This is free if you own Warhammer 1 and 2, is 2 still the better game?
>>727635026I always preferred tww1. never liked the campaigns on 2 or 3 and there are too many factions. I like the simplicity of 1
>>727635026At this point I’d say IE is better than ME
>>7276350262 is only good for factions that get to ignore the vortex, like TKs. Otherwise 3 is better.
>>727635026This game is only playable with SFO mod and 3 is better.
seems you only get Immortal Empires unlocked
3 kingdoms is better
every few months i boot up a campaign, every few months i loathe how they absolutely massacred the morale system except if you play brettonia/skaven, and it only works against YOU as the AI gets retarded bonkers buffs on all fronts including moralewhat happened with army shattering flanks of shogun 2 and prior? you could actually win battles by starting massive routs, they were a thing. in wh3 some skavenslaves will rout, then rally, then rout, then rally, then rout, then rally, then rout, then rally, then rout and often walk through your frontline harmlessly to magically rally right on top of your artillery and theres NOTHING you can dothey did romance/records system for 3K, they could've done something similar for wh3. the current 'fantasy' setting with bonkers parameters and a more grounded, all values toned down version for slower, more strategical battles in which losing a flank could mean losing a battle in which you outnumber 2:1
>>727637198>bloatslop lmao
>>727637885Yeah routing in 3 kind of sucks. Undead/chaos factions are much easier to fight because of it.
>>7276350263 exists just for Immortal Empires so you may as well play it.Also are you guys ready for Total War 40k to be announced at the game awards? It's gonna have spaceship combat.
>>727638420Whats the source of on this? I would say that alone could still be star wars.
>>727636148what the fuck
>>727638838It's from the 25 year anniversary stream. A buddy showed me a post from r*ddit about it. I think some other people were mentioning info about tank treads and stuff also being seen.
>>7276350262 is better if you want to play in Naggaroth, Lustria, Ulthuan, or the Southlands. 3 is better in every other scenario, ESPECIALLY if you want to play a melee faction and ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY if you want to play chaos
>>727635026>is 2 still the better game?No, it has nothing it does particularly better than 3 and you lose out on the big map and new stuff
So for someone who doesn't own any of the TW:WH games, what am I supposed to buy?
>check steam>somehow own every piece of dlc for all three games save for the three new ones just releasedI don't remember making these life choices
wh3 seems cool and all but I kinda wanna get wh2 and all its dlc, i only played wh1
>>727636148I'm definitely in favor of an IE map that's less crowded, but TW1 had all sorts of problems.
2 is utter shit compared to 3 since the launch of IE.
>>727639860What faction interests you the most? If you really have 0 clue just buy 3. The older games act as DLC for it now.
>>727635026>is 2 still the better game?Hasn't been the case for like 3 years, fucking dipshit.
Unironically how do you enjoy this game? Last Total War game I played was Medieval 2 when I was a kid. Bought this and I am lost. Smaller fights are interesting, but managing a huge army is too confusing and taxing. Having to micromanage every lord, city, skill every turn exhausts me.
>>727641413I think the genre is not just for you if you do not enjoy managing enormous armies and empires. The strategic part is even pretty shallow.
>slophammerNo thank you.
>>727639860get games 1 2 and 3use smokeapi to pirate all the dlcany other answer is wrong
>>727641840tard
>>727642092Never used it but wasn't creamapi or something the default? What makes this one better?
>>727643064creamapi broke with the more recent updates, smoke is functionally the same. just drop a .dll into a folder and it unlocks everything
>>727642092If you are going to creamapi it you might as well by only 3 since the api will unlock game 1 and 2 factions
>>727635026>This is free if you own Warhammer 1 and 2...what?i paid 60$ for this even though i had the previous 2
>>727645643You got all the factions, they won't
>>727641840>drops your game for no reason and makes you play CathayOopsie poopsie
>>727645714>You got all the factions, they won'twhat do you mean, you still need to buy 3 to be able to play with kislev, cathay and the demons?
>>727645714So they get immortal empires but can't play WH3 factions?
>>727645853Yeah, they just let you play IE
>>727640454>the launch of IE.I don't get the fandoms obsession with IE. It's not even good. Unless you're an autist for one particular faction it's not really that fun to play these campaigns past turn 40-60 based on the faction. You know you've pretty much won by then. It's just bloated turn times with a less detailed map for the area you're actually playing in.Yes Realms of Chaos was shit, but that's a separate issue.
>>727635026What? I just paid like $10 for it
norsemen cum
>>727635026>is 2 still the better game?No. The changes made to the factions in TWW3 make it a cut above 2. Even if you want to play Empire the new stuff that was added to it is simply 10/10.
3 is fun and all the factions and units offering different play styles are great but it's extremely unbalanced. Some factions struggle while other factions are rape trains with no breaks. Like the dwarfs with gyrocopters and thunder barges; completely OP and ridiculous.
>>727647715This is literally any Total War game. Even very straightforward and dry Total War games like Shogun 2 where all factions use the same units had a similar imbalance.
Is Norsca fun now? Do I need the new DLC to make it good? I've been waiting a long time
>>727648125Spoils is a bit restrictive early but it's fine, definitely an upgrade especially for the retarded devotionStarting in skeggi with the op landmark makes lizards bitchmade, I'm mad we didn't get slaangor javelins after replaying norsca
>>727648125You don't need the new DLC to benefit from the rework, but without it you won't get to play the new characters and units.
>>727648125It's acceptable now. Not great, but playable.
>>727645809Bros... love can bloom...
>>727648351>>727648362>>727648414What's the most fun campaign of the three?
>>727647715Total war isn't really supposed to be balanced.
>>727648835Definitely new one if you have DLC. Otherwise it's the guy on the boat (I forgot his name). The troll is definitely the most boring one because he just has the waaagh mechanics of orcs but with trolls.
>>727638167>I've never played with this modThe post.

Can someone walk me through the first few turns as Kairos?I always want to play Tzeentch but fucking Oxyotl always seems to come up with a full stack of big dinos by turn 5 and just walks all over me.
>>727648835I've only played Aislinn so far. It's fun, the navy is powerful but expect a lot of resources to manage and juggle (dedication, elven trade, ship supplies, phoenix king favors) which can feel confusing at first
>>727639860Medieval 2
>>727649795Tzeentch factions get cheap as fuck anti-large and cheap as fuck projectiles, which helps a lot with Oxyotl IMO
>>727649795They get the rite that gives them a feral dino stackI haven't played him in a while but you either go diplo with him, or you rush him IMMEDIATELY before even beating the nurgle dudes and min max every battle
>>727648796no
>>727649795Abuse ambushes and autoresolve. Teleport stance also ambushes, so use that too.
>>727637198SFO makes the game way easier so I don't use it personally.
>>727649795Don't bother going all the way east to the Slaanesh guy. Just finish your first war and then you might have time to kill Teclis before getting back in time for dino boy. Make sure you channel so you have enough winds for whatever magic you end up using.
