraz in one hand and a shield in the other over the actual DLC lords desu
>>520971591I would accept that if these were the final five DLCs.
Whens 40k Total War?
>>520972061Q3 2026 according to job postings for the next upcoming total war game on CA's website.
>>520971126Can Orthodox Preists be married like in real life?
>>520971726I was more excited about Golgfag than Alberic and Franz.
>>520970194>And a dwarf rework5th times the charm
>>520971726>>520972246unironically I was most excited about Bragg.Skulltaker too, but they managed to disappoint me completely with him.
>>520969423I'm from the future after you posted, CA saw your post and pivoted away from this DLC. It will be Dechala, Mortkin and Finubar.
I can just take it?What?
>>520972438I forgot he exists. what does his skills even do?
>>520973209Kills large stuff, single entities, gets nean dots, execution mechanic, high agent kill success change + higher recovery time and removes Immune to Psychology.
>>520972883I told you man, The changing of ways is busted. you can get Force peace cooldown to 5 turns and permanently lock a faction out of ever attacking you. And If you build a cult empire up north via spread buildings you can always have 1-3 cost reduction so you can just take settlements for free on cooldown.
>>520971591This is unironically a good list. I would do this though since I want more :>Dechala-Sayl-Thanquol-Nastasya/FLC>Skulls 25 Event-Egrimm/FLC>4 Dogs of War LLs-Ghark Ironskin/FLC>Aislinn-Tullaris-Araloth-Bugman/FLC>Skulls 26 Event-Red Duke/FLC>Nagash/Valten/Neferata/Boris Todbringer/FLC>>520972061>>520972116Nearly every total war game that gets announced gets pushed back 2 quarters now.

>>520973721How do you prevent the -80% cost cult building from being detected? It adds +200 discoverI ran to Teclis as fast as I could after beating the Nurgle faction and he still has 20 + 10 + 2 units in thee armies. It's turn 7 and he is level 8 with three unique items already equipped.You might be wondering how did I do that since I already declared war on the Slaanesh faction. The answer is simple: I used a Tzeentch trick - savescumming.
>>520974023You always get at least one use out of it. And AI doesnt always wreck it instantly since its not a negative building for them.At start you want to really spam those spreading cult buildings so youll have a massive grimoire engine going and then you can think about those reduction buildings when you want to start stealing settlements and breaking alliances. Its absolutely hilarious to break military alliance between two order factions and then force war between them.
>>520974023as changeling I kept them from destroying it by basically always going for the symbiosis ones.
Is Medieval 3 out yet?
>CA decides to say fuck Thanquol, Neferata and Nagash because no one actually wants to play them theyre just Reddit memes>decide to release Shogun 2s create a faction for WH3 instead>you can use any LL (and add which ones you want to confederate) on top of what kind of mechanic you want to make your dream armies, start anywhere with what kind of units youd like from each tiers>modify LLs tech trees, research and even alignments to align with whatever you wantWhat faction and headcanon are you doing and why>Malekith comes back to Nordland and claims the land hes always had right to there and fights the Norscans off>Empire is extremely hostile and wary but he is just straight up helping them from every angle>turns out he tripped and hit his head and now is retarded and praises Sigmar, Morathi and Malus try to snap him out to no avail
>>520977007Medieval 3: Japan was released as Shogun 2

>>520971591Can we just acknowledge how fucking stupid it would be to have Monkey King as a LL if he isn't moved?>Redundant combat style with Li Dao>Would fight literally the same enemies if they were in the same spot.>Would be a "Drycha" situation where he can't use normal Cathay units.
>>520977007CA is too retarded to give people what they want. Next total war will be total war:ethiopia or some other random shit like this instead
>>520977651Who the fuck is li dao?
>>520978474Li Dao is the southern dragon of Cathay, the fire dragon. He resides in the mountains of southern cathay defending against incursions from ind and Kuresh
I ambushed teclis successfully and the fight wasn't an ambush at all, just a normal fightI thought maybe I didn't see right, but at the end I got a follower for winning an ambush fight I don't understand this game sometimes
>>520977167>dude. Random units!>but but they aren't lorefully in your faction!>minma-I mean create your own hecking faction that makes no sense!why do DoWtards think this idea is so profound? allied recruitment already has this. Literally get a mod for unlimited allied recruitment and easy diplo.fucking dumbass
>>520978474Sibling that rules the south. Is in charge of the celestial dragon monks. Hos whole thing is martial arts. Also grand general of the Cathayan army.
Thank christI thought this little asshole was going to bother me forever
>>520980456the changeling ai is neutered so he never moves and raids one spot constantlyi can't remember if g*lgfag is neutered or not, sometimes he has a little more territory, sometimes he only has one settlement
>>520980723I haven't noticed Golg being neutered, I was playing Malakai the other day in SFO and he ate Kostaltyn's entire faction
Why can't Warhammer 3 have features other Total War's have like:>Good sieges>Basic infantry has unique kill animations>Weather modifiers>Night time battles>Terrain modifiers like fighting in mud slows down medium and heavy units>Set fire to buildings>Etc
Alberic couldn't hold off Vlad's assault....Bring me GODbringer....
>>520978474longma balls
I still don't understand when enemies get wiped out or notAutoresolve seems to wipe them out most of the time, but sometimes they still run away.I thought ambush wipes them out but apparently not - a hero survived, turned into a hero on the campaign map and embedded into a nearby army.Fighting them twice in the same turn wipes them out, except when it doesn't because it's a special army like the Lahmian spawn.
God Arbaal might be the most annoying character in this game now>tiny super fast moving SEM that just zips about and deletes every single of your SEMS with you unable to pin him down
>>520983083>Inevitably becomes extremely powerful on the campaign map so you'll have to fight him several times at least
TODBRINGER
Odds of Lumpin Croop being one of the Dogs of War legendary lords? I have seen several people like the guys that wrote the last official roleplay edition and Andy Hall say that gamesworkshop has an updated Dogs of War roster for 8th. Do you think he got promoted to a legendary lord like Golgfag did? There is a suspiciously big empty space in that part of the Empire if he starts in the moot.
>>520981074lost technology
>>520983083I have slaughtered armies of Elves! I have broken the backs of Dragons, and eaten the hearts of sea-leviathans! Arbaal! Arbaal! ARBAAL!

>>520983305There is a guy who had a theory on the CA forums that the Dogs of War DLC is going to be absolutely massive and that is why it is taking so long besides them adding missing units. His theory was there was going to be 6 legendary lords. It would add the Southern Realms as a race but also give 3 other races a new LL.Southern Realms(New Race)>Borgio the Sieger>Lucrezzia Belladonna>Lorenzo LupoEmpire>Lumpin CroopNorsca>Beorg Bearstruck or Bjoirn Irongrim and the other is LH.Vampire Counts>Richter Kreugar(For an Ushoran LL for Vampires)
Wissenbros......... Gorbad is coming through blackfire pass with two full waaagh armies and I'm not done fighting Vlad........................ It's only like turn 30...... SFO is fucking crazy
Come knight, squires, peasants! Tell me of your funniest moments from your Total War campaigns! Your lord needs a good laugh!
This was a pretty crazy battle, no wonder AR gave me a valiant defeat prediction. I didn't expect Skarbrand's Bloodletters to have over 90 melee attack. Thank fuck for Marauder Horsemen taking Skarbrand himself down with their axes.
SFO really buffs the fuck out of VC autoresolve
>>520989715Any theory that expects CA to do more than the minimum is deluded. They won't release a 6LL DLC. And Richter Kreugar for VC? How the fuck is he related to Ushoran? His entire point is that he's ANTI-undead.
>>520990972So it wasn't just meI was wondering why Elspeth attacking a settlement with a couple of grave guards was a close victory
>>520990410I recruited peasant mob unironically once

how likely is it that ca is going to add multi-race support for select lords?coc, aranessa, etc

What's the khorne ability that makes your units fight them in melee?
>>520998098I know Skarbrand has an ability to do this, and there's other ways too I thinkmaybe a bloodspeaker ability?
>>520998341Thanks
>>520998341on that note i think it's deeply unfair that all bloodspeaker lords get easy access to a mortis ability and healing spell
Thirty Years War, A Total War Saga never.
>>520999939Peter H Wilson has an excellent book on the subject.
>>520999939crazy how it has everything needed for a good total war but people think it wouldn't work because it doesn't have a bunch of the garbage that makes the series worse.

>>521000981>>521001683There was a man who died in 2019His grandfather, John Tyler, the 10th President of the United States of America, died before the US Civil War ended
>>521001618this but irl
>>521002042>diedthat was his spouseMr "My father was a geriatric" is still alive
>>521001683The 30 years war had more consistent action.
>>521002042>Tyler and his son Lyon remarried much younger women and fathered children at advanced ages, such that Tyler's daughter Pearl did not die until the 157th year after her father's birth. As of January 2024, Tyler still has one living grandson (234 years after John Tyler's birth) through Lyon, making him the earliest former president with a living grandchild.
>>521001618this but back when i was playing world of warcraft, i always kept thinking the other classes are more fun to play than mine
>>521002042it's crazy when you think that people born in the 19th century who grew up with horse drawn carriages lived long enough to fly in airplanes and see a man land on the moon.
>>521003170Oh to be Steve and get a taste of the 19th century with a cow that died before WW1
why and how does legend's region trading thing worki don't git it
>>521003759Without knowing what you're talking about, in assuming you mean like where you sell a regiom then instantly retake it?Basically, pick someone you want to attack and get some money out of that you border. Recruit a general in some cities that you don't care about getting damaged, but want to keep (that border them)Sell the cities to the suckersThen, now b3vause they transfered hands, they have zero garrison, and just selling a city doesn't generate a NAP, the generals can just take the city if you declare warYou can now instantly attack and take the cities again, to end up with your identical borders as before, richer, and at war with someone you were gonna attack anyway
>>520980189Notice how the first one to mention minmaxxing was you, I just mentioned a fun scenario I thought up of Malekith teaming with The Empire (who are supposed to suck btw), quit having arguments with yourself, faggot
>>521004341i think it's like he's somehow convincing the ai to accept his chain of settlement trading for like 5 swaps a turn with the same faction to drive up relationsi get that military buildings boost it up a lot but how does the whole logic work
Just declared war on Rome 2 itself, what files should I be garrisoning on the desktop
Venris??
>>521006503everything but the exe vs the exe
>>520999939yeah, they'd need to actually implement involved battle mechanics to make pike and shotte more interesting than lining up pikes, arquebus, and cannon, while horses run aroundthey'd actually have to make line of sight work, for instance, or make sieges have trenchworks
>>521006774>CA hasn't significantly improved their battle AI in the decades they've been aliveHow are they still successful.
>>521007874they can release 30 Years War in 2029, the 30th anniversary of shogun 1
>>521007874>How are they still successful.Lack of competition. They just need one big competitor to come in and they be forced to innovate.
>>521007874Why would it need to be updated? The only flaw it has is it blobbing up for lone heroes/lords who can subsequently nuke them with spells. Its cavalry control is literally perfect, it can find you if you're hiding, and it uses ranged and melee units to counter other units. What's the problem?
>>521007874How can people say this, when 3k existFuck, even shogun 2 despite all my hate towards it, had better battle ai than rome and medieval 2
>>521009767helwhats?
>>521007874The battle AI is working as intended: literally retarded so (You) will feel good for outplaying it
>>521007874It's gotten better. But it still struggles with any concept of formations, in particular the idea of keeping formations. Once it commits it just dogpiles units. The worst bit is that it's micro is much much better, which ends up making battles more annoying than fun.
>>521012440>on unit spread over 3 ranged.

Got a dry socket but it's only aggravating instead of torturous painLL for this feel?
Who is a bigger cuck? Norsca or Beastmen?
>>521022091Beastmen get a ton of new shit with every chaos DLC meanwhile Norsca is thoroughly in the cuckshed.

I may need some advice; where are my ancestors best used? I figured in my army because I don't really have the money to be spending on assassinations, and also they're immortal
>>521024459They are best used in army, because only magical attacks can really hurt them, you can tank almost everything in early game with them aloneAlso, you are already playing game wrong, because skavenblight before they make shitton of stacks, should be your first target
>>521024663Skavenblight before I even take my first settlement in my home province?
NOTONEDRUCHII
>>521024265Have you done it at all?
>>521024663well without restarting I went and did it
>>521024735yes, your ancestors can borderline solo itWhile going up and taking province would waste so many turns that skaven will become too powerful, which leads to campaign being way harder than it needed
>>521021989Skarbrand
>>521025121Good on ya, lightning strike is also a priority for Belegar if you don't already prioritize it. You're going to be outnumbered. A lot.
>>521026218I restarted and took the skaven out on turn 4.Will I? I'm only playing on H/H
>>521026317You'll have to deal with greenskin or more skaven stacks around k8p
How shit is 3K
>>521026476Good point. I can do it but I swear /twg/ has always told me to basically never bother with blue skills for lords, double so for LL's
what do I rename it
>>521026873Simba's shit pit.

>>521024265See >>521023232
>>521026570What? Blue skills are great. Lower upkeep, recruiting at higher vet levels, lightning strike. I prioritize the ones that give lower upkeep so I can field more armies sooner. When it's maxed out you get an 18% reduction in army upkeep. Maybe I play the game wrong, but it works for me.

>>521026873I rename it back to Tylos. That's what it was when the dorfs and humans founded it.
>>521027450I haven't played Belegar since TWW1 myself so no real advice. Garagim might be a good idea to gun for early because he'll provide you replenishment which you want. Also >>521027681 is right, especially for belegar. More replenishment, lightning strike, better campaign movement are all pretty useful since you're basically gonna be threadbare till k8p is yours.
>>521027812>>521027681fair enough, I guess eventually if I hate it I can just respec
>>521027681The early red line skills for Dawi aren't bad and are worth considering. Turning your Warriors into worldbeaters is very useful.
audio stutters like crazy when I focus fire arrow on 1 unit, any setting to fix this shit?
the golgfag mechanic sounds cool. is it? or is it BAIT?i havent played in awhile, and i want a nonstandard campaign. im probably oging to stick to nonstandard until the ai update
>>521028591It's comfy but the campaign is retard proof because of it.
>>521015550Hasn’t that been the case with a decent number of the free LLs? The only one I can think of that genuinely sucked was Tiqtaqto.
>>521028653i think that's what i want. i'm also an expert at self-handicapping
gah dayum its like playing wackamole. What now? Kill vamps? Kill/make friends with the ogres that just wiped out the border princes? Heal up and beeline for K8p?
>>521029260whoops
>>521029412Get your ass to k8p
>>521029493aye
>>520934903'in the pot he goes>>520935054'er too.>>520945350'an her.>>520965752Put 'em in too>>520990364Never tried me some dragon meat. Put 'er in.
So which races are coming with the slaanesh dlc?
>>521028667i like tiataqto... really just the excuse to stack ripperdactyl
>>521029412You need to prioritize Eight Peaks. Once you get that your upkeep malus goes away and you win the game.
>>521029989>>521029493Alright lads we're making for K8P, but this is the best army I could throw together. I'll probably have to sack and raid the greenskins on my way there to get the last skill point I need to get lightning strike, and also to build up a piggy bank in case my provinces get swallowed up on the way there
>>521030158Grungni bless you.
Never in all my years of playing this game have I seen Barak Varr do this well>>521030250thank you anon
>>521029260>gah dayum its like playing wackamole.First time playing Warhammer (Rome 2) Total War?
I swear to god Thorgrim...>>521030379good point
Rather anti-climactic, I've never seen the Dwarfs do this well on Normal. Thorgrim has already don't most of the work, I almost don't even want to bother playing it out
>>521030658>Rather anti-climacticUsually they have as solid mid tier stack there. Swear it's was a scripting thing. Maybe another faction tried to siege it and got the stacked killed.
>>521029412>>521030158>>521030296These pics just keep reminding me to upgrade from my RTX 2070 Super. What would be the best video card at the moment to run the game at High to Ultra for most graphic settings?
Because they look bad? I have a 2080 Ti
Do mermaids exist in Warhammer fantasy?
>>521031250I have 2080 super and I run it on that settings. Getting a steady 60 fps in battles and playable frames on campaign map.
>>521031250your video card is fine, the game is not that graphically intense compared to being a cpu hog
>>521031704yes
Any tips on how to stop skaven engineers from using their earthquake ability to just wipe out entire deeps?
>>521032680>>521032994I thought so too initially, but I’m now constantly getting the stupid ‘WARNING: video card memory is low’ and the following paragraph on setting downgrades when I go into any battle map.
>>521031704yeah aranessa is one
>>521034038check the unlimited video setting or something like that. I think if you have it on, it fixes this stuff.
>>521033675don't fuck mutants anon
That's some major good luck. But seriously? How do I stop skaven earthquakes from ruining my deeps?
>>521034263this better?
>>521034106I did and that crashes the game within 5 minutes, even if I have nothing else running alongside it. E.g. no Discord or Google
>>521034391thats the neat part, you dont. well you can, but you need a bunch of heroes with assassinate and i believe it has to be a critical assassinate to remove them permanently
>>521034794Is this the part of the campaign where I swap out my two thane ancestors for regular infantry and have them guard K8P in perpetuity?
>>521034856idk, theres two options here, increase your hero cap or kill skaven, but it should be an obvious choice here
>>520934915kek
>>520953128I guess if you are fighting a fast faction you might want some meatshields infront of the horrors but otherwise I'd just skip them
can you get Red Duke without cheats when playing as vampire counts?

Haven't played VC in a while, surprisingly they're so strong against nurgle with the physical resist+balefire and various buffs which allow you to penetrate their phys resist meanwhile they can't+mortis engine which they can't really snipe
>>521035823Yes but good luck, especially with the bonuses AI LL get versus minor factions.
>>521036379As always, Cunts are strong but boring.
>>521036760They don't have any ranged units and work off of blobs of resurrecting chaff, I don't see how you could even make them fun
I've killed so many fucking men and dwarfs bros, but they keep printing more...
>>521037594>They don't have any ranged units
>>521037594>Some of the best cav in the game>Great fliers too>Lot of fun monsters as wellThey should be fun. Cavalry is typically one of the more fun ways to play total war. But they're not. It's a real shame.
>>521037880Don't they have a unit cap?
Wait a minute, does 100 melee defense mean I can't touch him?
>>521037594WH3 is so zoomzoom that everything dives and flanks your ranged and backline. it can be stressful sometimes and countsmanii gameplay is a great medicine for that.

Why is Karak eight peaks so important anyways? Like what's the lore here

Legend said have a nice day
Are beastmen fun to play?
I am looking for campaign in which I would only use at two armies at most and have very few settlements. Which campaign would provide me with that.
Is it just me or do units like dogs and cav push through your front lines to reach your archers/arty WAY more often than they used to.Maybe it's an SFO thing, but I fought Vlad and his black coach literally just said>"Wtf is mass lmao"and ploughed through my entire front line HORIZONTALLY
>>521038779Symbolic for Dawi as it was founded and built by Valaya. It's not that important for greenskins but it makes the dawi butthurt so they want it just for that. Rats see it as free real estate a pre-build fortress.
>>521040523any woodelf.
>>521040523As the other anon said, Welves are the easiest. Probably Durthu or Orion (even though his bonus works against it). One army to guard the tree, one to travel the world and fix other trees. Will be painfully slow though. If you want to do it as the Twins, make sure to make friends with Malekith and Mommy otherwise you're going to have issues.
>>521038779It's basically the WHF dorfs version of Moria, or perhaps more aptly their Erebor.
>>521038779>>521041280It's also symbolic for a lot of Dwarfs as their greatest folly. It was their latest and greatest hold, at the height of their power, and their hubris cost them everything. Basically it's their Moria>Gotrek: "In pride we built Eight Peaks, at the zenith of our ancient power. It was a wonder to the world; more beautiful than even Everpeak, open to the sky. A sign of our wealth and power, strong beyond the measure of Dwarf, Elf, or Men. We thought it would never fall and the mines would be ours forever... What fools we were."
>>521038779It's literally the center of the underway. With it they'd even be able to reestablish the new world holds
>>521041778Kraka Drak is the Erebor equivalent. Far flung, rich beyond measure, lost to invasion, later resettled
>all this talk of Eight PeaksWell, time for another Belegar runFor Vala-Azril-Ungol!
>Let's redesign siege maps>Let's redesign siege maps so there's no chokepointsWhich MBA came up with this retarded idea?

>>521055287>Give Vlad and Isabella nkari diplo and subjugation mechanicsThis is reserved for Neferata.>Give vlad and Isabella unique landmarks, technologies, and mortal units after taking altdorf (vlad is emperor now)They already have tho. Almost all Empire landmarks have vampire counts version. They just give undead units.
Am I making a big mistake in empire campaigns by aggressively expanding and confederating when possible?It feels like your resources get spread too thin, you're forced to use crapstacks with no real firepower because you can't afford to upgrade buildings, and then Gorbad, Skrag, or one of the chaos shits just roll up with several armies to flatten you.Asking because I feel like my SFO Elspeth campaign has stalled a bit and my borders are pretty ugly, and enemies are everywhere with big 20/40 stacks
>>521055824idk I don't use cheats
>>521052968Prophet of Mork and Gork, you mean?
>>521055938I've played vanilla to death in all three games so I'm at peace with it
>>521055824>sfoJust add more cheats so you can win easily.
>>521056093Just use your Ironsides (Chosen of Khaine) (Fast... For a goblin) (Ogre Charge) (Armored Slayers) or something then.
>>521055538fuck that give it to vlad, or at least make the bloodline lords give unique mechanics and the Lahmians allow a diplo sneaky subjugation gameplay. So campaign change mechanically based on the bloodlines you awaken. Also VC should not even have basic undead in the army. All basic undead should be raised for each fight in a pre battle screen. This would be a cannibalization of the slaanesh seduction mechanics. You buy your basic undead units with dark power. After the battle is over any undead grunts remaining return to the dark power pool. Each undead lord has a max dark power purchasing capacity. It can be increased with heros, effects, skills, ect. VC have gold and dark power now as two resources. This way you can have VC heros and important units (like blood knights/Vargheists) in the army but still have your undead horde. I think this is a better system but plz tell me if I am retarded.
>>521056256>Also VC should not even have basic undead in the army. All basic undead should be raised for each fight in a pre battle screen. This would be a cannibalization of the slaanesh seduction mechanics. You buy your basic undead units with dark power.

>>521056326its just an idea
>>521053596>locking a 30 minute dev interview behind a paywall for a service no one useswhat the fuck
>>521055824Confederating quickly as empire is a bad move, yeah, especially since you're going to get spaghetti borders that are hard to defend and attack out from. It's one of the factions that 100% needs the garrison built in every settlement because of your movement disadvantage as well, which amplifies the stringy border problem with the expense it takes unless you're willing to take a hit and sell the settlements off for a bit to secure your core provinces

Let's say every single Youtuber in Creative Assembly's partnership program is right and the DLC is Slaanesh/Norsca/High Elves. What is next after that point?

>>521056649They'll try and resell us on Cathay v Cathay :)
>>521056695CA just pivoted because of your post
>>521056649>NorscaLmao
>>521056649It's the last DLC, anon.
>>521056453I was kind of considering starting over and getting Wissenland/Solland and building them up, maybe taking out the Karak Izor dwarfs for a sneaky third province in the mountains + Fort SolThen from there building those up and getting Elspeth a really nice anti-Vamp army before marching on Vlad, or letting him come to me, whatever happens first.>>521056547SFO doesn't have weird unit variants though, and the ones it does have make sense, like war wagons (grenade launchers) which is in line with outriders variants
>>521056803>no Ki-rinRiot
>>521056649I thought Great Book of Grudges starting backing off Slaanesh/Norsca/Cathay slightly and started opening up to the possibility of Slaanesh/Norsca/Cathay? Legendoftotalwar and loremaster of sotek both started quadrapling down on slaanesh/norsca/cathay though.
>get to Eight Peaks as Belegar>Mors owns the settlement itself and Skarsnik owns Valaya's SorrowIT'S A PARTY THEN!
It's Slaanesh/Skaven/Bretonnia
>>521056898if you want a cozy rmpire campaign in sfo play as vlad and ally with the empire, they will suck you off so hard its not even funny
>>521056931Sorry meant quadrupling down on Slaanesh/norsca/high elves not cathay.
>>521057045Wow, I am glad CA is literally going to pull new Bretonnia units out of thin air despite using every single unit from every edition already.
>>521056531Someone really need to check the Nottingham water supply for retard juice
>>521057051How do Vamps do with access to things like Emp artillery? Extremely well I imagine
>>521057169Your fart knights?Your brigands?Your crossbowmen?Your mortars?Your US Lady's SEAL sniper teams?Your Grail Tanks?
>>521057169They honestly should
>>521056379The model you get after a year of subscription is worth more on the resale market than the yearly sub.
>>521057506>Portable choirLmaoI really wish we had more "Buff aura" style units that enabled different styles of play though.For example the grail reliquae, bretonnia's niche being something like that where different buff units keep their awful infantry together while their knights do the work is a fun style to double down on.Make them a bit like vampire counts except cavalry focused instead of monster/lord focused
Speaking of the Youtuber partnership program with CA. Why has everyone not been uploading for like a week? This is really odd. Is CA telling them not to?

>>521057946Yeah, personally I'd like to see something like that, that isn't just a stat or leadership buff, but that makes your peasant troops form into better blocks for greater efficiency/charge blocking or makes your archers fire in volleys rather than a slow stream of arrowsI really miss formations from old total war games too
Nastasya Roskolnikov is going to be the FLC LL for Slaanesh DLC. Why?>Generic lord is going to be Sorcerer lord of Slaanesh and she is a legendary version of that.>Adds a spellcaster only LL for Slaanesh.>Is not completely redundant as a legendary lord like Masque would be since Decahala exists.>Give them a replacement for Azazel so he can be moved elsewhere and she can attack Kislev which is her whole thing.
>>521058194https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4EH4zFWyLo
>>521058258Slaanesh needs someone that can boost calvary units as a LL though. The only option for that is Styrkaar.
>>521058258>DecahalaWith boughs of holly?
>>521058569No, as in 10 hala
>>521058459i just realized half of the slaanesh units are going to be calvary after this dlc. wtf?
Imagine if the next dev video is about the slaanesh flc LL and doesn't reveal one of the other two factions
>>521058868They always reveal the FLC LL last though. Usually after the reveal trailer.
>>521058459Why? Greenskins have a lot of cav and no legendary lord really buffs it, meanwhile everyone boosts infantry and Azhag and Gorbad heavily overlap with each other. They can just give the cav boosts to Slaanesh legendary hero.
>CA still reeling from the reshuffling and not doing much production Going to get sacked by SEGA again of this keeps up
>>521056649CA closure because those 3 are probably the most boring fucking races you could put in a dlc seriously
>>521058258Since they are likely going to change N'Kari to boost monster units that means Dechala will boost infantry. Why would they add Nastasya because she can't boost anything of note. Especially since the sorcrer lords will be dlc units which blocks flc characters from boosting with faction effects. Masque has nothing to boost because Dechala already fulfills that role. The FLC has to be someone else.
>>521056649Helves shouldn't be in any DLC unless it comes with a rework to fix their boring ass campaigns with their horrible faction relation mechanic UI now being a fucking disaster zone ontop of being useless
>>521059120anon you already know the legendary hero is just going to fo some stupid shit like give daemonettes +60 armor, unbreakable, +12 ma/md, and lifedrain attacks and terror
>>521059402This but it doesn't apply to exalted daemonettes
>Azhag lost his powerfvl looting income>got +2 hag cap instead when he has nothing to do with them in the lorePlease give my boy his looty booty back...
>>521058258>>521059236Here is Richard Alrdidge based on the criteria of how they select legendary heroes and legendary lords. While Nastasya would fit the role a FLC LL. Unique because she would be the only spellcaster lord and she would be able to boost their other spellcasters. The main issue is that sorcerer lords are locked into the DLC which blocks her from being the option. Dechala and Masque are basically the same exact thing so obviously they aren't going to do identical clones that add nothing different from each other as the legendary lords.I really have no idea who they are going to do as legendary lord but like rich said they need to boost something unique and be different so that rules out Masque by default who is a Dechala clone.(It does leave her as the possibility of the legendary hero though.)
>>521059810Rich moved on another CA game already
>>521041091Its not SFO.AI is giving literally hundreds of attack orders per second against your archers so shit with mass ignores your front line or spreads out like cancer to be in melee with both the frontline and backline.It's what also causes the fire at will issue.

>>521063021nta but doomstacking bread & butter units is still doomstacking, or what, do you think you beat the gameeven though you used Morathi + 19 Dorksharts?
am i misunderstanding something here? Surely this doesnt mean these factions will be even stronger, right?
So this is Anon's version of Louen Leonceour
>>521064434That is literally what it means. Probably because Warhost of the apocalypse dies very early every campaign now.
>>521064573Clan Moulder and Warhost of the Apocalypes are always major threats tho
>>521062318Shut up retard. That stack is retarded as it's full of units Malekith doesn't even buff.
>>521064514Why is he wearing Empire army then?
>>521064362Not using any darkshards is vastly different ballpark than using nothing but.
>>521064514>hair showingslut
>Increase the faction potential of several underperforming factions: >Warhost of the Apocalypse
>>521063406>>521063435>that detailed breakdown of what the systems do, what they are changing, and what they hope to achieveI love these slavs like you wouldn't believe
>Hag Graef buffedWtf I literally never see Malus' faction die off
>>521064434It means that those factions in particular have had their potential(decision making) improved. They'll recruit more units, better units, more frequently and will be more aggressive on the campaign side, which is nice because as the Empire you literally never see Archaon and AI Ghorst has been a complete pushover since Chorfs.
>>521064573>Warhost of the apocalypse Ever since 6.1 they seem to be dead by turn 23 without fail no matter what I do.
>>521064731What Empire army? Armour? Black armours do exist outside the empire.
When will they add back Rogue Armies?They only pop up in Realm of ChaosWhere's Vashnaar?
>>521064818Archie has not been a threat since wh2, and even then it was questionable.
>>521064872>because as the Empire you literally never see Archaonoh, i see, its just more pandering to empirefags
Can you use mods with beta?
>surpasses NagashHow did he do it bros?
>>521064857They need to make Daniel and Epidemius even more miserable, they want nobody to play Daniel so that they can quietly remove him without anyone noticing and you aren't supposed to play Epidemius, you're supposed to confederate him as Tamurkhan.
>>521065107Yes, but they likely won't work unless they are just reskins.
>>521064434>Surely this doesnt mean these factions will be even stronger, right?Faction potential is part of their weighing for aggression right? So a higher faction potenial means the ai is going to consider those factions more dangerous and be more aggressive towards them.I only skimmed the blog, could be wrong.
>>521064954They still exist and pop up from time to time, even Vashnaar. But their ai has been ultra neutered in wh2 and continues to be today.
>skulltaker potential going down>itza potential going upIt's time for the ligger renaissance
>>521058089>Grail Saurian>Grailstorm Water Batterylmao
>>521064434Throt usually a manace. Increasing his potential will make Katarin's campaign unplayable, just because saving Kostaltyn is already pretty much impossible.Changeling AI getting buffed is scary ngl.I agree with the rest. Especially Malus and Archeon. I just hope they declare war on everyone around them and not just the player.
I am getting really worried that Vardek Crom is going to be the Norsca legendary lord. He is the unifier and leader of Kurgans and they keep updating them. Look at the beta patch they are updating them again.
>>521065257teeny weeny has been on a rampage lately for medunno why skulltaker never kills him
>>521065407Puppets of Misrule is Vilitch, not Changeling.
I never see the warhost expand. Are you guys using mods or something?
>>521065247I've never seen them.In Realm of Chaos they're all over the place, in Immortal Empires they don't even appear for me
>>521065257ligger renaissance is when they give them a full racial rework so that Sotek stops staring at them from across the discord while mouthbreathing.
>>521057396Grail Knights and Lord (that becomes Grail Knight, Grail Lord). You don't need more.
WHEN WILL THESE FUCKING COWARDS ADD SLAMBO???
>>521058569Boooo
>>521065594Oh good. But was Vilitch already pretty active in my campaigns. Why buff him?
>>521065697Aren't you forgetting someone, Sire?
>>521065723Skulls event is when they add FLC for chaos factions.
>>521065794Yes, including you, my child.How could I forget.
>>521065757He never does anything though unless you play Cathay, and even then he's easily swatted away. I can see why they're doing this, he's always a complete pushover in my campaigns
Give Bretonnia the WoC unit upgrade mechanic
>>521065618I use the no-RoR mod which makes Chaos perform even worse.
Vilitch walks around the wall in 100% of my Miao campaigns, gets curb stomped in the warpstone desert and never does anything again
>>521063406>>521063435>Kurgan Warband will now properly choose targets after destroying bastion settlementsFor fuck's sake they are really going to do it. Crom is going to be the legendary lord for Norsca. I am fucking pissed.>Vampire Counts factions will prioritize going for the Bloodline they are thematically aligned withVampire Count CoC bloodline DLC confirmed?
>>521065794Reliquary Squires?AKA Squires(Magical Atatcks)(Frenzy)
>>521065654I saw one bumming around Helmgart in a recent campaign, they're there but i guess not that common.
People aren't hating on the Black Fortress mechanic strongly enough
What the hell is the point of playing on legendary with this AI? Yes, they field a lot of armies, but they don't engage me in battle. They stand in once place and let me nuke them with range fire....
>>521066292the what?
So in this blog we've got confirmed that TW40K is happening and new vampire and norsca dlc's.Bulgaria is delivering.
this blog post all but confirms yin yin, finally
>>521066160I think people are REALLY sleeping on that bloodline update. There is literally no reason to do that unless they are doing the Bloodline CoC style DLC people have been begging for since CoC.
>>521066362The AI starts moving for me when it fears it will take too much ranged fire. Did you also increase the battle difficulty?
>>521066292You mean the Dark Fortress mechanic that WoC has? Why? What's wrong with it? Why do you want the second strongest race in the game to be even stronger?
This blog post confirmed Genshin Impact Total War
>>521066292It's old hat, i just don't play WoC.
>>521066381this
>>521063745I knew some faggot was going to say this as soon as I read it. Fuck you for being predictable, anon.
why did ca pick crom as the norscan legendary lord? he belongs in warriors of chaos. it is so damn stupid to put him in norsca.
I hurt myself today...
>>521066714What's wrong with Dark Fortresses?
>>521066753The thing he's remembered the most for is acting like a true Norscan faction leader>get your shit kicked in>get confederatedthat's him in a nutshell
>>521066846They are too bright.
why did ca pick Sigvald as a Warriors of Chaos legendary lord? he belongs in slaanesh. it is so damn stupid to put him in WoC
>>521066292I don't like how it encourages everyone to play the same way and expand in roughly the same direction as WoC because that is optimal, and vassal income is peanuts so at some point if you want money, you gotta go to the damn North Pole
>>521066968he was an 8th edition lord and they had no plans for monogods back then
>>521066968I ask myself that every time I see Sigvald in WoC. They should have held him back until game 3.
>>521066968>why did ca pick Sigvald as a Warriors of Chaos legendary lord?Because he's one of Archeon's mortal generals in ET. And if you don't remember TW1 was based on the events of ET hence Ghorst and Vlad making it in.
>>521063435why the fuck doesn't this come up in google
>>521066846The fact that your mighty host of Chaos is encouraged to wage war towards the North Pole against those pesky Chaos factions.Also the fact that CA couldn't think of good locations for the southern hemisphere so they just crammed them all into Antarctica
>>521066261>Squires (Magical Attacks)(Frenzy)That's battle pilgrim (RoR), but I do want version for squires too (a simple reskin but with new models would do)
>>521066968All chaos lords should be in WoC. The separate demon factions are idiotic and redundant.
>>521067272I dunno sis, I feel like giving each god their own unique followers and mechanics was a good move..After they unfucked the rosters thanks to CoC
>>521067168>The fact that your mighty host of Chaos is encouraged to wage war towards the North Pole against those pesky Chaos factions.>Chaos fighting against itself isn't canonicalOK>Southern hemisphereThat's somewhat fair in that I feel you could make some certain capital locations or key locations (Middenheim, Mordheim) as dark fortresses but it's not a massive problem.
I am pivoting on my Slaanesh/DE/HE prediction to SLaanesh/Norsca/Vampires.
>>521063406>>521063435So the main 5 things I got out of this.>Bulgaria is fixing the game.>Archaon is going to be a threat now.>Sieges are the next major rework.>Norsca basically all but officially confirmed in the Slaanesh dlc with Crom as the LL.>Bloodline dlc basically confirmed for Vampire Counts and likely the dlc after Slaanesh.
Who was this git meant to be anyway
>>521067168That isn't what's going on there, you taking the entire wastes before moving south is supposed to re-enact Archaons fetch quest of uniting chaos and securing all the chaos relics.
>>521067612Literal E Me.
How do you stay motivated to play past turn 30? I'm so overpowered right now that the AI can't do anything.
In case you people were wondering, in the history of Warhammer Sigvald was one of the four Champions of Chaos, essentially in place of Azazel.Azazel was the biggest baddest demon to ever exist, he was a couple with Amon'Chakai (one is the fighter demon, the other the caster demon).This was when demons were meant to be one big block while Chaos had its own four Champions (Dechala, Valnir, Arbaal and Egrimm). These four were abandoned because Egrimm was bigger and stronger than Archaon and Arbaal was as big. So they reinvented Archaon's champions later as four foot sloggers meant to be beneath him and his horse.
>>521067168Yes, chaos always infights, there actually no region outside of chaos wastes where they can feel welcomed
>>521067692What do you mean, "you people"...?
>>521067679I like watching my dudes fight other dudes.
>>521067695This but unironically. Chaos is welcomed nowhere.
>Sisters of Twilight will now try and actively pursue a specific item set in the Forge of Daith;WE being dlc race confirmed, feel sorry for retards who expected norsca or vampires, lol
>>521067370They can give the monogod flavored lords their own mechanics within the WoC faction just fine. They already have.
>>521067809Secondaries, and I mean it with the utmost contempt
appreciate everyones help getting my first belegar campaign off the ground last nighthowever my dream of a Dwarf reconquista were dashed when Thorgrim and Thorek didn't get wiped out for once and are immensely powerful
>>521067930You're the secondary here THOUGH. It's TOTAL WAR General. NOT Warhammer General, as much as you'd like it to be.
>>521067930Total War secondaries?
>>521067679I play non-overpowered races and I do migration campaigns and I also willingly avoid buying any dlc other than the basic one for the race I play.
>>521067871>Updates a Norscan minor faction to be way more aggressive in campaign.>The exact minor faction that is lead by well known 8th edition LL Vardek Crom.>At the same they keep adding Dogs of War units to every 3-way dlc which Norsca just happens to be missing.>After when the head of the game literally said Norsca was getting DLC in the first Omens of Destruction video.
does this mean that miao ying will actually complete her starting province on her own
>>521067272GW got cocky after they split Undead into Vampire Count and Tomb Kings and it was more or less well received.
>>521067986whoops
>>521068135>when the head of the game literally said Norsca was getting DLC in the first Omens of Destruction videoThis literally never happened.
if the dlc is norsca and dont own the original dlc will i have like 3 units to use
>>521067457Not him but it isn't that it isn't canonical, it's that dark fortresses are your entire campaign goals. You HAVE to keep taking them to build up your army to move south, meaning you're fighting chaos more than you're fighting order, which is dumb. They should scrap the current dark fortress mechanic and turn it into herdstone lite: WoC factions can raze any province capital and pay a shit ton of favor (scaling upwards with each one) to occupy it as a dark fortress instead, enabling a FOB in any theater. Maybe unique or landmark locations for these can still exist in the wastes to remain an incentive for fighting chaos if it tickles your fancy.
>>521067871The fact that you are comparing a major faction getting an update to a minor faction getting updated to be aggressive out of nowhere speaks volumes.
>>521068216Why does Tretch still live?
>>521068184no, my hagwife is still too sleepy and fat from eating so many magistrates..
I have no idea how can they fix sieges.
>>521068203GW never had monogod factions, it was CA's choice
>>521068203Still hate how they retconned empire hiring greenskins for the oddjobs like construction, and lizardmen don't live in caves anymore while waging wars against dwarfs.We should boycott current pozzed(or whatever word you use) version of warhamemr
>>521068370nope all the units.
>>521068310>Ignoring this video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fix3FvsmplA&t=747s
>>521068379My last Archaon game I basically took like 2 dark fortresses, merced Boris, moved into Kislev, and started fucking shit up. This was admittedly before SoC though but I can't imagine WoC being that power crept. Very little fighting against Chaos.
>>521057816>I really wish we had more "Buff aura" style units that enabled different styles of play though.>For example the grail reliquae, bretonnia's niche being something like that where different buff units keep their awful infantry together while their knights do the work is a fun style to double down on.Same. Wouldn't mind it if we had a Bretonnian equivalent of a VC corpse cart to replenish health and boost melee defence, for example.I hope we the Bretonnia rework makes their lower tier peasant infantry (peasant mobs, peasant bowmen, and men-at-arms specifically) into something like skavenslaves or clan rats, so we can field armies of cheap dogshit peasant units.
>>521068216>turn 90>6 provincesI wish I could be this soulful and slowgoing but I feel like a failure if I haven't united the Empire by turn 50 at the absolute most.Hope you're having fun though anon.
>>521068465Remove ALL towers.Heavy buffs to units on walls.Done.
>>521068659It shouldn't be something that turns bretonnia's shit tier peasants into a viable army though, it should literally be propping them up and if it's routed/killed they fall apart or suffer an even bigger morale shock than they would have without it.There needs to be some kind of weird downside
>>520941571>>520966369looks like you losers are getting your wish if the patch notes are anything to go by
>>521068465make walls actually hold the enemy backmakes no sense that a unit thats parked right on the wall will just watch faggots climb butt ladders without smashing the ladder with rocks or pouring baby I mean boiling oil on infidels
>>521068649Share time where he says that.In the future dlc part of the video>They talk about Slaanesh>Obvious Vamp dlc>And then starts talkng about Liggers Geomantic web reworkYou people need to realize, there is no Norsca DLC. Chaosshitters are DONE.
>>521063406>[Realms of Chaos specific] Kurgan Warband will now properly choose targets after destroying bastion settlements;This is really fucking out of place. They never do stuff like this for minor factions.
>>521069134>>521068649Oh he beriefly says Norsca monsters hunts, sorry. Just after mentioning geomantic web.Best you guys are getting a rework in 7.1 or 7.2. Rejoice.
>>521069374the Kurgan warband is a Miao Ying mechanic anon
>>521069134>Literally talk about Norsca in between Vamps and Liggers>Ignores it
>>521068536No way in hell you were alive for 4th edition.6th is the sweet spot.
want to play a fun dorfs campaign, should i go with grombrindal or thorek?
>+30 turns into elspeth campaign>still dont have bruckner, ulrika or gotrek/felix because of CA's gigaretarded missionswhy are CA always hiring the shitty game designers?
>>521069374Kurgan AI is broken since chorf dlc. They piss off chorfs and Vilitch, then start attacking them. Poeple have been asking for a new mechanic for Meow for years.
So da nooz is literally nothing again?
>>521069712Thorek
>>521069712Thorek.
>>521068652Kislev is still close enough to make it not that big of a deal. The issue is how much of a chore it becomes once you start moving further south away from your fortresses and shitty vassals. I merely proposed a way to offer more freedom and less tedium, is all. WoC will always be easy no matter what due to unit stats so that wasn't really a factor.
>>521069616There were no Lizardmen in 4th edition.3rd edition had the Slann warriors, then they were gone for one edition, then in 5th they came back as fat frogs served by Lizardmen
>https://community.creative-assembly.com/total-war/total-war-warhammer/blogs/69-total-war-warhammer-iii-improving-ai-in-campaign-part-2Officially switching teams from Slaanesh/Dark Elves/Cathay theory to Slaanesh/Norsca/High Elves DLC and Vampire Bloodlines CoC DLC next.
>first grudge age 1.5k>second about 5k>third 16kWhat the actual fuck. My borders aren't that fucked and with that much grudges. How does it fucking calculate this shit.
>>521070147TCA can suck my huge coc though
>>521070186KHAZUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK
>>521070147What about the blog makes you think that
Slaanesh + Norsca + CathayElf hopium was always built on nothing
>>521068465They cant but here is my ideas.>Remove siege attacker from LLs.>Limit or remove ass ladders.>Foce both player and AI to siege the settlement and make use of siege towers(they have some great designs)>Buff the walls a little.>Let us select which units we want in garrisons.
>>521070186It's done solely to punish comfy defensive players who just want to build tall. The calculation is irrelevant.
>>521070186Grudges count against all dwarfs, someone conquered some shitty dwarf hold(more likely empire in their north mounts), here your grudges
>>521070395thanks you've just made sieges infinitely worse you should be getting an offer from CA shortly
>>521070186My e-celeb says that you should always be at the start of an age before settling a groodge otherwise the cost for the next one will be astronomical. So first you settle and then you go to the next age....or was it the other way around?
>>521070347Sadly I think it will be Slaanesh/Something (hoping for Norsca or Vampire Counts)/High Elves since its Dachala and her whole thing is hate hatred for getting sold into sex slavery by her elf dad. I don't like it because there are other factions that should get attention, Elves already have fucking enough.
>>521070186More settlements you own, more neighbours you get. And all those neighbors + people who declared war on you, added to the groodge meter. So if you want less points, just raze everything. Build deeps in your core settlements, sign NAPs with your order allies and let them border your enemies. Also you should be finishing 1 or 2 legendary groodges in the 3rd age of reckoning.
Why don't people understand that the cancer ruining sieges is the towers?They get 200 undocumented kills every time, literally the strongest unit in a garrison and it can be built for free and it looks like SHIT and it twists the entire siege around itself
>>521070901Everyone knows it but mentioning it causes painful memories of the dwarf cannons on the walls in the wh1 trailer and no one wants to relive the disappointment
>they confirmed more skaven DLCIt's so fucking over...
>>521070901>sieges is the towers?Fuck no. All AI builds is tier 1 towers everywhere. Those deal literally no damage.Sieges are just not fun because there is 1 obvious way of playing them.Sieges will NEVER be fun. Accept this fact and move on.
>>521070269For vampire counts bloodline CoC. Richard Aldridge saying Vampire Counts fans will be very happy when he was talking about future DLC during the OoD video added with the patch notes for this specifically this line.>Vampire Counts factions will prioritize going for the Bloodline they are thematically aligned with;Literally no reason to do that if there aren't going to be a bunch of playable bloodlines. If Vampires were in this DLC it would end with only two playable bloodlines. Lahmia and Von Carsteins which would make updating that completely pointless.For Norsca a combination of the release Q&A of CoC of them saying future paid content for Norsca, teasing Crom for years like this guy's image from a blog, >>520941571 and the patch notes saying they are updating Kurgans a minor faction to be more aggressive when they only do stuff like that for major factions. That combined with every single Creative Assembly partner on Youtube been saying for months the DLC is Slaanesh/Norsca/High Elves.For High Elves only guessing them because of the Youtubers. I don't think they really make sense though as the third faction.
BETA will run till 1st of May!
>>521070816That's precisely what I'm saying. I didn't border that many grudge heavy factions. Not enough to catapult me to 16k grudges.There was 160-300-300 on settlements, then two armies with about 300-500 each (all clan Mors)Everything else was less than 50. I had barely any grudges bordering me. So what the actual fuck.heck I had MORE grudges at the start of the second age when I only got about 5k grudges to settle.
NExt dlc is Slaanesh/Vcunt/Norsca. I dont like it either, but there is too much evidence.
>>521071169the outer towers come pre-built and they force you to rush to the walls with no preparation. They are splash artillery.The inner towers mean essentially that as soon as your lord enters the city his hp will start ticking down and you can never regroup or slow down, just push push push
>>521071507I and everyone else here likes it
>>521071381Sauce?
>>521071507There is literally no evidence.
