>>551540257He said he supported it most of his life up until recently btw, due to it's foreign lobbies medling with foreign goverments like the hate speech laws to protect it in AustraliaPeople painting Legend as a nazi chud were fucking lying btwAs per usual random anons here are full of shit, the same with claims that his wife is Asian.Total War
I need to get the check mark for this Quest battle and I'm not good enough to do it in the venue map how do I make sure I get this Pacific Norscan Quest Battle the one without the check mark there?
>>551551180>foreign lobbies medling with foreign goverments like the hate speech laws to protect it in Australia You do know lobbies that support foreign governments on actually controlled by those governments they just have people with a common interest in a country to support that government that doesn't mean the other government is some sort of sequel Mastermind controlling your government that's in we go by international law.
I have never made a swastika formation with my units.

Because of total war 3 kingdoms there's some people I wanted in Dynasty Warriors now mainly the crossbow guy.

Ahhhhh the wine dark Aegean
I want to do a beastmen campaign next but I can't find the beastmen sex combat animations on loverslab? Was it taken down?
I hope they add SoB to TWH40K
>>551552448>Play Cathay>Empire bad>Kislev literally pain kek>Female war units>Humans need women>Chaos best>Skaven always wrong>Total army killLots of gems this time around
>>551552709you have to go to the 'cord
>>551551204I think align to khorne, but thats fairly speculative.
I want to make an alliance between the Tau and holy Taylor because
>>551552448
>>551552806Seriously? Can't have anything good these days.
>>551552327wrong neighborhood, commieThis general is for liberals ONLY
>>551552756They are literally adding everything. Every major, every minor, every system, every crusade battle and conquest. This game will have 3000$ dollars of DLC over years and years and years. Whatever you want you are going to get it, but keep in mind that you will be paying for it.
>>551552924>Holy Taylor>In the Year 30,000, Taylor Swift has become not only the greatest celebrity ever, but also a political icon, military genius, and even a god to many. No longer satisfied with her achievements she sets out to conquer the stars. Making the first pop marines.
>>551553258>you will be paying for itnahi'll play it tho
Okay has anyone here heard what happened to Mount Rushmore in 40k?
>>551552448>beastmen retardedlmao
>>551553305>The swifters of battle >Brotherhood of femboys loyal only to Taylor Swift
>>551553634The Emperor of mankind and malcolor deciduite had to explain she was a celebrity in the time and the country of plenty who did a bunch of singing that people could talk to each other on electronic boxes who obsessed with her but she actually died a normal human lifespan many generations ago but it didn't stop her fans from being a thing Generations after what would be a normal lifespan of the time was already over since she died. And both of them have DVDs of her performances still a long left movies biographies after her death.
>>551553098Let’s not pretend you have principles, you’ve adopted the ideology of the ruling class. you would conform, like an octopus, to any shape in order to fit through the gap. Your ideology is not liberalism, it’s obedience
Ah, just another relaxing day in Gondor
>hoped I could focus on the North as Imrik>Ended up fighting Kugath in Dragon Isles then Drazoath which spiraled out of control when Dechala, Snikch and my alliance with Greasus forced me to focus on clearing Cathay and fighting Thamurkhan I hate Cathay yo
I've finished 18 minutes of video editing so I am rewarding myself by scrolling the 4chan
>>551554651The worst part about being anywhere near Cathay is that you will eventually be sucked into Cathay whether you want to be or not
>>551554497is that hellen keller?
Get back to me when Dawnless Days has cool factions like Angmar
>>551552983i did that
>>551554769Surely the same thing could be said of being nearThe Empire or the Chaos Wastes?

Very hard or Hard Campaign difficulty?
I once read that in twwh3, allies get autoresolve maluses if they have a military alliance with the player. Is that (still) true?
>>551555832you’re a big baby sissy scaredy cat coward wuss unless you play on the hardest difficulty settings
>>551555832vh should be renamed to normal
>>551555964No that was a wh2 thingWhat does change is that factions you can see don't get anywhere near as much of an autoresolve bonus as factions you can't see
I wonder what'll be the stop gap for the 40k DLC.The table top is alive and well and 11th edition is in the horizon, if the game lives for at least 10 years, it'll see 2 full new editions and maybe more.That's a lot of fucking content + all the old stuff.
>>551555964They don't get to cheat anymore which makes them retarded if youre going to ally with someone do it for their units or request army unless youre nkari and can make vassals at no cost
Franz should get full visibility over all Elector Count factions
>>551555832Only thing that changes is you will have to manually fight your battles more often thanks to since the enemy can shit out 3 armies right away while you barely manage one. Play a Donut campaign to get a feeling what awaits you.
>>551555832Start off on easy easy. Play until you are strength rank 1 and can recruit your full roster then kick it up to normal normal.Keep playing until you you beat your endgame crisis and have confederated all the lls your race has.Then and only then kick it up to vh vh. You might have to kill a few armies but you should also be able to form randomized legions to make that irrelevant
I want to play VCoast but i'm gonna wait till they get a bit of a tune up and the Merwyrm.
>>551556634Nah.
>>551556660ignore this retard
I never got around to playing Taurox and just booted up a legendary campaign. Everyone always says he's one of the easiest lords, but wtf is this early game? I can't beat Alith Anar's archer spam in melee because my starting units suck and I have no magic damage to deal with Cylostria's ethereal units. Do I just let them take my starting herdstone and go somewhere else? I wasn't expecting these early fights to be a slog with how everyone says he's a steamroller.
>>551556227That sounds just as stupid but I guess I can safely ally then.>>551556564Not sure what exactly you want to tell me anon.
Name a more KINO hammer and anvil than chameleon stalkers and bastiladons. That's right, you can't.
>>551556246They probably won't do every new edition for forever.Maybe 11th is the one they'll do until the end and some of the 12th edition stuff for the factions that have less units.
>>551552391this guy makes darksharts look balanced
>>551556936me and your mom
>>551556932That you'll have stronger allies if you dont sign alliances
>>551556936literally anything else you fucking lizardbrain
>>551556634Franz should get full visibility over all Elector Count factions *which have high enough allegiance*He should also have his diplo-free movement restricted to Elector Counts with high enough allegianceElector Counts with max allegiance should instantly become his vassal even if you don't spend prestige to annex them, and Elector Counts with minimum allegiance should auto declare war on him

having a chill ikit game, positioning myself for a war with the empire and in the span of 5 turns SKRAG of all people allies with franz and elspeth and wipes out the vc, which up to that point had conquired everything reikland.call it a hunch, but i dont think i'm winning this one
>>551557973Can someone explain this image? Cuz I really don't get it I think there's something sexual implied but I'm not Positive.
>>551557983Actually you missed the main idea. Crusade Theatres will be sold as DLC. Want to defend Macragge against the new threat? 15.99.
>>551556936ironsworn and bull-centaurs>>551558118What's Sayl like? Might give him a shot next
>>551557973Respectable
>>551558325Sayl campaign youre really better off fighting chaos than cathay due to how his mechanics work, I genuinely regret going south it's so much worse
Damn, nobody talks about how Kino Eltharion is. Dude gets an automatic barrage ability whenever he's in combat? And soul quench is absolutely bonkers? Damn guys.
>>551558325Sayl's early game is weird. His starting area is all territory he can build up without needing spoils so it's a bad idea to build altars until you have it all conquered. The first like 20-30 turns (depending on if you fight Zhatan and Villitch) involve not working towards your objective. After that you can finally start using his actual interesting mechanics and yeah, he's super op.
>>551552448>40k disappearingWE WON FANTASY BROSWE FUCKING WON!!
>>551559162Everyone knows what they showed looks awful so it's already memoryholed until there's more
>>551559162but at what cost
>>551558325As the other guy said, the pace of his campaign is weird.My advice is take ur starting province and 1 of either vilitch or zhatan, ally the other, and those are your only real provinces. Run it down into china spamming alters. I think that’s how they intended it at least. My route was mad weird and felt really behind pace, then I banged out the 30 alters really fast at the end and didnt much use the machinations at all. I suppose try to use them pretty liberally in punishment tiers 1/2. Frankly, a weak ai army spawning near sayl is free money/spoils/xp autoresolve bait anyways.Also, the monster hunts are forgetable as fuck, you have to want to do them. I totally forgot about their existence after the first and missed out on doing stuff for fun.
>Rts>ConsoleHas it ever been made
>>551559442The weird shit is you're better off staying in norsca lands and hunting chaos all the way to naggaroth and even allying with meow
>>551559546yes, command and conquer was on the playstation. i think it was red alert one
>>551559546Halo Wars (dogshit)Aliens vs Predator: Extinction (kino)
>>551559679Well, he is ‘faithless’.
>>551556780He can kill the entire map in 1 turn his mechanics are that strong. As a wood elf player I know minotaurs die to waywatchers quite easily I figure buffed shadow warriors could do the same. You could just prey on the weak or make use of trees on the map if there's any so they can't shoot properly
How strong will Eldar rangers be on launch?
>>551560517He can'tHis rampage was nerfed in WH2 and was never even close to being able to do that in WH3You'd genuinely be better off using Skarbrand if you wanted to destroy as much of the map as possible as quickly as possible
>>551560796It'll be the psyker abilities that end up broken because they have way more of them than any of the other launch factions. Or the jet bikes, which neither of the other factions have.
>>551560796Eldar need a "moral high horse" mechanic
>>551560796I'm hoping most eldar arent as impossible to like but I figure thats wrong
>>551560796Weak as shit, just like tabletop
>>551558650>Good boy raceI don't play those
>>551561456they're literally nazis
>>551561456Yeah but he's based. Doesnt want no god damned foreigners on his land, hates brownskins I mean greenskins and they're all ubermench with blonde hair and blue eyes.
>>551554439look at this big boy talk!, you will grow out of it kid
>>551558126
miao not starting with control of any of the gates is strangemiao starting friendly with the people who own the gates is strangemiao getting a quest to subjugate and conquer the people owning the gates after i signed an NAP and trade agreement with them is strangefucking gotcha quests are bullshit

>>551551025God, miao ying is beautiful
>>551563546built for giving birth to horrific daemonspawn
>>551558650I dont like his campaign mechanic. You are basically forced to manually battle everything until you leveled Yvresse dungeons to the max. Sometimes shit goes so hard you end up with two LL in your cell which you dont want to release until you crippled their empire.
>>551563625mutt's law
>>551563625that's how i call my children
>>551559442I'd recommend getting rid of both Zhatan and Villitch and leaving that settlement next to Grimgor abandoned or he will pound your cheeks. You actually only need only like 10 or 15 altars to unlock everything since you get +1 for each Altar upgrade.

Is this winnable? I'm gonna go cut the grass and think about it. Couldn't attack because this army doesn't have siege attacker. Ended turn and the reinforcement army attacked.Eltharion is probably more difficult than Imrik honestly. Spread thin, no money with enemies all around. N'kari, Skarbrand, various greenskin factions... HELL

>>551565103Yeah we did LariansissyNow bend over
>>551565001idk in what world that is possibly winnable
>>551557983This makes amount of factions and subfactions look smallIt doesn't list pre 10th edition contentIt doesn't include future stuff we know is coming like DarkAdmech/Lost and the Damned + separate Iron Warriors or Eldar Corsairs which will arrive soon. Hell, there is even a talk about ExoditesThere will war theater dlcsThere will be cosmetic dlcs as wellFucking Tau alone could have 2 separate dlcs for Kroot alone
>>551565276>instantly cries larianlmao classic owlturd fansharturs gate was just as bad, atleast it isn't a buggy piece of shit though
Criticism of the amount of DLC in the Total War: Warhammer games often comes from newer fans who previously played Paradox games. In the modern era, no game remains relevant for more than a year without continued support. No one would still be buying Warhammer 3 if it weren’t for the constant updates. In today’s gaming world, it’s either DLC or live service, and nobody wants live service.I mention Paradox because these people often point to the price of the base game plus the DLCs as if the DLCs are necessary for a satisfactory experience (they aren’t, I put 130 hours into Warhammer 3 before buying a single DLC). Buying every DLC is something ingrained in the mindset of Paradox players, since Paradox often locks basic quality-of-life features or fundamental mechanics behind paywalls. For instance, in Crusader Kings 2, you need a DLC just to make another state your tributary, a DLC for a basic political interaction of the medieval world.The existence and quantity of DLCs are not the problem. They are what keep the game alive, the community engaged, and what attracts new players.The real problem is the quality of the DLC. It’s not a question of price versus content, because even if it were 50% cheaper, the content would still be underwhelming.
>>551565001You'll get swamped and you dont have the firepower with magic or Eltharion to turn it around.Tbh playing both Yvresse and Badlands is gonna be nightmare duel. When you are done with Greenskins on Donut N'Kari will come for your booty or Skarbrand in Badlands.
>t.
>>551565001This army has no win condition. The spearmen and cavalry won't do anything. The archers will get swarmed before they can spend even a quarter of their ammo. The lord is too low level to meaningfully contribute. It's fucked unc.
>>551565470So you agree that Owlcat makes the best crpgGlad we had this talk
>>551565001i couldn't even win this against the garrison alone
>>551566076Don't know if being crowned king of the diarrhea pile counts but okay
>>551565001Change campaign difficulty to Easy and auto it
>>551565001Retreat to Yvresse if you still can and kill them with its Garrison.
Honest thoughts on Khorne champions?
>>551566596We must be better

>>551566596their dicks don't work
>>551566836The better to replace it with a functional piece of equipment
>>551566734look at this khorneslanneshy
Bruh you have 10 seconds to explain to me how are dwarves not overpowered. literally the best melee and ranged units in the entire game (warhammer 2)
>>551566836No sex, just war.
Got a $50 steam card for christmas and decided to spend it on DLCs for TW3. So i was wondering a few things.going to pick up thrones of decay and shadows of change, what other DLCS would you recommend, I only have a few DLCS from tw1 and tw2 when I played those a while back, so also looking for recommendations for those
>>551567419 That more Space Marines who haven't fallen to the prince of pleasure or are space wolves.
>>551567381They're manlets.
>>551567541Chorfs are recommended a lot and for good reason. But really it just depends on what factions or campaigns interest you. What do you like to play as?
>>551567381slow, no sem. mongol tactics murder them
>>551567541Drechala is super busted and not at all challenging, but she is some of the most fun I've had with this game in a while.
>>551567686I think im an orderfag. Love me dorfs, love me empire and I remember having a good time with high elves in TW2. I like having a good amount of artillery and firing lines, and while im not adverse to melee-heavy style, I just am not great at microing calvary so i'd tend to avoid calv factions. The realm of chaos campaign as cathay was fun as well
>>551568390can't go wrong with elspeth then, but shadows of change is shit.
>>551567541Chorfs are my favourite, but in general you should look at the factions you like and pick lords for them. If you don't have Champions of Chaos, pick it up too.
>>551568830You can buy elspeth alone now
I am going to play who I want to play and you are just going to have to deal with that.
dorfs are redditchorfs are 4chanit's that simple
>Imrik and Caradryan together give their army 50% fire resistSometimes I cast burning head on my own spearmen just to feel something. But I don't think they noticed.I landed Imrik in front of a dozen units of blunderbuss and nothing happened. I called Drazhoath short and he killed himself.
>>551569656Hashut-pilled post. Azkala prignartu.I don't like post-rework Dwarfs, they're too braindead and those units don't belong to those tiers on a faction with growth this fast, I did like them more before CA threw everything and the kitchen sink at them from turn 1
>>551569890>only one caradryan
>>551569890But Blunderbusses don't have fire damage?
whats the purple range around this?
>>551570428sex range
>>551567541Same I got a 20 dollar giftcardI spent it on Prophet and the Warlock, Twisted and the Twilight, silence and the Fury, and Ogre Kingdoms
>>551568830Is there an issue with ostankya/yuan bo for shadows of change then? Im playing a kislev campaign right now, but wasnt sure how good their DLC was>>551569234I was thinking about just getting malakai/elspeth and leaving nurgle alone
>>551570970I like Yuan Bo, he is a very balanced DLC lord who is still pretty unique, Gatemaster is great, but Ostankya feels disconnected from Kislev, like she doesn't really belong and so does most of the units she brought. She should've been implemented as Kislev's third, maybe second DLC, not the first. Changeling brings cool units, but his mechanic is a bit unchallenging. He is fun for 1 campaign, maybe 2, but I don't think I'd play more of him
>>551570970ostanka sucks balls, yuan bo is fucking nothing and the changeling is mindnumbingly boring. elspeth's guns and sorcery is overpowered but fun, haven't played makakai
>>551570428You have the garrison can attack out mod

>>551574610Gelt.
>>551564380I suppose she's threatening the turturer with a low evaluation for "only" making the victim scream.
>>551574610Canonically, you should do Grimgor.

Lots of crossover between /twg/ and /crpg/. I fear that Total War: Warhammer 40,000 has only perpetuated this occurrence.

Are we ever going to get a lore friendly version of the Empire that is filled with various units of different faiths in the Empire like Ulric, Morr, and Taal? Or we just only going to have Sigmar stuff forever? It feels like CA hates the northern part of the Empire and always focuses on the Southern part with Sigmar.
What are some skaven units with this feel? Whenever anyone plays them, it's always just artillery, weapon teams, and menace below.

Get the mod where you receive faction effects on confederation (Sniktch's AP gutter runners, Tretch's increased stats for stormvermin etc) and make themed armies that are quite strong without having to use much weapon teams if any. Making ubermensch rats and rat monsters is pretty fun and confederating the other lords not only facilitates a longer campaign, but increases your units power levels marginally.

Hey! I was watching a Warhammer 3 video and one of the players had Dechala in stalk stance. Is that really a thing you can do in her campaign?
>>551580658no
>>551579695I would assume it looks at what units are directly engaged in combat, looks at their stats and makes a rough guess at who would win or lose in a span of time.

>>551580658Probably had pic related like >>551581515 said
I recently got the Norsca DLC (wulfric and the troll) but all the guides I look up are from years ago or only cover the surface level changes that they recently got.Would somebody be so kind as to give me a QRD on how the faction works and how to make an army of unarmored mortals viable vs giant demons and cannons and shit? Do I raze and loot everything or what? Also I do not own Sayl the faithless so no kurgan units
>>551583457Norsca is a rush down faction. You want to close to melee and swarm over. If you're fighting elite enemies you're going to want to counter their large with anti-large or otherwise swarm over the others. If you're fighting less elite enemies, you're going to want to try to cause chain morale breaks with your superior melee infantry.
>>551583457>ThroggLiterally just use his mechanics and win, he gives you free bonus armies full of monsters>WulfrikDon't bother, just confederate him
>play dechala>iron dragon and gelt sell their souls and become your boytoy vassals for a single settlement this system is a bit broken.
>>551584369Yeah, Dechala being unattractive makes this make no sense.
>>551583457You don't even need the legendary lords. All you need is Khorne.Go full Khorne on everything. All your sacking, all your chieftains. Get Running with the Hound. Put Kilgore Slaymaim in the same army as your best Khorne Chieftain and then just rampage around getting a billion movement every time you win a battle.

>>551371596Alright well, Christmas was awfully busy, but now I have time to post battle screenshots.The first of the Legions to meet the Huns in battle in 417 was the X, with Sextus Lentullus beginning the fight at a disadvantage. The Hunnic artillery surpassed his own in its range, putting the burden of attacking upon himself. Leaving a regiment of spears to guard his onagers as they closed to within range, Sextus led his men forward, even as the batteries opened up and stones began to fall upon them. The Roman cavalry was massed upon the left, ideally to gain supremacy over the Huns upon that flank and silence their artillery before it could do any more damage.
What did the Sylvanian toddler say to his Count?Got your nose!
I only play infantry
>>551583714>>551584743>>551584691okay I'll go khorne and try to get up close to my enemy.Any units I should avoid, or any I should I rely on? Are their ranged units any good on foot or horse?
Why did Nakai cross the sea from Lustria to Cathay?He is wondering the same thing!
>>551586095Franz's campaign is completely broken despite being the most popular campaign in the game because CA are fucking retarded
>>551586095The minor empire factions have been basically impossible to keep alive on higher difficulties since release. Unlike in the past it's not a permanent debuff if they die, the mechanic just cares about who owns the settlements.
>>551586663After an arduous advance, the battered Roman line came into contact with the Hunnic infantry, who appeared to hold the advantage in numbers and unit strength at the moment. Spears on the right flank warded off any advance by the Hunnic cav there, while Sextus's hopes for the left appeared to materialize, with the Roman cavalry overwhelming the Huns and swooping to the rear to savage their onagers. Spare Hunnic infantry now advanced upon some of the cav, however, and they were in danger of becoming bogged down.
>>551586794So, what, you're Dawi? Slannesh?
>>551586798Wulfrik can make javelin units suck less against large enemiesI think his javelin buff works on Horsemasters and War Mammoths
>>551587174I am pretty sure that Huns reduce the morale of Roman units. Some of my closest fights were against them in the field.
>>551587164>>551587154How am I supposed to re-enstate the original elector counts like this
>be a faction that is near a faction that just got DLC buffsPain, desu.
The Western Roman Empire isn't the most popular campaign because it is the easiest.
>>551587174Soon enough, much of the Roman cavalry force did indeed become swamped with infantry, and what units remained free seemed as though they may not be enough to save the battle at the infantry line, which was beginning to turn against the Romans. In the nick of time, however, Sextus's onagers opened up and began bombarding the massed Hunnic infantry, nigh-instantly turning the tide on the Roman right. Sextus hurried to wrap that flank up and sweep leftwards down the line, but precious little time was left before that end of the line, already beginning to fracture, would totally collapse. The Hunnic general had reinforced this section himself, which was well timed for Sextus, as a unit of archers from Verona's garrison promptly came within range and began peppering his eastern counterpart with flaming arrows.
>>551587324Cathay
>>551587595>be cathay>get surrounded by op dlc factions on all sidesIt's actually fun
>>551585671you didn’t beat the game
>>551587910you failed in life
>>551587993triggered
>>551587853>Cathay>funChing chong Brainwashing victim detected.
>>551587748As it happened, the Hunnic Chief appeared to lose his nerve, fleeing across the field to the right flank, and into the waiting spears of some of Sextus's own Hunnic auxilliaries. As this began, Sextus's cavalry in the rear now found the opportunity to free up their comrades still stuck on the left, sandwiching the remaining infantry between them. The whole Hunnic army began to fall into disarray, and while their infantry still held out on the left line, they were increasingly finding themselves surrounded.
>>551587398It gives you the option to revive them when you take one of their original settlements, but there isn't much reason to do that instead of just taking the settlement for yourself.
>>551588246Chingchongs have cute shugengan waifu, they win.
>>551588246>all the cool shit the Empire gets plus other cool shit plus an actually fun campaignCathay is great
>>551588208Looks like I hit the nail on the head
>>551587356You're half right. The Huns do have a morale reducing debuff, but it technically affects all Christian factions, which does normally encompass the Romans, but also half the barbarian factions as well during a normal campaign.One of the upsides often touted for re-converting to Graeco-Roman Paganism as WRE is that it deprives Attila of this advantage.
>Hard battle but looks doable>Map is complete fucking shit with nothing but hills/trees I hate this fucking game sometimes holy fucking shit. When did Warhammers map generation get so fucking bad. It feels like 50% of the maps are just complete bullshit
what if I just vassalize every faction in the game and make it Total Peace: Peachammer?
>>551588467looks like you didn’t beat the game
>>551588576Then you probably hacked or already killed a lot of factions.
>>551588246The fact that anti-Cathay fags only point of criticism is "muh china" says a lot
>>551588617this is the power of trading one thrall settlement. the ai will just bend over and take it from Slaanesh
>>551588305The Hunnic general, Zabergan, finally fell to the spears of his own people, or perhaps Roman arrows. Either way, it was the last straw for the steppe army he brought with him, combined with the hammer blows of Sextus's cavalry as it now crashed into the rear of whatever combatants remained afield. The horse archers tried to harry the victorious romans for a time, but the battle was decided.
>>551588710I thought there were a good deal of factions that Slannesh could not corrupt (into allies).
>>551588639Games made by the west should not be altered for the sensibilities of people who are turned into food by their superiors because the Chinese forgot how to farm even though they basically invented it.
>>551588834Verona was now safe, and the X legion was free to reinforce their brothers to the east or west. It had been hard-fought, however, and exacted a heavy toll. Sextus was not sure whether his men would be in any condition to fight for the remainder of the season.In one respect, however, his choice of what to do was made somewhat easier. Virunum, surprisingly, had been defended with relative ease by the XXII and I legions, who found themselves at an overwhelming advantage against the two Hunnic hordes there (aka I actually had a very good autoresolve). With the east secured, the only point where the Hunnic threat remained was, regrettably, the most critical, at the Roman capital of Mediolanum.I'll get to the battle there in a short while, as I have to leave for a sec.
>Told Minotaurs are anti-infantry>They do armor piercing but that's it, nothing for anti-infantrySo which is it? This sounds more like units you use to counter Chaos Warriors.
>>551589262Where does the idea that Cathay panders to IRL China even come from? The dragons explicitly don't care about their own people and kill them on whims. There's mass conscription of peasants who are treated as expendable canon fodder.Of the three dragon children that are currently playable, two are outright evil and the third is a drug addict.In canon, the entire nation was destroyed offscreen by Grimgor.What part of this is pandering?
>>551589712Pretty sure that Minotaurs with dual axes are anti-infantry.Also, Minotaurs are damn good at ripping and tearing through most infantry. Stats don't always tell the full story.
>>551589712No shields = anti-infantryShields = you get shieldsGreat weapons = anti-large
how?
>>551589990caravans
Minotaurs are a Beastmen unitMinotaurs are arguably the best unit in the Beastmen rosterKhorne gets access to MinotaursThe Minotaurs that Khorne gets have additional armour and FrenzyNever let any Anon tell you that powercreep isn't real
This is balanced, of course, by the fact that the Beastmen can cast spells and don't have to pay for their units
>>551589865It's really interesting how you barely understand stories that are written to be understood by thirteen year olds.
Does underway stance have any downsides? They can still reinforce from it and everything.
>>551589865>In canon, the entire nation was destroyed offscreen by Grimgor.Holy fucking based
>>551590348Too bad this doesn't happen canonically before Immortal Empires so we can play as an actually interesting faction instead of Ching Chong Bing Bong. They have their game already, and it fucking died because TCA couldn't make 'three million people fight, ten die in battle, ten million die of famine' interesting.
>>551590483>actually interesting factionName one
>>551590279Literally just listen to Yuan Bo's diplomacy voicelines and tell me I'm wrong.Read any of the short stories. Read the building descriptions.Read the lore, there's literally a period where the Dragon Emperor left for a few years and his failure children fucked up so badly that a talking monkey took over Cathay.Come on.
if they don't have slant eyes and buckteeth it's pandering
>>551590678Reading is for fags
>>551589262>made by the westCA sits in england.
>>551589538Okay, I'm backThe commander of the XXX Legion at Mediolanum, Flavius Eutychianus, beheld a Hunnic horde on either side of the Capital city, one to the north, and one to the south. Thankfully, the two were not close enough to reinforce one another, and thus Flavius had the luxury of choosing only one of them to be his first opponent. He decided to strike the southern horde, making battle upon the plains of the Po valley. Unlike Sextus Lentullus, Flavius here held uncontested supremacy in artillery, forcing the huns to advance upon his army. Accordingly, he adopted a defensive stance, keeping his cavalry and elite infantry in reserve to strike if needed. This would also let the capital garrison more easily join him to lend their own strength.As the Huns came within range of his onagers, Flavius bid them to target the Hunnic horse archers, so as to weaken the overwhelming potential of their missile output.
I think it's funny how instead of getting some special campaign resource Greasus Goldtooth just throws piles of money at his problems
>>551591592The Roman artillery inflicted grievous casualties upon the Huns as they approached, but approach they still did. As they closed in, the Hunnic General, a certain Tamas, had his mounted archers hold back, while directing his cavalry to engage in a mass frontal charge. Forming into points as though they were daggers pointed at the heart of Rome, Flavius saw the coming storm of horses. He responded by having his men adopt their testudo formation and brace. Both men knew this charge alone would decide the battle; a breakthrough would see the Romans surrounded and torn apart, while a failure would result in the core of the Hunnic Horde dissolving upon Roman shields.
>>551589865In canon, meow could shred grimgor and nobody can harm cathay.
>>551589942>Shields = you get shieldsAnd this whole time I thought it meant more defense when all it did was block ranged attacks
>>551589924>Pretty sure that Minotaurs with dual axes are anti-infantrySo why is it not listed as anti-infantry?
>>551590483Franz stop seething, ur faction is boring.
>>551592292They do have more defense, it's just built in as part of their stats rather than part of a shield modifier.
>>551592160Fortunately, the strength of Roman steel prevailed, and the Hunnic charge proved disastrous for its participants. The Legio Comitatenses proved unassailable in their formation, and the Hunnic cavalry was already beginning to break. Desperate to salvage the attack, Tamas began moving up to charge the line himself, even as Flavius's onagers blew his men apart around him.A small degree of skirmishing also occurred upon the Roman left, as a unit or two of Hunnic horsemen attempted to swerve around the line, only to be intercepted by Roman cavalry.
So if I want to do a empire IE campaign in TW3, I should do elspeth instead of franz? if I want it in empire lands?
>>551592823I honestly like both. Elspeth is definitely a lot stronger than Franz mechanically, but Franz' mechanics feel deeper and more interesting.
>>551592754Valiant as his charge might have been, Tamas proved as vulnerable as his men, and died trying to break through the Roman line. The melee component of the Hunnic army was now almost entirely destroyed, and the only task now left to Flavius was to deal with the numerous horse archers remaining upon the battlefield. This was no easy task, for the skirmishers were too many for his onagers to destroy alone, and if pursued too eagerly, his men might find themselves strung out and defeated in detail. Fortunately, the Mediolanum garrison brought two archers to help whittle the horsemen down. In the meantime, Flavius judged the time right to advance, and let his line move forward so as to put pressure on the horse archers.
>>551593013>Franz' mechanics feel deeper and more interestingThey would be if the elector counts weren't all dead by turn 7
I hope that CA legacy updates Attila and destroys all of the mods.
Elf fuckers, Asrai or Asur?
>>551593356You can revive them and prevent them from dying at all if you're fast enough
>>551593436Smelly Asrai sex but corrective Druchii sex trumps them both
>>551593436What are you asking exactly? If you're asking about fuckability, it's Asrai hands down.
>>551593428A real Todd move
>>551593467You farm fealty by reviving them and gifting them back their settlements so if you do survive the turn 7 apocalypse you've still entirely skipped what's supposed to be a major part of the campaign
>>551593428you absolute psychopath
>>551593330Despite his caution, it became rather easy to overpursue the Huns, and a couple of Flavius's regiments did indeed break from the constant arrow fire as they chased the horses down.Realizing he was being baited, Flavius had his infantry line up and readopt their testudo, catching the horse archers's arrows upon their shields while the Roman archers provided counterfire and the cavalry attempted to surround them. This ultimately proved successful, albeit time-consuming and costly in lives. Soon enough the remaining savages fled the field while the XXX legion stood triumphant.
>>551593436Asrai 100%

Campaign posting...VGH
>>551593814Flavius had won at least one battle for Mediolanum, and rather handily at that. He was certainly now in a good position to withstand any siege the northern Hunnic horde might attempt to lay.
>>551585429Imrik is a happy cuck thougheverMiaow fucks everything but him
What if instead of Norsca it was Sweedsca
>>551594615they'd be too powerful
>>551594180Flavius was soon joined by Sextus and the X legion, who resolved that one horde was more than defeatable with the strength of even two battle-worn legions. This horde appeared to agree, and chose upon being confronted to flee north into the alpine valleys. In doing so, the nomads had bottled themselves up, and the XXX, X, and I legions quickly positioned themselves to defend all nearby cities. Rather than pursue, however, Emperor Honorius bid his legions to bide their time instead. It was now winter, after all, and every Hun who froze in the alpine glaciers would mean one less to kill in the spring. With the thaw, the XXX now stood ready to bring down the hammer upon the horde. He would need to be swift, however, as the I legion had now left Augusta Vindelicorum undefended, offering a way out for the Huns if they had the speed.
I refuse to play Cathay until they get their final DLC.
>>551595109You're never getting your bimbo girlfailure dragon, anonJust give up
>>551595287AQUA KONOSUBA IS REAL
W H E R EI SK R E L L
>>551594892The reason for this move was due to the rather distressing news of another Hunnic horde arriving in the east of Raetia. Emerging from the blighted wastes of eastern Germania, this new army threatened Iuvavum and Virunum equally. Vettius Praetextatus and the I were the only ones who could stop these marauders, as the XXII had gone south into Dalmatia in order to guard that province against the roaming Sclavenians.Beyond these developments, the rest of the empire was rather peaceful, outside of Britannia. There, Sextus Perennis and the VI Legion stood firm against many suspicious movements from the neighboring Ebdanian tribes, even as the Picts to the north sued for peace. Worse still, trade contacts to the northeast sent word of new raiding armies bound westwards from the land of the Geats. With any luck, the Roman North Sea fleet would be able to ward them off and prevent yet another assault upon Camulodunum.Alright, that's all I've got for now, merry belated Christmas once again /twg/.

So the majority of people on creative assembly forums voted that they think Li Dao is the most likely Cathay DLC LL coming out in about 2 months. Do you guys agree? Monkey King was voted second most likely and Tigerman LL was voted 3rd and Yin-Yin 4th.
>>551597408yeah its okay, you can just get all the DLCs for free with creamapi though

All I see now are settlements waiting to give me exp
>>551597408Depends on the race. Some races absolutely need some DLC to be fun like Empire, the Demon Races, and Ogres. Others like Bretonnia and Vampire Counts are fine without DLC although they need major reworks. Dwarves, Kislev, and High Elves would probably be okay without DLC.
>>551597448If we don't get my beloved retard I'll personally call CA offices 50times a day for an entire month and call them nigger faggots.I'd be fine with fire dragon tho. Just don't give me a non dragon, that's weak reddit trash.

Just started ToT a few days ago after ~6month break from TW. Been playing Masque and I find them to be stupidly powerful and kind-of boring. I'm finding with them it's too easy where daemonettes can be used as just front-line unga easily. The amount of buffs they get so easily with Masque seems over the top, and I'm not even using any of the active portions of the Dance mechanic (just passives). Bit disappointing as I've played so much N'Kari who isn't as easy but much more fun (LL and faction overall, at least early game). I hope the other 3 ToT LL are more enjoyable (preferably harder to play but that doesn't seem to be a thing in CA's constant power-creep). Any LL from ToT you guys have particularly enjoyed?
>>551606294>>551606212>>551605360>>551603429>>551603154All still better than the 6th Edition Kroxigors.
You now remember Total War: Arena
>>551606696>I find them to be stupidly powerful and kind-of boring.Has there been a single TW3 DLC or FLC LL that wasn't a turbo curb stomp campaign?
>>551606521the short heads are fine, again, suchian, prehistory crocodilians, like postosuchus, have short skulls because theyre terrestrial predators trogolodons are spinos
>>551606619It's just an early demo(not cope)
>>551606946Troglodons are trash and look dumb. They can't even run right and their sail is pathetic. Not even cool rawr sound or neck break animation.
>>551606892Gorbad is horrendous. He is on the level of Daniel.
>>551607783He would be better if you didnt have to meet unit restrictions to enable certain plans. I like to make my own compositions and maybe I want a benfit of a certain plan but dont want to have shitty artillery in my army.
I remember people overall not being thrilled with Epidemius. I've finished his campaign twice and thought he's okay, easy and simple but not overpowered I think (been a while). But yes sadly TW3 is mostly just feature and mechanic bloat into power creep. Far too many options, easy access to too much power. Have to basically ignore most of each new LL's power when playing them in attempt to bring some more enjoyment. Funny game.
>>551606892EpidemiusAzazel's unique faction ability is negated by the fact that if you want to occupy your settlemet on turn 1, you also have to vassalize the norscan faction which pretty much wipes out the bonus relations you get for human factions.The only powerful thing about Gordbad is his -1 goobal recruit turns, nothing else s on the same level as other Warhammer 3 LLs.
>>551606892Probably Chorfs but only in the early-mid game since you have a lot of shit to deal with and you only got Hobgoblin units (they aren't bad though). But its true that a lot of them are super OP. Played Golgfaggot not that long ago and my gold never went below 10k for the entire campaign, its ridiculous how much money you get with him. The fact that you're also neutral meaning nobody is out to get you makes it a cakewalk
Shill me on SFO
>>551608503It's one of the mods of all time
>>551608387>EpidemiusI stand corrected as fuck, his first 2 or 3 hours of gameplay are fucking miserable. >Azazelyeah fair. I mean Kemmler's bonus +30(?) to relations with daemons has never stopped N'kari from declaring war the turn I see they/them. The only faction where a cross-race affinity is fairly worthwhile is Azhag and even then Vlad just likes anybody krumping Empire and Dawi. (Arkhan/VC/VCoast bonii are negligible since nobody plays a campaign long enough to meet the others)
>>551589990Drycha might have confederated that generic Treeman faction in Southern Cathay.
Are ungor archers ever worth recruiting? I feel like I've never had a battle where they get more than 20 kills, but maybe I dont know how to use them.
Vlad and isabella are so FUCKING annoying bro
>>551609139not really
>>551609139theyre archers in a unga bunga faction, that should inform you everything you need to know
>>551609139They are kind of like peasant bowmen in that you bring a few of them just because there aren't any better options for the role they have, despite being ass.They are free and don't have unit caps so just bring 2-4 of them earlygame and have them all focus fire the same target until you can afford to replace them with cavalry or monsters.They are expendable anyways.
>>551602814they actually just damage your buildings occasionally, doesn't even happen if there isn't a lord around
How do I use meat shield and expendable units?
>>551609597as meat shields and expendable units, i think
I really shouldn't have tried to save the dwarfs. I'm stuck in a 2-front war where the skellingtons and vampires declare war on me on rotation. All my cities were razed and reset back to zero. Now I need to commit to exterminating the vampires and losing my mainland cities again.Playing on ironman really makes the game interesting though
>>551597448Why does everyone think the DLC clue about claws and roars means the LL is Li Dao? Couldn't that also apply to Yin-Yin?
Cumming inside Yin-Yin...
>>551609748>xe went to sartosa instead of crusading through khemri
>>551609597It's to lock the enemy frontline into battle so you can fuck them up with your high tier units. I learned that from fighting the rats. They'd keep fucking sniping my lords as the shitty rats kept all my melees from advancing
I think I am not good enough to play on Hard anymore. I just can't win against 6 stacks of whatever the fuck with tier3/4 units while I am barely fielding my second stack.
>>551603154I prefer the croc-mouth because it's distinctive. If you told me those were Saurus I'd believe you.
>>551609597by replacing them with something better, expendable units are not actually expendable as having them get rolled in a single battle means you need several turns to replenish them or need to be able to rerecruit them after the battle. For a faction like say ogres if you use gnoblars as intended you are hamstrung because you have 1 recruitment slot
i should do a skaventide run, with a stack of skaven slaves running with my main army, i think thatd be fun
Late game army for Boris ursus is just patriarch, 2-4 elemental bears, maybe a few bear sleds and fill the rest with bear riders?
>>551610850you do not bother with elemental bears, you use full bear rider, possibly two patriarchs for healing as boris gets access to the 40 attack prayer with boons and a frost maiden gives you 20% campaign movement speed. If you want a monster you take the beast elemental cause it's faster and it's anti infantry
>>551611237but but...giant ice bear is coolAlthough yeah, its pretty slow
the araby mod looks pretty cool actually. are the other ovn mods good?
>Khornetaurs still cant be recruited by Beastmen
>>551612949Cheats fix this. I use it for Taurox, and the other Beastmen mod that lets them recruit a few wild monsters.
>>551612949Yeah get the mod. It also lets them be buffed with hit skills like regular minos. Must have for a thematic army.
Bruh... So this is my life now? At least it looks like she can solo shit thanks to her regen piece of gear

>>551613538These skellingtons aren't routing after they're generals are assassinated. My new strat has to be sending Repanse alone while my army hides in a corner until they're softened up
>>551613812I know there arent official monogod minotaurs for everyone but is there any mod that makes custom monogod minotaurs for the other 3? Minotaurs are just fun to use.
>>551613527yes, they are your stat stick infantry, you pay more for a much stronger unit, if you are stacking all the phoenix guard bonuses they are strong against everything not just line holders. However phoenix guard are a different redline while silvern guard share the same line with spearmen and seaguard. Have you confederated Eltharion? if you are playing yvresse using faith bearers is good enough.
>>551613889https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2845365747&searchtext=minotaurs
>>551614013Cool, thanks anon
>>551614013Tzeentchbulls
>>551613983Nah, i'm playing as Yvresse. Kept the dual start. Just pushed out the orcs on Ulthuan and have jailed Skarbrand and currently taking his territory.Money is real tight, pretty much just getting cash from quest battles lol. Never played as Eltharion so the mistwalker units are new to me.
Watch her go! This is peak warfare. Valiant defeat my ass
>>551614109I have never seen the mod before.. I was just curious about how lazy you were so I entered "Minotaurs" into the workshop search field and that's on page one.. I'm playing Tekken rn.
>>551615749Why not go for a mosh pit at that point? 18 archers 1 wizard 1 repanse
>>551615749Is funny how even Rapanse will manhandle Franz. She jobs to any real melee lord tho. Kroq Gar, Skarbrand, Imrik, Tyrion.. they all rape her.
>>551617010when did pro wrestling jargon become so mainstream? Jobbing wasnt a thing commonly said outside of talking about wrestling like 5-10 years ago.
>>551617142wrestling?I just see jobs as something awful so I find the word "jobbing" funny cause it makes me thing they are wage cucks and suffer.I dunno where that is from or what it really means besides "u suck"
I think Franzs campaign is only so popular because inexperienced players have to restart it so often since they get steamrolled in the early game.

>>551621728Dwarves are especially shit looks like. Really only played mp in 2 and dwarves were hard for elves, not a great match up. More even in 3 but they must have got something new that fucks up dwarves, maybe the ships company is just cost effective against dwarven warriors or something.
>bought TWW3 3 weeks ago>65 hours playedIt's a fun game and I was/am a big Age of Sigmar guy but now I see why people were upset about the OG setting getting replaced.It's hard but I can't fight the urge to click 1 more turn. Is it normal to only manually fight defeats or pyrrhic victories that I think I can edge out? Most of the time either army is clearly superior so i auto resolve it.
>>551622098I generally only AR decisive. There are exceptions (sometimes still fight it for fun or to try something out). I do use a cheat that removes sieges/walls and buffs garrisons so I'm more interested in manuals.
>>551622098what battle difficulty are you playing on?
Imagine: there are "people" ITT who think TW40kuck isn't going to be pure, undiluted AIslop:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpwN9ziY39sLol. Nay, LMAO even.
>>551606619TW40k battles will casually have far bigger army numbers than ever before, let alone than Total Skirmish that is TWW, thanks to every battle being a survival battle aloneFlavorful faction variety is good of course too.
>>551621728I played a bunch of MP and one thing is true, Beastmen are a fucking plague. Beastmen armies always consists of 70% missile cav. They have extreme speed, are nearly 100% AP and even shred in melee again low-mid tier infantry. Killing those beastmen stacks is brutal. I mostly play melee Cathay and there is a 0% chance of winning. Doesn't help that beastmen players also have ADHD and micro their missile cav harder than the campaign AI on crack. It's a nightmare.. Only once saw a beastmen army lose and that was to Slaanesh cause once those licky horses connect, shit is over.

>>551613236>>551613847you have become a master of warhammer "strategy"its all downhill from here unfortunately

This time it might actually be over... I'm fighting the current rank 1 greenskins in the north and getting surprise attacked from the south by rank 15 Wurrzag. It's also almost time for the 2x crisisI miss having secured flanks in other campaigns... The only hope seems to be forcing my way into former Cathay territory and gifting all the settlements I get on the way to Karl to make him my super ally
The only joke here is TCALUK balancing the singlcel tutorial babbymode based on competitive MP unit/faction win-/pickrates. Now THAT's actually funny, haha :D
>>551623461Teclis campaign is kinda AIDS tho right? Atleast it was before the rework.
>>551623592By turn 103 you should be the size of red blob if not double. That's on you.>>551623643It was. Supposedly it's much better now, didn't play him yet so dunno.
>>551623592Take your strongest army, sail to the galleons graveyard, take it. The AI usually never attacks that spot. The move to Lustria and start from scratch there. Grab all the heroes and heaviest units you can.
>>551623592You literally cannot lose. Just grab your lord and migrate to Reikland where Karl the Cuck has already amassed a 50+ settlement gigaempire. Conquer a random settlement on his border and you're golden.
>>551622326normal for both difficulties
>>551622098I recommend turning up Battle Difficulty and turning down the AI stat bonus. Battle difficulty affects autoresolve, so it will lie to you that a battle is winnable when it isn't if you put it to Easy and you will feel less competent than you are>>551622337Dawn of War remaster already used AI for texture upscaling.
>>551623880do what that guy>>551623909 said about battle diffilculty. the battle ai on easy is like 80IQ and on very hard it's 84IQ. the autoresolve however is fucked. values on very hard are very balanced and on easy any army you have is a doomstack against the ai.

>>551625268Please don't stroke to me. Am awesome dragon
>>551625421If you pull your units off the field then obviously you are going to lose their contribution to the balance of power.
introducing: Mio Ying
>>551625486Army losses penalty is separate from balance of power. If your army consists of only 1 lord vs fullstack, army losses wont kick in and he can stand his ground despite 1-to-999 balance of power. If your army consists of 1 lord and 19 Spearmen you order them to retreat, Lord gets punished with army losses and he routs despite same 1-to-999 balance of power (and no units lost).

>Arbaal wants to fight Chaos Dwarves when there are real Dawi right over the hillNani?
>>551625730I don't think you understand how army losses work in this game but either way your original complaint still makes no sense. They are calculated based on the things currently on the the field of battle. If you withdraw something then it's not on the field so it is no longer a part of that calculation, the same as if routed or ran off.
Troops that pull out of the battle and refuse to come back are lost. This is a gameplay convention since it'd be kind of OP to just be able to tell people to wait outside the play area and then return.

So many mechanics and resources in one. Also sadly the -% construction cost rite doesn't affect outpost buildings via gifting. A shame since a lot of them cost a lot (landmarks being 6k ea for example).
>>551625730That makes 100% sense to me think about it this way if you had 50 000 troops on the field and lose 30 000 on them then obviously you're going to break and fucking run but think about the difference you've lost twenty thousand men now if you STARTED with twenty thousand men you wouldnt just break instantly because you had twenty thousand men
>>551628538>>551625730None of this would be a problem, if campaign cheats didn't exist. Imagine a campaign played strictly at base unit stats where you can't pump your lords to 100MD.
>>551627974western rome
>>551628640that would mean you would have to, *gasp*, use tactics in this tactical war game instead of just right clicking on the enemy and autowinning
>>551626296I am not arguing that the mechanic is broken, I'm arguing its stupid.
>>551628120I was confused at first, but the resources are all essentially "number goes up for free stuff":>Elven Trade; your money v2. Max out always.>Dedication: Needed to buy permanent buffs>Dragonship supplies: converted from elven trade, buys dragonship upgradesIn a nutshell, just max out Elven Trade. Have as much Dragonship Supplies as you can without crippling Trade (I aim for 50% of trade generation). Dedication can be pretty much ignored; every Outpost generates 10 per turn and it has lowest cap required to unlock everything so its a non-issue.

I don't really like Confederating.Since the AI gets buffs and can field more armies, even though it's retarded, it can more easily defend larger territory than I can.
>>551638468no upkeep, mad ambush chances, very good meellee, rape, fast cavalry, fast shooty cavalry, big fucking monsters
does sieging for a long time cause attrition to the defenders? or is the only thing that happens is that the ai attacks?
>>551638468Stealth encampment means your armies are invisible all the time which the AI can't cope with. AI don't really get the idea of targeting herdstones either.When they reworked them they took away all the downsides on features but kept the upsides. So now it's all upsides.
>>551638970>does sieging for a long time cause attrition to the defenders?If you are playing a real total war game like shogun with seaons in winter you will take attrition due to the cold
>>551639120im playing warhammer 2So the only thing that happens is that at the last turn they atack?
>>551639282In Warhammer each turn you spend under siege you take attrition and (for whatever reason) the attacker gains immunity from attrition (except when they don't, for whatever reason).Once the turn timer hits zero, the defenders starve out.

>>551636954Obviously, he meant that he will "never stream again until the end of the year". You can't get rid of cancer that easily.
>>551639601i don't see much difference to wh3
>>551639387so before it hits 0 i get attacked right?
>>551639764Seperating the ai works on wh3 as well. But here AI just watches their units get sandwiched a meter away.
>>551639120>real total war game like shogun with seaonsPeople saying such bullshit is funny as fuck. Especially considering that Shogun 2 is the most broken and cheesiest game in the series. It basically has all the same abuses as Warhammer but overall the game is way simpler and more straightforward so they're even more effective. You can basically defeat any siege with just a garrison because there are no viable enemies to prevent it. There isn't even any decent artillery unlike in Medieval 2.
>>551639932This is very unlikely to happen (enemy will almost certainly reinforce the position), but if they actually allow themselves to starve down to 1 turn left, you can hit auto resolve and lose like two guys because they'll have like one health each.
>>551640078>There isn't even any decent artillery unlike in Medieval 2.you have never played shogun
Would quite like it if CA fixed the game. In the meantime TGIF (thank god it's Footballdartsmas). Nagash soon (soon for a small dwarfhold).
>>551640065isn't that just because he's surrounding the ai from all sides?
>>5516384681. AI really hates attacking settlements when it cant overpower it with 300% larger army, making Herdstones really safe with their huge garrison2. No minor settlements to protect, when 90% of AIs ability to fight back is suicidal backcaps to cripple your economy and hope another AI can grind you down3. Stealth encampment is OP since AI breaks if you're invisible (and the other option isnt possible, ie attacking Herdstone with 300% overmatch)4. Main way of battling for Beastmen is Ambushes which, again, AI simply cannot handle
>Cuckgend out>Grubby inThe future of TWWH3 couldn't get any brighter:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7hvaA0VPdo
soooo... it's just a given that archers only function in auto resolve and don't shoot at things in actual battles?
>>551640629i lost all respect for that cunt, when he started playing wow. fucking blizzard buttkisser
>>551640128I conquered the world once in coop and never touched it again. Never once have I seen AI build cannons or whatever artillery is in Shogun 2.

>>551630284How is it stupid, how should it work instead?
>>551641978That's Malakai. The closest greenskin is far enough you don't need to fight him. In fact he usually gets jobbed by Ungrim or Zoolahoo so you may not even meet him at all.
>>551641153It was medium difficulty, I'm pretty sure. It doesn't really matter, though, because at the end we just spammed armies and it worked because the whole map is two straight lines that you can easily block. That's probably the biggest difference between Shogun 2 and other games. Japan is a terrible location for the game, you always fight in one direction and never have any problems with dividing armies.

speaking of op beastmen. you get the other 3 LL almost for free. they're probably dead by the time you confed them, but that doesn't matter since you're raaroolling by that time already
>>551642716As crazy as it may sound, I'd prefer lopsided balance of power and army losses being separate leadership debuffs. If your commander tells half the army to retreat and half the army to hold the line for Battle of Thermopylae-esque fighting retreat, it makes no sense the defending remnant instantly routs "because they lost so many men!!!". They have not routed nor been killed. Sure, they should probably incur some leadership penalty to the rest of the troops, but outright counting them as dead with massive -100/200 leadership dwbuff it entails seems weird.

>>551646672Dwarfs are a more polished and updated faction and pretty fun
>>551646672Orcs are fine, but still in the list of factions that need updating. At the end of the list, but still.
>enemies in range>tell crossbowmen to shoot>they run right into the front line or do something retarded instead of just standing still and firing
>>551646672dwarfs are too easy now
>Fighting against Norsca>The moment battle starts, their Lord casts a spell on itself that wipes out 4 of their own unitsAny idea what this spell could be? It doesnt show up on their lord´s unit card
>>551644881This is what happens when you have to cludge two games together that were made nearly a decade apart.
>>551647517did you save the replay?
Total War: Troy, whatever happened there?
>>551647706Sadly no, but I should be able to reproduce this with some effort if no one else knows whats going on. The spell looked like flat disc of fire centered on the Lord. He cast the spell a second time about 45 seconds later before, just before the melee lines clashed, finishing off the rest of his melee front. No mods except some visual mods (more unit variation for State Troops / Bretonnian knights)
>>551645413>commissar on leman russ mountNot gonna be a thing since this is not a supported unit in nu-40k

>>551640232Last beastmeme campaign I played the ai played like I never went into ambush stance. Like they could see me no problem
legendoftotalloss got nuked just now
>>551648814The ai always knows where you are it just acts like it doesn't. Happens with every race, if you go into ambush stance they'll sometimes just stick right before your target zone so they won't get ambushed. Beastmens hidden stance is just stronger than others because you can recruit or replenish while in the stance.

>>551644173Human faction so based. One thing to note is to watch your upkeep with them as they get massive upkeep discounts when they're in their own territory. So you can go in the red on a dime
>>551638692Dunno, I personally don't like how he plays. Sure, medium is often easy, but I hate having to cheese.CA needs to actually work on battle AI.
>>551648994If 3K had medieval Europe texture/model overhaul, it'd be peak kino>Seasons, military supplies (plan expansions around spring/summer), fire attacks can set tall grass and forests on fire, wall-mountable artillery, dismountable cavalry, saboteur infantrt with throwable torches to toss onto low-tier defensive towers, deployable objects like stakes, caltrops and oil patches, builsings built into settlement exist as physical buildings on battle map, formations for infantry such as shield wall as the norm, meaty charges from cavalry along with instant suicide if charged into braced spears, unit move speed affects campaign move speed so non-artillery stacks can outmanouver artillery stacks, certain units like two-handed maces are more effective against shields, shields grant forward-facing melee defence bonus only, far better diplomacy like military contracts and much more

>>551585558Because in 40k the Imperium the absolute powerhouse in the galaxy and everyone else but the Tyranids, are the underdogs by comparison.In Fantasy the Empire and the human factions are smaller players relative to everyone else, and so come off as more relatable.
>>551650032Ok Mehmed
>>551647517Shadmans have a damage an own unit a lot ability that I'm not convinced has a payoff but I didnt think they had it by lvl 4
>>551650189The Imperium in 40k is very large and powerful, but fragmented. It simply doesn't work for Total War. Unironically 40k is much more suited for games limited to a single planet or a few systems at best.
>>551650948They already showed the whole galaxy I dont see it being a problem in game
>>551650127>Just download and learn how to use three different new programs (screen capture, video editing and converting to Webm) to see the spell being cast (which was shown on screenshot already)I feel this is rather ridiculous demand and gives you no further information besides seeing funny animation, but I'm replying just to let you know that I´m working on it.

>>55165018940k universe is at it best if you think it is as the last stand of humanity that is doomed to fail. I have no idea if the lore supports that, but this way of looking at 40k really separates it from other scifi settings and brings actual depth to setting beyond of just the immature "there is only war lol" that many see when they look at 40k for the first time

>>551652452anon...
>>551652034Ice Guard is only slightly worse than Sisters of Avelorn in ranged while being much better in melee. You're also forgetting about “By Our Blood” which is really strong.
did they completely remove minor settlement battles? havent fought one in several campaigns
>>551652870>ice guardIce.>by our bloodMy melee front line for most armies is going to be elite infantry with high enough leadership that they're all easily buffed enough to fight to the death, by our blood is an MP thing.
>>551652328Thank you for your encouragement. As I said, I am 30-year-old-boomer with absolutely zero tech knowledge, so learning anything new faces the resistance of huge frustration. Even screen capture programs are well beyond me (I managed to record 7 different black screens with different settings) so this was a huge learning moment for me. I've now managed to make a clip, but its 6 MB so I'll have to fiddle with Webm programs to fit it into 4chan's upload limit.
>>551653348They only appear if a garrison building is built in a settlement, I don't remember if the t2 or t3 is the one that changes it but it should tell you if you hover over the the garrison building.
>>551653586Any tier.
>>551653348>>551653586How did they change that? I have not played WH3, only WH2, and there you would have open field battles unless minor settlement had walls.Which was actually good design, because fuck sieges and that way you would get more open field battles.
>>551653549You really underestimate the Kislev peasants. They can punch way above their weight.But yeah, it would be nice to have more interesting endgame units for Kislev. Factions without DLCs are very underwhelming as usual.
>>551653816Because 90% of all battles were minor settlement battles and there's like 100 people in the world at best who actually enjoys them. Everyone else was sick of them.
>>551653816In WH3 they added minor settlement battles which don't have walls but have the option to build defenses and a less open map. Then after people fucking hated them for like a year they changed them to only appear if you build the garrison building. I don't think most factions get minor settlements with walls in 3 anymore, Brets do at the least.
>>551652034Ice Guard are literally shit
>>551652403>I have no idea if the lore supports thatIt used to, but it feels like in recent years the lore developments and novels have been leaning more and more into capeshit heroism, and that sense of inevitable impending doom that added tension to the setting and made it so interesting is being sort of handwaved away.

>>551650189>Because in 40k the Imperium the absolute powerhouse in the galaxy and everyone else but the Tyranids, are the underdogs by comparison.40k imperium was always billed as the underdog for ages. Space Marines are overwhelmingly powerful but so few and finite in number they struggle to be relevant to the broader scale of the galactic war. Guardsmen are underequipped and regular humans are simply nowhere near capable of fighting on the same level as the alien races. Technology is regressing and the imperium is constantly losing ground in every sector and throwing whatever duct tape and bolts they can find at whatever war they can in a desperate struggle to survive while corruption and political instability spread through every facet of the imperium.I guess that all changed when they brought back Guilliman and started pumping out infinite shitloads of extra OP Space Marines and the writers decided, actually the imperium is based and raping everything in its path.
>>551655119me when i eat too much spicy food
>>551655119what can i say. it would have been much easier to go to the unit roster and inspect the shaman, but i didn't think of that either until just now.
i was thinking the cathay maps were pretty cool but lately every single battle has been on this exact same map
>>551639601Attila is still from the era where the AI actually changes based on the battle difficulty level. On Normal for example the AI is forbidden from attempting to flank you with cavalry and will suicidally dive frontally. On VH/L the AI will attempt to flank with cavalry and will kite with ranged units but otherwise just charges its infantry headlong and blobs against a section of your frontline, allowing for easy flanks.Where the Attila AI really sucks and is abusable is siege battles. They'll just kind of dogpile their entire army into a single chokepoint and let you rearcharge them to death.I think the AI is generally performing worse in Dawnless Days just because the way that rosters are designed means that units don't always work the way that they would in vanilla, which is how the AI wants to use them. For example hybrid melee/ranged elites like those Dale archers are melee powerhouses but the AI will retreat them to the edge of the map before it lets them fight in melee if they have even 1 shot of ammo left. I don't know if increasing the battle difficulty will help the AI in the mod because it might just widen the gap between how mod units are designed and how the AI is coded to use them.
>>551652676Now think. He could have go two more gunnery mobs got more kills and ranked up to have better units to take in future battles, but no let's get the aoe spell that costs unit slots.

>>551655762>Doesnt list AoE effect, implying its a single-target spellGranted, I glossed over that as well. Especially since it lists no AoE and damage effect duration is 1 second instead of ~20 seconds it deals the AoE damage. At least this mystery is solved for now.
>>551655784If its not the WH1 map tileset, theres like two possible battle maps per area. They really skimped on this in WH2 and doubled down on it on WH3.
