>>583709692oral
>>583707051Why do you people want the ugliest movies made in history made into a total war?I have seen one movie, where some black dude crash lands in some desert and then people hunt him down in a village and whenever they shoot, a gender reveal cum splash goes into the sky for no fucking reason.Why do you want that?

>>583709931hownew.ru
Which is the best Bretonnia rework/overhaul mod?
>>583707889I keep having an issue with the covens where they just don’t show up. Do you have to establish them in a settlement you don’t own and just leave them unoccupied until you awaken the lord and then you can go take them? If so what a shit system.
>>583708182>crossbowman>rich as fuckdoubtful, if they were rich they probably wouldn't be in the army, and especially wouldn't be a crossbowman, they'd have a gun of some sort, or be a cavalryman
>>583710491I’ve only played Lily’s which is pretty good, but I don’t have a better point of comparison.
>>583708182well they're dead now
>>583710531What
>>583705246ASOIAF with Three Kingdoms level family trees and diplomacy so I can bang that whore Daenerys for her dragons.
>>583710939When I take a settlement with a vampire lair or whatever, the tab is just red and I can’t build anything there. So I’m stuck with necromancer spam.
Can I get the campaign win cheevos on the non immortal empires wh3 map?
>>583710934@grok add bird poop on her feet
>>583710934
>>583711382@gork make dis git greena and give 'im a choppa
SHOOT HER
>>583711189Obviously not my settlement but it's more or less the same thing, there should be tiny circles in the UI so you can swap over to other things, vampire lair, coven, outpost, and the actual settlement.
>>583710746I'll give that one a go then, thanks.
>>583709848Try not watching sequel slop and watch the original trilogy instead passcuck.
>>583711481
>>583711781The OT Sucks shit too
>>583711851praise gork
>>583711697Yeah I can click the circle on the side but the screen for the lair is just all red with no building options.
repostingsomeone knows how to fix this?will ditch campaign if it wont work
>>583712010I don't know maybe one of your mods is breaking it
>>583711851HOLY MY PENIS
Lizardmen feel so well rounded, first time in like 20 campaigns where I feel that the units function properly.
Skarsnik or Grom?
>>583712261They are extremely easy and overpowered, yes.
This just seems incrediby lazy. I've noticed three typos the last couple of days in diplomacy dialogue.
>>583712641he's just a wan piss fan
>>583712641I don't see the problem, maybe you're just ESL.
>>583712641its his accent dumb ass
>>583712641lold
>>583712154I read that as "hold" for a second and thought you were gay
>>583712641No piece, just war.
Man, rebellions everywhere are raping meWhy did they even fuck with Public Order so much in TWW3, it was fine previously, naturally limiting your expansion and forcing you to actually consolidate your conquests.At least dumbing down corruption was done because there are now many more corruption types and they wanted to show them off I guess. Even thought I still liked their slower spread and them being harder to eradicate
War & Piece: What is it good for? by Leo Tolstoy
>>583713405Public order is literally babymode compared to II
>>5837135382, pre-rework. 2 post-rework is the same as 3.
If you fight a battle and you win but you ended up losing a unit you care for due to a momentary lapse of attention, do you rematch or do you just suck it up?
>>583713870oh really?didnt know 3 felt always way easier in that regard
>>583706568Alberic is so cool
>>583713979Losing things you care about is a part of war
>>583713538yeah, but thishttps://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=3568799302works great
>>583713979>>583714185The rematch option is also a nice way of getting better as you can improve on how you did the fight before and the learning stays with you.Though if you just got distracted I guess that's a different story.
>>583713979sometimes
>>583714040Yeah, public order stopped being a thing in 2 after they reworked it, unfortunately. And as 3 was literally a fork of 2 it kept the same system with no change except it's called control now.
>>583713979ironman only.
>>583714246nice tynow I only need a good corruption mod both gameplaywise and graphically
>get first job after 6+ months of neetfunds enjoying life >go for TWO DAYS>already knocked out cold when i come home, don't even wanna boot up total war, don't wanna do anything except zone out then sleep then i have to do it all again the next dayholy shit, this is how most people spend 40-50 years of their lives? very epic
Just tried playing bretonnia. 1. you do not get reminders for the vow/throth system2. The tech tree is horrendous and the confederation techs are nearly all useless (as well as most of the rest of the technologies)3. The peasant economy system is trash and boring and it doesn't make any sense (peasants should be easy to field and knights more rare)4. The buildings are mostly bad (except the farm economy ones)5. You don't get any tier 0 units, so you can't even recriuit trash peasants as filler when you take a new territory6. You don't get access to any good units until tier 3-foot squires are unlocked tier 4 (lol)-blessed trebuchet is unlocked tier 5 (lmao)-questing knights take 2 turns to recruit7. Lord and hero skills suck8. The chivalry system is boring9. The green knight implementation is awkward and seriosuly outdated (and he's not that good)10. You no longer get walls at tier3 settlements which used to be a nice bit of flavourThe only good thing about bretonnia is no supply lines and good tier 4 and 5 knight units.Insane that CA now recommends this race to newcomers to the franchise
>>583710934She needs the Fey Paths* movement stance.(Underway stance, but Bretonnian)https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Fey_Paths

>>583715935Yeah norsca is weird they should be free but they arent
Consider the following thocute fay footpussy
even tho they're A*S cool af unit
>>583713979deoends on if i can be bothered
>>583715327i never felt this when i worked but i did feel too tired to do any proper creative endeavors like write or stuff like that
>>583716084I own Norsca. Just wondering if his units are needed for Ulric and such
>>583716261what am i looking at
>>583716261They were designed for and debuted in Warhammer Fantasy Battles. Just say you like it if you like it.
>>583716261you just have shit taste
>>583715354>>583716078*ahem* *taps sign*
>>583710934gross
Loving that sieges end earlier instead of having to hunt down some single unit sitting at the back
>>583716714it's just impossible to make scythes not look cool
>>583716576
>>583716823chat is this true
>>583716745Haha this is so dark, glad we don't live in such a world
>>583716830these were supposed to be Ptra angels killed and raised by Nagashwhy didn't CA make the original Ptra angels for Settra?
>>583717218Because Nagash killed them and raised them.
>>583715354>>583716078also>race built around cavalry spam in the least cavalry friendly Total War game ever made
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>583716830Is that available for vampire counts?
>>583717194And I don't even have a ladyfuck this gay world
>>583717604No. Only Nagash and Arkhan get them.
ofc they would lock blood dragons formations for nagashbuy dlc or else right
Why are ranged lords and heroes so god damned useless in this game? Spellcaster lords/heroes can single target down characters AND AOE murder entire armies, melee characters can hammer or anvil like gods and 1v1 even the strongest monsters. Meanwhile, ranged heroes and lords do not even compare, they are terrible at single target, and even worse at multi target. Why are they THIS bad? The only time I see them ever do anything resembling real damage is in auto resolve. Is what they are there for? Stacking auto resolve in your favor? Because they sure aren't worth the slot in actual manual battles. I would genuinely rather have another unit of cav or a line holder than a ranged "hero", they are so weak it's unreal.
>>583718546the real ranged heroes are those skaven magma cannons of doom
>>583718546mpniggers
>>583717547To be fair they have some of the best cavalry for the tier at a given moment
>Arkhan can't use Lore of Undeath>Arkhan can't summon TWO zombie dragonsFuck
>>583718546Empire engineers are allowed to be good
will they ever want peace or is this just my existence now leaving manny there to kill ratshes already defeated 10 stacksi have to settlement cheese it eventually, it's impossible otherwiseevery AI on the map is hyperfocusing on me since we beat the end timessohuld have let archeon rape these fuckers never making that mistake again
>>583718546empire engineers are fantastic but yeah the rest suck ass
>>583718773>reborn as the Liche King - the first of Nine Dark Lordsok dude
>>583719032hmm where do i remember that from...
Do you think I can win this ? I think I'm fucked. Vlad recruiting T5 units instantly turn 20 (I killed his starting blood knights) and having no wound timer is absolute bullshit
>>583718775That's false, they are just as useless as every other ranged lord, until you persevere through them being useless for 10-20 turns and then they become a Steam Tank, which is about what it takes for a ranged hero to actually be useful, which is transforming into an entirely different unit altogether.
>>583718973now this whore is exploting me why must I suffer
>>583717550>streamer>vtubercancer
>>583718053Niggash
>>583719235THESE ROGUE ARMY FUCKS AT LEAST SHALL FALLI know I'll stabilize this shit eventually but every turn is just pure annoyance being peppered from all sides
>>583719185All he has is 2 handmaidens and 1 unit of blood knights. The rest is trash. And vlad himself at level 20.
>>583719773Unless you have not noticed my stack is also crap, and his crap is more than enough to overwhelm mine
>>583719830maybe they would be if i didn't wipe 10 stacks THE AI IS LITERALLY DOING NOTHING BUT GOING ALL ON ME THERE'S NO INFIGHTING AMONG THE AIig they made it so nagash is the end times in their eyes...
>>583719185Welp I lostIf someone wants a crack at it I can share the save
Can't these cheatsfags show a little bit of restraint? I swear, every time I try a cheat it's so ridiculously stupid it boggles the mind. I got tired of not having a full array of legendaries on my Lords and having to randomly throw items to fill out their slots, so I grabbed the artefeacts cheat that gives you a full four slots, with loreful items. Except the fucking buffs they give you are insane. If you finish Karls items, among other things, it gives +8 MA/MD to the ENTIRE FACTION. Even just giving it to his own army would be retarded, but no, let's just give it to every single stack and garrison you have, because that makes sense. What the FUCK are these people thinking? Is it so hard to make cheats content for this game that is reasonable and in line with the rest of the game? Why must they always take it to the point that it trivializes the entire experience? This game is easy enough already without such nonsense.
>>583719185if Vlad is a problem just recruit 1 lord and keep Vlad stuck on settlement while you conquer the rest
>>583720078>beastnigger sending stack after stack across the sea for methis is gay
>>583719185>>583720318Not surprised you lost, your only hope is your handgunners but you don't have enough counters to the dogs, cavalry and bats to keep them safe and give them clean lines of fire on Vlad so you are pretty doomed. The Lahmians are a bitch too but your real problem is you have no way to effectively stop his flyers, dogs, and three much stronger cav than the mere two you have from overwhelming your ranged, which are your only hope of killing Vlad, the Lahmians, the Blood Knights AND the Mournghuls. RIP, never engage Vlad until you have a super strong stack or two stacks to his one.
>>583720459Vlad is not a problem, I killed him 3 times alreadyThe raise dead entire stacks out of nowhere that include units he is not able to recruit is the problem.
>>583720672the solution is the same
>>583720656Yeah I thought the same. I didn't engage him though, just got caught out of position and surprised (his stack was half the size when I ended my turn)
>>583719210No the babby engineer puts out some decent damage against large targets
>>583718770>Tier 2Mostly true but >t2 cav lmao>Tier 3For Anti-infantry, yes. If enemy brings T3 AL cavalry Questing Knights are fucked though>Tier 4Many good Cavalry units come online Rot Knights body Grail Knights so hard it isnt funny. Bretonnia is definitely middle of ground.>Tier 5 Lol. Lmao. Bretonnia has best cavalry at t2, but that isnt saying much. At t3 they start getting cucked against AL cavalry and by T5 they've fallen to the wayside to most Monstrous cavalry. For the most part their cavalry is nothing special, and as a tradeoff their infantry and ranged suck hard whereas other factions with almost as good or better cav get far better infantry/ranged.
>>583716745
>>583719185Needs more frontline, there's nothing to keep in reserve Also just skip empire knights until tier 3
>>583721106I don't have any frontline units to use though, it's too early to get a decent number of heroes, and steam tanks are a long ways off. Don't think two more halberdiers would have saved me there.I could have splurged for knights of the black rose but money was tight. Empire knights are indeed pretty trash though, will skip next time. Same for War Wagons.
>>583721350>Same for War Wagons.Nah they're good ladsOutriders can shoot at more because the damage is spread on more shots but wagons put pain on big stuff
>>583720923Such is the fate of a FLC faction. They, like Vampire Coast, will be left to languish in sorrow forevermore, with only cheats overhauls alleviating the pain.
>defeat according to AR FUCK ROGUE ARMIES
>>583721819Perfect face on the lord. He looks so completely done with this shit.
>>583721043but where is my lady
So what did they actually change in the 'Shogun 2: Pay us Money Again' version
>>583721819You've yourself to blame here to some extent. Your army is absolute garbage for AR.
>>583715327You'll get used to it after a few weeks to the point where you won't be dead when you get home. I wanted to quit my current job when I started but I've been there a few years now and it's fine.
>>583722197bruh i raised this army to deal with this army then be disbandedbut idk what happened with these rogue armiesdid they increase their spawn rate? they're everywhere
>>583719185there is nothing that can kill vlad in your army
I am this close to installing a mod to remove minor settlement battles. God what a fucking annoyance this shit is.
>>583722787Except for 5 handgunners which is how I killed him the last 2 timesThe problem is the cav, mournghouls and lahmian handmaidens all hitting me at the same time
>>583722738>>583721819lmao dog is begging for peace
>>583722945>missing stringlol
>>583723095his g-string hehe
>>583722945What corruption is that?
>>583716261>proto-AOS unit>CoolLiterally the basis for the ugliest army in the whole range. They have one good model. Hate these fucking things and the Mortarch mounts.
>>583723095It's a classic goblin saying

>>583723379>the crotch is the upper body of a skeletonwhat do you do to fuck up so badly that you get put there
>>583723409Really. Well, I'm from Western Badlands and I've never heard anyone use the phrase 'missing string'.
>>583723364wdym just standard undead deso + vampiric shit >now he's runningJUST DIEE
>>583717550Damn, everything jap is really just chink
>>583723606You hear it all the time if you hang out with wolf riders on the steppes
>>583724889>why does a country of 500 million people (at the time) with an unbroken 3000 year old history influence others around it
>>583723379>the ugliest armyDude, be real. You might dislike the army but you know there's worse misfires in the game's model line than the Temu Barlowe range.
>>583724889Wait, did they consider Tokugawa shogunate foreigners/barbarians? That doesn't even make sense. They're not even using the slogan right.
>>583723667The vampiric corruption in neferata's lands doesn't quite look like that. There's a lot less of that blueish aura.
https://youtu.be/9PFz9FQsU8w?t=192
>>583725290yeah that's the undead desolationit's nagash bwana
>>583725320Don't tempt me to do yet another wood elf campaign. I'm trying out Bretonnia right now.
>>583722328thanks for the encouragement lad :))I don't wanna disappoint my extended family that has helped me out a ton throughout the years they all were begging me to get a job by quitting so I'll try and tank ita s much as possible it's not just the tiredness, waging feels strangely lonely and depressing, I was around people all day, 'yet when I come home I feel more lonely than when I game in my house all day wo leaving it, you feel me? strange feel
>>583725290It's the undead wasteland unique to nagash. On top of maxing out vampiric corruption it locks the land that way as long as his faction owns the majority of the settlements in it, other factions get red climate penalties from being in it.
>>583718546The multiplayer community doesn’t like ranged lords and heroes
>>583718546They really fucking suck ass real badThey either have aoe attacks like the engineer or suck complete balls, the wood elf roster is abysmally bad due to that
>>583725689This undead wasteland?
wait so chaos can never be purged from the south pole? Even with max vampiric corruption (don't have it rn though)It's just not decreasing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfOTyfjDCI0
>>583719185Recruit OUTRIDERS and WAR WAGONSRepeat after me: the Empire’s infantry is a trap.
>>583725224The Tokugawa Shogunate was siding with the foreigners at the time (not like they had a choice) that's why.
>>583725929Obviously as there's a tear leading into the realm of chaos similar to the one in the northern pole
>>583725924There is genuinely no point in using Wood Elf heroes over Wood Elf units because of that, yeah. Wood Elves LLs only escape from the curse because, ironically for the mega focus ranged faction, they're all melee and casters, except two of them are "hybrids" who you just use as melee lords anyway, except they occasionally shoot stuff as they charge towards the enemy.
>>583723379Arthas and Nerzhul have far better taste than Nagash
>>583726313chaos is gonevanquished in the end timesLEAVE MY REALM
>>583725925Yeah actually, weird she gets the climate but not the land effect. Nagash has to do a ritual to make the land blue
>>583726489I look like this irl
Feels like a wasted opportunity that none of the LLs or factions have a gimmick for mechanical interaction with the wasteland climate.
>>583725924>>583726327They can be all right as Glade lord+glade captain+waywatcher artillery group, stick them on one large unit/monster while the army fights then half way through the battle make sure they're plinking away a second monster/monstrous infantry/cav/etcThey have homing arrows too so while slow it's consistent
>>583718546>>583725924Ranged lords/heroes are fine and balanced because they can generate ~50% more gold value over the fight than it costs to pick them (if they get to shoot enemy SEM the entire time). They are SEM value counters.T. MPfag ruining your game
>>583726817back pain must be tough
>>583727095Back pain is an exercise skill issue
>>583726073https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQsvEh_HSEE
>>583726952That only holds up until you compare them to having three actual units from the Wood Elf roster, which will out perform them significantly. Heroes take time to build up, and start off weak, that's why it's supposed to be rewarding and they are supposed to be powerful once they start gaining enough levels. But with ranged heroes and lords, that payoff never happens and you are always better off just using an actual unit, which outperform them from start to finish in any given campaign.

>>583727429Why was the giant flesh-eating reindeer wyvern included in the Slaanesh DLC?
>>583727926uuuuhhhhhhh
>>583718993Dorf engineers are neat because of resuply and buffs.But as a unit? Yeah...
>>583727926Uh, I dunno. Thanks for the superchat.
>>583727429https://youtu.be/4h8PI_MOltk?t=28
>>583727070I really do not understand why CA fails to keep MP balance separate from how the single player campaign is balanced, to solve issues like this.
>gunpowder units in med2 have no problem shooting directly bellow them>this is lost technology in wh3 somehowCAN THEY PLEASE FIX THIS?IT'S THE MOST ICONIC WAY TO USE GUNS IN THIS KINDA SETTING
>>583726079Do you just go full missile cav/chariots or do you still keep some artillery and guns ? I guess the war wagons might be halfway decent at frontlining, still expensive though
>>583728541we hear you. next patch you get a resource bar to fill and can be spent on units.
Is there a patch releasing soon? There's so many issues, bug and oversights from the last DLC. 0 playtesting was done for it's release. Halted my Nagash world dominance campaign due to that.
Is it just my game that does this thing sometimes mid battle where it just kills the music for the remainer of the battle?
>>583729018yeah it plays the "battle over" music instead weird.
>>583728928they're on post DLC vacation. and its soon christmas holidays soooo maybe feb?
>>583728928They're patching once a week until vacation.

I know most don’t like to invest on Nagash’ red line, but I think that the free regen at the end of it might be one of his best skills. So what are your preferred red line perks?, I personally think Hungering Skies is the best one.
>>583730647several of the yuan emperors only ever spoke mongolian and they did bring a ton of mongolian culture with them. the xiongnu did a better job integrating than the mongols did and even they kept a lot of steppe culture.

Hello? Siege rework?

what the fuck is this retarded terrain

reminder that TCA changed how the workshop looks on purposethey made the featured mods less exclusive to reduce the dopamine modders get from reaching therethis change alone reduced motivation of all modders by at least 25%, experts say
I just walked to a quest battle. What a surreal experience.
>>583731765knight* fuck i beg forgiveness
It annoys me that Nagash can't confederate Noctilus and Cylostra.
>>583731374Won't matter to me because I'll be still using the Recruit Defeated Legendary Lords cheat regardless.

Can someone explain to me why I would want to buy Shogun Remastered? Aside from slightly more convenient mod support and a proper scaling UI, is there anything else in it a TW player would want?
>>583731765Army. But honestly he is worthless either way. Just get another paladin. At least you can level those up.
>>583727926They wanted to have at least one big monster unit since every chaos dlc has to have one but couldn't think of a more slaanesh specific one.
>>583723595Someone has to pick up the calcium from the ground>>583725220There's definitely worse individual models, but I don't think there's an army with a worse unifying aesthetic than the Ossiarchs. The new Dwarfs looks like shit, but I think these guys look worse. They're like ugly Necrons.
>>583732083just buy it so we get hyenas 2
Opinions on minor settlement battles?
>>583731907wish I could get to him...
>>583731969I fought a battle manually today. Crazy shit man feels illegal
>>583731781That hell has existed since the dawn of immortal empires
yeah I dont recommend public order mods when playing chaos dwarfs feels dogshit to play with the way their labour eco works
>>583732153surely they buff him in the upcoming rework
>>583732267they're ok
>>583732083The grass and lighting looks better I guess, and having quick deal and modern battle controls is pretty nice. If you don't play modded Shogun 2 I will also say the bug fixes in Remastered are huge and should have been fixed in base Shogun 2 ages ago.
>>583732267The absolute worst when you're a shit race with crappy garrisons like the Tomb Kings. Kind of interesting when you're attacking, maybe better than normal sieges.
>>583727926The developers are laboring under a secret mandate that every new Chaos DLC must add at least one monstrous unit to the Beastmen roster.
>>583732467Oh, okay, bug fixes actually interests me. Thank you! And I guess diplomatic quick deal is nice, though I remember that diplomacy kind of useless in base Shogun 2. Even if I'm trading wards with someone, that agreement breaks on Realm Divide or I complete the game before anyone in my third generation reaches adulthood.
>>583732668Well there actually is a good new feature of the remastered version, the ability to disable Realm Divide for when you want non-cancer campaigns. Playable minor factions without a mod is also pretty cool and it's sad to see that Horsham is still stubborn about more campaign options and playable minor factions.
>>583715327>>583725651work is exhausting and the commute don't helpthe neet life is pretty good except for the lack of money which is a problem unless you can work remotely like the changeling
I need TW Age of Sigmar because I don't want to give up beastmemes after CA abandons TWW3.
>>583733037should have bought bitcoin in 2012right now I could be enjoying life doing nothinglike greasuswhat's done is done
>>583717194it's a shame caesar never came around to solving the problem
How do you make BRAPtonia good and not the obvious worst faction in the game?
>>583718546Alith Anar has the super piercing artillery arrows at least. You know remember that Markus had them too until MPfags whined
>>583733408You can't.Seriously.
>>583733073The RAA ROOs were shifted out of AoS so they could peepeepoopoo in TOW. So even in Age of Sigmar you're Beastmemeless.
>>583733305It's a shame revolutions never come until it gets so bad that the intellectuals start to suffer.But I suppose if humanity had the empathy to realize this was a problem before it happens, it wouldn't happen to begin with.
>>583733623Hey if ancient abandoned armies were off the table we would have never got Chorfs in this game.
whats the difference from colonise and occupy as norsca (sail?)
>>583733408they're fun :)
>>583733424Didn't Aislinn's ranged buff also get its effects cut down by half because MPfags complained before release?
>>583733424Does Orion still have his giant ballista javelins?
the donut is pink every single run now
mpfags would walk into carrhae and tell the parthians to stop cheating
>>583733408First of all, get rid of peasant economy because it's fucking retarded that recruiting about 800 peasants means Bretonnia gets emptied of population. It's double retarded considering Chaos Dwarfs have an economy entirely based on slaves and yet throwing thousands of slaves at their enemy without their economy resenting it at all is their most basic tactic.Second, make their vows/troths less of a checklist to use higher tier units and more of a roguelike character progression system based on what they go through in the campaign. Focus on how their quests mold them as characters, which is actually what Bretonnia was about when they released in Warhammer 1 with the big character traits update at that moment.Third, make their decent units available earlier, Bretonnian early game is MISERABLE and the fact they get "Greatswords but worse" at fucking tier 4 is a damn joke.
>>583716745>>583721043FOR ZE LADY!*does nothing and dies*
>>583734328Last run I did (tehenhauin) it was glazed, by that I mean full white by Tyrion's hand, besides 2 spots that were owned by Allarielle and a couple random gates still held by minor factions. Might have helped that I helped take down Morathi and used a sea lane to deep strike Naggarond for fun with no intention of keeping it though.
>>583734504>more of a roguelike character progression system based on what they go through in the campaignSoulful traits based on roleplaying? Lost technology.
>>583732083I will not reward FOMO tactics.
>>583734504It would be interesting if Bretonnians got Virtues/Vows based on what they do.Like a Lord who wins five battles in areas with at least 40 daemonic corruption might get Vow of Purity, or winning several battles without ranged units in your army getting you the Vow of Noble Disdain, etc.
>>583732083Japanese voice over.
>>583733786>It's a shame revolutions never come until it gets so bad that the intellectuals start to suffer.This guy thinks he will be the party elite.Revolutions only occur when people and their children go hungry. Self styled 'intellectuals' almost always end up casualties in the revolution because being an 'ideas' guy doesn't produce food.Almost always, unless they help orchestrate the revolution for their coup for power, 'intellectuals' are the most ardent defenders of the status quo and the very last portion of any society to realise it is futile. Modern equivalents of 'intelligentsia' are the most pampered, soft, and protected class of human beings to ever live. They will cry and moan about their ideas and status quo right up until the wall.Useful idiots, one and all.
>>583728365Because there is no significant amount of people complaining about MP fags ruining it and thus they don't see an advantage to have two different balancing teams
>>583734869the units already speak japanese ....
>>583717194>There was a good 20 years in time in which you could buy a house with a single month's worth of salary.Holy fucking shit man, that's so unimaginable now.
Do you fine people agree that the early game feels the best? No matter the faction it's only the first battles and first conquered towns that feel really meaningful. You carefully pick skills, equipment, pay attention to quests since they handsomely reward you with much needed cash. You pay attention to your army comp, losses and replenishment, trying to squeeze as much out of your limited early roster...Why can't they make the whole game to feel like early game? Maybe they should make leveling slower and reduce the stacking campaign bonuses I honestly don't know where exactly the problem lies.I find it hard to play any campaign past turn 30 or 40. I know I miss on a lot of stuff, but it's so difficult to continue caring.
Thoughts on this? Seems really mediocre for a T5 landmark.
>>583732429>Bretonnia>ReworkJust use cheats, man, it's never happening.
>>583735158You, uh, might want to check the years that was true. People had bigger things to worry about.
>>583735279>recruit rank for captainsWhy do captains even exist? And generals too for that matter.
>>583735279its good. ca thinks lord recruit ranks is really good for some reason
>>583735008>This guy thinks he will be the party elite.On the contrary, I know I'm shit.What I meant to say, is every successful revolution happened because the people who in previous times would be welcomed into the upper class, suddenly are not welcomed, and in fact are being treated just as poorly as the lower class people they thought they escaped from.Only then do you have enough people of influence to rally/round-up the lower class into actually working together.Intellectuals was a lazy shorthand>>583735193I found with the Old World Campaign I kept the "early game" feeling for much longer.I think the map design is a major factor, usually by turn 30-40 you've conquered everything you want to conquer and defeated everyone you wanted to defeat, and now are dealing with the shitty factions who don't really feel connected to your campaign goal at all.With the Old World Campaign, you can be 50 turns in and still not even have all of the Fog of War revealed for the Empire.
>>583735193Yes lol. This has been a very common complaint about TW since, I dunno, the very first one? The game is at its most fun when you have limited armies and resources and your few high tier units are supported by primarily low tier units and you actually feel the impact. When you and the enemy both have one monstrous unit that you have to consider how to best use yours and how to deal with their's, the battles are engaging and fun. Late game you have an entire army of monsters.Typically the game is most fun in the early to mid game, by the end game you're stomping everything. That is what TW has TRIED to fix for decades with end game events like invasions from foreign armies, realm divide, etc.
>>583735368Hm...?OH, right, lmao.Still, the lines behind those times were still not as ridiculous as shit has gotten.
>>583734328my donut is pink :3
>>583735396Generals a flying monster, which noteworthy in the empire roster.Captains... I dunno.
>>583735663Proof?
>>583734504Actually good ideas. Peasants need to be what they're supposed to be in the lore, giant chaff to throw at the enemy to hold them down in preparation for the glorious charge, which means they should be super easy to recruit, plentiful, and have major replenishment buffs. Bretonnia shouldn't have good infantry but they should have huge mobs of infantry that can tarpit better than anyone else in the game.
so bloodthirsters are basically just big chaos furies that die just as fast on their way over to the enemy, and if you look away from their combat for more than 5 seconds
>>583735158The house had no running water, electricity. Had maybe 3 rooms at best and was made out of unsealed wood floors and walls. Oh you mean in the cities? 1-2 room rat and roach infested shitholes wit no electricity, dirty 'running' cold only water and outdoor pits for toilets. Having to start a fire to heat the stove up to boil water for baths? or coffee or toast or anything?Sure, houses are a rort now, but a house from 1950 would be unliveable by modern standards. If for nothing else running a modern fridge tv and charging your phone would short the whole house.
>>583735876>Why can't my peasants tarpit chosen?
>>583735421Old World Campaign is a mod that changes the map? I did think that "The Empire" is too small for my tastes, and it's been my favorite region to play in. Does the mod also change how fast you progress in terms of buffs and economy? It's just that I feel like it's one of the boredom factors as replenishment and leadership become meaningless very quickly I feel like. I also don't like how in the end your main character ends up becoming an unkillable god, even if it's some puny mage like Balthasar Gelt of the Empire. You can throw him right into the line of spearmen and he'll just beat them all to death with his stick eventually.I'll go check this mod out anyway, as bigger map does sound nice.
What factions have dogshit heroes?I am talking about "I don't want more than one in my stack" tier
>>583735965You watch too many movies.
>Got bored of Nagash halfway theough the campaignGod the pyramid shit is so slooooow. Also, does the AI hard target Mortis Engines? My lodestone shit is fine but ot seems the battle AI has a hateboner for mortis engines...
>>583736076old world's whole map is much much bigger than all of IE, probably 2-3x? and 'yet its only the old worldso yes the map is massive and visually great, I did one campaign and it was amazing, but the turn times are brutal, 5-6 minutes
>>583736162he is right but i dunno why he said 1950 aka the birth of the suburb and all its assorted comforts, that's more like a 1910s house. 1950s houses would just give you cancer from the asbestos.
>>583735193Yes, this is a known problem with TW games. The issue is that once you start snowballing nothing is really challenging or interesting anymore, since you no longer need to really pay attention to what you're doing since the campaign is over already, and now you're just going through the motions. They tried to fix this with things like crisis, but it ultimately does nothing except add to the tedium of the late game as you send all your giant armies at all of their giant armies and fall asleep or just start auto resolving everything it's all so trivial. CA should be trying to figure out how to keep you from getting to that point and basically making what you get in the early game the ENTIRE game, if they ever want to fix the issue. Easier said than done, of course.
>>583735439>That is what TW has TRIED to fix for decades with end game events like invasions from foreign armies, realm divide, etc.I've never even seen end game events, they happen sooo late, like in a hundred of turns. You need to have an iron will to play that long.I know you can adjust the invasion time, but I kept it default as I don't know how strong they are and what they even do.I've seen streams where end game chaos invasion just helped the streamer get rid of his opponents, and then he just defeated what was left of them which was quite funny.
>>583735663Who is Homer Simpson?
>>583735968Yes, why can't they, since that's exactly what they do in the lore? Wave after wave of Bretonnian peasants drowning the tide of Chaos in their sweaty and unwashed bodies is exactly what the faction fantasy calls for.
>>583736535Homo Simpson?
>>583736076There's two.Old World Campaign is FUCKING MASSIVE goes from nehekhrara to Chaos Wastes, and from the Maelstrom to Ogre Mountains in terms of locations, but as the other anon said, it's also like 3x larger than the IE map so everything is huge.Old World Campaign Classic removes everything that wasn't in Total Warhammer 1, so it's a lot easier to run on systems that can't handle Old World.As for your other issues, unfortunately you'll need to look for other mods that cover those.Famously SFO slows down the entire campaign in major ways and rebalances everything, but it'll be at least a month if not three before that mod is updated again.>>583736305End Turn Times are about 2-3 minutes now with the update. Still long, but nowhere near as long as they used to be.
>>583730853this but vampire counts and coast
>>583736338People have sealed their houses for as long as houses have been built. That anon is a retard who doesn't know what he's talking about.
>>583735905They are damage dealers. If you are sending them in first, you are playing the game wrong. You are the type of person who would complain that Greatswords are terrible because they never bothered flanking with them.
>>583735713>Generals a flying monster, which noteworthy in the empire roster.I suppose. But they don't really have any of the bells and whistles that other races have for their generic melee lords and are now mostly outclassed by the Seneschal like the Huntsman General was outclassed by the Master Engineer.>Captainscan get a pegasus, but they're still incapable of anything while on it.
>>583736671oh yeah he's wrong about that but no water, heat and electricity would make anyone in the modern day kill themselves
>>583736641>2-3 minutes now with the update. Still long, but nowhere near as long as they used to be.sounds good, might give it another run eventually it's genuinely simply better to play on that map than with IE for the old world races, the AI is too retarded to utilize the IE map, cept goofy stuff like occaissional invasion trains it barely leaves its continent so what's even the point of having naggarond on the map (altho yes after the update turn times are very fast n that's good) i really wish WH3 was a globe map that wrapped around properly, it would improve the game so much its insane, make both the player and AI more dynamic, cathay colonizing naggarond every time, cathay being a factor for naggarond at all etcbut its impossible in this dogshit engine i guess + too much work for CA
>>583736946A shame we won't see fantasy on the new engine, I'd be curious if it could fix issues like that.Oh, and word of warning, I noticed whenever I'm near the southern border of the Old World Map, I drop to like 12 frames per second, not sure what's up with that.
>>583736641I'm downloading the Old World mod now, we will see how it goes.Old World Classic says it's not updated though. Does it still work? I'm very curious about that one in particular because it only has the most interesting part of the map for me. If the whole campaign will be about just uniting The Empire and occasionaly protecting it from monsters that'll be the best.
>>583735396>Why do captains even exist?They have the hold your ground buff to make sure emp units don't fold instantly.
>Nurgle long victory conditional>Have an advanced military building cycle a billion times.>It's turn 130+, after the endgame crisis, and it's still at 0Fuck this shit
I need a mod that will give me full control over Military Allies so I can save the Old World from fucking falling apart every time.
>>583715354>2. The tech tree is horrendous and the confederation techs are nearly all useless (as well as most of the rest of the technologies)I remember it feeling innovative and powerful at the *time*, but with the pace of the game most of these factions just aren't gonna be alive by the time you've researched it.>3. The peasant economy system is trash and boring and it doesn't make any sense (peasants should be easy to field and knights more rare)Knights are limited by the virtues and, of course, just having way higher upkeep. The peasant economy system is , I think, a bit misleading in how it's presented, people feel like they should never ever hit the limit 'cause it'll flash RED to indicate something BAD is happening but the bad thing that is happening is that they're getting like +1% upkeep cost to a unit with 70 upkeep. You really don't need to worry about it as much as it seems to imply you do. That said, it isn't really particularly interesting and doesn't really do anything meaningful to the game so it might as well be axed.>9. The green knight implementation is awkward and seriosuly outdated (and he's not that good)It really ought to work as an Army Ability, the idea of the green knight is being this mysterious figure that appears from the mist when you need him most (which he can just Do 'cause he's like a ghost). That doesn't feel right when you have to go through a bunch of hassle to have him walk multiple turns to go into the army you want him in and then shuffle a unit out to make room and then shuffle the unit back in when he dissappears leaving a big green-knight shaped hole in your army.
>>583735396Generals get their griffon mounts
Guys, did you know that Neferata and Arkhan were a couple?I didn't.
>>583735193>Why can't they make the whole game to feel like early game? I get the impression that this is sort of the direction they're going with total war 40k, that instead of one really really big long campaign you'll do lots of little mini campaigns.
Does mannfred get bonuses from the von carstein bloodline stuff when you recruit him as Neferata? Asking just in case, you never know with this game.
>>583738915qt.Yours?
>>583739176I agree that the early game is the most fun by far, but you also want that progression, as a goal if nothing else. I wonder how the mini campaigns will work, maybe they will make it work with some overarching progression and some sort of reset over and over
>>582587753In what is likely to be the last major naval battle of the Boshin War, the Sendai attack the port of Tosa in a daring raid. They hoped to finally sever the Tosa Samurai Republic, led by Saigō Takamori, from their foreign support. However, to the great misfortune of the Sendai, naval endeavors is the one area in which the Samurai Republic acknowledges the necessity for gunpowder.
>>583739176Scale is not the problem, and what they do with 40k isn't a solution.In Attila, both Rome campaigns were awesome to play, and you already start big there. In Warhammer, managing the big empire is just a chore, as nothing presents threat to you and as another anon pointed out, everything is so gigabuffed you don't have to pay attention to stuff anymore.Which leads to you mindlessly clicking buildings/armies, which leads to boredom. Short answer - the progression itself is shit, not the scale.Better city/building management system would help a lot with this, but we're long past that.
>>583739764Nah, haven't doodled on paper in years and I am quite shit at drawing.Found the image in 1d6chan, and thought it was sweet.
>>583739882Sounds like XCOM. Or Menace.Though both those games have turn-based combat, the campaign progression system in 40k sounds very similar to what those games have.
>>583738915"Couple" is a strong word there. At most they got brief flashes of what could have been.
Yeah okay guys do your best
>>583737737AFAIK Classic needs its own separate update before it'll be usable because it needs some scripting changes.
>>583738915wtf she got blacked?
I thought Nagash would be dropkicking the Southlands in most runs, but he seems to get dumpstered by his neighbors most of the time.
>>583739737ALSO it seems that if you get Mannfred through confed as Neferata he doesn't come with his legendary items, nor do the quests to get them trigger (he showed up already at level 30).I'm going to assume it's the same for all of them. What's the point of having Vlad without being able to ever get his ring and so on?
somehow actually triggered a minor settlement (defended) battle instead of autoresolving and alt f4'd in revulsion
>>583740157Side note, the plague flies are disgustingly good at killing dudes by knocking them off the walls. Anything without charge defense lost the majority of it's models instantly. Made them dudes hit far above their weight.
>>583740607i mean his faction is ass and he himself is not that favored in AR despite winning every single battle manualbit of a joke to face compared to chaos too
>>583739921>Better city/building management system would help a lot with this, but we're long past that.One day Creative Assembly will be bought out by a better company who cares about doing 4x features to their campaign.
>>583740643It's a known bug. If the faction is wiped, the game deletes all of their items.Normally this is fine, since a revived faction revives at level 1, but the confederation mechanic bypasses this so you don't get the deleted items.Next patch is supposed to fix it.
>>583740808He, and Archaon for that matter, shouldn't even be in the game until their respective crisis hits. Unless the player controls either faction, ofc.
The bretonnian rework in 10.0 is going to be so kino
Musou mode WHEN
>>583739737Yes.Neferata benefits from Lahmia buffs.Vlad, Isabella, and Mannfred benefit from von Carstein buffs.Red Duke benefits from Blood Dragon buffs.
>>583740930Far more likely is that one day someone else will make a Total War-like which will surpass CA's series. CA themselves are shit now, it's not just SEGA's fault.And, one day, we will also get a mod that'll fix all the bullshit in TWWH.We even already have one, but it's for game 2 only, unfortunately.
>>583741248>We even already have one, but it's for game 2 only, unfortunately.What mod is that?
FREE COMPANY
>>583727926Because Beastmen are the protagonists of Warhammer 3 and all DLC must cater to them until CA gets to blow their load with Moonclaw.
>>583741068I wonder if there's a mod to fix it in the meantime.
>>583741152With all the heroslop Warhammer is already a musou.
>>583739176don't know if they've shown off any more about the campaign for 40k but I played the demo at gamescom and the changes seem like they've solved so many of the stupid issues that arise from fantasy's map systemeverything's much smaller scope and the cheese potential is so much lower
>>583741329Total Rebirth.Reworks both campaign and battle sides.On the campaign you have medieval 2 style province and building systems.In the battles, you have guns work like guns, requiring straight LoS. Same goes for crossbows. Some generals have bodyguard units attached to them, magic is not as spammable (but still strong), cavalry fucks, etc.Battles are often (but not always) over much quicker since you don't have unkillable lords and heroes slogging everything down. Units rout only once - if the unit broke, it broke, it won't be coming back at you 10 times with 5 dudes remaining.Feels... a lot different, but if you're familiar with how Shogun 2 plays, you'll adjust quickly. But the only fully completed faction is Empire now. I think the dev is working on dorfs next.Balance/unit overhauls are done for every faction though, so it's playable already.
>>583742025How do undead factions handle with those changes?
>>583735363any recommendation?
>>583735396they are decent duelists and they buff your infantry or cav
Managed to save Katain at the last moment. She was at 0 settlements after Archaon took Praag. Lets see if I can revive her.
>>583742025Honestly I'd be fine with they can come back once but I swear nowadays fuckers have 3 or more rout-returns.>>583735193This has been an issue in total war for some time. It's why I favor the idea of hotseating campaigns or restarting mid-campaign within that campaign, as it is the cheapest and easiest option. Depending on the game:1) You just have a 4th wall switch. Let you jump into any faction with a cooldown mechanic for it like 50 turns before you can do it again. 2) A canonical switch rooted in lore/in mechanics. Call it centrifugalism or secession. If I could bend CA's ear to make them do it in Medieval 3 the options would be:>Civil war - you pick which side you want to align with, which dictates which provinces/armies/lords you get. Not a true 'restart the campaign'.>Secessionism - you pick a lord who chooses to secede, secession being limited to a certain mechanic/feature. IE lord faggus family has dynastic claims to Occitan, you are playing as France and can choose to switch to Lord Faggus. Alternatively, during a civil war you can pick the top 3-5 claimants for the throne who might be secessionist. So in the HRE during a crisis of emperor election you could choose to become Bohemia, Saxony, Austria, ect.>4th wall switch as noted before - start playing as the Mamluks then switch to Kievan Rus for no reason after 50 turns pass.This lets you build up an empire and then try switching to tear it down, or build up an empire then switch to a small state far away to experience the early game all over again.
Horus...?What is Horus doing on /twg/??HORUS WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE???HORUUUUUUUUUUUS
The first warning for Chaos Endgame threat is 20 turns before it actually spawns, right? The one that says Archaon disappeared.
>>583742217Very strong, maybe even too strong for now.They spook your guys, and now you only need to get spooked once to rout, as I said. Morale is key, so a general who can spam "stand your ground" is almost a requirement.On the other hand, Vcount generals don't have bodyguards attached to them (like necromaners), and vcount units are very dependant on generals, so it's their weak spot.They're also very weak to spearwalls, and generally solid formations.Oh yeah, now all units have formations. Be it a simple loose formation, all special formation, like spear/pike/shieldwalls, etc.
as astragoth, am I supposed to go south or north? is grimgor going to be a problem?
>>583743291Grimgor is your #1 enemy
>>583743291Grimgor hates Chorfs.
>>583743291All 3 Chorfs must prioritize Grimgor. Though I haven't played Chorf since the catlady was released, but in my Neffy game she just whopped Grimgors ass like it was nothing and I never even got to see the dude.
>>583740185Indeed she was. She likely used Arkhan's postiche beard for a few things...
loli
>>583741152is the dread abyssal mount any good
>>583731374Yeah
>>583740136It is a strong word, but I think it apt at least.
CA should add the heiroscorpion for the TK rework.
>>583744527>Guy dedicated to serving Nagash>Girl dedicated to subverting everything Nagash stood forHm.
>>583741216>Vlad, Isabella, and Mannfred benefit from von Carstein buffs.And yet Vlad is the only one of the three who has any lord effect or skill that targets the signature units. Which feels like a waste when Neferata does so much for the Lahmian Handmaidens.
>>583744193In Arkhan's case yes, it's better than the chariot.
>>583745060Vlad was the only one known for having human troops providing ranged firepower to support his assault on the Empire.
>>583745464No he's not.
>>583736076Old World is also simply better designed because it's more natural in a way. Immortal Empires was optimized too hard around people playing it so now you have everything close to each other and can move from settlement to settlement in 1 turn, essentially only hoping between sieges. Which is why people complained there are no normal battles in game and they had to remove city battles from settlements without walls as a workaround.In the old world you sometimes even have to walk for 3 or 4 turns before you reach another settlement. It requires more commitment and long term planning for your strategy and you can't even save scum mistakes so easily unless you want to repeat 4 turns or so.Enemy factions can snowball harder too. As Karl you wont be able to snipe Vlad and Festus quickly. By the time you deal with Festus, Vlad will have like 30 settlement sized Empire to face you, with multiple armies. It's actual war then and there are other enemy factions around everywhere too. In IE you can quickly neutralize factions by defeating their single stack and then chain sieging their cities not letting them recover. Not here.I had like 150 turn Kislev campaign in TOW and it was best fun I had in tww3
What is this face expression trying to convey
>>583745464Hell no. Every damn vampire from Sylvania does. It's not some brilliant unthinkable tactic only a genius like Vlad could do, they don't even think about it, they just throw a bunch of cheap weapons at the peasants and tell them to fight or die.
>>583746237>'I could be 'avin a pint right now, but instead, I'm about to get eaten by fookin' bats.'
>>583746237Which of the two.
>>583746130>Enemy factions can snowball harder too. As Karl you wont be able to snipe Vlad and Festus quickly.

Not here.>I had like 150 turn Kislev campaign in TOW and it was best fun I had in tww3When I did a Vlad campaign in TOW I was surprised.First I had to remove the orks who invaded Sylvania.Then I had to beat the rebellious vampires in other parts of Sylvania into submission so that I could have a united state.Then I had to deal with the Ogres who were running the moot, and tomb kings who were just there for some reason.I was able to make friends with Drycha to keep my northern border secure (she already fucked up most of the empire there, but as I was starting my assault on the empire, the Skaven based out of Mordheim, who now had several settlements between Mordheim and northern Sylvania, declared on me.By the time I finally reached Altdorf, I had fought five different races, each of them in proper wars, and was looking like I might be fighting Nurgle next.That shit is great fun.
Does anyone know which mod is preventing completing Arkhan's quest battles from actually giving his items? I'm assuming it's that fucker Mixu again listing his status as "updated" when it nukes game stability every update
Close to Lahmia...
>>583745323how about the others?
>>583746840Your story quest automatically gives you lahmia fully upgraded.It's a shame that literally everyone already has captured lahmia by the time they unlock it.
>>583721819Ermm... anon... you aren't supposed to use so many skellymen archers
>>583746840NEVER CLOSE ENOUGH
>>583746794I'm using Mixu's and didn't have that problem with other characters.Presumably if you run a mod that alters Arkhan or Nagash mechanics it could have an impact?
>>583746886They have better options>>583741152Spartan Total Warrior 2 will be a musuo for sure
>>583746921>oh cool I can just teleport to my covens, I'll just set one up in Lahmia
>>583746886Less health and mass than a dragon, and no breath ability to soften up targets, but they're about as fast in flight and make for a smaller target. They also have minor self-heal capacity that drains nearby enemy entities, so you get good mileage out of them against chaff infantry. With Mannfred that also works well with his ability to generate WoM in melee. Basically, a net upgrade.
How do I beat Boris as Archaon? I fucking hate fighting Kislev so much
>Pyramid of Nagash buffs to Skeleton Archers>explosive arrows>Somehow become the most busted unit on the roster wtf, tomb kings need that as tech, they feel so good to use as Nagash.
>>583747047No idea then. I know Mixu currently prevents Toddy's final battle from triggering, so I assumed that it was the culprit. Maybe it's a script error from recruit defeated LLs or auto resolve quest battles. You also can't console in items as Niggash because unique item spawns don't work cross culture FML
>>583735396They should be the melee beatstick for the Empire but they're not.
>>583747542It generally is kind of a mismatch early on they shit on you, early kislev >>>>> early woc. Just outnumber them at time of fighting
>>583747578Shitters on youtube were putting skelly archers and spirit hosts in F tier for Nagash which is hilarious since his pyramid makes them completely busted. I slept on those T1 buffs my first run, but I just recently found out how insane Nagash makes all his trash roster and able to solo anything
>>583735396Captains have armywide buffs for either infantry or cavalry, and if you go for infantry you can give them Hold the line so you put them on foot on your frontline and they buff them pretty damn well. Add a warrior priest too and the Empire frontline isn't even half-bad.
>>583747859>Shitters on youtubei miss legend's guides and tierlists, he never let me down on thosehis old schizo alberic start guide has a special place in my heart
>>583747578Khalida gives poison attacks. Khatep gives magical attacks. Let Nagash give explosive attacks.
When do we find out what the next dlc is?
>>583746998She's going home...
How does a chaos sorcerer lord on a dragon compare to a daemon prince? Going from a big flying spellcasting armour piercing monster to a... big flying spellcasting armour piercing monster?
Those kislev city states or whatever they're called should really get 10 slots.
>>583748106pretty sure skele archers have magic attacks by default...
>>583748071Yeah I never disagreed too much with his tier lists because they were from the sperg perspective of min/maxxing the game. Current jewtubers have zero clue about the contexts of units or how they can be buffed in various ways to excel in the lagegame. They're basically playing SP with an MPfag mindset
>>583746252>massively emphasize a doctrine of hastily raising skelemannii and zombiemannii crapstacks to throw at the enemy in successive pitched battles until they're worn down>get remembered as a proponent of combined arms who valued quality over quantity in the strongest termsSylvanian propaganda is out of control.
>>583747542>>583747682Or just rush the shit outta Tower of Torment and attack it and force vassalize him that way
>>583748884To be fair his first descriptions used a book of nagash and TK skull catapults. His last descriptions involved him summoning so many zombies he could walk up their corpses to climb walls.Lore is a bit funny that way.
>>583748535Don't they get 10 if you play Kislev?
>>583747859I really don’t understand people shitting on spirit hosts on either roster, I’ve gotten a ton of early game value and they’re an amazing tar pit if your enemy has no magical attacks, and early and cheap armor piercing is again crazy for early game undead factions. For counts I don’t see a lot of meaningful buffs taking them past the mid game (the unit caps and if you’re high on blood and low on corpses you’ll still find some of them in most armies), but for Nagash I used them for an amazingly long time for a unit that is supposed to be trash.
Man I love the meatshield upgrade zombies so fucking much. They just take beatings all day long and just won't fucking die.
>>583748884It's funny too because I feel the propaganda side actually completely misses what is cool about vampires and what makes them terrifying, which is the unending pitched battles and wars of attrition you quite literally cannot win because soldiers dying is literally good for them, while the vampires are rare leaders that will pop out of the endless mass of chaff to suddenly kill your own officers with scary efficiency.While pretending Vlad was some combined arms strategist just kinda makes him the same as the Empire generals he faces. It's not impressive like, say, Gorbad or Khazrak being famous for that either, since in their case half the reason it's impressive is that they do it with normally completely uncontrollable hordes of retards that barely understand orders. Vlad just does it with completely obedient troops who never rout.
>>583749486VCounts actually have the best upgrade for them.One of the Blood Rite researches gets you an ancillary that disables enemy magical attacks.
roughly 10 years from now we'll be talking about how Total War: World War II will be the final make or break for this franchise, it'll be fascinating, but I'll be pushing 40
>>583749323Oh, maybe they do. I was just conquering them as the Empire to spoonfeed back to Katarin and assumed Kislev just sucks. Haven't played them in a while.
HELLO CA I AM ONCE AGAIN ASKING FOR SKILL TREES FOR BRETONNIAN LORD AND HERO UNITS
>>583749642Holy shit really? What tree is that in? I’m playing Kremmler and must have missed it.
>>583749815Blue line first always
>>583749817In the vampire tree, the top five blood rites, one of them is like "Gain these 5 ancillaries, and now they can randomly drop off of battles"If you hold your mouse over it long enough it locks in place so you can mouse over the individual ancillaries
>>583749526Is it better than the vanguard deployment one?
>>583750114When it comes to the zombie upgrade it comes down to what you want to use your zombies for.If you want to use them to murder the shit out of enemy infantry, then the vanguard + armor piercing damage + faster move speed is great.If you want them to tank through literally everything except magic spam, then you get the huge defense + healing cap upgrade.The middle upgrade is the only shit upgrade that has no reason to exist.
>>583749642It's for character attack which is lameReminder there are already 35m and 55m magical attack disabling auras in the game and some of them quite old
Wurrzag would be unplayable in IE if not for the scrap dampening upgrade
>>583750352How reliable are they to get on vampires?
>>583750114Wouldnt know never used the vanguard one. But the meatshield one just makes them so good at the job they are supposed to be doing that I don't think either of the other ones is worth it (unless you're going for Ghorst shitstacks). Unless an enemy has a lot of units with magic attack a single corpse cart with unholy lodestone in a blob of zombies eill hold for days against any kind of melee assault while your lord and heroes and later SEMs and blood knights kill all the high value targets.
>>583750493Very.Borrow a Jet Lion (T3 unit) from your Cathayan friend.
>>583750870I think I'd rather make my spirit ghosts able to dampen the people engaging them in melee
Well /twg/?
>>583750962always metal
>>583750962i don't know what 70% of the magic lores do in this game I cba to learn, always go death
>>583750962Life
>>583720923You have it backwards. Knight's Errant suck. Royal Hippogryphs are the glorious airforce. Tier 3 gives Knights of the realm who are AL and the best T3 cav in the game. Combined with QKs, you should be able to win against most high tier AI armies. Some shitters just don't know how to use shock cav. Grail Knights are kind of lacklustre but Grail Guardians are great.
>>583750962Slann pig
>>583749924Ah okay that’s why then, my vampire lair is bugged so I haven’t awakened a vampire yet which means I haven’t been able to tech into the tree at all. It seems like either mixu’s, recruit dead lords, or unique ui is clashing against the lair ui.
>>583750962>Going from KINO Lore of Magic to gay ass psyker magicGAY
>>583751128Forgot pic
>>583751128>Grail Knights are kind of lacklustre but Grail Guardians are great.Thank fuck someone says this, I was starting to wonder if I'm a retard for not finding Grail Knights as useful as my Knights of the Realm, but finding Grail Guardians amazing to replace my Questing Knights with.Hippo Knights eventually replace my KotR though.
>>583750314What’s the elite ball knowledge tech for Ghorst to make him the zombie king he used to be.
reminder that worship of the lady is a noble's affair in bretonnia. the common-folk are not expected to, and often do not, worship the lady as a patron goddess, and instead give worship to local saints and the many cults of the old world
>>583751256I'll show you kino you PIECE OF
>>583751207I've read people saying unique UI is clashing with a lot of stuff right now, but I haven't tested
>>583751403peasants hate ladies!!
>>583751460it's less that and more "why would i want to teach the smelly serfs how to speak THE NOBLEMAN'S prayer?"
>>583751409didn't tthe ynnari dab on this nigga
>>583751403The Grail Knights acting like living saints to the peasantry is an interesting concept that never got fleshed out properly.
Is anyone else autistic about not confeding cannonical faction leaders? It makes no sense for another DE LL to confederate Malekith, or Repanse or Alberic to confederate Louen, or and imperial LL to confed Karl. Sometimes you can make a believable story most of the time, it makes no sense.
>love mount and blade, played the fuck out of its warband warhammer mod>decide to pick up 1,2,3 on sale>intending to just jump into the sandbox mode just like mountain blade>the prologue is actually insanely fucking kino and got me excited to play campaign mode insteadLads this was so cool, does the other campaign also have cutscenes and character progression at all?Also does game one or two have the same thing, because I can go back and play those if they do. I want more "story mode", but I'm not sure if the game even offers that...
>>583751676It's complicated.
absolute cancer
>>583751729
>>583750962I always pick life and then never recruit them cause slann are ugly fat frogs.
>>583751770Game 1 has the closest to a story mode for Empire and Dwarfs, and with the DLCs it even has some mini-stories for beastmen/woodelves.3's Prologue is the best 'story mode' of the series though, and the first time they ever put that kind of effort in.Game 2's Vortex map if you're NOT playing a core faction has decent story modes, Game 3 has the same with the Realm of Chaos map if you're NOT playing a core faction as well.
>>583751729to a defenseless, destitute people deprived of agency, they're the perfect image of a ruler. they are endlessly selfless, honest, tirelessly hardworking, wholly dedicated to the protection of all those whom evil would predate upon, perform miracles with a touch, and seemingly invincible. what person in their shoes WOULDN'T fall into hero-worship of them?
>>583752010See too much of yourself in their physical appearance?
>>583752141I kind of wish Bretonnian Knights in TWW had the Dauntless ability they have in Blood BowlThe short version is, when fighting a foe stronger than the knight, as long as the Bretonnian Knight makes the charge (or is the one to force the dice roll in blood bowl) he gets to count his strength as equal to his foe assuming he makes a dice roll.Would be kind of sweet to make them absolute murderers on the battlefield if they could just copy enemy weapon strength if the enemy is buffed higher than them.
>>583751729>>583751956>You will never ever have a cute tomboy infatuate over you and pretend to be a man in order to keep close to you, while secretly stealing your shit as mementoes.Why live?
>>583750962i feel like i get access to slann too quickly because by the time i need extra actual armies as lizardmen i have a surplus of slann and i never get to play around with red-crested skink chiefs, saurus oldbloods, or ancient kroxigors.
3K is still the best in the series and you're gay if you disagree
>>583752603If 3K is the best imagine what 40K will be
>>583752368I like the idea of that - it'd make them do or die, you need to charge them against a threatening enemy and hope that they survive. I'd make it so they can't just cycle charge else it defeats the purpose. More like>You get a match to their weapon strength on your charge>That unit is unable to charge until the enemy they charged is either routing, broken, or dead.>If that unit is told to attack another unit, to retreat, given any command other than "Kill that nigga" they suffer a major debuff.
>>583752141Its an interesting concept, underutilized.In fact, all the peasants are kind of underbaked, save for the implication there is a rising Merchant class the Knights have decided to deal with by aggressively ignoring them.
>>583752313No, I have gained lots of weight but still below 70kg.And I'm haawwwt>>583752603I'm gay and disagree.
>>583712641Apologies saar. But what is problem? Seeing no problems their, saar.
warhammer needs more sexyness not less. thank fuck they added neferata, I was starting to lose hope.
Why the fuck is Yuan Bo all the way over in Lustria anyway
>>583752940kys worthless gooner cattle
is there a campaign where I actually get to play with the higher tier units
>>583752940I hate how daemonettes look like androgynous uggos.Shouldn't they be turbo-bimbos with huge titties and full lips? God of excess and all.
>>583753086>no argumentyou are less than cattle, a speck of excrement below my polished shoe
>>583753068Stealing the lizards shit for his lizard daddy's compassDirty lizard fucker
>>583753248god will kill all gooners like you
>>583753309god hates homos like you so you will be first
>>583752396I always like to think of Grail Knights as a little naive.Like I'm imagining in some battle Johann gets grievously injured and has to be put in a hospital bed.Upon waking up, realizing 'he' has been stripped of his clothes as part of being bandaged up and all, waking to see Sir Paris there, at the bedside.Johann in a panic over the fact Sir Paris knows the truth.And Sir Paris not letting Johann get a word in, thanks Johann for his good service, and regrets to inform 'him' that Sir Paris defended Johann's honor despite the fact the Surgeon tried to suggest the good Pilgrim were a liar, but unfortunately even with the Surgeon corrected on the matter, nothing could be done to save Johann's dick and balls, almost as if they were never there to begin with.Sir Paris of course respecting if Johann wishes to retire after this, and being very proud of the brave pilgrim for continuing the fight despite 'his' terrible loss.
>>583752940god i wish that were me
>>583735398I also think it's nice. It's especially nice on heroes, so I can slot in all the shit I care about before I let the AI fill in the rest.
>>583753218Slaaneshies are supposed to look like cenobites, not like bimbos.
>>583753692I don't know much, but aren't they're supposed to look hot so men are reluctant to fight them.
>>583753218In the roleplaying game there was an adventure involving a daemonette sealed in a ritual chamber.The GM was to use secret messages for the players for this encounter, because half of them saw everything around the Daemonette as horrifyingly disgusting, disturbing, and generally hellraiser-esque with a horrifying monster in the middle. The other half of the group was seeing a paradise, an oasis in the desert, with the most beautiful woman of all chained in the middle.The longer the group stayed and the more they fought about what to do here, the stronger the daemonette's aura would get, but I don't remember the consequences of that.
>>583753369nah god decreed that all gooners will languish in the lake of fire for all time, and that would mean you.
>>583753271never ask a Cathayan part of Yuan Bo's expedition the race of his wife
>>583752940Morathi needs bigger tits.
>>583753876Older lore says yes, newer lore says... ehhh, let's not talk about that.Here have a bimbofication potion to help get over the fact that you're learning that Slaanesh lore is inconsistent as fuck because GW hates the idea of sex existing at all.
>>583751729I'd like to get a generic hero based upon the guy on the right in the funny mask.They could have a 'mount' made up of the other guys in the pic carrying around all the weird knick-knacks they've picked up from fallen knights and defeated enemies.
>>583753876Looking hot is for the cults and before fighting. On the battlefield, they're supposed to look so scary men don't want to fight them. Which is why the lore of Slaanesh is about morale bombing.
>>583753068Earth is round and he needed to tune the wuxing compass or some shit
Is Attila worth getting for 1212 or does it feel incomplete?
>>583754157they are called Reliquary Squires and they'd be squires with frenzy and magical attacks.
>>583754181That's lame as fuck.There's already plenty of scary shit in the setting already, out of everyone, Slaanesh should've been the one to try different approach.I get that it's a kiddie game and all, but I hate that blood and gore are okay in the west, but anything sexy (especially if it's straight stuff) is prohibited.
>>583754460Always a pleasure to post Daves old Bretonnia concepts that never got a model.
>>583754557Yeah, well, blame both puritans and also capitalistic heads that just go for the (seeming) path of least resistance every time.
>>583754407All TW games besides WH3(after 10 years of content) feel uncomplete and undercooked, t b q h
>>583754407As far as I know, the game is still full of vanilla Rome 2 voice lines, even in 1212 mod.And if I hear "OUR HORSES WANT BLUD" one more time I'm gonna kill myself, so not touching this shit until they replace all the voice lines.
>>583754557It's a retcon that came later to justify why new daemonette models are ugly while the old ones are pink women with their tits out and sometimes a crab claw.Most people, from what I've seen, much prefer the Slaanesh is hauntingly beautiful angle, instead of the "lol, lmao, everything has 0 sex appeal"
>>583754407it's a pretty sweet deal for 8 bucks or whatever your regional price is, just remember that the performance is horrible after all these years, if i were you i'd get Rome 2 and slap 1100 AD on it
>>583754557They were like that in the old lore.You can always ignore new (cringe) lore and pretend it never happened. Download some juicy daemonette reskins on top, and you're all set.That's what I doooo.
>>583754407I owned it but recently downloaded and installed 1212 all excited and then got a sub mod that doubled units sizes because I have a 13900k i9 intel CPU and 4080. The game shit itself with half the troops on screen defending Constantinople than I do right now defending Pfieldorf. I have everything x3 so my crossbowman for example are 270 strong. I sieged Skavenblight in my last campaign with 5000 troops and killed 26000 rats. Atilla runs worse with only 2000 troops on screen.Mod is amazing, Atilla needs to be rebuilt from scratch by someone(s) who can actually code. The whole thing pissed me off.t.2500 hours in Rome 2, 1200 in Atilla.
Are there good recommendations to make the other Beastmen lords more unique? I want Morgur to feel more “mutanty” it would be neat if there was a kind of unit mutation mechanic not unlike Throtts but maybe more random, just being around him corrupts the shit out of everyone and he doesn’t really control that. And maybe like mutated reskin of their units where they look even more fucked up.
>>583755106I don't think there is.If there's still no plague cooking mechanic for Skrolk, don't hope for anything beastmen-related.This is a one-playthrough race. You play one Taurox campaign, find out how broken he is, and never touch the faction again.
>>583755106Sounds like a cool mod idea.
awwh he's smiling :)
>>583754885Have you considered taking your meds before playing vidya to combat your brainrot desire to pump up model counts for absolutely no reason other than calming your mental illness?
>>583753506>You should lose weight Johann... the barmaids at the village were giggling about your manboobs.
>>583755571I don't have any medications. I maintain good health and exercise.Imagine being marked cattle for the big pharma jew.
is Taoyan worth the hassle
>>583755747If you're playing Meow or the Crackhead yes, because she gets executioner
>>583752016>first time they ever put that kind of effort inDang. Would you say it's even worth trying out 1 or 2 for a story mode experience then?>if you're NOT playing a core factionWhat does this entail and why would they have worse campaigns than cores? Or do you just mean DLCs and they have their own thing going?
>>583755747Wtf is a taoyan?

So are Seneschals fucking shit or are they not front line commanders?I have watched on 4 separate occasions, them losing 1v1 to enemy hero's let alone enemy commanders.Even with strong gear and levelled up.
>>583758368The setting is the catch. Dogshit.
>>583758447Seriously on the verge of replacing the two I have and then ignoring them forever.
>>583758368you've already mentioned the catch.range oriented armies is gonna make the gameplay a fucking snooze. units have no ammo mechanic and they can shoot in a 360 angle while also moving. this shit will potentially have one of the worst gameplay experiences out of any total war game we've had so far.the gameplay already looked pretty grim from the showcases they revealed so far.
I think I'm feeling pretty done with my Neferata campaign. I own all the wastes, completely exterminated the turk dwarfs. I recaptured Lahmia and its province. Neferata is safely at home enjoying her city. Most of the vampire counts bend the knee to me and I don't really see a reason to try to get a vassal so I can get Vlad since the legendary items are bugged anyway.Also Archeon just decided it's time to end the world and is going on some crusade which is making a mess of all my goddamn covens because he keeps razing settlements all over the wold. Maybe I'll try to kill Archeon and then call it, or maybe I'll just call it here. Don't know.
>>583758895Don't tell me you aren't a fan of Pile of Violence(now shooting).The gameplay was great! We got to see orks in piss yellow on a vomit green and shit brown map, forming enormous blobs that snaked around tight corners.What's not to love?
>>583758368No transport units mean the only gameplay will be watching infantry get slaughtered by ranged fire and half the factions straight up won't functionSpace Marines and Orks are going to be ass to play without transports, Dark Eldar are never coming at all unless transports are added in
>>583758895I still remember like 100 space marines holding off like 2000 orks it's unironically over for any non space muhreen faction
>>583757439Me (Katarin)
so nagash gets access to all undead legendary lords and every undead unit in the game?
>>583756131Unique campaign in TWW2 called "Vortex" has story mode for base LLs like Malekith and Tyrion and Mors etc. Those have cutscenes and characters talk so that's cool, but basically just enemies spawn out of thin air randomly to attack your cities and it annoyed people. People call it Vortex raceLater additions like Vampire Coast or Eltharion do not take part in Vortex race, but still have their own cool narratives. And people love them.We will see, because there is a chance Vortex will be ported to TWW3 according to newest leaksRealms of Chaos campaigns for base races in TWW3 are similar to Vortex Race, but even more annoying so people hate them even more. And unlike Vortex, Realms of Chaos campaign map layout and design sucks.But Chorfs and Champions of Chaos LLs apparently have cool campaigns. Never tried personallyRealms of Chaos is also dead and doesn't get new additions
m2ex looks so good, I really hope the popular lotr mods and europa barbarorum 2 develop patches based on it
>>583760454No
skryre weapons should have more more warpstone and have a chance to blow up and take out melee units next to them
ive started taking archaons territory as elspeththis feels like a bad idea
>>583760493Speaking of RoC, I really liked playing it, i feel like the initial hatred was blown out of proportion, yeah it was initially overtuned in very annoying manners like having shit spawn next to your cities all the time but i thought the idea of roc portals and doing the challenges for cool items and rewards really nice. hope they add it as a toggle for IE in the future some of the items can still only be gotten in roc.
>>583760645Good thing you aren't allowed to design vidya.To make a fun game you have to give the player control, not take it from him. Making his entire army blow up, making him lose, at random is not fun. You should be deeply ashamed about your post for the rest of your life.
Total War: Dark Souls
im gonna try miao ying because shes cute and i need to learn how to play the game better
>>583760493Thank you for the rundown anon, that's actually really informative. I think I'll give them a shot after all!
>>583761698Total War Elden Ring would legitimately go hard
>>583761569
>>583761569Skaven need more rng elements to be balanced properly.
So is TW3 just the default TW game a newfag should start with since it has so much content?
>>583761964Not if you like history more?
>>583761569skaven should expect that, random casualties are the backbone of skaven society you stupid man thing
>>583761910Oh lawdy
>>583762086I do but I don't mind a fantasy setting if it compensates with creativity
>>583761964TW3 is more or less the most fleshed out total war game out there by a massive margin, a lot of older TW games had their development abruptly halted and were left with a lot of problems but they do have historical flavor to them and they are by no means bad games.So if you don't mind fantasy elements and care purely about the gameplay then yes tw3 is by far the best choice, other games are great too and have different historical flavors.
>>583762134>>583761910MIssion Issue: Assist... Zanzibart...
>>583761917Thanks for taking up an image slot I guess?>>583761920>rng>balanceNow that's good bait. Nearly had me.>>583762121No, I decide who lives and dies.
>>583762625One joke
How far is too far? Would you mod it so you autocast all your abilities ?
Something about the current patch turns alarielle into a warmongering expansionist menace
>>583762625Zanzibart status: Forgiven
>>583762678other jokes are in the item descriptions and i aint reading that shit
them remastering shogun 2 was really cool, it's the best tw game ever made, the only thing it misses is having a strong modding scene, sadly they never left medieval 2, would love to see the old big projects moved to shogun's 2 faster and newer engine and remastered graphics but probably never gonna happenmaybe we should get those big medieval 2 mods and vibecode them into shogun 2before some kid asks why shogun 2, it was the last game before the series rework, when recruitment became tied to generals, in shogun 2 the cities build units as they should, that's why it's the best tw game ever made without mods
is avelorn... /fun/?
Are Dieter and Walach related?
is /twg/ dead?
>>583764418i'm 29 turns into thanquol and i have 4 settlements
>>583764418we're on /bant/...
>>583763664People who use a specific kind of magic tend to take on a certain look. See the empire wizards for reference, or the various kinds of dragon. The look for necromancy happens to be predatory and bat like.
time to make baktria great again
>>583764802Are you trying to get people to click on my threads?If so, that's kinda funny.
Hold the phone..>>583764617Mein Neger, what are you doing? Fkn move your furry ass and take some shit.
>>583767467Thanquol is great at taking shit with his furry ass
is the vampire coast really as bad as people say it is?
>>583767467i'm sneakin'-stabbin'
>>583764418It's Asia hours right now and /twg/ is majority EU.
>>583767530You just reminded me of shit dildoing.. ugh.. I hate.Please don't the Skaven.>>583767613No you are sitting in a karak smoking warpstone. You should have like 10 settlements by now. Maybe more.
>>583767691i took a major settlement from thorgrim and traded it to the iron orks who are strenght rank 1 and now they're my ally. classic scheme-plan
>>583767691I was just talking about him being a ratwhore...
>>583767691>shit dildoing.???
>>583767821Ugh.. that's a fucked up move cause the other rats will hate you. You created a love triangle.That's not gonna go well.>>583767883Too late, it's in my head.>>583768067It's when you have a log in the ol doodoo oven and push it part way out and then suck it back continuously under your pants. There is a story of a guy who did that at a xmas party and accidentally dropped it out all the way.
>>583768303What the fuck do you guys read and where
>>583758895You're being a bit grave with your take anon. That said I remember what one reviewer said where it felt like a good RTS but did not feel like a total war. it may be more of that feeling for the non space marines, who do not rout but instead apparently enter some kind of battle shock with severely reduced performance (So pretty much undead but instead of crumbling just getting their melee defense dropped to 5).My guess is guardsmen will feel conventional, orcs will kind of, eldar will be wood elves in space, and space marines are wood elf elite ranged on chaos chosen.
>>5837683031 to 1 does not compute you need 4
>>583764418I am taking a massive shit rn. I can always provide updates if that helps bump the thread.
>>583768404I'm just a humble 4chan anon, I don't go anywhere else.Tee-hee~>>5837684944?Four Skarbrands?I could totally edit my mod to summon 4 Skarbrands.Man that sounds sick.. anon u a genius.
I never want to hear the Empire has bad cav ever again. These 3 units hard carried my army against 4 stacks of Archaon's invasion.
>>583768693>Newfag cavDoesnt count
>>583761569is lumi /twg/ approved
>Has a bit of everything>But everything sucks unless it's high tier artillery>Get legendary lord + legendary hero>Get bodied by 1 nurgle common
>>583769646Borisbros...
So what's a mod that let's Nurgle have gun units?
>>583769604More like /Troontubergeneral/.
>>583769774its called... I'MLERETARDED mod, its on nexus, anon! go download it!
>>583769604yes
As a systems designer modelling pure chaos like passfag would not be that easy nor that impossible
>>583762372Then play Kairos or Oxyotl
>>583770049Why would you lie to me anon...(Jokes aside, I'm still serious because i think it would spice up my next nurgle play, and I like guns)
Is there a mod to turn harry the hammerstorm into a LL?
>>583770909That shouldn't be hard to make, I think.. but I never made a skill tree so I unno..
>>583770508KEK i feel bad now anon im sorryi did it for a few laughs i love pretending to be retardedi apologize, good luck on your quest
i just purchased vampire coast because it was cheap as fuckwhat am I in for? which LL should i start as?
>>583771553probably noct, he has the best starting location which lets you do w/e you want.
>>583706568>Play Boris>Assume typical empire chaos will happen and make for a hard campaign>Take out Festus turn 3>The entire rest of the campaign is a cakewalkwtf I thought his campaign was supposed to be more challenging? The drakenwald is very annoying but all it means in practice is just having a reserve army on the homefront.
any guide somewhere or advice on how to get into TWW3?I heard all DLC can be used in it, so is there any point in buying the 1 and 2 base games?any must-have DLCs even for someone just getting into it?
>>583771829Have you got to the point where beastmeme armies spawn 20 turns away from your armies back in your already peaceful and conquered territory
