I think a major factor in that was the original decision to split Daemons up into monogod factions. It really spread their shit thin

I am actually pretty disgusted by the Helf favoritism, they already got multiple DLCs during their entry's lifespan but now they get to stand out as the only 2 faction to get yet another during 3, especially since they already seemed so complete they were already barrel-scraping for new units in the last one

They still have not fixed the pathing issues did they.
Last time I tried playing TW3 ranged units would sometimes just walk forward even with guard mode on. Trying to get units trough a gate is one of the most frustrating things I have ever done in a game. Issuing an attack order would have units walk out of the blob, reform, and then attack. And in sieges, oh god don't get me started on that, 1 single unit model of yours gets stuck on a corner, and the squad cripples half your army by entangling itself into the rest of your units.

I've tried him a few times in the Vortex campaign but I don't think I've ever made it past 20 turns. Sure, he's strong and all (and he almost always becomes strength rank 1 in the campaigns when played by the AI) but there's something about the location and setting that's just boring to me. You're just whacking irrelevant rats and norscans in the frozen shithole corner of the world.

Reminder that this is what their so-called "A-team" has been working on for the last three years since passing over WH3 support to CA Sofia. The same A-team that gave us;
>The siege rework, including every single minor settlement battle being a siege (they were later almost entirely removed from the game), respawning towers and
>Realms of Chaos campaign, including chaos rifts spawning armies in your territory, the gimmicky chaos realms that you had to do in every campaign (if you ignored them the AI would win the race and give you a game over, it was only later they grudgingly patched in a quest battle to knock out the AI if they beat you to the souls), and survival battles (they were so proud of these it was the very first thing they showcased and based much of the marketing around, also you couldn't autoresolve them at launch)
>A fully voiced tutorial with unique gameplay, units, and an entire tech tree - which lasts two hours and will be ignored after, and which they broke in patch 1.1 and still doesn't function properly to this day
>Crippled base game Chaos rosters for the sole reason that they could be fixed with CoC (at launch Nurgle's only mobility was Rot Flies, Slaanesh had no units with armour greater than 15, Khorne had no low tier infantry and Tzeentch had to use Blue Horrors as a frontline - this decision still ripples into the current game where Chaos garrisons are all dogshit with like three different units in them out of their now gigantic roster)
>Never figured out how to use version control so they built the game on an old WH2 codebase which caused tons of issues further down the line and caused the main game mode to be delayed six months post launch

I could keep going but I think I've made my point and I'm running out of reply characters. I think people have forgotten just how fucking awful WH3 was at launch and how much CA Sofia have done to turn the game around. TW40k will be an abomination on a similar scale, mark my words.

Good luck doing that with Valkia and Grombrindal swarming over your ass by turn 8. Oh nice, you beat them? And even better, you managed to do it before Valkia reached level 10 and started pulling RoRs out her ass and Grombrindal started groodging and spamming Trollhammer Gyrocopters? Nice job! Unfortunately that just gave you vision with Sigvald and he's coming for your ass next, you better deal with him too. Uh oh that just gave you vision with Norsca, and Daniel (he wiped out Malus before you could meet with him and confederate by the way), and now Wulfric is coming, and he got himself vassalised by Azazel so here comes this asshole stealing your Darksharts, and so on and so on. No, Malekith's campaign is a pile of shit nearly equal to Teclis'.
>>
>>721896335
>No, Malekith's campaign is a pile of shit nearly equal to Teclis'.
How's Teclis' campaign in TW2, specifically the Vortex? I heard his starting location is actual fucking ass but the lord is pretty strong (not right click and AFK mode like others but can still wreck armies on his own with some micro) once you level him up. I've been playing a lot of Markus Wulfhart and I've gotten an acquired taste for awful starts that you have to claw your way out of.

He shares a starting island with Ikit Claw in Vortex if I remember correctly, so between him and Skrolk you're going to be spending most of your campaign fighting ratniggers. He got a big powerup in WH3 with his new mount and he's getting another in the upcoming DLC, but in WH2 his campaign was very vanilla and really only notable for starting in the Lustriabowl, which I think was only a problem in Mortal Empires because Lustria was so tiny there.
>>
>>721888085
The game is fundamentally broken for melee focus factions except the ones who can bring heavy armour crazy damage units like khorne, everybody else has to deal with massive range powerhouses or being outnumbered 90% of time. That is why other melee factions like greenskins late game armies is literally just archanarok and black orks spams, because nothing else works, waaghs are literally just to soak damage so your big monster doomstacks kills everything. CA really needs to implement units caps on campaing for future games.

Tamurkhan was fun but just right clicking towards the enemy got old.
Skrott seems like he'd be fun, but I can't get over how annoying his start is. I just want to consolidate in the mountains but Kislev freaks out at you existing.

Cool factions in isolation, maybe. Some of them suffer from being flanderized versions of their Old World counterparts. (e.g The one of TWO dwarf factions just being an entire faction of Slayers)

Realm of Chaos is flawed as fuck but it actually tried to have real design. Immortal Empire has nothing going for it after the early game. The only total war game that had a feeling of progression was the first Warhammer, and they basically cheated by making Chaos just spawn with actually good armies rather than relying on the AI doing it for you.

Realm of Chaos as a map is honestly fine. I think the Empire actually feels better than the huge bloated region in Immortal Empires. Chaos wasteland also actually feels big. Main issue is soul collecting needs a huge overhaul. Two of the four realms need to be totally overhauled, mechanics need to be added for actually stopping other players from stealing souls, and there needs to be some kind of benefit to actually having a huge realm(Similar to vortex in Warhammer 2.) I would love to see them try and fix Vortex as well, since while not as flawed it has a lot of issues.

On a deeper level I think Total War games suffer from the fact that there really isn't any clear progression. Even in the games the AI CAN expand at a decent place, they just can't keep track of the player and it's often too randomized. A lot of people are going to hate me for this but the games should be way more scripted. Playing as the Empire it should basically be guaranteed that you will have to face a massive orc/chaos invasion in the midgame.

The biggest problem with Stormcast is that they just utterly fail to appeal to Paladin-fags. They were too busy chasing the space marine crowd to realize that just doesn't really work in fantasy. The big overhaul did a lot to improve them and actually make them look somewhat more knight like. But the default golden paint scheme and focus on a lack of human flesh makes it hard to really bring out the obvious paladin appeal.

Personally, I agree they have no place in fantasy but that's because AoS in general was a VERY deliberate attempt to move away from the more historically inspired and D&D leftover models. Warhammer fantasy WAS basically originally just a excuse for people to take their 80 year war army and play against a army of D&D orks and dwarves. You can see them trying to move away from that in the design of the more recent empire models having a lot of clear empire focused iconography, as well as the scale creep. Cathay is honestly really interesting in that regard because it's very much a pseudo historical army (You COULD probably use the figures for historical games) but it also has a lot of fantasy influences.

Norsca is flawed as fuck because as a faction they basically feel like the designers of Warhammer 1 Total War realized "Fuck, 1/3 of the map is basically useless filler". Then they made a race that was basically just Chaos 2.0 but with a different roster. It even has most of the mechanics that you would expect from Chaos (Like being able to pick your god allegiance, highly aggressive confederation, everchosen competition).

The actual solution would have been to overhaul warriors of chaos to make Norsca(The region) relevant as early as Warhammer 1 Total War and include all of the mechanics you would obviously expect from Chaos.

No thanks, it was on repeat every single fucking campaign no matter which faction you played and there was 0 variety in the endgame. Campaigns where you played as order became instant snoozefests the moment you killed your main enemy faction, the rest were uphill grinds against the same ordertide alliance that would, without exception, confederate half the map before turn 70, ally with each other, crush absolutely all opposition, then proceed to spam doomstacks against you. It was so bad that wh3 gutted all confederations and made alliances much less likely between ai factions

Clan Skurvy, the pirate rats. Around the launch of TWWH II CA published a short story called All Tunnels Lead to Skavenblight that established Thanquol was working with Skurvy for some unspecified purpose.

The story also includes the Grey Seer from TWWH's campaign remarking "a long time before Thanquol dare shows his whiskers before Council now" and I guess sitting here over half a decade later that turned out to be pretty fucking true.

N'kari is probably my favorite. Auto resolve against Helfs is suicide, so you have to actually win the first few fights and for yourself. If you survive that long, you can either sell the land back to some of the factions and eventually seduce them without fighting, or go on a warpath and have to fight through some challenging odds in the beginning.

The ritual of becoming a knight means pleasing the Lady of the Lake, which is actually real, and the result is you get superpowers.
Your entire society revolves around pleasing The Lady of the Lake and therefore getting more Super-powered soldiers who rule the land.

Ignore the other guy saying the Lady of the Lake is an elf.
She is, but a fundamental part of Bretonnian culture is vehemently denying that she's an Elf and claiming she's their personal benevolent deity.

Pleasing the Lady of the Lake to get more supersoldiers is achieved through crazy stunts and cool factor. If you win a battle and then do a flip with your horse and strike a Jojo pose the Lady is more pleased.
Imagine an entire nation that revolves around this.

Baseline Kislev is a wonderful torture, since the faction gets the short end of the stick due to their hybrid units by others around them.

Norscans actually are a threat if they get in melee, since Kislev units kill slow and "rage" gets norscan units quite scary. And kislev, until late-game also sucks at ranged as well as melee.

Kislev vs Norsca: You better make use of ranged.
Kislev vs Khorne: You wont make use of ranged, lmao. Hope autoresolve saves you.
Kislev vs Skaven: Actually quite chill, since hybrid units dont fear the menace belows as much as Empire does. Skaven mages however will fucking brutalize your units.

Dark Elves at least don't have unlimited numbers of slaves, so the ones they do have they need to make sure they're at least kept in working condition for a while, the skaven will throw away ten thousand skavenslave lives on a whim and that won't even impact them.

They need to make kislev units as responsive as empire free company militia is, because currently it's torture for anything other than turtling.
It literally takes armoured kossars 2 seconds to get their gun out before they even start aiming, and it will take them 2 more if they are told to charge into melee or shift a bit.

Try it if you have a chance. Have an all-recruited free company in your kislev army, and just marvel at the sluggish Ness.

The entire point of hybrid units is that they can quickly react and use the best for the situation. Kislev has no responsiveness.

>Bretonnians can have a women as a general as well. Nobody is going to claim they aren't humanized.
Literally nobody is going to claim that bretonnia having female generals is acceptable, unless you mean the spellcasters, I don't know if you mean that or if there's some new retcon that makes bretonnia all heckin' feminist and shit. Basing the occasional character on Isabella of Spain or Joan of Arch or Olga of Kiev, exceptions historically significant for how bizarre they are, is not the same as the literal opposite of that i.e., these exceptions being treated as normal. Also, female spellcasters have always been kosher.

Ku'Gath; Nurgle is super strong but you're always heavily outnumbered because of the tight economy; just try going for 3-4 separate fronts and you'll be really working for those wins.

You want to go Shattered Stone Isle, Shattered Stone Bay, Dread Rock, Ruin's End, Pig Barter for your opening, the goal is to get Contagion / Blight Boil before taking Ghorst, not strictly needed but it's fun. Also Greasus might confederate those ogres.

Send a Cultist to the eastern isles down south and summon Ku'Gath to take your 2nd most profitable province, you can launch a raid to Gelt's backdoor from there later.
Cults are a massive waste of money and are never going to pay themselves off, except Magus on the top cities (still not worth it), but research boost is nice (not needed).

After Ghorst you want to go west, that's where all the good defeat traits are; Imrik, Tretch and as many Drazhoath as you can farm. Ku'Gath with Tretch, Fused Armor and the speed banner fixes his mobility issues, he's fast as fuck boi now.

Keep pushing west, and into at least Halls of Greasus north, because eventually all the Kathay are going to confederate and with Gelt send the entirety of the east towards you, grinding your way through them is the real campaign victory.

It's telling that the only time you'll hear anyone bring up AoS in a remotely positive light (if at all) is in relation to its model ranges. Personally, I think the AoS range tends to skew towards extremes - with things like Hedonites of Slaanesh being overall good work, while things the Nu-Chorfs range being abhorrent dogshit.

I mean, at least on the tabletop front it managed to find its footing after a very rocky start, but AoS's overall setting hasn't really got the same pull or personality despite now being a decade in and it's still kind of coasting off WHFB, which managed to get reignited by two successful series of vidya. Kinda feels like more a sandbox for the sculptors and rules team than anything really concrete.

It ahs two things going for it to differentiate from Fantasy, for better or worse
One is that its setting is more vague, which allows for greater (Your Dudes) potential than Fantasy as you can just make up anything for your army and it will fit in, kinda like 40k
But as a consequence of it and decade of memes from people butthurt over, granted dogshit, End Times and first editions launch being...rough, it hasn't garnered as large of a secondary fanbase outside of tabletop, no loretubers and such
While this does keep away secondaries and cancer they sometimes bring, it also means that outside of tabletop its fanbase is...limited

You have to understand that GW sees vidya as competition for their plastic sales first and foremost. They'll take the supplemental income they can get by selling the license to the random phone game makers but they don't want anything that they think would detract from selling more paints and plastic. The idea of vidya drumming up interest is hardly a thought in their mind so to them, selling fantasy license to less niche titles as they were closing it down is all upside.

Sigmar was in the vortex the whole time and when he got out, he bound with the Wind of Azyr and basically became the incarnate god of Azyr who, when the world was remade, came to rule over the Realm of Azyr because apparently GW has been reading Brandon Sanderson novels.

The Stormcast Eternals (the not-space-marines) are forged from the souls of great human heroes by Sigmar himself and are essentially used as angels to be sent in at a moments notice when summoned by Sigmar with a crack of thunder to fight Chaos.

WHFB wasn't selling because it's a broken as fuck game that isn't fun to play and takes fucking forever to even have a single match, on top of that, you need basically a 4000 point army by 8th edition.
Kings of War was the prototype 8th edition that was designed to streamline Warhammer Fantasy and make it far more accessable, but Kirby hated it so the designers fucked off and started Mantic.
Then of course, 8th edition is even more of a fucking slog and they change the game to a skirmish game.
Realistically, they should have gone Kings of War route with Warhammer Fantasy, and started with Storm of Chaos fucking shit up, but Chaos have now been pushed back and the empire is expanding now, that way we can work in Kislev, Cathay, Araby and the Amazonians, and then brought back Mordheim in a big way as the skirmish game and make Mordheim ultra-grimdark with blanchitsu style marketing, but of course, GW decided to nuke the setting and do Heman mashed with D&D.

Only by secondaries or people who never had a vested interest in the setting and hobby. So it makes sense that AoS shills would push this narrative since 9 times out of 10 they have zero interest in actually playing anything related to it and are just using it as a vessel to peddle their social political garbage.

A lot of the antiAoS stuff you hear online is from Fantasy grognards who can't cope with the fact their whole range was selling like shit or from nu-fans who came in with TW/Vermintide and who repeat the same 5 opinions over and over because they wanna fit in.
The models themselves are fucking phenomenal, retarded names aside, and since the setting is very "open" they can experiment a lot and you're bound to find an aesthetic you like; this effectively means that you don't really get the same attachment to characters or events like you would for 40k/WHFB but if you're in it just to paint stuff then it's a gold mine

I dunno anon, I really wanted TOW to succeed back when it was first announced but I just can't get myself to care about it honestly; and I'm not even THAT much into AoS in the first place, and I'll be the first to admit that their take on Chorfs is fucking dogshit
They do have some cool models, mostly Tomb Kangz stuff, but they're still very rooted in ye olde wargame design where any amount of personality MUST be suppressed in favour of these big uninspiring (and frankly overpriced) armies

>>721983714
As I said above, people want big scale fantasy battles and their minis are designed for that purpose
I would really like a TOW spinoff of Underworlds, with unique models that really flesh out each race's subfactions and elite units, but I strongly doubt it will happen

>>721983990
Not really good examples. Ogres and lizardmen were both pretty abandoned compared to other ranges (still better than tomb kings and Bret’s tho), and ogres really aren’t Mongolian so much as just…I can’t even really name it. Sure they’re nomadic and you have the one odd bearded ogre there, but they’re really just an extremely blanketed faction who’s designed to be homogeneous to the setting. And yeah I know they have that whole thing about the maw but the first thing I think about ogres are their man eaters and they’re not really Mongolian coded.
Cathay also wasn’t anything outside of a fan project of one dude for white dwarf.

They wear pelts, make cave paintings, enjoy hitting things with clubs and eating them and co-exist with a lot of explicitly prehistoric wildlife in a particularly harsh part of the world, with lots of blizzards and volcanoes

About the only Mongolian things about them are that they have yurts, there's throat-singing in some of their in-game OST and they enjoy pillaging not!China

That applies to 40k and Fantasy as well to be fair, the settings we know and love was originally just an excuse to sell stuff; the fact that both have become iconic doesn't remedy the fact that both settings are filled with inconsistencies and plot holes and other retarded nonsense courtesy of an army of different writers with wildly different takes on even the most basic things.

tl;dr AoS had big Chaos invasion and Sigmar fucked off to his personal place to prepare for retaking, to do that he handpicked some real heroic fellas to fight against Chaos, don't necessarily need to be good fighters one of the named characters used to be a real medic who got murked when trying to fight back with a candlestick, and had them reforged into his own version of chaos warriors
Them existing is a reason for his and Nagash having falling out, other than Nagash being an asshole in general, and since he is still a barbarian they can, indeed, fuck and live sorta normal life when off duty, hell this guy used to be a chaos champion before Sigmarine Prime hit him with a hammer real good, he leads a group of similar guys who got beaten into being good now

As I said, their take on Chorfs fucking sucks and the only good thing to come out of that release is the amount of money I've saved
I think some factions definitely are very WoW-esque (especially Fyreslayers and Bonereapers) while WHFB is far more "Tolkienesque", but the overall quality of especially chaff units is hard to beat
I will definitely pick up some Kangz eventually, maybe Druchii too if they do them right (they won't) but the rest just looks unappealing to me
